A middle school cartoonist

Although a certain goddess's five heroes will greatly increase their combat power to the point of breaking through the sky after entering the [Explosion of the Small Universe] mode, and they can even complete the seemingly impossible task of [Killing Gods with a Mortal Body]... However, This does not mean that Takahashi Makoto and Shizuo He who said the same thing can do the same thing as the Five Xiaoqiang!

Although compared to other cartoonists, Makoto Takahashi completes comics very quickly; although compared to the assistants under other cartoonists, Shizuka's taciturn character can exert the greatest combat effectiveness... but this does not mean It doesn't mean that the two people working at the moment can complete a comic manuscript that can support the publication of a monthly issue in a short time!

Although Takahashi Makoto has the detailed plot of "CLANNAD" and can even find the relevant comic manuscripts in his brain, but if he wants to present the content in his mind on the manuscript paper, it requires two people who are working hard to pass the time. Accumulate to complete...

Takahashi Makoto can no longer remember what food he swallowed down his throat the last time he ate...

Jinghe couldn't remember how long he had been in the assistant's seat when he woke up last time...

Takahashi Makoto can no longer remember how long ago it was the last time he fell asleep... Was it more than ten hours ago, or a few hours ago?

Jinghe no longer remembers how much of the comic manuscripts on the table have been completed...at least he has been repeating the endless cycle of [filling the comic manuscripts - replenishing physical strength through eating and sleeping]! Has more than ten days passed, or only a few days?

The two of them were immersed wholeheartedly in completing the manga manuscript, without any verbal exchanges or extraneous movements... If closing your eyes can be considered a rest, then this behavior of "opening your eyes and starting to complete the manga manuscript" is already It has become a condition for launch!

So... the passage of time has lost its meaning for both Takahashi Makoto and Shizugawa! After finishing the comic draft... my mind is filled with thoughts like this. Whether it's physical fatigue or mental fatigue, nothing matters anymore!

When Takahashi Makoto was completing the manga manuscript, Yoshida once came to collect the manga manuscript of "Dream Eater". After witnessing the crazy state of Takahashi Makoto and Shizugawa, Yoshida, who has always been known as a "venomous tongue", I can't even say a word!

Although the process of collecting the manga manuscript for "Dream Eaters" was very easy, Yoshida felt indescribably depressed and heavy! Takahashi Makoto just stopped the brush in his hand when Yoshida came in, pointed at the manga manuscripts neatly placed on the table, and then continued to complete the manga manuscripts... But from the time Yoshida entered until he left, Takahashi Cheng never said a word from beginning to end!

This made Yoshida, who was used to Takahashi Makoto's ridicule, have a strange feeling... Sure enough, human beings are creatures of habit. No matter good or bad, once you get used to it, you can't get rid of it! Although Yoshida had the idea of ​​speaking several times when he was sitting on the sofa and looking through the manga manuscripts, but every time the words came to his lips, Yoshida swallowed them back! Don't know what to say, don't know how to speak...

It’s not that he thought opening his mouth would disturb the two people who were working hard to complete the manga, nor was he shocked by the crazy state of the two... The reason why he was speechless was because of the relationship between Takahashi Makoto and Shizukawa. The momentum formed! The feeling of being immersed in hard work, the tense atmosphere of silence that filled the room, made Yoshida, the editor-in-chief, feel that "it is blasphemous to speak to interfere with the completion of the manga manuscript"!

After Yoshida quietly read the manga chapter "Dream Eater", he stopped and stared at Makoto Takahashi for a long time, and finally chose to leave without saying a word...

"In such a short period of time, it was actually completed... Hattori-kun, Ajou Mumenha-sensei is really amazing!"

"While completing the two chapters of the monthly series, I can also squeeze in time to complete the new weekly series..."

"And both comics are very interesting...especially the monthly serialized "PCP"! Originally, I thought that after entering the middle school chapter, this comic would become boring due to the growth of the characters, but I didn't expect..."

"Needless to say, Eiji Niizuma and Makoto Takahashi, now even Ajou Mumenha has started to do this... eh, eh, eh, there are more and more monsters in this group of young cartoonists!"

With a heavy heart, Yoshida had just returned to the editorial base, that is, the editorial department, when he heard colleagues praising Ajou Mumenha! Because of his mood, Yoshida did not join in the conversation as usual and showed his [venomous tongue] character. He just leaned aside with his arms folded and listened expressionlessly to his colleagues' exclamations and praises for Ajou Mumenha!

"But the reason why Ajou Mumenha is able to reach this level, if you really want to say it, maybe it has something to do with the new wife Eiji and Takahashi Makoto... Haha!" The one who ends with this special mouth habit is naturally Ajou Mumenha. It’s time to edit Sea Urchin Hattori! As the editor-in-chief who was complimented and praised by his colleagues as a cartoonist, Hattori did not show any arrogance, but only humbly agreed, "And Ajou Mumenha also said that the reason why he wanted to do this , I just want to catch up with the other two people at the top..."

