1983 Past Life Manga King

Out of curiosity, I went up to the manga room.

On the wall on the side of the stairs going up, there are posters of the main story comics.

At least the owner of the cartoon room manages it well. Most of it is neat, but the stairs uphill are dark and it makes me feel uneasy.

However, when you open the door and enter, it is quite spacious, and the light blue personal sofa, and the atmosphere is cozy.

I don’t think it was when I first came to this era, but now somehow I feel like I’m getting used to this kind of atmosphere.

Am I slowly becoming obsolete?

I opened the door and walked in and the smell of cigarettes hit me.

“welcome.”

The host aunt didn’t even turn her head, and greeted her with a habitual feeling.

No, I thought she was an aunt, but she’s a young woman with frizzy hair and thick horn-rimmed glasses.

She looks like she’s in her mid-20s.

He doesn’t seem to care about his surroundings at all because he’s reading comics, but Gicheok seems to feel it instinctively.

Considering she looks a bit young to be the owner, she may be part-timer or helping her parents.

In any case, it feels oddly suited to a cartoon room filled with hazy cigarette smoke.

what?

She indulges in a useless delusion about a woman she has no relationship with.

She smiled bitterly.

Come to think of it, I’m used to cigarette smoke too.

You don’t smell cigarette smoke only in the Japanese room, but when you go outside, most of the indoor places are filled with cigarette smoke.

Needless to say, there are tons of people smoking on the streets.

Well, that’s not important.

Shall I fall into the joy of reading comic books as a fan after a long time?

I looked at the book from the place where I had collected new books, and something is subtle.

For some reason, it is the fact that there are a lot of cartoons with unfamiliar titles, even among familiar cartoonists.

Even though I didn’t see all of the cartoonists at that time, I knew to some extent the titles released by well-known cartoonists. Nevertheless, most of the titles are unfamiliar.

When I took out one book at a time, some of the contents were familiar and some were not.

After all, as I moved into this era, it seems that I had a lot of influence on the Korean comics world in one way or another.

“Hey, it’s hard to look at it that long.”

The horn-rimmed woman still didn’t turn her head and spoke in a cold tone.

Oh, oh my.

This is not a bookstore.

Even if you take a quick glance, you can see at least one book quickly.

I think I’ve come across a lot of people like that.

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

Having said that, I looked around the titles of the comics and found a comic with a strangely familiar feel.

The title is ‘a real man’.

A title that reminds me of a man of sincerity.

But the cover drawing is familiar.

It is very similar to Kido’s figure.

Is it a pirate cartoon?

Once I pulled out ten books and paid for it, I took a seat on a suitable sofa and sat down.

He’s a pirate and Nabal, and he’s been thinking about seeing a sincere man from the beginning after a long time.

And I wondered what the level of interpretation was.

Surprisingly, many of the pirated comics published during this time had a much higher level of translation than the official version that came out later.

I was thinking about this and that and trying to open the book, but the horn-rimmed woman put a bottle of yogurt in front of me and went back to her seat.

There were places that gave ice cream in other comic rooms, and there were places that gave a drink called Cool XX.

Anyways, I opened the book while poking around at the yogurt.

As soon as I read it, I knew right away that it wasn’t a pirated cartoon.

It’s just that it’s a cartoon that imitates Kido’s drawing style and has a similar title.

However, the problem was the tracing scene that appeared in the middle.

The storyline is clearly different from Kido’s manga, but the basic concept, progression, and main character and character are almost the same.

What’s strange is that even though these can only be called plagiarized cartoons, they are appearing in the script like this.

Haha, plagiarism was a problem that came up frequently even when I was living.

Anyway, I couldn’t concentrate at all on the box where familiar scenes appeared frequently, so I closed the comic book after reading a few books.

It was quite uncomfortable to look at, but what would Kido have said if he saw it?

I wouldn’t have said, ‘After all, Korea is an underdeveloped country for comics’ because of his yangban personality, but it wouldn’t be a very pleasant feeling.

Maybe he giggled and said, ‘Is it a miracle that a genius like Sunny came out of Korea?’

Anyway, I got up from my seat with a sense of uneasiness.

Today, after a long time, I felt like a fan and tried to watch cartoons, but I didn’t feel like watching cartoons anymore because I saw something useless from the beginning.

So I got up and went to the door to get out.

But then.

“excuse me.”

The horn-rimmed woman called me.

She stopped and turned around to answer.

“Yeah?”

“Are you just going without reading the book? Isn’t it fun?”

“Oh, what. Just. I don’t really want to see you.”

“Okay, isn’t that cartoon weird?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Yeah?”

Do you know that Keydo is a plagiarism work that is made by mixing the manga in moderation?

“It’s strange. content. content is irrelevant. I was pretty good at drawing.”

“Ah.”

It wasn’t plagiarism, I just meant it was weird.

