Full-time cartoonist

"Is your body okay?"

“No problem, it’s the first time I feel so motivated!”

Faced with L's inquiry, Soichiro Yagami said so cheerfully.

"So handsome! Yagami Yue's father is so handsome!"

After this episode, Yagami Soichiro's charm blossomed.

Even ambitious people in the police were inspired by Soichiro Yagami.

Outside the main entrance of the TV station, countless police officers covering their faces with anti-riot shields formed a human wall!

He used his body and shield to isolate himself from outside observation, and just like that, under their protection, Soichiro Yagami drove away safely.

The media and the public were deeply moved by what the police did.

"This is the correct attitude that a legal country should take!"

…

"The person who influenced Kira's plan was actually his father?"

"How interesting! I want to see the expression on Soichiro's face when he knows that his proud son is Kira."

"The plot of confronting Laman is still interesting!"

"Death Note is so interesting!"

…

"No matter how much time passes, I still want to draw comics like "Death Note" that will make readers fascinated and have heated discussions."

Sōma Satoru looked at his classmates and couldn't help but think.

That future teacher Tori Akino is still moving forward along his dream.

He really wanted to walk side by side with Tori Akino in the future.

Worship Niao Qiuye, become Niao Qiuye, transcend...

"This is impossible, haha."

Times have changed, and in the short-term future he can see, there is no possibility of surpassing Tori Akino's achievements.

"I am in sixth grade this year. If I want to draw comics, it will take at least three years. If I want to serialize it... I have to work hard for a year... By then, it will be 2006. It's so far away, 2006."

Soma Satoru looked out the window and really wanted to leave this spring and go four years later.

…

"Satoru, what are you thinking about?" The friend patted his shoulder.

"Nothing." Sōma Satoru replied.

If you say you want to become Tori Akino or something, your friends will laugh at your delusions.

The friend sat at the table in front of Soma Satoru and looked out the window, "It's strange, there are no swimming lessons this time."

"Pfft!" Souma Satoru had just taken a sip of water, and when he heard these words spat out, his face turned red, "You guy, what are you talking about!"

"There must be something wrong with being so anxious."

…

The two of them were sitting together chatting, and a little girl beside them sighed helplessly, "Boys really haven't grown up yet."

The companion smiled and said: "Xiang Hui said this like an adult."

"Yeah, right!" Xiang Hui's eyes shone, and then she added, "It's just the boys... all discussing "Death Note" and so on. It's so boring."

In order to integrate into the group, she also watched "Death Note", but she didn't understand it very much. In short, it was about cult violence and the like, and the monsters made her very scared.

"'Death Note' is very interesting." My companion said warmly, "It is a rare high-quality comic, and the animation is also very sophisticated. It is a work that people can't put down."

"What if..." When she said this, her head hung down, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her eyes.

"Hey! Is that so?"

"Of course." My friend said, "There are very few comics like "Death Note"."

"Then I'll try again." Xiang Hui nodded hard and made up her mind.

…

After school, Souma Satoru was in the home club. He said goodbye to his good friends and went to his uncle's studio.

Soma Ichiro is still painting.

This is a look that is very familiar to Soma Satoru. His uncle is always drawing comics, but he always gets no results.

I have been busy for more than a year and have not achieved anything.

Since Shueisha's contract payment has stopped earning, his uncle has become a jobless vagrant with no income.

He is 34 years old and has devoted his energy to the industry that is like a black hole. He is not married and has no social contacts. He has become an alternative in the family and a case of mothers educating their children in the street.

"Don't be like the Souma uncle."

Sōma Satoru's mother also had opinions. This younger brother Jun was idle and depressed, and he even brought up his own child.

"Don't study like your uncle."

His mother would always say that.

"Will my future be someone like my uncle?"

Sōma Satoru thought.

He looked at his uncle's expression, so immersed in it that he was not affected by the sound of his own door, as if the pens and paintings in his hands were his world.

"It feels pretty good."

Sōma Satoru said with a smile.

…

"What's not bad?"

Soma Ichiro put down his dip pen and asked.

"Become a dedicated person like uncle." Soma Satoru hugged his schoolbag and sat on the sofa.

"Don't be me for the time being." Soma Ichiro shook his head, "I am a loser now."