"Forget it about Eiji Niizuma. As for Makoto Takahashi... Huh!" An editor who always believed that the cartoons of his cartoonists were cut in half because of Makoto Takahashi said in a sinister tone, "Although I admit that the comics The Phoenix Academy is really powerful, but I always feel that everyone is too partial to him! I want to serialize multiple parts in the weekly, and the editor agrees; I want to serialize it in the weekly and monthly magazines at the same time, and the editor also agrees... This is a good idea for me! Isn't it a very unfair thing for other cartoonists to give all serialization opportunities to that one..."

However, before the cathartic words could be finished, the editor, who had closed his eyes and was lost in the endless speech, suddenly felt that his whole body was suddenly lifted up by an external force! Even because it was the collar that was grabbed, it became a little difficult to breathe...

"Nakagawa, you guy!" Yoshida has been intimidating everyone with the title of [Vicious Tongue] among the editors... However, this time, Yoshida did not use his areas of expertise, but directly carried out physical attacks. !

"Yoshi, Yoshida! You, what are you going to do?" The guy called Nakagawa looked at the angry Yoshida in front of him. He didn't know whether it was because he had trouble breathing or because he was extremely pale because he was caught saying bad things!

There was no fight, and colleagues would not fight over such things... Although Yoshida wanted to give the guy in front of him who was sorting his clothes a few hard blows, the other colleagues around him were not fighting. Soy Sauce's onlookers... divided into two teams and quickly separated the two!

"I, did I say something wrong?" Nakagawa adjusted his clothes and stared at Yoshida with an ugly face. "For a cartoonist, it is already a great thing to pass the serialization meeting and be serialized! You know The number of comics serialized in each weekly magazine is limited. How many cartoonists work hard to get the chance to be serialized? How many cartoonists repeatedly revise the comic manuscripts to get the chance to be serialized... Why is the cartoonist Phoenix? Is it true that one person can occupy several serials? Why can one magazine publish several works by the same cartoonist at the same time?”

"Former editor-in-chief Sasaki once said that as long as comics are interesting, they can pass the serialization meeting, and as long as comics are interesting, they can be serialized..." Although Hattori really wants to be a peacemaker at the moment, resolving the conflict between Yoshida and Nakagawa... But how do you feel about this? After saying the words, it seemed like he was adding fuel to the fire?

"Interesting? Huh! Are comics like "Madoka" considered interesting? Hattori-kun, after the issue of the weekly magazine that published the ending of "Madoka" was released, the editorial department was called by readers to complain... Could it be that you Have you forgotten?" Nakagawa roared at Hattori dissatisfied! "That kind of comic that is completely inconsistent with the theme of the weekly can be serialized openly just because it is a comic by Takahashi Makoto, and just because the author's name is changed... Humph! In the final analysis, it is actually because you are too biased towards Takahashi Sincere!"

By the way, the reason why Nakagawa didn't mention the new wife Eiji is naturally because Takahashi Makoto is the main criminal of "Madoka"... No, he should be the plot provider!

"The content of the ending chapter of "Madoka" can achieve such results... In a sense, doesn't it also prove the status of this manga in the hearts of readers? And..." Although there are differences between editors Competition is a good thing, but criticizing other people's comics is not something a qualified editor should say! Regarding Nakagawa's remarks, the fat editor Aida frowned and intervened forcefully in the conversation, "Nakagawa, your words are a bit too much!"

"Nakagawa, what do you know?" Although Yoshida finally stopped trying to use force due to the persuasion of his colleagues, Yoshida gradually calmed down and began to fight back in his own way, "Before you say this, think about what you are saying. The cartoonist in charge, for what reason, had his cartoons cut in half at a regular meeting!"

"..." Nakagawa, who was still arrogant before, fell into a state of speechlessness because of Yoshida's words!

"Do you not know, or can't you tell me?" Yoshida was extremely emotional today. He took out the "Dream Eater" manga manuscript he had obtained from Makoto Takahashi from his bag and slammed it on the table, "This It’s the comic manuscript of “Dream Eater” that I just got from Cheng... let me take a good look at it!”

"...It's just that I finished the weekly manga manuscript ahead of schedule..." Nakagawa casually turned over the manga manuscript in front of him, with a trace of doubt on his face, "No, there is no need to be so excited, right?"

"Nakagawa, you have to know that Cheng is currently serializing in the monthly magazine at the same time, and has also reached an agreement with the monthly magazine's editor-in-chief Sasaki. The entire issue of the monthly magazine that will be released in three months will be from the comic "CLANNAD" "Content!" Yoshida didn't originally intend to say it, but recalling what he had witnessed at Takahashi Makoto's house and Nakagawa's disdainful attitude now... Reason, this kind of shackles can no longer be restrained. Live in Yoshida! "The cartoonist you were responsible for before, not to mention serializing several works at the same time, could not even do the most basic weekly serialization... Is a cartoonist of that level qualified to be compared with Cheng? Huh, don't laugh to death. "

Let’s not talk about serializing several works in a weekly magazine at the same time, nor about the editors’ excessive preference for indulging a certain middle school manga artist… Even if they get the same opportunity, even if other manga artists can serialize multiple manga in a weekly magazine at the same time like Makoto Takahashi, please think carefully, how many manga artists can serialize several works to completion without stopping?

In short, if you have never seen Makoto Takahashi work hard for something, what qualifications do you have to evaluate Makoto Takahashi?

This is why Yoshida is really angry!
