Dramatic Blade

On Saturday, Ukiyo-echo First Street, a corner of a shopping mall.

"Ms. Asahikawa—here—"

The tea party for cartoonists, as the name suggests, is an irregular gathering of cartoonists in the chat room. Asahikawa thought that the task of rushing to draft is not so heavy, so he agreed.

The cartoonists who participated in the tea party were some of the cartoonists that Asahikawa was familiar with for a while, the group of Anariki Yumeha, the new wife Eiji, and Nozaki Umetaro. The four of them specially came to Ukiyoe Town. When Asahikawa arrived, Majo , Takagi, and the new wife were all eating, Nozaki Umetaro, also known as Yumeno Sakiko, was taking pictures of the mall with a camera, and there was a stranger.

Among them, the new wife Eiji, who was the most eccentric among them, raised her hand and greeted Asahikawa: "Mr. Asahikawa's dress is still so cool—"

Although it was a cloudy day, Asahikawa still wrapped himself up tightly before going out. This was not the first time, but he is not the only manga artist with eccentricities.

Asahikawa shrugged, took off his hat, clapped his hands with his new wife Eiji, and said narrowly, "Let's not talk about me, but you guys, why haven't you serialized recently? Is Jiang Lang exhausted?"

"And this is...?" He looked at the unknown person.

The young man wearing black-rimmed glasses hurriedly stood up and took out his business card: "Hello, Mr. Asahikawa, I am Tatsuro Kosugi, the editor of "JUMP."

edit?Asahikawa took the business card silently for a while, why did an editor suddenly arrive?

"Jiang Lang's talents are exhausted... Mr. Asahikawa still speaks so harshly." Akito Takagi at the side seemed to be hit.

The sincerity is the highest, so I have to explain: "Xiaoshan Jun is the new editor after you transferred to "YJ" serialized by Asahikawa, and the latest work is "Six Eyes". Yesterday I heard that we are coming to Ukiyo-e Town to find you, please. We brought him here."

One of the most lively discussions on comic forums recently is guessing what will happen after Asahikawa’s contract termination. Everyone has a heart for gossip, but this kind of retiring fever comes and goes quickly. If it weren’t for the current "JUMP" Being popular in "Six Eyes", maybe people have long forgotten that there is such a person as Ichiji.

This kind of discussion is basically out of sight and out of mind for the manga artist himself. Asahikawa looked around and admitted frankly: "Hasn't Editor Xiaoshan seen the teacher of Zhuguo 99? I am disappointed." Well, I’m Ichiji, who has exhausted his talents, and I was recently told not to clarify my identity on the forum, so as to catch the popularity of “Six Eyes.”

Kosugi Dalang, whose purpose was seen, showed a shameful expression: "I'm really sorry, because Teacher 99 is too mysterious, and the guess of the new wife teacher can't convince me, so I still want to ask you personally."

According to editor Xiaoshan, the mystery of Zhuguo 99 has only been communicated with the magazine on the Internet. Both the submission of the manuscript and the signing of the contract are all done by fax, but every time "Six Eyes" will be delivered in advance. The cartoonist gave editor Xiaoshan a strange sense of stability in less than a month.

The new wife Eiji raised her head from the milk tea dessert: "Ah, I actually think Ichiji is Mr. Asahikawa just because Asahikawa-sensei said that he knows kendo, and the moves of the hero in "Three Thousand Worlds" are very special!"

Asahikawa's eyelids twitched for a moment, that is to say, he is a genius in comics such as his new wife Eiji, and he can't tell the difference between him and Zhuguo 99's comics.

Asahichuan couldn't help but wondered for a while and asked, "Is it really that similar?"

Everyone looked at him in unison, with incredible eyes.

Asahikawa scratched his head for a while: "I don't have the habit of flipping through the works of seven or eight years ago. It must be different from my current style of painting. Although they are all narrative styles that pretend to be ghosts, Takagi knows more about the plot, and the style is easy to imitate. .”

He spread his hands in the noisy shopping mall, and said with high spirits: "So for me, it's just that a teacher who learned the style of my previous works drew new and wonderful stories... It's a bit convoluted, but The style of a cartoonist will not remain the same, don’t you want it to be fixed at such a young age, the strength of character is a lifetime thing.”

Although I can't say "young" anymore, Asahikawa said to himself in his heart.

Others were surprised by this speech, and the new wife Eiji even showed a dreamy expression:

"Ms. Asahikawa is indeed a senior."

Asahikawa thought about his current fake age, and felt guilty: "I seem to have joined the industry a few years earlier than you."

After figuring out the situation, Editor Xiaosugi didn't bother any more, and after saying goodbye, he left the tea party to the cartoonists.

"Teacher Mengye, what are you shooting?" Asahikawa asked curiously as he watched Umetaro Nozaki snapping at the mall the whole time.

