1983 Past Life Manga King

As the curtains open, bright light pours into the room.

Well, thanks to Seon-hee yesterday, the room looks just okay.

I checked the large work table in the center of the room.

Most of the manuscript work is almost finished.

The background work for some pages has not been finished yet, but I think it will be roughly finished by the end of today.

“Ugh.”

Perhaps thanks to the bright light, Kang Yong-cheol wakes up with a crumbly mourning. Then he rubs his eyes and looks at me.

“It’s Yunhwan.”

“Did you do more than you thought?”

“uh. Common sense helped me a lot until dawn.”

He looks at Park Sang-sik, who is still unconscious and asleep, and smiles.

“Still, he’s a guy with quite a bit of studio experience, so his background skills are still alive.”

“Ssangsik hyung, he said he didn’t even get any money from that studio.”

“Well, it was. My drawing speed was so slow that I ended up eating in the studio. In the end, that’s why I came out on my own.”

Kang Yong-cheol smiles awkwardly and scratches his head.

“Stop being sad, and have some.”

“Oh, I was still hungry while I was sleeping.”

“I thought so.”

“Still, you are quick-witted.”

After saying that, he shakes Park Sang-sik to wake him up.

“Hey, common sense. get up Hwan-yi Yoon bought tteokbokki, oden, and sundae.”

“What are you going to eat?”

After muttering like that, Park Sang-sik jumped up from the floor.

Then he opened his mouth wide and yawned for a long time, and immediately began to eat the sundae.

“Yamma, do you just eat without saying a word? recklessly. Eat together.”

“I don’t know.”

“You bastard.”

Just as the two beggars frantically eat their snacks, the sound of a door opening is heard.

“Who is it?”

Kang Yong-cheol chews sundae and makes a puzzled expression.

Soon the door opened and Seon-hee and Kyung-hee entered the room.

“uh? What’s going on with both of you?”

When I ask in a surprised voice, Kyung-hee giggles.

“Sun-hee said that she would come here, so I followed. Good morning. Oh, common sense oppa, bye.”

Park Sang-sik quickly pretends to be close and shows aegyo after seeing him a few times.

However, seeing Park Sang-sik scratching his head and smiling hard, it seems that his aegyo was paid off.

“Oh, yes.”

“And it looks just like you said. If you don’t tell me, I don’t know.”

Kang Yong-cheol smiles curiously and looks at his twins in turn.

But Kyung-hee came up to me and stabbed me in the side and said in a small voice.

“Brother, is there anything you can do for me?”

“What are you talking about when you come and let me go?”

“Hey…, Seon-hee, they said they gave you pocket money.”

Somehow, when I came in, I said that the form of casting the aegyo skill was questionable, but there was a purpose.

Soon, I glanced at Seon-hee.

However, Seon-hee only looks at the manuscript she is still working on with a gloomy expression.

“I heard that Seon-hee had a ten thousand won bill. When I asked where he came from, he said he gave it to me and burned it all. I heard it was the price of errands.

Oh, you caught the 10,000 won bill.

However, it seems that he did not even talk about the money he would receive from Kang Yong-cheol.

If Kyung Hee hears that story, it is clear that he will do something about it as well.

“Yesterday, you helped me with the work and even cleaned me up.”

“I’m good at cleaning too.”

What are you thinking at this moment?

“Good morning. The manuscript here.”

“uh? did you get it quickly? I knew I wouldn’t have enough time.”

The editorial department of Monthly Shonen Kyungyang magazine.

The editor in charge said as he received the manuscript presented by Yong-cheol Kang.

He is a rookie cartoonist who hastily contacted the cartoonist who was supposed to write the manuscript because he was running out of time because of a sudden punk. However, contrary to her worries, she was surprised that the manuscript was delivered on time.

“With the help of my friends, it was easy to finish.”

“Ah. That’s right.”

Saying that, I take out the manuscript from the envelope.

When I open the picture, the quality is quite good from the first page.

As the acquaintance who introduced me said, I had to admit the painting. Of course, it sounds like speed is an issue, but since it was brought in on time, you don’t have to worry about it anymore.

After all, this will be the last episode.

The editor smiles dryly and nods his head.

“The manuscript was well received. You can go back now.”

“Yeah. Okay.”

Kang Yong-cheol made a slightly regretful expression and then turned around to say hello.

If possible, he would have liked to read the manuscript, but there is no editor who cares so much about newcomers.

After Kang Yong-cheol leaves the editing room, the editor examines the manuscript again.

It is clear at a glance that the drawings are superior to other cartoons. However, it seems that the ability to create a story is much lacking compared to the drawing ability.

In general, such a person is a typical case that is noticed only at first glance and eventually disappears.

Comics are stories before pictures.

If the story is not enough, it is unavoidable that eventually it will be culled.

“It’s a pity that the picture is so good.”

Saying that, he tossed the other manuscripts on the envelope on his desk.

***

“You want to be a cartoonist? Really?”

Seonhee nodded at my words.

You said something was unusual in your eyes, so I was thinking about something like this.

Of course, I was fully anticipating that I wanted to become a cartoonist, but to suddenly make a decision like this and to say things like this to me in an unusual way.

He seems to have been thinking quite a bit on his own.

Anyway, I thought I should talk about this a little bit, so I was also thinking about it, so it’s a good thing.

“Do you really want to be a cartoonist?”

“Huh. When I first started using the pen…, that’s when I decided.”

Did he make a decision in Kang Yong-cheol’s studio?

“Still, I want to do it after I graduate from high school.”

“I want to. Too. Dream too.”

“What dream?”

“Dream of drawing manga, dream of becoming a cartoonist.”

Boy, you’re totally lost.

“And now, I want to help my family.”

“What?”

“I know everyone cared about me. So this time I…”

I usually thought that I had little emotion because I was expressionless and didn’t say anything, but this guy must have always had those things in mind.

“If that’s the case, then I am. You can leave the family to me.”

“Oppa… I want to help.”

“day?”

Seonhee nodded at my words.

How did you feel when you thought of this?

“So, help me. How am I supposed to do it?”
