1983 Past Life Manga King

“That’s when it didn’t explode. And even in a safe system, humans make mistakes.”

“·········Then, what will happen?”

“I don’t know the details, but the neighborhood was probably swamped.”

I don’t know the details, but I’ve heard that the damage to Chernobyl was huge. And Silver seems to be aware of the dangers of nuclear power plants to some extent.

“It’s far away, so the damage might be small for us. But I can’t say it doesn’t have any effect.”

“Then what?”

“What can we do? I just have to watch.”

Silver is aware of the seriousness of the situation, and he talks about what he knows.

I’m from the future, so I know this has happened. I am well aware that a considerable number of people have died and been damaged by radiation.

And something came to mind at the same time.

Fukushima.

A nuclear power plant located there exploded in the 2011 earthquake.

Because of that, there were many victims, and the area was completely closed.

Nevertheless, the Japanese government did not acknowledge that fact and continued to export goods from the region to Korea.

Anyway, since then, Japan has become a strange place, and I have a bitter memory.

Whatever the case, I am well aware that nuclear power plants are in danger because of the incident.

The next morning, my mind was still filled with thoughts of Chernobyl and Fukushima.

It is not now, but it is a big event that will happen in the future.

I don’t know if this happened as far away as Chernobyl, but it happened in Japan near me.

Korea is bound to be affected as well.

If so, maybe we should stop this case.

But on the other hand, I wonder if I can intervene in this kind of thing.

Because I’m just an ordinary manga fanatic.

Of course, I know that it is unreasonable to call myself an ordinary fanatic now.

He is a well-known manga story writer who has already made several hits.

And although it’s still a thing of the future, there is also a comic book called Copelion, which will come out in 2008. Although the nuclear explosion in the background of the work was in 2016, it was expressed quite well.

The problem was that this cartoon came out, but in the end the nuclear explosion could not be stopped.

However, since there were many disaster-related cartoons in the future, perhaps the impact was not great. In addition, the fact that the characters are high school girls in uniforms from the Ground Self-Defense Force with anti-radiation antibodies makes it seem more unrealistic.

If so, maybe we need a more realistic and realistic work in the end.

No, you don’t even need to configure it.

In fact, since you have seen some of what Japan was like at the time, you can proceed with the story based on that. Of course, the plan is only one book.

If I could raise awareness with this, I think that would be enough.

It’s a distant future even as of now that hasn’t happened yet, but there’s no guarantee that it can be prevented.

Anyway, all I can do is do what I can.

Once I made up my mind, I started thinking about the story.

In the meantime, Jiro has received a lot of pictures of cities around Japan, so I made a setting for a new city based on it.

He did not mention Fukushima, but anyway, the basic background is a large earthquake, which caused one of the nuclear power plants located on the coastline to explode, causing radioactive leakage.

After the nuclear power plant explosion, the government is focused on reducing the facts and deceiving the people through broadcasting. Politicians are pursuing policies that do not care whether the country is destroyed or not, solely because of their desire to seize power.

The actual background is also set in 2011.

This is almost identical to the real thing.

With this in the background, the story begins.

The story of a young couple who still live as if nothing happened.

She was pregnant, but for some reason the child in her belly was stillborn, and in the end, even the woman suffers from trouble for unknown reasons.

She went to the hospital and had an examination, but it was decided that it was not a big deal, so she was relieved. But in the end, her wife also dies, and the man left alone realizes that something is wrong.

So, he fights the government alone, and the story begins when he finds out about a group that fights against such a government.

After work, in the evening.

Based on what I had envisioned so far, I made a continuity with Seonhee.

Seon-hee conceived a city by combining photos, and made separate sketches for the parts destroyed by the earthquake by region.

When I laid out the story I had envisioned based on it, I took notes and started working on the storyline.

“This is the countryside outside the city where the protagonist lives.”

He said while tapping an area on the map that Seon-hee drew.

Then Seon-hee nodded her head and drew the background in the story.

It is a typical Japanese background, but because it is the future, I drew it more like the future than the actual future by adding imagination. Of course, while preserving the feeling of the countryside.

At this time, the cyberpunk-style future was already popular due to the influence of Blade Runner, so it is necessary to make it the background of the future that the reader expects.

Being too realistic is not always good.

But while I was talking about the story, Seon-hee’s expression changed strangely. This story is even more so after knowing that it is not focused on interest as it has been in the past.

While taking notes, Seonhee continued to glance at me.

“Why?”

“How will this story end?”

I’ve never been curious about the conclusion of a story before, which is surprising.

“What power can an individual have against the government? You just have to resist and it will end unhappily.”

“Unhappiness?”

Seon-hee’s pupils visibly shake.

Still, I’ve heard that the main character’s wife gave birth to her child stillborn, suffered from anxiety and even died.

“Can’t we have a happy ending?”

“I want to, but I want to make this a more realistic story.”

“…Okay.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

He still nods his head with a sad expression on his face.

After talking about her new work for a while, Seon-hee finished her memo when it was over.

At that time, Kyunghee’s visit was opened to her.

I’ve been busy with my exams in a few days, but these days I’m sober.

Then Kyung-hee approached us in the living room, and she asked with a curious expression.

