1983 Past Life Manga King

“It would be. Probably because a lot of people are looking forward to the next work. Thanks to that, Akagi-san said he is still busy.”

“Today, Akagi-san. The dark circles under the eyes are very thick, are you okay?”

“Oh right. Who was that new female employee before? Did she say her name is Momoko?”

“Yes. Momoko Izumi.”

“Why can’t you see 😬? Akagi-san, didn’t you say you were an assistant?”

At that, her junior staff member glanced around and spoke in a quiet voice.

“It seems that Akagi-san refused.”

“What? Are you busy with work? But why? It’s so pretty over there.”

“Yeah, I don’t know.”

“Then where did the newbie go?”

“It seems that he has been assigned to another department. Design magazine side.”

“Eh? Why are you there all of a sudden?”

“I heard you weren’t interested in manga from the beginning. But there are not enough people here.”

“So, you sent it to Akagi-san.”

“no. As soon as they arrived, they asked me to help Akagi-san.”

“Well, he’s the best editor in our editorial department, so it’s natural. Anyway, if he doesn’t exist, are we going to pick him up again?”

“It doesn’t look like that. It seems that Kawada-san is helping out from time to time these days.”

At that, the senior employee was surprised.

“Did you? Somehow, I see it often these days. Anyway, I’m so envious. Akagi-san has so many beautiful women around.”

“Iknow, right. I want to work like that.”

When the junior staff spoke with a look that almost looked like crying, the senior patted him on the shoulder.

“So do i. However, the level of the teacher in charge is different. If we, too, are in charge of teachers like Sunny and Tengen, that day might come.”

At those words, the junior shrugged his shoulders even more.

“I would rather win the lottery.”

At that, the senior employee nodded his head.

“right. yes.”

Then the junior tilted his head.

“But it’s strange.”

“what?”

“This one. this.”

A colleague pointed out a specific scene as he was looking through some of the promotional prints that would appear in the magazine.

It was Jack’s right hand.

“Why is this?”

“I think this hand had a machine gun on it earlier, didn’t it?”

“uh? Then I saw it.”

In other scenes, there is clearly a scene in which he stretches out his right hand and fires a machine gun. However, in the scene the junior pointed out, his hands are intact.

“Ah, this. It looks like that psycho gun from Cobra.”

“By the way, look at this scene.”

“uh? Different guns?”

“right? Different types of guns. I’m sure it’s the same machine gun, but there’s something similar to a cannon underneath. It looks like a grenade launcher.”

“Yes. Does this mean that guns change too?”

“It looks like that. Wow, there must be a lot of fighting with gunpowder weapons that is different from Samsara.”

“It feels like a title, this.”

“Iknow, right. If we just support the story, we might be as popular as Samsara again.”

Machine Gun Jack (6)

An old annex of a university in Tokyo.

An old club room in the corner.

At the entrance, the name ‘Manga Research Group’ is attached.

There were several men and women gathered indoors, most of them chatting while reading comic books or drawing cartoons.

“I thought Hayao Miyazaki’s new work was pretty good? To be honest, last time Nausicaa was too heavy, but I felt a bit sad that the ending was too rough, but this time Laputa was quite light, but it was quite fun. The concept was good.”

“The concept art for Laputa was already published in a magazine three years ago. Of course, what was revealed at that time was a mixture of Nausicaa and Laputa.”

“It was a comic box, maybe?”

“Yeah, it came out in 1983. It must be the February or March issue.”

“I read that too. This was the synopsis that Miyazaki submitted during the Japanese-American collaboration Little Square.”

“It is again. I submitted it and it bounced, so I submitted it as a concept for an NHK TV animation, but that was another car.”

“So, I was frustrated, so I personally gathered people this time, received support from Tokuma Shoten, and made a production company, and Laputa was the first production of it.”

“right. It was a project that would have been impossible if Nausicaa had not succeeded.”

“By the way, seeing this Laputa reminded me of Future Boy Conan. In particular, Sita has the same personality as Lana.”

“Well, I heard that Miyazaki’s favorite image of a woman is a strong one. Especially Nausicaa was the pinnacle of strength.”

“By the way, the robot from Laputa made a strong impression on me. quite memorable And the flaptor that flew like a dragonfly.”

“The Laputa robot is similar to the one from ‘Lupin the Third’ before. Perhaps it was influenced there.”

“The robot that originally appeared in Lupine the Third was also taken from an episode of Superman, an old classic American anime.”

“Damn, wasn’t that the original?”

“Where are the originals these days? They all influence each other and develop.”

“Well.”

That was when Hayao Miyazaki’s new work, Laputa, the castle in the sky, was blossoming. Suddenly the door swung open and a fat, spectacled man came in and shouted.

“News! News!”

The man who came in like that fell to the floor with a loud noise as if his legs were twisted at the entrance.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Because of this, the people gathered were startled, and then they started yelling and shouting.

“Yeah, then I got really badly hurt. Let’s go for a little bit.”

“right. And don’t open the door so harshly! It’s an old door, so it’s still a bit of a mess.”

“Even if the door is broken at school, we will fix it at our own expense. So, open it up a little.”

Everyone scolded him, but the man who had fallen got up and shook his head with a look of no concern. Then one screamed as blood trickled down his nose.

“Hey, Kofi!”

“Come on, here’s the tissue.”

Then, the man who received it roughly wiped the nosebleed that was dripping from his nose.

“Wipe well. Don’t be shy.”

But despite such a reaction, the fat man hurriedly opened his mouth, as if his mouth was itching.

“That’s not important. I have some really great news.”

“It doesn’t matter, what do you mean? The dues don’t cover the cost of repairing the door.”

