Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 249 "Earring" boarded the jump
"Mingmei is my wife." Higashino replied.

"It's really a man and a woman." Editor Shenjin was slightly surprised, and then said.

Akemi Akimiya blushed slightly, "You are really flattering yourself."

"That's what I really think."

After saying hello, the three asked for a glass of orange juice each.

"Let's get straight to the point." Editor Fukatsu looked at the file bag brought by Akemi Akimiya and asked, "Is that the storyboard of "Sakura Mission"? Please let me have a look."

"Of course you can, but..." Akemi Akimiya replied after consideration: "Because it's been a while since the storyboard of "Sakura Mission" was finished, and I brought the original manuscript..."

"The original manuscript?" Editor Fukatsu was taken aback, her mouth was dry and she licked her lips, "Please let me take a look."

"I drew the original manuscript before confirming the serialization. I'm really confident."

In fact, this is Akemi Akimiya's sincerity to do her best for serialization.

I expressed to the editor that serialization is no problem for me.

She couldn't wait too, and didn't want to waste free time.

Editor Fukatsu opened the file bag, and her pupils shrank for a moment.

This painter is really too strong.

Better than most shonen manga.

Although limited by realistic themes, it is impossible to draw a surreal background character, but from all the subtleties, the editor Fukatsu can feel the skills of Akemi Akimiya.

Speaking of hair, there are not many girls who can draw a silky feeling.

"It's just a girl manga, do I need to do this?" Editor Fukatsu wanted to ask.

She raised her head in astonishment, and glanced at Akemi Akimiya who was looking forward to it.

"Editor Fukatsu, is there a question?" Akemi Akimiya asked hastily.

"No." Editor Fukatsu lowered his head, hiding the joy in his eyes, "Please wait a moment."

She hit the jackpot.

This kind of comic has an interesting plot, and the artist is unique, so the future is promising.

Editor Fukatsu started to read the manga, and Akemi Akimiya waited nervously.

Higashino silently drank the orange juice without disturbing their work.

"Slam Dunk" is about to end in another year. During this year, he plans to devote all his energy to "Slam Dunk" and will not spare time to draw short comics.

However, "The Garden of Words" and "[-] Centimeters Per Second" have been drawn, so should "Your Name" be put on the agenda?
He thought about what kind of manga should he draw for a long series?
Gotta guarantee results...

While Higashino was thinking wildly, editor Fukatsu took the original manuscript of "Sakura Mission" and turned to the last page.

"A total of 80 pages of manuscripts, really amazing."

From the heroine Yuno Kiharu to becoming the king of Janoyama, and then to sell local specialty steamed buns, she gathered Shiori Shinomiya, a member of the tourism association, Maki Midorikawa, a part-time worker, Rinko Oribe, a girl who collects information on unconfirmed creatures and paranormal phenomena, and Sanae Kazuki, who is familiar with web design.

This king and four ministers began to work hard for the recovery of Jianye Mountain tourism.

"Sakura Mission" is on the right track.

Editor Fukatsu asked: "Is there no leading actor?"

Akemi Akimiya shook her head.

They started talking, and it wasn't until two hours later that the communication was completed.

……

"Can you give me the storyboard and the original manuscript?" Editor Fukatsu asked.

Akemi Akimiya said quickly, "Of course."

"Well," editor Fukatsu said, "I can't guarantee it either, but I will vote for the serial meeting. As for whether I can pass it, the possibility is very high."

"Thank you!"

Under the dining table, Akemi Akimiya squeezed Higashi Hibiki's palm tightly, her expression was calm, and she wanted to dance happily in her heart.

After the official work is over.

Editor Fukatsu said to the grinning Higashino: "Tori Akino-sensei, I heard that "Earring" will be published on Jump?"

Higashino nodded, "At the jump in two weeks' time."

"That's great," Fukatsu said with a smile on his face, "Because of work, I couldn't go to "Jump Festa", and I didn't see this episode, and I regretted it for a long time. "

She bluntly said that she is also a reader of "Slam Dunk".

I have liked this work for a long time.

Because there are too many handsome guys in "Slam Dunk" and each has its own characteristics, "Slam Dunk" is also a very popular comic among girls.

"I hope it will satisfy you," Higashino said.

……

Two weeks later.

The long-awaited "The Earring" finally came into view.

