Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 238 The Influence of "Slam Dunk" on Kamakura

"I was discovered." President Kadoda sat on the steps and sighed, "Sure enough, the more you do, the more mistakes you will make."

Jianye Mountain is his hometown and the place where he has cultivated all his life. He believes that the charm of Jianye Mountain can attract Bird Akino in the future.

In the end, because I cared too much, I wanted to impress Tori Akino Mirai, and promoted Jian Yeshan in the work, so I made a special arrangement, and now I was discovered.

"President Kadoda," Higashino sat beside him and asked curiously, "How did you recognize me?"

Cartoonists are not stars, but creators.Readers don't care about their lives, but simply like their works.

Akira Toriyama, Oda and the others can live like normal people.

Most of Higashihiro's loyal readers don't know what he looks like.

Kadoda was surprised, "You don't know your own influence..."

……

This is Enoden, Riko Kuraki sat on the tram, admiring the scenery outside the window as the tram swayed.

This water, this blue sky, is her long-lost hometown.

It is the end of September, the low season for tourism.

But what surprised her was that there were many people on Jiang Zhidian, and most of them were young people.

They said: "I have to sit on the Jiang Zhidian number once."

"So this is Jiang Zhidian."

Hearing these words, Kuraki Riko felt inexplicable. Is there anything special about Enoden?
She doesn't understand.

After arriving in Kamakura, many people got out of the car in a hurry, always missing Kuraki Riko in his hometown, and instead became the ones who were pulled down.

"A lot of people..."

When she arrived at the station, she opened her mouth wide. When she returned to her hometown in 1997, there were only half of the people she saw today.

"What's the matter? Is there a concert? How is it possible?"

Kamakura is a small city with a resident population of only 18. Even if it is a famous historical city, it is impossible to arrange large-scale concerts in Kamakura.

This is clearly her hometown, but Cang Mulizi now has a strange feeling in her eyes.

Pulling the suitcase, she hurried back home.

After lunch, Riko Kuraki said to her mother, "I'll go to school!"

Of course she was talking about Kamakura High School.

She has missed this alma mater for a long time, and she always dreams of the croquettes next to the school.

"Don't eat near the school..."

Before leaving, Cang Mulizi vaguely heard his mother say this.She didn't take it to heart, and soon bounced to Kamakura High School.

The croquette shop is still open, but the price has doubled.

She endured the heartache and bought a copy, and walked to the school gate while eating.

"I really miss it." Cang Mulizi sighed vaguely.

Especially the Kamakura High School Front Station in front of you, as always, the sky is blue, the sea is green, and there is a clear boundary between the sea and the sky.

Nearby, the tram slowly drove in, passed the crosswalk, and then gradually drifted away.

"It's still the same scenery as before."

only……

"Why are there so many people!"

Cang Mulizi took a bite of the crepe and stared blankly at the two-way street filled with countless people taking pictures with their cameras.

They said "It's amazing" one after another, with smiles on their faces and a look like a pilgrimage.

Kuraki Riko was puzzled, "Eh? What's going on?"

……

Higashino looked at President Kadoda, and asked in surprise, "My influence?"

"Well," President Kadoda nodded, "It can be called a legend in the tourism industry. A work drives the number of tourists."

"And this thing..." Higashino shook his head, "I draw sports manga."

Chairman Kadoda praised, "That's even more powerful."

……

What President Kadoda said was Kamakura.

There are many tourists in Kamakura, but most of them are history buffs.Because of the popularity of "Slam Dunk", young people also know about this small city.

"In the opening song of "Slam Dunk", this is the gate where Sakuragi Hanamichi and Haruko waved! Ah! So excited!"

There was a beautiful woman who trot from beside Cangmu Lizi to the gate.

"Ah."

Another deep voice followed.

Cang Mulizi looked over, and saw that the visitor was tall and tall over 190, with strong muscles and fiery red hair, especially the size 10 basketball jersey he was still wearing.

"This is... Yingmu Huadao!"

"The degree of restoration is really high!"

"very handsome!"

"Come on for the game!"

There were cheers at the scene, and many people held their cameras and asked for a group photo.

It was just an ordinary intersection, but now it has become a carnival for fans of "Slam Dunk".

"So that's how it is." Cang Mulizi was stunned.

