Hong Kong Comic Master

For geniuses, talent is like the belly of a pregnant woman in her eighth month of pregnancy, which cannot be hidden!

Hojo Temple is undoubtedly such a genius.

Hojo Temple was born in Kokura City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. His father worked in the construction industry, his mother was a housewife, and he had an older brother at home, so he did not receive professional painting training since he was a child.

At most, he was influenced by his brother's love of painting, and there were really few toys at home when he was a child, so Hojo Temple often painted his hands in front of the mirror.

In his youth, he did not come into contact with too many story comics, but preferred realistic dramas.

However, this is still not Hojo Temple's biggest hobby.

After entering junior high school, Hojo Temple loved reading science fiction novels and was addicted to them.

Even until now, Hojo Temple still likes science fiction, which is why he likes to watch Li Wannian's "Gundam".

When he was 15 years old, Hojo Temple drew the science fiction work "Universe" in his notebook. Who would have thought that this comic work, which is as good as the works serialized in magazines in the 1970s, was actually a middle school student's exercise to relieve boredom.

After entering high school, Hojo Temple joined the comics club for the purpose of making friends. In the process of interacting with the members of the club, he also passively learned a lot of comics knowledge.

After entering university, he did not have any theoretical knowledge at first, so his professional ability was the worst among his classmates, but with his proud talent, he successfully reached the artistic level of a professional designer in just a few years, which made other students look at him with admiration and far behind.

This is why everyone is willing to listen to Hojo Temple, because everyone is impressed by this guy's talent.

However, until today, Hojo Temple finally saw someone who was more talented than himself. In front of him, he was just a frog in the well!

"17 years old this year? This comic was drawn by him when he was 16?"

Looking at the introduction of Mansai in the magazine, Hojo Temple was dumbfounded.

Looking at the magazine in his hand, it says that Bansei debuted at the age of 13, and has serialized seven comics so far, and even now, there are still six comics being serialized.

Although the comics he really wrote are only "Dragon Ball" and "Parasyte".

"Hey? Do you want to buy this magazine?"

The words of the newsstand owner finally made Hojo Temple sober up.

"Buy, I'll buy it!"

Then, Hojo Temple quickly bought the latest issue of "Champion" and walked towards the dormitory.

The school is about to have summer vacation. In the past few days, Hojo Temple, apart from taking exams, has been staying in the dormitory, reading the comic books of Bansei bought by his roommate.

Compared with other roommates who like "Bleach", Hojo Temple prefers "Gundam", after all, he has been a science fiction fan since he was a child.

Looking at these various comics, Hojo Temple always thought that Bansei should be in his forties or fifties, until today on the way to school, he accidentally found that the newsstand was selling the latest issue of "Champion", and Hojo Temple bought it.

As a result, seeing the introduction of Manzai in this issue really shocked Hojoji.

Recalling that when he was 17 years old, he showed the remake of "Universe" to his friends in the comics club, and they said bluntly that "if he doesn't become a cartoonist in the future, it would be a waste of talent."

He was very proud at the time, thinking that being a cartoonist was not a problem for him at all.

However, it was obvious that he found out that when he was complacent, he had published many comics at the age of 17, and they were also serialized in "Champion".

Compared with this Manzai, he is really nothing!

Rushed back to the dormitory and found no one. Hojoji saw this and also turned into a desktop cleaning master. He slapped the garbage on the table and cleaned it up, and then took out his own drawing equipment!

After reading the introduction of Manzai, Hojoji had an impulse in his heart, that is, he wanted to draw comics.

He was 2 0 years old, three years older than Bansui. Compared with the already famous Bansui, he has achieved nothing and is far behind.

Therefore, he suddenly had an impulse in his heart, that is, he wanted to use a comic to prove himself, and his colleagues also wanted to really see how big the gap between him and Bansui was?

Facing the blank manuscript paper, Hojo Temple's pen was like a god, holding the pen and writing on the drawing paper. After the pen tip passed through the paper, it left a line, and soon a human figure appeared.

Because he was deeply impressed by "Gundam", the comics he conceived were unconsciously influenced by "Gundam", and his comics also had to be sci-fi style!

Hojo Temple didn't know how long he had been drawing in the dormitory, and he didn't even feel when the sun hanging high in the sky set.

"Click! "

It was not until his roommate Oda came back that he was surprised to find that Hojo Temple was actually drawing comics in the dormitory.

Although he had been roommates with Hojo Temple for two years, Oda only knew that Hojo Temple had great painting skills, but had never seen Hojo Temple drawing comics.

"What are you doing?"

Faced with Oda's questions, Hojo Temple still turned a deaf ear and concentrated on drawing.

Seeing this, Oda did not dare to continue talking to Hojo Temple, but came to Hojo Temple's side, picked up the comic manuscript on the table and started reading.

""Space Angel", it's actually a science fiction comic? Why didn't you draw NAME?"

The NAME mentioned here does not mean "name or title", but refers to the "storyboard" of comics. The NAME of comics Before officially drawing a work, the cartoonist must first conceive the story of the work. In addition to writing down the plot in words, he also needs to describe the shots with sketches according to the plot development. This is the storyboard script, which is called "NAME" in comics terminology.

After all, Oda has also studied painting and likes comics, so he is very proficient in the production process of comics.

Compared with academics like Oda, Hojo Temple is undoubtedly a wild person. Not to mention learning to draw comics, even learning to draw is a wild way.

Therefore, he is passionate about creation and draws whatever he thinks of. How can he understand "NAME"?

However, although the comics do not follow the strict drawing process, when Oda started to read Hojo Temple's comics, he was amazed.

Is this what he drew? He, a lazy person, can also draw comics? And he draws so well?

I have to say that Hojo Temple really compared with the wrong person.

In the world of ordinary people, he is really a genius, but why does he have to compete with Li Wannian who has cheats? Isn't this courting death?

"Ah!"

Just as Oda was fascinated, Hojo Temple finally put down the pen in his hand, and stretched his back with a sore waist.

"Huh? Oda, when did you come back?"

The focused Hojo Temple didn't notice when Oda came back.

"Hojo Temple, your comics are so great!"

"Thank... Thank you!"

Hojo Temple didn't expect that Oda would praise him right away.

Oh my god, Oda can also praise people!

"Do you need me to help you submit to "Jump"?"

"Submit? What submission?"

"The "Tezuka Award"!"

"Oh, I almost forgot, the selection of the second half of the Tezuka Award is about to start!"

Hojo Temple suddenly realized.

"Then it's settled. I'll submit my work for you!"

"Wait!"

Just when Oda was excitedly holding the original drawing, Hojo Temple stopped him.

"Anything else?"

"Why don't you submit to "Jump" instead of "Champion"!"

"Submit to "Champion"?"

"Yes! Submit to "Champion"!"

The words "Long live" flashed through Hojo Temple's mind at this moment, and he couldn't help but become more determined in his mind.
