1983 Past Life Manga King

“It was because yesterday there were so many fans that it was out of control. They said it was difficult to handle fan signing events due to the size of the bookstore.”

“·················ogue.”

I think something might make sense.

From the bookstore’s point of view, it’s kind of like an event, but it seems like they made that decision because there were a lot of people they couldn’t handle.

Hey, just yesterday, there wasn’t a riot of people not only indoors but also on the outside sidewalks.

“Then did the fan signing event just cross the water?”

“no. So today, I was in a hurry to find a new place.”

“A new place?”

“Yeah. This is the Japanese Budokan.”

“Are you a Japanese Budokan?”

The gym that appeared frequently in Yawara?

“Yeah.”

“Isn’t it too spacious there?”

“From tomorrow onwards, Kamen Rider-related events are being held. It’s the 15th anniversary. At this point, I hope that Sunny’s autograph session will also be held there.”

“Are you Kamen Rider?”

“Ishinomori Shotaro-sensei will probably come tomorrow as well.”

I was surprised by Jiro’s words.

Shotaro Ishinomori from Cyborg 009?

When Osamu Tezuka was called the god of manga, another legendary figure who was called the king of manga is Shotaro Ishinomori.

Oh, by the way, this gentleman was also the original author of Kamen Rider.

He is also a particularly well-known figure in this field to the extent that he took on the original work of many special films.

Then this is the angle you must go to.

Scratching his chin, he said to Jiro with a slightly troubled expression.

“The plane ticket I booked for tomorrow is…….”

Jiro, who heard me, replied lightly as if it was nothing special.

“If that’s the case, that’s fine. If you make a decision, we will cancel it immediately and prepare the ticket again the next day.”

Then you don’t need to worry.

He said, pretending not to be able to hold back.

“I can’t help it. Then go. Are you okay too?”

“Huh.”

Seon-hee is rather welcoming because she can play more here.

First, I should call the house and contact Kyung-hee that Seon-hee will have to drop out of school by Tuesday.

‘Aaaah! I envy you and Seonhee so much!’

It’s nice to see Kyunghee screaming in envy.

That makes me laugh without knowing it.

Jiro looks at me like that in a strange way.

“···········?”

“Ah, haha. If so, is the autograph session tomorrow?”

“Yeah. I think it’s best around lunchtime. The best thing to do is to do it on holidays, because I don’t have time. It’s unavoidable.”

On weekdays, even on Monday afternoons, the number of people who can come will be limited.

Still, it’s a burden for me to come too much, so maybe this is better.

“Then do it.”

“Yes sir. Then I will meet with the Kamen Rider event and talk.”

After Jiro said that, he immediately left the house.

Even though it’s Sunday, I can’t even rest because of us, and I feel sorry for it, but what? It is unavoidable.

Anyway, Seon-hee and I left the house immediately, had a quick breakfast nearby, and then went out to explore the city again. I couldn’t play yesterday, so I have to play hard today.

In front of the bookstore where the cartoonist Sunny’s autograph session was supposed to be held, a lot of people were gathering and murmuring since morning.

It was because of the words on the large banner hanging at the entrance of the bookstore.

“uh? what? Are you not having an autograph session today?”

“Yeah. What’s happening?”

“Then yesterday’s autograph session ended?”

“What are you doing all the time? I came here early in the morning on purpose.”

He grumbles as he stares at the banner to see if he is really annoyed.

Then the others looked at the bookstore with similar expressions and said:

“Then you won’t be able to see Sunny’s face forever? He said he doesn’t come to Japan often because he’s Korean.”

“It’s the saddest thing at a time like this that Sunny is not Japanese.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“You don’t do autographs in Korea, do you?”

“I don’t know.”

“I heard you said that you weren’t very well known because you weren’t active in Korea at all?”

“Really? Where did you hear about that?”

“What about Masato?”

“That kid is really bluffing. That is unbelievable.”

“right. How can you believe that a manga artist this popular in Japan is not known at all in Korea?”

“Anyway, it’s really annoying. I really wanted to get an autograph.”

“The guy who said he saw Sunny’s face said he was like an idol.”

“It is not. surely. Even idols.”

“I thought it was weird too. Who is pretty among the cartoonists?”

“It is.”

“It is disappointing, disappointing. What if we cancel without notice like this?”

So, while people were complaining under the banner, a few employees came out with an A-type ladder from the front door. And immediately started putting a new fabric under the banner.

There, the autograph session was postponed until tomorrow, and there was a message written that the location was “Nippon Budokan”.

“Isn’t it completely canceled?”

“uh? Tomorrow, the Nippon Budokan?”

“Oh, wait! Aren’t there supposed to be Kamen Rider events starting tomorrow?”

“okay?”

