Full-time cartoonist

Comics need the popularity of animation, and animation also needs comics to maintain the audience's interest.

An anime has just aired and the manga has ended.

What would the producers think? What would the committee think?

Therefore, not long after "Death Note" began to be serialized and the popularity remained high, Sasaki was ready to animate it.

"I hope Tori Akino can persevere more."

He raised his head and counted the time.

…

Two days later.

"Chief Editor!" Yoshida sent the document, "This is Madhouse's production application for "Death Note". It's so fast!"

Sasaki looked surprised. Before he could take action, a production company came to his door.

Madhouse discovered the potential of this comic when "Death Note" was only published for four chapters.

The application documents included a letter from Madhouse founder Masao Maruyama.

"I started to pay attention to Mirai Tori Akino-sensei at the 1994 Tokyo Student Animation Festival."

"His 'Hey-Come Out!' is a work of genius."

"I've always wanted to make his work."

"Neither Soul of Chess nor Slam Dunk were suitable, so I finally waited for Death Note. Madhouse fits this comic very well, and we will devote our energy to its production. "

"Here, I venture to think that "Death Note" will be a big success. After that, please give me the rights to produce "Millennium Actress."

"I think it's time."

This is a very sincere letter.

Madhouse, founded in 1972, is also a legend in the industry.

This company is different from other peers in that it is a very sentimental company.

Madhouse has been boldly experimenting with various styles and insisting on launching high-quality works.

Regardless of the cost, it’s crazy.

Masao Maruyama even said: "To make money? I don't know how to do animation."

Therefore, there are many idealists in Madhouse, and most of the works they produce are high-quality.

Taking the work seriously has made Madhouse profitable.

""Millennium Actress"," Sasaki's eyes narrowed at the end, "This is how to make this comic..."

"Millennium Actress" is undoubtedly a masterpiece, Tori Akino's most thoughtful work.

However, it is also a comic that does not sell well.

With Tori Akino's popularity, Komasa's ranking in "Millennium Actress" has always been in the middle.

As can be expected, "Millennium Actress" is an unprofitable, loss-making business.

"This is President Masao Maruyama." Sasaki sighed, understanding Masao Maruyama's determination.

Koji Yoshida never left. He said with a smile: "Madhouse is just right, hahahaha. This company will not disappoint, and it will definitely drive the sales of "Death Note"."

"Yes." Sasaki nodded thoughtfully, "Let's start contacting him."

…

"Blind Football" has been serialized for three chapters.

Xiao Zheng was ranked second at the beginning and soon fell to ninth.

There are no discussions about "Blind Football" on the Internet.

Readers are always keen to talk about the plot of "Death Note".

For example, L seeks help from the FBI. Someone is already tracking the policeman’s family member who is a student. How can he reverse the situation?

For example, the "Death Eyes" that can be exchanged for half of one's lifespan have the ability to know a person's name and lifespan by looking at their face.

Although the proud Yagami Yue refused, he did not want to lose his life and wanted to become a god as a human.

But readers always think that "Death Note" + "Death Eyes" equal invincibility. Maybe L will force Yue to redeem this ability. How will the plot progress by then?

They were talking a lot, and many people were speculating on the follow-up plot of "Death Note" and how the "Eye of Death" Yagami Yue would fight back.

For example, Yagami used criminals to conduct experiments to understand the extent to which the "Death Note" can control the behavior of the deceased before death.

"The Death Note can't make people do impossible things, but as long as it's within the scope that it won't be weird if the person does it, then he can do anything before he dies."

At the end of the manga, Yue, who understands the information, writes the future in the Death Note.

The protagonist is a drug addict who attempts to rob a bank and commits murder to vent his anger.

Then he started asking out girls who liked her.

How can Yagami use this rule to get rid of the people who are following him?

Mystery comics always make people talk about it, trying to deduce the author's subsequent plot.

Some authors will use information unknown to the reader to reverse the situation.

But this is obviously not the case in "Death Note". All the information is given to the readers, and it's up to them to see if they can come up with ideas that match Yagami Yue's wisdom.

Everything is so fun.

It is impossible to compare a sports comic like "Blind Football" with "Death Note" before the plot has even begun.

"Mr. Yamamura, you should be mentally prepared from the beginning. If you want to compete with Mr. Tori Akino, there will be a day like this." Murata said to Yamamura Moriichi.

"Incompetence, depression, despair, these emotions will envelope you. Step by step, you will realize the gap between yourself and Tori Akino's future. Either sink, or move forward bravely."

"Of course I know." Yamamura Morichi gritted his teeth and nodded, "These are nothing! All we can do is work hard and make the storyboards and manuscripts the best!"

Shumi Kikuchi, who was cleaning the studio nearby, looked at Yamamura Morimichi with admiration.

"So handsome, Shoudao."

