1983 Past Life Manga King

“Yeah. I’ll see you first.”

Saying that, he unfolds the storyline.

At that time, Michiko, who was next to her, looked curiously about the conversation between the two, and when Jiro opened her notebook, she looked at them together.

But, she can’t read because she’s not Japanese.

Jiro, who had been reading her for a while, nodded her head.

“It’s pretty fun,” she said. It’s amazing to think that you’re a rookie. But I’m not a major in girl’s manga…”

She said so, and she said this time she looked at Michiko.

“Do you like girl manga?”

“of course.”

“I will read the articles here, so you should judge for yourself.”

“Am I?”

“okay. Now you are an editor with a responsibility.”

“Yep!”

Michiko clenches her fists with delight, and she goes straight through her continuity as Jiro reads it.

She then reads it all and tilts her head.

“It’s fun… I’m sorry.”

sorry?

dark club (3)

As I tilted my head, Jiro saw it and asked Michiko a little.

“I thought I was fine. What do you miss?”

“This is a girl’s cartoon. Then the fantasy part should be emphasized, but this is not enough.”

“Is it fantasy?”

Michiko nods her head at my question.

“Yeah. So, a woman’s fantasy.”

It’s a woman’s fantasy.

It seems like you don’t know something.

Michiko immediately added her explanation as if she understood me like that.

“Women’s fantasy is the core of girl’s manga. A beautiful man or a manly woman. So, the most popular characters in the girls’ academy are a very noble and feminine woman and a free masculine woman. Or a beautiful man. Of course, they all have to be dazzlingly beautiful. In addition······.”

Michiko diligently enumerates clichés that frequently appear in her girls’ manga. At first glance, it felt daunting, but I could understand what she was trying to say.

It means that the cliché that often appears in successful shoujo manga was not properly expressed in this manga.

I nodded her head at her words.

“It’s like that. The attractive surrounding characters that I just talked about pay attention to the main character.”

A typical formula for the popular pure manga of that time.

Candy is a common cliché for works such as Glass Mask and Applause.

In any case, what Michiko said is that, after all, it’s not fun because it doesn’t actively use common clichés.

I said muttering.

“It’s a common story.”

“It’s common, so it’s familiar and friendly. So it will be easy.”

Come to think of it, the story that Mi-Ja Jeong originally thought was an idea and development that was not particularly special.

It just looked different because the direction was different from the previous works.

It seems that what I overlooked was the rejection of common settings.

I implicitly judged that the shortcoming of the story that Mi-ja Jung originally wanted was plain. So she tried to add a lot of novelty to the story.

In the end, she thinks that it made the story more difficult and cut the fun in half.

In fact, if it’s a work of a bunch of common clichés, it’s usually overlooked by experts and doesn’t get good reviews. But if you think about it again, most of the popular cartoons are like that in the end.

In fact, it is a reality that the more special the work, the more neglected by ordinary readers.

I clearly had in mind that the character of a girl’s manga was important, but in the end, I couldn’t keep that word myself.

Of course, even that does not mean that Michiko’s words are 100% correct.

She said she could be her alone opinion.

However, Michiko explained it with examples even in her various works.

“I like Po’s clan, and if you look at the work…”

There are three works that appear in her words. She said there she was her favorite scene. She talks with even disappointing scenes, so Michiko was a far more expert than me when it came to pure manga, no, girl manga.

Anyway, when Kyung-hee interprets Michiko’s story, she nods her head to see if she was convinced.

No, rather than assuring her, it is the expression on her face that she has realized something she didn’t know.

At this point, it seems that Michiko’s role has been decided.

She immediately asked Jeongmi-ja.

“How about having a story meeting with Kawada-san?”

Then, her expression brightens. It seems she wanted it too.

“As long as I like Kawada-san, I’m in favor.”

Michiko’s eyes widened slightly as she heard Kyunghee’s interpretation next to her.

This time I asked Michiko.

“Mr. Kawada. Club of Darkness, would you like to have a story meeting together?”

“······ Is it me?”

“Yeah.”

happy look

But she soon changed her worried expression.

“But… I’m not even in charge of the Dark Club. Would it be okay?”

“It has not been decided. After all, he’s in charge of our studio’s manga now.”

“I don’t know if I can help.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“I think that’s enough.”

Michiko’s expression, which had paused for a moment at my words, soon brightened and nodded her head.

“Yeah. If you give me a chance, I will do it right.”

“Well then, let’s get started. Because I don’t have time.”

“Yes sir.”

Immediately she called Kyunghee.

“I need an interpreter, please.”

“Okay.”

She replies whether she’s happy to be part of the story, and she takes a seat right away.

And the meeting started and a major continuity revision began.

When Michiko’s opinion was added to the dark and mellow story, the feel of the story changed a lot.

I honestly don’t know the sensibility of a girl’s manga, so it’s a pretty good feeling.

Of course, that’s not to say I don’t know or don’t like girls’ manga at all.