She also likes to watch "Slam Dunk", and the Lingnan basketball team uses Kamakura High School as a reference. She can understand the fans' feelings, but...

"It's really amazing!"

It's really hard to express the feeling that the scene that I was used to before has become a sacred place sought after by countless people.

"The people there."

Cang Mulizi heard someone talking, and it seemed to be talking to herself.

She hesitated and turned around, pointing to herself.

"That's right!" The person who spoke was a high school student, with an armband on his shoulder that read Student Office, "Please don't eat here."

"Why?" Riko Cangmu stuffed the remaining croquettes into his mouth in one gulp, "There was no such rule before."

When she was in high school, she shared a share of croquettes with her friends after school, ate them while walking, and sometimes exchanged flavors. This was her youth.

"Before?" The student's expression softened, "Are you a local?"

"It's your senior." Riko Kuraki crumpled up the croquette wrapping paper, wrapped it in toilet paper, and put it in his pocket.

"Oh, sorry, senior!"

The junior bowed deeply, and then explained: "Because of the popularity of the "Slam Dunk" cartoon, many people came to visit the school gate, which affected the normal life of our high school. So the student council president asked us to maintain order."

"It's reasonable." Cang Mulizi nodded, and as usual, took out the camera from his pocket to take pictures of the scene.

"This..." The junior's expression became strange.

"It's very memorable." Kuraki Riko said.

"The school has two rules," the junior scratched his head, "For example, don't walk and eat at the school gate; it's dangerous to gather and take pictures at the railway crossing, so don't take pictures..."

"Ah..." Cang Mu Lizi was embarrassed, she had committed all the crimes.

The junior came to make up for her, "It's just a suggestion, not a prohibition or restriction..."

Cang Mulizi nodded quickly, and she said with emotion: "What a powerful influence, "Slam Dunk"."

……

"I really don't know." Higashino shook his head.

After President Kadoda said this, Higashino quickly took out his mobile phone and called Sasaki.

He told the story.

Sasaki said: "I know about this matter, but it's not a big deal, so I didn't inform you."

"Then do we need to make a statement?" Higashino asked: "Remind readers to pay attention to personal etiquette, so as not to have a bad influence on the local area."

Sasaki replied: "In the first issue of jump in June 98, I have done persuasion."

"Eh?" Higashino didn't pay attention.

"This is the editor's job. Akino-kun doesn't need to spend his energy here. You can travel with peace of mind, Miyuki."

Sasaki is as reliable as ever.

"Thank you, Mr. Sasaki."

Higashino hung up the phone.

Jump is really professional.

President Kadoda stood up and patted the dust off his buttocks, "Is there nothing serious?"

It is a big deal for him, a comic has driven the tourism industry in a region.

The result is just a small matter for jump and cartoonists.

"Forget it, I won't affect Mr. Akino's trip anymore," President Kadoda Tetsuko said, "Sure enough, I should let you see the real Mount Jianye, the Mount Jianye that I am proud of."

He walked towards the curry stand at the door, "It smells so delicious, I'm hungry."

"President Kadoda," Higashino called out to him.

"what's up?"

"Thank you for your thoughtful hospitality!"

"Wish you feel at home." Chairman Kadoda gave a thumbs up.

……

Akemi Akimiya sat on the throne wearing a crown and did not make a sound for a long time.

Higashino waited quietly.

After half an hour...

"I seem to have an impression," Akemi Akimiya looked at Higashihiro with watery eyes, "When I was young, I went to Jianye Mountain with my parents. At that time, there were many people. I was chosen to be the king. I was really happy..."

"Why would I forget? Such a precious memory..."

Higashino embraced her in his arms, "Congratulations, Mingmei."

Ten minutes later, Nanase came back with two plates of curry.

There were traces of curry at the corner of her mouth, Dongye snapped his fingers.

"Where?" Nanase stuck out her tongue, groped her lips, and licked it into her mouth, "The curry is delicious, sister Mingmei, come and eat."

"Yes." Akimi Akemi took off her luggage and nodded.

……

After eating the curry, Nanase took the Higashino couple around the Jano Mountains.

There are cherry blossom ponds.

But because of the wrong season, the cherry blossoms did not bloom.

There is a cliff overlooking the whole town.

