1983 Past Life Manga King

The smell of ink and paper that can only be felt in a new book.

Soothes the body trembling with excitement.

In fact, although I have read this book a long time ago, it is very different because I bought it as a new book beyond time and space.

As I went home with the book in an envelope, I threw away all the rest of my thoughts and started thinking about a new story.

I mentioned it as a soccer cartoon, but I can’t think of what kind of story I’m going to write.

Of course, I do not think that Jeon Sang-gil has high expectations of us, so it is not a burden. But it cannot be written lightly.

After making story writing a profession at some point, it is unacceptable to just make a rough sketch.

How much I hated those kinds of works I had seen throughout my life as a fanatic. But I can’t do that.

However, plagiarizing someone else’s work as it is is not tolerated.

Now that I’ve confirmed that I can do it with my own strength, I don’t want to use it that way.

The worries continued as I got off the bus and walked home.

At the same time, children can be seen kicking soccer balls in an empty vacant lot in the neighborhood.

In the vacant lot where the messy briquettes and miscellaneous food waste are left unattended, the children are innocently rolling the ball and having fun.

I wonder if the smiles of children were always so bright no matter what era.

Just looking at him like that makes my heart feel warm.

I’ve been looking there for a while, and it was then.

“······uh? That cat.”

Just then, on one of the fences in the open space, I saw a white cat crouching and looking at me. Its peculiar bizarre eyes were evident. it’s the guy

Is it an illusion that the strange guy’s eyes feel more intense these days?

I was staring at him for a while, and then I felt my head swell. And all of a sudden, I felt darkness in front of my eyes.

“···········?”

For a moment, I hesitated without realizing it.

And soon he regained consciousness and made a bewildered expression on his face.

what just happened to me

anemia?

I’ve been eating well these days.

Ah, come to think of it, I remembered that I had a similar feeling when I ran into that guy before.

That guy.

There is definitely something.

Soon he turned his gaze to the side where the white cat was crouching, and he was already gone.

“·················ogue.”

Did it just pop out again?

He stared at the wall where he had disappeared for a moment, and then immediately looked away from it. And as I was about to head back home, something suddenly crossed my mind.

“······uh?”

The 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup drove Korea into a crucible of enthusiasm.

Ji-Sung Park, who became a soccer star at the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup.

The fact that he has flat feet is a famous story.

So he thought that he wanted to build a story based on that flat foot.

In addition, I decided to make a new character by applying the shortcomings of being short and dwarf.

The typical evil character of a sports character is the basics, plus a difficult family environment, and it is an obvious story of living a miserable life since childhood.

The training he received as a child from his father, who had a failed football life.

Rain or shine, or a typhoon, you just train with ignorance and persistence.

Future readers will be like, ‘What a crazy! You might say, ‘Do you not care about the lives of players?’, but that doesn’t matter in this day and age.

Wasn’t this a time when Korean football was only shouting for guts?

In any case, the unrivaled movement and the tireless heart characteristic of Park Ji-sung through training in a rather ignorant way. In addition, powerful shooting that can be called the romance of football.

I was thinking of creating a character that dominates the game with the unique physical style of the soccer cartoon ‘Captain Tsubasa’, which is gaining huge popularity in Japan now.

The reason I dared to think of Captain Tsubasa’s style was because of the influence of Captain Tsubasa at that time. The influence of this cartoon was unparalleled, to the extent that many world-famous soccer stars were later influenced by Captain Tsubasa.

Because of this, there is a famous anecdote that Japan overflowed with people supporting Tsubasa’s position, midfield.

Well, later on, it will gradually lose its popularity due to such an absurd development, but that doesn’t matter now.

Anyway, it’s such a cartoon, and I thought I’d refer to it as it’s actually growing in popularity in Japan.

It starts when I was a child, but I plan to start the story in earnest when I go to middle school. It’s a clichéd setting to leave a country school, follow his parents to the city, and go to a middle school with the weakest team.

