Comic cheating, dream-eating life

On Tuesday afternoon, Minami Shiki was drawing the fifth episode when Koji Yoshida called.

"Quick reporting is number one," he said.

"It's just that there is no gap with "crow". There is a difference of 7 votes."

"Is the difference so small?"

"Well, don't worry," Yoshida comforted, "Just draw it carefully. Comics are fair in the end. As long as they are interesting, you will get results."

"yes."

The next day, Nan Siji went to school.

He looked around and didn't see Harima Kener. Class was about to start.

He frowned and asked Tsukamoto Tenman: "Didn't Harima go to school today?"

"I don't know." Tsukamoto Tenma shook his head, and she asked, "Isn't Harima always skipping classes?"

Southern Four Seasons: "..."

Harima, you came to fight me over Tsukamoto Tenma. Are your relationship with Tsukamoto Tenma just an ordinary classmate?

To prevent Minami Shiki from harming Tsukamoto Tenma, Kenji Harima would go to school every day. After the misunderstanding was resolved, I was even more looking forward to going to school. After all, I could see my beloved girl.

Nan Siji said helplessly: "It's okay."

He didn't expect that Harima Ken'er's big and thick appearance could be so delicate inside, so he was so timid that he didn't dare to touch it?

On Friday, Koji Yoshida informed him: “This newspaper ranks third.

This makes Nan Siji incredible.

"Only third?"

"Yes," Yoshida said: ""Crow" is the second one, and the first one is "Gintama" by Mr. Hideaki Sorachi. The content of the latest chapter is very funny, and readers have sent replies to him."

"..."

I don't know why, but Nan Siji feels very disappointed. He obviously just wants to make money.

The third place result was enough for what he expected. You can publish a booklet, you can animate it, and you will get a lot of money from the copyright.

But……

But……

I don’t want to lose to other cartoonists.

"Third place is also a great achievement," Yoshida advised: "There are about 20 comics on JUMK, and ranking third is already what many cartoonists are looking forward to."

"Yes, I know, Mr. Yoshida." Nan Shiji looked at the sunset in the sky, which was brilliant red and magnificent.

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."

Yoshida Koji persuaded him a few more times before hanging up the phone uneasily.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, today's comic work is about to wrap up.

There was a sudden knock on the door in the studio.

Shiratoriji stood up and said in surprise: "Why is there someone knocking on the door?"

I usually draw comics, and Nam Chun-hyang will only interrupt me during lunch in the afternoon, and will not come over at other times.

"Is it possible that Chunxiang is in an emergency?" Akane Shinno asked.

"I don't know," Shiratoriji walked to the door, looked at the cat's eyes, and suddenly exclaimed: "It's Mr. Yoshida. How could this time..."

He quickly opened the door, and Yoshida Koji came in breathing heavily. He glanced at the comics hastily.

"What's going on?" Nan Siji stood up quickly: "What's going on so late?"

Yoshida Koji pointed to the door and smiled smartly: "Going out for a walk?"

"Huh?" Nan Siji was confused and said to his assistants: "Let's finish the drawing today. According to the progress, we can finish it tomorrow."

Shiratori Ciichi and Niino Akane packed up their things and left.

Minami Shiki looked at the empty room and said to Yoshida Koji: "There is a park near here, go there."

"OK."

There are stars in the sky in twos and threes. It's just early summer, the temperature at night is very pleasant, and there are parents playing with their children.

"It's already 10 o'clock, and there are still so many people." Nan Siji sighed.

"Because people are nocturnal animals now." Yoshida Koji said.

"Is that why the dark circles under your eyes are so heavy, Mr. Yoshida?"

Yoshida Koji did not answer, but put his suit on his shoulders, which was very different from his usual style.

"This is a good time to go to an izakaya. It's a pity that Mr. Chun Xia Qiu, you are only 17 years old." He held the ring in his left hand as if drinking, and his tone was pity.

"Actually, I can also have a drink or two."

In the southern seasons of social life, people often have to socialize. But he doesn't like it, drinking for work. If you have a friend like Yoshida Koji, drinking will be a comfortable thing.

"Haha, that's not okay, minors can't drink."

"What a shame."

"Well," Yoshida Koji suddenly fell silent.

Nan Siji walked side by side with him and came to the park.

There are not many people here, it is deep and quiet, and the moonlight shines on the ground, only a little bit bright.

"After finishing my work this afternoon, I had to take over another cartoonist. After the handover was completed, I rushed over immediately." Koji Yoshida said.

"Could it be to inform me that there will be another editor in charge of me?" Nan Siji joked.

"How is that possible? I must be responsible for "Tiga"." Yoshida Koji immediately expressed his position. When he saw Nan Shiki's smiling face, his speech slowed down.

"Actually, I've been worried about you, Teacher Chun Xia Qiu."

"Why?"

"It's my first time to draw comics, and I'm a high school student. It's easy to be too tired and not want to continue. Or there may be twists and turns due to things like love."

"It's also possible that they think delinquents are handsome, so they become delinquents."

"The minds of high school students are not yet sound. If you succeed simply, I always feel that you won't cherish it."

He rambled a lot, and Nan Siji was speechless.

"Yoshida-san, you are worrying too much. I don't have the sentimentality of a little boy. My goal is very clear, which is to publish a single book."

"You want to make money, right?" He glanced at Minami Shiki.

"Yes... yes."

"That's why I think I am the only one who can take care of you." Yoshida Koji stretched lazily: "I still have to work hard."

Minami Shiki had a dark face: "Mr. Yoshida, what do you want to say?"

"Ordinary cartoonists are long-term pursuits, and they work hard to draw comics before they can succeed. When they are serialized, they are in their 20s, which is a very young age."

"They are tenacious, and they know how to cherish."

Here, he suddenly stopped.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Chunxiaqiu." He apologized.

"I think the third place result will give you the illusion of difficulty, so you can avoid comics. So I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."

"Heart-to-heart talk..." Nan Shiki said speechlessly: "Isn't this belittling me..."

"Hahaha, because I found out that I was wrong." Yoshida Koji said with a smile: "I just entered the studio and took a look at the comics. Today's draft is more exciting than the previous ones."

"Instead of being frustrated, you are more courageous. You don't need me to comfort you. You can adjust yourself."

"So?"

"So you say so much to vent." He pointed to his eyes, which were bloodshot and had serious dark circles.

"I haven't slept well for a long time."

Nan Shiki said with a smile: "Go to hell, Mr. Yoshida."
