A middle school cartoonist

"Acheng, it's not okay for you to keep delaying starting a new serial..." Yoshida didn't know how many times he brought up this topic...

Every time the new serial was mentioned before, either Makoto Takahashi used all kinds of weird excuses to get rid of it, or a certain second-year manga artist forcibly changed the topic through [forced negotiation]... However, even if In this way, Yoshida, the editor-in-chief of the weekly, still has no intention of giving up. No matter what difficulties and threats he encounters, he still never forgets to complain to Makoto Takahashi about the new serialization!

So... don’t underestimate the [genuineness] and perseverance of the editor-in-chief of the weekly magazine!

"Tsk, don't say that women don't like impatient men. Even pets like cats and dogs will dislike their owners who talk too much! So... my beloved cat, you are indeed destined to live alone! "Takahashi Makoto's answer was still the same as before, "Let's talk about new series... now is not the time!"

"Now is not the time... Hey, hey, Cheng, you have stopped serializing for almost four months! And the manga manuscripts you and Mashiro have completed together are enough to continue serializing for at least a month, right?"

"That's true, but I believe you know that once it starts to be serialized in the weekly magazine..." Makoto Takahashi casually pulled out a completed manga manuscript and began to explain to Yoshida the current situation The dilemma, "We can't maintain this level...and My Familiar Cat, are you sure that after a comic is serialized, there will be something like [the style of the first few chapters is different from the style of the later chapters]" Is this really a serious matter?"

"Uh, this..." Although Takahashi Makoto actually gave a reasonable explanation this time, Yoshida still felt extremely depressed... because if he was persuaded again, it would mean that the serialization time of the comic would again Delay later!

"That's why I said now is not the time yet..." Makoto Takahashi looked at the hesitant and unwilling look on Yoshida's face, and couldn't help but spread his hands, "So my beloved cat, you are like most humans. , I always like to take detours when doing things, making simple things very complicated! I didn't choose to serialize it at the beginning, just because I started to consider this aspect, but you always need an explanation. ...Okay, now after I have given a reasonable explanation, you find that you are back to the original situation, that is, the comic cannot be serialized... The result has been determined from the beginning, so why do you need to go around like this? What about a bigger circle?”

"But as the editor-in-chief, I have yet to submit the cartoons of the cartoonist in charge to the serialization meeting..." Yoshida's tone was unusually guilty and... aggrieved! "Then... at least let me know the reason for delaying the new serialization!"

"If you don't believe in doctors, why do you still go to see a doctor when you're sick? If you don't believe in the fairness of the law, then why do you choose to resolve conflicts through the law? My beloved cat, the unique [contradiction] of human beings, It can be said to be vividly reflected in you..." Looking at the helpless Yoshida, Takahashi Makoto had no intention of restraining himself and continued to ridicule unscrupulously, "The reason why I have never explained to you before, a nice way to say it is [ There is a certain order of learning, and there is a specialization in the art], and to put it bluntly, it is [it is difficult to explain it to you based on your wisdom]. So, since you have chosen to be my editor-in-chief, Since you have chosen to believe in the crazy cartoonist Phoenix Institute Jiuzhen... then let's carry this trust until the day of death! Hahahahaha..."

"...Okay, I get it!" Yoshida finally chose to give up... There is nothing that can be done about it!

After all, a certain middle-level cartoonist has come up with the excuse of "the relationship of trust between the cartoonist and the responsible editor", which stands on the highest point of "morality". If he continues to be entangled, Yoshida will begin to doubt that he has ever life!

I see……

No wonder some pundits always like to stand on the highest point of "morality" when discussing certain topics...

In this way, not only can it be persuasive for most people to quickly accept it, but more importantly, if someone raises a refutation, or even just an objection, they can directly accuse the other party through [morality] and put the other party directly. Pushing it to the level of being anti-human and endangering society... It seems that I will have another way of persuasion [killing birds with one stone] in the future!

Seeing Yoshida's aggrieved look, Takahashi Makoto felt "pleasure" and at the same time thought thoughtfully...

"Um, when I say uncle... I'm actually lying to the editor in charge, right?" The young boy pointed at a certain completed comic manuscript on the table and whispered to Uncle Tintin, "Complete a comic manuscript of this level. , In fact, it only takes three hours at most... If it is completed at this speed, it should be no problem to cope with the number of weekly serials!"

"Although your idea is not wrong, it is actually impossible to do it..." Uncle Ding Ding explained very kindly and patiently to the boy Sorata who didn't know much about the weekly serialization, "What you just said is just the time to complete the draft! The plot of the comic needs to be conceived, and the comic draft needs to be composed in advance, which requires the cartoonist to spend time thinking! So don't think that the cartoonist can complete the comic draft quickly, and you can serialize it with confidence... In fact, when the comic really starts serialization, the time required to complete a comic draft will far exceed the time it takes to simply draw the content of one episode, and it is even very likely that you can't keep up with the pace of serialization!"

"Eh? Yes, that's right..." The look in the boy Sorata's eyes when looking at a certain middle school cartoonist changed... Of course, it was not a strange look, but just pure admiration and worship! "It's so difficult to publish weekly... It turns out that uncle is such a great cartoonist!"

"But what I just said is only for ordinary cartoonists... Ah Cheng is an exception, well, he should be an unconventional existence!" Ignoring the stiff expression on the face of the young boy Kong Tai, Uncle Ding Ding spoke to himself, "When Ah Cheng completes the comic draft, he usually skips the steps of conceiving the plot and composition, which would have wasted a lot of time, as if the plot and composition of the entire comic had already been completed in his mind... Based on my many years of experience as a cartoonist's assistant, Look, Acheng's enchanting talent is just like a cheat! "

"Well... if that's the case, it means that with your ability, even without Mashiro's help, you can complete the comic manuscript alone, and even serialize it in the weekly magazine without any pressure, right?" The young boy Kota seemed to feel Takahashi Makoto's malicious gaze, lowered his voice again, and whispered to Uncle Ding Ding, "Then why is the uncle still reluctant to hand the comic manuscript to the editor-in-chief and let the comic start serialization in the weekly magazine? Could it be that the uncle has no confidence in passing the serialization meeting? "

"No, with this comic, With the level and style of the paintings, it is not difficult to pass the serialization meeting..." After Uncle Ding Ding's eyes wandered back and forth between Takahashi Makoto and Yoshida for a while, he seemed to notice something, and the corners of his mouth twitched. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered to the young boy Sorata, "I guess the reason why Acheng did this is probably out of personal interest... or just bad taste!"

"Personal... interest? Bad taste?"

"For example, let Yoshida-kun run back and forth, for example, let Yoshida-kun beg humbly, etc..." Uncle Ding Ding spread his hands helplessly, like this, the corners of his mouth The young Sorata, who also began to twitch, said, "If I'm not mistaken... the reason why Makoto is reluctant to serialize is largely because of this!"

Just as the assistant Ding Ding uncle and [Intern Assistant Cat No. 2] Sorata boy privately speculated, the reason why Makoto Takahashi is reluctant to choose serialization is not only because of his excessive pursuit of the quality of the comic manuscript, which delays the completion time, but more importantly... it is because Yoshida's attitude every time he begs, and his tangled look when he is confused by various excuses, will make a certain middle school cartoonist feel extremely happy!

To some extent...

In order to obtain the feeling called [pleasure], Makoto Takahashi is really working hard!
