Full-time cartoonist

"Supervisor Kaede Inoue, Jump informed us that Mr. Tori Akino is planning to finish "Slam Dunk" after the end of the Sanno War. This will be a huge loss to our Toei Company, just like the ending of "Dragon Ball"."

"We learned that Mr. Tori Akino invited you to his wedding. Therefore, we ask you to persuade him to change his mind when you meet with him."

"I leave everything to you, so be sure to take it seriously."

When Inoue Kaede received the notice from her superiors, she was extremely surprised.

"Ending "Slam Dunk" after the battle of the Mountain King? How is this possible!"

"Tori Akino-sensei is that unwise?"

The current "Slam Dunk" is when the comics are at their most popular, and he clearly sees Tori Akino's future courage.

In the three years and nine months of serialization, Tori Akino's storyboards and his painting skills have reached a new peak.

Readers are excited to read every episode.

In the first half of Shohoku's game, Mitsui Hisashi was the center of attack.

In today's game, Mitsui was also in good condition.

Whether it's the balance of the body, the seamless feeling of the fingertips touching the ball, or the smoothness of the wrist swing, they are all perfect.

He feels like he can score big points.

Sure enough, after receiving the pass, he made a jump shot directly from outside the three-point line. While the basketball was still flying in the air, Mitsui had already clenched his fists.

Scored!

Later, when faced with the defense, Mitsui made a quick decision without any hesitation and hit the shot quickly.

He hit three of three shots and gave the Mountain King a disastrous start.

"Sanno played so well against Mitsui. This smooth goal made me very excited. I thought that if Mitsui didn't have a window period, he would be even more amazing."

"You only used the skills you had in junior high school to shine in the high school national competition. Mitsui in the past was so good that he deserves to be the MVP."

"But Tori Akino-sensei drew like this with the help of Konobu Mumu."

"He regretted himself too much, so he subconsciously beautified the past and felt deep self-blame for his current self."

Mitsui Hisashi really thought so. When he was exhausted in the match with Xiangyang and his body was so exhausted that he couldn't open the can tab, he hated his past self.

Coach Anzai also looked at Mitsui who was playing last game and said:

"Whenever he feels the heavy pressure brought by the two-year gap, he becomes unable to believe in his own strength."

"However, you should be able to regain your confidence now."

"Because you have completely surpassed your past self."

The current Mitsui is a more powerful Mitsui Hisashi than he was in the past.

In the competition in Xiangbei, he felt unwilling to give up. After hard work, he finally polished himself to be even more brilliant.

In order not to leave regrets, even if he burned out, he would never give up and became a stronger Mitsui Hisashi.

Coach Anzai stood up, raised his arms to Mitsui, and recognized the current Mitsui.

The results of "Slam Dunk" have reached a new dimension. In the new chapter, Tori Akino's future thinking is more active, his brushstrokes are more sensitive, and his comics are more popular among readers.

"So even if this happens, will you be finished? Tori Akino-sensei."

Kaede Inoue was confused. He worked hard for "Slam Dunk" and devoted 100% of his energy to animation.

He also blocked the high-level plot request. Even if he could catch up with the progress of the comics, he would rather finish the animation temporarily rather than affect the quality of the work.

He has put in so much, but as a result, will "Slam Dunk" come to an abrupt end?

Inoue Kaede wanted to ask clearly.

…

There is only one day left until the wedding.

Late night, studio.

Hibiki Higashino is still drawing comics. Even if he is getting married tomorrow, he has to hurry up and catch up on the progress and draw the storyboards for the next chapter of "Slam Dunk".

Even though the publication would be suspended for one issue due to his marriage, he still had to complete the spin-off of "Slam Dunk", so he couldn't relax at all.

The desk lamp in the living room was emitting a dim light. Hibiki was sitting and working in his pajamas. The lights in the building outside the window had long been extinguished. There was silence and darkness.

In the residential area, there was no sound at all at this time.

The night is already very deep.

"Swish."

Higashino's pen tip kept ringing.

At this time, Akimiya Akemi stood next to Hibiki in yellow pajamas and asked with concern: "Let's take a rest."

"Yeah," Higashikata nodded.

He looked up and saw the coffee Akimiya Akemi had brewed, took it with both hands, and said gratefully: "Thank you."

Akimiya Akemi smiled and said: "There is no need to be so polite between us."

She walked to the window, looked at the only bright moon in the sky, and exhaled, "We are getting married."