"In the recent "Slam Dunk", Liang Tian played very well. I heard that "The Earring" is also his story."

Higashihiro's old classmate, Kazuya Takasugi, who is currently a graduate student, also flipped through Jump.

Because of his height of 1.6 meters, he likes Miyagi Ryota very much.

Even though Miyagi's popularity is not as good as that of Kogure Konobu, he is silently supporting Miyagi, imagining that one day Tori Akino will be able to draw more about Miyagi's fertile fields in the future.

Draw where he shines.

"Slam Dunk" has been serialized for more than 4 years. Among the five starters in Xiangbei, only Miyagi has the least good shots. He is the one who assists and silently assumes the responsibility of point guard.

While dealing with the strongest opponent, he is willing to be a green leaf.

"Mr. Bird Akino finally found out with his conscience, and Liangtian has his own side story."

Kazuya Takasugi also turned on the jump.

He watched "Slam Dunk" first, and he couldn't wait for the exciting game.

After 3 minutes, he entered the emotions of the readers of "Slam Dunk", and then he read "The Earring".

After a while, Kazuya Takasugi closed the manga.

"That's how the earrings on the Liangtian earrings come from."

In the memories of "Slam Dunk", Miyagi Ryota, a first-year student, joined the basketball team because he liked Ayako.

The first close-up of Liang Tian is that he is squatting on the ground like a gangster with his head raised.

His earrings have a sense of presence, as if they are shining.

It is a rare and impressive shot of Ryota Miyagi.

"The story of "The Earring" drawn by Mr. Akino Bird is not bloody, and it proves the fate of Liangtian and basketball. He likes Jordan, and imitated Jordan and pierced his own ear. On the other hand, he joined Xiangbei not only because of Caizi, but also because of his love for basketball."

"It's really good."

……

Time to Friday.

Sasaki is in the reception room on the first floor of Shueisha.

Opposite him is Nobuhiro Watsuki who brought new works.

"Rurouni Kenshin" ended last year amid the regrets of many readers.

This work, at its peak, once maintained the number one jump.

After the end of "Dragon Ball", the situation was barely maintained.

But it didn't take long before being suppressed by comics such as "Soul of Chess", "Slam Dunk", and "One Piece".

So Nobuhiro Watsuki also finished "Rurouni Kenshin" smoothly.

Nobuhiro Watsuki's new manga is called "Western Gunslinger".

The work is very routine.

Yearning for the west, a young man longing to become a sharpshooter, met a gunman from the west, and resolutely embarked on a journey to the west.

American background, gunmen, but the taste is very Japanese, it reads strangely.

"Please revise it again." Sasaki temporarily rejected Nobuhiro Kazuki.

However, it was not directly rejected.

"Okay." He Yue Shenhong's face was ugly, and he retracted the storyboard.

Looking at his back, Sasaki shook his head.

A cartoonist, if he draws a brilliant cartoon in his life, he is very accomplished.

After there are classics, they will fall silent, which is the fate of many popular cartoonists.

There are still too few people like Yoshihiro Togashi who produce classic manga again and again.

"I don't know what kind of work Akino-kun will come up with after finishing "Slam Dunk"?"

He returned to the jump editorial department with regret for Nobuhiro Watsuki and anticipation and concern for Higashino's new work.

"Mr. Sasaki," as soon as he entered the door, Jijiu stopped him and handed him a data sheet, "This period's Xiaozheng results are out."

Sasaki took it and took a look.

""Slam Dunk" No.1, "One Piece" No.2, "Naruto" No.3..."

"The results of Naruto are outstanding."

Masashi Kishimoto's talent came to the fore, defeating the genius Shimabukuro and the increasingly lazy Yoshihiro Togashi, and became No.2000 in 3.

"Naruto has the potential to be a mainstay, which is a surprise," he said to the bottle.

Jijiu Bingzi nodded, "I heard that Kishimoto-kun also served as an assistant to Mr. Akino Tori. It's amazing."

Now the first, second, and third places in Jump are so closely related.

"Maybe Akino-kun saw the potential of Naruto," Sasaki said.

He knew how terrifying that man's eyes were.

Last year's "Jump Festa" was not "Slam Dunk", but "Yu-Gi-Oh".

The amount sold around this work is as high as "Pirate" plus "Hokage".

The three works recognized by Akino Bird have all performed well.

