A middle school cartoonist

Since the end of "Fullmetal Alchemist", Li Xuesong has not read "Shonen Jumk" for a long time. Needless to say, it is because of the new serialization, the comic "Uo and Tora"!

"Fullmetal Alchemist" by cartoonist Hououin Kyouma is a masterpiece in Li Xuesong's heart! So when "Fullmetal Alchemist" was finished, Li Xuesong was curious and started to read other comics by Hououin Kyouma, but whether it was "Inuyasha" or "Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan", Li Xuesong had no interest in these two comics about monsters! Although the comic "Fullmetal Alchemist" is a bit fantasy, it is at least within Li Xuesong's acceptance range, but Li Xuesong said that he has no love for comics about supernatural existence such as monsters and ghosts!

As for the new serialization of the comic "Uo and Tora", Li Xuesong gave up decisively after reading the first episode!

The plot at the beginning was too cliché. The protagonist, Chao Cangyue, had a legendary artifact at home. While obtaining the artifact, the protagonist also captured a powerful monster. Although he insisted on reading the first episode, Li Xuesong was a little disappointed! According to the popular youth comics nowadays, the cooler and stronger characters will become funny characters once they join the protagonist's team or become one of the protagonists, and the degree of funnyness is proportional to the original coolness. Even a powerful monster like Ahu can't escape!

And what's wrong with this style of painting? Li Xuesong was full of expectations at the time, hoping that Fenghuangyuan Xiongzhen's new comic "Chao and Tiger" would be drawn in the same type of comics as "Fullmetal Alchemist", but after just reading the beginning, Li Xuesong almost threw away the "Shonen Jumk" that he had finally grabbed!

Damn! Compared with "Fullmetal Alchemist", what's the matter with this rough style of painting? This level of style of painting is completely unacceptable!

Reader Li Xuesong, although he insisted on finishing one chapter, he no longer wanted to read the following content. He originally planned to stick to the end, but now... he died midway!

Of course, there are many readers who share the same idea as Li Xuesong! The previous "Fullmetal Alchemist" made readers very excited, both in terms of content and style, so they naturally have strong expectations for the new serialized comics. In addition, the comics serialized by Makoto Takahashi in recent years have a more delicate style. Although the character design is a bit weird, no matter which comic, there are more or less handsome men and beautiful women appearing!

But after the first episode of the newly serialized "Ushio to Tora" was published, many readers were stunned...

As the three comics of the Yokai era, Seshomaru, who is very handsome in "Inuyasha", has captured the hearts of many female readers with his handsome appearance and cold personality; and Nura Rikuo, who has transformed into the lord of demons and monsters in "Nura", always appears with an evil smile, and then conquers many monsters and readers with his cool and generous personality!

But the characters in "Ushio to Tora" have only appeared in one episode, and they have been strongly complained by readers! As the protagonist, Ushio Aotsuki, gives people the impression of being the protagonist of a boy's comic at first glance, but the monster named Ahu and the mysterious monsters that appeared later, unceremoniously destroyed the beautiful perception of monsters in the readers' minds through the two comics!

It's like when you know you're going to date a girl with twin tails, you subconsciously think of a girl with a bad temper, such as Toosaka, Rin, and Toosaka Rin! But when you meet, you find that she is completely different from Rin in the photo. Although she also has twin tails, but... ahem, that's right, the twin tails you meet, your fantasy is shattered, it's not the tsundere mount Kuroko, but Yuki's childhood sweetheart Io! ! !

Damn, such a curious twin tail... There is nothing more terrifying than this!

The readers' evaluation of Hououin Kyouma and "Ushio to Tora" is: the painting style is a bit bad, the story is old-fashioned, Kyouma is old, can he still make a living?

The editor-in-chief didn't say anything about the performance of "Ushio to Tora", but Yoshida still felt uncomfortable! After all, the manga artist named Hououin Kyouma, the first chapter of the previous serialized comics, has always occupied the first place without exception. However, this time, "Uo and Tora" has directly dropped to the first place... Although the editor-in-chief did not make any comments on this, Yoshida could fully perceive the true nature of the smiles on the faces of his colleagues - gloating!

At this moment, I could feel that I, the weak me who made the wrong choice, had been abandoned by the whole world! Yoshida muttered in his mouth, as if he had lost his soul, and slowly walked out of the door of the editorial department...

When Yoshida came to Takahashi Makoto's house in disappointment, the resentment on his body was very strong. Even Sadaharu, who had always been listless about everything, made an exception and looked at Yoshida twice, and then... and then continued to sleep on the ground!

"Tsk, my cat, have you reached the age where people dislike you? You exude ominous energy all over your body... The brainwashing drugs used by the organization to control you really have extremely powerful side effects!" Without stopping his brush, Takahashi Makoto just looked back at Yoshida, and continued to work, "The manga manuscript of "Ushio to Tora" is on the table, according to the previous agreement..."

"Ah Cheng, about the style of "Ushio to Tora"..." Yoshida flipped through the manga manuscript casually, his face became even more disappointed. He thought that the seventh place ranking would stimulate Takahashi Makoto to change the style, but... there was no change at all!

