A middle school cartoonist

Although Makoto Takahashi is a heartless person, it doesn't mean that other people are the same! At least, both Yumeha Ajou and Eiji Nizuma are very concerned about the outcome of the two comics! So although they didn't show the same fanatical obsession as Makoto Takahashi, Yumeha Ajou and Eiji Nizuma observed each other's comics as soon as they got the latest issue of "Shonen Jumk"!

Can "ZOMBIE GUN" beat "REVERSI"?

Although cartoonists should be confident in their comics, being overconfident is arrogant! Eiji Nizuma is very confident in his comic "ZOMBIE GUN", but he has never said that his comic named "ZOMBIE GUN" can suppress Yumeha Ajou's "REVERSI" in all aspects like the previous comics!

As the editor-in-charge of Eiji Niizuma, Yujiro has always believed in Eiji Niizuma, the manga artist who has been known as a ‘genius’ since his debut! But that was the last two and a half months of serialization, and Akira Kiyomi’s “REVERSI” has been firmly defending the first place, which made Yujiro a little worried and depressed!

There is nothing to say about the worry. Although he believes in the manga artist he is responsible for, facing the recent strength shown by Akira Kiyomi, normal people will feel that the defeat is inevitable! Although the sales of the single volume of the manga “REVERSI” are not as good as the manga “ZOMBIE GUN”, this brings a little comfort to Yujiro, but Yujiro also knows that all this is only temporary... After all, judging from the serialization time of the two manga, Akira Kiyomi’s disadvantage is relatively large!

What really makes Yujiro depressed is that Eiji Niizuma is not very attentive to his manga “ZOMBIE GUN” at present, but instead puts all his energy into the manga “Madoka” in cooperation with Makoto Takahashi! Yujiro even felt that if Eiji Niizuma had not been distracted by participating in the creation of the manga "Madoka", if Eiji Niizuma had devoted all his energy to his manga "ZOMBIE GUN", whether it was Ajou Kiyome or Hououin Kyouma... Eiji Niizuma would have no reason to lose!

Although Eiji Niizuma showed a similar attitude when completing the manga, as the editor-in-chief who has worked with Eiji Niizuma for many years, Yujiro could feel that the fighting spirit Eiji Niizuma showed when completing the manga "Madoka" was completely superior to the fighting spirit when completing the manga "ZOMBIE GUN"... According to a certain chuunibyou cartoonist, this should be it?

On this point, Yujiro did not think about persuading Eiji Niizuma. Of course, he did not persuade Eiji Niizuma to give up completing "Madoka". He just hoped that Eiji Niizuma would not focus on completing "Madoka". When completing his own comics, he would be a little more serious...

"Eh? But now I think that compared to "ZOMBIE GUN", "Madoka" is super interesting!" However, every time Yujiro tried to persuade him, Eiji Niizuma would answer like this!

"Hey, hey, hey, this kind of thing... Yujiro, you should go to Cheng to argue!" In response to Yujiro's complaints and complaints, Yoshida showed his dark side very well, "Even if I am Cheng's editor-in-chief, it does not mean that I can interfere with the behavior of cartoonists! But if you really want to go to Cheng to argue... In the future, I will offer the [Badge of Courage] in front of your grave!"

"Now that "Madoka" is almost finished, let's forget about these things..." In the end, Yujiro chose to give up compromise! As for the reason... of course it's not because Yujiro is timid or afraid of death, but because he is full of confidence in this episode of "Madoka!"

"Shinzuma-kun... can you win? Can you surpass Ajou Kiyome's "REVERSI"?" After watching Shinzuma Eiji put down the comic, Yujiro asked nervously.

"... Drawing comics is really the most fun!" Shinzuma Eiji's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he didn't answer his editor's question seriously, but picked up the comic book and entered the observer mode again! However, Shinzuma Eiji, who was reading the comic, suddenly predicted and spoke, which made Yujiro enter the entanglement mode, "It's just a little regretful..."

On the side of Ajou Kiyome, after getting the latest issue of "Shonen Jumk" from editor Hattori, the two good friends looked at each other and decisively jumped directly to the part of the serialization of "Madoka"! Hattori editor, who saw the two people's behavior, nodded secretly in agreement, and at the same time swallowed the hint that was about to come to his mouth!

