Gotta Go the Healing Route

I believe these assistants can quickly adapt to the line drawing work of "Flame Fist" and "Chain Saw Man", which return to the classic painting style after drawing the small round face for half a year.

But the first three chapters of the works that need to be prepared before serialization, whether it is "Chain Saw Man" or "Flame Fist", Kazama Xi is prepared to do it by himself.

Time soon came to the end of July. In the studio, Yu Kazama and Aster Uemura were sitting face to face on the sofa.

In the middle is the tea table, on which there are sketches stapled with staples.

"Two different works, Mr. Xi, you still made it..."

Looking at the stack of manuscripts in front of her, Uemura Ziwan muttered to herself.

Her mood is very complicated, and the headache is that Kazama Xi actually produced two new works at the same time.The joy is that in this way, the pressure on my uncle Akira Kitaoka's new publication will be much less.

"Actually, it's okay. I drew some "Chain Saw Man" before the end of the magic circle. "Flame Fist" is the real result of this half month." Kazama Xi said calmly.

Uemura Aster couldn't wait to pick up one of the stacks of drawings and read them.

The beautiful painters who return to the dead pen make people feel pleasing to the eye at first glance.

Although the story of the magic circle is good, the style of painting is also very popular after readers get used to it.But because of the small round face's style of painting, it is not uncommon for readers to give up reading at the beginning.

However, in her hands, the style of the comic called "Flame Fist" is definitely able to attract the vast majority of readers.

"Let me take a look..."

Aster Uemura began to slowly flip through the pages, her expression gradually becoming serious while watching.

"Looking at the background narration and the dialogue of the characters, this should be a post-apocalyptic work."

The word doomsday itself represents heaviness and despair, and it is undoubtedly classified as a niche theme.

The more niche the subject matter, the more difficult it is to control.

When an editor reads a new work, if the full score is [-] points.That theme must occupy more than fifty points.

To some extent, the subject matter will determine the fate of a comic.

If it was another author, Aster Uemura would probably judge this work as a death sentence when she saw that the work had an apocalyptic background.

However, who is Kazama Xi, a young man who can deconstruct the theme of magical girls and shape it into an unparalleled masterpiece.

Even if this young man is painting the theme of the end of the world, Ziwan Uemura will not have the slightest doubt.

There may even be a sense of 'it should be'.After all, all the way to the present, the works brought by Kazama Xi are basically slanted.

"The Blesser...a human being with superpowers. The main character is the Blesser with the ability to regenerate constantly."

"The whole village survived by eating the protagonist's meat?"

Uemura Aster gradually widened her eyes.

In the background of the end of the world, things and materials are scarce, and the protagonist named Agni uses his super power to cut off his own arms to provide food for the people in the village.

Such a setting can be described as shocking.

The following story is also very simple. A well-wisher who can manipulate the power of inextinguishable flames came to the village and found that the people in the village lived on human flesh and then burned the village to the ground.

The flame will never go out until it burns the target completely, and the protagonist's body is constantly regenerated while burning.

The protagonist endures the pain of burning, but he can't die anyway.

The protagonist's sister, who has the same ability, is burned into charcoal.

Just in the first episode of the opening, the protagonist's sister received a lunch box.

The protagonist is constantly enduring the torment of the flames because of the ability to regenerate.

The depression and despair of the last days are vividly displayed in the first chapter.It should be said that it is the consistent style of 'Farewell to the Rain'.

"The main line of the story is the story of the protagonist Agni's revenge, right?"

Aster Uemura raised her head and asked Kazama Xi.This kind of thing can be easily seen through the initial development of the story.

But Kazama Xi didn't answer her words, but looked at the new Jump issue that Aster Uemura had brought along with her, with a serious expression on her face.

Uemura Aster immediately shut her mouth.

Kazama Xi also came back to her senses, and waved the jump in her hand.

"This is how the same thing?"

"What?" Aster Uemura asked pretending to be stupid.

"Stop pretending..."

Kazama Xi put the jump on the coffee table.

"Why is this issue of Jump suspending four comics at the same time?"

On the coffee table, I was turned to the jump on the page of the catalog, and saw that there were several familiar comic names missing from the index of the catalog.

"Wu Shan's "The Bond of the Lingzhu" has also been suspended?"

Chapter 160 VII That Man

In this issue of Jump, four comics are suspended at the same time. What's going on?

Facing Kazama Yuki's question, Uemura Aster smiled, but that smile was a bit unnatural no matter how you looked at it.

"Maybe it's a coincidence."

"Coincidence?" Kazama Xi rubbed her brows and shook her head helplessly.

"Is there really such a coincidence that the four comics were suspended at the same time?"

"Except for "Detective Odd Records" by Zhicheng-kun and Takano-kun, it is understandable, but what about the other three."