Higashino Hibiki had just taken a sip of coffee. When he heard this, he quickly put down the coffee, stood up, walked behind Akimiya Akemi, hugged her arm from behind, and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you uneasy?"

"No." Qiugong Minmei shook her head, her flawless white face becoming more and more attractive in the dim light.

"I just never thought about what I would be like after getting married."

Higashino Hibiki said softly: "After we get married, we will only become closer and we will never be separated for the rest of our lives."

Akimiya Akemi lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and she whispered "Yeah" softly.

How could Hibiki Higashino bother to draw comics? He picked up Akimiya Akemi, buried her head in his arms, and returned to the bedroom with the intoxicating fragrance.

A creaking sound soon came from the bedroom, but the lingering fragrance of coffee on the table never left.

Tonight's night is extremely long.

…

The next day, before the wedding, the makeup artist joked: "When I think about getting married, I am so excited that I can't sleep. The dark circles under my eyes are so serious. Mr. Tori Akino, you are really like a child."

She covered it up with double concealer.

Dong Yexiang was drowsy, and was shocked by these words, and said repeatedly: "Yes, I am like this!"

Neither he nor Akimiya Akemi were religious, so they did not go to a church to get married. Instead, they got married in a hotel, which had been decorated and made a lively scene.

After putting on makeup, Hibiki wore a suit and combed his hair like an adult. He looked much more elite.

When we arrived at the wedding venue from the backstage, there were already many people there. One-third of the 12 banquet tables were occupied, and everyone was sitting together because of their relationship.

Relatives on both sides, cartoonists and editors, classmates and friends.

"hello."

Nishimura waved to Hibiki Hibiki, Kitamoto beside him.

Higashino Hibiki looked over and saw that Nishimura had changed drastically.

His body became much stronger, his frivolity disappeared, and his whole person became much calmer.

There is a feeling of being very reliable.

As for Kitamoto, he's still the same. In other words, he has always been mature.

Dong Yexiang walked over.

Nishimura sighed: "You are so handsome today, you are shining."

Higashikata pursed his lips and smiled softly: "After all, I'm getting married."

He was very uncomfortable with the powder on his face.

"Ah, how enviable," Nishimura whispered jealously, "Is your wife really Teacher Akimiya? The very beautiful and beautiful Teacher Akimiya?"

"Yes." Dongye Xiang nodded reservedly, but the smile on his lips could not be suppressed.

"Damn Higashikata!" Nishimura went crazy, "You always hide things from me."

It was as if he was Tori Akino Mirai. If he hadn't met at the autograph session, he wouldn't have known about it.

"Sorry, sorry, because it's always hard to talk about this kind of thing," Higashino Hibiki said to Kitamoto: "Kitamoto must feel the same way."

Beimoto nodded, "Higashiya, long time no see, happy marriage."

"Eh?" Nishimura looked at the two of them in disbelief, "What else are you two hiding from me? Am I the only one who doesn't know?"

"Excuse me."

"Well, sorry."

Nishimura: "..."

Hibiki changed the subject, "Nishimura, you rushed back to Tokyo from Hokkaido to attend my wedding. It's really interesting."

"Of course," Nishimura grinned, "this is me."

He talked about his own affairs, and the ranch daughter also wanted to accompany him to the wedding, but he refused.

"Dongye, you didn't invite her. What is she doing here? Really."

Higashikata patted Nishimura's shoulder and sighed silently.

Kitamoto also shook his head regretfully.

…

Higashino Hibiki was very busy today. After chatting with the two for a while, he went to meet the others.

When Hibiki Hibiki walked towards him, Odagiri stood up immediately.

"Tori Akino-sensei, happy wedding."

We haven’t seen each other for a long time and he is a little reserved.

"Thank you," Higashino Hibiki looked at him happily, "Odagiri, no, Odagiri Honinbo, nice to meet you."

"Teacher," Odagiri raised his head, "you can just call me Odagiri."

Hibiki Higashino shook his head, "You have realized my dream, and I am very grateful to you. You must have worked very hard to win the highest honor of Japanese Go at the age of 19. Thank you for your hard work."

That is the path of Go that he gave up. Odagiri can become "Honinbo", and Hibiki Higashino has no regrets.

After all, the person in front of him was Odagiri, who was influenced and enlightened by himself.

"Teacher, Mr. Higashino Hibiki..." Odagiri's eyes were slightly red.

At this time, someone patted his head and said, "Really, there is nothing to cry about when it is so lively."

He is Xiaochun.

There is another person beside him, his wife.

