A middle school cartoonist

Every February is definitely a month worth looking forward to for many people, especially for unmarried boys and girls who are still in puberty...

Send out handmade magical chocolates, implement the belief of love, and erode the souls of the opposite sex on this special day. For girls, the important meaning of February is to conduct a rehearsal trial for the future job transfer to become a wife and young woman... This is the legendary trial called [If you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture a man's stomach]!

Waiting for the chocolates from the opposite sex, regardless of taste and use value, whether they can poison the gods of death, or are so delicious that they can produce the illusion of the [Big Bang] after eating, chocolates containing girls' hearts and love are the season of harvest for boys! Of course, the more important meaning of February is to conduct an investigation for future life in advance... After all, the story of "Double Food Diary" tells us that as long as the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint between food is reasonably utilized, even delicious and delicious dishes can also be used for retaliatory assassinations!

However, for the readers of "CLANNAD", the most important and most anticipated thing in February this year is that the comic "CLANNAD" will resume updating and resume serialization in the monthly magazine! And what makes readers most happy is naturally the news released by the monthly magazine in January. The entire issue of the monthly magazine in February will be the content of the comic "CLANNAD"!

"Oh my, if we can convince the commander to postpone the release date of the monthly magazine to the day of the holy war of the [FFF Group], that would be a real victory! That four-eyed commander is really stubborn this time..." Takahashi Makoto complained to Yoshida with a face full of regret, "And at the critical moment, my dear cat, you actually betrayed! Shouldn't the editor-in-chief of the cartoonist stand on the same front as the cartoonist? Choosing to betray at that time... My dear cat, you can still pretend to be nothing at night in the future "Do you want to sleep without doing anything? Doesn't your conscience hurt? Is your life still valuable?"

On a special day when the streets are full of [love shows and killing single cats and dogs], the monthly magazine published [the separation of Okazaki Tomoya and Furukawa Nagisa, a couple who are highly sought after by readers]... Perhaps through this incident, the [Single Cat and Dog Protection Association] may enshrine Takahashi Makoto, a married person, as the association's [honorary elder] or something, but...

The reason why Takahashi Makoto wants to do this is definitely with the awareness of [breaking up a couple], right? Hmm? How to break up? Reading comics, especially comics like "CLANNAD" that are very contagious, can easily make people sentimental... Especially on this special day, as long as you are not careful with your words and actions, tragedy or something that is popular will definitely happen!

If Takahashi Makoto really persuades editor-in-chief Sasaki to postpone the release date of the monthly magazine to that special day in February, the consequences... Yoshida shudders at the thought! So Yoshida decisively chose to stand in the same camp with the editor-in-chief this time, and issued a declaration against Takahashi Makoto...

"...In a sense, I saved the readers...a righteous partner!" The brief silence did not mean that Yoshida was persuaded by Takahashi Makoto's [mouth cannon], but simply because Yoshida should start to complain from there at the moment! Looking at the exhausted Takahashi Makoto in front of him, Yoshida sighed helplessly, "Hey, Makoto, I thought you would be resting at home at this time... Why are you in the editorial department of the monthly magazine?"

Although Takahashi Makoto completed enough comics to support one issue of the monthly magazine within the deadline, which surprised the editors of the monthly magazine... However, Yoshida, the editor-in-charge of Takahashi Makoto, knew very well that Takahashi Makoto risked his life to complete the specified comics within the specified time...

Several cartoonists on the cartoonist side, whether it was Ashiro Mumeha, Nizuma Eiji, or even the always passive little otter classmate, would enter a state of desperately completing the comics under various threats and inducements from Yoshida! However, what Yoshida meant by desperately was not just Takahashi Makoto's performance when drawing comics...

Whether it was momentum or enlightenment, without a strong will to support it, Takahashi Makoto could not complete a comic draft of sufficient weight within the deadline; without the physical strength of the demon king level to correspond to this will, he could only sigh that "the heart is willing but the strength is insufficient" in the end... After all, it is impossible for someone like Naruto to gain external level combat power by constantly strengthening his beliefs!

To do something, not only must you have the corresponding enlightenment will, but also the ability to match it... Although the statement is a bit cruel, in a sense, it is also an equivalent exchange!

If you don't finish the comic draft, you will die... or, if you don't finish the comic draft, you can't live!

Although these statements are a bit exaggerated, this is exactly what Takahashi Makoto showed when he completed the comic draft, and it is also what Yoshida felt from Takahashi Makoto!

"Rest? Humph, my beloved cat, it seems you still don't understand!" Takahashi Makoto leaned against the wall, rubbing his eyes gently, his tired face filled with endless expectations, "Slaughtering readers for pleasure at this critical moment... At this moment, how can I stay at home peacefully?"

