A middle school cartoonist

Chapter 696 The news that the Yacheng Mu Mengye good friend group heard that day

Although they are already married, the lifestyle of Lan Dai and the yellow-haired glasses guy has not changed much. They spend more time in the comic studio every day than at home...

Like his usual behavior habits, Lan Dai is leaning over the table, meticulously completing the comic draft, while the yellow-haired glasses guy scratches his head from time to time, and then writes and draws on the desk...This is the usual mode of Yacheng Mu Mengye good friend group creating comics. One is responsible for conceiving the plot, and the other is responsible for converting the text and the rough and distorted [Soul Painter's Magic Storyboard] into comic drafts!

However, what is slightly different from usual is that on the desks of both Lan Dai and Huang Mao Glasses, there is an unopened weekly comic book "Shonen Jumk". Whether it is Lan Dai who is finishing the draft or Huang Mao Glasses who is thinking about the plot, they will shift their attention to the weekly magazine from time to time...

On weekdays, the two will not be distracted when working, but today is a little different... After all, today is the date of the new issue of the weekly magazine!

Also... it is the issue that serializes the final episode of the comic "Fate"!

Maybe he wants to change his mind, or maybe he is a little tired from thinking about the plot for a long time...In short, Huang Mao Glasses, who found many reasons for himself in his heart, finally couldn't help but pick up the weekly magazine on the table under the resentful eyes of his good friend, directly opened the package, and conveyed the message of "I'll enjoy it first" to the other party with his eyes, and prepared to start observing the comics!

"Akito... have you thought about the plot of the next manga?" Because he still had unfinished manga manuscripts, Lan Dai could only vent his resentment of not being able to observe the weekly magazine with words, "Also... didn't we agree to watch it together before? By the way, why are you always like this!?"

"Sorry, Supreme!" After clasping his hands together to apologize to his best friend, a certain yellow-haired man with glasses threw all the reasons for his idleness, "Because my mind is full of speculations about the ending of the manga "Fate"... By the way, in my current state, are you sure that the plot I wrote is really okay?"

"If it's Akito, it should be okay... probably..." Regarding the reasons of his best friend, Lan Dai said with the determination of [not trusting you, but trusting the me who believes in you]... But from the tone, not only can't the existence of [trust] be felt at all, but it seems more like a lack of confidence!

However, Lan Dai expressed his understanding of his best friend's explanation!

Because not to mention that the good friend was too eager...

In fact, even Lan Dai himself, because of his curiosity about the ending of the comic "Fate", couldn't calm down and put his soul and emotions into the comic draft in front of him with a brush as usual!

"And I'm also curious, why can a comic like "Fate" that we are good at [evil ways] achieve such overwhelming popularity in the weekly magazine..."

It is also a comic of [evil ways], and it was completed by the two cartoonists who are not good at this type of work. Even if it took advantage of the popularity of the two cartoonists, it shouldn't have achieved such a result that almost crushed other comics in the weekly magazine! ?

The yellow-haired man with glasses, who was halfway through his words, suddenly saw the lost look of his good friend, and decisively swallowed the second half of the sentence back!

"The finale of the comic "Fate"...?" Lan Dai muttered softly, and the brush in his hand stopped involuntarily. He stared at the weekly magazine on the table, his eyes showing loss and unwillingness. After a long silence, he whispered in a faint tone, "Really? That comic... has it reached the end?"

"..."

At this time, the yellow-haired glasses man who should have comforted his good friend could not say his words of comfort as skillfully and fluently as usual... No, the yellow-haired glasses man could not even open his mouth!

No matter what kind of plot that killed the readers appeared during the serialization of the comic "Fate"; no matter what kind of magical twists and turns appeared in the plot of the serialized comic "Fate"... Since the serialization of the comic "Fate", the good friends Yacheng Mu Mengye have never won once!

Yes, whether it is a reader survey or various popularity surveys conducted by the weekly magazine, the good friends Yacheng Mu Mengye have never won once!

If it were other types of comics, it would be fine. After all, after years of baptism and tempering, the good friends, Yacheng Mu Mengye, have already determined that compared with the [kingly] comics, the cartoonist Yacheng Mu Mengye is better at [evil] comics!

But this comic called "Fate" is more inclined to the [evil] comics!

In the field that he is good at, he was completely defeated by a cartoonist who is not good at this field, and he was crushed from all aspects from the plot to the character setting, leaving him with no power to fight back... If it were an ordinary cartoonist, this kind of frustration and humiliation, maybe he would have already turned on the [life loser] mode and fled in embarrassment! ?

In a sense, the combination of Yacheng Mu Mengye and the good friends is definitely quite strong and tough in their hearts!

Ever since Lan Dai made an ambiguous comment, the studio of Yashiro Mumengye has fallen into a dead silence. The two people, each with their own thoughts, let alone discussing comics happily as usual... I'm afraid the two of them now don't even have the mind to observe comics, right?

However, the silent atmosphere was soon broken by the vibrating mobile phone on the table!

"..."

Although I really want to say that it's really a good time to call at this time... But when the yellow-haired glasses guy picked up the phone and saw the caller ID, his expression suddenly changed. He gestured to his good friend and immediately turned on the hands-free to answer the call!

"Although I also know that usually at this time, Takagi-kun and Mashiro-kun, you should be completing the creation of comics, and I shouldn't call to disturb you..." The voice on the other end of the phone was the editor-in-chief of Yashiro Mumengye, Uncle Hattori! "But I think some of the news I just heard needs to be... no, it should be said that I must tell you!"

"Hattori-san, is... there something wrong with our comics?" Lan Dai, who had already walked quickly to the side of the yellow-haired man with glasses, suddenly became a little nervous and asked loudly on the phone, "Could it be that the weekly magazine is planning to cut our comics?"

It is normal for Lan Dai's classmates to have such speculations. After all, today is not only the day when the new issue of the weekly magazine is released, but also the day when some new serials are decided... and some unpopular comics are cut off!

"Machi-kun, although the popularity of your comics has declined recently, it is not to be cut off, hehe!" After completing the task of [Using Habitual Catchphrases], the tone of the editor Hattori suddenly changed, "You probably haven't had time to read today's weekly magazine yet? I'll tell you in advance that after the comic "Fate" is finished, the next comic by Eiji Nizuma is called "Fate Stay Night", and just at the serialization meeting, it was confirmed that it will be officially serialized from the next issue! "

"This name..." The good friends looked at each other and asked impatiently, "Is it the sequel to the manga "Fate"? "

"It should be like this. After all, many of the new serialized characters have also appeared in the manga "Fate"... and..." The editor Hattori on the other end of the phone seemed to hesitate for a moment before deciding to continue telling the good friends Yacheng Mumengye and Yacheng Mumengye some explosive news, "Takahashi Makoto, that is, Mr. Hououin Kyouma, also submitted a new manga at the serialization meeting, and it was also decided to start serialization in the next issue!"

"Acheng, that guy, is he planning to start dual serialization again?" Well, Lan Dai classmate started to complain again...

"Wait, Hattori-san, if I heard it right..." Compared with good friends, the yellow-haired glasses man's ability to analyze information is visually stronger, "Acheng and Nizuma Eiji are... planning to serialize separately in the next issue of the weekly?"

"Well, Nizuma Eiji's manga is "Fate Stay Night, and the manga by Hououin Kyouma is Steins;Gate, and... "The editor Hattori on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment before slowly continuing, "According to Yoshida-kun, the manga named Steins;Gate..."

"...will be the last serialized work by the manga artist Hououin Kyouma!!!"