I’ve seen some cartoons that are quite famous. However, the main focus is on boys’ comics rather than girls’ comics, so it is true that the professionalism is a bit lacking.

Anyway, I feel like the setting has improved quite a bit through conversation. And by applying it right away, I made a new storyline.

Even Jung Mi-ja has been studying storytelling for a few days, so she seems to have become quite proficient in making a storyline.

Of course, it is not comparable to Seonhee or Park Sangsik.

In the evening, Jiro and Michiko took the completed manuscripts and left the studio.

Then Michiko said to me.

“Teacher, please contact me when the name of the dark club is complete.”

“Yes, it is. But will you come back in a month this time?”

“No, just call me and I’ll come right away.”

“Yeah? Right?”

Will you come right away when I contact you?

Our studio isn’t even in Tokyo right now.

I thought I heard it wrong, but Michiko immediately nods her head.

“Yeah.”

“Are you two going to stay in Korea without going to Japan?”

“no. I have to go back today because of the manuscript.”

“Then you’re saying that if you really contact me, you’ll come right away?”

“Yeah.”

I didn’t hear it wrong.

“I was given the role of an editor with a lot of effort, of course.”

“No, that’s not the problem.”

“From my point of view, I have a pretty good sense of responsibility.”

ha, hey

Anyway, Jung Mi-ja, who was constantly listening to Kyung-hee’s interpretation, seems to be burdened.

“Hey, next time you come slowly, I don’t mind if you take it with you.”

Jeong Mi-ja said so, but Michiko was adamant.

“No. I will definitely come alone.”

“No, that would be more burdensome.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. You can come by yourself.”

“So, that’s the problem….”

Should I say that I have good behavior or that I am naive because I don’t know the world’s affairs yet?

So she glanced at Jiro.

However, Jiro did not respond to Michiko’s actions, and she said,

“Yes, this is Kawada’s job from the beginning, so I’ll leave it to you.”

Why is this person like this?

the next Saturday afternoon.

After returning from school early, her twins and all of her Japanese family decided to eat out after a while. Of course, she was going to use the meal voucher Michiko had given her a few days ago.

Everyone in the studio was dressed in neat clothes for going out and left the studio.

Because of this, Sung Joon-hee even dressed up her jun-mo and went to work.

Anyway, that little guy seems to have the most fun.

There is a fuss about going for something delicious.

Once we got a taxi, we shared them all, and headed straight for the city.

And as soon as we arrived in the city after a while, the hotel caught our eye.

I know it’s a famous hotel in the city, but it’s bigger than I thought, so everyone is surprised.

Gu Ja-hee asked with wide eyes.

“Is this a hotel?”

“Yeah. Kawada-san is written on the middle ticket.”

“Still, it’s a lot bigger than I thought.”

“Iknow, right.”

Everyone entered the hotel with a look of excitement and surprise on their faces.

As you enter the hotel with a spacious and luxurious interior, everyone looks around.

Then I got on the elevator and arrived at the restaurant on the 12th floor.

As you enter the restaurant through the hallway, the spacious, luxurious and exotic interior catches your eye.

I’ve been to a hotel restaurant when I met Jiro before, but it’s much bigger than that time, so her twins are quite surprised.

Not to mention the other Japanese family members.

It seems that I am the only one who is not surprised here.

Anyway, as soon as we went inside, a young employee approached us from the entrance.

“Have you made a reservation?”

Everyone pauses at those words.

I said as the representative.

“no. I didn’t make a reservation.”

“Sorry, but those who have not made a reservation will not be admitted.”

The eyes of the young staff who said that quickly scan us over our clothes.

I know what those eyes mean, but the publisher probably wouldn’t have given me this ticket without thinking.

“Can I check this?”

“·····················································································?”

When you take out a ticket and show it to the staff, the staff tilts their heads. Then he walks towards the front with a horse about to wait for a moment.

Park Soo-mi, who saw it, said in a quiet voice.

“Is it true that Kawada-san said you can come anytime?”

“Yeah. Obviously I said so.”

“By the way, I don’t think that’s the case based on the employee’s reaction.”

“Ah, I even took a taxi on purpose.”

“Well, or go to a good restaurant nearby and get some meat.”

“Still, I’m sorry. I wanted to know how it feels to eat in a place like this.”

“You’ve been to a hotel before.”

“There is no comparison there.”

“Well.”

But then, the staff almost rushes towards us. By the way, not one, but three, including a middle-aged man and a young female employee.

Kyung-hee, who saw that, looked at me with an anxious expression and said.

“Brother, what’s wrong?”

“I don’t know.”

“How are you anxious?”

The expression on the other side seems more anxious.

Anyway, the staff who approached quickly suddenly bowed their heads.

Everyone was bewildered by what the situation was, but then a middle-aged man who raised his head opened his mouth.

“I am a restaurant manager. Sorry to keep you waiting. We will guide you right away.”

“Ah, is this right?”

“of course.”

Having said that, he immediately led us to the window with a nice view. After guiding us to the big table there, the manager said again.
