Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 299 Compared with Hibiki Higashi and Oda, I think...

Sasaki turned around and looked at Higashino Hibiki, who was steadfast in his vow, speechless and choked.

He never worried that the ending of Death Note would lose quality.

It’s just that in Angry Birds Akino Mirai always ends comics with potential.

Don't know how to cherish.

"Well, I know." Sasaki said in a muffled voice.

He shook his body, shook Higashino Hibiki's hand away, and walked away quickly.

Higashino Hibiki looked at Sasaki's back and swallowed. He still had a lot to say.

"Mr. Sasaki is really different after becoming editor-in-chief. He has such a big air."

"That's right," Yoshida nodded.

The moody editor-in-chief stresses him out, always worrying that he's accidentally saying the wrong thing.

"Tori Akino-sensei," Yoshida said, "the award ceremony is still some time away, let's discuss the follow-up storyboard of "Death Note"."

"Okay." Higashino reluctantly agreed.

They walked to the rest area, sat on chairs, communicated, and started brainstorming.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the staff came to inform the two that the activity was about to start, and then they stopped.

Under the guidance of the staff, Higashino Hibiki sat under the lobby stage.

There were fellow cartoonists on the side, and editors and employees from other departments of Shueisha behind them. There were quite a few people sitting there, hundreds of them.

"Teacher Akira Toriyama isn't here."

Beside Higashino Hibiki, Oda asked him in a low voice.

"Toriyama-sensei would not attend such an event easily." Hibiya Hibiki replied.

"What a pity." Oda sighed.

He was very disappointed that he could not meet his idol again.

Also missing were Masashi Kishimoto and Kentaro Yabuki.

Higashino Hibiki couldn't help but admire that Mr. Akira Toriyama is indeed Japan's number one cartoonist, and the younger generation in Jump are all his fans.

I don’t know when I started to achieve such an achievement.

"Tori Akino-sensei," said the genius Shimabukuro Konichi on the other side, "how did you adjust yourself?"

Hibiki recalled the time when he learned that Akimiya Akemi was pregnant and was in no condition to draw "Death Note".

"Just have to wait," he replied.

"Then life will always be the same, like stagnant water, when will we wait?" Shimabukuro Lightyear was a little depressed.

His decadent state has lasted for a long time. "The Leader at the End of the Century" is a funny comic, and a life without passion has made the comic boring.

"I..." Higashino Hibiki was about to comfort him. Yoshihisa Azo was the host and Sasaki was the award presenter. They took the stage and could only stop.

……

After the opening remarks, the award ceremony officially began.

The first person to appear on the stage was Akimoto Osamu, a veteran of Jump.

His "Oolong Police Station" began serialization in 1976 and has experienced the ups and downs of Jump.So basically every activity of Jump is spearheaded by this old man.

The second place is Araki Hirohiko.He is 42 years old this year, and he is also an old man among cartoonists.

Higashino Hibiki sat in the center of the first row, smiling and applauding silently.

After that, Kentaro Yabuki, Morido Yamamura, Konen Shimabukuro, Takeo Xu Fei, Masashi Kishimoto, Kazuki Takahashi, etc. all played.

At the end, only Hibiki Higashino and Oda had not received their awards.

Kazuhiko Torishima, who was silent at the scene in person, noticed this scene and couldn't help smiling.

He said to Toshicho Takahashi beside him: "Who do you think will be next?"

Takahashi Toshichang hesitated.

This is the difference between the finale and the big axis.

Jump's current pillar is "One Piece", but before that, it was "Slam Dunk".

"Death Note" is not a royal manga, and it has only been serialized for 8 months. It is impossible to surpass "One Piece".

So now, whether to maintain Tori Akino's future position or let Oda gain glory depends on how Sasaki arranges it.

"Sasaki will also be entangled. He believes in the future strength of Tori Akino, but Oda also has a bright future. It is difficult to distinguish between those two people now." After thinking for a long time, Takahashi Toshichang said, "But in my opinion Let’s just play by the rules.”

"Now Oda is stronger, so let him be the number one. Mr. Akino Tori is a very peaceful person and will not be dissatisfied. Oda-kun is... um, very pure."

Minister Torishima nodded. He looked at Sasaki with a smile, wondering how he could solve this problem, "Maybe so."

……

After Takahashi and Nozomi took a photo, they stepped off the stage with a trophy.

Yoshihisa took a deep breath and looked at Oda and Higashino in the audience.

