1983 Past Life Manga King

I honestly haven’t seen it these days.

I just remembered something I saw a long time ago.

Of course, at that time, I didn’t even know about Kang Yong-cheol, a cartoonist, and I never serialized it in Treasure Castle.

Oh, and one more important thing in the new series.

‘The 8th Team’ by cartoonist Heo Kyung-man

A movie called ‘Mr. Go’ was later made.

Of course, the story of the movie and the manga is completely different, but

“How about two cartoons?”

“Well, it’s a pure manga. But why?”

“Both feel great. It’s probably going to be a big hit.”

However, the contrast is completely different in the cartoon film made on TV.

‘Fairy Finkel’ is a failure, and ‘Run Hanu’ is such a hit that a sequel is released.

“Oh, yes? It’s the beginning, but it’s fun. Especially, seeing the scene where Hanu suddenly runs away. There’s an atmosphere that he’s going to become a great athlete.”

“Yeah. Watch those cartoons carefully, and learn what you need to learn.”

“Okay. Because you say that. I’m more interested in it. And I’m here today to see Seon-hee’s drawing, and seeing Seon-hee’s work, I learn a lot.”

“Do that. It’ll probably be quite stimulating. I’ve improved my skills.”

“Are you always talented there? It’s disgusting. Really.”

Kang Yong-cheol’s expression turned into an absurd expression, but then he smirked and smiled. And then the story turns.

“How is Japan these days?”

“what?”

“Manga, manga. What kind of manga is popular in Japan right now?”

“now?”

“Uh. Please tell me. Well, I’m always curious about Japan, so I need information.”

“This is a long story to start with.”

“The longer the better.”

Well, looking at the atmosphere, it looks like you’ll be completely resting today. I’m not busy either.

“Okay.”

It is now towards the end of January 1985.

So. You have to think carefully about the year and talk about it.

It’s difficult to just talk about the 80’s in a lump.

So, we started talking.

“The most popular manga right now…”

One by one, it started slowly as if talking about this distant world.

First off, from the famous dog silver, Captain Tsubasana Akira, Miyuki, Touch, Fist of the North Star, Maison Kak, Ursei Yatsura, Space Pirate Cobra, Area 88, etc.

Although Dragon Ball has started serialization right now, it has been excluded because it currently ranks only 10 in Shonen Jump.

A legend will begin soon, but not now.

But when we started talking, people started to gather around us.

Although they bring manuscripts to Japan, Silver is the only one who has knowledge of the situation in Japan. However, even Silver doesn’t have as much knowledge as I do, so he seems to be listening intently while working on the manuscript.

Anyway, after thinking about it for a while, somehow I feel like I’m a changer.

Then Daebong Lee came into the studio and said, ‘What is it? What is it?’ and they mix with the crowd.

As people who like manga, the latest Japanese information seems to be more interesting than any other stories.

Shall we catch up with you later and talk about Annie?

But then the phone rang.

After receiving her call, Somi Park is startled, and hands the phone to Silver who was next to her.

“who?”

“I’m Japanese, but I can’t understand.”

“Kidou-sensei?”

“No. It’s like a different person. And when he calls, Kido says hello in Korean clumsy.”

“…Okay.”

Silver got up and answered the phone.

In the meantime, I keep talking.

It can’t be helped because the people around me keep urging me.

But soon Silver is startled and calls me.

“Why?”

“This is Toriyama-sensei.”

“Toriyama…Akira?”

“Uh. Doctor Slump Cartoonist.”

At that time, the room became quiet.

I ran straight to the phone and picked up the receiver.

“Yes, I switched phones.”

Spooning (2)

I was startled by the sudden phone call, but when I heard the other person’s voice, that feeling quickly disappeared.

-… … .

“Yes hello.”

-… … .

“No, that’s fine. Rather, I’m honored.”

It’s a nuisance, my mood is torn right now.

-… … .(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Thank you for your kind rating.”

This man also put honey on his mouth.

Anyway, after exchanging such simple greetings, he brought up the main topic.

After listening to his story for a long time, I opened my mouth.

“Yeah. I’m still reading. Yeah. But, readers are sober, no matter how great the past is, I think that’s unavoidable. Yes, yes.”

It’s been a little over two months since Dragon Ball started serializing.

Speaking of the progress, it would have only progressed to the extent of meeting Yamuchi. After a while, I will go to the frying pan mountain where Uma King is located. Originally, Dragon Ball is a cartoon that started as a kind of adventure gag created from the beginning based on the Journey to the West, borrowing the setting of the Satomi Eight Dogs orbs.

However, unlike Doctor Slump, Dragon Ball’s popularity at the beginning was really bad.

And you won’t be able to get out of this atmosphere right now.

However, since Doctor Slump’s great success has decided to make it into an animation, the serialization is inevitably going on.

The atmosphere of Dragon Ball will start to change little by little from the Pirahu part that appears in the mid-to-late volume of Volume 2. And from Volume 3, the Mucheon Dosa Training, and the Cheonha First Ball, the popularity explodes.

If it’s long, it’s long, if it’s short, it’s short.

However, since it is not possible to know that fact in advance, now is definitely a difficult time.

-… … .

“Yes. That’s right. Well.”

It wasn’t a call for help.

