Full-time cartoonist

Akemi Akimiya's monthly serialization began soon.

Because "RIBON" is a monthly magazine, the number of manuscripts for "Sakura Mission" in January is about 38 to 42, so Akimiya Akemi is not going to find an assistant and will complete it alone.

This workload is not difficult for her.

but……

"Sorry, Hibiki." Akimiya Akemi apologized to Higashino Hibiki: "I can no longer be your assistant."

She would also help draw "Slam Dunk" in her spare time, but she could not serve "Slam Dunk" as much as she did at work.

Higashino Hibiki looked at her distressedly and said with emotion, "Female junior, hugging the gold brick, you are right. Sister Mingmei, you are so considerate."

He felt infinitely pampered.

Higashino Hibiki's eyes were intense and he took a step forward. His toes were only an inch away from Akimiya Akemi's.

Akimiya Akemi subconsciously took a step back and looked at Hibiki Hibiki in shock.

Higashino Hibiki took another step forward, held her hand, and said movedly: "You are finally able to serialize, and you are still thinking about my situation... woo woo woo."

"Isn't this what I should do..." Akimiya Akemi said awkwardly: "Also, can you not mention the phrase "It's not easy to serialize"? Are you mocking me? "

"Ah, sorry."

After Hibiki's seizure ended, he returned to normal.

He said: "Just focus on "Sakura Mission", I can handle it."

If he really can't make up for the time, he can take a break from publishing, right?

Higashino Hibiki continued: "If you need anything, you must tell me."

"Yeah!" Akimiya Akemi nodded with a smile.

Anyway, Miss Akimiya has started serializing.

Hibiki Higashi met her in 1993. After acquaintance, mutual understanding, and love, in the spring of 2000, she finally realized her dream.

…

Higashino Mei, Minami Chiharu, and Asahina learned about the news of Akimiya Akemi's comic series, and joined in the fun and came to Higashino's house to hold a party.

Asahina looked at "Sakura Mission" and nodded. She wanted to produce this manga.

Hibiki Higashino could tell that "This Is Us" was too simple to make and she couldn't show off her talents.

At night, they spread the mattress in the living room and held a pajama party, throwing pillows and other entertainment. Hibiki wanted to join in. Chiharu Minami and Yuko Asahina did not resist, but Akimiya Akemi did not allow it and pushed Hibiki out of the living room.

In the end, Higashino Hibiki could only play "Red Alert" in the study all night.

The next day, Akimiya Akemi got up and looked at the messy living room. Thinking of what happened last night, she couldn't help but blush.

She quietly put away her private items, fearing that Hibiki Higashikata would peek.

Until three strokes up at noon, she still didn't see Hibiki Hibiki. Finally, after searching for a long time at home, she found Hibiki sleeping on the floor of the desk, with the computer screen still on.

She couldn't help but smile, "I'm worried about this guy. There's really no need."

A week later, Higashino Hibiki turned over "RIBON", and finally he simply cut out "Sakura Mission" and posted it on the bedside.

Akimiya Akemi was so ashamed that she finally tore it off under strong request, which made Hibiki Higashino regretful.

…

Time is starting to speed up.

While the audience of "Slam Dunk" was waiting for the animation to resume, before they knew it, summer vacation had arrived.

"Ah, "Slam Dunk" is so good."

Koji Yoshida, a fourth-year college student, raised his head and looked at the sky. There was a plane flying over, and a trajectory line cut across the sky.

"I really want to see the animated version, with the characters moving, the sound of basketball shoes rubbing against the court, the sound of encouragement, the sound of the basket hitting the net, the sound of covering the hot pot..."

It has been three months since "Slam Dunk" went off the air.

Facing Kawada, Akagi fell into confusion. He himself was not Kawada's opponent at all.

He couldn't think of what he should do to win.

It wasn't until Yu Zhu appeared in a chef's uniform that he spotted Akagi.

"Kawada, who has great skills, is a snapper."

"Do you think you can use the adjective gorgeous? Akagi."

"You're just a flounder, and you're only worthy of wallowing in the dirt."

Hearing Yuzhu's words, the exhausted Mitsui thought thoughtfully, "Kawada is Kawada, Akagi is Akagi...what about me?"

He's looking for his place.

Akagi also wants to understand that he has always been the backbone of this team. Among the opponents he has encountered, no center has surpassed him. In other words, Akagi has always been Shohoku's advantage moving forward.

