A middle school cartoonist

According to the weekly serialization rules, the content of four episodes is enough to serialize for a whole month...

After the comic "One Punch Man" began serializing the [Deep Sea King], Yujiro spent a whole month very depressed! And the cause of all this is naturally the cartoonist Eiji Niizuma under his command... Of course, the editor-in-chief Yujiro has always felt that from another perspective, the cartoonist Hououin Kyoma is the real culprit!

Eiji Niizuma, who was evaluated as a [genius] cartoonist by the editor, did not get complacent because of this evaluation, nor did he give up his efforts because of this honor... However, this [hardworking genius] Eiji Niizuma, in completing the serialized comic manuscripts recently, although he has not reached the level of [slackness], but Yujiro can feel that this cartoonist under his command seems to spend too much time observing the comic manuscripts!

From the first week, Yujiro discovered that his cartoonist, Eiji Niizuma, spent most of his time on completing the cartoon manuscript on observing the "One Punch Man" cartoon... If this phenomenon only lasted for a few days, Yujiro would not say anything. After all, no matter how talented a cartoonist is, he is still a human being in essence. Besides, for someone like Eiji Niizuma, Yujiro would not think there is anything wrong with him being lazy occasionally!

But he did this almost every day for a whole month... This made Yujiro unable to sit idly by!

"I say, Niizuma-kun..." Yujiro came to Niizuma Eiji's studio and saw Niizuma Eiji squatting on a chair observing the weekly magazine that was released before. He was inexplicably depressed. "Are you still in the mood to read comics at this time?"

"Of course! Because Hououin's comic "One Punch Man" is super exciting!" Niizuma Eiji stared at the comic in his hand, without even raising his head, "Yujiro-san, the comic manuscript for serialization has been placed on the table..."

"Niizuma-kun, let's not talk about the comic manuscript for now..." Yujiro felt that he needed to have a good chat with Niizuma Eiji Talk, "Recently, whenever you finish the comic manuscript, you start to read the previous serialized content of the comic "One Punch Man" repeatedly, and even waste your rest time..."

"Because Mr. Hououin's "One Punch Man" is super interesting!" After changing to a sitting position that he thought was comfortable but others thought was extremely awkward, Eiji Nizuma looked down at the comic and casually perfunctorily said to Yujiro, "Compared to sleeping and other things, reading interesting comics is more important!"

"... Nizuma-kun, didn't you say before that you wanted to compete with Mr. Hououin Kyouma? ?" Seeing Eiji Niizuma's obsessive behavior, Yujiro hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "Instead of reading the comic "One Punch Man" repeatedly, it's better to think of some interesting plots..."

"But Mr. Hououin's "One Punch Man" is super interesting!" Niizuma Eiji held the comic in both hands and said without raising his head, "And the skills shown by Mr. Hououin in the recent serialization... are very powerful!"

"I also know that the plot of the comic "One Punch Man" is very interesting..." Yujiro will have the completed " He put the comic manuscript of "My Hero Academy" into his bag, and then stared at Eiji Niizuma seriously, "But Niizuma-kun, you keep watching the comic "One Punch Man" over and over again... don't you feel bored?"

"No, because Hououin-sensei's comics are very interesting!"

"... Do you think comics can be watched repeatedly just because they are interesting?" No matter how wonderful the comic manuscript is, as long as you watch it two or three times, you can almost remember the content and plot in your head... So Yujiro can't understand Eiji Niizuma's abnormal behavior at all! "I even speeded up the process of completing my comics because I wanted to have more time to read comics... Is it really necessary to do this?"

"It is necessary! Because Hououin's comics are very interesting..."

"..." Seeing that Nizuma Eiji kept emphasizing the point that "comics are interesting", Yujiro, who had a look of being annoyed, had given up the idea of ​​continuing to question Nizuma Eiji...

Because Yujiro was sure that according to Nizuma Eiji's current level of "obsession", no matter what he asked next, the other party would definitely answer with "Hououin's comics are very interesting"!

And there was another reason why Yujiro didn't say anything to show his presence...

After putting away the comics, Yujiro handed the weekly magazine containing the fourth episode of the comic "One Punch Man [Unyielding Justice]" to Nizuma Eiji!

"Oh, is this the weekly magazine released today? The fourth chapter of "One Punch Man [Unyielding Justice]"... I've been looking forward to it for a long time!" Nizuma Eiji didn't mean to be polite at all, he took the weekly magazine and started to read it impatiently...

"Nizuma-kun, take a closer look at the content of this comic "One Punch Man"! I think..." After a slight hesitation, Yujiro swallowed back what he wanted to say before! "Oh, forget it! After you finish reading it, you should understand what I want to say!"

"Oh, oh, oh... Although it's just a C-class hero, the performance of [Unlicensed Knight] is very cool!" Nizuma Eiji wiped his tears and shouted in an extremely excited tone, "Come on! Beat the monster [Deep Sea King]! Oh, oh, oh..."

