1983 Past Life Manga King

“Hey, this is interesting.”

suspicious person (3)

He was startled by the words he muttered unknowingly. Then he asked with a look of anticipation.

“fun?”

“no.”

“·················ogue.”

I haven’t seen him, but I can feel his disappointment.

I said still without taking my eyes off the name.

“I said it was interesting because of the description of the future. It seems so.”

“Ah, that.”

Only then did Shintaro understand what I was saying and nod his head.

“I like science fiction comics, so I like drawing machines. But these days, sci-fi comics aren’t as popular as they used to be. That’s because I’ve almost given up space to Annie. The romance of giant robots and battleships is not like it was in the 70s. Still, I wanted to draw a cartoon about the future. So, I bought and read various magazines to find out about the future in a different way, and I wondered if the future might be different from what we think it is now.”

“I think so. The future doesn’t always go as expected.”

“right. So when I looked through magazines about future science, there were a lot of interesting content, so I applied it to express the future.”

Even so, if I could make a similar analogy to this point, I would have studied a lot.

No, I’m not sure if this is a story that will only come out of study

That’s why there are so many experts about the future.

However, Shintaro suddenly asked a random question.

“Have you ever read a novel called The Time Machine?”

“A time machine? Well, I’ve seen the movie, but I haven’t read the novel. I don’t know if the content is similar.”

Shintaro waved his hand at my words.

“Oh, it’s completely different from the movie.”

“okay?”

“uh. The movie was made with only part of the novel. Actually, the novel is a bit bigger. Anyway, if you look there, there is a scene in the time machine where you can see the passing of time. Among them, the city is changing, and at first the buildings only go up and then stop at some point. And they keep it that way for a long time.”

“Why?”

“So, the future of unconditionally large and massive machines is just my current thinking, and I thought that maybe there would be a different kind of development. I saw in some magazines before, and they said that paper newspapers would disappear in the future, but I took that into account.”

“So, you created the future in the form that you envisioned in a completely different way than before?”

It’s a face that’s quite shy in my words.

“It’s not about creation. Anyway, it took me a long time to get this set up.”

this guy is excited

How did you survive while you liked talking like this?

There he continued to draw comics.

I smiled and said as if tossing.

“He said he didn’t do comics, so it seems he kept doing this.”

At that, Shintaro scratched the back of his head with an awkward expression.

“Because I had nothing to do in my spare time from work. I don’t meet anyone else. Oh, oh my. When I say that, it is very pathetic.”

Haha, I don’t even have a smartphone or computer like I did when I was living. It must have been difficult to keep watching TV shows that were difficult to understand.

So, my only pleasure was reading Japanese magazines I bought in Myeong-dong or Itaewon alleys.

Anyway, my thoughts were engraved aside, except that the story wasn’t interesting, and the content of the continuity was surprisingly similar to the future I knew.

Of course, there are some parts that you can’t understand because of the lack of detail in the background with just the storyline.

Still, that doesn’t change how great it is.

I glanced at it with an open mind.

“The setting is so good, I think it would be good to make a good story with this.”

“I think so too, but…….”

“Would you like to try this one? The boy hero you saw earlier.”

“What?”

“Is it because Boy Hero is a third-rate magazine?”

At that, Shintaro frowned.

“Boy Heroes are not third-rate magazines.”

I know it’s not.

I just said it.

Still, it’s a little sloppy when you say it so seriously.

He continued to speak with a serious expression.

“There are a lot of good cartoons here these days. To be honest, it’s almost the best except for Jump, Magazine, and Sunday.”

“Is that enough?”

I heard that the number of copies sold has increased these days, but I didn’t know it would be that much.

Have you stopped paying attention too much?

“okay. Especially Samsara, a man of sincerity, and Esper John are the best. Personally, I was a fan of Esper John, but now I like Samsara more. Not SF though. Oh, do you know Samsara?”

“I know.”

It feels good that Shintaro likes Samsara.

In any case, his expression brightened as if he was satisfied with my answer.

“Have you read them all?”

“Well, yes.”

“I also checked that the book was published in Itaewon, but I didn’t take a picture. It’s too expensive to just stand and sneak. I read it. It was too expensive for a human being.”

Saying that, he sighed and immediately looked at me and smiled.

“I didn’t expect to be able to talk in Korea as much fun as this. Thanks to you, today will be remembered as the best day in Korea. I think I got a nice present.”

“I had fun too, what?”