“right. It is said that all the Kamen Riders who came out until the 2nd season were dispatched to the 15th anniversary event. Are you going to have an autograph session there?”

“Wow, it might be all right there because the place is spacious.”

Then someone questioned it.

“By the way, why Kamen Rider?”

“It seems like the relationship is just because there is a lot of space there. To be honest, this bookstore is too small.”

“I will.”

“I don’t think I am.”

“What are you talking about?”

“The people who came yesterday said that Sunny was wearing a Kamen Rider mask, but what does that have to do with it?”

“Oh, it might be. no wonder. There is no way Sunny would put on such a mask out of nowhere.”

“Anyway, it’s tomorrow afternoon… I have no choice but to take a day off from work tomorrow.”

“I’ll just have breakfast and go.”

“Oh really. I have to go to the reception of the business manager tomorrow, so I can’t miss it.”

“Giggle, I’ll see for you and talk to you.”

“Take your camera and go. If not, I’ll lend you mine. Please take a picture.”

“Hate.”

“Hey!”

The people who had been buzzing like that showed various reactions and started to disperse.

The staff, who saw it, sighed deeply.

“Wow, there have been so many people since morning, so if there was a real autograph session today, the whole building might have been paralyzed.”

“Really. Look over there. Even now, people are flocking in without knowing that the signing event has been cancelled.”

As the staff said, the number of people who flocked to the autograph session continued to increase, and along with it, they were crossing with people who checked the banner and returned to this place.

It was just as spectacular as it was, so I just stared blankly at it.

next day.

“Wow, long time no see.”

He looked up at the Japanese Budokan and said.

Of course, the irony is that the building itself is newer than what I saw.

I saw it when I was living in the future, so it’s only natural.

“Have you ever been here?”

Seonhee asks with her head twisted.

Come to think of it, I always come with Seon-hee when I come to Japan, so it’s a bit strange to see this building separately.

“Oh, I saw the picture. so.”

“Ah.”

Still, I’m glad Seon-hee got over it.

Anyway, the whole area around the Budokan is crowded with people.

There are quite a few people cosplaying Saisai Kamen Rider’s costumes, and children with their parents can be seen wearing cheap plastic masks of Kamen Rider.

Looking to one side, I see vendors selling such things and balloons.

But how come the children wearing masks are like Sadakiyo from the 20th century boys?

But Seon-hee saw that and pulled my sleeve straight up.

“······Why?”

“Buy that.”

“You want to write that?”

“Huh.”

Somehow, in crowded places, they seem to want to hide behind the scenes.

And when she is wearing a mask, she feels a little more free.

Perhaps Seon-hee was always under stress due to her rigid expression and restrained behavior.

I looked at Seon-hee for a while, and then went to the place where they were selling masks.

There were more kinds of masks than I expected.

“What would you like to do?”

“that.”

The mask that Seon-hee chose was ‘Kamen Rider ZX’, the most recent work as of today. It’s not JetX, but Kamen Rider, which should be read as ‘Zekros’. After all, Japan reads English in its own way.

Anyway, the overall shape is red.

Its eyes are green, and it is a mask of a funny face with two antennae.

“Give me that.”

“thank you.”

I took the mask and put it on Seonhee.

Still, it suits me better than the large one I was wearing at the signing event yesterday.

At that time, it was so big that I was anxious and anxious.

“Do you like it?”

Seonhee nodded her head at my question.

It is still the case that words suddenly disappear when you wear a mask.

Then, as if he was trying to express how good he was, he shot loudly, put his hand on his waist like a Kamen Rider, and took a form.

Even a red scarf makes me want to hang it around my neck.

At that time, Jiro, who was near the entrance, found us and ran to us.

“You came early.”

Saying that, she looks back at Seon-hee and smiles.

“Something fits.”

Seonhee shrugged her shoulders at those words.

Seeing that, Jiro laughed and looked at me again.

“Would you like to go right in? Preparations are complete.”

“Then let’s go in. There is nothing to do outside.”

“Follow me. Oh, take this.”

Jiro presented something to Seonhee and me.

A string is connected to a square card.

“Put this around your neck.”

Maybe it’s the official card.

Having received it, I hung one around Seon-hee’s neck, and I also hung one. Then he went straight inside along Jiro.

As I entered the ballroom, I saw a crowd of bustling people.

Just like the Tokyo Big Sight where the Comiket is held, there are a lot of people cosplaying.

The women who help the event are also guiding people in sexy Kamen Rider-style outfits.

On the big stage in the center, they are matching each other’s actions whether they’re rehearsing for a Kamen Rider play. One of the fun things about coming to Japan is that sometimes there are a lot of these types of plays on the streets.

Anyway, Seon-hee is looking at it blankly, wearing a mask to see if it’s funny.