Akagi, who is used to shouldering pressure, has always thought like this, "I always thought that if I couldn't beat Kawada, Shohoku would be defeated..."

"Even if I can't, there are still them!"

"As long as I can bring out their talents!"

"Wrap yourself in the dirt!"

Even though Akagi is still not Kawada's opponent, he is already extremely determined. The soul of Shohoku, Takenori Akagi, is finally resurrected.

Mitsui was too exhausted to defend Sanno's shooting guard Matsumoto, allowing the opponent to surpass him.

But under the basket, there is Akagi, and behind Akagi, there is Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Shobei's defense lines were finally connected.

Matsumoto's layup was blocked.

Mitsui's breathing became louder and louder, and his tired eyes could hardly hold on. His whole body was covered in sweat, and he was almost exhausted.

Matsumoto wondered why Mitsui was still on the court when he was so tired.

He heard Mitsui ask him: "Kawada is Kawada, and Akagi is Akagi. So... who am I? Who am I? Who am I? Tell me?"

Matsumoto was stunned and looked at Mitsui with his mouth open.

"What is he saying?"

At this time, Akagi stopped Matsumoto and asked Mitsui to move.

Outside the three-point line, Miyagi passed the ball to Mitsui. After receiving the basketball, Mitsui raised his head tiredly under the lights, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Yes, I am Mitsui Hisashi, a person who never gives up!"

He took off and threw the basketball with perfect posture. The basketball flew through the air and hit the net in Mitsui's eyes!

He was so exhausted that he could no longer stand still, but he was still able to shoot!

His physical strength and spirit have declined, but his belief in dominating the country has always supported him.

Akagi blocked his opponent, Miyagi passed the ball, and Mitsui hit the net with a three-pointer while looking at the basket in a daze.

Even though he fell to the ground exhausted, Mitsui still got up with support. Even if he forgot whether it was offense or defense, Mitsui still stood on the court. With his three-pointers, he continues to contribute to the team's victory.

More than that, the attack in Xiangbei is more than that.

After all, it is too difficult to hit a three-pointer. Even Hisashi Mitsui cannot hit it every time.

Shohoku attacks from the outside, and Sanno just needs to grab rebounds.

At this time, Sakuragi's role is reflected.

Mitsui missed a shot and Sanwang defended tightly under the basket.

Sakuragi took off three times and grabbed the rebound with his terrifying jumping power!

The basketball was in Mitsui's hands again. This time, he made no mistakes and hit a three-pointer!

Coach Anxi's tactics were successful.

He stood up in surprise and clenched his fists hard!

Because Sakuragi is here, Mitsui can shoot without any scruples!

"What has supported Mitsui to the limit is——"

"Akagi blocked the opponent for Mitsui so that he could have an opening to shoot the ball."

"Seize this moment and pass the ball to Mitsui's Miyagi."

"Sakuragi can get the rebound back even if he misses..."

Mitsui now fully trusts his teammates, and Shohoku, who has been playing alone, has become a team working together.

The score reached 49:63, only 14 points away, and there were 10 minutes left before the end of the game.

…

The exciting content of "Slam Dunk" made Koji Yoshida extremely excited and brought tears to his eyes.

Mitsui, Akagi, Miyagi, and Sakuragi, together, have unparalleled power.

This was a plot that he couldn't guess, and it was also something he didn't expect.

Koji Yoshida realized that this might be the most wonderful reversal.

"It's such a shame that such interesting content cannot be seen on TV."

…

Without the animated version, viewers who have always been accustomed to it suddenly understand how precious it is.

On Tuesday afternoon, school ended at 3:40, and sports equipment was put into the warehouse early.

Hua Chao walked in and walked around. It was inevitable that there were boys and girls. In the animation, the man and woman who had a crush on each other were locked in the warehouse.

He then locked the door and went home from get off work.

After preparing dinner, Akagi Kyoko hasn't arrived home yet.

Hua Chao looked at the time, walked to the sofa as usual, sat down, and turned on the TV.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, what appeared in front of Hua Chao on TV Asahi was a bloody TV series called "The Mother Who Falls in Love with Her Husband".

Hua Chao suddenly realized that "Slam Dunk" had been off the air for a long time.

He won't be able to see Sakuragi and the others sweating in the stadium for a long time.

Hua Chao turned off the TV, took out the single volume of "Slam Dunk", and started reading silently.

