1983 Past Life Manga King

“Oh, you got that much money?”

At my words, Daebong Lee put his hands on his waist and laughed out loud.

“Haha, I guess it’s because it’s Japan, so it’s full. It’s me, I hope there’s a fish, but the maintenance cost of the studio is expensive. When it comes in, it just accumulates in the bank.”

“Wow, so James oppa will soon become rich like our teachers?”

At that, Lee Dae-bong looks at me and Seon-hee and smiles.

“Ah, that’s not it. Compared to those monstrous brothers and sisters, it’s clogged blood. Still, the day will come when we catch up with Yunhwan.”

“Who’s been caught?”

That person was so fussy about getting a car license last year, and finally got it earlier this year.

Actually, I don’t know for sure, but getting a license in this era is at a level that can’t be compared to when I was living.

Of course, it is not because the exam is difficult, but it is said that it is so crowded that people have to wait 4-5 months or more to register and take the practical exam.

This is because the number of people who want to get a car license suddenly suddenly heard about it as advertisements for cars have increased on TV these days.

Thanks to that, the license examination center is always full of people, and in this day and age, work is slow because computers are not used to do business, so it may be natural to register for the test and wait for half a year.

Besides, the test is not taken at the academy, but at the 100% test center, but from what I heard, there seem to be few passers-by all day long.

On the day Lee Dae-bong took the test, about 200 people took the practical test, and only three passed. With such a low probability, Lee Dae-bong’s nose pierced the sky that day.

After all, he took a long and tedious license test, finally got his license, and so quickly bought a car.

He said that he would buy a car someday because he was a person with a wanderlust from the beginning, but his ability to quickly buy a car as soon as he has money like this is amazing.

These days, it seems that because of the king of Jungwon cuisine, he often goes in and out of the places where overseas Chinese in Incheon live, but now that I have a car, I will definitely go there often.

“Wow, isn’t that a lot more expensive than a pony?”

“You can’t compare it to a 3 million won pony.”

“Is it that much of a difference?”

Kim Ki-cheol is busy looking at cars, asking Lee Dae-bong if he is interested in cars.

“Are you jealous?”

this time you ask me

“Well. It’s fine.”

Of course, to other people it may be, but to me it just looks like an ancient relic, so I don’t really notice it.

Soon, Somi Park said with sparkling eyes.

“James, can’t we drive you?”

“Fufu, is that so?”

Saying so, he raised the corners of his mouth. Then he looked at me with crescent eyes and asked.

“How about our Yunhwan?”

“I’m fine. I don’t want to entrust my life to a beginner.”

“Hey, I’ve been practicing a lot during this time. Don’t be too novice.”

“Why don’t you call a beginner a beginner?”

“Twitch.”

“I want to ride!”

Kyung-hee raised her hand and Lee Dae-bong nodded his head.

“As expected, Kyunghee is on my side! Okay. You are especially…”

But I stopped right away.

“No. Once Daebong-hyung is alive for more than 3 months, then get on it.”

“Huh? What makes you say something so cruel? Yoonhwan, aren’t you too cold-hearted? There’s not a single word in your words.”

“Noisy, who are you riding on a beginner topic? Add enough oil and burn it 30 more times.”

“Kyung-hee, do you trust this James?”

However, Kyung-hee, who had been excited for a while, avoids Lee Dae-bong’s gaze as if she had ever been so excited.

“Well, after all, listening to my brother, it seems that way. No matter how good the car is, my life is still precious.”

“Why is a woman so ungrateful?”

“I’m not a Joseon-era woman.”

“Then you, Seon-hee…”

However, Seon-hee turns away from Lee Dae-bong’s gaze and goes inside the gate.

Then, Lee Dae-bong turns into a bewildered face.

Seeing that, Silver giggled.

“Hey, that’s cool.”

“Hey, Silver! Why are you so upset again?”

“I’ll go to work first.”

“Silver you! Are you ignoring me?”

“Hahaha.”

“Do not laugh!”

In the end, Lee Dae-bong’s bragging was finished, and the studio family left work one by one. Of course, whether it was because of my words or because Lee Dae-bong was really ugly, everyone went back.

They told them that Daebong Lee would take them home, but they all pretended not to hear and left.

“Everyone is so good, really!”