Listening to Nizuma Eiji's call, Yujiro didn't complain this time... After all, when Yujiro was observing this episode in the weekly editor's base camp, it seemed that he was more excited than Nizuma Eiji!

But... Yujiro, it seems that Nizuma Eiji didn't hear what you just said, right?

"Eh? This part of the plot... um..." Nizuma Eiji seemed to be confused about the plot in the comics, and he was no longer excited and excited... After seeing the change in the expression on Nizuma Eiji's face, Yujiro nodded secretly!

The plot of the fourth episode of the comic "One Punch Man [Unyielding Justice]" serialized in this weekly magazine is also the reason why Yujiro chose to find Nizuma Eiji today!

"This part of the plot seems to be somewhat similar... Well, after all, they are both hero comics!" Eiji Niizuma slowly flipped through the comic in his hand, but couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "No, it's different from my comic! Yujiro-san!"

"Niizuma-kun, did you notice it too?" Hearing Eiji Niizuma's call, Yujiro pointed at the comic in the other's hand, and his expression became a little serious, "The content of this chapter of Mr. Hououin Kyouma is somewhat similar to the plot of the second chapter of your "Hero Academia"!"

No Izuku Midoriya, who has any ability, rushed to the bandit [Mud] without hesitation because he wanted to save his classmate Bakugo Katsuki...

[Unlicensed Knight], who can only be regarded as an ordinary person, stood in front of the monster [Deep Sea King] who had defeated many heroes because he wanted to save the humans in the shelter and Genos who was [unable to fight]...

Izuku Midoriya knew that he had no ability and knew that it would be useless even if he went up at this time, but... his body had already acted involuntarily before thinking!

[Unlicensed Knight] knew that he was not expected and knew that he could not beat the monster [Deep Sea King], but... it was not a question of winning or not, but he had to stand in front of [Deep Sea King]!

Izuku Midoriya and [Unlicensed Knight], both are equally weak and ordinary... but equally great, and equally qualified to be called [heroes]!

What really surprised Eiji Niizuma was the plot after the fourth episode of the comic "One Punch Man [Unyielding Justice]"!

After indirectly helping Bakugo Katsuki, Izuku Midoriya did not receive recognition and praise from the crowd, but was criticized and taught a lesson by the group of powerless heroes before...

And after [Unlicensed Knight] risked his life to resist the monster [Deep Sea King], he was ridiculed and mocked by some dark-minded humans...

Izuku Midoriya finally got the recognition of the first hero...

[Unlicensed Knight] also gained the recognition of the protected humans under Saitama's self-defilement...

"It's just that the plot is somewhat similar..." Niizuma Eiji knew what Yujiro wanted to say Then he shook his head and said, "Yujiro-san, you know, Mr. Hououin had already completed some of the comics for One Punch Man before I started to conceive Hero Academy, so it's not strange to use similar plots... After all, both comics are based on the theme of [heroes]!"

"... That's right, after all, it's natural for comics based on the theme of [heroes] to have similar plots!" Yujiro was relieved to see that Nizuma Eiji didn't dwell on it... But when he saw Nizuma Eiji take out his phone and quickly After dialing a number, Yujiro's expression became a little strange, and he asked tentatively, "Hey, Nizuma-kun, who are you calling?"

"Of course it's Mr. Hououin!" Nizuma Eiji looked at Yujiro with a look of "You are really an idiot", "Although I am a little reluctant... but if you lose, you lose, just admit it frankly! Just win it back next time!"

"..." Yujiro, at this time, just smile...

"Moshimoshi Mr. Hououin!" Nizuma Eiji squatted on the chair, without showing the frustrated look of a loser on his face, "Man The fourth episode of One Punch Man is really exciting... Yeah, I lost this time! But next time... eh? Are we finally going to start drawing that? It's okay... Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it..."

"Nizuma-kun, you..." After Nizuma Eiji hung up the phone, Yujiro couldn't help but ask because he was a little concerned about what he accidentally heard, "The [that] you just mentioned... is it the new manga?"

"Of course!" Nizuma Eiji didn't seem to have any sense of confidentiality. In Yujiro's unbelievable eyes, he admitted it very frankly!

"Eh? But, but... Nizuma-kun, aren't you and Hououin Kyouma still serializing the manga now? And it's being double-serialized in the monthly and weekly magazines at the same time!" Yujiro felt like he was going crazy, and roared at Nizuma Eiji in a somewhat inappropriate manner, "You are actually planning to start a new series now? Let me make it clear first, no matter how interesting the manga is, the editorial department will never agree to it!"

"I know, I know! But, Yujiro-san..." In response to Yujiro's surprise, Nizuma Eiji spread his hands helplessly, "According to Mr. Fenghuangyuan, this is a punishment for losers!"
