Comic cheating, dream-eating life

At three o'clock on Friday afternoon, Nan Shiki still hadn't drawn to a level that satisfied him.

Gatanjea, Gatanjea! His head was full of Gatanjea!

It seemed as if his inspiration was bound by tentacles. His mind was in a mess and he just kept drawing mechanically. Even he didn't know what he was drawing and when he would finish.

He didn't notice Yoshida Koji walking into the studio.

Because the work on "The First Ultraman" started at four o'clock in the afternoon, the villa studio was empty, with only Yoshida and Nan Shiki.

Looking at Nan Shiki who didn't notice him, Yoshida Koji could only cough and said, "The results of this newspaper are the first."

"Yeah." Nan Shiki just nodded.

Seeing that he was unmoved, Yoshida changed the subject.

"How is the manuscript this week?" Yoshida asked.

The assistant said that the serialization this week was not smooth. Spring, summer and autumn were stuck at a point and had not been completed. Yoshida Koji came to ask.

"Finished? Finished!" Nan Shiki was shocked. He flipped through the pages and then suddenly realized, "Oh, it's not finished yet."

"Not finished yet? What's going on?" Yoshida Koji asked in confusion.

"The final boss is very dissatisfied."

Nan Shiki's right hand kept moving, and his left hand handed a finished Gatanjea setting map to Yoshida Koji without raising his head.

Then he continued to draw comics.

Yoshida Koji took it and looked at the black fog, red light, and tentacles waving, which was real and inexplicably scary.

"Isn't it great?" he said.

"Not at all!" Nan Shiki shook his head: "I'll give you the finished draft later, I need to think about it more."

Yoshida asked: "But what about serialization? There's no time?"

Nan Shiki looked up at him, revealing a forehead wet with sweat, and the hair on the forehead stuck together, very embarrassed: "Let's stop publishing first!"

Yoshida Koji was stunned. He had never seen Nan Shiki like this before.

He commented on Nan Shiki as being at ease and familiar with the subject.

A high school student could easily complete the weekly serialization, surpassing a group of cartoonists and achieving the current achievement of being the first in "Weekly Shonen Jumk", and he could also open two comics at the same time and freely.

The word "embarrassed" seems to have never been associated with cartoonists Chun Xia Qiu.

But now think about it, the invincible Chun Xia Qiu is just a boy who just turned 18.

Yoshida Koji has been with Nan Shiki for two and a half years. Watching him along the way, he actually felt a little distressed at this time.

"Then let's take a break." Yoshida smiled reluctantly: "Put aside the comics first. You should have a good rest and change your mindset at this time."

"That's right." Nan Shiki nodded.

...

On Saturday, Nan Shiki arrived at the zoo.

This is the zoo near Toei University. He is surrounded by his family, Haruka, Shana and Chiaki.

In the past two years, we have rarely gone out together to relax.

Taking advantage of this break, I took my family with me and changed my mindset.

There is actually an aquarium in the zoo here.

When Minami Shiki saw the sea otter, she stayed where she was.

The lazy look of the sea otter, considering her own dilemma of having no ideas, Minami Shiki suddenly thought that what Hiramaru Ichiya said was right.

"The sea otters in the aquarium are better than people."

It's been a long time since she went out with Haruka and Shiki. Chiaki was very happy today.

"What's wrong?" She was always focused on Minami Shiki and tugged at the corner of Minami Shiki's clothes.

"Nothing." Minami Shiki rubbed her head and answered with a smile.

"Where's Shana?" Minami Shiki looked around and saw that there were only Haruka and Chiaki around, so she asked.

"I saw the monkey mountain to the south of the aquarium and ran over in a hurry." Chiaki said.

Minami Shiki shook her head: "I'm really impatient, so let's go there too."

...

At the monkey mountain, Shana was looking at the monkeys with shining eyes.

"Banana! Want some?"

This is an interactive prop bought at Monkey Mountain. As soon as Shana held out the banana, a monkey snatched it away and laughed at her.

"What!" Shana was furious.

Just then, Nan Siji and the others came over. Qianqiu saw this scene and laughed, but was hit on the head by a banana peel thrown by the monkey.

Now two people are angry.

Nan Siji looked at the two people with bared fangs and claws, and then looked at the monkey inside who was patting his butt and mocking. At this time, he couldn't tell who was the higher animal.

The breeze came slowly, and Nan Siji closed his eyes.

A cool breeze touched Nan Siji's face.

He opened his eyes and saw Chunxiang's palm.

"Are you uncomfortable?" She asked with concern.

"I just didn't rest well."

Now he is like Dagu. He dreams of the terrifying darkness as soon as he falls asleep, and Gatanjea's eyes are fixed on him.

"I'll go take a rest nearby. I'll leave the two of them to you."

"Well, have a good rest."

As soon as she sat on the bench on the left side of the rockery, Nan Shiki inadvertently discovered that there were several familiar faces opposite the rockery.

Takagi Akito, Aoki Hong, and Iwase Aiko, whom she met in Toei last time.

Nan Shiki didn't care and closed her eyes to rest.

It was their voices that reached her ears, and I, Nan Shiki, didn't eavesdrop.

During the conversation, it turned out that it was Iwase Aiko who asked Aoki Hong to meet Takagi Akito.

Takagi Akito and Iwase Aiko are old classmates.

In the third year of junior high school, Takagi chose Mashiro between Iwase and Mashiro.

Between studies and comics, comics are more important.

Iwase Aiko was very unwilling to be dumped, but seeing Takagi Akito's efforts until now, she felt that she should recognize Takagi's efforts in comics, so they met today.

Minami Shiki was shocked.

"Recognize the other party's efforts? What a condescending attitude."

She was even more arrogant than the previous Aoki Hong.

Iwase Aiko gave Takagi a novel, "Green Graduation" written by herself.

She was admitted to the Department of Literature of Toei University and published a novel at the same time. She is a very outstanding person.

"Takagi-kun, I think you can definitely write novels!"

"What?"

"Takagi-kun should write novels instead of comics. Novels are more superior as a culture."

"Yeah," Takagi adjusted his glasses and his tone became colder: "Compared to novels, comics are boring. But I still want to draw comics."

Iwase said: "It's weird that you know you're bored and still want to draw comics!"

Takagi scolded: "Of course I can't really feel bored!"

Then he reacted and apologized softly: "Sorry, but don't talk about superiority to someone who already has a goal and works hard for it."

Aoki Hong said: "I think so too. Whether it's comics or novels, they can make people happy. This is common. Millions of people buy "jumk" every week and get happiness from it. I think this is a very meaningful thing."

"Millions... I only have 30,000 copies of my book."

Iwase Aiko, who didn't know much about comics, only realized the importance of "Weekly Shonen Jumk" at this time.
