“Why is it to help people? There must have been a lot of victims.”

“Isn’t it so absurd?”

“Well, anyway, that’s why Ryo Chiba follows him.”

“…well, is it okay to proceed like that? The subject is radioactive. If you push it in like that, you will just die.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Because Kishi Yamato doesn’t die that easily.”

“What kind of superman are you? Don’t die from radiation. Well, he says it’s dangerous to wear protective clothing.”

“He just needs to tell the story so that he doesn’t die somehow.”

Kido exclaimed confidently.

In fact, this episode is not particularly special since it is a comic book characterized by a forceful development that makes you think it would be too much except for the fact that even a genuine man is hot-blooded.

Up until now, the story is a character who is still alive even in situations where he should have died dozens of times if he was a normal human being.

At times, it felt as tenacious as Tom and Jerry.

“Then, did you get any materials related to Ukraine?”

“No, it’s not that important. It is important that people live there.”

“·················ogue.”

Nishida, who was speechless, looked at her with a blank expression, but either way, Kido was alone and excited.

“Hmm. Yes it was good.”

Having said that, he took out his notebook and began to write diligently on something.

Seeing Kido suddenly become ambitious, Nishida grinned.

Well, in any case, I was satisfied that I got him involved in this way.

Then he pulled out a can of soda from the plastic bag he had placed on the table. Then he immediately removed the can lid and placed it on Kido’s desk.

Then Kido, who was writing, reflexively picks it up and pours it into his mouth.

Then one of the fishermen saw it and widened his eyes.

“Uh, uh! Come on, sir! that!”

At that moment, Kido’s expression hardened as he put down his drink.

Then, looking at the drink that was still in his hand, he made a strong impression on him.

“Hey, damn it! You are this child!”

He said that and looked straight at Nishida.

“Huh? why?”

Nishida, who did not understand what was going on, put on a puzzled expression on her face.

At that moment, blood stood on Kido’s forehead.

Then he hurriedly left the studio in a slumped posture.

When Nishida looked back at the fishermen asking what the situation was, everyone laughed awkwardly.

Then, one of the fishermen opened their mouth.

“Now, Mr. Kido, if you drink soda, you get diarrhea.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Even if I can’t eat the food my wife makes for one day, that’s why…”

“·················ogue.”

* * *

“Yeah. Goodbye then.”

She answered and hung up the phone.

“Oh, Goku was saved by Android 8. General White is this bad boy! But the android is cute.”

Kyunghee is sitting on the sofa in the living room and smiling while flipping through the latest issue of Boy Jump.

From what I’m talking about, it looks like Dragon Ball.

The story of the first fight with the Red Ribbon Army is currently in progress.

Anyway, it was time for everyone to leave, so the studio was quiet, and Seon-hee, Kyung-hee, and I were the only three left.

“Brother, did you just talk to Toriyama-sensei?”

“uh.”

“What do you say?”

“Ah, because of the short story.”

“snippet? I’m serializing right now, why? Is the Dragon Ball series over?”

“No, not that. He said he would do a short film with his colleagues sooner or later.”

I heard it’s an important short story, but I don’t know the specifics.

Well, it’s natural because you don’t have to tell me about it, but I’m still curious.

“What event do you have?”

“Well, I don’t know. Well, it seems to be an event held by the Shueisha family.”

“Ah.”

Kyung-hee, who nodded her head, soon rummaged through the boy jump again.

Then the phone rang again.

“I’ll take it.”

After saying that, Kyunghee runs to the phone.

“Hello.”

– ·········.

“Ah, Kido oppa! long time no see.”

– ·········.

“I am not busy with exams these days. By the way, Oppa’s grades have dropped a lot these days, so work hard.

– ·········!

Kyung-hee stifles a laugh at what she hears.

“okay okay. I’ll change you.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

After saying that, Kyunghee looks at me.

“Oppa, call me from Kido oppa.”

I handed the phone and opened my mouth.

“I changed my phone.”

– Hahaha, Nada Kido-nim.

