Chapter 333 "There is nothing to be afraid of anymore"

Readers who like battle scenes and readers who like magical girl themes both looked at Jump in unison.

On campus, Mingjiu has been immersed in comics.

Although he kept saying that he was a grown man in high school and would no longer read childish comics like "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", but sure enough, in the end, he couldn't extricate himself from the world created by Mirai Tori Akino.

…

On the way home from visiting Kyousuke Kamijou with Sayaka, Madoka accidentally bumped into the Seed of Lament that was about to hatch.

Madoka goes to find Asami-san, and Sayaka and Kyubey enter the witch's barrier to monitor the Sorrow Seed.

"Wow, why is it a bit disgusting..."

Kyubey is like a doll, his expression never changes.

In such a dangerous situation, it still smiled, which made Mingjiu uncomfortable.

"It's an illusion," he looked at Kyubey. "It can't be Master Tori Akino's painting mistake."

The must-have mascot for a magical girl actually made him shudder.

In the witch's enchantment, the style of painting suddenly changed.

The background changes to a strange scene of nurses, needles, and infusion bottles.

This is also the consistent style of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica". The witch's painting style is always scary and strange.

Sayaka came to a door with "Under Surgery" written on it. The seeds of sorrow flickered inside, and the witch was about to hatch.

Kyubey induced her to become a magical girl, but Sayaka refused.

"If I can help it, I don't want to make a decision half-heartedly."

This is also the difference between Madoka and other comics. The protagonists have not become magical girls for a long time.

Mingjiu shook his head, "Is it necessary to be so cautious?"

…

Kobayashi, who likes to watch "Slam Dunk", and Amway, who was excited by a friend some time ago, said, "Tori Akino-sensei drew a battle manga."

He didn't like magical girls, so he started watching them.

"Ah, Asami-san has finally arrived, and there will be exciting battle scenes to watch again. Tori Akino-sensei is also serious, wouldn't it be nice to draw more fight scenes?"

He looked at the manga, and Tomoe Asami and Madoka also entered the witch barrier.

This time the witch's realm has become a fairy tale style. Although there are medicine bottles and scissors, there are more desserts.

Cakes, cookies...

“Looks delicious.”

Xiaomi Homura came in behind Madoka and the others, wanting to dissuade Tomoe Mami from crusading against the witch herself, but due to their previous conflicts, Tomoe Mami distrusted her and tied Xiaomi Homura with a ribbon.

Then she and Madoka explored deeper.

With her reliable senior, Madoka gradually began to be honest.

"I've never had any subjects that I'm good at, no talents that I'm proud of, nothing."

"I think I may never be able to help anyone in the future. It will only cause trouble."

"I hate it but there's nothing I can do about it."

Asami responded to Madoka's words while carefully exploring the path ahead.

She is so mature and steady.

So Madoka said, "But I met Asami-nee, who showed me how to fight to help others! Telling me that maybe I can do the same thing, makes me so happy!"

She thought that by becoming a magical girl, she would become useful and be able to live with her chest held high.

Even though she will be injured, there will be no time for love and play, but the unyielding Miss Asami makes Madoka admire her very much.

"I'm not someone worth admiring."

"I'm just forcing myself to put on a show. Even if I'm afraid and sad, I have no one to talk to, so I can only cry alone."

"Magical girls are not a good job."

The admiration of the younger generation made Tomoe Mami reveal her true feelings.

She seems to take everything in stride, but is very fragile on the inside.

A person will also be afraid when facing a witch and want to talk to someone and find a companion.

"Asami-sama is not alone anymore."

"Yes, it is true..." Tomoe Mami turned back, held Madoka's hands tightly, with tears in her eyes, "Can you really fight with me from now on? Can you always stay by my side?"

Expectation, desire, timidity, these are the emotions.

Madoka responded to the sentiment, "Yes, if I can."

Today, Tomoe Mami found the companion she wanted to have.

Her heart was filled with emotion.

The loneliness and panic of being alone all this time disappeared.

"Let's fight quickly."

Facing the witch who was beginning to hatch, she transformed into a magical girl, with a real smile, dancing with fast steps, feeling the joy in her heart, and fighting as always.

"There's nothing to be afraid of anymore."

It's just different from before. Now she is fearless.