Of course, who would like to see a cartoon where the young main character is only a middle school student at the script book, which is the main customer of the young people, but that’s not the case. The content will never be expressed beyond the performance of adult soccer players.

If the match has already started, you will forget the setting of I.

What is important is the content of the game, the skill of the main character, and the dramatic drama.

Isn’t Slam Dunk an American NBA disguised as high school basketball?

And it is comfortable for me now to start with middle school children’s games. I’ve grown up moderately, so it’s good to use various techniques.

Well, if it doesn’t work, you can fold it.

I have no intention of making it roughly, but it should be comfortable.

*

“A middle school student? Is it that this only goes on to the first year?”

Park Sang-sik looks at me with a puzzled expression. But I nodded my head without changing my expression.

“uh.”

“Why are you such a child?”

“Well, it’s good to write. light.”

“But, it’s for the release of the script. Most of the readers are young people…”

“Where is your age in sports?”

“Still, if you want to be immersed…”

“Then I’ll tell you the whole story, so listen to it and judge for yourself.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“okay······.”

From the beginning, I began to explain in detail what I had envisioned.

A bit of a cliché, but a decent episode about a miserable childhood, and why I got into soccer, etc.

I prepared a suitable story by mixing the early stories of various sports such as Tomorrow’s Joe, Captain Tsubasa, and Major.

“······Five.”

At that time, it was a time when people liked to start with a story of difficult times like the Dokgo Tak series.

But this is just a prologue, and what I’ve seen is the soccer game itself.

Usually, losing the first match in a cartoon like this is very important.

It would be nice to start by simply winning, but it lacks a lingering aftertaste. In addition, there is a lack of opportunity for the main character to make a determination for football.

Just a miserable match, and a disappointing defeat.

In the end, not only the main character, but the entire team awakens.

The process of becoming an important role in the team and the performance from the next game.

This alone is enough to tell a considerable amount of the story.

When I talked with excitement with my own emotions, Park Sang-sik was also engrossed in the story.

It wasn’t a perfect story, but when I finished it in that way, I was disappointed that he was disappointed.

“Oh, I’m very curious about the back story. It’s so exciting that it’s hard to believe that this is a real middle school soccer game.”

Park Sang-sik’s eyes twinkle when I put a little MSG in the middle of a slam-dunk-style moving story.

“Actually, I want to make a middle school student’s mask like an adult game.”

“It seems like it would be just hearing the story.”

After saying that, Park Sang-sik clasped his palms together as if something immediately came to mind.

“Come to think of it, it reminds me of the World Youth Soccer semifinals in the early summer of this year. The whole country was really excited about this, didn’t it?”

That’s what happened. I didn’t know.

Anyway, Park Sang-sik is full of emotion with a strange expression.

Come to think of it, when Korea reached the semifinals of the 2002 World Cup, the whole country was in turmoil. Of course, it was me when I was 9 years old, so my memory is hazy.

“If the drama is done well, even a middle school kid’s game would be fun enough.”

“You are right. Even though it was a youth team game, when I scored the first goal in the quarterfinals against Brazil, I was really blown away. Well, I lost because I got two goals later. For that moment, it really felt like a dream.”

It seems that the quarterfinals were also disappointing back then. Come to think of it, maybe it’s not a coincidence that I remembered 2002.

“Actually, from the perspective of watching cartoons, even if it’s a children’s game, if you increase the sense of immersion, you can have more fun than an adult game. In addition to that, I plan to give the protagonist a little foul ability.”

“what is that?”

“Physical, not physical ability.”

“Ah.”

After all, if you have a taste that overwhelms your opponent, the viewer will easily feel bliss.

As the story progressed, Park Sang-sik also became excited and took notes of the story.

“By the way, will you give the story only a rough outline?”

“No, let’s go into the story in detail this time, and even if it’s bothersome, I wish hyung would make the storyline himself.”

Park Sang-sik was surprised at that.

“There are two days left, until the continuity?”

It’s a bit of a burdensome look.