He looked at Sasaki again with a questioning look. Sasaki nodded slightly and asked him to continue.

Abominable Yoshihisa finally fixed his gaze on Hibiki Higashino and picked up the teleprompter board.

"Next please..."

"I'll do it." Oda raised his hand and stood up. He said to Hibiki Hibiki, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tori Akino, I have something urgent to do, so I have to go one step ahead of you."

He passed Hibiki Higashikata and walked onto the center of the stage in three steps and two steps.

……

"Tch," after the awards ceremony, Kazuhiko Torishima was extremely dissatisfied. He didn't like the excitement, and felt that it was a waste of time.

"So who was the person who screamed in the bottle at that time?" Takahashi Toshicho asked Torishima Kazuhiko.

"How would I know?" Torishima Kazuhiko asked back, then discouraged, "Forget it, I'm going to China to promote the animations of "Slam Dunk" and "One Piece" tomorrow, let's go."

Oda watched their leaving backs, walked up to Higashi Higashino, and shook hands with him.

"Tori Akino-sensei, I miss you often."

"I remember you have a girlfriend, right? She's the model who plays Nami."

"Of course I didn't mean that," Oda was annoyed, and he explained, "After "One Piece" was serialized, I would often regret not learning more from you, otherwise I wouldn't be tempted to help when encountering difficulties. You call. I finally told myself that only by being independent can I grow, so I restrained myself, hahaha."

"I'm waiting for you at any time," Dongye Xiang said with a smile, "Didn't you just say that you were in a hurry to leave for something?"

"It's resolved now." Oda replied.

"You are really proud."

"I have the ability." He said with high spirits, "When I was your assistant, I was always thinking about drawing comics that could catch up with you."

"It's just that "Slam Dunk" is too strong, so I can't see the opportunity, and I can't sleep due to depression. But now I believe that "One Piece" will eventually surpass "Slam Dunk"."

Today's "One Piece" is only one step away from catching up with "Dragon Ball".

Oda loved "Dragon Ball" when he was a child. He thinks it is not inferior to Disney animation. He has caught up with the innocent love of childhood, so now he is fearless.

"Then you still need to work hard," Hibiki Higashino said. "Ten or 20 years later, "One Piece" may have the same achievements as "Slam Dunk"."

"Hey~ That's too long!" Oda was disappointed.

……

The cartoonists all left, and Jijiu looked at the teleprompter, which was the name of the finale cartoonist that had been agreed in advance.

"Editor Sasaki, why did you choose Oda-kun as the finale?"

He was a little puzzled.

Sasaki thought for a long time, and finally said:
"Maybe it's my preference."

"I trust Akino Mirai too much."

……

After Hibiya Hibiki returned home with the bonus and trophy, he recalled that the conversation between him and Shimabukuro Lightyear was not over yet.

But he didn't have Shimabukuro's contact information, so he shook his head and put it down.

Higashino placed the trophy in the corner of the bookcase and came to the studio in the living room.

Akimiya Akemi is still painting, and her assistant Ibuki Hikaru has gone home from get off work.

She was alone in the studio.

"I am back."

"Welcome home."

Without both parents, without assistants, only two people were there, and the villa suddenly became more like a home.

Higashino Hibiki couldn't help but feel a burst of exhaustion, he sat down on the sofa, and his whole body became limp.

"Ah~ It's still comfortable at home."

"Aren't you going to the party?" Akimi asked casually.

"It's so boring." Hibiki Higashi shook his head, "Those are just a bunch of otakus, there's nothing interesting at all."

"So you don't miss me?" Akemi Akimiya began to make trouble for no reason.

Dong Ye Xiang Ma Claw, pregnant women are too difficult to take care of.

The caring Akimiya Akemi from before disappeared, and the weather in the mountains changed from sunny to rainy.

"Of course not, I miss you too, Akimiya-sensei." Higashino mentioned the old title, usually mentioning Akimiya-sensei, Akemi Akimiya would feel embarrassed.

"Hmph, I don't believe it." Akemi Akimiya put down the G-pen and pouted.

The straight man Hibiki Higashino is out of options.

He held the check in his trouser pocket, which was the 50 bonus for this jump. Looking at the paper ball on the ground, he suddenly had an idea.

"Mingmei, if you clean the floor, how about I give you 50?"

"Huh?" Akimiya Akemi glared at him.

