A middle school cartoonist

After leaving Makoto Takahashi, Yoshida wandered the streets like a zombie...

Every time he recalled Makoto Takahashi's dejected expression, as the editor-in-chief, Yoshida felt a sense of boredom... This was the first time Yoshida had seen Makoto Takahashi in such a state since his debut as a cartoonist. Such a helpless and helpless cartoonist!

Previously, Yoshida didn't want Makoto Takahashi to be too desperate, and he didn't want Makoto Takahashi to start serializing comics in an almost "burning life" way, so he took the initiative to apply to the editor-in-chief of Bottle to let a certain secondary cartoonist be responsible for education and guidance. The talented painter Mashiro girl hopes to take this opportunity to distract Takahashi Makoto...

However, it is precisely because of this reason, and precisely because he tried his best to recommend Makoto Takahashi to be responsible for guiding and educating the Mashiro girl in front of the editor-in-chief of Bottle, that a certain middle-level manga artist who has always been full of confidence was stimulated and attracted by Mashiro. The girl's talent for drawing beyond common sense was so affected that Makoto Takahashi was unable to continue completing the manga "One Punch Man" and even began to doubt his professionalism as a cartoonist...

Originally, Yoshida's idea was good and right, but things eventually turned out like this... Is this probably a case of good intentions leading to bad things?

"Maybe I should do something..." A certain editor who was just wandering aimlessly like a zombie quickly got rid of this [guilt and self-blame] mode after experiencing self-criticism and regret. , "Not only because Cheng is currently being serialized in weekly and monthly magazines... More importantly, as the editor-in-chief of the cartoonist Phoenix Academy, and as a friend of Cheng, I cannot and will not allow Cheng to Such a sad exit from the comics industry!”

Help Takahashi Makoto regain confidence...

Help Takahashi Makoto get rid of the fearful control once brought by the talented painter Mashiro...

Help a middle-class cartoonist to find the world where you are again... er, no, it should be to find the confidence of being a crazy cartoonist again!

Although it felt like a long time passed, it actually only took about an hour... After a certain editor-in-chief, Yoshida, understood the key points, he immediately wiped away his previous depression and quickly cheered up! Because as an adult, an editor-in-chief knows that whether it is regret or self-blame, if humans are immersed in these negative emotions, they will not be able to change anything and can only make the situation worse!

"Should I go back and comfort Cheng now? But I've tried it before..." There was a hesitant look on his face. Although he knew that this was of little significance, Yoshida hesitated for a moment and decided to return the same way. Let’s try again... But just when Yoshida was about to take action, his cell phone rang at an untimely moment! "Hey! At this time...huh? It's Iida..."

When he saw the call from Editor Iida, Yoshida would first think of the genius-level Mashiro girl, and then he would naturally think of the second-year manga artist under his command who had already started to doubt his life... so he looked at his phone. On the caller ID, Yoshida held the phone with a complicated expression, but did not answer the call immediately!

If it hadn't been for the newcomer's application to the editor-in-chief of the bottle, Yoshida would definitely not have thought of taking the opportunity to distract Takahashi Makoto. Naturally, there would have been no subsequent contact between Takahashi Makoto and the Mashiro girl, let alone a series of subsequent events. It happened... So it is naturally impossible to say that Yoshida has no resentment towards this female junior colleague!

But Yoshida also knows very clearly that for the [Takahashi Makoto's Decadence] incident that happened on his side, of course he cannot entirely blame the junior newcomers!

It is a matter of course that every conscientious editor is responsible for the cartoonists under his command... Not to mention this newcomer, even Uncle Hattori, Yujiro, and even Yoshida are noticing When the cartoonists under his command are in poor condition, they will also try their best to help them!

So the grievances are grievances, but from his own standpoint and the moral quality of a professional editor, Yoshida said that he cannot have hatred for Iida, a junior newcomer... After all, if you really want to count, what caused all this to happen, in the final analysis Or because of myself!

Therefore, after much hesitation, Yoshida chose to answer the call of this female junior!

"Yoshida-senpai, where are you now?"

Previously, the two editors-in-chief, Yoshida and Iida, left the headquarters of the weekly editorial department together. Due to a common road trip, the two of them walked together for a distance that was neither far nor close... The reason why I say this is because During this not-so-distant journey, Yoshida and Iida's favorability level improved a bit, but it was not as high as "I will leave the group today"!

And along the way, the two editors in charge still had some exchanges... Of course, from the perspective of editor Iida, it was more of a constant expression of gratitude than an exchange of words!

Mashiro Shoujo has made significant progress in comics during this period. Although there are still many problems in the plot of the comics, compared with the previous situation [which required extremely brutal brain power to understand], it is enough. This made Ayano Iida, a new editor, excited and happy... So naturally, this new female editor was very grateful to Yoshida who took the initiative to apply for Makoto Takahashi to guide and educate the Mashiro girl!

"I'm about to go back to Mr. Hououin Kyouma..." Hearing the other party's slightly excited voice, Yoshida frowned slightly! Yoshida knew the reason for the other party's excitement very well, it was nothing more than that Mashiro Girl had made a significant improvement in comics... But it was precisely because of this that Yoshida frowned in annoyance!

After all, it was because of Mashiro Girl that Takahashi Makoto would...

"Eh? Go back again?" Editor Iida seemed to be quite incomprehensible to Yoshida's behavior, "But senior..."

"By the way, Iida!" Although he knew that he should not blame this new junior colleague for the matter of Takahashi Makoto, Yoshida still interrupted the other party's unfinished words somewhat impolitely, "About letting Mr. Hououin Kyouma guide Mashiro Girl's comics... Let's find a time to talk! Now I have to go to Mr. Hououin Kyouma to deal with some things, so you go back to the editorial department first!"

"Yeah, okay, Yoshida senior!" Although Iida Ayano is a new editor, this does not mean that she is a newcomer in the workplace, and she can naturally I could hear something wrong in Yoshida's tone...

"Then let's do this..." Just when Yoshida was about to hang up the phone, he was confused by the question from the new editor Iida...

"Wait a minute, Yoshida-senpai!" Hearing that Yoshida was about to end the call, Iida Ayano didn't want to waste the other party's time, so she went straight to the point, "The comic manuscript of Mr. Hououin Kyouma...can I take it back for you first?"

"Hmm...eh?" Yoshida's expression instantly became very exciting, "Acheng's comic manuscript...is it the comic manuscript of the latest episode of the comic "One Punch Man"?"

"Yes!" If Iida Ayano could see Yoshida's expression on the phone, maybe she wouldn't say it so calmly, right? "In order to guide Mashiro-chan, Mr. Hououin Kyouma specially provided Mashiro-chan with a comic manuscript that has not yet been serialized as a reference...So, Yoshida-senpai, the comic manuscript of this episode of the comic "One Punch Man", can I take it back to the editorial department for you first?"

Acheng, didn't you say that you couldn't draw because of the stimulation?

Didn't you say that you wanted to give up your career as a manga artist because you were so frustrated?

Then why did the completed manga end up in the hands of Iida Ayano? ? ?

My guilt before...

My self-blame before...

Everything was just deliberately created by you, Takahashi Makoto, a devilish and evil guy, to get pleasure! ! !

After instantly thinking about the whole thing, Yoshida's string of rationality... broke!

"Thank you for your help, Iida!" Although he was thanking her, Yoshida's face showed an expression of gritting his teeth, as if he wanted to cut her into eight pieces and eat them. "Now, I have something important to do. I'm going to have a good talk with that guy, Acheng... Well, talk in every sense!"

He rushed in all kinds of ways, but it was a pity that he was still a little late.