After everyone got home from work, they were sitting in a quiet studio watching a video.

Of course, Z Gundam is the hottest topic lately.

I’ve seen it before, but in this era, it’s real-time, so it’s a completely different feeling.

what’s up there

Seeing this makes me feel at ease.

It’s probably because of the devotee’s blood flowing through my body.

After all, on weekends, it is very enjoyable to spend time watching these delayed videos and magazines from Japan.

Although I am thirsty for information because there is no internet, this kind of relaxedness is not bad.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Oh, it’s already a scene from Z Gundam.”

Z Gundam that appears dramatically when Gundam MK-2 is being pushed back.

It must have been quite noisy in Japan because of this scene.

There’s nothing special about it because it’s a scene I’ve seen a lot, but seeing it at this time, it’s a bit special too.

But it was then.

“Brother! Call Japanese Uncle!”

I hear Kyunghee screaming.

Once I stopped the video, I got up and went to the next room.

And picked up the phone.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Jiro gave the main point.

– Samsara Dark King is second in this spirit hero questionnaire.

“Ok?”

It’s amazing.

To be honest, it is very encouraging that the 2nd episode came out in 2nd place with the 3rd episode already started after Dark King started serializing in Spirit Hero.

It is hard to believe that the results of a person who just made a professional debut.

Of course, Spirit Hero isn’t a very popular magazine, and there aren’t many standout works, so it can’t be said that the competition is fierce.

But even so, it’s great.

Although I am in charge of supervising the story, I do not interfere with the progress of the story at all. So, it’s purely based on one’s own skills.

But to be honest, the fun is still lacking a lot.

Because it’s such a devotee story, its popularity is bound to drop a lot.

Perhaps the reason why we got 2nd place is because the fans intensively bought the magazine.

Anyway, that doesn’t change the fact that it’s great.

-And since Dark King was serialized, the sales of Spirit Heroes have increased by more than 10,000 copies, so the atmosphere is very good.

“It went well. Still, thanks to Samsara’s expanded worldview, I can have a wider range of stories, so making a story is more fun these days.”

– There seems to be synergy here and there. Either way, it seems like a good thing for Samsara.

The number of copies sold of Samsarado monograph has increased considerably.

Volume 3 is expected to come out soon, but it seems that even now, the sales of volumes 1-2 are increasing little by little.

It is said that the main source of income for a real cartoonist is books, and the money that comes from the sales of books these days is no joke.

In Boy Heroes, it seems that it is almost fixed at first place, and recently, it seems that because of Kyung Hee’s participation, a sincere man has been in second place for several weeks.

Fasiencia are in a fight with Esper John for third place.

However, as the TV version of Esper Zone will be released soon, it is unknown how the ranking will change. In the case of serialized comics, sales often skyrocket as TV anime airs.

Of course, if TV anime goes bankrupt, the opposite can happen.

-The Dark Princess is also smooth. We don’t miss out on the 1st place in the questionnaire. The Big Hero editorial department was looking forward to the next 40-page title color special edition.

“It will be finished by tomorrow. I’ll send it to the other manuscripts the day after tomorrow.”

-Yeah. Okay. Oh, and the ‘Mega Zone 23′ you mentioned earlier was sent to Korea along with other materials. It was a little late because I was looking for all the related albums together.

“Oh. It’s fine.”

The legendary anime Megazone 23’, which will be the best-selling anime in Japan this year, was immediately requested by Jiro as soon as it was released.

Well, I’m not in a hurry because I’ve already seen all of them.

It’s just that it’s important to buy an important piece of work at that time and have it.

Well, it’s for adults, so I’ll have to watch it alone so that Seon-hee or Kyung-hee won’t notice it, but anyway, I was about to end the call, but Jiro suddenly says ‘Hold on a second’ and is quiet.

You seem to be talking to the staff.

If it doesn’t have anything to do with me, I can just hang up, but when I see it telling me to wait, does it have something to do with it?

After a while, Jiro spoke in a slightly excited voice.

“It seems that a new manga is being serialized in a boys’ magazine right now.”

new cartoon?

Was there anything special about boys’ magazines back then?

“But… it is said that the content is quite similar to Samsara. A time loop, zombies appear, and even the shadows.”

What else is this?

