1983 Past Life Manga King

As soon as we met, Daebong Lee introduced the woman.

“This is my best friend Jung Mi-ja. Age is······.”

At that moment, the woman who was introduced as Jeong Mi-ja is startled and stops Lee Dae-bong.

“Okay, okay. Why are you trying to say that?”

He appears to be around mid 20’s.

“What, are you still ashamed of being in front of a man?”

“Oh, no.”

“Uh-huh, okay?”

Saying that, she looked at Jung Mi-ja with deep eyes, and she immediately turned her gaze to me.

“That’s right, I can’t help it. You have to understand this.”

“James, don’t talk nonsense.”

Jung Mi-ja slaps James to dry.

I think this person is the place to be presented here, why is he so obsessive?

“Then I’m curious about the weight as well…”

“Do it in moderation!”

“Ouch!”

As if he had pinched Mija Jeong’s thighs, he put his head down and rubbed his legs vigorously with both hands. Then he soon lifted her hair up again, brushed her tangled hair straight through, took care of her expression, and opened her mouth again.

“Anyway, this is Jeongmi-ja, and as Yoon Hwan-yi asked, she has the ability to draw a pen.”

“Ah, hello.”

A woman in her mid-twenties with a modest appearance wearing black horn-rimmed glasses with thick lenses.

Her glasses are heavy and she keeps putting them on.

“Good morning.”

“But the pretty girl next to you is Yunhwan’s younger sister?”

Lee Dae-bong looked at Seon-hee next to me and asked.

“uh.”

While I am answering, Seon-hee continues to eat the bread.

Then he breaks a piece of bread and reaches under the table. Bek Seolgi is eating a piece of bread at Seonhee’s feet as soon as they follow him.

I removed my gaze from there and immediately introduced Seon-hee to the two of them.

“This side is called Lee Seon-hee, who is drawing cartoons.”

“Ah? Wasn’t he just the younger brother? I thought she looked really cute, but she’s a cartoonist?”

Jung Mi-ja looked surprised, but Lee Dae-bong seemed even more surprised.

Haha, it’s not because there were so many young cartoonists.

In fact, there were often young cartoonists until the 60’s and early 70’s. At that time, it was not uncommon for people who could not even finish middle school to come up from the countryside to Seoul early, study for a few years and then debut as cartoonists before they turned 20.

However, as the manga started to return to the center of the main office for comics in earnest, and it became a market that had to produce a large number of comics, only seasoned cartoonists who had adapted to it survived.

Of course, there are several monthly magazines, but there was no place for newcomers to stand in the situation where most famous writers were serialized in several places.

Of course, the biggest responsibility for that was the role of the garbage group called Joint Publishing Company.

Oh, there is really no end to talking about joint publishing companies, so let’s stop here.

“Sun-hee, say hello.”

Seon-hee is still chewing bread to the two of them and nodding her head.

“Go up to 1st grade this time.”

At my words, Mi-ja Jeong asks with a surprised look.

“Are you a freshman in high school?”

“Yeah. I will be graduating from middle school in a little while.”

“Wow, you’re a cartoonist? Where are you publishing?”

“Oh, my brother is a little lost. Today, I have to talk more with Mr. Fish.”

“It’s not my brother, it’s James, James.”

“Noisy. A little.”

“What is fish?”

Jung Mi-ja tilts her head and asks.

“Assistant.”

“···········?”

“He looks like a student, but he’s just someone who helps with painting. In Japan, too, these days, the apprenticeship is moving away from the concept of fishery.”

“Why are you talking about Japan all of a sudden?”

Lee Dae-bong, who was tilting his head beside Jeong Mi-ja, intervened again.

“Your brother is real.”

After saying that, he took a deep breath and explained briefly.

“I signed a contract with a Japanese publisher a few days ago.”

“What? Really?”

Jung Mi-ja and Lee Dae-bong are surprised at the same time.

In particular, Daebong Lee was so surprised that he jumped up from his seat. Because of this, customers and staff in the store look at this place with surprised eyes.

“Sit down, please. People see it.”

“Did you really sign a contract with a Japanese publishing company? A real Japanese company?”

“right. So, stop the fuss and sit down.”

As soon as I blinked my eyes, I hesitated and sat down. Then he pushes his head in and asks with curious eyes.

“How did you do it? Huh? how did you Please tell me that story in detail.”

“Talk about that later.”

“Ah, I’m curious.”

Saying that, Lee Dae-bong’s taste buds.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

I immediately turned my gaze to Jung Mi-ja.

“More than that, can you see the pen line work?”

At my words, Daebong Lee puts a wark impression on him and swears.

“what? Are you saying you don’t believe me?!”

“I brought it.”

Jung Mi-ja rummaged through her bag and pulled out a briefcase. When I opened it and took out a piece of paper, there were several drawings that were made for practice or had been made with a pen line.

I looked at the pen line slowly.

As a woman, I thought it would be thin and delicate, but it is more daring and intense than I thought.

If this is the case, it feels more like a male manga than a female. Of course, from my standards, it feels a bit crude.

Still, the strength and weakness of the lines are natural, and above all, it is a style that stands out for its three-dimensional effect. If this is the case, Daebong Lee deserves to shout out loud.

“I brought only what I drew recently.”

“Are you a character expert?”

“I’ve been in the background for a while, but I’m more confident on this side than on that side.”

