1983 Past Life Manga King

“It’s our studio.”

“Yeah?”

Jiro changes into an absurd expression.

“Then, after all, the reason I’ve been touring around Tokyo until now…”

“Well, yes.”

“It’s ridiculous.”

After saying that, Jiro turns to me.

Maybe it means you have to decide for yourself.

“I’m fine. I would like to see the studio.”

I am rather welcome

Because there is no place in Tokyo that I really want to go to.

And what is my essence?

Isn’t that just a fanatic?

You can’t miss the opportunity to visit the studio of a Japanese manga artist who was active in the 80’s.

But Seon-hee’s eyes twinkle to see if she has the same thoughts as me.

It seems that Lee was also curious about Kido’s studio.

“Oh, too.”

Kido smiles to see if he is satisfied with my reaction. But Jiro, on the other hand, has a worried expression on his face.

“Are you okay?”

“Hey hey, are you okay what does that mean? Our studio is still pretty big and clean. comfortable as well I don’t think it’s bad enough to insult guests.”

“That’s not the problem. I’m saying that because I don’t know what Kido-sensei’s plans are.”

“You, though, I’m a well-known established cartoonist, aren’t I just too new to the topic of new editors?”

“It’s not my responsibility, so it doesn’t matter.”

“Have you seen such a quirky newcomer?”

Saying so, Kido shook her head. But, judging that this kind of conversation is possible, Kido is okay except for that bizarre way of speaking.

He seems to get along well with the Luck people.

Well, I felt it when we were walking around Tokyo together all day.

“I’m fine. I would like to see the studio.”

I am rather welcome

Because there is no place in Tokyo that I really want to go to.

Anyway, Kido looked back and smiled and started the engine.

“Okay then, let’s go.”

Saying so, he started the car.

End

After a while, they enter a quiet village and stop in front of a fairly large two-story house.

“This is where I live.”

A neighborhood with neat, but reasonably sized detached houses. It is a building with a size that stands out even here.

The shape of the house seen through the wall is stylish and modern unlike other houses. No, in the present age, should I say it is futuristic?

Because he was a famous writer, he lived in such a luxurious detached house.

Actually, I am well aware that the heyday of cartoonists was in the 80s.

In those days, there were so many great houses that cartoonists with some names were featured in many magazines.

In particular, the house of Satoshi Ikezawa, who drew the “Wolf of the Circuit” serialized in Shonen Jump in the late 70s, was lined with various supercars, and it was famous for its adult comics in the 80s.

The story of Eugene’s luxurious house and swimming pool is a well-known story.

To that extent, the 80s were a bubble age, and so were the cartoonists.

Of course, as we entered the 1990s, the situation worsened to the point where cartoonists had to worry about taxes as well as their incomes decreased.

Anyway, now is the time when the bubble is at its peak, so it’s not surprising that there are so many houses of some well-known cartoonists even if they aren’t popular writers.

“Okay then, let’s park the car.”

Park the car by pushing it into something like a large warehouse next to the house. A nice new sedan sits next to the car.

After parking and everyone got out of the car, Kido walked to the front door and said:

“Come on, this way.”

Kido approaches the door and rings the doorbell.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

– Who?

woman’s voice.

“It’s me. wife.”

– Ah yes.

Chunkyung.

The door opens.

As you enter, you will be greeted by a Japanese garden.

I don’t know if there is a separate gardener, but it seems that they put a lot of thought into the landscaping. Of course, it was a Japanese garden.

There are koi in the small pond, and Shishiodushi, a must-see in garden scenes in Japanese anime, can also be seen.

When the bamboo barrel is filled with water, it tilts and returns to its original shape, making a plump sound.

Looking at such a garden, I follow Kido, and a door opens and someone comes out of the building.

“welcome. Oh, you are a guest.”

A woman in her thirties, dressed modestly but neatly, greets Kido, finds us and smiles brightly.

He doesn’t show any signs of embarrassment as it seems that people usually visit frequently.

By the way, she’s a warm-hearted lady with a smile on her face.

“exactly. They are very precious guests from Korea.”

“Are you Korean?”

“That’s right.”

“Good morning. Her husband is getting better.”

“Good morning.”

“Sorry for the inconvenience.”

“No. Fine.

Kido’s wife waving her hand at Jiro’s words and smiling.

“Madam, please bring some tea to the fire room.”

“Yeah.”

Kido’s wife answered with a smile and went back inside with a light foot.

Well, they are a couple with very different feelings. But somehow I feel like they get along well with each other.

“The fire room is over there.”

Kido pointed to one side.

There is another door.

There are two doors to enter the house, but it seems that the space used as a studio has a separate door.

