1983 Past Life Manga King

Seon-hee also looks at me with a sparkling gaze that is different from usual.

I nodded.

“I am interested.”

“Then, can you give me this manuscript?”

“does not matter.”

“And there is one more thing I want to ask you.”

“Yeah. Please tell me.”

“If you make the most of your vacation schedule, you will have about a week to stay in Korea. Until then, can you please complete the short name in one piece?”

“What’s your name?”

“Oh. What’s your name…?”

“I know. Are you talking about Conti?”

“Yeah. Yes. In Japan, they call it a name. By the way, that’s great. You know more than you think.”

It hurts my mouth to tell you again that I’m a fan.

“If you finish your name in a week, what are you going to do with it?”

“This completed manuscript and name. With these two, the publisher will push one more time. As long as you have a good name for a picture like this, it might be possible to convince you.”

Not a bad way.

Of course, sending the manuscript to Japan by international mail is also one way to do it, but it is true that the possibility is much higher if the editor directly comes forward.

I asked Jiro.

“Where are you living now?”

unexpected opportunity (4)

Returning to the hotel, Jiro fell into trouble with excitement.

“Did I get impatient?”

I was fascinated by the drawing skills of the girl I met today and asked for a name without thinking about it, but I wasn’t sure if it was the right decision.

There is no problem with drawing skills, even if you judge it soberly. Except for the slightly awkward directing, he has unbelievable drawing skills for his age.

But, can that alone really establish a place as a manga artist in Japan?

If you think about it that way, you can’t just think about it in a simple way.

Today’s Japan is nothing short of the heyday of manga artists.

The competition is fierce as there are comics that set a record sales record of 2.2 million copies in the first edition of the book.

Can you survive in such a place only with pictures?

That alone must be really difficult.

Still, there was a certain certainty in my mind that I didn’t know.

what was it

If it were you, you wouldn’t have made such a hasty decision.

Is it because I am tired after coming to Korea?

In any case, it may be a judgment driven by emotion.

But, on the other hand, an unknown certainty was emerging in his heart.

I don’t know what it is.

Maybe it’s just a delusion, maybe it’s because I found something in the girl.

Anyway, for now, I have no choice but to wait a week.

And it is not too late to make a final decision based on the name.

If this excitement was a simple misunderstanding, you should politely apologize and end it. But if not, I thought I’d give it a try.

Because all I had to do with Weekly Shonen Tobu was to do the work of the cartoonist teacher in charge.

I want to discover a talented rookie who is hidden just like when I first joined the company and make him the best cartoonist. Currently, Tobu is just such a third-class juvenile manga magazine in Japan, but he also has a dream of transcending it with his own hands.

Jiro’s mind, sitting by the window, looking down at the city, was cluttered with various thoughts.

***

You need a story with an impact.

What would be good?

Although Seon-hee is a child with great talent for drawing, the story is a different matter.

In the comics world, there are a lot of writers who can’t be published even with great drawing skills. It is similar to the case of not being able to become a singer even with excellent singing ability.

Overcoming absurd odds, I achieved a miracle of meeting the editor of a Japanese manga publishing company in the middle of Seoul.

For now, we must unconditionally create a proper storyline at this opportunity.

I am in a lot of trouble, and Seon-hee, who has been drawing all the time, is looking at me at some point.

“······Why?”

“Conti.”

“uh. okay. Why?”

“Is that important?”

“then. In terms of a building, it’s like a blueprint.”

“blueprint?”

“okay. What do you think will happen if you build a building without a blueprint?”

“It would be strange.”

“okay. That’s it, and Japanese publishers predict the work ahead of time by looking at this storyline.”

“······Ah.”

He nodded his head in understanding.

“Korean publishers are still relying on personal connections. And most of the cartoonists depend on the script. A monthly magazine specializing in manga has come out, but this is only the beginning.”

“I know a lot. Also······.”

“What?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“no.”

I think he was trying to say something strange again.

“Anyway, it’s a chance for a genius Il-woo.”

“Genius Il-woo, it means that we meet once in a thousand years, which means that it is an opportunity that is difficult to meet.”

“What internet dictionary is this?”

“Internet?”

“········ Anyway, this is a hard-earned opportunity, so you have to pour everything into it.”

At that moment, Seon-hee’s eyes twinkled.

When it comes to cartoons, the eyes themselves change.

“I’ll do what my brother tells me to do.”

“okay?”

“I’ll show you the best way.”

“·················ogue.”

I don’t know what he believes in saying this.

“Just tell me what to do. I will do anything.”

“okay. If you have a mind like that No matter what I do, I will try to make you the best cartoonist.”

At that, Seon-hee nodded her head.

Then the door opens and Kyunghee enters.

“uh? What are you two doing?”

“What are you doing, preparing a new one?”

“Are you really going to make something that Continga does and give it to the Japanese?”

“Of course.”

“Then, isn’t Seon-hee really making a career in Japan? Then it’s a complete family honor.”

“Don’t go too far. Now I have only a small chance.”

“Still, you don’t know.”

“I will go up.”

Seon-hee goes up to the attic soon.

Kyung-hee also follows Seon-hee up to the attic and chats.

“If you make a lot of money, take me with you. got it?”

“·················ogue.”

“Because even a maid would do it.”

“I can’t even clean.”

“Okay then, let’s set the mood. What do you think?”

“I do not need.”

“Don’t do that, write me.”

“·················ogue.”

