A middle school cartoonist

The comic "Han Chan" has been stumbling along the way since it was serialized. It was not very smooth. It was once in danger of being cut in half. However, with the serialization of the "All Killings" chapter completed, a shocking reversal occurred. The reader survey paper has not been seen for a long time. The first one was captured by Makoto Takahashi again!

The duo of Ajou Mumenha, who have been busy finishing their own comics, did not give up in anger after learning the news. Instead, they became enthusiastic and full of fighting spirit, and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the creation of new comics. !

Perhaps in the eyes of the simple Ajou Mumenha, this is the challenge and encouragement from Makoto Takahashi! Challenge from your writing rivals, encouragement from your reading partners!

"Hey, those good friends are still as naive as ever! How about I go next door and beat them up so that they can have a correct understanding of this cruel world! Perhaps only by keeping the pain in mind can we You will know that with such naive ideas, it will be difficult to survive in this world where cheats are everywhere!”

This was the comment made by Makoto Takahashi with disdain after listening to Yoshida recounting the gratitude of editor Minato Ura of Ajou Mumenha! Seeing Takahashi Cheng's insincere words, Yoshida's eyes were full of smiles and he echoed it! Although Takahashi Makoto said this, he looked very happy!

Is this the legendary tsundere?

Are plug-ins and things like that actually hiding your true thoughts? Recalling that when the 'Future King's Feast' was launched, the first person Acheng invited was Yacheng Mumengye. Did Acheng already regard the two as rivals at that time? But can Acheng really predict the future? Yoshida, who was full of doubts, had a new understanding of Takahashi Makoto!

Compared with "Higurashi", "Metal" is quite satisfactory. Although it got the first place in the first episode, it has been hovering in the top five since then, entangled with Eiji Arizuma's "Crow" Together... Well, every time the ranking is in front of "Crow", no more, no less!

Whenever this result was mentioned, Yujiro, the editor of Eiji Shinzuma, kept shouting with Yoshida, saying that it was just a coincidence! On the surface, Yoshida also smiled and agreed with the 'coincidence', but Yoshida was suspicious in his heart that it might have been Takahashi Makoto's intention to promote such a result!

"My beloved cat, you really underestimate the King of Black Flame!" Regarding Yoshida's doubts, Takahashi Makoto had a serious expression on his face, "This is not the last trial before challenging the god. It's so simple as you believe! Now all this is just an illusion. The King of Black Flame is accumulating power and waiting for his skills to cool down... Of course, my ultimate move is also ready to go! It’s just a little fight to test each other out! The ‘Future King’s Feast’ has just begun!”

Regarding Makoto Takahashi's words, Yoshida smiled bitterly and shook his head. Don't try to understand the thoughts of a chuuni patient. This is the latest lesson Yoshida has learned!

"I was a little worried before I said that..." Yoshida quickly flipped through the manga manuscript in his hand, with an expression of relief on his face, "The recent chapters of "Steel" involve too much content. I'm worried that Cheng, you won't be able to control this comic! But the content of this chapter is really good!"

Let me emphasize again, Yoshida is still very capable as the editor-in-chief! He is very responsible for the cartoonist. Although his character will become a bit vicious when facing the little sea otter, it is not easy to be able to get along with Takahashi Makoto, a middle-class cartoonist, for several years!

Yoshida's worries are not unnecessary. As the plot of "Steel" unfolds, the situation becomes more and more serious! The main plot of "Metal" is the story of the Edward brothers, who are pursuing the Philosopher's Stone and restoring their bodies. However, with the emergence of the Avenger Skar, the appearance of the artificial man, the joining of the prince and princess of the New Kingdom, and the hidden secrets of the Ishval War The whole plot seems to be a coincidence, but it is slowly connected!

Perhaps for readers who simply pursue fun battles, the recent "Metal Steel" is a bit boring. After all, there are not many battles between alchemists! But many comic fans who like "Steel" also have different feelings! Just like before the storm comes, dark clouds gather and strong winds rage. In the previous chapters, the Edward brothers and the prince of the New Kingdom joined forces to fight the artificial humans. Although in the middle, Gratney launched the 'Gate of False Truth' and swallowed Edward up. , the battle was forced to be suspended, which made many readers complain, but they were more interested in wondering how Edward and others would escape from this 'Gate of False Truth', and how the plot would develop next!

