A middle school cartoonist

Like the readers, the cartoonists also carefully observe the comics serialized in the weekly magazine; unlike the readers, when the cartoonists observe the comics, they do not simply observe the plot of the comics like the readers do, but also carefully analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the comics that are regarded as rivals...

Although it sounds quite boring to observe the comics over and over again and analyze the plot, character setting and style of each comic, it is indeed a very necessary thing for cartoonists who want to catch up and surpass their goals!

Being able to gain experience from others' successes and find one's own shortcomings from others' shortcomings is an evolution of biological instinct and a manifestation of great enterprising spirit!

At least Yajo Mumengye keeps moving forward and making progress in this way, and...becomes a popular cartoonist in the weekly magazine "Shonen Jumk"!

"If we didn't know the details, we would have thought that My Hero Academia and One Punch Man were created by the same person!" The man with yellow hair and glasses put down the weekly magazine in his hand and complained to his good friend who was finishing the draft, "Tsk, in a sense, those two guys with abnormal personalities... they really cooperated well!"

"Eh? Is that so? But didn't Mr. Hattori say that according to the data from the reader survey, the comics of Makoto and Eiji were fighting fiercely..." Lan Dai stopped what he was doing, frowned and looked at his good friend, and asked in confusion, "This... can also be considered as cooperation? I think they are just pulling each other back, right? If it weren't for the fact that the last two comics ended in a two-way defeat, The ending ended in a loss for both sides, I'm afraid the first place will have to be replaced!"

"No, Supreme, the tacit cooperation I just mentioned does not refer to the results of the comics, but the plot of the comics!" The yellow-haired man with glasses pushed his glasses while flipping through the weekly magazine, "Whether it is "My Hero Academia" or "One Punch Man", when serializing the second episode, they chose very similar content, and even the ideas they want to convey are almost the same! Although the title of the second episode of the comic "My Hero Academia" is [Conditions for Becoming a Hero], this title can actually be used in the second episode of the comic "One Punch Man"! So... Hey, Supreme, if this is not considered tacit cooperation, then I don't know how to describe it!"

"... I said Akito , is this the right time?" Lan Dai closed one eye and challenged his best friend quietly, "Is the problem in the third chapter of the comic "Hikaru no Go" really irrelevant? Don't forget that Mr. Hattori has repeatedly emphasized before..."

"'Funny comics are not the style of the Ajo Mumengye I know' and 'evil comics are the kingly way of Ajo Mumengye', right?" Before Lan Dai could finish the rest of his words, the yellow-haired glasses guy immediately took over his best friend's words, "Don't worry, I never planned to draw "Hikaru no Go" into a funny comic!"

"But Akito, in the first two chapters of the comic "Hikaru no Go", aren't there many jokes about Sai because he can't adapt to modern social life?" Lan Dai stared at his best friend with a smirk on his face, dissatisfied "Perhaps that's why Mr. Hattori is worried that we will turn Hikaru no Go into a funny comic, so he emphasized it again and again..."

"Hey, Supreme, aren't you drawing the third episode now?" Mr. Yellow-haired Glasses didn't explain much to his friend's complaint, "Since you have already started to complete the comic draft for the third episode, you should understand, right? This Hikaru no Go is not a funny comic..."

"I understand, but I just think..." Lan Dai picked up the comic draft he had just completed and asked his friend, "Is this... a little exaggerated?"

"Exaggerated? No, not at all!" Mr. Yellow-haired Glasses only took a look at the comic draft and understood his friend's doubts! "Sai's behavior... Rather than being a normal reaction, it's the most exciting part of the third episode of Hikaru no Go!"

"Huh?"

"Since waking up, he has been pestering Hikaru to play Go... You should be able to feel Sai's obsession with Go, right?" Seeing his good friend nod in agreement, the man with yellow hair and glasses smiled confidently, "Then think about it, when someone like Sai who is so obsessed with Go, after hundreds of years of waiting, finally gets to play Go again... Using tears to express complex emotions such as excitement, sadness, melancholy, and emotion, Isn't it very reasonable and appropriate?"

"This..."

"Although Ah Cheng always says things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, some of his words make sense if you think about it carefully!" Under the puzzled gaze of his good friend, the man with yellow hair and glasses suddenly changed the topic to a certain middle school cartoonist, "Although comics and Go are different, think about it. There was a period of time when we had to suspend publication because you were hospitalized... When you were discharged from the hospital and were finally able to pick up the brush to draw comics again, did you feel the same as Sai?"

"Indeed..."

"As Cheng said, comics are actually the product that reflects the soul of the cartoonist..." The yellow-haired glasses man pushed up his glasses and suppressed the smile on his face, "Hey, do you know, Supreme? After you are discharged from the hospital, When I was able to work with you again to draw comics and create comics with you as Ajoki Mengye again, my feelings were the same as those of Sawei who was able to play chess again! "

"Uh... that is to say..." Classmate Lan Dai looked at his good friend who was getting more and more excited and turned his head unnaturally, "Qiu Ren, you just recalled the mood at that time, so you Will the plot of the third episode of "The Soul of Chess" be designed like this?"

"Yeah, that's it!" The yellow-haired glasses man pushed up his glasses that were constantly emitting death rays at his good friends, and said slowly in an unusually solemn tone, "Everything you encounter in life , is a special experience. We record everything and continue to accumulate experience, engrave the things we encounter in the depths of our memories, engrave the people we meet in our souls, and build a unique world in our hearts! , all so that when we create comics on a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, we can integrate everything into the comics, so that the unique inner world can be displayed in front of everyone, and interfere with the real world..."

"Huh? Qiu Ren, what are you talking about?" Lan Dai looked at his good friend with disdain and decisively started the complaint mode! "Why do I feel like... I'm not facing you now, but a certain second-rate person?"

"...This is the [Inherent Barrier] that Cheng said!" Ignoring the sad expression on his good friend's face, a certain man with yellow hair and glasses was already immersed in his own world, "At that time, I heard When Cheng said these words, I laughed at that guy many times that he was hopeless... But now when I set foot on this level, I realized that the person who really should be laughed at was actually me. Yes, Kouga!”

"..."

Hey, hey, hey, classmate Landai, what kind of trouble are you trying to make with this "hopeless" look? Never give up! This is your good friend! Even if the infection by a middle-class cartoonist is truly hopeless, at least...

At least put on an expression that says "I'm sorry, I've tried my best"!
