Full-time cartoonist

Yoshida Koji was confused and Sasaki couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and woke him up.

"I'm so surprised," Yoshida explained. "The performance of "Madoka" this time actually surpassed "One Piece" and won the first place. It's really unbelievable to me."

A magical girl manga, with no battle scenes, describes the grief and reflection brought to the companions after the death of the character. The result actually surpassed "Bleach", "Naruto", and "One Piece" and reached the top, which shocked Yoshida. untie.

Sasaki nodded silently. This was indeed a miracle. He was stunned for a while when he saw the results.

"The data is not wrong," Sasaki told Yoshida, "it was Tori Akino-sensei's huge influence that caused it."

"He has been serializing for ten years and has created many excellent works. There are many readers who like his works, even as much as Mr. Toriyama. Now because of the increasing popularity of "Madoka", many readers have returned to read this comic. to one hundred thousand people.”

Of course, this has something to do with the wonderful plot and delicate emotions of "Madoka".

Without attractive works, even if readers come, they won’t be able to stay.

They may watch it once, reminisce about their youth, and then put it down.

"I understand." Koji Yoshida thought thoughtfully. If he were not an editor and suddenly heard this news, he would be curious and buy jump to take a look.

After all, it is an alternative work by Tori Akino-sensei, whom he has liked for many years.

"Continue working." Sasaki patted his shoulder and walked aside.

"Yes, editor-in-chief." Koji Yoshida bowed.

After Onishi Tsunehei hung up the call with Hideaki Sorachi, he glanced at Koji Yoshida and entered working mode.

"What good luck, Yoshida-kun."

…

"Toriakino-sensei is the first this time."

Oda was slightly surprised when he learned the ranking of Komasa notified by editor Touda.

"It's unimaginable."

He originally thought that Tori Akino's final work would be very mediocre.

After all, a cartoonist who has given up will forget his skills and stop trying to please readers. Even if the pace is slow and the plot is boring, it doesn't matter.

They will create whatever they want, and the final result may only be liked by them.

Oda even shed tears at the thought of never seeing Tori Akino's future work again.

Now he understood that Tori Akino was still restraining himself.

"Puella Magi Madoka Magica" is not a mediocre work as he considers it to be. It is a mainstay that can be put on Jump and is not inferior to other comics.

"Let's go all out!"

Oda is already thinking about the next plot in his mind.

That was the City of Seven Waters, the turning point and the place where the Straw Hat Pirates grew up.

…

Masashi Kishimoto is very proud now. Although it is not as good as "One Piece" in Japan, "Naruto" is like "Dragon Ball", leading Jump to conquer cities overseas.

This is an advantage that "One Piece" does not have.

On Jump, "Naruto" is also becoming more and more popular. Kishimoto feels that no matter what he does, he will surpass Oda next year and become the first pillar of Jump.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.

In the current jump, Toriyama Akira has retired, Togashi Yoshihiro is half dead, Kubo is still far from leading others, and the only heroes in the world are Oda and him.

As long as he defeats Oda, he can inherit his teacher's legacy.

ah? The teacher is not dead yet, so that’s okay.

"Continue drawing comics." Kishimoto sat down and started working.

"Teacher, Editor Yahagi has just arrived." The assistant reminded him.

"Eh?"

"He saw that you were in a daze and thought you were thinking about the storyboard of "Naruto", so he didn't bother you. Teacher, have you thought of an interesting plot?"

"No...that's right!" After hesitation, Kishimoto nodded firmly, "Mr. Yahagi, what's the matter with you?"

"As expected of you, teacher," the assistant looked at him with admiration, and continued, "Today is Friday, Jump-chan's results are out, and "Naruto" is in third place."

"Third place," Kishimoto was actually a little dissatisfied, "Who are the other two works? There are no new comics serialized recently."

"One Piece by Mr. Oda..."

"Tsk, Oda is number one again, damn it." Kishimoto, the ten thousand year old man, was indignant.

"No," the assistant explained, "One Piece came in second this time."

"Then who's number one?" Kishimoto was surprised.

"It's "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" by Tori Akino-sensei."

"Ah?" Kishimoto was shocked, his mouth hanging open.

"'Madoka' is number one? How is that possible?"

The teacher who thought he had fallen flat caught up again, and Masashi Kishimoto was under great pressure.