Listening to the conversation between the two guys makes me laugh out loud.

Anyway, I think you need to think a little bit about the new one.

I went downstairs first.

However, Park Sang-sik’s visit is locked.

“Where did you go?”

In the days when I was here, you can make calls using your mobile phone, but in these days, this is very frustrating. It’s just annoying when it’s time to make contact all of a sudden.

Once out of the gate,

I walked towards the hole shop. And since the bench was empty, I took a seat there like my grandfather in the neighborhood.

What would be a good story?

In fact, there are no new ideas that are perfect for me. First of all, I am not a writer. I’m just a fan of cartoons. However, the important thing is not that kind of situation. Now, anyway, I have to do it.

what would be

What kind of manga are coming out in Japan right now?

If it’s 1984… well, that’s right.

It is time for Akira Toriyama to end the series of ‘Doctor Slump’ and switch to ‘Dragon Ball’.

Come to think of it, it is quite a historic year in the Japanese manga world.

Well, Dragon Ball is also an important year in the history of world comics.

However, in the case of Dragon Ball, it is said that the initial reaction was poor.

Despite the success of the blockbuster ‘Doctor Slump’, Dragon Ball almost stayed at the bottom of the list for a while after the serialization began.

At that time, the popularity of ‘Doctor Slump’ was enormous.

It was about setting a record of exceeding 2 million copies in the first edition for the first time in the history of a manga monograph, so in the meantime, the author said that he did not want to draw any more, so the publisher was very upset.

And the newly released work is Dragon Ball.

This work takes the setting from Journey to the West, introduces Bruce Lee’s martial arts that he likes, and also introduces the seven marbles of ‘Satomi Eight Dogs’. It wasn’t enough, and I tried to introduce a peculiar bizarre scene, but the initial reaction was just apathetic.

If it was the same, he might have finished the serialization early and re-imagined a new work, or made a sequel to the previous hit, Doctor Slump.

However, the production company Toei Animation, which had fun with the Doctor Slump anime, produced an animation at the same time as the Dragon Ball series, so it was forced to continue serialization.

In the end, the editor in charge shouted “Download, Fist of the Hokuto!” and turned it into a battle movie, and in the end, the legendary Dragon Ball was born.

Anyway, Haerani is finally starting to serialize Dragon Ball, which has a legendary sales record of 250 million copies.

By the way, Dragon Ball is a work that has opened up the royal road to the battle of boys’ comics.

It develops indefinitely, and more powerful enemies constantly appear.

The problem, however, is that power inflation is the one that reveals its limits as you go further back.

The balance between the characters is broken in the end because they only become stronger, and if they cross a certain line that they become stronger recklessly, only stories that do not make sense are rife, and the story ends in a dead end.

Anyway, the joy that comes from the process was great, so even in 2018, those kinds of comics continued to come out.

Even the famous One Piece was not free from that problem.

Anyway, this kind of growth-type cartoon is only possible from the standpoint of serialization.

The biggest problem is the shadows.

Seon-hee’s paintings are dark and rough.

Even though I studied the manga of Dongmong and Akira a lot, the picture is too dark. But if the shadows are similar, it’s not like that.

It’s more like an apocalypse than a horror style.

If so, the story may also need a story that suits Seon-hee now.

If it is completely different from the picture, it will feel foreign.

I feel like I’m getting more and more confused as my thoughts keep getting stuck in their tails.

After scratching my head, I immediately went into the corner shop, bought a bag of snack snacks, and sat down on the bench again. However, there are a few places where there is a white snow flag on the top.

“You really are nowhere to be seen.”

But he doesn’t react at all and just stares at me, looking at the sweets this time.

“Yeah, that was the purpose.”

Countless times, he opens the cookie bag, grabs a handful and holds it out in front of him, and he eagerly takes the cookie and eats it. He’s a guy who really doesn’t eat anything.

After he has finished eating, he looks back at the bag of cookies.

“okay. Eat as much as you want. Who will stop?”

Having said that, he left the cookie bag in front of Beksulgi. Then he grabbed the cookie bag and jumped off the floor, and soon disappeared somewhere.

“… it’s ridiculous.”

As he looked in the direction in which he had disappeared, he made an absurd expression. But it was then.

There was something flashing through my mind.

A time loop in which the day repeats itself.

A story that changes the world in one day by correcting mistakes.

There were quite a few movies, cartoons, and novels with this setting, and I decided to create a new story based on it. Then, mix the zombie water.

The cause of the outbreak of zombies is set as a story that changes the future of the protagonist’s house, which eventually perishes as a zombie, into a repeating day.

The story repeats the day and eliminates the virus that causes it, and of course, when the mission is completed, the story returns to a peaceful daily life as if nothing had happened.

Only the main character has experienced it all.

Zombie was already a popular genre in the West, but it doesn’t get much attention in Korea. Of course, in Japan, the zombie genre is still a maniac situation.

It may not be a good choice if it’s a serial, but if it’s a short story, the impact is enough.

As soon as the whole story was captured, I went home. Then, I immediately wrote an article in a rough form. However, it is still clumsy because my writing skills are still weak.

In the afternoon, I went down to Park Sang-sik’s house again.

“Oh, Yoon-hwan is here.”

“Where did you go this morning?”

“I was bringing the continuity to the teacher.”

“How is the continuity work?”

“Well, whatever it is, it’s not that difficult because you just have to finish it. It just takes some time.”