…

Xiao Lin looked at the comic and was stunned for a moment.

He was moved by Tomoe Asami's inner analysis.

It turns out that Tomoe Mami, who fights calmly, is also a fragile person. She forced herself to face the witch.

Today, Tomoe Mami has finally regained her life, has a companion, and has someone to rely on.

"Phew, congratulations, Asami, you must be happy in the future."

Kobayashi, who liked Madoka's battle scenes the most, now likes drama in comics.

Akino Tori's portrayal of Tomoe Mami seeing hope and light made his heart warm and he fell in love with Tomoe Mami's character.

And I want to see Tomoe Mami's life after transformation.

definitely is……

"Be as happy as a magical girl."

…

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Akihisa shed tears, "Asami-san is so pitiful."

The squad leader behind him poked him, "Turn over quickly."

There was a faint roar outside the window, the clouds were gathering, and it was pitch black in broad daylight.

"Sorry, I'm so touched." Mingjiu rubbed his eyes, "Monitor!"

He was startled when he saw the person behind him.

"hurry up."

"oh……"

…

The witch finally hatched and was named "The Snack Witch".

Unexpectedly, this witch is as cute as a doll.

Even so, Tomoe Mami still wants to destroy her.

This time it went very smoothly. The witch was unable to fight back and was blasted into the sky.

"Final blow."

A huge gun appeared in Tomoe Mami's hand, and she used her special move.

The attack struck the witch and she was tightly bound with ribbons.

Akihisa didn't have time to be happy. On the next page, he saw the witch's head elongate and grow, and instantly stretched in front of Tomoe Asami.

Then...

Bite off Asami Tomoe's head.

"ah!"

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, deafening, and the world suddenly lit up.

Mingjiu was stunned.

The monitor was stunned.

One girl was so frightened by the lightning that she screamed, but neither of them responded.

Until the thunder fades and the world becomes dark.

The students started discussing it one after another.

"What a terrible thunder."

"I haven't heard such an exciting sound in many years."

"I'm most afraid of thunder."

Yuuji knew that Akihisa was afraid of thunder, so he was probably hiding under his desk and crying.

He quickly found Mingjiu, but found that Mingjiu didn't respond, and the expression on his face was very scary.

"Are you scared?" He shook Mingjiu's shoulders.

"Hey, squad leader, are you also afraid of thunder?" He asked the squad leader who was sweating next to him.

"How could this happen?" The squad leader pulled him away and quickly picked up the jump to look at.

The ribbon that bound Xiao Meiyan dissipated, and finally flowed like blood in the palm of Xiao Meiyan's hand.

Sayaka and Madoka were frightened and trembling as they watched the witch eat Tomoe Mami's body.

"So... Tomoe Mami is really dead."

The monitor put down the jump weakly.

That elegant, reliable but fragile girl died after a moment of friendship.

"No!" Akihisa reacted and flipped the jump violently, hoping to see the twist, "This is a magical girl manga!"

But later, Xiao Meiyan killed the snack witch.

Tomoe Mami's coffee cup shattered, the coffee spilled out and became as thick as blood, and the soul gem became dull.

This image tells Akihisa that Tomoe Mami is indeed dead.

The manga ends with Madoka and Sayaka crying bitterly.

Just like Mingjiu now.

He could no longer hold the jump, and the comic fell to the ground with a "clack" sound.

"Hey! What's going on with you two?" Yuuji was curious and leaned over to pick up the jump.

"Asami... Asami-san is dead." Akihisa's throat was dry and he forced out his voice to answer.

"Eh! Really?" Yuuji's eyes lit up and he became interested in "Puella Magi Madoka Magica". "A magical girl actually died, so I have to take a closer look!"

His curiosity is clearly revealed.

…

When the friend found Xiao Lin, he was leaning against the window, blowing the wind sadly.

The usually sunny and happy boy has now become melancholic.

Those eyebrows are telling me that I am very sad now.

"Have you changed the route?" A friend patted him on the shoulder, "I'm just telling you, a sunny and cheerful persona is no longer flattering. Girls nowadays like men with stories. With you looking like this, you will definitely be able to find a girlfriend. "

Xiao Lin raised his head and looked at his friend with dull eyes, "Oh."

He didn't want to care about anything now.

Tragedy is the destruction of something valuable to you.

