Full-time cartoonist

"Tori Akino-sensei's new work is about magical girls?"

Xiaohe, who happened to be free, was stunned when he looked at the interview on TV, and was extremely surprised in his heart, "It's really unexpected."

"What's wrong? Is there any problem with this?" Mrs. Xiaohe asked unexpectedly, "Isn't this great? Magical girls transform and eradicate evil. It is a beautiful fantasy work for girls."

Before she was an adult, she loved watching "Sailor Moon" the most. She once wrote a letter to Naoko Takeuchi, and her family has a collection of New Year's cards from "Sailor Moon" characters.

"When we were in high school, every New Year's Eve greeting card would have Sailor Moon and the others printed on it. It was a popular trend. It seems to be the same now during Chinese New Year."

Even after ten years, the light of "Sailor Moon" has not extinguished, shining in the hearts of girls, giving them a childhood full of magnificent dreams.

"Tori Akino-sensei would paint such a work, wouldn't it be perfect?"

She had seen "Red Hot Chili Pepper" painted by her husband, Akino Tori, but she didn't understand much of it. She only knew that the work was outstanding, but she had no other impressions.

If she had been drawing a magical girl, she might have been able to give her some advice.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xiaohe covered her mouth and snickered.

"This is different," Xiaohe shook his head. "It's different from Mr. Tori Akino's positioning. Maybe...his new work may have more depth...after all, it's that teacher...well."

The success of "Paprika" puzzled him. Maybe "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" has a higher level.

Xiaohe held his chin and began to think hard.

When his wife saw this scene, she didn't say anything and got up to play with the Tuxedo Mask figure.

Not long after, she heard a sound coming from the living room.

"Yes, I have time recently, um, I have made an appointment... Sorry to trouble you, Editor Yoshida."

She walked out of the room and asked, "Are you going to have a job again?"

"Tori Akino-sensei needs an assistant. Editor Yoshida has contacted me. I'll go out for a while."

He walked to the entrance and put on his shoes.

"Thank you for your work, honey."

"I'll leave the house to you."

…

Xiao Lin was wearing sunglasses and sitting on the streets of Shinjuku.

He raised his head and looked, surprised.

"Tori Akino-sensei also likes magical girl comics like me."

Recently, he has been very proud of himself. "Campus King", which has been serialized for more than a year, has achieved excellent results. An animation adaptation is also in production and will be broadcast in October this year.

He has now become what others call a teacher, fulfilling his dream.

"Although I am not as good as Tori Akino-sensei, he is so courageous now... I will also draw a magical girl in the "School Confusion King" in the future. It should be very interesting, hehehehe."

…

"Ah! Magical girl!"

Many colleagues who were paying attention to Higashino Hibiki's movements dropped their jaws and stared at the TV with dumbfounded eyes.

Yoshihiro Togashi couldn't accept it. He pointed at Naoko Takeuchi and said, "Could it be that...could it be that that guy Tori Akino...has really liked you!"

"How is that possible?" Naoko Takeuchi slapped him dissatisfied, but she also muttered in her heart.

She recalled the several times she had contact with Mirai Tori Akino, but she didn't feel anything strange.

This is an accident.

"That's right," Togashi nodded, "You have already become old and wan, and I am the only one who can love you!"

"Huh?" Naoko Takeuchi was furious and glared at him, "What did you say?"

"I said I love you." Togashi repeated.

"Okay... okay..." Naoko Takeuchi turned off the engine.

…

"Tori Akino is dizzy." Yamamura Morichi saw this scene while eating breakfast and dropped his chopsticks to the ground.

"Shounen comics on girls' comics? And it's a field he has never touched before. I really don't know what he thinks."

He picked up the chopsticks, wiped them with toilet paper, and ate the omelette again.

…

"Magical girl... um, magical girl! What! Magical girl!"

Toriyama Akira's hometown, Toriyama Akira's eyes widened, and the wrinkled corners of his eyes were almost smoothed out.

"What did that kid Higashino think... After drawing the mystery manga, he started drawing magical girls again..."

"Don't he know how to be consistent?"

"Chess and card comics, sports comics, mystery comics, and a few things in common."

"I really don't understand magical girls nowadays."

"He is indeed a young man who likes to cause chaos."

"Ha ha."

Akira Toriyama suddenly laughed.

"Yes, this is Tori Akino's future, chasing more possibilities."

