Comic cheating, dream-eating life

"Editor, what on earth is going on!"

Yoshida Koji spread "!" in front of Zuo Zuomu and asked angrily.

He just recalled that that day, Chun Xia Qiu came to Zuo Zuomu with a paper bag, and the two discussed for a long time.

Zuo Zuomu raised his eyes: ""Dream Eater" is a work based on a real-life cartoonist. I have your consent..."

Yoshida interrupted Zuo Zuomu, "That's not what I'm talking about!"

"Yoshida!" Ping Yoshihisa shouted, "Be more respectful to the editor."

Yoshida rubbed his face and calmed down, "Sorry, I was a little impulsive. As the editor of Spring, Summer and Autumn, why wasn't I notified?"

Zuo Zuomu's expression remained unchanged, "Because Chun Xia Qiu has two comics serialized in "Jumk" at the same time. So after "Ultraman the First Generation" is completed, "Dream Eater" will be serialized in "Jumk"."

""Ultraman Dyna" is over!"

Zuo Zuomu pushed up his glasses, "It wasn't over yet."

Zuo Zuomu remained motionless, and Yoshida Koji simply called Chun Xia Qiu.

After saying a few words, he hung up the phone and left in a hurry.

"I'm going to Teacher Chun Xia Qiu's house."

Zuo Zuomu was speechless. This guy Yoshida was very difficult to deal with. Why did he leave so easily?

There must be something he doesn't know.

…

Yoshida arrived at Nan Shiki's house, and the four Nan family members were watching "The Resurrection of Ancient Titans" seriously.

This is the author's prerogative. Anyone else who wants to see it will have to buy it next Tuesday.

"That work is?"

Looking at the eager Yoshida Koji and the surprised eyes of the three Nan sisters, Minami Shiki stood up and took Yoshida Koji to the studio.

On the phone, he told Yoshida that the one serialized in "Weekly Shōnen Jumk" was not "Dream Eater" but had other works.

"If Takeshi Obata is willing to continue to cooperate, then this comic will be drawn by him."

In the studio, Shiki Minami handed the storyboard of a comic to Koji Yoshida.

"Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba?"

The background is Japan's Taisho period.

There are evil spirits eating people.

The protagonist Tanjiro is a young man who sells charcoal. When he returns home one day, he finds that his originally happy home is now bloody.

His mother and four younger brothers and sisters were all killed. Only his sister Nezuko survived and became an evil spirit.

Under the guidance of ghost hunter Tomioka Giyu, Tanjiro takes Nezuko on the road to becoming a ghost hunter.

"The ghost hunter's fighting ability is breathing? There is a setting for jojo's ripple breathing."

"Yes," Nan Siji nodded, "I like the first part of the Jojo series very much. The battle between Joseph Joestar and Dio is very epic. Justice and evil are intertwined to compose a story. Song of praise.”

Yoshida smiled and nodded, "Most people will like the second or third part. The battle between Er Qiao and Pillar Man is full of interesting battles of wits. In the end, Kaz was rushed into space by a volcanic eruption. Unexpected.”

Nan Siji said, "The third part of Star Fighters introduces a unique system - the substitute. The various substitute abilities and whimsical fighting together make it really hard not to like. But I still Prefer the first one.”

He pointed at Koji Yoshida, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Yoshida sang the theme song of the first part of Jojo on the day I didn't attend the New Year's party. It was very nice."

Koji Yoshida blushed, "Sure enough, Hiramaru was calling you that day... Let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about comics first."

"Uh-huh."

…

Minami Shiki told the development after "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" one by one.

Koji Yoshida nodded, it is indeed a good work.

The two discussed it for a long time before ending.

Yoshida then called Obata.

However, unexpectedly, Takeru Obata actually said: "I'm really sorry, Oba Tashiri contacted me. He had a good idea, and I agreed."

Obata Ken couldn't get through here, Yoshida Koji looked at Minami Shiki, and Minami Shiki scratched his head.

He said distressedly, "To be honest, after the completion of "Kuaga", I plan to draw a very complicated comic, and it will be difficult for me to have the energy to serialize two copies at the same time."

Yoshida reluctantly said, "Then I'll contact another senior teacher."

Nan Siji said: "That's all it can do."

…

On Friday, Zuo Zuomu informed that "Dream Eater" ranked first in this newspaper's survey interview.

"I can start drawing the finished manuscript for the serialization. In February next year, I will officially start serializing it on "Jumk"."

"Understood, it's just..." Nan Siji hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "The editor-in-chief is going to be transferred. Have you told your new wife?"

Zuo Zuomu glanced at his watch and said, "I will notify them."

…

Zuo Zuomu informed other editors about the transfer.

Everyone was shocked.

Yoshihisa Boko will take over as the new editor-in-chief.

Because the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" he was responsible for sold so well.

Koji Yoshida became deputy editor-in-chief.

Hearing the news, Minami Shiki was very shocked. The person who became the deputy editor of "Dream Eater" should be Aida Soichi.

"It's all because of you, teacher. Thank you so much."

It was only then that Nan Shiki suddenly realized that he, an author whose works were selling well, had made many contributions to Yoshida.

……

Zasaki and Hattori Yujiro, in the studio of Shinzuma Eiji.

Zasaki calmly said to Shinzuma Eiji: "It happened suddenly. After the New Year's Party, I will be transferred to the "Bi Sheng Jumk" department."

Shinzuma Eiji was drawing comics with his back to the two people. He was stunned when he heard this.

He turned around and widened his eyes in disbelief.

He didn't listen to Hattori Yujiro's boast of being promoted to team leader.

Shinzuma Eiji jumped from the back of the chair to the two people and didn't speak for a long time.

Yujiro said nervously: "Shinzuma-kun, in front of the editor-in-chief..."

Zasaki said, "If it is for the agreement of that year, there is no problem. I have handed it over to Pingzi."

But Shinzuma Eiji didn't want to say this. He knelt in front of Saasaki and lowered his head.

"Thank you for taking care of me until now."

He knocked heavily on the table and raised his head to show his bruised forehead.

"I was really happy when you came to Aomori to find me that year."

Zasaki couldn't help but recall the past.

"When you suddenly said to me, 'If I become the most popular manga artist, give me the right to complete a manga', I just thought you were a cocky kid.

But now you have grown into a writer who can stand on your own, and I am looking forward to your performance in the future."

Eiji Niizuma said seriously: "I haven't surpassed Teacher Chun Xiaqiu yet, I want to become the number one manga artist in jumk."

...

There is no problem with Eiji Niizuma.

Afterwards, Zuo Zuomu came to the Yacheng Mu Mengye Studio.

As soon as he entered the door, he felt familiar.

There was a poster of "Super Hero Legend".

Except for the lack of smoke, it seemed like he had returned to the days when he was in charge of the manga artist Taro Kawaguchi.