Even though it has been serialized and animated, now I am just a newcomer who has started over after being eliminated.

It’s really shameful for me to still be working hard to submit articles at the age of 34.

"It's fun to work hard," Sōma Satoru said with a smile, "but it would be even better to become a popular manga artist like Tori Akino-sensei."

"Your goal is Mr. Toriyama, this is too difficult." Ichiro Soma gave a thumbs up, "But if you have a lofty goal, you will have more faith to fight. My goal is Mr. Akira Toriyama, but now It still seems out of reach.”

"Uncle, let's work hard together!"

"Oh!" Soma Ichiro raised his arms and shouted, "It... hurts..."

His excited expression froze, sweat dripped down his forehead, and the corners of his open mouth turned into twitches, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Uncle! What's wrong with you?" Soma Satoru quickly ran over and helped Soma Ichiro sit down.

"No...it's okay, I just twisted my waist." Soma Ichiro gasped in pain, "Just let me rest for a while."

He spent every day drawing cartoons and maintained the same movement for a long time, and he also suffered from a lot of problems.

Normally, the energy-saving mode is okay, but the "big move" just now was really beyond the load that the body can bear.

He can't draw comics for the time being.

"I haven't watched this week's jump yet. Xiaowu, help me get it. It's right at the door."

Soma Satoru took the jump, and Soma Ichiro endured the pain and looked at it.

Jump is a must-read for cartoonists, as you can get inspiration from it and understand the current market trend.

Learning the storyboards of other cartoonists is also a necessary course.

"The "Gaya Island" chapter of "One Piece" is still so interesting. Oda-sensei has such a rich imagination. "

"It's time for the Chuunin Exams in "Naruto". I don't know what the other ninjas in the village are capable of. I'm really curious."

"Teacher Yamamura's "Blind Football" about chasing dreams is still very passionate. Disabled people also have the right to pursue championships."

"Hunter is still on hiatus."

""Prince of Tennis"... is a bit hard to understand, but Mr. Xu Feigang's ability to inspire the audience's emotions is worth learning from."

With a spirit of learning, Soma Ichiro looked at the jump carefully and learned the strengths of different cartoonists.

"The performance of "Death Note" has declined, and it is actually in the fifth position. It seems that readers do not agree with the plot of live murder."

"Is Tori Akino-sensei in bad shape too? That's right, the storyboards of "Death Note" are difficult to write. It's too difficult to maintain a high-level plot."

Detective comics are difficult to draw, and fast-paced comics like "Death Note" are even more difficult to draw.

It’s not easy for “Death Note” to maintain its standards for 24 episodes.

"After reading this, uncle, your mind will change."

Hearing Soma Ichiro's muttering, Soma Satoru couldn't help but say.

"Oh, it seems that the chapter "Shield" is very exciting," Soma Ichiro glanced at his nephew, he was looking forward to it, "Then I'll start reading. "

…

The masked police built a human wall to protect the unknown hero Soichiro Yagami. This is a rare and passionate plot in "Death Note".

The plot here is arranged just right, and Souma Ichiro can't help but nod.

He was thinking, "Why can't I draw something like this?"

But Soma Ichiro still has some doubts in his heart, and this plot cannot explain Yagami Yue's actions.

The collapse of the protagonist's personality is a very bad point in the comic.

As the god who claims to create a new world, Light Yagami has not yet fallen to the level of threatening the police.

"First, the life of the top police officer or commander L will be taken."

"If L doesn't show up, he will kill them one by one, starting with the top brass of the police around the world."

Souma Ichiro chewed on Kira's threatening remarks in the manga.

This is something Yagami Yue can do, but Yagami Yue also cherishes feathers. He wants to maintain Kira's glorious image. This is like a murderous warning made by a terrorist organization. Unless he reaches a dead end, Yagami Yue will not will do.

Killing high-ranking police officers all over the world means that Yue has redeemed the "Eye of Death". Why did he suddenly redeem the "Eye of Death"?

It's just weird anyway.

"For the sake of conflict, regardless of the rationality of the plot," Soma Ichiro sighed, "Is that so?"

He couldn't figure out how to make this plot reasonable.

But this sentence is not over yet, Souma Ichiro continues to read.

His eyes gradually widened in surprise.

