1983 Past Life Manga King

“Branch.”

“Yeah.”

As the president left his seat and exited the executive office, the managing director, who was looking at the back of the two with empty eyes, slumped into his seat.

“……”

***

“Wow, the King of Jungwon Cooking is interesting, isn’t it?”

“right?”

Daebong Lee shrugs his shoulders and grunts.

“I heard that there are a lot of fantasy novels coming out in Japan, so I asked the person in charge to read them. But there were a lot of interesting things, so I applied it to a manga.”

Whether the strategy of itemizing food worked properly, he beat Pasiencia a few days ago and took third place again.

I wonder if Lee Dae-bong feels good when the Jungwon Cooking King has settled down like this, so he wanders around the back alleys of Itaewon and Myeong-dong in search of story material, looking for new books.

Books published in Korea lacked resources, so I was wandering around looking for Japanese and American magazines. What’s lacking is that he contacted Yajima, the person in charge, and asked for it.

“Hey, Silver. How are you? My skills.”

“…I think the drawing and directing were better than the story.”

“Hey, Silver. It’s because I like the story, the story.”

“Who’s bad? But, the painting role was also great.”

“A picture-perfect kid who fell into a narrow-minded accident.

“Who’s intolerant? Look at what you’re talking about right now. Who’s more intolerant?”

“Mr. Woo. Okay, okay. I’ll admit the mistake.”

Saying that, he walks away.

It’s not easy to win mentally against Silver anyway.

Because it won’t work if you stab it.

But this time he comes to me again and tells me that he remembered something.

“Oh, I saw something interesting.”

“…?”

“I stopped by the manga room in the morning and saw Samsara.”

“What?”

I didn’t understand it for a moment, but then I remembered that in this day and age, the world is where pirates play the game.

“A pirate version?”

“Uh. By the way, Samsara Volume 2 hasn’t come out yet, has it?”

“That’s right. It will be published soon. But why?”

“Unfortunately, up to volume 2 came out. When I looked at it, I got a serialized version and copied and painted it.”

“……”

Hopefully, our manga eventually came out as a pirate version. Also, Volume 2 was earlier than in Japan.

“No way! Isn’t that illegal?”

Kyung-hee, who came into the studio at some point, jumped and shouted in an excited voice.

“That’s illegal.”

“Then you should file a complaint.”

“You have to make a complaint, so it doesn’t disappear. In addition, the addresses in comic books are often fake, and the police don’t even bother to come forward.”

“So what? There’s no way?”

“no.”

In this era, cultural exchanges with Japan were not active.

It was 1998 when Japanese comic books began to be properly imported, and that didn’t happen all at once.

Anyway, that will only happen 13 years from now, so for now, I’m just letting go.

“How could they have known that we would be targeted by pirates. Should we call this an honor?”

Lee Dae-bong also speaks with an absurd expression.

Then he glanced at Silver.

Because before coming here, Silver was a pirated cartoonist for a famous comics magazine publishing company.

Silver, feeling Lee Dae-bong’s gaze, puts his head further down and concentrates only on painting.

“Is someone copying Samsara and building up their skills?”

“……”

“Oh, it might become a shameful memory later.”

“……”

“It’s a little difficult for me to understand as an original creator, but I still have an open mind…”

“Yeah, I got it. Okay.”

“Huh? What?”

“The King of Jungwon Cooking admits that it’s great because of the story.”

“Huh? Really? Really, do you think so?”

“Yeah, ma’am!”

“Oh, good.”

Daebong Lee jumped up from his seat and danced.

Beyond Boy Heroes (9)

next day.

Park Sang-sik, who went to the manga room, borrowed the book in question.

Samsara pirate version.

The title is a bit shocking.

‘Day of Doom’.

Was this title because it started with a story where zombies appeared and the earth was devastated?(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

In fact, rather than Samsara, a title that can be easily understood is probably the best.

Just like City Hunter came out as an adult cartoon titled ‘City Desire’.

Of course, it’s a thing of the future.

Was the friendship also Yongsoya?

When I open the book, the paper is coarse, but the copied drawings are even worse.

Among the backgrounds that appear, the placenta is especially complicated by replacing them with ink or rough lines.

In addition, the scene of a large crowd felt like it was just drawing, and it must have been a high-quality picture, but it would not have been easy to copy it.

Silver, an experienced person, said that the price per sheet was set, so many people drew it as simply as possible.

Of course, he seems to have some pride that he tried to draw a better picture than the original, but because of that, he also heard a voice from Lee Dae-bong,

“Wow, that’s great. That’s great, where the hell was this? Golden Publishing? It’s a waste of a name. It’s a waste.”

Park Sang-sik clicks his tongue and grumbles, then immediately looks at the address in the back cabinet.

I saw it and said

“That address is fake.”

“How do you know that?”

Then Silver intervened.

“That’s right, Yunhwan, it’s mostly fake.”

After hearing Silver’s words, Park Sang-sik sighed and immediately folded his arms and made an impression.

“I thought this was the case before, but it’s absurd because it happened directly.”

“Just, forget it. After all, our manga is officially a Japanese manga. It’s a book published in Japan. We can’t exert any influence in Korea yet.”

Silver nods his head to see if he agrees with my words.

“Yeah. And the government doesn’t really care about this kind of thing. Anyway, once you copy and draw it, it’s the law that it’s recognized as a cartoon, ha, this is so. It’s ridiculous.”

Park Sang-sik, who sighed as he said that, looked at the painting again and became irritated.

