I am the master of depressive comics

Chapter 130 Kamiya Yu’s comic studio and new assistant

"Understood, we will definitely draw interesting works."

Sincerity Supreme and Takagi Akito responded in unison. Hattori Tetsu on the other end of the phone gave a few words of encouragement and then hung up.

His eyes returned to Kamiya Yu, and with the rapid passage of time, he arrived at the next day in the blink of an eye.

Kamiya Yu, who was still sleeping, was awakened by the rapid ringing of the doorbell.

So Kamiya Yuu reluctantly climbed out of bed, rubbed the head of the chicken coop, and kept mumbling.

"Who is it! You came so early, can't you come back after waking up at noon?"

Kamiya Yu kept mumbling, but still opened the door, and a familiar figure appeared outside the door, it was Huacheng Kyoko whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Good morning, Mr. Kamiya, I'm here to apply for a job as a manga assistant."

oh?

"Isn't school starting soon? Why are you coming here at this time?"

Kamiya Yu heard Huacheng's words and asked softly.

At the same time, a tired tone reached the girl's ears. Huacheng Xingzi didn't react much and just continued to speak.

"I want to drop out of school and find a job."

? ? ?

"What's going on! You're only a sophomore in high school now! Wouldn't it be a good idea to wait until you get your high school diploma and don't want to go to school to enter society again?"

Kamiya Yuu was originally in a sleepy state, but was completely awakened by Huacheng Kyoko's words, so his tone became urgent.

"I have considered it. I want to call myself a cartoonist in the future and support myself with comics."

"Being a mangaka is not that easy. After all, Sakurajima's manga industry is very complicated. You have to know that one hundred thousand..."

Looking at Huacheng, he shook his head and slowly spoke out his understanding.

When Kamiya Yu heard this, he quickly reminded him with some worry. But before Kamiya Yuu could finish speaking, Huacheng Kyoko in front of her interrupted.

"Only one person out of 100,000 can make a living with comics. I know this too."

"Teacher Kamiya, please stop trying to persuade me. In addition to my job as an assistant, I also have other part-time jobs, so it won't be a problem to support myself."

After hearing Hua Cheng's rejection, what Yu Kamiya wanted to say was stuck in his throat and could not be vomited out.

He didn't know how to persuade the other party, or he was not qualified to make any decisions for Huacheng. Everything was her own choice.

Hey~~!

"I understand, come in now. Didn't you say you wanted to be my assistant? Then wait for me for a while."

Kamiya Yu welcomed Huacheng into the house, then went back to the room to change clothes, and called the editor Miyomae, informing him of the fact that he wanted to rent a studio, and asked him to recommend it.

Yuu Kamiya didn't wait for about half an hour when Ken Miyamae called.

It is said that in the Kamiya neighborhood near my home, there is a comic studio with a good environment and complete tools, and it is very close to my school.

After receiving the news, Kamiya Yu took Huacheng and rushed there slowly.

As for why Kamiya Yu rents a studio, it is because he will recruit more assistants to help him draw comics in the future.

A serial cartoonist has about three or four cartoon assistants, and even five or six.

The assistants' work mainly consists of five major aspects: drawing lines, background, blackening, applying dots, effect lines, and whitening.

Recruiting assistants for cartoonists can greatly reduce the time it takes to draw cartoons and the pressure on themselves.

When Yuu Kamiya arrived at the studio, the room was about 100 square meters and there were two lounges. As for the workspace for drawing cartoons, the workplaces of cartoonists and assistants are clearly distributed, making it look extremely comfortable.

"Not bad, what do you think of Huacheng?"

Kamiya sat in front of the painting table, placed his hands on the tilted copy table, and simulated the movements of painting.

"It's okay, no discomfort at all."

Huacheng Xingzi picked up the pencil next to the table, drew on the paper on the copy table, and then replied softly.

After Kamiya Yuu discussed the price with the landlord, he took Huacheng and walked out. In the middle of the journey, Kamiya looked at Huacheng beside him, as if he thought of something, and spoke softly.

"Huacheng, you can accept a few working hours a week."

Hmm~~!

After Huacheng Xingzi pondered for a while, she said softly: "Seven days, but the best working time is in the afternoon or evening, and there is also a part-time job in a convenience store during the day."

After hearing this, Kamiya Yuu did some calculations and then continued to speak.

"The working hours are from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., six hours a day, and the salary is 8,000 yuan a day, six days a week, not including food and accommodation, that's okay."

"I'm sorry that I can only afford this price now. I just rented a studio and I don't have much spare money on hand.

Once the profits from the single book of "Death Note" are released, the salary will be increased appropriately. "

Seeing that Huacheng didn't speak, Kamiya Yu thought it was because the other party disliked the money.

After all, writers who serialize in Shueisha usually pay their assistants a daily salary of more than 10,000 yen, which is considered low here.

If I hadn't been short of money right now, I would have offered a price of 10,000 yuan.

When Kamiya Yuu finished speaking, Huacheng Kyoko on the side finally spoke. She lowered her head slightly and whispered to herself.

"No, I was just a little shocked. I didn't expect that comic assistants can still make quite a lot of money."

After hearing this, Kamiya Yuu shook his head unconsciously and continued to explain.

"Comic assistants don't make money. It's about the same as working in a convenience store. And the monthly rent, transportation expenses, meals and other expenses will make your life very difficult."

"Otherwise, you should continue to study. When you graduate as an adult and come to work here, I will welcome you as an assistant."

Kamiya Yu's persuasion did not achieve great results in Huacheng Kyoko, and Huacheng spoke with some dissatisfaction.

"It's impossible. No matter how hard it is, I will persist in the comics industry and become a cartoonist."

"Even if it takes five, ten, or even twenty years, I will not give up. Please stop trying to persuade me, Mr. Kamiya. I have my own ideas."

"Okay, let me give you one last suggestion. If you don't agree, just pretend you didn't hear it."

Hearing Kamiya Yu's reply, Huacheng Kyoko just nodded silently and asked the other party to continue talking.

"You go back and apply for a one-year leave of absence. If you publish a serial work during this year, it doesn't matter even if you are cut off in half after ten weeks."

"That proves that you have talent and are suitable for comics. It doesn't matter if you drop out of school and draw comics. It won't affect the development of your life."

"I'll think about it carefully."

Huacheng Kyoko nodded, and after saying goodbye to Kamiya Yuu, walked towards the end of the street. Watching Huacheng go away, Kamiya Yuu kept shouting to himself.

"It seems that Huacheng is going to have to endure a lot of hardships. Being a cartoonist is not so easy! If I didn't have these past life memories, I would have taken detours for several years and encountered countless setbacks."

As Kamiya Yuu talked, he couldn't help but think of his childhood ideals. Then he shook his head heavily and continued walking home.
