Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 129 Xiangbei vs Lingnan! (Title is back)
In the cold wind, Totsuya Endo bid farewell to Higashi Higashi, and finally he remembered that he forgot to ask about the short story of "Soul of Chess".

"Forget it, I'll ask later. But," looking at the taillights of the taxi, he sighed, "It's nice to be young. The older you get, the less aggressive you are."

Shaking his head, he went back to the box.

……

Mei Higashino lives in an apartment near the Lantian voice actor office. Because it is a busy road, she lives with other female voice actors to save rent.

Higashino took a look downstairs in the apartment, and it looked better than his teacher's dormitory.

The apartment of Musashino Art University is an old house, and it has a musty smell in the past two days.

It's time to use the dehumidifier that Oda bought at the beginning.

"Time flies," Higashino looked at Mei, "you've grown up too."

He took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Mei Higashino, "The password is my mother's birthday, and I planned to give it to her next time. You should take it and use it first, and be kind to yourself."

Mei shook her head, "I can't take it."

"It must be Asahina here, you are sorry. Why are we two brothers and sisters so polite?"

Like a relative stuffing a red envelope, Higashino stuffed the bank card into Mei's pocket.

"Don't be reluctant to use it," Higashino said again with concern, "To be honest, I don't know what to do with my manuscript fee. I will be very happy if I let you use it."

After Hibiki Higashino said that, Mei could only nod in agreement.

She didn't go upstairs in a hurry, but waved goodbye to Hibiki Higashino.

On the way back to school, Higashino said to Asahina: "If it was an animation made by you, would Mei be the main voice actor?"

Asahina nodded, "Yes."

Higashino fell silent and stopped talking.

Some time ago, he searched the development track of Hideaki Anno, and he had an idea.

However, the "Slam Dunk" comic is still at the most critical time, so let's decide after a while.

……

On April [-]st, there are really many cherry blossoms in Musashino. Higashino walked on the road, and there were cherry blossoms falling everywhere.

It is in line with the artistic identity of the University of Fine Arts.

Higashino took a deep breath and felt the fragrance of flowers in the air.

"Ah!"

He sneezed suddenly, tears streaming down his face.

Akemi Akimiya, who was wearing a mask next to him, handed him a piece of paper and a mask.

"Beware of hay fever."

There are many cedar and juniper trees planted in Tokyo. In spring, when these trees are in flowering season, pollen is everywhere in the air, which is easily inhaled into the mouth and induces hay fever.

Higashino Hibiki was fine last year, but for some reason this year, he suddenly developed this disease.

"Thank you, Akimiya-sensei." Higashino took the toilet paper and mask, wiped away his tears, blew his nose, and felt much better after putting on the mask.

No wonder the Japanese like to wear masks.

"It's spring again. It feels like a year has passed in two days." Higashino looked at the new student and felt emotional.

Akimi touched her face and became worried, "I also feel this way, will I get old soon?"

"With Miss Qiugong, I will be happy when I grow old."

"If you think about it now, when I'm really old, I'm afraid I'll have another idea."

Higashino understood her worries, and had no comfort, but said seriously: "Our age gap is about the same as the average death age of men and women in Japan. When we get old and walk together, no one will be alone."

Akemi Akimiya was stunned for a moment, "Yes," said.

……

After welcoming the freshmen, Higashino didn't have a main class, so he returned to the dormitory and started drawing manga.

Oda and Tanaka were waiting for him in the dormitory, but they had already started working.

Higashino looked behind Oda for a while, and found that he was drawing the background picture, which was Sakuragi Hanamichi's first appearance. Among the crowd on the stage was a boy with a straw hat, smiling idiotically, and raising his arms to cheer.

"Huh?" Higashino made a sound in surprise.

Oda asked, "Is there a problem?"

"No," Higashino shook his head, "I think you have improved a lot. I'm afraid you will be able to serialize manga in a year or so."

"Eh? Really?" Oda asked excitedly.

He has been looking forward to the day of the official serialization.

"Really," Higashino nodded.

Higashino heard him say a few days ago: "Jump's logo is obviously a pirate head, but there are no pirate-themed comics. I want to draw a work with pirate comics as the theme."

I'm afraid it won't be long, by this time next year, Oda will have almost the idea.

Jump's second Akira Toriyama will appear soon.

The results of "Slam Dunk" have not yet exploded.

"Oda-kun, that's amazing." Tanaka looked at him enviously.

Oda complimented him and said: "Tanaka-san's painting style is also very characteristic."