Umetaro Nozaki turned his head, with a serious expression and a little excitement: "Mr. Asahikawa, does Mr. Asahikawa have any understanding of how couples usually react when they are in love in the mall? I just observed a man and a woman who are suspected of being a couple. The hair color of the woman It’s actually a blue-white-black gradient, which is rare, they seem to be shopping, and I’m curious what kind of friction couples can have during shopping.”

Asahikawa replied seriously for a while: "I'm ashamed, and I didn't understand."

Umetaro Nozaki opened his mind: "Will there be a 'damn rich man' plot in the novel, where the real girlfriend appears after shopping for the women around him?"

"Can your girls' comics be so materialistic?" Asahikawa asked humbly for a moment.

"The new editor suggested that I study more new routines. The current readers are too hard to please."

Asahikawa had a deep understanding for a moment, and was about to second, when his new wife, Eiji, reminded him.

"Sensei Yumeno and Sensei Asahikawa, don't suddenly start collecting materials again. Everyone hasn't seen Mrs. Asahikawa for so long. Sensei Yumeno can't monopolize it."

Akito Takagi also patted the sincerity around him: "And the protagonist of this tea party is the highest, everyone can't ignore it!"

"Ah, I'm sorry." Umetaro Nozaki sat back on his seat with the camera in his arms, with a look of regret on his face: "Although I happened to see a couple just now who were about to follow..."

"Don't come up with such criminal thoughts all of a sudden, hey!"

"What's the plan, Majo-kun?"

Asahikawa glanced over for a moment, "Is it a new serialization?"

Akito Takagi shook his head pretending to be mysterious, "Didn't Asahikawa ask why we haven't serialized recently?"

The new wife Eiji raised her hand: "Let me say it first, I was so unlucky because of food poisoning that I was pressed by the editor to recuperate until now, Mr. Asahikawa, don't worry, I'm all well, and the manga will be published on "JUMP again soon." "!"

Asahikawa saw that he was still eating and drinking, and guessed that he was really fine, which was very like the style of his new wife Eiji.

Majoko scratched his head: "It's because I'm getting married..."

Asahikawa was surprised for a moment: "Are you finally getting married, congratulations!"

The highest love experience of Zhencheng is very famous in the circle of cartoonists. When he was in middle school, he made an agreement with his girlfriend very innocently. He will not meet until the two of them realize their dreams together. However, Zhencheng's highest dream is to successfully animate his works. , girlfriend Azumiho's dream is to voice the other's anime heroine.

This kind of dream chasing is what they see in their eyes. Unexpectedly, Majoko brought them an invitation for this tea party. For a while, Asahikawa and Nozaki Umetaro glanced at each other, and after they both accepted it, they unanimously revealed something. With an expression similar to satisfaction, he sighed: "It's so pure!"

Akito Takagi said, "These two guys must have taken you as material!"

Because the relationship between acquaintances and friends finally came to fruition, the topic of the tea party has always been about marriage and more life-oriented aspects. During the period, the new wife Eiji directly asked Asahikawa if he had the intention of retiring. He did not hide it from himself. This point, although he is a good friend, after all, it is hard to explain the fact that he will not retire and will not grow old.

His gaze slowly fell to the cup on the table, and while picking up the teacup, he thought, after the highest wedding in Zhencheng, he would start to find reasons to refuse to attend the cartoonist tea party.

Although he can also be a mysterious cartoonist like Zhuguo 99, but in the current era of more and more developed network communications, such a mystery cannot be maintained, just like he is now being talked about and guessed after the termination of the contract. The same movement, had the opposite effect.

While chatting about Asahikawa, the mentality of an old man like time flies in his heart for a while, until the end of the tea party, Nozaki Umetaro suddenly woke him up with a question.

Girl manga artists never give up any material: "Has Mr. Asahikawa had a girlfriend recently?"

For some reason, Asahikawa felt that Nozaki Umetaro was a strange person not only because of the way he drew materials, but because his brain circuit had a mysterious black hole-like attraction. He felt that it didn’t matter that he was sucked in as a manga artist, but Sometimes it seems that the coincidences in the world are catering to the brain circuit of this shojo manga artist.

Ukiyo-e town can be said to be big or small, and Asahikawa is never surprised to meet people he knows in the lively first street on weekends. After all, it is also very close to the beauty of human life.

Faced with this problem, Asahikawa, who was about to pay the bill, was momentarily stunned when he heard a very familiar male voice behind him:

"Ah?"

There was also a female voice who had met once: "Huh, huh? Mr. Asahikawa? During the day?"

[I just observed a man and a woman who seem to be lovers. The women's hair color is blue, white and black gradient, which is rare. 】

The blue, white and black gradient color, isn't that the hair color of the snow girl!

What he wants is not this kind of chance encounter!

Asahikawa froze unnaturally for a moment, and the eyes of girl manga artist Sakiko Yumeno became sharp!
