Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 130

"Hi, Toriyama?"

After Li Wannian came out of Kodansha, he did not go back to the hotel. Instead, he went directly to Toriyama's residence according to the address on the phone.

"Li Sang, why are you here?"

Compared to Li Wannian's calmness, Toriyama Ming looked much surprised.

"Didn't I say on the phone yesterday that I wanted to come over?"

"But I thought you wouldn't be so fast!"

"Am I fast?"

"That's pretty fast!"

"I... something happened, why don't you invite me in first?"

Although Li Wannian felt that Toriyama's words were not a good word, he still explained patiently. At the same time, he looked around at the narrow corridor with poor sound insulation and kindly reminded him.

"Oh, okay, come in!"

After entering the room, Li Wannian looked around Toriyama's residence just like Toriyama Kazuhiko. Even compared to Toriyama Kazuhiko, Li Wannian observed more carefully.

"Toriyama, is this room really... occupied?"

As soon as he took two steps inside, Li Wannian saw a person standing in the living room, staring at him blankly.

The man's burning gaze and indescribable appearance left a deep impression on Li Wannian.

"Let me introduce you. This is my editor, Torishima Kazuhiko. This is my good friend, the author of these comics, long live Li Wannian!"

After Toriyama closed the door, he quickly came between the two and introduced each other to each other.

"Hello, Mr. Banzai, I am Torishima Kazuhiko, the editor of Shueisha!"

Torishima Kazuhiko naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he took the initiative to shake hands with him.

At this time, Li Wannian also knew the identity of the other party, the editor of Mina Toriyama, the future editor-in-chief of Shueisha's weekly "Sonen Jump", the chairman of Shueisha, and of course, the "big bad guy" Dr. Masilit in "Arale" .

Even to ordinary people, his last identity is far more famous than the previous ones.

Therefore, don’t offend anyone, especially famous cartoonists, who can turn you into a world-famous villain if you are not careful.

"Hello, Editor Bird Island, nice to meet you!"

After introducing each other, Toriyama didn't say anything more, but looked at Toriyama and winked at him wildly.

But Toriyama was confused and thought: Why is he looking at me?Is there any line for me now?

When Toriyama Kazuhiko saw that Toriyama hadn't taken any action yet and was just standing there looking silly and happy, Toriyama Kazuhiko felt tired!

As a friend, shouldn't you say something at this time?

It's a pity that Toriyama Na couldn't get the meaning of Toriyama Kazuhiko at all.

In desperation, Torishima Kazuhiko had no choice but to say: "I heard that Mr. Banzai went to Kodansha this morning? With your talent, you must have successfully become a serial manga artist for Kodansha, right?"

When Torishima said these words, Li Wannian was immediately alerted.Although Li Wannian didn't know what Toriyama Kazuhiko's intention was when he appeared here at this time, it was indeed an opportunity for him. If Kodansha couldn't get it through, could Shueisha serialize it?
"How can it be so fast? I went there today, mainly to meet and chat with Editor Kurihara, and to conceive new comics. I'm far from ready to join!"

The truth is of course not as good as what Li Wannian said, but from Torishima Kazuhiko's ears, he felt it was entirely possible!

"Kurihara Yoshinobu? The editor of "Three-eyed Child"? I didn't expect him to be the one to communicate with you!" Hearing Kurihara Yoshinobu's name, Torishima Kazuhiko felt even more depressed. He didn't expect Kodansha to view Li Wannian this way. middle?
"It's just for Mr. Tezuka's sake!"

"Why is there Mr. Tezuka here?"

Torishima Kazuhiko was really stupid now. He thought this was a good opportunity that he could miss, but he didn't expect that he missed it?He is clearly a big shot with a profound background!

"Yes, the main reason for coming to Neon this time is that I received the invitation from Mr. Tezuka!"

Although what Li Wannian said was true, he still concealed some important information. He was obviously ripping a tiger skin to make a coat, but it caused a great shock to the other two people in the room.

"God, Li Sang, you actually know Mr. Osamu Tezuka? You are so awesome!"

Toriyama, who was standing next to him, was so impressed with Li Wannian that he looked at him with little stars in his eyes.

"Brother, you should be more reserved! How can you repair it? This guy is too restless, isn't he?"

Toriyama Kazuhiko really didn't want to see Toriyama's embarrassing appearance, so he chose to stay out of sight and continued to focus on Li Wannian.

"I see, Mr. Banzai is so talented, so it is only natural that he can meet Mr. Tezuka!"

Although he already knew that his hope was slim, Torishima was not a person who would give up easily. In his opinion, as long as he still had a glimmer of hope, he could not consider himself a failure.

Therefore, he is still making the final effort.

The three of them were sitting in the living room. Torishima Kazuhiko continued: "I don't know, how much does Mr. Manzai know about our Shueisha?"

Hearing that Torishima Kazuhiko finally got to the point, Li Wannian had waited a long time.

Needless to say, Li Wannian is very familiar with Shueisha.

Shueisha's full name is "Shueisha Co., Ltd." and it belongs to the same Hitotsubashi Publishing Group as Shogakukan. In other words, its "Weekly Shonen Jump" and Shogakukan's "Weekly Shonen SUNDAY" are brothers.

Among the three major magazines, "Weekly Shōnen Jump", which was founded the latest, eventually became Neon's comic book magazine with the highest circulation. It has produced numerous masterpieces, such as "Dragon Ball", "Slam Dunk", "Hunter", etc. Da Migong Manga and so on.

When Li Wannian was at the animation company, he had a lot of dealings with "Weekly Shonen Jump", so he was an old acquaintance.

"I know a little bit about it. In my opinion, Shueisha, although it has been established for the shortest time, is the one I am most optimistic about among the three major societies!"

Torishima Kazuhiko did not expect that Li Wannian would have such a high opinion of his club, and he was overjoyed and said: "Can I ask the reason?"

"Of course that's your investigative supremacy! Although there are still some unreasonable things, comics, after all, are works that want readers to pay for them, so they naturally need their approval!"

"In that case, has Mr. Banzai ever wanted to come to our Shueisha? I think you can put your talents to good use here too!"

"Editor Torishima, even if you agree, can I serialize it in your company?"

"Of course that's not possible. With your talent, you shouldn't have to worry about the comic not passing our serialization meeting, right?"

"But I'm not a neon person after all!"

Hearing that this was what Li Wannian was worried about, Torishima Kazuhiko's face relaxed a lot, and he said confidently: "So what are you afraid of? It's not like my "Weekly Shonen Jump" has never been serialized by foreigners!"