Let’s try (2)

A manga similar to Samsara is being serialized in a boys’ magazine?

I was dazed for a moment at the thought of being ridiculous, and Jiro waited for a while without saying a word to see if he understood my feelings.

After she cleared her mind for a moment, she soon opened her mouth.

“So, does that mean that a plagiarism cartoon is being serialized?”

Jiro hesitated a bit at those words, and then she let out a short sigh and opened her mouth.

– That’s a bit odd.

“Is it strange?”

– As you know, in the case of pictograms, it’s an atmosphere that recognizes that similar pictures appear frequently. You just can’t do anything about it. It’s moral, but there’s not enough evidence to stop it.

This is the part I agree with.

Even when I was living, One Piece and Rave (from the same author as Fairy Tail) had similar drawings, so even though there was a controversy, it was just skipped over.

Of course, in the case of Rave, it is a bit vague because it is a case that resembles the painting of One Piece as it was serialized, not the painting of One Piece from the beginning.

It was probably nicknamed ‘Fake Coming’.

‘Even in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, there are so many plagiarisms that it’s hard to point out all of them. Certain scenes, including the cover illustration, were taken from famous Japanese comics from the past and put in as they are, but eventually they were all published.

Anyway, it was like that in the future, so it seems like there were a lot of cases where the shadows were just skipped over.

In fact, if you look closely, there are many cartoons that openly remind you of someone.

In particular, Akira-style manga has also transcended decades of time.

Ah, now the most popular comic book, Bukdu, had a problem with the worldview, costumes, and similar characters of the movie Mad Max.

Slam Dunk, Hunter X Hunter, which will come out later, was also famous for the problem of tracing in certain scenes.

The robot soldier that appears in ‘Laputa, the castle in the sky’, which will be released next year, is also almost the same as the robot that appeared in ‘Superman’, the American TV anime produced in 1941 by the Fleischer brothers. Of course I said homage

-The problem is the story and the setting part.

“……”

-I’m sure they’re quite similar, but first of all, the story itself cannot be said to be exactly the same. Still, our side raised a complaint about it, but the other side strongly denies it. Of course, the motif is acknowledged.

Only the motif is acceptable.

I think I know something.

It’s not the same, but it makes it similar.

In fact, not all of Samsara’s settings are original.

Most of the time, it’s just a re-creation of a new mix of previously published settings and stories.

So, you can’t just say you’re similar to mine.

In fact, homage, plagiarism, motifs, and clichés always appear whenever there is a controversy.

Although such things are generally distinguishable, it is true that there are many things that are ambiguous when used in a work.

And now, it’s not the era I lived in, it’s the 80’s.

Japan in the 80’s was a bubble economy, so it went well. Whatever it is, it cannot be compared to the time when I was living.

To be honest, it is Japan that awakened the awareness of plagiarism earlier than Korea, but it should be remembered that Japan was also full of plagiarism against foreign countries, especially the US, until the 1970s.

And to say the 70’s, by today’s standards, it was only a few years ago.

Whatever the case, it must have come out so hard because it was made into a similar work in a strange line. If it’s not fun, you can just stop the serialization, but they say it’s popular.

-By the way, the Easter egg part comes out similarly. Of course, it is different from Samsara, but anyone can see that it is a work that steals Samsara.

“Hmm. Dara even came out with an Easter egg… … .”

At this point, are you going to quit?

Anyone who sees an Easter egg has no choice but to think that it is Samsara.

-We are trying to protest strongly, but it doesn’t work well because the size of the company is different. First of all, the response to the serialization is good, so it seems that the serialization will continue over there.

Jiro is also feeling frustrated, and a sigh lingers between his words.

Anyway, I feel like I know what those words mean now.

To give you an example… … .

Is ‘My Hero Academia’ similar to the case where a lot of the settings were taken from ‘X-Men’?

Of course, if the picture is similar, it is a different case, but

“Yeah, what’s the title of that?”

-Zombie Samurai.

“……”

The title is also… … .

The only thing I’m going to do is make the title a little nicer.

I feel like I’m being passed over to Samsara at wholesale prices for nothing.

-By the way, since the magazine is so large, if it comes out as a book, I think it will far surpass Samsara’s sales.

“It is unavoidable. The level of the magazine company… … .”
