A middle school cartoonist

"These alchemists are really..." Looking at the comics, the alchemists used almost magical methods to change the terrain, create explosions, and force the Ishval people into a desperate situation. Naoki Kinoshita felt a little depressed. "This kind of monster-like fighting method, fighting against the Ishval people who can only use guns, is completely bullying!"

Compared to "Higurashi", Naoki Kinoshita likes "Fullmetal Alchemist" more! Because Naoki Kinoshita likes reading very much, he has a lot of knowledge involved, and Makoto Takahashi's "Fullmetal Alchemist" also involves many aspects of knowledge!

At first, Naoki Kinoshita was interested in "Fullmetal Alchemist" because of the name of the comic! Naoki Kinoshita had just read a novel about alchemy some time ago, and now he was in the heat of it, and happened to see "Fullmetal Alchemist". With some expectations, he started reading this comic. Just the content of the first few episodes made Naoki Kinoshita exclaim!

First of all, it's "pseudo-scientific" alchemy! In the comics, alchemy is given a setting of "equivalent exchange". In Naoki Kinoshita's opinion, this setting of Fenghuangyuan Xiongzhen classifies alchemy, a pseudoscience, into the category of orthodox science! Objects cannot be created out of thin air, nor can they disappear for nothing. There are gains for every effort, but for those who pay the price, this gain may not be equal to their expectations!

Then there is Edward's brotherhood! After seeing Edward lose his left leg, he shouted loudly that he would get his brother back at any cost. Naoki Kinoshita was sighing at the time! When he saw Al doubting his brother because of Barry's bewitchment, Naoki Kinoshita wanted to pull Al to ask, why do you, who are usually sensible, doubt your brother Edward?

So when Naoki Kinoshita saw Winry crying and telling Al the truth, his nose was a little sour. When he saw the two of them reconciled on the roof in the comics, Naoki Kinoshita's eyes were already wet!

After Hughes died in the last issue, although he knew it was impossible, Naoki Kinoshita was still praying before opening the comics, hoping that a miracle would happen and that Hughes would be able to survive! Perhaps because of his prayers, many of the contents of this issue are about Hughes and Mustang, and the heavy topic of war is introduced into the comics.

War is a terrifying and disgusting existence!

For Naoki Kinoshita, war is too far away! Although there have been constant wars in American countries in recent years, there is peace and prosperity in Zhongzhou and Dongzhou!

Naoki Kinoshita does not know much about war, and many of his views come from the description of historical materials! Although Naoki Kinoshita knows that many historical materials may not be true, Naoki Kinoshita does not care. He is not a fanatical fan of war, and does not want to delve into the truth behind the war recorded in historical materials!

Although "Fullmetal Alchemist" is built in a world where alchemy is extremely developed, its entire background is always permeated with the army and war.

The Ishval War was actually a tragedy caused by the androids who interfered in order to implement national alchemy! This war led to the tragedy of a nation's disappearance and the indelible hatred between the two nations!

Even if Mustang was unwilling to kill, even if Hughes only wanted to live happily with his beloved woman, even if every soldier and general had his own ideas and wishes, they all became tools for killing on the battlefield! When the war was over, many national alchemists who had participated in the Ishval War gave up this awe-inspiring identity because they could not bear the condemnation of their conscience! There is no choice, no escape, so you can only bear it silently! Some people can die heroically for their ideals. Some people must live in humiliation for their ideals!

Although it is only a part, Makoto Takahashi has tried his best to portray the cruelty of the entire war, which also indirectly shows the combat effectiveness of the alchemists! Especially after a large number of alchemists joined the war, the Ishval people went from being able to maintain a balance at the beginning to being in a weak position!

"No wonder Edward's master severely punished Edward after learning that Edward had become a national alchemist!" Seeing the cruel description of war, Naoki Kinoshita was also deeply touched, "It seems that their master may have seen the cruelty of war in the past, so he hates it so much!"

"Alchemy, religion, human nature, war..." Naoki Kinoshita was more and more shocked as he counted. There were too many aspects involved in this "Fullmetal Alchemist"! "Why did Fenghuangyuan Kyouma think of putting so many things in one comic? And it seems that everything is arranged naturally and smoothly. These topics are integrated together and connected appropriately, without a sense of forced disharmony! Should I say that Fenghuangyuan is worthy of it?"

After reading this issue of "Fullmetal Alchemist", Naoki Kinoshita closed his eyes and recalled the plot. Because he was eager to know the content later, he opened the magazine again, trying to find clues about the later plot!

"This... forget it, I really can't fall in love with it!" Naoki Kinoshita accidentally turned to the page where "Higurashi" was serialized. He suddenly felt a little resentful and closed the magazine fiercely. "By the way, couldn't Mr. Fenghuangyuan just serialize "Fullmetal Alchemist"? Why did he still want to draw "Higurashi"? I really don't understand!"

A few days later, Yoshida looked at the reader survey paper about "Han Cicada", and his previously uncertain face finally showed a hint of relief! Because the ranking of this episode still remains in the top ten, it seems that it has escaped the crisis of being cut in half, which makes Yoshida let out a long sigh of relief. Just when Yoshida was about to call Takahashi Makoto to announce the good news, he remembered that Takahashi Makoto is still in the hospital and cannot use his mobile phone!

"There is no problem on Cheng's side, now it's on Hiramaru-kun's side..." Yoshida frowned as he looked at the ranking of Little Sea Otter comics. Although the first chapter strongly took the first place, but in recent times, Here, the ranking kept falling, which made Yoshida very angry!

