Full-time cartoonist

Hayao Miyazaki's eyes twinkled, and the climax of "Paprika" was brilliant.

In addition to being a satire on reality, the real and false aspects of dreams rushing into reality are very harmonious and full of imagination.

This is a visual feast, and if you exclude animated movies, it will not lose to "Spirited Away".

"Tori Akino-kun still did not disappoint me. "Paprika" was adapted from "Dream Detective", taking the essence and discarding the dross, integrating his own understanding, and combining "Dream Detective" into one line. Readers I can understand and appreciate the profound meaning of "The Detective"."

If it wasn't inappropriate, he really wanted to make Paprika into a movie.

…

Masao Maruyama is also reading "Paprika", a manga that is very similar to "Millennium Actress", only more difficult to understand and more complete.

When making "Death Note", he applied to Jump for the animation project of "Millennium Actress", and this project is still under discussion.

But now, he wants to do "Red Hot Chili Peppers" more.

This is a more challenging and artistic piece.

In addition to the excellent production of Crazy House, he felt that such a good work was wasted by any company.

Masao Maruyama knocked on the table and made up his mind.

"Please help me contact Jump's editor-in-chief Sasaki."

…

There are more and more news about "Paprika", and it has not weakened at all because of its ending. On the contrary, it is more popular among readers because of this extremely ironic ending.

Many young and middle-aged people remember the 1990s vividly, and their lives were ruined by the collapse of the economic bubble.

The life of people who were enjoying life and enjoying life suddenly fell into the abyss. The social changes brought about by this huge contrast are very shocking.

The culture of otakus who do not want to go out and face the world gave birth to "eva" to teach everyone to face the world bravely and not to escape from themselves.

The economy collapsed, cults prevailed, and people no longer had harmony and friendship, so "Ultraman Tega" was released.

These are all masterpieces of the 90s.

But in the new world, people watched "Red Hot Chili Peppers" and found that everything did not get better, but got worse.

Cults are still prevalent, the economy has not recovered, prostitutes are popular, and the suicide rate is rising...

Politicians who talk arrogantly are just clay statues of gods whose promises to voters are never fulfilled.

Everyone began to reflect on the Internet and look for changes.

The influence of "Red Hot Chili Peppers" has become more and more distant, and the status of this comic has become higher and higher.

Hibiki Higashino, who painted "Paprika", became instantly popular among thousands of people.

"Tori Akino-sensei," Yoshida came to the studio, "NHK TV station wants to interview you to make a documentary about "Paprika"."

Dongye Xiang's g pen danced, he raised his head and said, "Just push it for me as before."

"Okay." Yoshida nodded, but he didn't persuade him any more.

The documentary will help promote "Paprika", but unfortunately he has proposed this matter many times, and Tori Akino has always refused.

In this case, there is no way.

"I'm sorry," Yoshida suddenly bowed and said solemnly, "I didn't realize the achievements of "Paprika" and classified it as an inappropriate work. This is my fault as a new...new editor."

He gritted his teeth and his tone became increasingly serious.

"If it were an excellent editor like Editor-in-Chief Sasaki, he would definitely be able to give Mr. Tori Akino the right guidance, but... I just poured cold water on you. Sorry!"

Higashino Hibiki was startled, put down the G-pen, and quickly helped Yoshida up, "Yoshida-kun, what are you doing?"

The current popularity of "Paprika" exceeds Hibiki's expectations.

It can only be said to be a matter of favorable weather, location and personality.

In other words, in addition to word-of-mouth, this former animated film is equally gratifying in terms of box office revenue.

The Japanese love stream-of-consciousness movies like Paprika, and comics are equally acceptable, thus arousing widespread public opinion.

"I didn't expect this, and you and I are the same." He comforted Yoshida, "At first, I didn't expect that "Paprika" would be so cold, and the readers' reactions were so amazing. Later, I didn't either. Come to think of it, it will spark discussion on a social level.

So don't blame yourself. You did a great job. "

As an editor, Koji Yoshida is qualified.

He has enthusiasm and potential, and is also rare among new editors to be serious and responsible.

Comparing him to Sasaki would be too bullying.

"Thank you, Mr. Tori Akino, I will remember the lesson of this time, know my shame and then be brave." Yoshida's eyes were red, and he clenched his fists and made up his mind.

"Yoshida-kun, you look like this," Hibiki Hibiki laughed, "just like a character in a royal manga."

Yoshida also laughed, "That's why I became jump's editor."

…

The ending of "Paprika" achieved Xiaozheng's sixth-ranked achievement, above "Naruto".

"I'm really," Masashi Kishimoto felt very embarrassed. "At first, I looked like we were both fallen people in the world, and I wanted to lick each other's wounds with Tori Akino-sensei. After that, "Paprika" got out of the trough and soared into the sky."

"When I think back to that time, I feel like a fool talking to myself, incomprehensible."

His three bedrooms and one living room were almost dug out.

"However," Kishimoto's eyes sparkled, "If "Paprika", which is ranked as low as fifteen, can succeed, then my "Naruto" can also be recognized by the audience and return to my place."

"Now just work hard, just work hard!"

He drew the comics carefully and taught Naruto that it was time for Jiraiya to come out.

…

The single volume of "Paprika" is already being printed and will be released in October. Jump asked Hibiki Higashino whether he would hold a sales meeting, but Hibiki decided against it. October was Akimiya Akemi's due date, and the conflict between the two became Oh no.

Jump also let Hibiki Higashino go.

But not long after, Sasaki came to visit, and he got straight to the point.

It's about the film rights to "Paprika."

This is very important for jumps.

The movie has a wider range of influence, can improve the reputation of "Weekly Shonen Jump", and is more conducive to its popularity abroad.

In short, there are many benefits.

Hibiki Higashino asked the production company, and after learning that it was a crazy house, he agreed directly.

Only Crazy House, who doesn't care about costs, can produce "Red Hot Chili Peppers" to perfection.

…

It's mid-September.

When Hibiki Hibiki devoted his energy to "Death Note".

Plans for the production of "Paprika" have been announced.

Many readers are looking forward to it.

One congressman was very unhappy. He always felt that "Red Hot Chili Peppers" was insinuating him.

In his election speech that year, he publicly promised to alleviate the bad phenomenon of female students openly engaging in assisted dating.

The appearance of "Red Hot Chili Peppers" put him in a dilemma. When he appeared in public, he was questioned by many reporters.

"Red Hot Chili Peppers" is now about to be made into a movie, which will be a stain on his life.