Having said that, he glanced at the continuity one more time, then looked at him again.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

I asked what he saw on my face with a puzzled expression.

“Why?”

“Do you have any plans to try making this again?”

“·················ogue.”

“It’s a setting that I’ve been thinking about for a long time and made with great care, but it’s a waste if I let it go like this.”

“It is, but…. This is not Japan, and I am afraid to go back.”

“Do you want to live as an illegal alien like this for the rest of your life?”

“Not that.”

“Are you complacent about thinking that things will get better on their own with time?”

“·················ogue.”

Shintaro bowed his head.

Perhaps you are despairing of a reality that is difficult to change.

When I was young, my father passed away and I could not see the future, so there was a time when I lived my life like no other.

No, to be precise, I lived like that until I came to this time.

So, it’s not that I don’t understand.

However, if you just sympathize with it, even this person will not be able to escape reality.

“Would you like to try it with me?”

Then he lifted his head and looked at me.

“with you?”

“uh. with me.”

Shintaro smiled bitterly.

“It’s kind of a thank you word.”

“Why do you think it doesn’t make sense?”

“sorry. If I offended you, I apologize.”

“Hyung, start apologizing. What are you so sorry for?”

“······I’m sorry.”

“Huh, really.”

Well, it’s normal.

Koreans who don’t even know anything about the Japanese comics world talk so easily.

Of course, from Shintaro’s point of view.

I asked.

“How about your body, can you move?”

“Uh, what. It’s okay now.”

“Wake up.”

“Why all of a sudden?”

“To see if it’s okay.”

“It’s okay because it’s okay.”

Saying that, he got up from his seat and moved his body to and fro. Seeing the slight convulsions on his face, he seems to be still in pain. However, the movement has definitely improved.

Seeing this, I jumped up from my seat.

“Are you going to go? Would you like to play some more?”

Shintaro made a sad expression on his face.

Seeing him like that, he smiled and said.

“come with me.”

He asked me with a surprised expression.

“now?”

“uh.”

“Where?”

“Where I work.”

“Where do you work? Where are you?”

“Close here. Come with me.”

“What are you doing here?”

“You’ll know when you go.”

There is no hesitation in saying that.

“okay. Okay.”

“Doesn’t your brother have any boundaries? What if I sell it to some strange place?”

“Where else can I fall from here? And if you sell it, it will be sold with a happy heart.”

What is he saying now?

Do you really think I might sell it?

I looked at him with an absurd face and then smiled.

“That’s right, too.”

Shintaro looked puzzled at my words.

“what?”

“It is said that there are many perverts in Japan.”

“What?”

He asked that question, and after a while he laughed out loud.

“right. Japan is a bit like that. I admit that.”

*

“Is this where you work?”

I asked while looking at the front door of the studio.

quite surprised.

“right.”

“Does this look like a Japanese house?”

It is night, but the eyes are wary of the appearance of the house seen through the gate.

“okay. right. But why?”

“Oh, no.”

“Well, maybe I could be a yakuza?”

“Oh, no. It’s not like that…”

No, they say the expression is correct.

Haha, seeing a Japanese-style building in Korea might have been creepy.

I’ve heard that Korean gangs are also very connected with Japan, so it’s understandable.

“If you don’t want to go in, you can leave.”

“No, that’s not it. Well, if it’s sold, I’ll sell it too.”

“What is he saying now?”

I laughed involuntarily at the absurd remark.

When I open the door and go inside, he hesitates for a moment and follows me in.

He looked around the yard with a nervous expression and looked towards the lighted floor.

The windows on the floor are made of projected glass, but the inside doors are closed so you can’t see anything.

At this time, all the fishermen would have left work, and there would probably be only Kyunghee and Seonhee.

I don’t know if there is a mother.

“Come on, this way.”

“Uh, uh. okay.”

Anyway, when you open the door and step inside, you cringe and follow carefully.

He takes off his shoes and climbs to the floor, and his footsteps following me are quite quiet.

Looking back, he now has a resigned expression on his face.

This is so much fun, isn’t it?

Can you play with me some more?

I thought about it, but I just decided to quit.

I’m so devilish

Anyway, I took the lead and opened the door to the studio.

Then again, there are only the two of them, Kyunghee and Seonhee.

But when Kyunghee sees me, she is shocked. Then he got up from the sofa with a frown on his face and shouted.

“No, brother! What the hell do you do when the person you used to go out to buy sweets comes in now? you were worried How worried the family members were!”