Higashino has seen Tanaka's paintings, and they have a very immersive style.

Although it is dark, damp, mourning and other negative senses.

But if he can make use of this advantage, he will become a great cartoonist in the future.

"No, no, I don't dare to expect so much, I'm very happy now." Tanaka grinned.

Higashino encouraged: "Since you are an assistant, your goal must be to serialize the manga, everyone work hard!"

Occasionally cheer them up, then the assistant will work harder, and the emotion can be integrated into the passion of the basketball court.

"Yes!" Oda yelled, and started his most hated work of posting dots.

……

On Monday, the friendly match between Lingnan and Xiangbei in "Slam Dunk" has been drawn for three weeks.

Hua Chao could feel the charm of this work more and more.

"It's really amazing, Tono."

He saw the fierce competition in basketball from the lines and storyboards of the comics. Everyone was sweating on the court, trying their best to win!

The charm of basketball is vividly drawn.

"It will definitely be possible to make more people love basketball!"

If such comics cannot be liked, he really doesn't know how to promote basketball.

……

Hua Chao recalled the previous content and connected to the new chapter.

As soon as the game started, Xiangbei was not Lingnan's opponent.

Coach Moichi Tianoka of Lingnan is very satisfied. Although there is Rukawa Kaede joining in Xiangbei at this stage, except for Akagi, other positions in Xiangbei are very weak, and there is no way to compete with Lingnan.

"Lingnan will enter the national competition this year!"

He was full of confidence.

In the game.

Xiangbei's offenses were all blocked by Yu Zhuchun, the center of Lingnan, and Xiandao's offenses were also successful.

He once pretended to layup but passed the ball to his teammates, and made a layup by himself after a fake pass, predicting Rukawa Kaede's reaction.

"Xiandao!"

"Xiandao!"

"Lingnan!"

"Lingnan!"

There was a burst of cheers at the scene!The atmosphere is very active, everyone is cheering for Lingnan!
Only Rukawa Kaede's fangirl cheerleaders looked very depressed.

Akagi Haruko was very excited and brought her good sisters to watch the game together, but unexpectedly the result was one-sided, and she was very worried about Rukawa Feng and her brother.

In such an environment of cheering and cheering, I hope that their fighting spirit will not be affected.

The substitute player of the Xiangbei team lowered his head before he played, thinking that Xiandao is too strong, Rukawa Kaede is not the opponent at all, and Xiangbei cannot beat Lingnan.

They didn't want to watch it anymore.

It is now 0:19, and the gap is astonishingly large. However, the coach of Xiangbei, Koyoshi Anzai, did not move at all. He did not stop the game, nor did he stand up to encourage the team. He sat quietly like a big Buddha.

Xiangbei's aura was suppressed miserably, whether it was on the field or in the audience.

Yingmu Huadao was very angry. Instead of cheering up, several of his bad friends kept laughing.

He really wants to play right now.

Lingnan's momentum is in full swing, and all players are full of confidence.

On the other hand, on the Xiangbei side, when Xiangbei's point guard was organizing the offense, he was frightened by Yu Zhujun and Xiandao's aura, and rushed to pass the ball to Mu Mu Gongyan, causing the basketball to be intercepted by Lingnan and quickly counterattacked.

Seeing all this, the supporters of Xiangbei are very disappointed.

"Lingnan is really strong!"

"We are not rivals at all."

Xiangbei's substitute players also began to lose heart.

However, at this moment, the auras of Rukawa Kaede and Akagi Takenori were all ignited.

When Xiandao wanted to catch a slam dunk, Rukawa Feng jumped up, went around in the air to steal, and quickly broke through Lingnan's defense to the basket. When Xiandao returned to defense, he jumped up and prepared to shoot.

Xiandao followed and jumped up to intercept, but Rukawa Kaede feinted and passed the ball to Akagi behind him, Akagi slam dunked and scored!
Thinking of the storyboard on that page, Hua Zhao was very moved.

Whether it's the shots of Rukawa Kaede and Sendo, or Akagi's slam dunk, they are all full of power, and the use of the lens is almost immersive.

He couldn't help but think of how touched he was when he dunked for the first time.

This goal is a turning point, breaking through the "0" limit and stabilizing the mentality of other players. Amid the cheers of the audience, Akagi's rebounds and Rukawa Kaede's coordinated offense were perfect. In the time that came down, a lot of points were recovered.

After the first half, the score came to 42:50, and Xiangbei was only eight points behind.

The result of this game is still inconclusive!
