A middle school cartoonist

Chapter 115 Should be in my lifetime

After the release of "Shonen Jumk" this week, it was a torment for Yoshida who was waiting for the result! Although Yoshida was not very optimistic about the story of "Inuyasha", since it has passed the serialization meeting and entered the serialization, there is no point in saying anything now!

"Is this... the beginning of the monster era?" Yoshida, who was waiting for the result, flipped through the comics in his hand uneasily, and read the first two chapters of "Inuyasha" again, frowning, "But no matter how many times I read it, I always feel that the appearance and disappearance of the character Nuraki is a bit inexplicable!"

As the editor-in-chief, Yoshida's vision for comics is naturally needless to say! Although he complained about "Inuyasha" many times at the beginning, Yoshida was still quite interested in this comic about monster stories. Dog monsters, Nuraki, Dragon Bone Spirit... At first, Yoshida thought that these monsters were made up by Makoto Takahashi, but after checking the relevant information, he found that there are many legends about monsters like Nuraki among the people!

Although Dongzhou belongs to Zhongzhou, the history has not changed much. The history of hundreds of years ago still exists! Along with the history, there are also many folk legends about gods, ghosts and monsters. Don't underestimate these seemingly useless things. These are one of the inheritances of a national culture. Although they are now strongly impacted by the Western mythology system, these local legends cannot be erased, because they represent the culture of an era!

Many readers don't know about the monster era opened by Fenghuangyuan Xiongzhen. The only thing they know is that Fenghuangyuan Xiongzhen, the middle school cartoonist, has started to serialize a new comic called "Inuyasha"!

Han Yue doesn't like most of the comics serialized in "Youth Jumk" now! As a picky comic fan, she doesn't like hot-blooded fighting comics very much! Despite this, Han Yue still insists on buying "Youth Jumk", because among the many hot-blooded fighting comics, there are occasionally some comics with love as the theme! The handsome guy of the second dimension, but this girl who is a little crazy, has always been looking forward to it in her heart!

Han Yue did not rush to buy "Shonen Jumk" on the first day of its release as usual, because her favorite comic, "Guardian Girl Aiye" by Ayame, suddenly ended, and was replaced by "Inuyasha" by Hououin Kyoma! After the comic she liked ended, Han Yue felt a little depressed, especially the slightly hasty ending of "Guardian Girl Aiye", which made Han Yue extremely resentful! In addition to being unhappy with the original comic author, Han Yue also resented the replacement comic for the sudden ending of her favorite comic. Therefore, the newly serialized "Inuyasha" was also hated by Han Yue!

Regarding "Inuyasha", Han Yue lost the desire to read it after hearing the name! For Han Yue, who is somewhat afraid of supernatural events, Yasha has always been a hideous evil ghost, and in Han Yue's understanding, comics involving this type of comics are all bloody and violent!

Of course, there is another reason why Han Yue does not want to read "Inuyasha", that is, the author of this comic is Hououin Kyoma!

Whether it was the previously serialized "Higurashi" or the "Crayon Shin-chan" that caused a crusade among comic fans because of its ending, Han Yue was afraid of the cartoonist Hououin Kyouma! Especially when "Higurashi" just started serializing, Han Yue was excited to see many cute girls appear, but after reading the various endings of "Higurashi" that all died, and then suffered the brutal double blow of the tragic ending of "Crayon Shin-chan", Han Yue, who was "healed" and covered with wounds, has completely banished the cartoonist named Hououin Kyouma!

"Well, let's take a look at the latest new serialized comics! That "Run! Dafa Fight", although it feels a bit childish, it's pretty funny..." Looking at the new issue of "Shonen Jumk" on the table, Han Yue was bored and flipped through it casually. "Fullmetal Alchemist" and "Higurashi" were not comics that Han Yue liked, so he skipped them directly! Han Yue, who was flipping through the pages quickly, suddenly stopped because a close-up of a handsome character made her curious, "Hmm? Who is this..."

Silver-white long hair, a crescent mark on the forehead, two strange patterns on each cheek, a white kimono embroidered with hexagonal plums, and eyes that are completely different from those of humans. The whole character looks noble and imposing. Although it was just the first time she saw it, Han Yue's heartbeat accelerated. The first impression of this character on her was that of a handsome and taciturn nobleman with an expressionless face!

"Inuyasha...Houhouin Kyouma...Uh..."

Because she was attracted by this character, Han Yue curiously flipped forward a few pages and was a little speechless. This character was a character from the new serial "Inuyasha" by Houhouin Kyouma, but seeing the author's name, Han Yue was extremely entangled! Although she was very curious about what story that nobleman-like character would have in the comics, when she thought that the author was Houhouin Kyouma, Han Yue began to entangle herself, worrying that this comic would be like "Crayon Shin-chan", digging another "healing" pit!