"Yes, yes, I know that, but you have to take a rest, too!" Yoshida was angry and amused at Takahashi Makoto's ridiculous remarks. He spread his hands helplessly and entered the [good guy mode] again to comfort him, "I remember that you haven't had a good rest for a whole week, right? If you continue like this, you might collapse one day because your body can't bear it! If that happens, it is very likely that the comic will be forced to be cut off like Yashiro Mumengye back then... In this way, you will lose the opportunity to get pleasure from killing readers!"

"Humph, my cat, you are too sweet!" Takahashi Makoto shook his head gently and sat on the chair opposite Yoshida, "Even if I am now in a state of empty blood and empty mana... But as long as I go home and have a sleep, I can replenish my health and mana. !”

“No, how can such a thing be possible…”

“Hey, hey, hey, my cat, have you never played an RPG game? Basically, RPG games are set up like this. After returning home or entering a hotel to rest, not only can you replenish your life and mana, but even abnormal conditions can be restored!” Takahashi Makoto said as he began to flip through the monthly magazine “CLANNAD” on the table. After observing for a while, he complained to Yoshida, “Speaking of my cat, although I kindly made a reminder on the front page of the comic that [it will be better if you add music], how many readers do you think will follow my will?”

“Well…” After all, many of the readers are students and office workers. It’s already good to be able to read comics in their spare time! And the luxury of reading comics while listening to music… To be honest, Yoshida really thinks that not many people will do this!

But when he thought about how Makoto Takahashi's hard work didn't achieve the best results in the end... Yoshida didn't know how to comfort the middle school manga artist in front of him!

"But this kind of thing doesn't matter anymore..." As a crazy manga artist, does Makoto Takahashi need others to comfort him? "As long as some people, even just a small number of people follow my will and observe the "CLANNAD" manga according to my method, then the original purpose has been achieved!"

"Huh?" Since he specially composed music for the manga, why is he so indifferent now? Yoshida looked at Takahashi Makoto with some doubts, and did not speak rashly, but began to think about Takahashi Makoto's intention in his heart...

"Once there are people on the reader's side, even if it is only a small number of people, who listen to the music while observing the comics, then they will not be able to help showing off to others!" Takahashi Makoto showed a look of contempt on his face, ignoring Yoshida's face full of black lines, and began to describe the bad nature of human beings in a frenzy, "Human beings are creatures, and the thing they like to do most is to show off! Show off that they are better than others, show off that they know more than others! And everyone has a desire to compare. As the object of showing off... My cat, what do you think will happen next?"

"Even if you have finished reading the comics, even if you are tortured to death by the plot of the comics... After hearing others say how good the music is, In this case, those readers who have read the comics will still want to listen to the music and observe the comics again..." Yoshida already understood what Makoto Takahashi wanted to say...

"What makes this world corrupt and degenerate is indeed the original sin of [vanity] carried by human beings!" Makoto Takahashi sighed a little disappointedly, and said helplessly, "Why can't human beings be honest with each other? Comparison, deception, showing off... What's the point of spending time on these boring things? If you want to build a beautiful new world, the most indispensable thing is [love and healing]!"

"...You are the least qualified person to say this!" Thinking back to the plot of the comic "CLANNAD", Yoshida said this sentence almost with gritted teeth!

"Eh? My dear cat, as the editor-in-chief, you should have read the comics in advance..." After getting Yoshida's nod, Takahashi Makoto showed a surprised look on his face, "So... since you, my dear cat, have already read the rest of "CLANNAD", why are you still waiting for my words about [love and healing]?"

"This..." A certain chuunibaku manga artist was talking nonsense seriously, which made Yoshida speechless for a moment!

"Although I also feel very sad about the part about Okazaki Tomoya and Furukawa Nagisa..." Liar! Takahashi Makoto, you are smiling now, but you can't see any sadness at all! "But my cat, the love between father and daughter, the love between father and son... Isn't this a story full of [love and healing]? Are you going to deny the meaning of all this?"

"Cheng, stop talking..." As Takahashi Makoto led him, Yoshida began to recall the story of the comic "CLANNAD", and his nose began to feel a little sour...

"Hey, my cat, you saw Shio hugging Okazaki Tomoya's neck, say..." Takahashi Makoto did not let go of the pursuit because Yoshida turned his head away, but was determined to continue the mental torture to the end...

But it was a pity that at this time, the phone at the monthly editor's side began to ring...

"Tsk! At this time..." After complaining a little unhappily, Takahashi Makoto immediately showed a satisfied smile on his face, "But forget it, after all... the fun has already begun!"

Since the first call, it seemed to have a chain reaction, and the ringing of the phone one after another announced that the monthly editorial headquarters had ushered in a strong invasion called "Phone Storm"...

This is why Takahashi Makoto would rather not rest and come to the editorial headquarters today!

It seems that the cold is almost healed, although the voice sounds still. Alas, I'm sorry to say, dear readers.
