A middle school cartoonist

"Is this the manga that you said started the era of monsters?" Yoshida looked at the manga manuscript in his hand with a strange look on his face, "Although I was curious before, what kind of era of monsters will you create... But for these The storyboard of "Inuyasha" made me a little bit..."

"That's because you opened it the wrong way, my beloved cat!" Makoto Takahashi rarely stopped painting and explained to Yoshida seriously! "The background of the story of "InuYasha" is set in the Warring States Period. It mainly tells the story of InuYasha, a half-demon hybrid of humans and monsters, and his journey through time and space to the beginning of the Warring States Period five hundred years ago through the bone-eating well of his own shrine. The three girls, Kagome and Twilight, embarked on an adventure to find the fragments of the Four Souls Jade scattered everywhere... This is the main line, and it is also the storyboard you are holding in your hands now, but this does not mean that the entire film This is where comics started!”

"You actually said this is not the beginning?" Yoshida looked at Makoto Takahashi in surprise. After carefully checking the manga manuscript, he frowned, "In my opinion, this opening is enough! And this kind of adventure-themed Comics have now become the mainstream of "Shounen Jumk", so there is probably no problem with serialization... but it is precisely because of this that it will be quite difficult to achieve good results! "

"Hmph! What's the point?" Makoto Takahashi looked at the fashion points without any care, with a disdainful smile, "My Dependent Cat, it seems you still don't understand? Then let me ask you , except for people in this world like me, basically no one in the world can see monsters, or they think monsters don’t exist. Do you know why?”

"have no idea!"

Yoshida shook his head frankly and looked at Makoto Takahashi speechlessly! Do monsters really exist in this world? Yoshida's eyes were full of doubts. At this age, the only one who still believes in the existence of monsters, apart from the mentally ill, is the chuunibyou patient in front of him, right?

"Alas! How pitiful are the ignorant people who have forgotten the distorted and tampered history of the world!" Makoto Takahashi suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, with a look of pity on his face, "Human beings... are a bunch of ignorant people after all. A big creature? If this continues, it will eventually destroy the world and destroy itself! But let’s just let everything return to chaos!”

"Let's not talk about your pitiful expression..." Yoshida pulled Takahashi's mouth with black lines on his head, "Do you really want to destroy the world? Also, aren't you a human being? Let me tell you It’s happened so many times, don’t complain about human nature! Don’t abandon your identity as a human being! What we are talking about now is the era of monsters, and it is "Inuyasha"!

"Ugh!" Makoto Takahashi rubbed the corners of his sore mouth and turned his head away in displeasure, "Monsters have always existed, but today's society is dominated by inferior creatures like humans. No matter how powerful the monsters are, they will not be able to face them. Facing humans who far outnumber them, the monsters can only compromise and hide in the other world!"

"That's a good idea! It sounds like an interesting setting..." Yoshida pondered for a moment and then praised him. At the same time, he looked at Makoto Takahashi with some surprise. This kind of unconstrained imagination is worthy of being called a monster manga by the editorial department. The Phoenix Courtyard at home is really fierce! "Keep talking..."

"In the beginning, monsters dominated everything, and humans were just ants... No, not even ants! In the eyes of monsters, humans are inexhaustible food, and they can be used when they are happy or angry. Is there such a thing as killing at will?" Makoto Takahashi watched Yoshida's face become solemn, with a proud smile on his face, "Pure monsters, because they are too powerful, fall into killing each other. The law of the jungle is the only law in the monster world. It is precisely because of this that the monsters are on the verge of extinction..."

"A-Cheng, wait!" Yoshida interrupted Takahashi Cheng, frowned and looked at the comic manuscript in his hand, looking at Takahashi Cheng with confusion on his face, "What you just said is a very good idea. It's a creative idea, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with your "InuYasha"!"

"Mortal wisdom... How many times have I used this taunting skill on you? My beloved cat, can't you improve your IQ a little bit?" Takahashi Makoto responded to Yoshida's interruption of his words. Very unhappy, after some ridicule, he continued the topic, "In the past, humans were afraid of monsters and avoided monsters; but now, it is the other way around, monsters avoid humans everywhere... Monsters from their dominant position , turned into an existence hidden in the darkness! However, humans have changed from weak to rulers. This process of change is the so-called era of monsters!

"Let me sort out my thoughts first..." Yoshida listened to Takahashi Makoto's words. Although he couldn't fully understand them, he still understood the general meaning! It's just that the amount of information was slightly large for a while, which made Yoshida a little confused!

"Hmph, forget it! You'll be trapped in endless confusion! The true teachings of the white-faced demon Wiseman, the dimensional purgatory is launched!" Takahashi Makoto showed a sly smile on his face, and continued to invade Yoshida with information, "Inuyasha is not only to meet the challenge of Ayame, but also has a more special meaning! Seshomaru is the representative of pure monsters, that is, the representative of the orthodox monsters mentioned earlier; and because of his half-monster identity, Inuyasha is not accepted by both humans and monsters, but at the same time, because of his mixed blood, he has become a bridge for communication between monsters and humans! And Kagome's existence, because she comes from the later generations with more advanced education, can not hate the existence of monsters, complete the integration plan of humans and monsters... uh, humans and monsters, and realize the coexistence of humans and monsters. This is the beginning of the entire monster era!"