Mirai Akino, who understands the interests of readers so well, his new work will definitely be popular.

Thinking of this, Sasaki is not worried about the third full-length series of Tori Akino in the future.

"I'm not just talking about that."

Bottle Jijiu pointed at the short comic, ""The Earring" is the No.1 short comic, it's amazing."

"'The Earring' is a side story of 'Slam Dunk', and this kind of achievement is a matter of course." Sasaki said.

After Sasaki left, Jijiu shook his head silently, "I'm really confident."

……

Time passed, and soon it was April.

The cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the Japanese have begun the annual flower viewing period.

Beside the cherry blossom tree, eating delicious food while feeling the rustling of cherry blossom petals is really romantic.

Higashino has never participated in it, he doesn't have so much free time.

"It would be great if I also serialized in the monthly magazine."

Just now, "Sakura Mission" passed the serialization meeting. Editor Fukatsu excitedly informed Akemi Akimiya that "Sakura Mission" will start serialization in early May.

Akimi hugged Higashino, feeling the beauty of this moment.

There were tears in the corners of her eyes.

Higashino couldn't understand, what kind of mood was this?
I can only be happy with her.

""Sakura Mission" can be serialized, congratulations."

He patted Akimi on the back lightly, his voice soft.

"Ok!"

Akemi Akimiya exclaimed excitedly.

This overflow of emotion seems to be happier than when she got married.

After realizing this emotion for a while, Akemi Akimiya came back to her senses.

She let go of the arms around Higashino Hibiki's waist, and hummed twice.

"There are a lot of people to be notified next," she said.

First of all, the good news must be notified to the Manoyama Tourist Association.

Then I have to inform Mr. Akimiya that his daughter has started serialization.

Maybe I have to call Mei Higashino and tell her that her elder sister Akemi is finally promising.

Akemi Akimiya got busy.

Higashino shook his head, not to disturb her.

He went to the living room and turned on the TV.

In April of this year, there was a comic-changing animation aired.

The name is "Our Family".

The producer is "Future Society".

It is also the first independent animation produced by "Future Society" after Higashino let go.

I don't know what the effect is?
Higashino is very curious.

……

Near Higashino's house, there is a naughty girl named Akane Nakajima, who is entering the second grade of junior high school this year.

Akane Nakajima has been looking forward to the release of the new work of "Future Society" for a long time.

Although there is no Mirai Tori Akino this time, it is the production company of "Unheard Flower Name" after all.

With the passage of time, the name of "Unheard of Flowers" still hasn't disappeared, but because it is too depressing. According to word of mouth among viewers who have watched it, there are often "bad guys" who are deceived by "It's so interesting, very funny", fall into "Unheard of Flowers", and then start to deceive the next person.

This cycle goes on and on, so that a year later, the reputation of "Future Club" remains the same.

Akane Nakajima didn't have to wait long. At the end of the advertisement, the animation called "Our Family" came into Akane Nakajima's eyes.

"Huh? It's this style of animation."

The two-headed body painting style, Huamao looks like a flounder, which is a style unique to children's animation.

Akane Nakajima still likes the painting style of "Unheard Flower Name".

From the beginning of this work, she was upset.

"Let's take a look."

……

Higashino watched TV with a smile on his face.

"What are you laughing at?"

After Akemi Akimiya finished her work, she came to the living room and asked Higashi Hibiki in surprise.

Higashino smiled and pointed to the TV, "This animation is very close to reality, and it describes the trivial things of life, which is very interesting."

Different from the funny short paragraphs of "Funny Manga Hiyori", "Our Family" is similar to "Chibi Maruko-chan", a family-based, very warm story.

Higashino seemed to see himself.

A long-winded mother who maintains housework; a taciturn father who takes care of the family; an immature high school daughter who likes to bicker with her mother; a junior high school younger brother who is quiet and shy but likes to play cool.

Many viewers can feel the familiar taste from this animation.

"The evaluation is really high." Akemi Akimiya regretted, "It's just that I didn't see it."

"I recorded it," Higashino said, "we can watch it together later."

"Okay." Akemi Akimiya nodded.

……

After "Our Family" ended, Akane Nakajima smacked her lips, "It turns out that other people's mothers are like this."

Long-winded, penny-pinching, think about it, her mother is much better.

"This Is Our Family is pretty funny, though."