"Let me do it." Higashino stood up awkwardly, and under Akimi's satisfied eyes, he let out a sigh of relief while cleaning.

Finally got over it.

……

Monday morning.

Mrs. Fukada made breakfast and knocked on the door to wake her son up.

After she and her husband finished breakfast, our son arrived belatedly, still wearing pajamas.

"Hurry up and eat, don't be late." She urged.

"...Yes..." the son replied weakly.

"Wait," Fukada Yongren was about to sit down when Mrs. Fukada stopped him, "What are you? Didn't you sleep well at night?"

I saw that Fukada Nagato's eyes were dull, bloodshot in his eyes.

"Ah?" Fukada Nagato was shocked, and he quickly organized his words, "Yes, yes, there is too much pressure to study."

Mrs. Fukada couldn't help feeling sorry for her, "Should I ask you for a day off?"

"No, I want to study hard." Fukada Yongren said quickly.

He accidentally bought "Death Note" on Saturday, and quickly flipped through the scenes about Naomi Misora ​​when he got home.

It turned out that Misora ​​Naomi had no welfare camera at all and was always wrapped up tightly.

In the end he died.

Furious, he tosses the manga aside.

It wasn't until the next day that I was bored that I turned to "Death Note".

The result was so interesting that he couldn't stop at all. He saw Tokyo at four in the morning.

Before going to bed, Fukada Nagato is also full of thoughts of Naomi Misora ​​being controlled by the Death Note, and the last lonely back.

So I couldn't sleep anymore.

He heard from his classmates that Monday is the day when jumps are sold, so he had to buy jumps while he was in school.

"Okay, you are really my good baby, mua~" Mrs. Fukada was very satisfied.

……

During the recess, Fukada Nagato took out jump.

"I didn't expect that such a thick manga magazine would only cost 260 yen, which is so cheap."

He thought he needed to be hungry at noon.

Fukada Nagato opened the manga and accidentally turned to "Black Cat".He looked at Eve and couldn't help but be startled, "This character is so well drawn."

Eve is exactly the same as Golden Darkness in Kentaro Yabuki's future work "The Princess", which is very cute.

"No! Now I want to watch "Death Note"!"

Fukada Nagato overcame his original intention of reading comics, stopped watching cute girls, and started watching "Death Note".

"The name of this chapter is "Simple"?What exactly is it? "

With curiosity, he couldn't wait to look inside.

"Wait a minute! Although this Mikai Sand is very cute, who is she? Why is there another Death God? It's called Rem, and she's much more handsome than Luc."

"No, no, I don't understand at all!"

The content of the booklet of "Death Note" is only the first 24 chapters.

It is now serialized to Chapter No. 30.

The difference of only 7 episodes has made Fukada Nagato unable to contact the previous content.

Its information density is too great!
This is the difference between Death Note and most jump manga.

I can't understand the plot of the latest episode after only reading the booklet.

"Alaala, Yongren, you, a good student, have also started reading manga." His friend Xinyan came to him.

"Xinyan, have you read "Death Note"?" Fukada Yongren asked hurriedly, not caring about his friend's ridicule.

"Of course. You must read "Death Note"."

"Then who is this Mikai Sand? Why does Yue have to kill her?"

Fukada Nagato's eyes full of curiosity made Xinyan feel very comfortable.

"Mi Haisha is the second Kira, she also has a death notebook, and she also has death protection..."

"Wait! Who's the second Kira?"

"How many words have you seen?"

"Chapter 24."

"Oh, I see, the Kira who killed people live on TV is the second Kira, that is, Mi Haisa..."

Shinhiko told Fukada Nagato the plot of "Death Note" bit by bit, allowing him to gradually understand it all.

"You are watching the latest episode of "Death Note"," Xinyan moved a chair to sit next to him, "I haven't watched it yet, let's watch it together."

"Okay."

The appearance of Mihaisha made Ya Shenyue very embarrassed.

Mi Haisa's parents were killed, and it was Kira who held justice for her.

If L knew that Mi Haisha was familiar with him, then he would doubt himself even more.

But now because of Rem's threat, he cannot get rid of the hidden danger of Mihaisha.

When he was in school, Yue began to associate with Hana Takada, the University of East University, in order to alleviate his suspicion.

After school, Yue went to the hotel where L was staying.

After some testing, L said:
"Yue is not Kira, or if Yue is Kira, I will be very embarrassed."

"Because Yue is my first friend."