"Objection!" Takahashi Makoto didn't even raise his head, put the finished comic draft on the ground, handed it to Sadaharu to deliver, and continued to draw on the new manuscript paper! Because three comics are serialized at the same time, Takahashi Makoto will not finish the storyboard first and then draw the comic draft like before, after all, there is no time at all!

"Why?" Yoshida's tone was a little disappointed, but more of it was anger. "The ranking of the first episode is already seventh. I am sure that as long as the style of painting is slightly changed and the painting is a little more delicate, the ranking will be able to rise! Why do you..." "My stubborn cat, this world has become so corrupt, but you are still so irritable..." Takahashi Makoto sighed with some regret, put down the brush to rest for a while, and kept teasing the glass on his head. After a long while, he comforted quietly, "This is not good, not good... It will gradually step into the abyss of destruction! If you want to implement the theme of love and peace, you must be calm and peaceful. The state of unity between man and nature is not something that a mortal like you can understand!" What is going on? Takahashi Makoto, who usually clamors to destroy mankind and return the world to chaos, actually wants to implement love and peace? Looking at Takahashi Makoto who was quietly painting after resting enough, Yoshida's mouth twitched wildly. The whole character setting is wrong! "Takahashi Makoto!" Yoshida suddenly walked in front of Takahashi Makoto and stared at him seriously, "Can you draw comics more seriously? Where is the devil who wanted to dominate the comics world? Where is the second-year boy who wanted to challenge the comic giant? Your once proud and conceited soul is crying! Where is the ferocious beast hidden in your heart?"

It seems that Yoshida is also very hardworking to be able to say such second-year words! Ueno Aoi, who knew the reason for Takahashi Makoto's change, looked at Yoshida in surprise, shook her head sympathetically, and continued to work with her head down!

"Meow!" It was not Liuli who made such a cry, but Takahashi Makoto who had awakened the beast in his heart...

Takahashi Makoto, who squatted on the chair with his fists clenched to imitate cat claws, looked maliciously cute, which made Yoshida feel cold! It's not that Takahashi Makoto's cute skills are not high, but... a one-eyed human-faced cat keeps blinking and looking at people with an innocent face... In addition to making people feel cold, it is not cute at all!

"Puff..." The assistants with low sense of laughter couldn't help laughing. Yoshida fell into an awkward vortex in the laughter of the assistants, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching!

"Um, Mr. Yoshida, can I talk to you for a minute..." Ueno Aoi couldn't help it, got up and pulled Yoshida aside, suppressed the smile on her face, secretly glanced at Takahashi Makoto who was still teasing Liuli, and whispered, "Because Rina was taken back by Mr. Ogata yesterday, Acheng is a little..."

"Are you saying that Acheng has become like this because Rina left?" Yoshida looked back and found that Takahashi Makoto was quietly drawing comics again, with as much entanglement on his face as possible! It's just a separation from Rina, not a farewell forever, is it necessary to be like this? Don't say it's a second-year personality, the character setting has completely changed!

Although he wanted to complain about Takahashi Makoto's performance, Yoshida didn't say anything in the end. Instead, he picked up the comic manuscript on the table and flipped through it...

"Mr. Yujiro, when can I get the sample copy of the new issue of Shonen Jumk?" Nizuma Eiji hugged his legs and swayed on the chair, looking at Yujiro with a disappointed look on his face, "I'm looking forward to the new comics of Hououin and Ajoki!"

"Ajoki Yumeha's PCP has risen a little in the rankings in the last chapter! But Hououin Kyouma's Ushio and Tora has a ranking of..." Yujiro looked at Nizuma Eiji with a puzzled look on his face and asked in surprise "But the ranking of these two comics is quite different from your CROW! Why..."

"Mr. Yujiro, you all don't know... Does the editorial department think that the rise in the ranking of PCP is just a coincidence?" Eiji Niizuma looked at Yujiro with a proud look on his face, "And Mr. Houhouin's Ushio to Tora, this comic is a very powerful opponent! Because of that style, Ushio to Tora will surpass CROW in the future!"

Although Eiji Niizuma has a special ability to predict comics, Yujiro is a little skeptical this time!

Yujiro has also read the comic Ushio to Tora. The opening of the orthodox youth comic looks a bit old-fashioned, but that's fine; but the rough style of painting is the flaw of this comic! When Yujiro was reading the comic, he also considered that if the painting became more detailed and the style became more exquisite, maybe this comic could achieve better results!

However, Yujiro does not believe that such a clichéd story, coupled with a crude style of painting, can be successfully serialized without being cut off. It is already very good. "Uo and Tora" can actually surpass "CROW", and because of the crude style of painting, this possibility is basically zero!

"Dog monster, a hundred demons night parade, a pair of pants, super handsome beast spear sauce..." As usual, he kept making strange noises and began to draw quickly on the paper. However, what is different this time is that the keywords mentioned by Nizuma Eiji are all related to the comics of Hououin Kyouma!

Can Hououin Kyouma's "Uo and Tora" really surpass Nizuma Eiji's "CROW" with such a style of painting?

Looking at the newly married Eiji who entered the painting mode, Yujiro was a little speechless, but a little worried!