Seriously, I just traced the cartoon scenes and mixed them up, so it’s probably natural for the content to be weird.

When I understood her words and nodded her head, her horn-rimmed woman said with a small smile.

“As expected, I was a little worried from the moment I picked that manga. Can I recommend one?”

recommendation?

Soon I smiled and shook my head.

“No, it is. just······.”

“I won’t take any money.”

“·················ogue.”

Before I could answer, the horn-rimmed woman stood up and rummaged through the collection of her comic books. Then he pulled out a book and held it out to me.

“Have you seen this?”

It is not a comic book for a general script, but a comic book published by a serial magazine.

It’s a manga that doesn’t fit the script, but… more than that.

I was surprised because it was a familiar cartoon.

It was Kang Yong-cheol’s debut work, ‘Orion’s Leopard’, which he serialized in Boys’ Kyungyang.

This is the early work that Park Sang-sik and I wrote the story.

I heard the book sold some.

By the way, it’s strangely memorable.

But when the horn-rimmed woman looked at my expression like that, she asked straight away.

“uh? Do you know the work?”

“Ah yes. little bit.”

Actually, I know a lot.

Even though they didn’t appear in the manga, there were many stories that disappeared.

The woman smiled and asked if she was feeling well.

“Is this okay?”

“Oh, what. It’s okay.”

It’s a bit embarrassing for me to say.

“Yeah, you recognize the work.”

While saying that, the people who read comics glanced at this side, and the horn-rimmed woman spoke softly again.

“It’s a pity that a few books didn’t come out. I wish there were more of these things.”

He looks really sad.

At first, he seemed a bit cold, but he’s surprisingly kind-hearted.

Seriously, in a place like this, only rough men would have dealt with.

“Iknow, right.”

It was an early work, and I heard that it was quite popular, but I didn’t think anyone would remember it yet. Even if it’s SF.

However, the horn-rimmed woman remembered something, so she looked for something on the bookshelf again and brought back two books that looked like comics.

And then he put it out again.

“This is the next work drawn by the cartoonist who drew the leopard in Orion, have you seen this?”

“Yeah.”

of course i saw

One is ‘Space General’, which is being serialized in Treasure Castle, and the other is ‘Black Star’, which is being serialized in Shoulder Alumni.

In particular, in the case of Black Star, it is Kang Yong-cheol’s original story, and I heard that the response was quite good.

By the way, are you a fan of this woman Kang Yong-cheol?

Kang Yong-cheol would be very happy to hear this.

Is that older brother already 38 this year?

I don’t know if it was the time when I was living, but now is the age of quite an old bachelor.

I’m going to start dating a little bit now that I’m making more money than I used to.

I’m worried about Kang Yong-cheol because I suddenly think about it.

The horn-rimmed woman tilted her head as if I had put on a bitter expression.

“why? Wasn’t this fun?”

Startled, I waved my hand and said.

“No, it’s fun.”

“By the way······.”

“I was thinking about something else for a while.”

“Ah.”

The horn-rimmed woman nodded her head.

But she had a strangely satisfied expression on her face and she spoke again with a bright expression.

“Then other comics are fine, would you like to pick one?”

“Aren’t you going to recommend anything else?”

“There are a lot of other things that are good. Choose in moderation.”

What is it, except for the cartoons drawn by Kang Yong-cheol?

I asked with a smile.

“Did you recommend only Kang Yong-cheol, a cartoonist?”

The woman was startled by my words.

“uh? Do you know the real name of the cartoonist of steel?”

“······Yeah. What.”

“Wow, you really are a fan. Would you like it?”

“Yeah?”

What do you mean?

who do you like

But it was then.

The door to the manga room opened and a man entered.

“I’m here.”

Seeing him like that, the woman greeted him warmly.

“welcome. brother.”

“uh. okay.”

The man who said so and I made eye contact.

And he and I were amazed at the same time.

“uh?”

“···································································!

He was Kang Yong-cheol, a cartoonist who was just talking to the horn-rimmed woman.

that season? (2)

“Uh, are you Yunhwan? What’s going on here?”

“Somehow, this is a neighborhood close to our studio.”

“Oh. It did.”

Kang Yong-cheol nodded his head.

The horn-rimmed woman was startled by such a reaction and looked at me and Kang Yong-cheol in turn.

“Oh, do you know my brother?”

Kang Yong-cheol nodded his head at the horn-rimmed woman’s question.

“Huh? uh. Of course. I am the younger brother that the manga made.”

“Yeah? Can you make me a cartoonist?”

The horned woman looks at me again with her surprised face.

“To make my brother into a cartoonist, I think he’s a bit young to be the president of a publishing company.”

He looked me up and down and was startled when our eyes met.

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

Kang Yong-cheol giggled and laughed.

“What is the publisher’s boss?”

But, perhaps because of the noise near the entrance, the customers of the comics room glanced at this place. with a slightly uncomfortable expression.