…

On Friday afternoon, Koji Yoshida came to Tori Akino Studio to pick up the manuscript of the ninth episode of "Madoka".

Higashikata Higashikata was finally free again.

In the next three days, his job was to draw the storyboard for the tenth episode of "Madoka".

It was not difficult for him and he could even take two days to rest.

He has finally caught up with the work efficiency of jump civil servant Akimoto Haru.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Higashino's family sat together to eat. Higashino Mirai sat at the baby's dining table and ate his tasteless food.

"What has Mei been doing lately?" Hibiki finally thought of his sister.

Only she is not at home.

"Yes." Higashi Yexi blinked and looked at Higashino Ichiro, "What is Mei busy with?"

"I don't know." Higashino Ichiro said solemnly.

The three of them all focused on Akimiya Akemi.

"I...of course I don't know either." Qiugong Mingmei smiled coquettishly.

"Forget it, this is not important," Higashino Ichiro looked at the dining table, "Let's eat."

"Yeah." Dong Yexiang picked up the rice bowl and started eating.

"By the way, Mom," Higashikata asked Higashikata, "Why don't you do fish lately?"

He actually likes eating fish, which is challenging.

Higashino glanced at Higashino Ichiro and said, "Please explain."

"Don't say anything, eat!" Higashino Ichiro glared at Higashino Hibiki.

"Oh." Dongye Xiang roughly understood.

After finishing the meal, Akimiya Akemi and Higashino Shio were washing the dishes in the kitchen.

Higashino Ichiro teased the child twice, and when the child was about to cry, he naturally sat next to Higashino Hibiki.

"The town council has informed us that there will be a garbage clean-up event tomorrow morning. Let's all join in."

Higashino Hibiki's house is a high-end villa. There is a dedicated person responsible for daily sanitation and cleaning, which is different from ordinary families.

This kind of activity is more like parent-child education and resident exchanges, which are entirely voluntary.

"Okay." Hibiki replied absentmindedly. "The White Tower" was playing on the TV, which he recorded last year.

I will reflect on it when I have free time.

"Then it's agreed." Ichiro Higashino patted Hibiki's thigh and stood up.

"Okay... huh? What?" Dong Yexiang came back to his senses and looked at his father's back, not taking it to heart.

At dawn the next day, the tired Higashino Hibiki was woken up. He looked at the time and saw that it was only 5 o'clock, still an hour before he got up for a run.

Only he was woken up, Akimiya Akemi was still happily immersed in her sleep.

"How can you be so lethargic?" Higashino Ichiro frowned.

"How can you get up so early?" Higashikata rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at the bread and milk on the table. He was stunned for a moment, "Just eat this? It's dry."

"It's already very good." Ichiro Higashino picked up a piece of bread and chewed it with a straight face.

"Where's mom?" Normally, when Higashino Hibiki comes home from a run, he can have a happy breakfast that is delicious, tasty and delicious.

"She still wants to sleep."

"So? Only the two of us are going?" Higashikata put on a mask of pain.

…

Most people from the community have not yet come, and the organizers of the town association praised Higashinoya's dedication to actively participate in community activities.

The temperature was cool in the summer morning, and Hibiki Higashino felt refreshed. He asked, "Why is there suddenly a cleaning activity?"

“I don’t know who it was, but he was fishing in the nearby river and threw plastic bags everywhere.” The organizer complained, “I cursed him and there will be no harvest in the future.”

"Fishermen are like this," said Hibiki Higashikata, "throwing bait packages and smoked cigarettes around, and the beautiful scenery by the river is unbearable."

"Ahem," Higashino Ichiro coughed twice and looked around, "Let's start first."

He took away the plastic bags containing garbage, labor gloves, and sanitary forceps, and walked towards the river without looking back.

"Mr. Higashino is really warm-hearted." The organizer said with emotion.

"Yes," Higashi Hibiki nodded, "He has always been a person who gives silently."

…

Higashino Hibiki was shaking the plastic bag around for cleaning. Half an hour later, only half of the bag was filled.

"It's Tori Akino-sensei!"

He heard a child's exclamation.

"Xiaojian, good morning." Higashino Hibiki turned around to say hello, "You are also here to serve the community."

"The teacher said we need to do more social practice," said Ken Miyano. "I participate every time, but this is the first time I met Mr. Tori Akino. I'm really happy."

Hibiki Tono's smile fell.

This kid is talking nonsense.