Unlike the miserable Yujiro and Yoshida, Hattori, the editor-in-chief of Ajo Mumeha, said that it was great that the manga artist he was responsible for was Ajo Mumeha! Although this pair of good friends had a few points less innate advantages than a certain middle school manga artist and a certain willful manga artist, Hattori has always firmly believed that Ajo Mumeha is not inferior to those two manga artists in terms of potential or effort!

Especially since Ajo Mumeha started serializing "REVERSI"!

"This setting... is awesome, awesome!" As the plot writer of the comic "REVERSI", the yellow-haired man with glasses looked at the latest episode of "Madoka" with a surprised look on his face, "Hey, the best, what do you think of the development of "Madoka"?"

"Although I really want to say that compared to "Madoka", the ending of our "REVERSI" is better, but..." Lan Dai put down the comic and showed a tangled look on his face, "But after reading the content of this episode, I think that "Madoka" is much worse than our "REVERSI"!"

In many novels and comics, the protagonist usually represents the existence of justice and will be the final winner, and most of the story endings are happy endings... Although readers are already familiar with such plots, this does not mean that such plots are unpopular! After all, the idea of ​​"justice defeating evil" has penetrated into the depths of human souls from all aspects since the birth of human society, and has become a "natural" thing in human cognition!

But this does not mean that all novels and comics will adopt the familiar and conventional ending of "Justice will prevail"!

For example, the comic "REVERSI" and the comic "Madoka"!

The comic "REVERSI" is not a typical mainstream comic on "Shonen Jumk", but an evil comic that Yashiro Mumengye is good at! Therefore, the ending of the comic "REVERSI" is not just justice defeating evil in the usual sense!

In the long-term cognition of the readers, justice will definitely defeat evil in the end...

However, the comic "REVERSI" did not allow the protagonist representing the justice side to maintain the achievement of "No Injury" to the end as many comics or novels praise! The two protagonists who obtained the black and white devil abilities in the comics died together in the final battle. The protagonist representing the justice side, even if he had signed a contract with the devil and gained the ability to control other people's minds, finally chose to die as a human!

If you want to defeat evil, the existence of the justice side must pay a corresponding price... because justice is not invincible! Rather than saying it is an alternative equivalent exchange, it is better to say that it is the result of the whole world adjusting itself to maintain balance!

Although they are different types of comics, the truth they want to tell is the same! The comic "REVERSI" tells the story of the two protagonists who have obtained the black and white devil abilities and die together, while the comic "Madoka" is explained through Madoka's wishes and the contract with Kyubey!

In this episode of "Madoka", the beginning is the familiar [Depressing Time] on the reader side!

When the Witch Night comes, Homura Akemi, who fights alone, has relied on her own abilities to set up a killer environment before, but as Kyubey said, the Witch Night is not something that a magical girl can contend with! Therefore, even if Homura Akemi, who has reincarnated several times, has mastered a lot of combat experience in reincarnations, she still falls into a disadvantageous defeat!

If it were the previous time, when facing an unbeatable witch, even if Homura Akemi couldn't beat her, she could still use the characteristics of her magic to escape by going back in time... However, this time, Homura Akemi didn't use her ability to go back in time and return to the day when she met Madoka again!

If she used the ability to go back in time again, she could avoid her own defeat and the witch's destruction of the world, but this would also increase the number of causes and effects on Madoka, which conflicted with Homura Akemi's desire to save Madoka... But now that the witch is wreaking havoc on the world, if she doesn't use the ability to go back in time, then continuing to wait will also be unable to protect Madoka!

Homura Akemi, who didn't know what to do, fell into despair, and the soul stone in her hand gradually became filthy... And it was this plot development that a certain yellow-haired man praised so much before!

Of course, it's too early for you to be surprised now, Mr. Yellow-haired Glasses... After all, the real content of this episode of "Madoka" is not Homura Akemi's despair, but Madoka's wish, the wish that brings hope!

Well, dear readers, happy New Year!
