1983 Past Life Manga King

Seonhee nodded her head at that.

“By the way, I. If possible, I would like Tengen-sensei to do the same. How is it?”

“Me too? I wasn’t going to sign. Do I have to?”

“There, that. I want the people who are visiting now to get the teacher’s autograph as well.”

“People say they have to go past 12 noon.”

“They are not ordinary people, they are cartoonists and teachers. About 10 teachers from Boys Jump and Boys Magazine came to visit.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah?”

“I was surprised too. how do you know me Are you a fan of my manga? haha.”

“Yes. I’ve read all the Pineapple Army.”

“All?”

Naoki Urasawa looks at me with strange eyes.

Oh man, Pineapple Army is a manga that hasn’t been completed yet, but it’s a mistake.

Do you want to think that I’m just a person who says I’m a fan?

“Even the part that is being serialized.”

“Ah.”

“The subject matter was interesting. The setting is to give the client survival training.”

It was then that he seemed to admit that he had seen it.

Anyway, Pineapple Army will affect Master Kitten later.

Of course, it’s not my original story.

But what is the atmosphere around you?

I think it’s because I only talked to Urasawa Naoki. Haha, it is true that his position is a little behind compared to these cartoonists.

A man who seemed to be in charge of Naoki Urasawa dragged him roughly.

“Sleep, sir. Come on.”

“I see. Okay.”

Saying that, he looks back at me and smiles.

“Are you going to sign it?”

“of course. I should get it too.”

“My signature? haha.”

He laughed out loud and nodded his head.

“It would be 100 times more valuable. Well, if you want, you should do 100 or more.”

“Ah, sorry. Teacher.”

Saying that, he pulled him back again.

“Ah, let’s take it easy. My arm will fall off.”

“Please, don’t be too bouncy. I am really going to die because of you.”

“Then no. haha.”

“Please sign before you go.”

“Really? I thought it was a joke.”

“I’m not the kind of person who jokes about that.”

“Ah. Also.”

He straight away takes a notebook out of his bag and hands it to him, and he smiles and scribbles his autograph with a curious expression on his face.

I also drew the character of Pineapple Army in a small way.

“I plan to draw a sports manga soon, so please check it out.”

“of course. If you are a teacher, this work will be a huge hit.”

“Wow, thank you for the words. Oh, and me too.”

“Yeah. I have to do it.”

He presented the Samsara monograph.

After signing autographs in a hurry, I hand them over to Seon-hee, and they sign them with a mechanical movement.

“Wow, your moves are amazing.”

When Seon-hee drew autographs and illustrations, she said with admiration.

As soon as they exchanged autographs, Naoki Urasawa hurriedly greeted us and dragged him away.

As he walked away, he waved his hand to greet him.

“I am now friends with the teacher. See you again next time.”

“Yeah. Ok.”

The person in charge who dragged him continues to say hello and apologize. To the surrounding cartoonists and editors.

Well, somehow, you are a much more pleasant person than I thought. Naoki Urasawa.

I watched the video a few times on the internet in the future, but I had that kind of personality. Maybe it was different when I was younger.

Anyway, after he disappears, the surroundings become noisy again.

“By the way, Teacher Sunny is very quiet today.”

“You heard it before. You say you hide your face a lot.”

“Hey, what’s the fun with older guys like us?”

“It is.”

“By the way, Mr. Tengen is fluent in Japanese. Somehow I thought it didn’t feel like a translation. Perhaps the current Zainichi Joseon….”

“no. Me and Sunny live in Korea. It was my first time coming to Japan after I started serializing.”

“Oh, you are.”

It’s good that there are so many cartoonists I like, but it’s a little crazy to have them all gathered together like this. And there are people who are not polite.

Seeing this, I think it might be better to just meet a cartoonist through their work.

Anyway, it was fun to have a short conversation with famous people in the comics field.

Then I looked at the time, and it was opening time after a while, so I hurriedly took a seat and sat down.

Because they wanted autographs, they couldn’t do it without knowing it.

They bought books and novels from a nearby table, and immediately gathered around Seon-hee and me. There were not only cartoonists but also editors.

“If possible, I would like you to write at least one word next to your signature.”

“Yeah. Okay. Dear Hojo-sensei, I am truly honored.”

So I started signing an unplanned autograph.

First message about the future (1)

Yesterday’s autograph session was quite interesting.