His cell phone rang, and when Toriyama Akira answered, it was Toriyama Kazuhiko.

"Did Sasaki tell you? Higashino wants to stop writing. That should be true. After painting for so many years, he should also enjoy it."

After hanging up the phone with Toriyama Kazuhiko, Toriyama understood clearly.

It turned out that this disciple was still pursuing his own footsteps and began to find the joy of creating for himself after commercial comics.

"You are so willful, Toriyama." Toriyama shook his head in confusion.

…

"Mr. Omori, you were Mr. Tori Akino's assistant before, right?"

"Yes, Not Bad."

Omori raised his head and looked at the TV.

"Is Mr. Tori Akino always so surprising?" the assistant asked.

"Well," Omori replied, "'Slam Dunk' and 'Death Note' ended so abruptly that they didn't give people any time to react. They were too self-centered."

He was drawing comics as he spoke.

Since serialization, he has become very happy.

This success gained after more than ten years of hard work made him fascinated.

Omori burst into tears when he saw "Diary of Despair" appearing on Jump.

That kind of state beyond happiness made him feel that even his death was worth it.

"No, I can't die yet, I have to continue drawing comics..." Omori muttered and continued to create.

"Teacher, don't you care?" the assistant asked, pointing to the TV.

"I don't have time," Omori said, "and...Toriakino-sensei doesn't need this."

He didn't have time to care about Tori Akino, he had to seize the time to make "Desperate Diary" look its best.

Recently, he has no time to contact Xiaotian at night.

…

Yoshida Koji looked at his phone. The last time he chatted was two days ago. He thought to himself: Omori's favorite thing is comics.

This comforted him a little.

"Mr. Xiaohe, I'm troubling you again this time." Higashino Hibiki said to his assistant.

"I have to thank the teacher for giving me the opportunity." Xiaohe replied with a smile.

"This time the salary per day is 25,000 yen."

"Grateful."

Seeing that the work here was over, Yoshida Koji said goodbye.

Xiaohe sat at the work table and started working. He looked up at Yoshida's back and recalled what Yoshida said when he made an appointment with him.

"Tori Akino-sensei is about to close the book. I hope Mr. Oga can fully cooperate with him and give him an ending worth remembering."

"So this is ah."

In the studio, Xiaohe was shocked and filled with emotions.

Mr. Tori Akino, who brought endless happiness to readers, is making a graceful exit.

I really can't bear to leave him.

All I can do now is do my best.

"Tori Akino-sensei! Please let me take a look at the storyboards and original manuscripts!"

He raised his hands and said loudly.

…

Hibiki Higashino's serialization of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" has two assistants, Akimiya Akemi and Xiaoga.

It's all here now.

It’s just that the children are not easy to take care of.

After hearing about this dilemma, the Higashino couple moved into the villa.

Ichiro Higashino said, "Fishing is not as important as my grandson."

Higashikata also gave up his work on the street.

In the past, grandparents in Japan still cared about their children. At dusk, after the family had finished work, sitting together to eat was a memory worth recalling.

Nowadays, society is becoming more and more indifferent, and I am afraid that there are very few people who dedicate their space and time to the younger generations.

This is a step back in time.

Higashino Hibiki once proposed finding a nanny, but was rejected.

Facing his parents who moved here, he was deeply moved.

"Long time no see Hibiki."

At night, Higashino Ichiro and Higashino Shio were chatting in the bedroom.

"Well, he has grown up, like an adult."

"Although he always comes home to see us, I still want to spend more time with him. Don't tell him this."

"Hmm, what about Mei?"

"She's not married! She's always eating and drinking from us at home. I've long since ignored her."

"makes sense."

The old couple Higashino have reached a united front.

…

The serialization date of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" is April 23, and it is now the end of March, so there is still some time.

But for cartoonists, time is of the essence.

Not much to splash around with.

Higashikata was so busy that he started running twice a week.

"The neighbor next door seems to be serializing it again." While eating breakfast, Mrs. Miyano paid attention to this matter.

Mr. Miyano closed the newspaper, "How do you know?"

Ken Miyano pricked up his ears, serialization? Is that Mr. Higashino a writer?

From a temperament point of view, it is really possible.

"Strangers have come in and out of his house again, and he has become busy again. It is rare to see him showing up now." Mrs. Miyano explained.

