1983 Past Life Manga King

Especially the King of Jungwon Cuisine, which started serializing a while ago.

Of course, I thought Kido’s serious man was a typical hot-blooded cartoon, and I decided to read it nonetheless.

And after a while I had to admit that those thoughts were wrong.

All of them were excellent in perfection.

He even felt that it was more interesting than his previous weekly fire rivals.

It was really surprising that so many cartoons of this level were being serialized in a place that I thought was just a third-class garbage magazine.

“……”

I realized that there was no manga that I could comfortably watch even a single work.

***

“This is the result of the questionnaire.”

When an employee appeared with a piece of paper, all of the Boy Hero editorial staff rushed to him.

“Give me first.”

“Give me first.”

“I.”

An employee handed out a piece of paper to the employees who came by unexpectedly.

And soon there was a sound.

“What! 5th place this time?”

“What?”

The other staff hurriedly scan the paper.

“Wow, that’s really fifth place. What do you do? Nitta-san.”

“Yeah.”

“By the way, it’s really shocking that the world’s Esper Zone is 5th.”

“Is the Esper John ruined? Or maybe the other works are great…”

“These days, magazines are selling a lot. Now, in terms of the number of copies sold, it is a medium-sized magazine.”

“Oh, are you proud of something?”

At that time, Jiro also hurriedly took the paper and looked at the rankings.

Then he checked his rank and clenched his fist.

Oh yea!

Samsara is again in 1st place, and Pasiencia is 3rd this time.

At that time, Nitta, who had been going to the bathroom, was startled and shouted.

“Hey, give me too!”

Then the employee who was handing out the paper handed Nitta a piece of paper as well.

Nitta’s expression, taking it as if he had snatched it, immediately distorted without mercy.

“Damn it, it’s ruined.”

He will probably be called back to the executive office.

I don’t know if it’s a good thing, but once it’s ranked 5th, it’s never going to sound good.

With a contorted face, he packed his bag and went straight to the editorial department.

If you’re in the editorial department on a day like today, there’s no way you’re going to get good results, so you have to go to Nishida’s studio and pretend to come up with some countermeasures.

Just as I was packing my bag, I heard a soft woman’s voice.

“Captain Nitta.”

“……”

Surprised, Nitta turned her head.

It is a familiar face of a woman.

Although she has a pretty face and a gentle smile, it is by no means a welcome face to Nitta.

“The manager is looking for you.”

the executive secretary’s secretary.

After she says those words, she immediately turns her body and leaves her editorial department.

For a moment, Nitta shrugged her shoulders and dropped her bag on the floor of her.

Beyond Boy Heroes (7)

Nishida’s studio.

– I want you to finish it within 5 weeks.

“Five weeks…”

Nishida murmured in a small voice.

She finished her story, still in a cold voice over the phone.

– I’m sorry. then.

Click.

When the phone hung up, Nishida stood still for a while with an expressionless face, then slowly put the handset down.

She puts the phone down and leans her back against her back.

She came back with a request to be number one in 5 weeks, and she said she wanted to quit in 5 weeks. It was a call from the person in charge of unilaterally ending the contract, but nonetheless, I was not impressed.

After all, after five weeks of success, I was planning to find a suitable magazine and move the serialization site.

However, I couldn’t have guessed that it would collapse like this, and although it was a rather absurd result, it wasn’t to the extent that I couldn’t understand it.

Still, after seeing the comic books that Otake put together and sent, he accepted his own results.

It was not unreasonable that these cartoons were the only ones in their ranking.

I just feel like I’m falling into the abyss.

Anyway, since when?

Drawing manga is no longer fun.

It seems so old that I can’t remember.

No, I wonder if it was fun.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

One day, when I suddenly looked back, I gained more popularity than I expected, and I made enough money to overflow.

But, somehow, thanks to that, I lost my passion anyway.

12 years since her debut.

Since I started drawing comics properly, I have only drawn one ‘Psychic Zone’.

Esper Zone is a worldview that he has created since middle school. And during the study group, he made it into a manga, and it caught the eye of the editors of Weekly Fire, and eventually became his debut film as it was.

And that career has continued to this day.

It is the cartoonist Esper John that contains everything from his own comics career.

The manga gained explosive popularity after being serialized.

Because of his handsome protagonist, he was popular with female readers as well.

Thanks to this, he received countless fan letters and gifts.

Everything went smoothly, and the world seemed ridiculous.

Then, at some point, he began to think that he had to finish the story.

He’s done everything he wants to tell, so of course he’s starting to keep in mind that it’s the end.

But, maybe it’s because it’s so popular.

His thoughts of quitting did not come true.

He began to persuade him that the publishing house should do more serialization.

So he forcibly increased his episodes.

As a result, holes began to form in the story.

Those things piled up one by one, and the number of copies sold gradually began to drop.

