1983 Past Life Manga King

It’s strangely because of the poor drawing skills compared to the story.

Normally, with a story and atmosphere like this, it would be normal to follow the drawings to some extent.

In the future, I couldn’t draw cartoons in Korea, including One Punch Man, but there were quite a few good internet cartoonists with high-level stories, atmosphere, and directing skills.

So it’s not like it doesn’t exist at all.

Are you that kind of person?

“Still, the story is a bit of a waste.”

– Still, I personally felt sorry for that, so I tried to connect with a cartoonist who would take charge of the drawing, but he refused.

“Ok? It seems that he is in a position to unconditionally make his own paintings.”

– I don’t know the details, but it’s probably like that.

Well, surprisingly, there are not many rookies like this.

For anyone with a goal as a cartoonist, it’s not uncommon for someone to make the early decision to remain only as a story writer.

When I was also in that dream, it was hard for me to accept that I didn’t have a talent for drawing.

Anyway, it’s a matter for you to decide.

It’s a disappointing piece, but I don’t need to worry about it.

Anyway, after hanging up the phone with Jiro, the twins came into the studio after school.

They are busy these days. As the second year is coming to an end, the school seems to be preparing for the entrance exam in earnest.

Seon-hee, there is nothing to worry about, but Kyung-hee seems to be busy with her studies. Even so, he does not neglect to prepare the story of a man who is sincere. Because I have a dream of becoming a story writer in the future.

In the case of Seon-hee, nothing in particular has changed in her life.

Even though I’m into manga like that, my grades are always at the top.

As an older brother, I have a desire to go to a good university, but I think going to the place I want is my priority. Of course, my family thinks so too.

Come to think of it, the twins who were in middle school will be in high school next year.

I didn’t even know the time was passing because I was so focused on the manga.

“brother.”

“······uh? What?”

“this.”

Seon-hee is holding out a manuscript in front of me as I approached when I was immersed in distractions.

“What is this?”

“Yesterday, Samsara Conti, I saw that and drew a new drawing.”

“uh? What? Have you already worked on it?”

The continuity was handed over late yesterday, but it seems that it was completed at night.

Well, drawing is originally fast, and I have been deforming a lot of drawings these days, so it’s not an instant.

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

However, as soon as I saw the drawing that Seon-hee brought out, I was surprised.

This is because the feeling of the painting is completely different.

No, the drawing has not changed from the original one, but the thickness of the pencil line has a different feel to it.

I used to draw with a 2B pencil before, but the pencil I used for drawing now is much thicker than the 4B pencil. It feels like 8B.

“Is that an 8B pencil?”

“Huh. I drew it with a pencil that a Japanese uncle gave me before.”

Although Jiro often brings tools or sends them by parcel, most of them rarely use them. He said he didn’t like it because he wasn’t used to the pen he used to use, but why did he use a thick pencil this time?

Thinking like that, I turn the page…

uh? Not only did the pencil line get thicker, but the direction of the storyline also changed considerably.

I feel like drawing with thicker lines naturally made the drawing simpler.

If there were 10 lines used in the same picture before, now it looks like there are about 6-7 lines.

Nevertheless, there is a sense of stability to the extent that the quality has improved compared to before.

The thicker lines better express the sense of action and intensity.

I didn’t know it before, but compared to this drawing, the picture I drew before seems clumsy.

Seonhee has grown again.

It feels like he is constantly growing step by step.

“·················ogue.”

“Strange?”

“no. OK. definitely better But why did you suddenly think of changing the picture?”

“That yesterday.”

“Huh? What?”

“Villain X.”

“·················ogue.”

Did you see that and change the picture?

No, how the heck can you think of such a change by looking at such a picture?

Now, it is growing to a level that is difficult for me to understand as much as in the picture.

Still, I was curious and asked.

“I don’t know. where it was affected. Can you explain?”

“······Well.”

Seonhee fidgets with her chin and falls into thoughts. Then he opens his mouth to explain something, then closes it again, then opens it again and then closes it again.

Then he frowned and fell into trouble.

Seeing Seon-hee like that, I smiled and said.

“No, all right, all right. Don’t do it if it’s hard to explain. Why are you trying so hard?”

“·················ogue.”

Seon-hee is a child who is more accustomed to drawing than to explain with her mouth.

It is difficult to expect too much from such a child.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

I think it’s better for me to just think for myself.

Anyway, I took my eyes off Seon-hee and started looking at the rest of the pages.

Compared to the directing shown in the continuity, it was expressed in a much better way. Now, the directing of the continuity has reached a point where it is just a reference and does not draw as it is.

by the way······.

there is a problem.

How to describe this drawing drawn in pencil with a pen.

While Mi-Ja Jeong, who was originally in charge of Samsara’s pen line, is independent, it feels too heavy for Park Soo-mi to handle. If you apply a clumsy pen line, it becomes difficult to capture half of the feeling of the drawing.

However, Seon-hee’s drawing herself is also a problem.

If you look at the pen line alone, Seon-hee’s skill is a bit weak. Although I draw faster than Esh, who is a veteran of the pen line, it is not enough to save it.

Of course, I have no intention of making a pen line.

Then there is only one person left…

My eyes focused on the work and turned to Silver.

If it were that person, I wondered if I could properly bring this picture to life…

“Why?”

It’s a surprise.

When he asked without raising his head if he felt my gaze, I was startled.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“uh. Request.”

“Request?”

“uh.”

Then Silver raises his head and looks at me.

