Gotta Go the Healing Route

The narrative, that is, the story told by the main body of the comic depends on the imagination and talent of the cartoonist.

Thinking of this, Aster Uemura couldn't help becoming nervous.

This work is a golden egg that she finally found in the vast ocean of contributions.

But whether the golden egg has a hollow shell, or whether it is really a golden rooster is still unknown.

Which one it is depends on whether the story of "After the Death" is interesting or exciting.

With nervousness and anticipation, Aster Uemura devoted herself to reading.

The story unexpectedly begins with everyday life.

Shota Machiya, a boy who dreams of sending a model rocket into the sky.

Ayase Asuna is a gentle and beautiful girl with excellent character and learning.

Machiya Shota's attempts to launch a model rocket failed again and again, but Ayase Asuna always encouraged him silently.Gradually, the boy secretly develops feelings for the girl.

This is a story of youthful love, and the youthfulness and innocence of the student days are vividly reflected in the first few pages of the first chapter.

The boy Machiya Shota is clumsy. Although he knows his feelings and likes the girl Ayase Asuna, he still can't confess his love to her smoothly.

And one day, the boy finally couldn't hold back anymore.

With the repeated failures of the rocket launch, the experience is continuously accumulated, and the final success is not far away.Machiya Shota wants to complete his confession to Ayase Asuna before the rocket's final lift-off.

However, just when Machiya Shouta plucked up the courage to ask Ayase Asuna out, he learned a bad news about Ayase Asuna.

The girl's father died.The place of death was in a dark alley next to his rocket model laboratory building.

At the funeral of Ayase Asuna's father, seeing the girl crying bitterly, Machiya Shota had no intention of confessing.He didn't want to take advantage of the fire at this time.

A few days later, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, Machiya Shota was playing with his own rocket in the laboratory.

However, the entire rocket laboratory was a bit empty, and Ayase Asuna hadn't been here since her father's death.

The heroine's family has changed, will the love between the boy and the girl end?

Seeing this, Aster Uemura couldn't help thinking.

It has to be said that this story has a strong sense of substitution, which made Aster Uemura, as a reader, worry about Shota Machiya.

But soon, the story ushered in a turning point.

Wen Jia, a girl who claims to be a postman and delivers letters to the dead, appears.

"It seems that the title will be reflected here."

Thinking about it, Aster Uemura stretched her waist and shook her stiff neck.

In fact, seeing this, Uemura Ziwan's heart has stabilized.

Aside from the cover, the excellent painting style as always, the author's ability to narrate is also very experienced.

The rhythm of the narration matches the narration in the young man's heart, like the spring breeze turning into rain, which can drive the readers' clarity unconsciously.

"Such a work is definitely at the level of a 'good work', and it can even be selected."

If the following story narration is paved according to this rhythm, Aster Uemura dares to use her career to guarantee that this is an award-winning work.

"The back of the story should be that the protagonist takes the posthumous story of the heroine's father as an opportunity, and the two finally overcome difficulties and get together."

Relying on her many years of reading experience, Aster Uemura has already made a judgment on the general direction of the story of "After the Death".

Although painted like this, the plot is a bit clichéd.But under the author's narrative rhythm, it is like a cup of tea.Elegant but not vulgar.

After a little movement of her stiff body due to sitting for a long time, Uemura Ziwan continued to flip through the sketches and read the story behind.

This posthumous letter was sent by Ayase Asuna's father to Ayase Asuna's boyfriend.

When Wen Jia asked whether Machiya Shota was Ayase Asuna's boyfriend, Machiya Shota hesitated a bit.

However, under Wen Jia's repeated questioning, he still told the truth - he is not Ayase Asuna's lover.

But fearing that Wen Jia would leave because of this, Machiya Shota promised to confess to become Seaya Asuna's boyfriend within today, so as to obtain the qualification to take this posthumous letter.

Wen Jia agreed.

But after leaving, the envelope containing the letter from Seiya Asuna's father after his death was accidentally dropped and left in the Rocket Lab.

This letter was taken by Machiya Shota.

Driven by curiosity, Machiya Shota opened the envelope first, and saw the words left by Seaya Asuna's father.