He had just fallen in love with Tomoe Asami, and he felt the girl's mood, happy for her, and joyful for her.

But at the next moment, Tomoe Mami died miserably within just one page of the manga.

It numbed him with pain.

…

"You know what? Tomoe Asami is dead."

"Who is Tomoe Asami?"

"Magical girl."

"Huh? Really? It's too hard to believe!"

The sixth episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" became extremely popular.

It seemed that within a day or two, the whole of Japan knew about it.

Shinbo Akihito, who was busy making "Magical Girl Nanoha", learned about this.

He specifically turned over Madoka and became interested, "Do you want to modify Nanoha's plot?"

When Araki Hirohiko looked at Madoka, he always felt that he looked very familiar, very similar to the same person's style.

The more popular a character is, the easier it is to die.

"Tori Akino is going too far. He doesn't care about the readers' feelings at all."

He shook his head violently, deeply condemning Tori Akino for the future.

Naoko Takeuchi, who also drew magical girls, raised her head and wanted to say something, but she got stuck because of too many words.

"This! This!" She became angry and waved her hands and feet to express to Togashi.

"What's wrong?" Togashi was confused.

"unacceptable!"

"She is simply the black sheep of the magical girl world!"

Because of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, the entire magical girl world has suffered a tarnished reputation.

I don’t know how many children are crying, and I don’t know how many readers are murderous.

"Where is the home of the old thief Tori Akino? Oh, I just gave him some specialties."

Hearing this, Yoshida Koji shook his head violently and quickly hung up the phone.

He looked around. His colleagues were all busy because readers were expressing their anger.

Phone calls came to the editorial office one after another, and normal work could not be carried out.

"Tori Akino-sensei is really too much." Aida Soichi said, "After so long of preparation, when all the readers were moved and happy for Tomoe Asami, he killed her the next moment."

"Yeah, yeah," Onishi Tsunehei leaned over and felt the same, "A few days ago, Sorachi-kun accused me in person, saying that his eyes were red from crying."

"I am the one who is most troubled," Yoshida approached them and spread his hands. "I have been worried about this plot for more than ten days."

"Alas." They sighed in unison.

"A few over there!" Bo Bo shouted angrily, "Stop being lazy and work quickly! Everyone else is too busy!"

"Yes!" The three of them quickly sat upright and listened to the readers' anger.

Sasaki remained motionless, this matter was like a breeze blowing on his face, he didn't care at all.

"Sasaki, come to my studio."

His immediate boss, Minister Torishima, called him.

Sasaki became troubled.

…

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you would dare to draw like this."

In Tori Akino Mirai's studio, Torishima Kazuhiko couldn't stop laughing.

For a veteran like him, he has never seen anything... Oh, he has never seen the senior sister turn around.

However, from the editor's perspective, Torishima Kazuhiko's feelings are naturally different from those of readers.

He clearly felt that this plot was well designed.

The death of a magical girl is a good gimmick and will definitely attract many readers to watch Madoka.

The person who came up with the idea of ​​pitting a dreamy magical girl against a dark and dark creature to start a novel plot is really a genius.

"The characters serve the plot," Hibiki Higashino said, "that's all."

"Yeah, that's right."

Some creators will separate their feelings for the characters and let the plot drive the character's ending.

For example, Liu Cixin, such as Araki Hirohiko.

This is a normal creative behavior.

"It's just..." Torishima Kazuhiko thought, not knowing how to speak.

Once upon a time, the talented bird Akino Mirai needed to draw gimmicks to attract readers?

His "Soul of Chess" and "Slam Dunk" both moved readers with youthful passion.

"Death Note" draws a tense and fast-paced mystery plot, and readers cannot bear to put it down.

Tori Akino has always been a proud cartoonist.

Now why... do we need to draw novel content?

This low-level behavior made Torishima Kazuhiko puzzled and sighed.

He contacted Sasaki yesterday just to know about this matter.

Genius fell? What a pity.

Especially this genius who has been his friend for many years.

"But what?" Dong Yexiang asked.

"Why did you draw it like this? Is it just to attract more people to see it?" Torishima Kazuhiko stared at Higashino Hibiki.

"Of course not." Higashikata replied flatly.

"What I want to draw is a unique comic. Although it is dark, it is also wonderful."
