Full-time cartoonist

Yoshii Sanhisa didn't recognize Higashino Hibiki who had changed his hairstyle.

He pedaled his bicycle and disappeared in a flash.

Higashino Hibiki returned to "Yoshiharaso" with his worries.

After Takagi-senpai graduated, Asahina Yuko moved to "Yoshihara-so" for the new semester. At this time, she was sitting on the sofa drinking afternoon tea.

Apart from meal time, this was the first time Higashino Hibiki saw her sitting in the living room.

She is usually as withdrawn as she is in school. I really don't know why she came to "Yoshihara-so".

"Higashino-kun, good afternoon."

She pinched Teacup's ears and said expressionlessly.

"Good afternoon, Asahina-san." Hibiki passed by her and couldn't help but sigh when he saw the ink stains on her green-white fingers.

"Miss, you work very hard too."

Then he hurried upstairs to find Akimiya Akemi to discuss the matter of Yoshii Sankyu.

But he didn't notice that Asahina behind him stretched out his hand, wanting to say something, but in the end he pursed his lips and said nothing.

…

At 12 o'clock in the evening, Yoshii Sanjiu walked into the dormitory with his sore waist.

But at this time, the light in the living room was still on, which made him very curious.

"Yoshii-kun, please come here."

He heard the voice of life teacher Akimiya Akemi.

Akimiya Akemi sat on her knees in the living room, pointing to the opposite side of herself.

Next to him is Hibiki Higashino.

"yes."

He was a little scared.

In such a serious scene, he walked to the opposite side of Akimiya Akemi, bowed, and sat down on his knees.

Akimiya Akemi asked: "What happened to you recently? Are you always coming back late? If you have any difficulties, I will help you."

"I..." Yoshii Sanjiu was a little confused and opened his mouth but did not say anything.

"Yoshii," Hibiki Higashino said, "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it. But if you want to vent, you might as well share it with us. It's not good to keep everything in your heart."

Yoshii Sanjiu was silent for a long time. After a while, he said: "Dad said that you can't let your friends worry about you. In fact..."

He told what had happened in the past six months.

Because of the economic bubble, the situation of bankers is even worse.

His father once mortgaged working capital in real estate. When the economic bubble occurred, houses and land became worthless, funds shrank, and the virtuous cycle was broken.

After struggling for a long time, it finally went bankrupt before last summer vacation.

"Grandpa helped me pay 1 billion yen, and now I still have 2 billion yen in debt," he said with a dull eyelid and a happy smile: "In the last free time, dad He spent the happiest summer vacation with me, and then went to work in my grandpa’s company to find ways to make money.”

"At the end of last year, when he gave me the tuition for the new year, he finally told me the truth. I wanted to relieve my father's burden and bear the future expenses myself."

After listening to Akimiya Akemi, she was at a loss as to what to do.

After thinking hard, she shook her head helplessly and said with an apologetic expression, "Yoshii-kun, you are such a sensible and good child."

"Thank you, Teacher Akimiya." Yoshii Sankyu said indifferently, "I feel much better after I said it."

Higashino Hibiki sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Mr. Yoshii will definitely be able to make a comeback."

"Yeah! I believe Dad."

"But before that," Hibiki Higashino said, "come be my assistant first. It's better than working odd jobs."

"Won't I trouble you?" Yoshii Sanjiu said embarrassedly.

It was precisely because of this that he kept silent. I hope our relationship will remain friends and not be affected by financial interests.

"Actually, it helped a lot," Hibiki Higashino told him about Akira Toriyama's predicament. A weekly cartoonist couldn't do it without an assistant. How could one person serialize to death from exhaustion?

"No one else but you, please!"

Yoshiiyama was moved for a long time and was about to agree:

Minami Chiharu pushed open the door and walked in. Hearing Higashino Hibiki's words, she curiously asked: "What is it that no one else can do except him?"

Hibiki blinked and looked at her, feeling like he was slapped in the face.

Minami Chiharu looked at Higashi Hibiki inexplicably. She rolled up her sleeves and said with a smile: "If you need help, just ask!"

Dong Yexiang was speechless and covered his face.

With the consent of Yoshii Sanjiu, Minami Chiharu also learned about his current situation.

"Wow, wow, how pitiful...wait a minute," Minami Chiharu restrained her pity and said with a straight face, "Think about it carefully, it's almost the same situation as mine."

I work every day to earn living expenses, and part of the money is used to support my family.

Come and go in the wind and rain.

"I'm used to working part-time, so Yoshii-kun should be Higashino's assistant." Minami Chiharu said calmly.

Yoshii Sanjiu was very confused.

"Don't let down our good intentions," Hibiki Higashikata patted him on the shoulder, "It's up to you."

"...Yes." Yoshiiyama burst into tears with tears in his eyes.

…

The next day, Sunday, Sasaki came to "Yoshiharaso".

Higashino Hibiki thought he was here to deliver a sample magazine, but he didn't expect that he had a lot to say.

"First of all, issue No. 23 will have the front page of "Soul of Chess"." He picked up the notebook and read out the first item.

"Color page!" Hibiki Higashikata was very excited.

This is the cover of Jump magazine!

He had seen Kakarot, Urameshi Yusuke, Ryotsu Kankichi, Kujo Jotaro on the cover...

Now, Shindo Hikaru can stand in that position!

Anyone who sees Jump will see the cover character at first glance, which is a very good benefit.

And it means that "Works" has been recognized by the editorial department.

In short, there are many benefits.

He finally took another step forward in the serialization of comics.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Sasaki!"

Higashikata stood up and bowed.

"This is the editor-in-chief's choice." Sasaki motioned for him to sit down. "There is also a second item, regarding the animation of "Soul of the Game"."

"Huh?" Dong Yexiang suspected that he heard wrongly.

How long has it been? "Dragon Ball" was serialized in 1984 and animated in 1986.

He has already started serializing the comic into the second half before starting the animation project.

He didn't expect it to be so fast. Except for "Sailor Moon" a few years later, as far as he knew, there was no one faster than "Ghost".

"Why?" The first thing he felt was not surprise, but confusion.

Unbelievable.

"It was an application from the Clown Club. They have collaborated with Jump many times. They were responsible for the animation of "Yu Yu Hakusho"," Sasaki continued.

The animation "Yu Yu Hakusho" is very exciting, it is above the standard and there is no problem.

Dong Yexiang nodded and listened to him continue.

“The editorial department was surprised at first, but after asking, they learned that the Chess Academy paid most of the expenses. "