Takeru Miyano was walking beside Hibiki Hibiki, busy as he knew how, and it didn't take long for the garbage he packed to exceed Hibiki's.

"Teacher," he looked at Higashino Hibiki's garbage bag and hesitated.

This aroused Dongye Hibiki's competitive spirit, and he worked hard.

Time passed unknowingly, the sun came out, Higashikata was sweating profusely, panting, and the garbage bag was bulging.

"How's it going?" He looked at Miyano Ken proudly.

He must be better than a child now.

Worship me well.

As a result, he saw Ken Miyano, who was drinking ice-cold Coke, neatly dressed, and had been slacking off.

"Teacher, you must be very tired," Ken Miyano, who was sitting and resting, stood up and said, "I feel even more sad when I watch "Madoka"."

He Shi Shiran walked past Dongye Xiang.

"Eh?" Higashikata looked at his dirty face in the mirror and understood, "Damn you brat!"

At the end of the activity at noon, the organizer looked at Higashino and his son who had "earned a lot" and said with emotion, "What a kind family."

Finally, Hibiki and Ichiro Higashino received a souvenir from the town council, which was a medal with the title Hygiene Champion on it.

In the end, Hibiki Higashino placed this medal next to the "Shogakukan Manga Award Trophy".

Among the many trophies, it occupies the c position.

…

"Madoka Magica", in the hospital, Sayaka comes to visit Kamijou Kyousuke.

Kamijou Kyousuke's hand injury was injured, and the doctor said it was completely impossible to cure it with existing medical technology.

When it became clear that he would never be able to play the violin again, Kamijou Kyousuke was completely desperate and gave up on himself, and even said some unpleasant words to Sayaka's kindness.

This made Sayaka determined to find the miracle of magic. Kyubey's silhouette appeared outside the window, which seemed particularly depressing.

"Sure enough, Sayaka will still become a magical girl." Ken Miyano thought while reading the manga.

He has watched magical girl anime and also likes Cardcaptor Sakura.

Every time Sakura transforms, he gets excited.

But now, the magical girl Sayaka appears, and he feels helpless in the face of fate.

"It's so sad to become a magical girl. Sayaka has embarked on a road of no return."

Unconsciously, Ken Miyano's concept of magical girls has changed.

She represents danger, the face of life and death.

Madoka's friend Hitomi Shizuki was affected by the witch. She lost her mind and committed suicide in the TV factory with a bunch of people.

Madoka bravely saves them.

"How brave," Ken Miyano said. "When a group of people were about to commit suicide, they threw away substances that would produce highly toxic gases. Even if Madoka is not a magical girl, she can still help others. She is a hero."

But because of this, Madoka was attacked by a witch.

The witch who appears this time is the Box Witch, with a cheerful and bright style.

She is a witch hidden inside a box that looks like a computer TV screen.

There are many dot-matrix style merry-go-rounds floating in the center of the witch barrier, rotating around small circles.

The painting style is strange and horrifying, making Miyano Ken shudder.

"What are these witches? What are their essences? They are so strange."

Witch is a vague concept, which is very different from other magical girl villains. It seems to symbolize something and has a deep meaning, but Miyano Ken can't understand it at all.

When Madoka was in danger, the magical girl Sayaka came. Wearing a robe and holding a long knife, she easily defeated the Box Witch and saved Madoka, Hitomi and the others.

Xiaomi Homura looked on, if Sayaka hadn't appeared, she would have killed the witch.

Thanks to a miracle, Kamijo Kyousuke's injured left hand was healed.

The magical girl who took over as Tomoe Mami has also arrived. She is a cute girl with tiger teeth, carefree and looks very powerful.

She was going to cause trouble for Sayaka, after all, Sayaka had robbed her of her territory.

"Here it comes, here it comes, the usual infighting among magical girls!"

Ken Miyano is looking forward to the follow-up content of "Madoka".

After reading it now, he found that this comic had ups and downs, the artistry was brilliant, and it was full of profound meaning. It was a very good work.

Make him curious and expectant.

Although it is not as good as "Death Note" now, the plot is still developing, and he believes that Tori Akino will not let him down in the future.

By the next Monday, Ken Miyano finally saw Jump.

"The next issue will be closed. I've been working too hard on community activities recently, so I don't have the energy to draw comics. I'm sorry."

He saw Tori Akino's words.
