Full-time cartoonist

"We've still come this far."

Higashino Hibiki raised his head and sighed. It was normal for Omori to give up after losing hope.

After ten years of continuous failure, they finally left Tokyo and returned to their hometown in despair. This is also the life of many young people who cherish the Tokyo dream.

Not everyone is Takahashi Kazuki, who can survive until the flowers bloom and the moon shines.

"Tori Akino-sensei, what should I do?" Tanaka panicked, and he hurriedly asked Hibiki Toriyama, "Isn't this worse than me before?"

Listening to Yoshida Koji's description of Omori's current situation, Tanaka stared at Higashino Hibiki, hoping that he could make an idea.

"Editor Yoshida, do you have Omori's home phone number?" Hibiki asked Yoshida Koji with a frown.

"Yes, yes." Yoshida took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Hibiki Hibiki, "Mr. Omori's mother gave this to me before leaving."

Higashino Hibiki took it, he called Omori's house and answered quickly.

"Hello, I am Tori Akino Mirai."

"Hello! I think it's time for Editor Yoshida to arrive in Tokyo. It's great that you called me!" The woman on the other side of the phone begged, "Please cheer up that kid from Yangpu, even if you don't draw anymore. Painting also allows you to face reality and live a good life.”

Dongye Xiang's heart became heavier and heavier. He opened his mouth, but he had no confidence.

Omori answered the call.

"Tori Akino-kun? Ah, I haven't spoken to you for a long time."

Higashino Hibiki smiled and said: "Omori-san, I'm going to start drawing a new work. It's called "Death Note". It's a very interesting comic. Can you come back and help me?"

"Haha." Damori laughed, "I knew you couldn't do it without me!"

After hearing his words, Dongye Xiang fell silent.

Omori burst out in silence, "Why can you serialize it if you want! Why? Why! I've worked hard for so long, but it's useless..."

Higashikata asked in a cold voice, "Omori, are you awake?"

"Of course I'm awake! For a person like me, the girl I like treats me as a wallet, and it's impossible to become a cartoonist!" Omori said loudly, his voice getting lower and lower, and finally it became a sob, "Teacher... ...Tori Akino-sensei...just let me rot in the shadows!"

He never had the courage to try drawing comics again.

After finishing speaking, Omori hung up the phone.

There was silence in the studio, and what he said was vaguely heard by others.

"Why is this..." Tanaka said sadly, "Even if you don't draw comics anymore, you should still look at life."

"What should we do?" Dongye Xiang pinched his chin. He ran out of ideas in a short time.

It is very difficult to persuade a person to work hard.

Yoshida Koji didn't want to take care of it, but he found that Hibiki Higashino was very distressed, so he smiled slightly, "I heard that the reason why Mr. Omori fell was because he was deceived by a woman. In this case, it can be easily solved. Let him believe that there will be women. like him."

"Leave this matter to me." Yoshida hammered his chest, looking like a well-prepared strategist.

"Then it's up to you."

"Please, Editor Yoshida."

Hibiki Higashikata and Tanaka said.

"No problem!" Yoshida gave a thumbs up. He suddenly remembered something and said anxiously, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Tori Akino, can I lend you a manuscript?"

"Is there a problem?"

"It's a matter for Teacher Yamamura Shodo."

He recounted that Onishi Tsunehei recommended a manga partner to Yamamura Morimichi, but Yamamura sternly rejected him.

Yamamura's attitude is very determined. He only believes in himself now.

Koji Yoshida complained, "Teacher Yamamura is really stubborn. I don't understand what he is insisting on?"

"That's because of Arai-sensei's incident," Hibiya Hibiki recalled after understanding. "The "Sun Murder Incident" was cut in half because of Arai-sensei's misdeeds. No wonder there is a shadow in the mountain village."

As a person in a mountain village, a decision made will never be changed, let alone the experience learned through painful lessons.

"There is such a thing." Koji Yoshida suddenly realized, and he continued, "Onishi hopes to borrow the teacher's original manuscript to let Teacher Yamamura understand that his painting skills will not make "Blind Football" surpass "Death Note."

"If you want to defeat you, teacher, then Teacher Yamamura must rely on the strength of others!"

Hibiki took out five pages from the drawn manuscript, put it into the document bag, and handed it to Yoshida Koji, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Koji Yoshida took it with both hands: "Yes!"

…

Onishi Tsunehei was very distressed. Yamamura was adamant and refused to listen to others. His "Blind Football" needs to be painted in a realistic style in order to have an even more powerful effect.

Judging from Shancun's mediocre painters, this will inevitably have an impact on the effect of the finished product.

The editorial department seemed to value "Blind Football" very much and asked him to do the work in the mountain village.

The previous idea of ​​muddling along is no longer feasible.

"Also, it is necessary to have a realistic style and excellent drawing skills. There are too few such people, and most of them are famous cartoonists who cannot cooperate with others to draw..."

Daxi has been searching for information these days, hoping to find the right person before convincing Shancun Shoudao.

However, his confidence is getting lower and lower, and all he can do now is to use Yamamura's damn competitive spirit.

"Yoshida, Yoshida-kun, I leave everything to you!"

"You know everything?" Yoshida Koji patted him on the shoulder, frightening Onishi.

"When did you come back?"

"Just now." Yoshida held the document bag, "Let's go, it's time to set off."

"do what?"

"Go and persuade Teacher Yamamura."

"You got it all done? Thank you, Yoshida-san!"

"You are so realistic."

…

In Yamamura Studio, Yamamura Morimichi held Higashino Hibiki's manuscript, and his eyes widened in an instant.

"This... is too scary..."

Whether it's Su Ke's ferocious face or the uncertainty of Ye Shenyue's expression during her psychological transformation, they all reached a level of perfection.

The style of painting has changed compared to "Slam Dunk".

"Slam Dunk" is as simple as possible in addition to details, and its style is brisk and translucent, full of student spirit.

"Death Note" is more realistic, using "light and shadow" to the extreme. Even lengthy text does not look difficult.

Different comics use different styles, and the power of the painters pushes the plot tension to new heights.

At a glance, Yamamura understood the prominent role of painters in "Death Note".

If you let him draw it, it will definitely have the opposite effect, and readers will find it boring when reading.

In this way, they will not be interested in reading the content of the text.

"The role of painters turns out to be so great..."

He looked at the original manuscript of "Death Note" and muttered to himself.

He has always felt that comics only need a good plot, but now he realizes the importance of the drawing part in comics.