At the previous serialization meeting, Yoshida vowed to speak boldly, boasting the little sea otter into a genius that is rare to see in a century. Although the content of the first episode did prove Yoshida's outstanding vision, during the recent period, the little sea otter's mood has become... He was a little depressed and kept clamoring to stop publishing, but he disappeared every now and then, which made Yoshida very distressed!

"It seems like what Cheng said, for people like Hiramaru-kun, you should give him a slap in the face!" When Yoshida remembered that he had discussed with Takahashi Makoto before about how to improve the enthusiasm of the little sea otter, Takahashi Makoto listed Here is a very simple example!

"My beloved cat, do you know why Sadaharu can master the skill of [Opening All Locks]?" Makoto Takahashi used a nostalgic tone at that time, holding Sadaharu in front of Yoshida, "Back then, my subordinates once There is a person named Enomoto, right? He is very professional in breaking seals. In order to let Sadaharu master special skills, I specially asked Sadaharu to learn from him for a while. Let Dingchun go to eat a Manchu banquet; if he can't open the seal, let Dingchun go out to beg! After constant training, Dingchun finally mastered the inherent skill of [Opening All Locks]!"

Just when Yoshida was reminiscing, he suddenly saw Minatoura and the editor-in-chief getting ready to go out! The expression on Minato's face was very complicated. He was apologetic and uneasy, but also a little self-blame. Although the editor-in-chief still had a serious face, Yoshida could feel with his intuition that the editor-in-chief was very angry now!

"What happened?" Yoshida pulled a colleague aside and asked in a low voice, "What is the editor-in-chief going to do? Why does he look so angry?"

"'Detective TRAP' is probably a bit dangerous!" A colleague looked around and whispered to Yoshida, "The ranking started to decline before, and after the editor-in-chief heard that the author was hospitalized, he decided to put this comic on hiatus!"

"Suspension of publication? This kind of thing..." Yoshida suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Although his colleague was talking about another comic, Yoshida began to feel uneasy thinking about Makoto Takahashi who was also in the hospital. "Then did the editor-in-chief say anything? ...The matter of the suspension of publication of "Han Chan" and "Steel"?

"Probably... I will also suspend publication!" A colleague looked at Yoshida hesitantly, and when he saw Yoshida's face was a little pale, he immediately defended himself, "Because the cartoonists who are also serializers are now hospitalized. One has suspended publication, but the other one can Guaranteed serialization, this kind of deliberate favoritism will make other authors dissatisfied!"

"Well..." Yoshida remembered that he had discussed the issue of suspending publication with Takahashi Makoto before, and his face was a bit ugly, "Cheng is a popular cartoonist, so it shouldn't be a big deal if he suddenly suspends publication... Forget it, I'd better go to the hospital for treatment. Look! Anyway, Heimaru-kun has always wanted to visit Cheng and the others in the hospital, now it’s time to fulfill his wish!”

"Mr. Yoshida, you are so great!" The little sea otter was very excited after learning that he could go to the hospital, with a flattering smile on his face, "Let's go now! By the way, does the Phoenix Academy teacher need anyone to take care of him?" Don’t let me take care of the Phoenix Academy teacher!”

"Hmph!" Yoshida snorted coldly, his face a little gloomy, "Taking care of Cheng? I think you don't want to draw comics, and you deliberately used this excuse? You can serialize with peace of mind. Since you have become a cartoonist, you must have the skills of a cartoonist. Professional ethics! I’ll take you to see it. Even though Cheng was hospitalized, he didn’t stop drawing comics!”

"Ms. Yoshida, are you also lying?" The little sea otter looked at Yoshida with disbelief, and roared at Yoshida with an affirmative expression, "I said before that after becoming a cartoonist, you will have a high income, and you will also have a high income. I will be popular with girls... But now I am drawing comics every day, and there is no time to rest! I feel that I have become a tool for drawing comics, a slave of the Yoshida family... no, I have become a dog raised by the Yoshida family. !”

"Okay, stop talking nonsense!" Yoshida dragged the little sea otter into the taxi, looked at his watch, and smiled weirdly, "When I take you to the hospital this time, I will show you what I told you before. Are those words true or false? Speaking of Cheng’s girlfriend, she is a very popular singer Rina-chan!”

"Yoshida, you are lying again! I won't believe it easily this time!" The little sea otter completely ignored Yoshida and poked the car window with his finger sadly, "It was because I believed in you that I ended up where I am today. Whatever you say this time, I won’t believe you anymore!”

"Really?" Yoshida looked at the little sea otter and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Since you said so, forget it! I told Rina-chan before that I would ask her to introduce some beautiful big sisters to you when she has time... …”

"Mr. Yoshida, is everything you said true?" A hint of expectation flashed in the little otter's eyes, and his attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees! If it wasn't in the car, the little otter would definitely lie on the ground with his hands and knees prostrated! The little otter showed a smile that he thought was hearty, and gently fiddled with his bangs, "Mr. Yoshida, I will definitely draw comics well when I come back later, for sure!"

"Well, come on, Mr. Hiramaru!" Yoshida looked at the little otter's expectant face, nodded secretly, and silently calculated in his heart that the little otter would probably be able to hold on for a while!

PS: "Dear readers, thank you for your support over the past two months, and I wish you all a happy new year in advance! I hope that in the new year, you will be healthy, have good luck, and have your wishes come true (omit many four-character blessings)..." said a cat who continued to type in a happy and hopeful tone!