“right. It’s too late to buy comic books.”

“I’ve been on the fence about buying The Legend of Zelda recently.”

As the people grumbled, the fat man waved his hand and calmed them down again.

“It’s important news.”

Even after that, the colleagues still reacted with bitterness.

“I know, you mean Laputa? that we all saw You are rather late.”

“okay. You too, stop fussing and have a discussion.”

“I’m really, Nozaki Zane, because I’m always one step behind like that.”

Soon after that, a fat man named Lao Zaki put his hand on his waist and snorted his nose.

“I’ve already seen Laputa.”

“Oh, right? So what’s the news?”

“Isn’t it supposed to be the movie version of Galfors Eternal Story?”

“I’ve already seen that. Don’t ignore people.”

“Then what are you talking about?”

“It’s not about animation. It’s a new cartoon.”

“A new cartoon? What will come out?”

They looked at each other like that, but mostly just shrugged.

Seeing this, Nozaki raised the corner of his mouth and raised his chin up.

“Okay, I guess you didn’t know about this news.”

“Stop being pretentious and tell me what the news is. Whatever it is, I promise.”

Nozaki, who was not at all discouraged by such threats, smiled and opened his mouth.

“Sunny’s new work!”

Most of the people in the crowd stopped at that word, but then jumped up.

“What! New one!”

“already! Is that certain information?”

“It hasn’t been promoted in Boy Hero magazine yet, how do you know that?!”

As if he had expected such a reaction, Nozaki still crossed his arms with an arrogant expression on his face.

“Have I ever told you that one of my older brother’s friends works in the editorial department of a boy hero?”

“I never said anything like that. Anyway, don’t talk too much, let’s talk!”

“Yeah, come on, come on!”

“Don’t say useless things, just talk to the point!”

As the people rose up like a swarm of bees, Laozi Qi quickly backed away and nodded his head quickly.

“okay okay.”

Still, he seemed to like the reactions of his colleagues, so he changed his expression to a supportive expression again.

“There will be an article about the new work in the next magazine that will come out after this Boy Hero Combination issue. They said that only the editorial staff saw it and it was not known outside.”

“Come on, let’s stop talking.”

“You wanna die!”

“Okay. Don’t rush too much.”

After saying that, he cleared his throat and spoke again.

“I heard that Sunny’s new work is an adventure fantasy. It also feels light.”

At that, everyone looked puzzled.

“A light adventure fantasy? It’s a little different from Samsara.”

“Yeah. I thought the sequel was going to be very dark.”

“Is it something like Dragon Quest?”

Then Laozi Ki waved his hand.

“It’s not a medieval fantasy, it’s like Mad Max in a desert setting with the scientific power of the 1800s and early 1900s. Well, it doesn’t feel like the Fist of the Hokuto. In the case of mechanical design, they said that it resembles Akira Toriyama’s detailed style that feels like a cover painting, and that the character character feels like Samsara’s character has softened a bit.”

“Oh, it feels strangely good, doesn’t it?”

“Well, I don’t know. Sunny’s strength is realism.”

“I look forward to it. If Tengen and Sunny work together again this time, a good work will come out in one way or another.”

“Yeah, of course we worked together. They are siblings.”

“I don’t know. Siblings usually fight well.”

“It also depends on the person. Seeing them work together like this in the first place, they seem to have a good relationship.”

“That’s what fans like us want. If it’s a combination of the two, I’m looking forward to something great coming out.”

“Is the anticipation for the new work already rising?”

“Didn’t you say it will come out after the publicity article combo issue?

“uh. So about a week left.”

“Oh, I’m curious, really.”

“I also.”

They all shrugged their shoulders and nodded their heads in agreement.

* * *

It has already been a week since the vacation that started right after going to a group picnic, and today is the day to start working.

My family and I have been to Jeju Island.

Of course, my sister and Kyung-hee couldn’t let go of their books even on vacation due to college entrance exams.

However, the week I spent as a guest house near the beach wasn’t that bad.

My sister and twins, who had no experience of living in the countryside except for their mother, seemed to enjoy the new experience.

Anyway, after returning yesterday, the whole family was limp, probably because of the aftereffects of the vacation.

Of course, so do I.

Of course, today was work day, so I left early, but I was lying on the sofa.

By the way, Seon-hee looks tired when she arrives, but when she comes to the studio and starts painting, she is full of vitality like fresh flowers.

He seems to be the happiest living just painting.

“Good morning.”

“Good morning.”

The fishermen greeted each other and entered the studio.

Seeing them coming together, it seems like they met while they were coming.

But they all look tired just like our family.

Then, as soon as they entered the studio and sat down, they started chatting.

“Ah, it was harder to rest. I’m just tired. Still, it was fun.”

“I went to see Uromeae together, because Junmo was so terrified, but I thought I was going to die because there were so many people. Still, it was more fun than I expected. Junmo liked it too.”

“That’s what boys like these days. Junmo 7 years old, right?”

“Yeah.”

“I will be going to school in a few months.”

“I saw that. Gounis. The Asian guy from Indiana Jones came out, and it was really fun.”

“I saw it too. And the Aliens of Horror and the Witness of Harrison Ford.”

“If it’s Harrison Ford, isn’t it Indiana Jones?”

“Yeah. Yes. He also appeared in Star Wars.”

“I haven’t seen Star Wars, so I don’t know.”

“What did you see, Silver Brother?”

At So-mi Park’s words, Silver scratched his head with a confused expression.

“I didn’t see anything. I just came back from hanging out at my house in Busan. There’s nothing I want to see. Well, if you really want to see it, you can watch it on video in the studio.”

“Still, seeing it in the theater is different from watching it on video.”