“What is the pen speed?”

“There are three studios I’ve been through so far, and I was the fastest there.”

If the speed of a pen line like this is fast, it seems obvious that it is a considerable level.

“I will guarantee that. I’ve seen him work countless times.”

If even Lee Dae-bong said so, I’d be sure.

“If you do, it’s a drawing you will encounter in the future.”

I took out the drawing I had prepared in advance and showed it to them.

As soon as they take out the manuscript, the faces of the two men turn with astonishment.

“Hey, did he draw this?”

“uh. We will be sending this to Japan in the future.”

“Wow, the painting is very delicate. I also like directing. I have never seen such a directing in a script book manga.”

If it had been script-level directing, it wouldn’t have caught the editor’s attention in the first place.

“So, I think we need at least two fishermen to paint the background properly.”

“To handle a background like this, I wouldn’t have the chin as a background man for a typical script.”

“Is it difficult?”

He seemed to be in thought for a moment, and then he smiled.

“It’s difficult. I am Bigfoot James.”

“Are you a yeti? What else is Bigfoot?”

Perhaps he felt it was wrong to say that, so he coughs and turns away.

“Are you in a hurry?”

“Well, the manuscript is urgent, but the background is what Seonhee can do as soon as it is urgent.”

“Once you know I will look into that matter.”

“Thank you, bro.”

“Because it’s James.”

But the woman who was listening to her turned her head and she looked at me and opened her mouth.

“that······. Have you been accepted?”

“Yeah. Can you do it tomorrow?”

“I don’t care.”

“then. Well, starting tomorrow, there’s a small studio near here, so you can go to work there. Now, a Japanese publishing house is urging me to get the first manuscript quickly.”

But she hesitates to see if she has anything to say.

“why?”

“Hey, can I know the salary?”

“Oh, I forgot something important. Sorry.”

Having said that, he immediately explained.

“Yeah. There is no system in place right now, but you can help with character touch and small manuscript cleanup. It won’t be that much work yet. I’ll give you a monthly salary of 20,000 won. If the work is longer than planned, there is an extra pay, how about?”

His eyes widened slightly in surprise.

In fact, it is often the case that talented students in the studio make more money. However, most of those cases are drawing men, and most of them are men who have to eat and sleep in the studio.

Also, having to work on a huge amount of manuscript is an added bonus.

Anyway, considering this and that, 200,000 won a month as a woman is not a small amount of money.

“good. I will start tomorrow.”

Jung Mi-ja responded quickly, wondering if I might change my mind.

“What do background people think of their salaries?”

“I think about it that way for now. Of course, depending on your skill level, you can give more.”

“Oh, as you said, the treatment is very good. Then it will be easier to find a background man.”

“Hey, by the way, can I ask you a favor?”

Jung Mi-ja asked in a cautious voice.

“Yeah. Please tell me.”

“Hey, can’t we get some character drawings?”

“Yeah? why?”

“I want to practice this. I’m going to have to start writing the manuscript right away, but I’m trying to make a pen line that fits the character.”

After that, I turned to Seon-hee and said.

“Do you have a practice area where you draw characters? Can you give me that?”

Seon-hee, who was constantly chewing red bean bread next to her, opened her bag with the bread in her mouth and held out the practice range. When she took it and gave it to her, she asked again, checking it.

“Can I borrow this?”

At her words, I turn to Seon-hee.

“How are you?”

Then Seon-hee nodded her head as if it was nothing.

Seeing this, Mija Jeong looked at her practice range and immediately put it in her own bag.

She said, “When you arrive, please stop by the studio to check the location.”

“Yeah.”

“Oh, I’ll take a look.”

We got up right away.

Of course, he didn’t forget to buy more bread for his family.

*

the next morning.

Jung Mi-ja came in early while mom and sister were cleaning up the studio.

As soon as she walks in, she sees her mother and sister and greets them with a broad smile.

“Good morning.”

“Ah, it seems that my wife and daughter are the ones who will help us paint Seonhee from today. Please take good care of me.”

“No, I would rather ask. Wife.”

My mother was taken aback by Jung Mi-ja’s words.

But looking at her expression, she doesn’t seem to like it that much.

“What’s wrong with your wife, she’s just an aunty. Oh, and she is our eldest daughter.”

“Good morning.”

“Yeah. Good morning.”

“Oh, madam, you can just leave it alone.”

“Is that so? Well, she’s like a daughter.”

“of course.”

After a brief conversation, he came over to us. And say hello to us.

“Good morning. Teacher.”

“Yeah. Good morning.”

Having said that, he turned to Seon-hee. By the way, this guy has been sitting at her own desk since morning, immersed in painting.

She sticks to it, perhaps due to the fact that she has her own dedicated work desk since yesterday. So, even in the morning, as soon as I wake up, I hurry up and sit down like this and just draw pictures.

As soon as I hit the desk, Seon-hee raised her head, saw Jeong Mi-ja, and bowed her head. And then I went back to painting.

“Mija, please understand. I hide my face a lot.”

“I’m fine.”

Jung Mi-ja laughed.

Then I assigned her her desk appropriately.

Seon-hee made a seat with good light, but she insisted on taking a seat in the corner, so she made a seat there. Thanks to this, the most famous place in Changga automatically went to Jeong Mi-ja.
