Hong Kong Comic Master

"Hi, Fujiko, grandson An, long time no see!"

"Hey, who do I think it is? It turns out to be President Akatsuka!"

A dilapidated two-story wooden apartment was built less than thirty years ago. Recently, there have been frequent rumors that the apartment will be demolished.

But such an ordinary apartment was packed with people today.

Because this humble, dilapidated apartment, called Tokiwaso Apartment, is a holy place in the neon comics world, but not everyone can be a tenant here. Three conditions need to be met:

1. Obtained excellent results in the column "Comic Address Book" of "Cartoon Boy\

,"2. Have a friendly personality and solid basic comic skills,

3. Have a strong will to become a cartoonist.

Under such strict pre-examination, those who can actually live in Tokiwa-so have the basic conditions to shine in the future. In other words, it is not accidental that Tokiwa-so has become a manga holy land. To a certain extent, it has become a place for those who have the ability. A business incubator for young cartoonists.

The three people chatting in the living room at this time are naturally famous cartoonists. Among them, two people named Fujiko Fujikuma and Ansuko Sokuma share the same pen name, Fujiko Fujikuma.

From elementary school classmates, to working together to draw comics, and then using a pen name for more than 20 years, creating neon national comics like "Doraemon". It is said that the comics will be adapted into animation this year.

It can be said that the two of them are both successful and famous, and their story has already become a legend.

As for another man named Akatsuka Fujio, he is also a well-known cartoonist. He has drawn works such as "Osomatsu" and "Genius Idiot". Now he has opened his own company called Akatsuka Productions.

There are many rooms in the apartment, most of which are tatami mats, so the three of them sat on the floor without caring about their appearance.

"That guy Tsunoda rarely does a good thing and invites us to come to Tokiwaso Apartment to celebrate the New Year, but he comes so late?"

"Yes, yes, it is indeed abominable to keep the Akatsuka Club waiting for so long, but why is Tsunoda the president now!"

"Anzizi, if you say that again, be careful I'll beat you up!"

The three of them have a very good relationship and are regarded as Osamu Tezuka's core students. They have also established the "New Comic Party", so it is not too much to tease each other.

"Who are you going to beat?"

Just as they were talking, several people saw Tsunoda walking up the stairs carrying a large box.

"This guy is late!"

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, it's because I have to pick up the teacher!"

"Is the teacher here?"

When Tezuka Osamu was mentioned, the three of them immediately stood up at the same time. It was obvious that they all respected the teacher.

But in fact, they go far beyond just respect, they can be called crazy fans of Osamu Tezuka!

"Uh, by the way, can you help me lift it?"

Tsunoda was almost exhausted from carrying the cartons, but there was no sign of any action from the three of them. They were just discussing the teacher.

Are you all blind?

"Come on!"

"That's right, Tsunoda!"

However, even if Tsunoda said this, the three of them remained indifferent.

In desperation, Tsunoda gritted his teeth and exerted more force, finally finishing the last few steps.

With a "bang", the carton was placed on the table, making a heavy sound.

"What are you holding here?"

Seeing Tsunoda struggling to carry this box of things upstairs, Fujiko Fujikuma said in confusion.

"It's a comic!"

Just then, a familiar voice came from the stairs.

The three of them looked back and found that it was Osamu Tezuka.

"teacher!"

"Long time no see!"

Osamu Tezuka, wearing a gray painter's hat and a black coat, looked at several of his disciples and waved greetings.

However, these few people were not so reserved, and they all stepped forward to hug Osamu Tezuka.

Upon hearing Osamu Tezuka's arrival, the cartoonists in other rooms also walked out of the room. A rough count showed that there were more than a dozen people!

Soon, these people were all crowded into a room the size of four and a half tatami mats in the innermost room.

Osamu Tezuka sat at the top, while the other cartoonists sat in a circle around Tezuka Osamu.

"I just ordered lunch at Songye, so we don't have to eat salt-fried cabbage today!"

"Hahaha……"

Osamu Tezuka's words made all the cartoonists burst into laughter.

The so-called salt-fried cabbage is their Tokiwa-so's "famous product". Since they were busy at work and no one was good at cooking, this dish became everyone's nightmare.

As for Songye, it was a Chinese restaurant near them that saved their lives.

"Speaking of Chinese cuisine, Tsunoda recently gave me a comic book, which is actually about Chinese cuisine. I learned a lot!"

"Isn't it right here?"

Fujiko Fujikuma pointed at the large cardboard box in front of him.

"Inside, but let's not talk about that comic today, but another one!"

As he spoke, Tezuka Osamu winked at Tsunoda, who immediately understood and opened the carton, took out a copy of "The God of Death" and handed it to Tezuka Osamu.

"I took the time to read this comic in the past two days. I was greatly inspired and learned a lot from it, so I will take advantage of this year's party to show it to you!"

Osamu Tezuka's words were undoubtedly a bit shocking to the cartoonists below.

Who are all here?

They are all founders and pioneers of various fields of Japanese comics, and they are all bigwigs.

But now, they have to sit together and study comics like a group of students, and maybe even write reviews. What is this?

Just as everyone looked at each other, Fujiko Fujikuma and Abiko Mokuma took the lead and took a single volume of "Bleach" from the cardboard box and started reading.

When the others saw the two taking the lead, they also came forward to take the comic books without saying anything more.

In addition to leaving one set for himself and one set for Tezuka Osamu, Kakuda took all the remaining three sets of comic books that Li Wannian sent to him.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so heavy!

Not long after, the room, which was originally a little noisy, was left with only the sound of flipping books and sighs.

"Have you all finished reading?"

After about ten minutes, Tezuka Osamu saw that everyone had read almost everything, so he asked everyone.

"It's a very interesting comic!"

"The style is very unique, and the pictures are very clean!"

"But the plot is very ordinary, just fighting monsters!"

"Ishimori, you only read the first part, right?"

Ishimori Zhangtaro only read the second volume, and mistakenly thought that the comic was like this, but he didn't know what happened in the later part, and was laughed at by Terada Hirokuma.

Although Ishimori Zhangtaro is now successful and famous, and Terada Hirokuma has long stopped writing and is not well-known, Ishimori Zhangtaro is still very polite in front of Terada Hirokuma.

This is because Terada Hirokuma is the eldest brother of their small group and the founder of their "New Comics Party".

"Hahaha..."

Terada Hirokuma's words caused everyone to laugh. Then, he asked again: "Teacher, who is this author? Long live, why haven't I heard of it?"

"He is..."

"Who ordered the takeaway?"

At this time, the voice from downstairs interrupted Tezuka Osamu's words.

"Gurgle..."

"Hahaha..."

Just at this time, someone's stomach growled downstairs.

"Forget it, let's eat and talk at the same time!"