In the previous chapter of "Steel", Edward, who was locked in the 'Gate of False Truth', learned from Envi the hidden truth of the Ishval War, and the real reason for the extinction of the Kingdom of Xerxes, The plot of the entire story has once again been expanded to the ancient country that disappeared before! Of course, many readers also complained about this. Unexpectedly, the ruins where I saw Lieutenant Ross before were actually one of the foreshadowings of this plot! And at the end of this chapter, Edward also figured out how to escape from the 'Gate of False Truth'!

Then there is no more! Even readers who have become accustomed to the plot of Phoenix Academy's murderous plot being brutal again know that it is useless to complain. They can only lament the curse while patiently waiting for the release of the new issue of "Shounen Jumk"!

The comic manuscript in Yoshida's hand is the latest issue of "Fullmetal Alchemist"! Yoshida likes this "Fullmetal Alchemist" sincerely. Although as the editor-in-chief, this situation should not happen to the works of the same cartoonist, but the plot of "Fullmetal Alchemist" is really attractive! Yoshida was thankful more than once that it was a good choice to choose the profession of editor! Ignoring the strange screams of Makoto Takahashi when he was drawing, Yoshida began to carefully look at the comic manuscript of the new episode.

The Philosopher's Stone is made using humans as raw materials! The method Edward came up with was to use alchemy to refine himself again, pass through the Gate of Truth, and escape from this space called the "Pseudo-Gate of Truth"! However, it has been mentioned many times in previous comics that if you want to pass through the Gate of Truth, you must pay a toll!

Although Envi, a man-made man with a bad personality, also wants to leave this space and temporarily become Edward's partner, this cannot make this man-made man who killed Hughes whitewashed! To be precise, because Enwei's body is attached with the souls of countless people in the Kingdom of Xerxes, Enwei's existence has become a representative of extreme evil!

Especially Takahashi Makoto, he also gave a close-up of Enwei after the transformation. On Enwei's huge body, there are countless floating figures, and the distorted face makes Yoshida look creepy! Although the soul has never been recognized to exist, looking at these painful and struggling faces, Yoshida suddenly felt that the soul might really exist! But when he thought of the soul being imprisoned and becoming the Philosopher's Stone, or even trapped in Enwei like in the comics, Yoshida deeply felt an indescribable depression!

"Sorry, please let me use it!"

Before Edward performed the human body transformation, he said this to those distorted faces with a sad expression! And at the moment when the door of truth opened, Edward seemed to hear the voice of thanks, which came from those distorted faces! The reason why those struggling souls thanked Edward is to thank Edward for finally freeing them? Or thank Edward for still treating them as humans at the last moment?

Yoshida did not ask Takahashi Makoto about this question! If such a question was really asked, no matter what the answer was, Yoshida would feel uncomfortable, because it was a blasphemy against respect for life!

The door of truth opened again, and a long-haired man appeared in the comics, sitting cross-legged in front of the door, with no cover on his body, but the skinny body made Yoshida look a little scared! Although there was no annotation in the comics, Yoshida recognized at a glance that this was the ultimate goal of the Edward brothers, Al's body!

Seeing Al's body, Edward, who was surprised, immediately wanted to grab it, but the door of truth with a strong metallic texture opened again, and countless dark tentacles stretched out from it, dragging the struggling Edward into the door!

"Al, come here! Al, come quickly..." Edward, who was slowly dragged into the door, struggled in pain and kept shouting!

"No, because you are not my soul, so I can't go with you!"

Al smiled and refused, and watched his brother Edward being dragged into the door. The door of truth closed again and closed tightly! Falling into the calm space of truth again, Al lowered his head in disappointment and didn't say another word!

Just when Yoshida thought that the content of this episode was over, the door of truth was opened again! Rather than saying it was opened, it was better to say that it was forcefully knocked open by Edward!

"Al, Alphonse..." Although entangled by countless dark tentacles, although the comics were still pictures, Yoshida could fully imagine how fierce Edward's struggle was! "I will definitely come to pick you up, you wait! You wait!"

In Edward's fierce struggle, the door of truth closed tightly again, cutting off the communication between the two brothers, and this episode of the comics ended here!

In the content of this episode, what shocked Yoshida the most was not Edward's way of escaping, but Edward's respect for life and the unbreakable bond between brothers! Especially the last few pages of comics, Yoshida was so moved, this is the bond between Edward and his brother!

At the beginning, Yoshida still felt a little regretful, regretting that Edward did not succeed in taking Al away, but after reading the last few comics, Yoshida's regrets completely disappeared! Although he didn't know what price Edward would pay at the end of the comics, Yoshida knew that Al would definitely be brought back, definitely!