“uh. It’s been a long time bro. But what is going on at this hour?”

– I was visiting Nishida a few days ago.

He started like that, and then he recounted what he had been up to.

But when he heard what Nishida had said, he was startled.

“What? Radioactive fragments?”

Do you want to make a short film about radioactivity?

Also with the intention of sharing a little bit of swearing I will eat.

Recently, I heard that Esper John finished third in the questionnaire after Samsara. When Samsara is finished, she will rise to second place, and if Persona of Despair ends, she may become the sole number one.

So, I thought you were focusing on the story for a while.



Well, even though various groups are attacking, honestly, it’s hard to feel such a thing here in Korea. Still, there’s nothing particularly difficult about it, but I’m thankful that you think of it that way.

– okay. It seems that the guy has risen in the ranks these days and has gone up one level by the railroad.

He smiled as he said that, and soon opened his mouth again.

– So I try to participate in a similar way.

“Your brother wrote a short story?”

– No, short stories are the same, I just wanted to make a new episode.

“A new episode? Are you going to include radiation-related episodes in the story of a serious man?”

– right. Thanks to Nishida, but an interesting episode came to mind.

“But, do you really need to make an episode like that?”

– It’s not just because of you, so there’s no need to feel burdened.

It’s more embarrassing to say that.

– by the way. It’s fun…

“···········?”

– I heard that other manga artists are doing this short that Nishida started.

“Any other cartoonists?”

– okay. From what I’ve heard, it seems like a short story event was started by the boys’ magazine or the boy’s jump side.

At that moment, I remembered the conversation I had with Akira Toriyama earlier.


He also said that several cartoonists make short stories and make a magazine as an event to publish them. But maybe that’s it?

“How do you know?”

– Nishida The guy told me. He seems to have met some cartoonists who share the same idea with him not too long ago. There, they said that cartoonists should be alert to this Chernobyl problem and say something. Of course, as a result, it is a symbol of dispersing the arrows that will fall on you.

say so and laugh

– Well, it seems that the number of people who want to participate has increased after going through several people. Anyway, that guy, when it comes to you and Sunny’s work, he’s more involved than his own.

One of the editorial staff asked Otage, who was in charge of the Esper Zone.

“Hey Otake. Is Nishida-sensei’s short story really good?”

The news that this Nishida’s short story was coming out had already spread in the editorial department.

After getting permission from the editor for the short story, I was about to receive the finished manuscript.

“Yeah. Since Nishida-sensei is drawing a manga other than the Psychic Zone for the first time, I have to support her as the person in charge.”

“But, it’s about radiation. This could be noisy.”

“Well, Sunny is doing it too. And that’s why Nishida-sensei did it too.”

The employee, with a surprised expression on his face, asked in a quiet voice.

“Hey, I heard rumors too. I heard that Nishida-sensei likes Sunny-sensei that much, no way…”

“That’s true, but to be precise, I like Mr. Tengen more than Mr. Sunny. And that means respect.”

“Oh, was that so?”

I thought there was going to be an interesting story, but it’s not, it’s the expression of disappointment.

Seeing that, Otage frowned.

Seeing Otake’s expression like that, the staff coughed as if noticing it.

“Oh. I have to go to the sales department.”

Having said that, I immediately grabbed my bag and left the editorial department.

Otake, who glanced at him, took out the manuscript immediately.

The envelope is sealed with tape.

The first manuscript that I did not see the continuity as a person in charge.

He himself did not know the exact contents of the short story.

I just heard Nishida say that she was inspired by the Persona of Despair.

He ripped the tape and opened the envelope. Then I carefully pulled out the manuscript and read it slowly one by one.

As the writer of Esper John, the content seems to be sci-fi.

And this content is…

A society in the distant future where the entire earth is contaminated with radioactivity and is headed for destruction.

Pollution that started in Japan eventually spread to other countries, and even uranium from nuclear bombs discarded by the Soviet Union and the United States was exposed to the outside, so there are not many places where people can live now.

