Full-time cartoonist

After obtaining the consent of his roommate, Hibiki purchased three work tables, occupying half of the living room.

But this is only a temporary measure.

"Takagi-senpai is about to graduate. If there is a new roommate and he doesn't agree, it will be very troublesome. You will still have to rent another studio."

There is no residential area near Enuhiko High School, and the space is occupied by Musashino Art University.

If he wants to rent a house, he has to live 7 kilometers away.

Coupled with the commute to and from school, it really takes up a lot of time.

"It would be great if a female classmate with a beautiful heart and a kind heart moves in."

After school in the afternoon, Higashino Hibiki returned to "Yoshiharaso" and saw a black luxury car at the door.

He was a little curious, but he didn't ask and went straight into the living room.

Everyone else went out, Akimiya Akemi also said she had work.

Higashino Hibiki thought he was alone, but he didn't expect to see Akimiya Akemi and Asahina Yuko in the living room.

"Higashino-kun, welcome back." Asahina Yuko tilted her head and the corners of her mouth twitched.

Higashikata looked at her helplessly, "What's your expression?"

"I want to laugh..." She blinked aggrievedly.

"Don't force yourself," Hibiya Hibiki looked at the three work tables and then at Akimiya Akemi, "Asahina-san is here?"

"Asahina-san is preparing to move into Yoshihara-so," Akimiya Akemi explained.

"Why?" Higashino Hibiki looked at Asahina Yuko and asked, "You always have someone to pick you up and drop you off. There is no need to live in a dormitory."

Higashino Hibiki discovered that she seemed to be a eldest lady as well.

He is usually quiet, but the clothes he wears are expensive.

However, the proportion of children from wealthy families who study art should be larger.

This is also very normal.

Children from ordinary families like Hibiki Higashino can come to Yan Yan High School's art class because he has an enlightened father and extraordinary talent.

Among the art students he knew, except for him and Minami Chiharu, the others were at worst in the middle class.

Asahina Yuko didn't explain, but said calmly: "I don't mind if you occupy the living room."

"Welcome, Asahina-kun!"

Dong Yexiang stepped forward and shook her hand.

What a timely rain Yuko!

After seeing the dormitory, Asahina Yuko carried her schoolbag and walked out of the house.

With her long hair swaying, she waved her hand, not taking away a single cloud.

"Bye-Bye!"

Today Higashino Hibiki is particularly enthusiastic.

Entering the living room, he looked at Akimiya Akemi, who was waiting with her arms folded, and raised an eyebrow, "The same thing today?"

"Let's get started." Akimiya Akemi was a little impatient.

"Uh-huh."

Higashino Hibiki returned to the main seat of the work table and opened the drawn storyboard.

"The long-lost time to draw comics is back!"

Just as the passion was ignited, there was another knock on the door. It was the arcade machine that had arrived.

…

"Teacher Akimiya."

"Hmm? Teacher Toriakino, what's the matter?"

"Do you know Teacher Chai Menwen?"

"Of course." Akimiya Akemi nodded, "I have attended her book signing event before, and it is said that the "White Paper of Love" signing event will be held at the Mandarake Ikebukuro branch next weekend."

"Is it the movie that was released in October last year? It turned out to be adapted from Mr. Shibamon Fumi's manga," Hibiki Higashino was shocked, "It's really amazing."

"A very successful and enviable cartoonist." Akimiya Akemi put down her g pen, held her chin with one hand, and began to fantasize, "I really hope that one day I can draw such delicate cartoons."

Dong Yexiang looked at her and sighed, "Just think about it."

After seeing her comic creations, Hibiki Higashino shook his head.

AI is really more interesting than her drawings.

He was ready to go to a book signing for the autograph his mother asked for.

It shouldn't be a problem to go to the book signing of "White Paper of Love" with a single copy of "Tokyo Love Story", right? They are all their own works.

"Miss Akimiya, can you go on a date with me next weekend?"

Akimiya Minmei was stunned, "Why?"

"Relive the time when we first met," Hibiki Higashino said: "At Teacher Toriyama's house, we often went on dates in Nagoya City. When we arrived in Tokyo, we never went shopping again."

"Of course, there's a small thing. I'll go to Teacher Chai Menwen's autograph session to get an autograph."

Akimiya Akemi squinted her eyes and suddenly realized, "It turns out it's to get an autograph. Okay, I'll go with you. Talk about dates and relationships. It really made me nervous for nothing."

Higashino Hibiki smiled and said, "I was discovered by you. You are so smart, Miss Akimiya."

"Humph, of course." She wrinkled her nose proudly.

After lowering his head and painting for a while, Dongye's cell phone rang.

It's Sasaki.

Higashikata looked at the time, it was five o'clock in the afternoon.

"Is it that one?" Akimiya Akemi said.

"Probably." Dong Yexiang nodded.

He was a little nervous, it was the first step for his work to produce results.

"Weekly Shōnen Jump" will conduct a quick report survey on Tuesday, extracting performance data from 100 readers' questionnaires.

The accuracy is not high and does not determine the performance of the work. It just understands the general popularity one step ahead so that the comic can be adjusted quickly.

The one who really determines the results has to be Xiao Zheng.

Now, Sasaki is here to inform you of the quick results.

"It's third place." He concluded concisely and concisely.

Higashi Hibiki's pupils shrank, "Is it just third place?"

He had heard from his seniors that the first chapter of a new work performed very well, firstly because there was a lot of content in the series, and secondly because readers were more curious, would take a look, and were more tolerant.

Unexpectedly, "Chess Soul" only ranked third, which is already very poor.

"After all, the current jump is the highest jump in history." Sasaki said calmly, ""Dragon Ball", "Yu Yu Hakusho", "The Arrival of the Son"... It is very strong for a newcomer to get third place."

"Well, thank you, Editor Sasaki." Hibiki Hibiki hung up the phone.

He knows the results of "Chess Soul".

It shouldn't be third.

As long as the later results come out, that will be fine.

"Third?" Akimiya Mingmei glanced at him carefully, and when Higashino nodded, she cautiously comforted him: "This is already a very good result, and it's just a quick report."

"Miss Akimiya, thank you," Higashino Hibiki said with a smile, "but has anyone told you that you are bad at comforting others?"

"No way!" She was dissatisfied.

Hibiki Higashino said: "But I am still very happy now, and I don't care if I am only third."

Just wait until the later stage to exert force.

The time came on Friday, and at the same time, Sasaki called again.

He said disappointedly: ""Dragon Ball" is still too strong, alas."

Dongye Xiang's heart sank: "How to say it."

"Only second place." Sasaki said with a smile.

Hibiki Higashikata was stunned, "Isn't this better than reporting results quickly?"

Sasaki, "I thought I would be the first place, but it's a pity that I was only missing by more than 20 votes."