The drawing is split here, and the astonished expression on Shota Machiya's face is magnified.And the first chapter also ends here.

Seeing that the storyboard specially enlarged the surprised expression of the hero, Uemura Ziwan's heart skipped a beat.

If it were ordinary, the letter from the father who cared for his daughter after his death did not seem to be enough to make people show such a shocked expression.

Could it be that there is something shocking in the letter?

The fresh and gentle story rhythm suddenly became tense here, Uemura Ziwan swallowed her saliva, and opened the content of the next chapter.

Chapter 12 A love story needs a hatchet

Shueisha headquarters, inside the editorial office.

It was very late at night, but Aster Uemura had no memory of catching the subway at all.

She has been attracted by the stories created in the comics, her eyes linger on each picture for a long time, and the action of flipping through the comics is extremely slow.

The story has moved on to the next chapter.

What is in the posthumous text written by Ayase Asuna's father is not a matter of course.But that night, Machiya Shouta invited Ayase Asuna out.

In the drawing, in the silent park with no one around, Machiya Shota's nervous and expectant expression is extremely vivid.

Ayase Asuna, who was beside Shota Machiya, lowered her head, her expression hidden in the shadows.

Taking a deep breath, Machiya Shota said, "Asuna, I..."

"Are you finally going to confess?" Seeing this, Uemura Ziwan also became nervous.

"I like...."

Shota Machiya finally said those three words, but before he could call out Ayase Asuna's name, his words were interrupted.

The one who interrupted him was Wen Jia, a postman girl who came out of the darkness.

"You are Ayase Asuna."

Wen Jia spoke softly, with a blank expression on her face, as if she was a messenger from hell, and her eyes fell on Ayase Asuna who was next to Machiya Shota.body.

Seeing Wen Jia, Machiya Shota immediately protected Ayase Asuna behind him.

"Don't come here, Wen Jia..."

"It's absolutely impossible for Asuna to do that."

"What after death, it's a complete lie."

"That kind of thing is not trustworthy at all, what I trust is Asuna!"

"But Wen is absolute after death." Wen Jia said with a blank expression as he walked towards the two.

"It's annoying, Asuna believed in my rocket, so I also trust Asuna..."

"Asuna definitely didn't kill her father!!!"

Excited, Machiya Shota said these words.

And at this moment, the white letter paper in Machiya Shota's pocket fell out.

Under the light and shadow of the street lamp, the letter from the dead person, the content on the letter paper is clearly displayed:

"I was killed by that stinky cousin of Ayase Asuna, that guy is a murderer, a slutty woman!"

"This....."

Seeing the drawing, the letter came from Asuna Ayase.After the content of the article after his father died, Ziwan Uemura stood up from his seat and yelled loudly.

If it weren't for the fact that there is no one in the editorial department right now, they might think that the new editor has gone crazy due to too much pressure.

No wonder Aster Uemura reacted like this.

Isn't this a short comic about youthful love?

The warmth and beauty of the previous foreshadowing cannot be faked, but why does the story turn here.

But what shocked Aster Uemura was not over yet.

When Machiya Shota said those words, Ayase Asuna raised her head.

The expression that had been hiding in the shadows was finally revealed.

Cold and sinister.

The image of the gentle girl before was completely gone.

Ayase Asuna suddenly stood up from the bench, and she took out a pocket knife from her pocket.

While Machiya Shota was still arguing loudly to Wen Jia, Ayase Asuna stabbed the knife into Machiya Shota's body expressionlessly.

Shota Machiya fell, blood spilling over the grounds of the park.

In the darkness, only Wen Jia and Asuna Ayase, whose hands were stained with blood, faced each other.

The drawing is split here, and the expressions of Wen Jia and Ayase Asuna are enlarged.

The narration also appears at this time.

"The living will lie."

"Weakness, fear, and ugliness."

"It's better to be dead by comparison."

..............

The hero was suddenly stabbed to death by the heroine.

This is like Ome who has been with you for many years, one day you strayed into the bathroom and saw that hers was bigger than yours.

Such a sudden plot twist makes the originally clear youth love story suddenly become complicated and confusing.