So, it was a short story about the few remaining humans until they escaped the earth.

However, there is no dream or hope that all of them will eventually perish due to the ugly greed of those who represent the remaining human beings.

“Is this okay?”

After reading everything, Otake looked down at the manuscript with a blank expression.

swearing is half if shared (3)

A few days later, on the evening that Boy Hero was published, the cafe where people from the Manga Research Society gathered was noisy with stories about a new short story.

“I often interviewed Nishida that she likes Sunny’s cartoons, but this time, I drew a short story about the destruction of the earth due to radiation. Like a human who usually writes dark stories, he ended up destroying them all.”

“When I saw that, I thought of Ideon. Tomino of annihilation. Ah, Ideon, the more I think about it, the more my heart aches. Why would you make a cartoon like that? I was traumatized by that.”

“right. Tomino, that human, you ended up doing something like that in Z Gundam, which ended a while ago. Wouldn’t that make Camille an idiot, because Char went missing in space while riding on a sack that was just destroyed. It seems crazy.”

“Because of that, there wasn’t even a fuss about girls committing suicide before. sha is dead Char’s popularity right now is really unusual.”

“Well, it’s kind of like Joe’s death.”

Many people nodded their heads at that.

But soon they returned to the story of Nishida’s short story.

“Anyway, this time Nishida’s manga is still a short story, so I think it’s better. If you finish a feature film, especially the Esper Zone, which is currently serialized that way, you’ll be beaten to death by the fans.”

“I honestly thought it was the beginning of the Psychic Zone when I saw it.”

“Huh? This is the beginning, where are you going?”

“The setting of Esper Zone is not Earth, but a galaxy far away, like Star Wars. There, the Espers are all humanoid. If only humanoids were espers in an extraterrestrial world, not Earth, wouldn’t it be that they were all from Earth?”

“Oh, that interpretation is possible.”

Then another man intervened.

“Hey, so are all the humanoids in Star Wars Earthlings? The main character, Luke, is also an Earthling, Han Solo is also an Earthling, and Princess Leia is also an Earthling.”

“Yeah, it’s not.”

“It comes out like that because he is a humanoid in the first place, so he can immerse himself in it, and it would be strange to interpret that humanoid is unconditionally an Earthling. To be honest, can you immerse yourself in a protagonist who is not human?”

“What are you talking about? There are also cartoons where animals are the main characters. There is also the famous silver silver (Eunah, flowing star silver). Heavenly feet!”

Saying so, he violently rotates his hands in an exaggerated motion.

People around them laughed when they saw it.

“By the way, to be honest, radioactivity is nothing special. There are plenty of cartoons set in a future where the earth is destroyed by nuclear war. Although Future Boy Conan had a special concept of a super-magnetic weapon.”

“It’s not like nuclear war. This is the beginning of the incident caused by the destruction of a nuclear power plant. And that Japan was the starting point, that is, when Japan became the beginning of the destruction of the whole world. It’s become a complete impoverished country. And Future Girl Conan is a weapon that destroys the earth’s crust, so it has nothing to do with radiation.”

“Isn’t the earth really going to be destroyed at the end of the century? The prophecies of Nostradamus are also disgusting.”

“Why is Nostradamus here?”

“Anyway, if this happens, will various groups attack Nishida?”

“Ah, that’s not it. Sunny’s work had a big impact. It’s not easy in a short story. And the awareness is different.”

“Is that so?”

“It is said that only people from the Manga Research Society like us are paying attention.”

“Well. There will be no tea like this.”

However, after a week, something unexpected happened.

A number of short stories to raise awareness about the dangers of radiation have appeared in magazines that are not boy heroes.

‘The One Jump’, published as a special magazine by Shonen Jump, was the starting point.

Since this magazine was published as an event, there is no continuity, but in the meantime, manga artists from Shueisha magazines, including Shonen Jump, participated in short stories, drawing attention to the entire comics world.

First of all, it was an event held by a large magazine with a different size than the boy hero, so various newspapers and TV broadcasts were also interested.
