1983 Past Life Manga King

He answered Kido’s question in a dying voice.

“·········Yes, what is it?”

“You now think that Sunny asked for this.”

“I’m probably close with Toriyama-sensei, isn’t it?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Yeah?”

“I didn’t expect such stupid words to come out of your mouth. I’m disappointed.”

Tanaka was taken aback and surprised at that.

Maybe it was because of Kido’s shouting, but when she thinks about it, she quickly realizes that it was a bit of a forced word.

Because she never thought that Samsara would be billed for another manga. However, the gap between the real man and Samsara was so wide that he came up with such a nonsensical idea.

Immediately Tanaka bowed her head to her Kido.

“I’m sorry, sir.”

“no, that’s fine. It’s all my fault. Since they only stayed in second place, everyone must have been thinking so impatiently. I have nothing to say.”

“No, sir.”

“No, it’s my fault.”

“Teacher.”

That was then.

“Why don’t you stop doing that kind of sect and now Kido-sensei finds a more realistic way?”

It was an unexpected guest appearance.

“I’m Nishida Yuki from Esper Zone.”

Kido’s wife kindly explains when he came.

“There you go, madam. You don’t have to explain it in too much detail.”

“Ah yes. It’s been a while since I’ve appeared, so I’m afraid I forgot my name.”

“There, honey. I haven’t forgotten I am not stupid.”

“Me too.”

“Ho-ho, I’m sorry. just in case Anyway, then I’ll leave my seat for a while, so let’s talk.”

Saying that, he disappears towards the living room.

Seeing that, Nishida smiled lightly.

“I feel it every time I come, but your wife is really fun.”

“You feel it every time I see you, but it’s really awkward.”

“······Yeah?”

“By the way, what else did you just say? Is it realistic?”

“·················ogue.”

After taking a deep breath for a while, Nishida opened her mouth.

“It’s not that Kido doesn’t want to win first place, and no one has decided on it, but he seems to think that fighting alone is fair.”

“Isn’t that obvious? It’s my cartoon, so I should draw it with my own strength.”

At Kido’s words, Nishida blew her nose.

“I’m not drawing manga by myself, and I’m not saying that. The same goes for movies and plays. No one thinks that the work has to be made by one person and that it is right. But I don’t think there’s any need to think that you have to do the work alone.”

“So, what do you want to say?”

“It means that we can work together.”

“What? Are you going to do it like Dragon Ball?”

Saying that, Kido looked at Nishida with a puzzled expression.

“At first, it was difficult for you and I to reconcile our worldview. What are you talking about? If your character and mine are in the same place, the sense of disparity is too great.”

“No, not that.”

“No? So what are we going to do?”

“On the other hand, as an event, we want to draw each other’s cartoons.”

At that, Kido looked at him in confusion.

“Hey, are you sick? Why all of a sudden, it’s creepy.”

It was a way that Nishida, who is usually proud of his manga, would never have thought of.

“I am serious. If you don’t do this, you won’t be able to defeat Samsara forever.”

Kido’s eyes widened at Nishida’s words.

“···································································!

Even if it wasn’t Nishida’s words, Kido was also thinking about it a lot.

The present Samsara has gone too far.

It’s because I’ve gone way beyond the level of Bevil in Boy Heroes.

However, he never gave up on that. He, who had already fallen into the abyss, has not been resurrected as a man of sincerity. Compared to that, this is not a big deal.

However, it was an undeniable fact that his thirst for number one was weaker than before.

Kido opened his mouth and spoke in a quiet voice.

“Look, Nishida.”

“·················ogue.”

“Is your goal in life the number one boy hero?”

After being silent for a while, Nishida opened his mouth.

“…but it’s not like that.”

“Then why are you so hung up on the number one boy hero?”

“What are you talking about now? It’s only natural because it’s a magazine that I serialize in. Did Kido-sensei give up on a sincere man?”

At that, Kido shook his head.

“No, that’s not it.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Then why are you talking like that? Are you hungry now?”

“The ship was already called.”

“Don’t play with words. Aren’t you satisfied with just being in second place?”

The smile disappeared from Kido’s face at those words. And then she said in a cold voice.

“Am I not ashamed of myself to aim for first place with such a shallow number?”

“I don’t think it’s a shallow number.”

“okay? Do you really think so?”

“·················ogue.”

As Nishida slightly avoided his gaze, Kido’s expression, which had hardened just then, opened up.

“It’s good to have a passion for manga, but that’s not the case. And to be honest, I’m not an opponent to win with such a clumsy event. Do you agree with me?”

At that, Nishida kept her mouth shut.

Because he himself knows that Kido wasn’t wrong.

I just don’t like admitting Kido’s words.

Kido smirked, knowing Nishida’s feelings, and said it again.

“Honestly, looking at Samsara these days, my field of vision is a little wider than before.”

“Sight?”

“Now that you think boy heroes are inferior compared to other famous magazines, you are saying that you are going to win the top spot here and compete with other magazines.”

“·················ogue.”

This is also not wrong.

“But with a little thought, there is a better way.”

“A good way……, what is it?”

“I’m just following Samsara as it is now. Keep going.”

At those words, Nishida’s brow furrowed.

“Yeah? What does that mean? Then you’ll be far away forever, right?”

“What do you think Samsara’s current position is?”

“What do you mean all of a sudden? location.”

“If you compare popular manga like Samsara to famous magazines. For example, if it’s the most popular boy jump right now.”

After thinking for a moment, Nishida carefully opened her mouth.

“Considering the number of copies sold, wouldn’t it be in the mid-low ranks?”