Upon entering, the spacious living room and desks clustered in the center catch the eye. The main desk in the center is probably Kido’s desk.

Anyway, there are 7 desks in all.

Does that mean there are six fishermen?

Around the chair in the center, a decorative cabinet is hung along the wall, and there are a lot of plastic models and garage kits.

I look around the cabinet, looking at them, and Seon-hee is looking at the unfinished manuscripts on the desk.

Obviously, in terms of size, this is a studio where you really feel like a manga artist. Compared to this, our studio is definitely rather modest.

I look around the studio with such admiration, and then Kido’s wife comes over with tea and snacks on her tray.

It is contained in a black square box and comes in various colors and each one is beautiful.

“Namagashi is a type of Japanese sweets. Have a drink.”

“Oh, I brought you something suitable. Thank you, madam.”

“Yeah.”

Kido’s wife, who replied with a smile, placed it on her table.

Seon-hee, who was absorbed in painting, suddenly approaches and stares at the Japanese sweets.

“Try it, Mr. Sani, too.”

When Kido said that, Seon-hee’s expression brightened, and he grabbed one of hers and shoved it into her mouth.

“The rice cake is delicious.”

“Bread?”

I picked up one too. It really squeaks like a cake.

When I put it in my mouth, it tastes like glutinous rice cake.

“Ah, yes.”

“Namagashi is like rice cake in Korea. Hanamagashi is a sweet snack with low moisture. The one I took to Korea was a kind of hannamaga.”

“Oh, what an editor.”

When Kido admires her, Jiro raises her nose slightly to see if she’s in a good mood.

Anyway, I think it tastes better than I thought, but Seon-hee eats more than half of the Japanese sweets she brought.

“Mom, wait a minute. I will bring more.”

“I want to bring a lot.”

“Yeah. I know.”

Kido’s wife disappears with her quick steps, and she comes with a sheep three or four times as much as the first one.

“eat a lot. If it’s a hat, I’ll bring you more. By the way, it’s a good thing that a little girl eats well.”

“You’re a little girl, you’re a cartoonist teacher.”

“Mom, I’m sorry. Excuse me.”

“I apologize on behalf of her wife.”

“No, it’s nothing special. You don’t even need to apologize…”

Saying that, she turned to Seon-hee and looked back at Seon-hee, and she was too busy to put the thin rice cakes, or Japanese sweets, into her mouth. Anyone who sees it would know that I was starving.

By the way, this guy is really special too. Even though the era is in the 80’s, it is clear that this person is a truly unique character.

Anyway, while Seon-hee fell into the sammaekyeong of Japanese rice cakes, Kido’s wife took her place.

“Master Yunan.”

Kido called me. The name is a bit odd though.

“It’s Yunhwan.”

“By any chance, have you seen my manga?”

“Are you talking about burning?”

Kido was startled by my words and looked surprised.

“Oh, you know.”

Of course.

I also saw ‘The Man of Sincerity’, which will come out a few years later.

However, the Man of Sincerity was a very disappointing cartoon.

Although it was not a hit as much as Burning Magu, it gained popularity, but personally, it was a work that I felt a lot of regret. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

It was a work that made me think countless times while reading, ‘Oh, what if it was like this here?’ It was because I thought it was a work worthy of being imprinted on it at that time.

“Can I get a review?”

“A review?”

Oh, what I’m asking now is that it burns.

“Yeah. I was curious to see how my work would look in the eyes of a Korean story writer teacher.”

He looks at me with a really curious expression and says:

But what is the original way of speaking? Come to think of it, I remember that the goblin director of his cartoon ‘Burning Magu’ used such a tone.

I never really thought that there would be people who would use that kind of tone in real life.

“It was a good hot-blooded baseball cartoon.”

He thought he had given an appropriate level of evaluation, but the expression on this yangban’s face is full of dissatisfaction.

“Is that all?”

“Are you asking me to be honest?”

“Yeah. I want you to be as strong as possible.”

“Is my evaluation important?”

“I think your evaluation is important.”

“·················ogue.”

On what basis are you thinking like that?

Anyway, if you say so, what do you do?

Still, there are a lot of things I want to say about this work.

“I think he was a decent hot-blooded guy up until the middle part. It wasn’t bad to feel like a giant star. However, towards the second half, it got really weird. Anymore

Superhumans are rampant as if it were an alien game other than baseball.”

At that, Kido laughed out loud.

“Hahaha, that’s the guts thing. If you try to deal with a stronger opponent, it becomes an inevitable storyline.”

It is also a problem with escalator-type battles. Actually, it’s also a problem with Dragon Ball and One Piece. However, that side is literally a battle