"And even Wushan has suspended its publication."

"Maybe... Miss Wushan wants to take a break?" Uemura Ziwan glanced at Kazama Xi who was on the coffee table jump and said cautiously.

"Do you think this is possible?" Kazama Xi asked back.

It is not ruled out that the short-term break is for lazy rest.But as far as Feng Jianxi has known him, Wu Shanyun is definitely not such a person.

On the contrary, Wu Shanyun is absolutely against suspending the journal. If it is not a last resort, the editorial department will force the arrangement, otherwise Wu Shanyun will never take the initiative to suspend the journal.

Picking up the jump again and holding it in his hand, Kazama Xi thought deeply.

In addition to Yashu Zhenren and Wu Shanyun from "Detective Strange Records", the authors of the suspension this time, if he remembers correctly, the other two should be the bridge who drew the extreme blood of "Hot Blood Street" Chang Yi, one is Tong Guren who drew the sports manga "Slam Dunk".

The authors who are taking a hiatus this time all have a characteristic: they are basically new young cartoonists in the past two years.

Kazama Yuki seemed to think of something, looked up at Aster Uemura and said:

"Could it be because of Mr. Zhicheng?"

Aster Uemura's expression froze immediately.

Seeing Aster Uemura's expression, Yu Kazama knew that she had guessed right.

"It's really because of Mr. Zhicheng..." Xi Kazama sighed.

"It looks like, Sister Ziwan, you are aware of this matter. Tell me what happened. After all, Wushan Zhicheng and I also know each other, so we still have to ask about this kind of thing."

"nice weather today..."

Glancing at Aster Uemura who was looking up at the ceiling, wanting to pretend to be garlic, Yuki Kazama took out her phone directly.

"Sister Ziwan, if you don't say anything, I'll go and ask Wu Shan myself."

Hearing Kazama Xi's words, Uemura Ziwan also knew that it was impossible to pretend to be garlic, and a helpless expression appeared on her face.

About 5 minutes later, Kazama Xi was still in Kazama Xi's studio, and Kazama Xi who was sitting on the sofa threw Jump aside.

"So that's how it is..." Kazama Xi nodded.

"So, did Wushan and the others suspend the publication in protest because they were dissatisfied with Mr. Kitaoka's decision?"

"It's too messy." Feng Jianxi shook her head.

Several cartoonists joined forces to choose to be tough with the editorial department. It's really lucky that those three can do such a behavior.

But this kind of thing is indeed quite Wushan Yun style.

"It's messy..."

Uemura Aster sighed.

"Actually, my uncle's intentions are also good. Mr. Zhicheng was admitted to the hospital in less than half a year after he was serialized. In addition to cultivating his body, it would be a good thing for him to create on Jump when he grows up."

Kazama Xi nodded.

From the last dinner with Akira Kitaoka, it can be seen that Akira Kitaoka attaches great importance to the matter of Zhicheng, and at the same time blames himself.It's just that Kazama Xi didn't expect Kitaoka Kounari's approach to be such a one-size-fits-all approach.

"But no matter how good the starting point is, it is unfair to Mr. Zhicheng, which is unacceptable."

"Those who want to become cartoonists want to make a lot of money, but more importantly, they want the world to know the stories they create and let the world know themselves."

Creators pay more attention to 'name', and fame and fortune are twins.With fame, profit will naturally follow.

"At Zhicheng Jun's age, what he pursues is even more pure."

Just like Kazama Xi's predecessor, the obsession with wanting to be famous is deeply linked with the dream.

"The name 'Ya Shu Zhenren' has finally become popular, and Mr. Kitaoka will slap it out. If it is me, I can't stand it."

"It's no wonder Wushan and the others are filled with righteous indignation and do such things."

Kazama Yuki said slowly, and then asked Uemura Ziwan:

"So, what's the current situation? I'm talking about Mr. Kitaoka and Wushan in the editorial department."

Uemura Aster sighed again.

"The two sides have reached a stalemate. Previously, Wushan and the others handed over the appeal to uncle through the editor, but uncle refused without hesitation. Wushan and the others were also very firm in their attitude and immediately stopped the publication."

"At present, what Wushan and the others mean is that if uncle doesn't give in, they will continue to suspend the publication."

While speaking, Aster Uemura even felt a little rejoiced in her heart.We all know that gifted and talented young geniuses are more or less problem children.

This time about Wu Shanyun, her colleague Daxiong Longyi was already losing his hair in anxiety.After all, Kitaoka Akira will not argue with Wushan, but he will definitely let the editor in charge take responsibility.

But Feng Jianxi is different. Apart from a slight problem with the creative direction and thinking, he is a sensible and considerate gentle boy in his daily life, at least he doesn't know how to mess things up.

"Speaking of which, didn't Mr. Kitaoka say that he would be transferred this week?"