"It's completely chaotic..." Yoshida held his head and was successfully defeated by Takahashi Makoto's infinite light ghost slash!

"In the comic "Inuyasha", monsters are still in a strong position, and humans are still weak. This is the beginning of the monster era. In the second comic, humans have gradually become stronger. The civil war between monsters and the existence of Onmyoji have gradually made the monster era, which was once strong, enter a period of decline. Facing the powerful humans, the monsters who want to protect themselves can only divide the territory and hide in human society. As for the end of the monster era, in addition to hostility between humans and monsters, the increase of friendship and love also makes the earlier plan to complete humans and monsters finally complete!" After Takahashi Makoto told the plan in his mind, he looked at Yoshida who was stunned and showed a proud smile on his face, "This is the true form of the monster era!"

"Very... very good and powerful concept!"

This time, while praising, Yoshida also showed a look of surprise in his eyes! The more Yoshida listened to Takahashi Makoto's subsequent explanation, the more shocked he was. The monster era planned by Takahashi Makoto was just a simple narration, and the world view displayed would require at least three comics to complete! Yoshida didn't forget that Makoto Takahashi had said before that the Monster Era was only the first of four eras! The Monster Era alone was enough to shock Yoshida. What would the next three eras be like?

"Hmph! My cat, looking at your stupid expression, do you finally understand?" Makoto Takahashi still mocked Yoshida with a disdainful tone, "It's so sweet! What I just said is just the beginning of my blueprint!"

"The beginning of the blueprint?" Yoshida, who was still immersed in surprise, knelt down when he heard Makoto Takahashi say this!

"From the construction of the era, to form a unique world view..." Makoto Takahashi suddenly realized something and didn't continue to talk. Instead, he picked up a few comic manuscripts from the table and handed them to Yoshida, "Forget it, now is not the time for you to get in touch with the roots... Well, the real "Inuyasha" must never forget this monster!"

Yoshida, who was full of doubts, wanted to know Makoto Takahashi's plan, but he was also very curious about the real beginning of "Inuyasha"! Yoshida listened to what Takahashi Makoto said, took the comic draft and looked at it carefully! To Yoshida's surprise, what Takahashi Makoto gave him was not a comic storyboard, but the image of the character!

The first chapter of the drawing he got was a character that looked like a middle-aged uncle... The reason why it was called a suspected character was that this character, in addition to having a pair of relatively pointed ears, also had a very elegant temperament, with three swords on his waist, and he looked like an extraordinary person at first glance! The name of this character was noted next to it, Inu Taisho!

"Inu Taisho... This should be Inuyasha's father!" Yoshida recalled what Takahashi Makoto had said before, and a look of realization appeared on his face! "I see! Inuyasha is a half-demon of human and monster, that is to say, Inuyasha was born when Inu no Taisho and humans combined. Is this the beginning of the communication between humans and monsters as you mentioned before? Eh? This character is... the first-generation general Nura Nura! Cheng, this character seems..."

"The style is different, right?" Takahashi Makoto looked at Yoshida's puzzled face and smiled, "Of course! Because Nura Nura is a character in another comic! As the Demon King, wouldn't I notice such a small thing?"

"But this Nura Nura Nura's smile..." Yoshida looked at Nura Nura with a sword on his shoulder and felt a little weird. He was obviously a very handsome monster character, but Yoshida's intuition told him that this character would definitely become a headache like Takahashi Makoto!

"Anyway, this is basically the situation!" Just when Yoshida was about to say something, Takahashi Makoto suddenly snatched back a few drawings, "Although I can't tell you the specific ideas in detail, my beloved cat, you should have understood it now, right?"

"Well, "Inuyasha" is just the beginning!" Although Yoshida said this, he still frowned and looked at Takahashi Makoto, "But Cheng, why didn't you tell me about this plan when you were in the editorial department before?"

"Humph! Words are not enough. If you don't come up with something, do you think everything I say will be accepted by others?" Takahashi Makoto looked at Yoshida sympathetically, "My beloved cat, in this world full of monsters, it's really not easy for you who are so innocent and kind to survive until now! You have worked hard all these years!"

"That's right, especially facing a monster like you, I've had a hard time these years!" Yoshida looked at Takahashi Makoto who was teasing Ruri and Sadaharu, and after complaining helplessly, he took the drawings of "Fullmetal Alchemist" and "Higurashi" and got up and left!

Takahashi Makoto successfully brainwashed Yoshida, increasing Yoshida's confidence in the serialization of "Inuyasha"!

Yoshida's impression of Takahashi Makoto changed from a chuunibyou patient to a chuunibyou monster!
