Comic cheating, dream-eating life

On Saturday, at 8:30, Minami Shiki arrived at Yueisha. ░▒▓█►─═  ═─◄█▓▒░

As soon as he took the elevator to the editorial office of Weekly Shonen JUMK, Zuo Zuomu stood up and took him to the lounge to talk.

Zuo Zuomu pointed to the chair opposite, and after Minami Shiki sat down, he also sat opposite.

"There are still six chapters?"

Zuo Zuomu held his chin with both hands and stared at Minami Shiki.

Without him explaining in detail, Minami Shiki also knew what he meant, so he nodded: "Well, the content of the last six chapters is all about the final battle. After defeating Gatanjea and saving the world, the Tiga comics will naturally end."

Zuo Zuomu naturally knew Gatanjea. As the editor-in-chief, he would have a certain understanding of his works, especially works like Ultraman Tiga.

"Well, then let's inform the readers." Zuo Zuomu said.

"Yes."

At this point, Yoshida Koji brought two glasses of juice and placed them in front of the two.

"You are only 18 years old, so drink the juice." Zuo Zuomu raised the juice.

"Thank you."

The two clinked their glasses and drank it all.

"Okay," Zuo Zuomu stood up and asked Yoshida Koji: "Have Fujimoto and the others arrived?"

Yoshida replied: "Yes, they are already waiting in Conference Room 1."

"Well, let's start now. The Ultra Brothers' plan." Zuo Zuomu walked in front.

...

Today we are here to discuss the Ultra Brothers serialization of Spring, Summer and Autumn.

In order not to cause trouble, the editorial department assumed the responsibility of a third party and found many reliable authors for Nan Shiji.

So it was a mutual interview between the two parties.

When we walked into the first conference room, there were quite a few people sitting there, some were bored, and some were sitting upright.

Seeing Zuo Zuomu coming, they all stood up.

"You all know Chun, Summer and Autumn, the author of "Ultraman Tiga"."

"Of course!" Everyone nodded.

"Then," Zuo Zuomu glanced at Nan Shiji and introduced the authors in the conference room to Nan Shiji one by one.

The first one was a thin male college student with a shy smile.

"Fujimoto Tree, a new manga artist. His "Love Makes People Blind" won the Manga Newcomer Award. His painting style is unique and his works are unique. He is a very talented author."

"Fujimoto Tree?" Nan Shiki's eyebrows jumped.

"Hey! Teacher Chun Xiaqiu!"

Fujimoto Tree stepped forward, grabbed Nan Shiki's palm, and shook it violently. His face quickly approached, and Nan Shiki leaned back: "I like "Ultraman Tiga" very much. I am your loyal fan!"

Nan Shiki looked at his grinning face and felt a season in his heart.

Could he be the second freelance manga artist in the future, Fujimoto Tree?

"Hello." Nan Shiki shook hands with him for a while, and Fujimoto Tree still didn't let go.

"When I was a child, I read "Baki" and "Claymore". I especially like this type of comics. Monsters are so huge creatures that they must be drawn with blood and flesh flying everywhere!"

Fujimoto Tree still chattered non-stop.

Nan Shiki struggled twice, but he still didn't know how to force it.

It wasn't until Nan Shiki exerted force with his right hand that he screamed "Ah" and involuntarily let go of his hand.

Fujimoto blew hard on his palm, looking at Nan Shiki with tears of grievance and regret.

"Ahem," Zuo Zuomu turned his head and introduced another author to Nan Shiki: "Mr. Akasaka Akira, who used to draw comics for the publication of novels at Kadokawa Bunko. When he heard about recruiting drawing partners, he contacted the editorial department."

It doesn't sound very reliable.

Zuo Zuomu pushed his glasses and continued: "Mr. Akasaka actually prepared a new comic called "ib Quick Bullet". I read part of the content and it's very interesting."

"I really hope to cooperate with Mr. Chun Xiaqiu." Akasaka Akira smiled, shook hands with Nan Shiki, and immediately let go.

Compared with Fujimoto, he is indeed a normal person.

But Nan Shiki remembered who he was, the author of the popular anime in the future.

Next one...

Minami Shiki looked over and saw a lady with very fair skin, beautiful long black hair, red hair, teardrop moles at the corners of her eyes, and stood there quietly with her hands crossed. She was a Japanese-style beauty.

"Could it be Gotouge Koyoharu?"

Minami Shiki couldn't help but get curious.

Because the first two were both heavyweights.

Fujimoto Shu, the freelance manga artist who drew "Fire Fist" and "Chainsaw Man", and Akasaka Akira, the author of the collapsed "Kaguya-sama: Love is War".

Considering the previous manga artists, Minami Shiki mistook this lady for Gotouge Koyoharu, the author of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba".

"Fallen Angel Saint Black Cat..."

"No no no no, editor-in-chief!" The originally quiet beauty suddenly went crazy. She ran to Zuo Zuomu and said nervously and annoyedly: "I have changed my name! I don't know anything about Fallen Angel Saint Black Cat! I'm Gokou Ruri!"

"Ah, sorry, I forgot." Zuo Zuomu replied with a smile.

It was a look that Nan Shiki had never seen before. Compared with the juniors like Majo Takashi, the Holy Angel... ah, no, Gokou Ruri was more like a spoiled child.

"Gokou Ruri, 22 years old this year, graduated from university. She has been submitting articles to the editorial department since high school. After several years of training, her painting skills have become very good." Zuo Zuomu explained: "But the plot is very poor, with many inexplicable settings. Otherwise, it might be serialized."

"Yeah," Nan Shiki nodded, it was in the category of excellent painting skills but poor brain.

He pointed at Ms. Gogen, who was wearing a black dress and white stockings, and asked curiously: "Fallen Angel Saint Black Cat, is it Chuunibyou?"

"Ah!" She went crazy and pounded the ground: "I'm really sorry that I was Chuunibyou in the past!"

Nan Shiki's eyes lit up and he looked at Zuo Zuomu.

"Gogen Ruri is really interesting."

The next three teachers were all over 40 years old.

They have more than ten years of experience in the industry.

Compared to the previous ones, they seemed much more restrained.

If you haven't made a name for yourself at the age of 40, you really don't have much talent.

So drawing for Ultraman is a very precious opportunity, and you must hold on to it!

They brought their own comics and handed them to Nan Shiki.

Nan Shiki took them with both hands and sat down to read them.

"The painting is solid, and the framework is also well used."

In addition, there is no black history, and they are all honest people.

Nan Shiki has passed 80% of it in his heart, and took out the storyboard of the Ultra Brothers from his side and handed it to the three old predecessors.

"Sign a confidentiality agreement first." Zuo Zuomu interrupted.

"Of course."

After signing, they chose "Ultraman Jack", "Ultraman Taro" and "Ultraman Eddie" respectively.

"Please draw three chapters first, and then we will make a decision. Of course, it won't be in vain. If the result is something you don't want to see, the fee for one page is 50,000 yen." Nan Shiki said.

This is higher than the fee for jumk.

"Of course." They looked at each other and stood up: "I'll take my leave first."

"Please take care."

Nan Shiki watched them leave, feeling emotional.

"It turns out that cartoonists are the type who can't socialize."