“uh? Are you preparing a new one?”

“okay.”

“What is it, what is it? Talk to me.”

“I’m going to start working on the story tomorrow, so it will be over soon.”

“soon? Why? Is it short this time?”

“One volume.”

“Is it that short?”

“It’s a little too much for a feature film.”

At that, Kyunghee tilted her head.

“Why?”

“I’ll see you later when I’m done.”

“Okay. I look forward to it.”

Having said that, he went into the kitchen.

“Are you going to eat another snack late at night?”

“I feel like my head is not spinning because I am hungry. Seon-hee, are you going to eat too?”

Seon-hee nodded her head vigorously in response to Kyung-hee’s question.

“Huh.”

Seon-hee also clears her depressed expression and brightens up quickly.

Jiro said in a serious tone.

– Now Japan is noisy.

“Ok?”

– Yeah. Probably because there are still many people who have memories of the past wars.

I’m not talking about it, but it’s probably about Hiroshima or Nagasaki after all.

Haha, in the present age, it happened about 40 years ago, so many older people will remember it directly.

– News continues to report on the Chernobyl accident. The government seems to be asking the Soviet Union to properly disclose the radiation damage caused by this incident and the figures.

“·················ogue.”

This part is kind of funny, as I remember Japan when I was living.

The Japanese government at that time was trying to hide this.

– Oh. Because of the fact that Samsara is over, the editorial department is now receiving a lot of calls and postcards from readers. Most of the responses are asking for more serialization.

“i See.”

– But is it really a perfect ending?

“I do not know. The ending story ended strangely.”

– Strange?

“It’s an ending with Seon-hee’s thoughts, but it’s a bit vague to say it’s a complete ending. But it’s not that bad either.”

– There’s hope.

“I’m not quite sure yet, but it might be.”

– That’s nice.

Saying that, Jiro laughed.

He then went on to say that something interesting had happened recently, and also talked about the protests of fans in front of the monthly Gossip magazine building.

– That’s why other magazines are buying too much. Because the reaction from the fans was too intense. Thanks to this, it became easier for us to work too.

“That’s nice to me. Still, I felt a bit uncomfortable because the magazine pushed me so blatantly.”

– That does not represent the whole of Japan. Those magazines only know how to write provocative articles. It is the same as the sports newspapers that come out these days.

The problem is that there are a lot of people who see such provocative articles and really think that way.

Anyway, after having a miscellaneous conversation, I brought up the story of this new work.

“The new storyline is almost finished, do you have any plans to visit Korea?”

– Oh, then, instead of having Kawada do it, you should go directly. I have to go to the printing factory tomorrow, so I will go to Korea the day after tomorrow.

“Yeah. Then I’ll see you then.”

– Yeah. Okay.

The next day, Kyung-hee, who came back from school, looked back at me while reading the new story.

But this guy is in tears and runny nose, his face is a mess.

“Oppa, I am so sorry for such a sad story. don’t you?”

Seonhee nodded her head at that.

“sad.”

“Is not it?”

Saying so, he sucked in his nose and opened his mouth again.

“To be this sad from the start, I wasn’t even prepared.”

“You can prepare from now on.”

“Is there still more sad content left?”

“Because it’s not a pleasant story.”

At my words, Kyung Hee’s expression became even more crying.

“Brother, too much!”

First message about the future (4)

As Kyunghee was trembling and shed tears, the fishermen gathered together one by one, wondering if they were curious.

“why? Is the new work a melodrama?”

At Park So-mi’s question, Kyung-hee wiped her runny nose and shook her head vigorously.

“no. There is no way you have such feelings.”

what the heck you’re doing too much

Even so, it’s too blatant.

“Ah.”

In the end, Park So-mi’s reaction made me cry.

“No, I’m not doing it too much. Put people in front of you.”

“Oh, I don’t mean that.”

Nope.

It’s just a face that reveals the truth.

Ah, everyone thought that melodrama was an impossible genre for my sensibility. It’s kind of sad

I keep making excuses that it’s not Park So-mi, whether she read my expression like that.

But it’s already too late!

Anyway, Kyunghee is completely immersed in the story even though the fishermen have gathered around her. However, as time passed, Kyunghee’s eyes grew red and bloodshot. And Kyung-hee, who had been looking down at the continuity notes for a while to see if they had read them all, put them down on the table and got up from her seat.

He has a very angry face, even though he has tears in his eyes.

“What is it, it ends like this without dreams or hopes?”

“okay.”

“Can’t you find a way to stop it?”

“Can’t find it.”

“Not at all?”

“no.”

Tears welled up at my answer, he grabbed my arm and just started shaking.

Ah, I’m going to hurt my neck.

“It’s the future. The future is 25 years from now, and there is no way out? Even if you have the technology to go to Mars? What kind of future is this!”

“What are you talking about? Where is the content in the continuity?”

“I saw it in a science book. In the next two to three decades, Mars will be inhabited by humans. How I dreamed of traveling to Mars later.”

“·················ogue.”

I do, but the problem is that it’s a robot, not a human.

And the future is still unconfirmed, but I have very firm beliefs.

And even if it is possible, can you travel as you please?

uhh