“Even if it’s a picture, I’ll copy and draw it properly. What is this, this? It’s like making high-end cuisine with honey porridge.”

“Gorgeous. The analogy is appropriate.”

Silver smiles and says.

In fact, in this era, there were many problems other than the pirated version.

In those days, it was common for even active cartoonists to steal Japanese cartoon scenes from their original works and draw them.

And that’s not for the script, but from the serialization of a manga magazine.

It was a time when a famous cartoonist copied Akira’s scene as it is, or even a work such as a biography of Venus changed only the face and proudly uploaded a manga to a serial magazine.

Since there is not much information about Japan, it was common to draw like this.

I heard this from Park Sang-sik, but in the past, there were cases where foreign comics were piled up and then comics were published by drawing scenes from these comics as if they were pasted together.

So, the comic book was used as a kind of data book.

Since it was such an era, it seems that publishing a pirated version was considered as light as just ignoring the signal and crossing the railroad crossing.

There is no way to think about this, and there is nothing I can do right now.

I stopped thinking like that and looked at the clock.

“By the way, can’t you see Junhee today?”

It was nearing lunchtime, and Sung Joon-hee muttered because he had not yet appeared in the studio.

Then Gu Ja-hee answers.

“Ah, I got a call this morning saying I’ll be late today, but I forgot to tell you.”

“Are you Junhee? What’s going on?”

“It’s not a bad thing, it’s because of Junmo. Today, I took him to kindergarten and came to see it. Junmo is also six years old now.”

“Ah.”

Come to think of it, I remembered Sung Joon-hee talking about kindergarten a few days ago.

Before entering school, he said he would visit kindergarten with his family in advance, right?

This year, her Junmo is already six years old.

She said that at first she said that she was going to save a little more of her money by this year and spend next year, she said, but she said she planned to spend some spare time in the studio as she went around the studio.

And what she didn’t know was that she paid the kindergarten expenses with her personal money.

I didn’t really pay any attention to it, and I only found out later.

Of course, the money Seong-Jun Hoe earned would be sufficient, but considering the difficult family circumstances, it seems that her twins discussed the decision.

There is already a lot of money in Seon-hee’s bankbook, so her mother seems to manage it separately, but the first opinion seems to come from Kyung-hee’s mouth.

Kyung Hee is secretly paying attention to these big and small issues.

Previously, Park Soo-mi’s mother had been admitted to the hospital, and even then, she told me the story and paid for her hospital bills.

Anyway, this… … , is it some kind of workplace welfare?

The twins take care of these things well, so I’m proud as an older brother.

“Jun-mo is going to have a lot of fun today.”

“Anyway, these days she says she doesn’t sleep every night because of the fact that Jun-mo is going to kindergarten.”

“That’s right. For the first time, you’ll be able to make a lot of friends.”

“There are a lot of friends in every neighborhood. At that age.”

“Ah.”

I forgot.

Unlike the times I lived in, now there are many children on the streets in every neighborhood.

It was also common for children to gather all over the place to play scabs or marbles, and especially near the stationery, it was literally crowded.

Of course, when it’s time to do a cartoon movie in the evening, it all disappears at the same time as if it were a promise.

After a while, the gate opened and Sung Joon-hee and her Jun-mo appeared.

She runs across her yard, hopping over with her pretty hat and her bag and she’s so excited.

Kyung-hee sees this and runs away from reading a book in the living room.

“Wow! Junmo!”

“aunt!”

Kyunghee hugs Junmo and turns it round and round.

Junmo says she likes it, and she laughs.

But she panted as if Kyung Hee was tired of having run her a few laps, and put her ponytail down on her floor.

Then Junmo clings to Kyunghee and uses her swarm.

“More, Auntie! Do more!”

However, Kyunghee bows her body and waves her hand with her hand on her waist.

“No. My aunt is out of power.”

“I’ll do my best. Yay!”

Jun-mo points her finger at Kyung-hee and shouts, and she straightens her body upright.

“Oh, the power is bulging? Just like Lee Man-gi, the power just springs up.”

“Mom, I hate being late.”

“Well then, Bayaba!”

“Hairy Aunt, that’s weird!”

“Hahaha. Bayaba!”

“Do not!”

Now Junmo is a lot bigger than her, and she speaks her words quite well.

She said that when she first came to the studio, she was very talkative and she was a coward.

Perhaps the person who had the most influence on that personality was Kyung Hee.

Just looking at Junmo is enough to stick with her.

Sometimes, when Sung Joon-hee stays up until dinner, Kyung-hoe often takes care of him when he goes to sleep and eats dinner together in the studio, and he often reads children’s books, so he often reads Hangeul well.

Of course, when Miryung is there, the two of them spend a lot of time playing together.

Sometimes, you don’t even know if this is a studio or a love room.

When Sung Joon-hee enters the studio, women flock to her and start chatting with her.

There seems to be a lot of talk about Junmo’s curiosity about her kindergarten.

Men who can’t join in such conversations just write the manuscript or go to the next room to watch the video, but then her mother comes to the studio.

She came to prepare lunch, but even such a mother forgets to prepare her lunch and falls into the saga about her junior-mo and her kindergarten.

Silver looked at me and gave me a strange expression.

“…?”

When I make a puzzled expression, I say it with my mouth.

‘Let’s eat Jajangmyeon.’

Jjajangmyeon is Junmo’s favorite food in the world.

I can’t be so happy when I eat jajangmyeon.

Come to think of it, I also visited Junmo Kindergarten today, and she will enter kindergarten in a few days, so it can be commemorated.

I immediately called Kyunghee.