There are windmills blown by the wind and meadows with wildflowers blooming.

Akemi Akimiya took all of them with a camera.

Railways, small roads, mountains in the distance, Akemi Akimiya did not give up.

In the next two days, she included all the scenery of Jianye Mountain in the photos.

"Sister Mingmei really likes Jianyeshan." Nanase broke her leg running.

"Of course." Akemi Akimiya was in high spirits, Higashino collapsed at the side.

Now he really wants to go back to the Nerima area. If there is a WeChat step count, then he is sure that his daily step count is more than [-].

This is much harder than drawing manga, at least the hands are tired.

"Hey, Uniqlo," Akemi Akimiya looked at the camera and asked, "Is there anything else unique to Jianyeshan?"

"Hmm..." Nanase Yui thought seriously, thoughtfully, "Ah! There!"

She strode ahead, and Akemi Akimiya followed.

"ring."

She turned her head and called Hibiki Higashino.

"Yes, yes, I'm here." Higashino pulled himself together, controlled his limbs with willpower, and slowly caught up.

Fortunately, the distance is not far, and after 10 minutes, we arrived at the destination.

It is a small shrine. In the center of the shrine, there is a shrine with fallen ashes.

Nanase introduced: "When the cherry blossoms bloom every year, the "Dragon Girl Festival" will be held in Jianye Mountain, which is very lively.However, as the number of tourists has decreased in the past ten years, the "Dragon Girl Festival" has not been carried out much, so I didn't expect it for a while. "

She searched carefully, but the golden dragon statue and the orb were gone.

"That's how our Jianyeshan fell." Nanase was a little sad.

Thinking of the desolation now, and recalling the lively "Dragon Girl Festival" in her memory, as a town resident, her words were full of regret.

Higashino looked at the ashes-covered shrine, and said again and again: "What a pity."

Akemi Akimiya did not speak, and took pictures with the camera.

After that, she picked up the booklet and recorded everything Nanase said.

The next day, under the gift of the tourism association, the Dongye couple took the tram home.

"I want to draw a manga." Akemi Akimiya said to Higashino.

"A manga describing the deeds of Janoyama." Higashino guessed.

"Well," Akemi Akimiya looked back, Nanase was still waving, "I've never been in such an urgent mood."

"Besides the first submission, this time is the most confident moment for me. I think it can be serialized."

"Then draw." Higashino encouraged: "I believe in you, Miss Akimiya."

Even if she has no talent, Akemi Akimiya, who has been working hard for it, Higashino firmly believes that she can serialize.

There is always a moment when there will be enough works to be serialized.

Higashino thought so when the short story "Soul of Chess" won the "Tezuka Prize".

It still hasn't changed.

Now, it's time for Akemi Akimiya.

"Please let me do my part," he said.

Since the second year of high school, Akemi Akimiya has always helped Higashino Hibiki, and now Higashino Hibiki can also repay her.

"Okay," Akemi Akimiya smiled, "but first, we need to complete the storyboard."

"come on!"

……

After returning home, Higashino Hibiki collapsed on the ground, not wanting to move.

He is more tired.

Akemi Akimiya put down her luggage, and after a brief tidying up, she came to the work desk, took out the manuscript paper, and began to draw with a pencil.

She was inspired and worried about forgetting.

"It's really hard work."

Higashino struggled to stand up.

It's four o'clock now, it's almost six o'clock in the afternoon, and he has to prepare dinner.

Become the man behind manga artist Akemi Akimiya.

He went to a nearby supermarket to buy ingredients, and on the way home, he met Akagi Kyoko and Hanaso.

"Why are you here?" Higashino was surprised.

Akagi Kyoko replied, "Of course I came to see you."

This is the Nerima area, and their home is in Shibuya, which is far away.

"What's the matter?" Higashino asked hurriedly.

If there is nothing important, Hua Chao will not bother her, especially if she is just married.

Hua Chao shook his head.

"It's nothing, just a gift for you," Akagi Kyoko said with a smile.

She took out the photo album from her backpack, which was labeled Kamakura.

"This is a photo we took during our travels in Kamakura, and it may be useful to you," she said.

"Thank you." Higashino took it.

It is Kamakura in summer, and the photos given to me by female college students have many different angles of scenery.
