Comic cheating, dream-eating life

Looking at the sky, the evening breeze was blowing.

Akane Shinno said first.

"When I was young, my father bought me a copy of "Dragon Ball" because I learned a song for the first time."

"That was the first single volume, and I still remember it very clearly."

"It has a green base. It has the words "DRAGON BALL" and below it is the name of Master Akira Toriyama."

"That was the first time I read comics. There was a sense of 'Wow! So amazing! "The mood. This kind of animal is so interesting, and that animal is also very strange."

“It’s like being in another world!”

Nan Shiki and Shiratori Ciichi didn't speak, and listened quietly.

"I read that comic book over and over again. Every time I saw something interesting, the cover turned white."

"But because I showed my addiction to comics, my father started to ban me from reading comics."

"Gradually, I forgot about comics and the other world until..."

Shinno Akane's eyes overflowed with tears, reflecting starlight under the streetlights. Just like a lake of spring water under the moonlight, if you drop it with a stone, the waves will sparkle.

"When I was in college, my classmates brought "Dragon Ball Super" to watch."

"I didn't recognize it. I just felt it was so familiar... it felt so familiar."

"Looking at the scene after scene, I burst into tears and couldn't stop it."

"Eh? Why? Why am I crying. Why can't I wipe it clean..."

Her face was expressionless, and two lines of tears ran down her cheeks. Shinno Akane wiped it with her hands and couldn't stop.

"Please use my handkerchief."

Nan Shiki took out a handkerchief from his chest and handed it to Akane Niino.

"Thank you, Teacher Chun Xia Qiu."

Wiping away her tears, she held her head high, opened her red eyes wide, and spoke word by word in a cadence: "At that time, I decided that I also wanted to draw comics!"

"I want to draw a work like Master Akira Toriyama's "Dragon Ball"!"

"Give the children a dream... no, give it to me as a child, a memorial!"

"I have not forgotten the comics, even after all these years. When I see the comics again, the love in my heart will emerge again."

"So, I want to draw comics, I love comics so much!"

Her voice got louder and louder until it sounded like a roar.

I have never seen this side of Ms. Shinno before.

Nan Jiji looked around and saw no neighbors scolding him.

It's not a good idea to make such a loud noise that it disturbs the neighbors.

Fortunately, it is now 9 o'clock in the evening and everyone is not asleep yet.

"You're right." Shiratoriji smiled slightly, "Speaking of which, I'm pretty much the same."

"But at my age, the manga I read is "Black Jack" by master Osamu Tezuka."

He, who is usually not serious, looked at the sky with some nostalgia and sighed: "Absurd and uninhibited setting, weird and bizarre plot, I really don't know how the old gentleman came up with it."

"What I still remember vividly is the episode where the female star Michelle went on a diet to lose weight for filming, which turned into anorexia."

"I can't eat anything, even liquid food."

"Black Jack tried various methods, but could not cure it. He could only watch Michelle getting thinner and thinner. She was so skinny that she couldn't even wear the ring."

"What's worse is that pustules began to appear on her face. For Michelle, the star, her career as an actor will also collapse. The dream she shared with her childhood friend who died young will no longer be realized."

Shiratoriji paused. Then he said.

"This plot contains a girl's dreams and memories, which is both beautiful and regrettable."

"The master's approach is to reveal the story. All the foreshadowing has a reason."

"After other people's clues, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration. The cause of my illness finally surfaced. It's not diet," he said with an extremely serious expression: "It's because of chemical bacteria."

"Chemical bacterial weapons called cysticercids studied during wartime!"

"I was shocked after seeing it. Our country has actually carried out such an unscrupulous act!"

He looked into the distance: "I have begun to respect comics. Comics are not only a tool for entertainment, but can also criticize social chaos."

"I was completely mesmerized. I couldn't help but be fascinated."

The corners of his mouth curled up: "I'm over thirty and have accomplished nothing. But I still want to draw comics."

Nan Shiji's pupils were shocked. Unknown to him, there was a cartoonist talking about evil and criticizing the war.

Anti-war rather than anti-defeat.

""Black Jack"?" Nan Siji pondered: "I will come and take a look."

Shiratori Jiichi said in surprise: "Teacher Chun Xia Qiu, haven't you seen "Black Jack"? Such a famous work."

Akane Shinno also stared at him with strange eyes.

"Is it weird?" Nan Shiji asked doubtfully: "It's not just "Black Jack". I have never read the original comics of "Dragon Ball" and "One Piece"."

He laughed and said, "I don't like reading comics. Before I drew comics, I had never bought "Weekly Shonen Jumk". However, I found "Crow" very interesting, and I unexpectedly liked it."

"How is that possible!"

Akane Shinno looked like a monster: "If you don't like reading comics, how can you serialize comics!"

Shiratori Jiichi was also in disbelief: "I have never heard of such a thing."

Minami Shiki thought of Hiramaru Ichiya, the genius manga artist in "Dream Eaters". He just happened to see "JUMK" and thought he could draw it, so he quit his job and started drawing comics, and he actually serialized it.

Minami Shiki was a cheater, Hiramaru Ichiya was the real genius.

But although there is a system, you still have to read comics.

If "Dream Eaters" hadn't been animated, he wouldn't have been able to get in touch with such a wonderful work. And now he's working in this industry, let's take a look at the experience of his predecessors.

"I know another manga artist, and he taught me a lot."

Minami Shiki was talking about his classmate, Karasuma Oji, the author of "Genroku Self-Defense Force".

When he first came here and found him drawing comics, he pestered him to teach him.

"That's it?"

"I'm a genius." Minami Shiki said shamelessly.

Akane Niino asked: "Why do you draw comics then!"

"Because of money, I heard that comic artists are very rich."

His face darkened: "But I didn't expect that I would have to wait for a single volume."

"That's just it..."

"That's just it!"

Akane Niino's eyes were dull: "I was able to realize my dream just because of money..."

Shiratori Jiichi squatted aside and muttered: "You said you wanted to use comics to criticize society... I've worked hard for 10 years... It's only published in "Akamaru jumk"... I'm so embarrassed..."

Minami Shiki: "..."

What should I say at this time?

Minami Shiki really doesn't like reading comics. The complex content appears in a small frame, which makes people dazzled and don't know where to start.

However, Eiji Nizuma's "crow" is different.

It is concise and clear, and the comics are like animated comic strips. It makes people immerse and comfortable. I finished it without realizing it. There is a unique feeling.