At this time, Daxi pushed the door open and entered.

He lowered his head and looked at the data in his hand, not reading the atmosphere in the room at all.

"Ah, "Death Note" has Komasa in first place again." He walked in with emotion, "As of the sixth episode of the series, Komasa has been in first place three times. He is indeed Tori Akino-sensei."

Yamamura looked at Onishi and bared his teeth.

Onishi continued to mutter, "Teacher Yamamura, this time we are in ninth place and almost fell out of ten. Although you are not as good as Mr. Tori Akino, you still have to work hard. It will not be good if the results continue like this. .”

Yamamura gritted his teeth and wanted to drive this new editor out.

Onishi said: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Yamamura, "Death Note" has been animated, produced by Madhouse. It was animated just after it was serialized, which is amazing. Mr. Tori Akino is still writing his legend."

"Get out of here!" Shancun broke through.

…

"Congratulations, Tori Akino-sensei! The animation is now in full swing."

In the past two weeks, the president and supervisor of Madhouse paid a special visit to Hibiki Higashino.

The peer supervisor named Tetsuro Araki made a deep impression on Hibiki Higashino.

He has done in-depth research on "Death Note" and coincides with Hibiki Higashino's ideas.

Although he is a newcomer, he has talent and hard work, and has a good understanding of dark works.

The little-known Araki Tetsuro has not yet been recognized by Hibiki Hibiki, but he has already begun writing the storyboards for the first episode of the "Death Note" animation.

Some of the cards are about Yagami Yue writing furiously on the "Death Note".

The switching of shots can be called aesthetic.

Ye Shenyue had a crazy look in her eyes, and as she wrote, people kept dying of heart paralysis.

A smile appeared and disappeared at the corner of his mouth, and his movements became more and more free and handsome.

Different close-ups, different angles.

Ya Shenyue's expression changed from solemn to more and more exaggerated.

The weight of life is getting lighter and lighter.

After seeing the storyboards, Hibiki Higashino directly agreed to Madhouse's production of "Death Note."

By this week, the contract had been signed and Madhouse nervously began production.

Koji Yoshida continued: "The initial date is April next year."

Hibiki Higashino nodded, "I understand, thank you, Editor Yoshida."

It's already November, and with pre-production and broadcast completed in less than half a year, Madhouse is already making rapid progress.

…

After the work was over, Hibiki continued painting, but Koji Yoshida did not leave.

Akimiya Akemi completed the "Sakura Mission" in stages. She stood up and stretched, preparing to take a rest.

"Eh?"

Akimiya Akemi was going to sit down on the sofa and watch TV to change her mood.

As a result, she saw Koji Yoshida sitting on the sofa, pressing the buttons on his mobile phone non-stop, and the "click-click" sound kept ringing.

Along with the movements of his hands, the corners of Yoshida's mouth curved up from time to time, and Akimiya Akemi could see that he was very proud and excited.

"Are you chatting with the girl you like?" Akimiya Akemi asked curiously.

Yoshida was shocked, and he quickly hid the phone, "No, it's not."

Seeing that he didn't want to answer, Akimiya Akemi stopped asking.

This made Yoshida Koji relieved.

"Editor Yoshida, may I ask when the new assistant will arrive?" Tanaka raised his hand feebly and asked, "The teacher has not saved the manuscript for a long time."

Now the two of them are finishing the weekly, which is very tiring.

Although Tanaka is very suitable for painting the gloomy "Death Note", he cannot use people as donkeys.

He was so worried that he would also die suddenly.

Now he doesn't even have time to clean up, so he lies down in bed and sleeps after returning home.

"It's going very well. Please hold on a little longer. It won't be long." Koji Yoshida replied with confidence, "I have been communicating with Mr. Omori. He has changed now and will be able to start a new life soon."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Tanaka no longer even felt happy.

Tori Akino's studio didn't finish until 10pm yesterday, so he pushed his bicycle home.

Tanaka was too slovenly dressed because he worked long hours, and he didn't have time to clean his hair, which covered the upper part of his face.

Because of this, he was actually questioned by the police, who mistook him for a bicycle thief.

Especially when Tanaka stammered his answer and avoided looking directly at the police, this suspicion became even higher.

After Higashino Hibiki arrived to explain, the matter was finally resolved peacefully.

Since yesterday, Tanaka has become afraid of the night, and he hopes to get off work early.

…

Akimiya Akemi flicked the TV station aimlessly.

She didn't know what she wanted to do, she just had nothing to do and pay attention.

"The Kanto Junior High School contacted us, and the administrator said that someone had handed over a book, which was a curse book for Mr. A."

He is also the protagonist of "The Incident of the Drunkard Rose Saint".

"This is what the book looks like."

Akimiya Akemi stared intently.

This is a black notebook with "DEATH NOTE" written on it!
