I am the master of depressive comics

Chapter 53 Can two people with different personalities have a heart-to-heart relationship?

For example: In shoujo comics, cigarettes and beer should be avoided as much as possible.

In fact, I think cigarettes can be replaced with chocolate, and beer can be replaced with juice. Wouldn't it be very harmonious? But last time Mr. Jian knocked it down and repainted it, there was obviously no problem.

Thump~

"Sorry, what does cigarettes have to do with chocolate?"

Kamiya Yuu couldn't help it, so he complained and laughed out loud.

Seeing Kamiya Yu's expression, Nozaki Umetaro said with a dull expression and a firm tone: Even if it's a manga, it can't be illegal. After all, the law of Sakurajima Country stipulates that people under the age of 20 are not allowed to smoke.

Seeing the other party's serious explanation, Kamiya Yu laughed even louder, and responded while laughing.

"Nozaki-kun is right, but don't you think it would be awkward in the manga to replace the cigarettes with chocolate?"

Uh-huh~~

"That seems right. Sakura said the same thing before."

? ?

"It's the assistant who helped me paint it black. She's a good person."

Umetaro Nozaki, seeing that Yu Kamiya was a little confused, explained seriously.

In the manga industry of Sakurajima Kingdom, manga assistants are an essential profession. They can help manga artists provide convenience and inspiration.

Such as: shopping for groceries, doing chores, and providing advice to cartoonists. A series of comic steps such as tracing, coloring, and blackening. As for Kamiya Yuu, this guy is a personal printer that can produce papers very quickly. He is simply the spokesperson of the conscience of the industry.

[That’s really a good person! ] Kamiya Yuu thought sincerely.

"I heard that Kamiya-kun didn't hire an assistant?"

"I don't need to. One conversation a week is quite few for me."

Kamiya Yuu waved his hand and responded nonchalantly.

Cartoonist Assistant sounds pretty good. It is often said in the industry that Cartoonist Assistant is someone who can learn experience and skills from senior cartoonists. Even so, many of them are just laborers, with a daily salary of less than 10,000 yen. It sounds like a lot, but this is not fixed. Others can kick you away at any time if they no longer need you.

Umetaro Nozaki frowned and suggested seriously: Kamiya-kun, it will be too much for your body to work alone. If you express your needs to Mr. Ken, he will definitely help you find a good assistant.

"Nozaki-kun, do you also think Editor Miyamae is very good?"

"Of course, after all, that is the reliable Mr. Sword!"

Nozaki seemed to be thinking about something, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and he spoke in a deep voice.

Um

Yu Kamiya snorted softly, thinking of the serious attitude of editor Miyamae towards his work, and unconsciously nodded, agreeing with Nozaki Umetaro's idea.

For a period of time afterwards, the two exchanged their thoughts on comics. Although the two people's comic styles are very different, the two sides had a very pleasant conversation and allowed Kamiya Yu to gain a lot of style experience.

[Would it be better if the warm scene became dark and depressing? ]

Kamiya Yu thought this and communicated again.

"Nozaki-san, what comics do you think are heartwarming these days? After all, you draw girls' comics, so you should know these things better."

Hmm~

Umetaro Nozaki held his forehead, closed his eyes slightly, seemed to think of something, and then responded.

"If you want to talk about warmth, it should be the magical girl. After all, it is Zi Gongxiang's."

"Magical girl?"

Kamiya Yuu murmured softly, as if recalling something in his mind, he made an instant decision.

[The next book of Death Note is going to be about a magical girl. After all, the magical girl from the previous life was pretty good. ]

"Thank you Nozaki-kun for letting me decide on the next manga."

"The manga...is it a magical girl type?"

"right"

Seeing Kamiya Yu's determined expression, although I really want to say: I can draw Octopus' original sin, this kind of dark comic. Isn’t it inappropriate to draw a magical girl?

[Could it be that Mr. Kamiya wants to...]

Umetaro Nozaki threw away the weird thoughts in his mind. After all, there is no need for someone to turn a heartwarming theme like magical girls into a depressing work for serialization.

"Nozaki-kun?"

"Sorry..." Umetaro Nozaki returned to reality and said blankly.

? ? ?

"I'm going to leave first. I have to send Nozaki-san's comics to the headquarters now."

Although Yu Kamiya was a little confused, he didn't ask too much. After saying hello to Nozaki, he walked out.

------------------(scene dividing line)

[Where should the editorial department go? Why is this place so big? ]

Looking at the crowds of people constantly passing by, Kamiya Yu stood in the hall and looked around.

But not long after, a mature woman wearing business attire and short brown hair walked towards Kamiya Yu. She put her hands in front of her and asked softly.

"Young man, do you need my help?"

oh oh

Kamiya Yu didn't think much about it. After all, he didn't know where to go. Now that someone was helping him, he asked softly.

"Hello, where is the editorial department? I'm here to submit a manuscript."

After hearing Kamiya Yu's answer, the man in front of him was unambiguous and directly took Kamiya Yu inside. On the way Kamiya Yu learned her name, Ida Ayano, and she was also a manga editor.

When he heard Yuu Kamiya talking about his editor, Ayano Iida looked slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the boy in front of him was the author of Octopus Pit [Kamiya Yuu].

As for knowing that Kamiya Yuu is Mr. Kamiya, let alone the fact that there are only two cartoonists under Editor Miyamae, one is Mr. Yumeno, and the remaining one can only be himself.

"Are you helping Miyamae collect manuscripts?"

"Yes, Editor Miyamae said he had something to do and asked me to help. I just happened to have time, so I can also visit the headquarters casually."

Kamiya Yuu said slowly, lifting the bag in his hand from time to time, telling Iida Ayano with his actions.

"I'll take you around when I have time, anyway, there's nothing to do."

"Thank you for your trouble"

Kamiya Yuu spoke softly. He didn't expect the editor here to be so enthusiastic. She agreed as soon as he expressed his desire to go around.

Before they took a few steps, the two arrived in front of a door with three big characters written on it: Editorial Department. Iida Ayano knocked on the door and pushed the door open without waiting for the person inside to respond.

Everywhere Kamiya Yuu looked, noisy sounds flooded into his ears. Many comics editors sat at their workstations and roared wildly at the other end of the phone.

——【Yamamoto, have you finished writing this week's manuscript? Don't force me to come to you tomorrow. 】

——【Huh, no idea? I'm afraid you're mentally ill. It will be serialized the day after tomorrow. What are you doing? 】

——【Are you going to let me lock you up in a small dark room and not let you out until you finish three or four chapters? 】

........

"It's a bit novel, all comic editors are like this. Fortunately, you don't let Miyazaki worry about it, otherwise his blood pressure will go up a lot."

Ayano Iida beside him looked at Kamiya Yu with his mouth slightly open and explained softly. Before Kamiya Yu responded, a tall figure walked over from a distance and spoke at the same time.

"Uh... Is it Mr. Kamiya? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Future editor of Shiina Mashiro (Ayano Iida)