“Yeah, if you only count the number of copies sold. But, how does it compare to works that are actually in the middle or lower tier of Boy Jump?”

“Yeah…”

Nishida muffled her words

Because I think it is difficult to answer easily.

Shueisha’s Shonen Jump is currently ranked first in Japan’s unrivaled manga magazine rankings.

Other magazines are also heating up with the news that the weekly sales reached 4 million copies a while ago, but the current Shonen Jump was filled with the best writers, and it was an atmosphere that never looked like it would collapse.

Dragon Ball and Fist of the North are already being serialized in Captain Tsubasa, Orange Road, Muscle Man, Eun-ah Legend Weed, and even the latest ‘City Hunter’ by Tsukasa Hojo, who recently finished Cat’s Eye. Because I felt like I was there.

In such a place, even if some manga starts to be serialized, it will be pushed out of the rankings in no time and disappear without a sound.

But, what about Samsara?

In terms of sales alone, it is clearly not as good as those works. However, it is only the sales volume that comes from the magazine’s lack of ability.

If it was serialized in Shonen Jump, it is clear that the upper-middle class would be sufficient.

Nishida, who finally understood what Kido was saying, nodded his head and thought for a moment. Seeing that, Kido opened his mouth.

“I don’t know for sure, but maybe Samsara is superior? To be honest, even though it’s a nameless magazine like a boy hero, it’s selling quite a bit.”

“·················ogue.”

“Now, let’s think about it. Right now we’re competing in a race with a huge number of cars, like this. If so, then we’re just chasing a sports car that’s accelerating its incredible speed pace. Just chasing after this runaway car is going to be a far cry from the others.”

Nishida nodded his head involuntarily, thinking it was plausible when he heard it.

“But now, in this situation, do I need to overtake the car that is running in front of me?”

Nishida looked at Kido with a look that seemed to understand something at that moment.

“If that’s the case then…”

“okay. For now, it’s enough just to follow closely. No, of course, this is by no means easy. Right now, there are quite a few competitors in our magazine.”

“······i See.”

“It’s my opinion, but the day will come when Samsara or Sunny’s next work will definitely push away all of Shonen Jump’s works and become the best.”

“That’s what I agree with. That’s why I respect them.”

After much effort, Nishida agreed with Kido, and Tanaka, who had been watching only nearby, was startled.

It was only natural that Nishida, who had always been at the point of confrontation with Kido-sensei, eventually agreed to his words.

And soon she shed tears of emotion.

“Come on, let’s focus on what we can do to close the gap with Samsara while sticking to the basics for both you and me for now. And one day when Sunny is the best, we will be in a similar position.”

“Then, if you catch up with Mr. Sunny, then you will become the best.”

At that, Kido smirked.

“Yeah, right. But that is my story.”

“Yeah?”

“Since I’m in second place, the most likely thing is my country. It’s a pity, but even then, you’re only number three. So in order to defeat Sunny, you have to overcome me first. Of course, that will never happen.”

“… it’s ridiculous. After all, are you saying that only Ms. Kido can defeat Ms. Sunny?”

“That’s it, I understand.”

Saying so and laughing

Nishida had an absurd expression on her face, then grinned and then turned around.

“Kido-sensei, I think I wasted my time for nothing. Of course, there were also some words of sympathy. But again, I can’t accept the last words. To be honest, I didn’t think of anyone as a rival in Boy Heroes except Mr. Sunny.”

“Oh, right? Are you the same as me?”

“Let’s leave it alone.”

“uh? I haven’t finished talking yet.”

“Then stay healthy.”

“·······Hey, but listen to the story a little more.”

“I’ll give it to you.”

I was about to leave the studio right away, when Mrs. Kido came into the room with her tray, looked at her Nishida and smiled at her.

“Oh, are you leaving already?”

“Yeah. The pleasant conversation with Kido-sensei is over. Goodbye, mother-in-law.”

“Go and taste this.”

“no······.”

Nishida is about to refuse, but the visuals of her food she brought are not very good. And even the smell.

Then Tanaka, who was near her, approached her with her eyes wide open.

“Wow, this is a poke again.”

“It’s Tteokbokki.”

“I will enjoy this food!”

As Tanaka said so, as she tried to grab her fork, she panicked and took a step back involuntarily.

It was because he was startled by the unknown energy in Mrs. Kido’s eyes.

Soon her wife turned her gaze back to Nishida.

“I learned this in particular because I heard that Sunny’s favorite food, please try it once.”

“Ms. Sunny? So, is this Korean food?”

“of course.”

At that, Nishida approached her with a curious expression, grabbed her fork, and immediately dipped a piece of mochi covered in red sauce and put it in her mouth.

And she was startled by the spiciness. However, the taste is also novel and quite addictive.

“This is delicious.”

“Oh, you must be very sweet, but you are eating well.”

“I want to eat more, is that okay?”

“of course. eat a lot. If you like it, I will take it with you when you go.”

“Thank you.”

Saying so, she stopped what she was about to go, and she sat down on the sofa.

Then her wife glances back at Kido, and he nods her head. Then he took a seat on the sofa and sat down.

“Now, shall we talk?”

At that moment, Nishida’s brow furrowed. But it is a pity that she turns around and ignores the food in front of her. It is true that this new food is delicious, but more importantly, it is a favorite of Mr. Sunny and her family.

After all, while you eat this, you have no choice but to listen to the talk of those talkative humans.

He puts the tteokbokki in his mouth and glances up at Kido’s wife.

She was still smiling brightly.