"You're still talking about him, but you're the same. When you saw Odagiri-kun becoming "Honinbo", weren't you also moved to tears with excitement? "

Xiaochun became angry and said, "You bitch, what are you talking nonsense about?"

As soon as he showed up, the atmosphere became more lively.

Higashino Hibiki was very happy, "Uncle Xiaochun, long time no see. Thank you for traveling thousands of miles to attend my wedding."

Koharu glared at Higashi Hibiki, "Whatever you say, I will definitely come to your wedding."

"Yeah, sorry."

The two chatted for a while, and Hibiki walked towards the others with a smile.

There is Shinoda 4th dan, Yamazaki Akira 2nd dan, and Tetsuya Endo supervises.

There is Asahina Yuko, Minami Chiharu, Hana Chao and others.

There's Yahagi, there's Nao Sasaki, and there's Kazuhiko Torishima.

There is Yamamura Morido, Oda Eiichiro, and Toriyama Akira...

"Teacher Toriyama," Hibiki Higashikata walked over.

…

Toriyama Akira felt uneasy when facing Oda with a very aggressive gaze.

When Dong Yexiang came over, he felt relieved and hurriedly greeted him.

"Ah, I still think it was yesterday when you and Qiugong were my assistants."

"Teacher Toriyama, long time no see," Hibiki Hibiki held his palm, feeling excited in his heart, "I have a lot to say to you."

The more now, the more he wants to talk.

"Then it's better to wait until after you get married, otherwise your wedding will be delayed." Akira Toriyama smiled, "Actually, I also want to talk to you about "Slam Dunk" and "Millennium Actress", especially "Slam Dunk" and "Millennium Actress". Millennium Actress"."

When he watched "Millennium Actress", he was shocked by Hibiki Hibiki's growth.

Such comics must be drawn by someone with rich experience.

Tori Akino is only 23 years old. Where did he get the feeling?

But if you think about it carefully, Mirai Tori Akino has been drawing comics for six years.

This is a rich experience.

It is possible for a genius like him to draw "Millennium Actress" if he has inspiration when selecting materials.

"Let's talk later, we will get together again." Toriyama Akira passed in front of Hibiki Higashino and sat down at the editor's table.

When Oda saw this scene, he slapped his hands in disappointment.

Higashikata couldn't help but smile.

Oda, a fanatical fan, scares the idol.

Masashi Kishimoto was much more honest and only asked for an autograph.

but……

"Will we meet again?" Hibiki Higashino wondered, "Is Mr. Toriyama planning to attend next year's New Year's party?"

He didn't think too much about it, the wedding was about to start.

Hibiki Higashino thanked the relatives and friends present and prepared to go backstage.

At this moment, someone stopped him.

"Tori Akino-sensei."

It's Kaede Inoue, the supervisor of "Slam Dunk".

Hibiki Higashino smiled broadly, "It's Director Inoue. You've worked hard. The recent animation is very interesting. What can I do?"

Inoue Kaede wanted to ask Hibiki Hibiki about the ending of "Slam Dunk", but when he saw the smile on Hibiki's face, he couldn't help but froze, and murmured: "Happy wedding."

Higashikata replied: "Thank you."

Looking at Hibiki Higashi's retreating back, Inoue Kaede felt relieved.

…

"What did you just say?"

Hibiki Higashino and Akemi Akimiya sat in the center of the stage, decorated with flower baskets in front of them.

Akimiya Akemi was able to ask in a low voice.

She wore a pure white wedding dress, representing a once-in-a-lifetime loyalty.

She is beautiful enough at ordinary times, coupled with exquisite makeup, a sacred wedding dress, her hair rolled back, and decorated with white butterfly makeup and hair accessories, she becomes even more bright and charming under the light.

Akimiya Akemi was tilting her head at this time, whispering and biting Hibiki's ears under the blessing eyes of everyone.

"Well, they are all people I haven't seen for a long time." Dongye Xiang turned sideways and moved his lips slightly, "I was very touched at the moment."

"That," Akimiya Akemi still wanted to say.

Dong Yexiang shook his head slightly.

Torishima Kazuhiko walked to the microphone.

"I am honored to officiate this wedding."

"Higashino-kun, Miss Akemi, congratulations on your marriage!"

There was applause.

Kishimoto Masashi whispered, "Mr. Torishima hosted the wedding, so enviable."

He did not encounter Oda's incident, and he was full of admiration for Toriyama Kazuhiko, who discovered Toriyama Akira.

"I will do the same in the future!"

Thanks to the pig farm driver for the tip.