He’s just complaining because he’s having a hard time, and he seems to have a mental burden on his next work because his first work was a hit.

Even if he asks for help, I have no intention of doing anything.

After all, he’s going to make a masterpiece.

Or just listen to what I can say, or

“The person in charge, Torishima-san, is a talented person, so if you talk a lot…”

I’m only talking to some extent.

-… … ?

“…Ah, that’s what I’ve heard too. You seem to be quite famous.”

It seems strange that I even know Torishima, who is in charge.

He’s a great character that anyone who likes Dragon Ball will have heard of at least once in a while, but not so far now.

Sometimes too much knowledge is burdensome.

If I didn’t know, it would be possible to have a more natural conversation.

Because if it influences too much in the future, the masterpiece that really deserves to be released might disappear.

Anyway, we hung up the phone after talking about miscellaneous things.

Click.

Chatting on international phone calls.

Phone bills would be very expensive.

Seriously, a few years ago, I was one of the top 10 Japanese taxpayers, so who am I worried about now?

As soon as I hung up the phone, people around me flocked to me.

Everyone looks at me with a look that tells them to talk quickly.

Most of them don’t know Japanese, so I’m curious as to what I was talking about.

Silver also stares at me with a terrifying force to learn more.

If I don’t tell you, that person will kill me, right?

I opened my mouth to the Japanese family members who were curious.

“I think it’s a bit difficult right now because I have a lot of trouble.

“Are you worried? You’re one of the best manga artists in Japan.”

Park So-mi, who looked surprised at my words, said.

“So a lot of people were looking forward to this manga, but the results didn’t come out.”

“How are your grades now?”

“About 15th place.”

“Really? Isn’t it about 20 manga series?”

“It’s probably about 18.”

At my words, Park Sang-sik came forward this time.

“Isn’t that very dangerous?”

I nodded my head at that.

“It’s not dangerous, but hopeless.”

Of course, if it was just another normal cartoon.

But with Dragon Ball, things are a little different.

It’s a situation where the animation production has been decided.

“So is he asking for help?”

“No, I guess I just needed someone to talk to.”

“The publisher is in charge. Isn’t it the best friend?”

“It’s friendly, but it seems it’s a bit difficult.”

“It’s difficult to be in charge? Why?”

Park Sang-sik made a face that it was difficult to understand what I was saying.

“He is the editor who selected him when he was unknown. But he is so strict that he rejected about 500 manuscripts in a year.”

Even the fishermen are surprised by that.

“Because he was more like an assistant in a harshly trained army than an editor.”

Silver frowned at those words.

That look… … .

Have you ever remembered military life?

At that time, the military was a bit tough, wasn’t it?

“Awesome. Did you really endure it all?”

“The cartoon that came out like that was Dr. Slump, which was his debut work and his success story.”

I can only say that it is a steel mentality.

“I thought he was just a genius who made his debut, but he wasn’t. The editor made it that hard, but the cartoonist who endured it is also amazing.”

“The genius is rather Seon-hee or Yoon-hwan. A Korean debuted in Japan without much experience.”

He nodded his head with an expression of understanding to all Silver’s words.

From my point of view, I think the real genius is Seon-hee.

At first, I was just a fan from the future.

“So what did you say?”

“It’s just that the editor in charge is competent, so if I discuss it with him, good results will come out. Because I’ve done Doctor Slump successfully before.”

“By the way, that such a great person is calling you saying you are having a hard time. I was surprised. I was surprised.”

I was really surprised.

How could he have known that he would have such a personal call with a cartoonist who is still a great cartoonist, but who will become even more legendary in the future?

If it was the future me, my heart might have stopped.

I would have been moved by just getting one autograph.

But at the same time, it’s really weird.

I couldn’t have imagined a conversation like this, but when I actually did it, it felt as comfortable as just talking to an acquaintance. No, rather than that, I am proud and a little ashamed that such a person recognizes Samsara so much.

But a few days later, Toriyama-sensei called again.

He is currently contemplating the future development with Mr. Torishima, who is in charge, but it is not easy.

Although he thought there was a problem with dragging him to the gag, he also said that no decision had been made on the direction of the future.

Even though it was a new project that he had been wanting to do so much, it seems that the result was so bad that he was not very disappointed. Others say that they want to finish the serialization and come up with a new story if it is not for animation.

The disappointment must have been as great as the expectations were high.

Of course, all I have to do is just listen.

Anyway, we exchanged phone calls like that for a few days.

As you can see, I have built up some kind of friendship implicitly.

As a result, naturally, we became close like brothers and sisters.

Akira Toriyama is now 31 years old in Korean age. She is 29 years old in Japanese age.

I am 23 years old now, and I am 21 years old in Japanese age, so there is an 8 year difference.

Anyway, since we are so close, we naturally let go of our words.

-… … .

“Still, if you stay in the house too much, your brother-in-law wouldn’t like it.”

Now that we’ve been married for less than three years, it’s fine, but it’s a pity that I’m so engrossed in cartoons at a time when sesame seeds are pouring in, and that my wife, who was a cartoonist, helps me out a lot, so what’s the happiness?

In fact, when I was drawing Dr. Slump alone, the background of Penguin Village was always sunny.

Says Then, it is famous that it started raining after we got married.