"Let's think about it again."

…

The sun in July is really strong, the kind of sun that will tan your arms in no time if you wear short sleeves.

July 4th, next to the tram stop, on the bus.

Nanase endured the sun and waited boredly.

It was fine in May, but by July, the bus became an oven.

Grandpa Jinchuan, the veteran driver, handed her a bottle of ice-cold mineral water.

"The tram will be arriving soon."

"Well, thank you." Nanase took the mineral water and drank it all in a few gulps.

After "Sakura Mission" was serialized, the Mamano Mountain Tourism Association attached great importance to it and immediately asked Nanase Yui, the prototype of the heroine Kichun Yuno, to take on the work of a female tour guide to realize her self-worth.

After Nanase was worried, he bravely accepted the job.

At first, she waited anxiously for the tourists who came to watch "Sakura Mission".

She memorizes her lines every day, trying to present a professional image to tourists.

But a month had passed, and only a few tourists had arrived, which disappointed Nanase.

The number of tourists has not increased compared to last year.

Then Nanase started to get bored.

She also felt uneasy about taking money and not doing anything, and feeling accused inside.

With this feeling, another month has passed.

President Kadota still didn't give up and asked Nanase to guard at the bus stop.

In this way, Nanase's conscience gradually disappeared, and she became a tax thief with peace of mind.

The next tram was about to arrive, and Nanase had to walk out of the convenience store and face the steaming bus.

"I don't know what the point of doing this is."

After the tram arrives at the station, passengers get off.

Nanase leaned against the window and propped up his shoulders, watching boredly.

"One, two... how many of them are going to Mount Masano?"

"Eh!"

She suddenly noticed that many passengers were walking towards her while laughing and chatting.

"Could it be?"

Nanase was stunned.

"Nanase-chan, why don't you get out of the car quickly?" the old driver reminded with a smile.

"Yes Yes!"

Nanase waved his hands and quickly ran off the bus, wearing a king's uniform and waving his scepter.

"Ah, what a shame."

She was really worried that these dozen passengers would snicker and pass her by.

"Hello!" A girl raised her hand and asked excitedly: "Are you the king of the Chupacabra Kingdom?"

"Yes!" Nanase responded loudly, "It's me!"

"There really will be a king!"

"Exactly the same as Akimiya Akemi-sensei's comics."

"The king is so cute!"

Many people in the crowd said loudly.

"Where..." Nanase lowered his head, his face flushed.

More than a dozen tourists boarded the bus to Mount Masano.

The bus started to drive, and there was not much traffic on the road to the town. The bus drove very fast, the wind blew, and the interior of the bus quickly became cool.

"I wanted to come over for a trip because Yuno-chan is cute."

A young lady said with a smile.

"I didn't know where to travel, and it was a pity to miss this summer vacation. I just happened to watch the third episode of "Sakura Mission", so I came to Mount Gano."

As there are more and more plots in the comics, the scenery, humanities, and specialties of Mount Kano are also constantly appearing, so readers begin to come because of the comics.

"I'm curious about palaces and stage plays."

Most of these tourists are girls, and there are a few boys who are also the boyfriends brought by the girls.

The tourists are of similar age and have the same goals. They talk freely and chat with great interest.

Nanase was fully prepared, she swallowed and stood up.

"I am Nanase Yui, the interim king of Kanoyama. Welcome everyone to travel to my kingdom..."

As she talked, she gradually let go and returned to her lively nature.

"The scenery in our wild mountains is very beautiful. In the forest in summer, there is a field of wild flowers. At night, there are fireflies here."

She also mentioned the specialties of Kanoyama and the sights that should be visited.

"It's a pity that you didn't arrive in spring. We have a cherry blossom pond here. There are cherry blossom trees beside the cherry blossom pond. When the cherry blossoms fall, a unique "Dragon Girl Festival" will be held. "

Someone raised their hand and said, "If it's interesting, I'll come in the spring too!"

“Very welcome!”

…

In the evening, Nanase and Akimiya Akemi were on the phone for a long time. Hibiya Hibiki also waited for a long time. If he didn't hang up, he would miss the evening's activity time.

"Sister Mingmei, thank you very much!"

Nanase was talking about today's work. She had been busy for a long time and was very fulfilling.

Qiugong smiled and catered.

Unconsciously, Nanase started snoring.

"Is it over?" Higashikata asked.

Without waiting for an answer, he pressed forward.