He tried to finish the series again.

But this time, the publisher did not let him go.

He missed twice when he was supposed to finish the series, and everything became a nuisance.

As he was forced to extend it, the story itself lost its power.

As a result, from time to time, I had to take a break from serialization.

After being labeled as an irregular serialization, more days off were counted.

Thanks to this, it became difficult to maintain the fish, and I was forced to serialize, changing people, except for two people.

Still, it was a popular work, so a lot of money was coming in.

Then, I got a call from an unnamed publisher.

He wondered if something new might be a breakthrough for him. And he honestly didn’t think it was a problem to be number one in a place like this.

But in the end it turned out like this.

“…that doesn’t make sense.”

laughter comes out

“Everyone is off work.”

The fishermen who had been waiting for a drawing since yesterday got up from their seats. Then, he immediately grabs his bag, says hello, and leaves the studio.

Nishida, who had been silently watching the scene, sat alone in the studio for a while, looking out the window and thinking.

cloudy weather.

Little by little it is snowing.

However, something caught Nishida’s gaze.

A man standing in front of a shop across the road from the window.

He is staring at himself with an umbrella on.

This is Otake.

He looked closely at the figure with a cigarette in his mouth.

But Otake seems to be saying something to him. Seeing people passing by look back.

Druck.

I opened the window.

hey hey.

Cold wind and snow blow into the firebox.

Look out the window and listen. But I couldn’t hear him either because of the street or because of the noise outside.

It’s funny to see him keep yelling with an angry face.

He’s a guy who’s never had that kind of expression on himself.

He shouted at Otake except for the cigarette he had bitten.

“What are you saying! If you want to swear, do it close!”

“……”

“I can’t hear you!”

Then Otake crosses the road.

He’s usually an annoyingly disciplined guy, and despite snowing, he’s trespassing.

“Crazy bastard! Cross the crossing!”

He screams so but he doesn’t hear it at all, he just comes across the road. Of course, there aren’t many cars around, so it doesn’t seem like a big problem, but it’s the first time I’ve seen something like that, so it’s ridiculous and I laugh out loud.

And Otake, who had come to the second floor studio window, shouted.

“Are you going to end it like this?”

“Weren’t you swearing?”

“Yes? Cursing?”

Otake’s expression is absurd.

“no.”

“……”

As Nishida smiled, Otake looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Then Nishida spoke to Otake like that.

“What kind of Romeo are you? Look around.”

As Otake looked around, people on the street looked at the two of them in turn, chattering.

Because of that, Otake’s face turned red.

“Hey, don’t shout on the street and come up. And if you have a swear word or anything you want to say, do it in front of me. Don’t let me get people’s attention too.”

Otake’s expression brightened at those words, and he replied loudly.

“Yeah!”

Then he ran straight into the alley.

Nishida looked down at him and muttered his cigarette to his lips again.

“Yeah, maybe thanks to you we’ll find a way.”

***

“Damn, how much money I forgot because of that bastard?

The managing director shouted, and the director, with a cigarette in his mouth, lit him with a lighter, said.

“Calm down. Executive Director. It’s because he’s not as skilled as expected.”

“Didn’t I say that there were more than 30 books and the total number of copies sold exceeded 13 million? Is this not a scam?”

“No. The information is correct.”

“But why? Why can’t even top-tier magazine cartoonists win?”

The director’s brow frowns slightly when he says that the publishing house he runs, and the boys’ magazine, which is no different from the main in comics, is a third-rate magazine.

But he soon corrected his expression and smiled.

“These days, some works, including Samsara, are well-known and popular works. Perhaps it was not easy for an artist like that.”

“It’s true. What is 5th place, 5th place. If it’s 2nd place, how can you expect it, if it’s 5th place, it’s over.”

“However, the one you asked to end with the termination of the contract was a little…”

“Hey, are you saying there’s a problem with my decision now?”

“Oh, no. It can be. But if there is a better way…”

“Okay. I don’t need him anymore, so he’ll just hit me.”

The director, who saw that, clicked his tongue inwardly.

How could he be so stupid without even thinking about it?

Slowly, I was starting to think that maybe I didn’t line up well.

Although the manager sometimes does stupid things, he is still the boss’s brother-in-law.

The gauze tends to be crab, and the arms are bent inward.

So, he thought that it would be good for the future to be attached to him, even if he was a manager who was often scolded by his boss.

But looking at what he was doing recently, he was regretting his judgment.

Most of the things they do have nothing to do with the development of the company, or rather cause trouble. He had only one intention of succeeding in the president’s footsteps and owning the company.

Of course, internal politics is the case, but now is an important time when the company is growing. Still, continuing to make stupid decisions in these important positions puts the company at risk.

Looking into the future is never a good thing.

When such a managing director brought in Nishida, a popular writer, there was still a glimmer of hope.