"That's indeed possible. I really can't take any time off." Mr. Miyano still envied Hibiki Hibiki. Freelancers can take a long break after work, but executives like him don't have much free time in their lives.

"Mom, what does Uncle Higashino do?" Miyano Ken raised his head and asked innocently.

"I heard he's a cartoonist."

"Clang."

Ken Miyano's spoon dropped into the bowl and made a crisp sound.

He asked in shock: "Cartoonist?"

"Well, I just don't know what his works are?" Mrs. Miyano covered her cheek, "I'm too embarrassed to ask. If it's that kind of not-so-good work, just..."

…

"Mr. Higashino is actually a cartoonist!" Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Ken Miyano's brain was still roaring. "Being neighbors with a cartoonist or something... this thing is so cool!"

He watched jo4, where Hirose Koichi and Mata Toshikazu peeked at the original manga of Kishibe Rohan, which made him very envious and hoped that he could get such an opportunity.

It doesn't matter even if he is punished by "Kishibe Rohan" later.

"I wonder if Uncle Higashino recognizes Teacher Tori Akino...hehe." He snickered.

Just as he was thinking about it, Mr. Miyano exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect that Higashino-kun is so awesome. He really doesn't show his face! Our neighbor turns out to be a master cartoonist."

"Eh? Who is it?" Mrs. Miyano, who was about to wash the dishes, read the newspaper. There was a report about the Death Note movie. The one that occupied a large space was the scene of Tori Akino announcing the new work, in which Hibiki Hibiki's face was clearly visible. It was printed.

"Wow! It's him, it's amazing!"

"That's right, it's amazing. I'll have to move around more frequently from now on."

"Uh-huh!"

Their discussion made Miyano feel itchy.

After his father put down the newspaper to go to work, he immediately picked it up and read it.

Followed by…

"ah!"

Screams.

…

"what?"

Higashino Hibiki shivered in fright, and a long line appeared on the paper.

It looks particularly dazzling in the delicate painting.

"Hiss~ correction fluid, correction fluid."

He quickly revised it.

Fortunately, the parents took the children out to play, otherwise Dongye would definitely cry when he was woken up in the future.

"It must be Miyano Ken's kid." Akimiya Akemi raised her head and said, "That kid always makes noises."

"I think that child is quite well-behaved."

"It will only make a noise for a while," Akimiya Akemi said, "and then it will be quiet."

"That's right." Hibiki lowered his head and continued drawing comics.

"Tori Akino-sensei! It's Tori Akino-sensei!"

The door of the Higashino family was open, and the sound of a broken gong was getting closer and closer.

There was excitement and excitement in his voice.

Hibiki Hibiki shook his hand, well, the half-way manuscript of this painting was completely ruined.

"Oh." He sighed, "I'll go out and take a look."

"Teacher, let me accompany you." Xiaohe stood up, worried about an accident. Because this voice really sounds like a perverted lunatic.

Cartoonists should still be cautious when dealing with ardent fans.

"Thanks for your hard work."

At the door of Higashino's house, there was an anxious person, looking up at his home.

"It's you, Taken," Higashino Hibiki was surprised, and his heart relaxed, "What are you?"

"Tori Akino-sensei, I really like your "Death Note"!"

Hibiki Higashino didn't expect that his neighbor, the children he often interacted with, would actually like his work very much.

Never heard him mention this matter?

"I didn't expect that Uncle Higashino was Teacher Tori Akino. You hid it so well."

"After all, no one asked me, so just come in and do it."

"Can I go in?" Ken Miyano's eyes shone as he looked at the holy land in his mind.

"Of course, you didn't come even if I invited you before."

"That's because I'm too ignorant."

Miyano Ken walked quickly into Higashino's house, and then came to Tori Akino Mirai Studio.

"Wow, this is where you create, teacher."

He looked at it greedily.

The desktop where Hibiki Higashino works is covered with many things, and there is only room for a piece of manuscript paper to draw.

The work desktops of Akimiya Akemi and Xiaohe also have their own characteristics.

There are many original manuscripts and many tools on it.

Rulers include rulers, triangle rulers, and cloud rulers.

There are even more correction fluids, inks, craft knives and more.

There is a long table next to the work table, on which the painted manuscripts are placed to dry the ink.

"Bravo."

Ken Miyano opened his mouth wide and feasted his eyes.
