Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 91 Hope You Can Forgive
Kondo Masahiko was unrestrained during the interview, Hanyu Hideki didn't know it, and he got into the study on the third floor when he got home.

The layout of the study is very simple. The huge bookcase against the wall was purchased by the original owner of the house. There are not many books in the bookcase. In addition to his own published works, there are also some books he has read.

There is a glass window on the south wall, and in front of the glass window is his daily creation desk.

This desk also existed originally, but the retro-looking desk lamp on the desk was a gift from Yoshihiro Yata, and some created manuscripts were neatly placed under the desk lamp.

In this era before the advent of computers, and not used to the troublesome and complicated Japanese typewriter, Hanyu Hideki has gradually become accustomed to writing with a pen.

In the past, when he was tired of creating here, he would look up at the scenery outside the window and relax his eyes.

The view from the glass windows is excellent, and when the weather is good, you can even see various plants in Koishikawa Korakuen.

On the side of the desk is the painting area, where there are drawing boards of different sizes, a dedicated painting workbench, and a paint rack full of paints, all of which he added later.

At this time, Hideki Hanyu was lying on the workbench intently, outlining pictures with a line pen.

The recording of "Tetsuko's Room" has ended, and the publicity work for the release of the work has come to an end.

After returning to normal life, the writer's work will start in an orderly manner.

The first thing to consider is that after the serialization of "Love, Go Home", once the sales of "Children's Literature and Art" fluctuate, the editorial department of Xiaoxiaoguan may contact him again, requesting to continue serializing "Magic Snack Shop".

To plan ahead, he decided to finish the manuscript to be serialized first, and Eri Kitahara would press the manuscript every day, and he still owed two kaiseki meals.

As for his job, there is no work pressure on picture book creation.

This year he has submitted thirteen picture books to the Xiaoxiaoguan. Although the fifteen books he planned have not been reached, considering the first book he released in early April, the thirteen books can be said to have overfulfilled the task. According to the release plan Enough until early next year.

As for next year's picture book task, let's wait until next year.

After all, next year's things will be done next year. If I finish my work this year, I will think about next year, and after I finish my work next year, there will be the year after next year.

Of course, the remaining two months of this year will be used to play and rest, and then find a place to travel.

But before going on a trip, he still needs to solve one thing, which is to agree to the manga script written by the senior editor of "Weekly Shonen Sunday" Kumagai Gennori.

And what he was busy on the workbench at this time was one of the contents of the comic script, an example of the finished comic.

It stands to reason that he is ready to find a cartoonist to cooperate with. This should be the job of a cooperative cartoonist, but he hasn't decided on a collaborator. This comic example is just to talk about cooperation.

Originally, he thought that he had drawn so many picture books, and it was not so easy to draw a few examples of comics.

To create an excellent comic, in addition to having a good story and an excellent artist, the drawing of the shots is also extremely important.

He was going to hand over the manga to Kumagai Gennian. Since he had only watched the TV anime and theatrical version, he had read very little of the original manga. If there was no finished product to learn from, he had to reproduce the scenes by himself.

As a result, he discovered that his talent in drawing sub-shots is generally very reluctant.

Created in separate shots, he was always unsatisfied, lacking the desired impact and interpretation of the story.

After lying here for several hours, there were a lot of waste manuscripts under his feet, and as a result, he didn't even draw a single manuscript that satisfied him.

"Hey, sure enough, the traveler is not omnipotent. I didn't rashly agree to Xiong Gu Xuandian to serialize comics before, but it is indeed a wise choice to find someone to cooperate with."

Hideki Hanyu is very fortunate that he did not agree to Kumagai Gennori to serialize manga.

With his ability to draw sub-shots, if he really wants to serialize comics, not to mention weekly magazines, monthly magazines are enough.

Rubbing away another unsatisfactory manuscript, Hanyu Hideki stood up and stretched, intending to go to the window to see the scenery, relax before continuing, suddenly heard the phone ringing downstairs.

Going downstairs to pick up the phone, Eri Kitahara's voice came from there immediately.

"Is there something going on, Hanyu-san?"

"Not yet, is Kitahara-san okay?"

"Hanyu-san, don't run around, I'll be right over."

Eri Kitahara hung up the phone hastily after finishing speaking.

Hideki Hanyu was at a loss, what Eri Kitahara was doing, there was no need to rush to his house even if he wanted to press the manuscript.

Wanshiwu is not far from the Xiaoxiaokan building, and Eri Kitahara arrived in less than 10 minutes.

Hideki Hanyu brought a glass of juice to Eri Kitahara, and asked curiously, "What happened, Kitahara-san came here in such a hurry."

Eri Kitahara looked at Hideki Hanyu, and asked with a strange expression, "When Hanyu-san went to record the program in the morning, did you see any artists waiting to be recorded?"

"Yes, there is a female singer named Ishikawa Yuko, an actor named Yakushi Maru Hiroko, and a male idol from Johnny & Associates."

Hanyu Hideki didn't bother to mention Masahiko Kondo's name.

"It's the male idol of Johnny & Associates, Masahiko Kondo."

"What's up with him?"

Hideki Hanyu was very curious, Masahiko Kondo seems to have nothing to do with Shogakukan, what did Eri Kitahara come over in person.

"After the recording of the program, Hanyu-san met the reporter outside Fuji TV, right?"

"I met a few reporters and talked about irrelevant topics."

"This Kondo Masahiko also met a reporter. During the interview, he was asked about topics related to Hanyu-san. The reporter asked him how he commented on Hanyu-san and how he viewed the readers' doubts caused by the serialization of Love Home."

Eri Kitahara looked at Hideki Hanyu amusedly when she said this, "Can you guess how Masahiko Kondo answered?"

Hanyu Hideki shook his head, "I don't know."

Logically speaking, public figures have a set way of answering this kind of question. If they like it, say they like it, and if they don't like it, say they don't understand it.

But if Eri Kitahara came to him and talked about it specifically, the answer would definitely not be that simple.

"This Kondo Masahiko said that Hanyu-san's new work has been questioned, which proves that Hanyu-san is selling books with his face, hehe..."

Eri Kitahara couldn't help laughing after she finished speaking.

After Hanyu Hideki heard this, he immediately showed an absurd expression. He wondered if Masahiko Kondo was stupid.

He didn't think that his works should be liked by everyone, even idols have the right not to like his works.

Of course, it’s okay to publicly express dislike of his works. After all, liking or not is a very subjective thing. It’s just that public figures with high emotional intelligence don’t say such things publicly.

But disliking and criticizing are two completely different things.

The most important thing is that this kind of criticism is just hearsay, blind criticism without basis.

Fans who like him certainly have appearance factors, but the main reason is that his works are excellent. Even if he criticizes the senior writers who show off his face, no one denies the quality of his works.

In addition to the Children's Culture Publishing Award awarded to him by the Elementary School Hall, several literary associations he joined also awarded him the Association's Newcomer Award.

In this case, no one in the circle jumped out to question, why would Kondo Masahiko, an idol outside the circle, dare to talk too much.

What is the difference between Masahiko Kondo's situation and expressing his opinion after only reading the headlines of the news, only to find that the content is completely reversed.

"Johnny's Office has already contacted us, hoping to get our understanding, and of course your forgiveness."