“What?”

I immediately went to Silver’s seat with the manuscript. And then he threw it out.

“This is a new drawing of Samsara drawn by Seon-hee. Take a look.”

“···········?”

He looked at me with a curious expression and immediately looked at the drawing. And soon it turned into curious eyes.

He turns the last page one by one and looks at me.

“Certainly, it’s a fun drawing. I think I know what you want.”

“right?”

“okay.”

Silver nodded his head and thought for a moment, then looked at me and said,

“Yeah, I have to do this.”

But the problem remains.

If Silver takes on the role of Samsara, the Dark Princess will be drawn in a similar way, so she will have to deal with it.

So what about Fasiencia?

In fact, in the case of Pasiencia, the pen line is quite difficult.

Of course, a little less than the changed Samsara.

But as if he had noticed my thoughts, Silver shook his head from side to side and opened his mouth.

“Paciencia should now be taken over by Somi.”

“Am I?”

Park So-mi, who had been paying attention to our conversation before, got up from her seat and approached us.

And immediately, when he sees Samsara’s new manuscript, he winces.

“uh?”

“Then can you handle this?”

“If it were something like this, it would be difficult.”

Park Soo-mi scratches her head and smiles awkwardly.

I don’t know if it’s an existing samsara, but if it’s a picture that has changed so much, it’s probably a burden.

“Pasiencia is also difficult.”

“That’s what I teach. And if it’s difficult, I can help you a little. What do you think?”

“Then you should do it. By the way, you must have a deep understanding of Fasiencia, isn’t it too easy to give it up?”

“No, it’s okay if it’s Samsara.”

“what? So you were still aiming for Samsara?”

“·················ogue.”

“Oh hey, after all, her Mija older sister used to be in charge, so she was still.”

At that, Silver coughed in vain and avoided his gaze.

I didn’t know that either.

“It is not. you just saw it Yunhwan also said that I had no choice but to draw. I can’t help it, so I’m just taking it in.”

“Why are you talking while avoiding my eyes?”

“Great.”

* * *

When Samsara, transformed into a new figure, came out, the ripple effect was stronger than expected.

Existing fans even wrote the expression ‘second upgrade’ and were enthusiastic about Samsara’s change.

“Is this a cartoon drawn by Sunny?”

“The shadows are the same. If you see that the feel of the pen line has changed, wouldn’t it be that the fisheye has changed?”

“Wow, the drawings were great before, but now they are creepy. I don’t think the pace of development is human.”

“I’m also a painter, but because of the directing, I get chills. Is this what graceful horror feels like?”

“Elegant horror? I thought I was stylish.”

“It’s really Sunny. Now the paintings are so great, I left Japan.”

“Are you going to call me a genius for nothing? It is absolutely ridiculous that Samsara still sells around 500,000 copies per volume.”

When the people of the Manga Research Society gathered, all they talked about was Samsara.

Such a reaction was also common among cartoonists.

In particular, the younger generation, who started cartoonist activities in the 1980s, showed a strong tendency to do so.

Because Samsara has always been one of the works used as a textbook for cartoonists.

Writers influenced by Akira of Otomo appeared in large numbers, and at the same time, writers influenced by Samsara began to appear in large numbers.

And they were enthusiastic about the newly changed Samsara.

* * *

Jiro’s excited voice is heard through the phone.

– Book sales are on the rise again.

I heard a few days ago that Samsara, which has a new feel, has a better response than I thought, but it seems to be having an effect on book sales.

– I have also heard from the publishers that several large bookstores are out of stock.

“Ok?”

– Yeah. Currently, only one volume is close to 600,000 copies. In such an atmosphere, it is likely to exceed 700,000 copies.

“700,000 copies?”

– Yeah. Now, Samsara continues to break the Mitzdashoten monograph sales record. And because of the samsara effect, the issuance of boy heroes is also increasing. I was expecting a good response from the new Samsara, but I didn’t expect it to be this much.

I didn’t know that either.

– There are rumors that Mitsuda Shoten may be the first to reach the high of 1 million copies per volume.

“A million copies?”

brother’s dream (1)

Jiro’s words of 1 million copies brought his mind to life.

Of course, I also know from the beginning that Samsa is receiving a lot of attention from amateur groups interested in comics, such as the Manga Research Society, and I know well that it gets good reviews from cartoonists as well.

However, he is also well aware that there is a limit to appealing to the public with his unique, minor sensibility.

So, when I heard that the number of copies exceeded 300,000, I thought it was more successful than expected, and I expected that it might have almost reached its limit.

However, through an unexpected collaboration with Dragon Ball, he gained momentum again and surpassed 500,000 copies, and sales began to increase again by changing the picture and atmosphere.

And now, it has reached the point of passing 700,000 copies.

Besides, Jiro is talking about 1 million copies.

It’s not just the first one that shoots 1 million copies, but an average of 1 million copies.

When I was a simple fanatic, there were quite a lot of works with over 1 million copies per volume, and that was also not very special.

But now it’s 1985.

It is not very common for works that exceed 1 million copies, and if the subject is my work, the meaning is inevitably different.

Up until now, I’ve been living my life only as someone else’s story, but hearing that my work might sell for 1 million copies is thrilling enough to raise chicken breasts.

– Because of Samsara’s promotion like this, the rankings fluctuate more than usual to see if other works are also affected. Thanks to that, the editorial department is also in a good mood recently.

Ji-ro also praises him until his lips are dry to see if he is in a good mood.