"Ah... never mind, even if it's a trap, I'm going to jump in! At most, I'll never read Fenghuangyuan Xiongzhen's comics again!" Han Yue found an excuse for herself, "Anyway, I just want to read the story of that handsome nobleman, that's enough!"

The story does not mention the protagonist Inuyasha at the beginning, but tells the story of a monster named Inu no Taisho before his life ended! After drinking and talking with his monster friend Huapiao, and fighting with the big monster Longgujing, he dragged his seriously injured body to talk to his son Seshomaru!

"Do you want power so much... Why are you so thirsty for power?"

"The path we should take is domineering! Power is the way to expand this path!"

"Domineering? Seshomaru, do you have someone you want to protect?"

"The one to protect? I, Seshomaru, don't need such a person at all!"

Sesshomaru disagreed with Inu no Taisho's ideas, and Inu no Taisho did not refute anything, but turned into a huge monster and flew into the sky! This inexplicable dialogue made Han Yue read on with confusion and curiosity. As for the idea of ​​only watching Seshomaru's story at the beginning, it had long been thrown out of the window!

Inu no Taisho broke into the human city and rescued his wife Princess Izayoi who had just died. The seriously injured Inu no Taisho named his son Inuyasha, and then died together with Setsuna Mengwan and was buried in the sea of ​​fire, which seemed to echo the previous words of protection!

Seeing the death of Inu no Taisho, Han Yue was speechless. Combined with the previous comics, Inu no Taisho, as a monster, was a very powerful existence! However, in order to protect his wife and children, he dragged his seriously injured body and broke into the encirclement set by humans, and finally even sacrificed his life! Is this the so-called "having the intention to protect in mind, so it will be so powerful that it is invincible"?

The content of the second episode, in addition to the beginning of the story that Inuyasha was sealed in the tree by the witch Kikyo, then directly turned to modern society. A woman who looks exactly like Kikyo traveled from the ancient well of her own shrine to the ancient times and found Inuyasha sealed in the tree! The content of the second episode ends here!

"The development of the second chapter..." As a comic fan, Han Yue has some understanding of the new serialized comics of "Shonen Jumk". Generally, when a comic is newly serialized, the content of two chapters will be published directly. However, looking at the content of the second chapter, Han Yue was a little speechless. "At the beginning, it looked like an ancient style. How could it suddenly jump to many years later? And the matter of traveling to ancient times... It is stuck at this point again! Ah, I really want to know what happened later?"

The curiosity was completely aroused. The girl who had vowed before that she would never read Fenghuangyuan Kyouma's comics again was now conquered by "Inuyasha"! So, women are fickle animals, Han Yue is like this, and so is Ueno Aoi!

"Teacher Takahashi Makoto, can't you draw more content about Seshomaru?" Ueno Aoi, who had previously said she was going to leave the Phoenix Courtyard studio out of anger, now had a flattering smile on her face, and used the girl's unique trick of acting cute and coquettish, "Okay, okay? Teacher Takahashi Makoto, Acheng, little brother Cheng?"

"It's useless even if you call me master!" Takahashi Makoto turned his head away with a narrow-minded look, "And you have already used the skill of acting cute! In view of your previous attempt to betray the Demon King, I reject all your requests now!"

"Hmph! Small-minded little man!" Ueno Aoi pouted unhappily, and looked at Yoshida who had just entered the door for help!

"This..." Yoshida looked at Takahashi Makoto who was drawing a comic and fell into a state of entanglement in response to Ueno Aoi's look of help! Helping a girl to plead can increase intimacy, but it will be hated by the great Demon King Takahashi Makoto... Is this an equal exchange? Yoshida smiled helplessly and walked behind Takahashi Makoto, "Um, Cheng, you..."

"Tsk! Wrong decision! The age of monsters or something... Do you want to maintain the dignity of Gaia Loli and deliberately lead me down this path? World, Sinai!"

Takahashi Makoto, who was drawing a comic, suddenly threw the brush in his hand on the table, lowered his head in disappointment, and fell into a state of entanglement! After hearing such a speech, Ueno Aoi, who was expecting it, had a gloomy face and lowered her head to continue working. She was desperate for the previous proposal! This situation has happened before. This is the third time since the serialization of "Inuyasha"!

There are fifty-two weeks in a year, which means that "Shonen Jumk", which is published in a weekly format, must be published at least fifty-two times a year! This number is not good news for Takahashi Makoto!

As the opening chapter of the age of monsters, "Inuyasha" has a total of 558 chapters according to the original work! In other words, if the series is serialized at the current pace of one chapter per week, it will take ten years to complete, but this is only the beginning of the Yokai Era! The three subsequent eras, as well as the comic used to kill gods and prove the truth... After roughly estimating the time required, Takahashi Makoto fell into a state of suffocation!

These comics... should be completed in my lifetime!