"Second Kira! So that's what happened!"

…

Outside of Yagami Yue, another Death Note owner appeared. He was a supporter of Kira and did this.

Ya Shenyue smiled proudly.

Seeing this, Yoshihiro Togashi suddenly realized, "I said it was a bit strange...that's right...it's really an ingenious design."

When the conflict decreases, third-party forces are introduced to increase more possibilities.

"What a great idea. That boy Tori Akino is so sophisticated."

"Toriakino-kun is 26 years old, right?" Takeuchi Naoko glanced at him.

"The twenty-six-year-old is also my junior," Yoshihiro Togashi stared back. He looked at the last frame of "Death Note" with envy, "It's really amazing. If only I had drawn it, damn it!"

…

The mountain village is proud of the spring breeze.

"Blind Football" was a late hit. After the initial period of transparency, the characters gradually became fuller and finally soared into the sky.

According to Xiao Zheng's ranking in 2002, "Blind Football" is always in the top three.

It's just not as good as "Naruto", "One Piece" and the occasional "Death Note".

What's even better is that Tori Akino seems to have run out of skills in the future and started to draw.

"Changing the character for the sake of the plot, was this really drawn by Tori Akino?"

"He has thrown himself into disarray. Am I surpassing Tori Akino?"

Thinking of this, Yamamura Shoudao hesitated a little. After chasing the unreachable figure for so many years, he suddenly surpassed it.

Incredible, as if in a dream, all kinds of unbelievable thoughts flooded into his brain.

"Murata-kun, is this realistic?" Yamamura asked Murata who was watching.

Yusuke Murata wanted to laugh. He didn't expect that Teacher Yamamura, who had always been aloof, also had such a fragile side.

Even though Xiao Zheng is already ahead of "Death Note" in the rankings, he still has an expression of disbelief.

"No cartoonist can dare to say that the cartoons he draws will remain above the standard."

"After many teachers become successful, they will experience a situation where they are cut off in half and unable to serialize."

"The same is true for Mr. Akino Tori, who drew "Soul of the Game" and "Slam Dunk". He has been successful enough. Under this success, there will inevitably be pressure, and pressure will lead to mistakes. This is very normal, Mr. Yamamura!"

"Please trust my judgment!"

Teacher Yamamura's tense expression relaxed.

"Yes, you are right..."

"Admit it, you are stronger now!" Yusuke Murata said with absolute certainty, leaving no room for doubt.

He wants to build confidence in Yamamura Shoudao and break the fear of birds and Akino in this teacher who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

"Yes, I am stronger now."

Yamamura sighed.

He looked at Jump with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Since 1994, I have finally surpassed Tori Akino..."

"Editor Torishima, I have fulfilled your trust."

"call."

Yamamura closed his eyes, and the hard work of so many years emerged one by one. Torishima Kazuhiko's final encouragement made him unforgettable.

Today, he has fulfilled his long-cherished wish.

"From now on, my goal will start to change." Yamamura Morimichi's eyes were sharp. He stared directly at Yusuke Murata, "Murata-kun, join me to surpass Eiichiro Oda and become the strongest manga artist in Japan!"

"That's cool!" Yusuke Murata laughed and said loudly, "Of course!"

From now on, the pressure brought by Tori Akino in the future will be wiped away, and the only thing ahead of them is number one.

…

"Let's take a look at the latest issue of Jump."

After the excitement, Yamamura sat at his workstation. He had been working hard on storyboarding for the past two days, and he didn't have time to read jump.

"This is……"

With a "click" sound, "Weekly Shōnen Jump" slipped from Yamamura Morimichi's fingertips.

"What's wrong? Mr. Yamamura." Yusuke Murata asked in confusion.

Yamamura Morimichi's throat was dry, and he asked, "Murata-kun. Didn't you watch Jump?"

"I'm busy with character design, so I don't have time. What's going on?"

"There's something wrong with what you said...Tori Akino, he didn't mess around...he is still the same, the terrifying Tori Akino...the invincible Tori Akino."

Murata became curious, what is the content of this issue of "Death Note"?

"It's true. I can't have the idea that my opponent will make mistakes." Yamamura Morichi adjusted his mentality.

In this issue of "Death Note", Xiao Zheng ranks first.
