I am the master of depressive comics

Chapter 2 The first step to becoming a cartoonist

Not long after the two talked, Kamiya Yuu said goodbye to her.

"Kamiya-san, after school tomorrow... remember to participate in club activities."

Kamiya Yuu heard a cold voice coming from behind him. It was Yukinoshita, the president of the company he was about to join.

Kamiya Yuu walked to the door and turned around, nodding in response.

Ten minutes later, Kamiya Yu parked his bicycle, opened the door and entered.

This is an old house that retains the style of the 1970s. There are only some necessary furniture inside, and otherwise there are empty rooms.

The room was empty, without a trace of fireworks. This is because he lives alone and his parents died when he was young, leaving only this old house and some compensation to Kamiya Yu.

Enter the room and change into home clothes in front of the mirror. The muscles on his body under his clothes were distinct, and many muscles continued to contract as he changed clothes.

It's hard to imagine that the gloomy Yuu Kamiya would have a good figure. It's conceivable that he doesn't lack exercise.

"It can't be wrong. What just happened is true."

Kamiya Yuu lay on the bed and whispered to himself. At the same time, the excellent works I had seen in my previous life came to mind.

When I came to this world, I did not travel through time but reincarnated. Most of his experiences from birth to now are engraved in his mind, giving him a clear understanding of the world and a sense of belonging to it.

The country I am in is called Sakurajima Country, and its geography and culture are the same as those in my previous life. If there is a difference, it is about ACG.

For example, the three major migrant comics from the previous life never existed here. In contrast, the comics industry has become boring and rigid. Most of them are mecha-type works, and other types are rarely seen.

In this case, the excellent works in my mind will make a huge splash in the ancient pool of the comics industry. Thinking of this, Kamiya Yuu smiled unconsciously on his face.

He took the convenient computer nearby, logged into Shueisha's official website, and clicked on one of the places.

"There is no limit on the subject matter of medium-length comics?"

Kamiya Yu muttered softly, while moving his right hand on the touch screen, he clicked on registration.

Although he already had an idea in his mind, Kamiya Yuu had not yet taken action.

Drawing comics is not easy. Simply speaking, it requires three steps.

1. Basics of painting

2. Editing and storyboarding abilities

3. The originality of comics.

In Kamiya Yu's previous life, he was a well-known cartoonist in the Dragon Kingdom. It is conceivable that to be famous in the Dragon Kingdom, which is heavily involved in convolutions, his comic skills are quite solid.

Although I still maintain the habit of drawing, the only tools at home are pencils and erasers. Now it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

"Forget it, let's go buy some painting tools tonight. I'll use them in the future anyway."

Kamiya Yuu relaxed his brows, thinking about the future in his mind, and gradually fell asleep.

The white light of the mobile phone shone on his face and he checked the time.

【20:00】

There was a sound in the abdomen, conveying his thoughts to Kamiya Yuu.

Kamiya Yujia was not far from the convenience store on the street, and it took about five minutes to reach his destination.

“Welcome”

The clerk at the counter said as usual, and Kamiya Yuu nodded and walked towards the bento beside him.

"550 Sakura Yuan? Not bad."

Yu Kamiya picked up the fried chicken bento and walked to the counter.

The clerk took the lunch box and scanned the code.

"I charge you 550 yuan. Do you need help heating it?"

The clerk smiled and asked softly.

"Sorry to trouble you"

With the heated lunch in his hand, Kamiya Yuu walked out.

“Looking forward to your next visit”

Kamiya Yuu didn't plan to go home now. He wanted to buy tools after eating outside without having to make an extra trip.

On the bench outside the convenience store, Yuu Kamiya put his lunch box on his lap and silently muttered: I'm starting.

The aroma of fried chicken filled his mouth, and it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It whetted his appetite, and he finished his dinner in a short time.

Thirty minutes later, Kamiya Yu returned home, carrying the painting tools he purchased.

"I didn't expect that in Sakurajima Country, the price of art supplies is quite high."

Place the plastic bag on the table and lay out the tools one by one.

There is still one week left before Shueisha's Newcomer Awards call for submissions ends, and the first three chapters need to be submitted for submission and review. Shueisha's editors will select the best works from a large number of works, so that the authors can get the opportunity to be published.

For Kamiya Yu, there is no way his work will be rejected, he firmly believes it.

Kamiya Yuu already has a rough idea in mind about the work he wants to create next.

【Octopus Pi's Original Sin】

This is a comic serialized on "Shounen Jump+" in a previous life. Once this evil comic came out, it caused a strong response in the island country. Then it quickly spread around the world and became an excellent work after "Chainsaw Fire Fist".

The comic mainly tells the story that in 2016, the octopus alien "Octopus" from the "Happy Planet" came to Earth in order to spread happiness throughout the universe, and met Shizuka Kuze, a fourth-grade elementary school student.

After that, Octopus Pi witnessed the psychological distortions and misfortunes of one child after another, and tried to change this situation so that they could be happy...

The content of the story is "healing" and "loving", making people emotionally ups and downs.

Of course, this kind of evil comics is completely different in Sakurajima at that time, and has nothing to do with the popular hot-blooded comics in the local area. But for Kamiya Yu, if he wants to succeed, he must find another way and open up a "healing road" that belongs to him.

Kamiya Yu at the table is ready to start writing now. At least he has to get the color of the first page out first. The remaining black and white paintings will be solved at school, just in time for club activities.

The pencil keeps sketching on the manuscript paper in front of him, and he stops the pencil from time to time and gently wipes the manuscript. Soon a half-length little girl appears on the paper. Now it is just a character sketch, and it still needs to be processed.

Switch to a fountain pen and re-outline the character. Under the girl's short black hair, one eye is slightly closed, with bruises at the corner of the eye, revealing a pitiful expression, and tears keep flowing from both eyes.

"Well, it's not much different from the original. It seems that my skills have not regressed."

Kamiya Yu's hands are constantly moving, constantly coloring the draft.

Time flies, and when Kamiya Yu stops writing, it is already eleven o'clock in the evening. Looking at the cover that he spent two hours making, he nodded with satisfaction.

Hang the manuscript in a ventilated place and let it dry naturally, so that the watercolor can dry faster and the color will be brighter. Of course, the subsequent black and white manuscripts will not need such trouble.

"That's it, I'm a little tired."

After putting away the painting tools, Kamiya Yu stood up and stretched, covering his mouth with his right hand and talking to himself in a tired tone. Put on pajamas, lie on the bed, and keep daydreaming about the future in my mind.

"Sure enough, I still have to take the healing route!"

Kamiya Yu's lips moved slightly, and soon he fell asleep.