Well, no matter how simple the storyline, it is not easy to work while thinking of each scene.

“Anyway, if you want to become a story writer, you have to work on a continuity. Previously, I did the continuity for the work myself.”

Park Sang-sik nodded his head vigorously as if he agreed with those words.

“You are right. Anyway, here, the drawing man does the storyline himself, so there is a feeling that something is subtly different from the story I was thinking of.”

“Perhaps it is. But it’s a soccer cartoon, right?”

“The subject that just pushed me to hell. Do you think of cats and mice?”

“haha.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll try to make it somehow by referring to other soccer cartoons, and it won’t be too difficult because it’s a simple way to draw.”

Park Sang-sik burned his will, exposed his teeth, and laughed.

“Anyway, it would be nice to show off my skills to Team A right now. And because the manuscript fee for the story writer of Team A is higher.”

“Uh, okay?”

“Did you not know?”

“I didn’t know.”

The more money you give, the more motivated you will be, right?

After that, I continued the story I had been thinking for a long time.

And when the whole story was finished, Park Sang-sik spoke in an excited voice.

“Hey, I didn’t know football could be so much fun. I saw the national team game occasionally, but that was important to win, but I didn’t really care about the content. In your story, that scene, the scene is like a movie. No, it would be difficult to express football like this even in a movie.”

To be honest, I’m making this myself, but I never thought it would be this much fun. And the rules of the game seem to know more than I already knew.

“By the way, do you know a lot? Did you meet with football officials and conduct an investigation in advance?”

“What?”

“That’s right. It’s happening on the pitch, the nerves between the coaches, and what’s going on with the character of the school.”

uh? Then I saw something strange.

It is true that I have watched a lot of soccer cartoons, and it is true that I have some knowledge, but did I even know such details?

No, the times are better than that.

The story of the middle and high school sports club at the time is more detailed than I thought.

uh, what’s going on?

There are a lot of strange things when I talk about it with excitement and think about it.

how confusing

But I really don’t know.

Is there a slight change in knowledge as we come to the past, or is it because of that cat?

I’ve had a similar experience before, so maybe that’s the cause?

“by the way. The content and length of the game is…”

When Park Sang-sik scratched his chin and spoke with a strange expression, only then did I come to my senses.

“Why?”

“It’s a bit disappointing because the game is so fast-paced and the game is too short.”

“Well, it can’t be helped. It was conceived with the intention of finishing within 10 volumes from the beginning.”

“Yeah, though.”

Park Sang-sik still nodded his head with a face that he was satisfied in the end, although he still had a sad expression on his face.

But on the contrary, I remembered what Park Sang-sik had just said.

The part where I felt the match was too short.

If so, what should I do?

That’s why I’m in trouble again.

Park Sang-sik stopped talking for a while because of my appearance and just looked at me. Usually, when he is thinking like this from time to time, he just looks at him without saying anything so as not to disturb him.

He thought about running the game in detail anyway.

If the content of the game is extended as Park Sang-sik said, the number of stories that can be included in 10 volumes is limited.

The story that serves as a background in the beginning of the introduction, the relationship with football, and the game will be over with just one game.

What do we do?

But the decision on that thought was surprisingly easy.

“Then, let’s increase the game part as hyung said.”

Park Sang-sik was startled by my words.

“uh? really? So what about the back story?”

“Delete boldly.”

“Is that okay?”

“Well, the important thing is not the length of the story, but the fun.”

“Yeah, but still, wouldn’t it be nice to end it like that with 10 volumes?”

Park Sang-sik’s concerns are understandable.

This is because, among the scripted comics, there are very few cases where a story starts like this and ends with only a match. No, at least not in my memory.

However, if you think about it except for the script, there are plenty of manga like this.

It’s rare at this time, but in the future, sports comics like this will dominate.

The manga “Touch” by Mitsuru Adachi, which was serialized from 1981 to 1986, and is currently serialized for a long time, is also based on baseball, but it is actually a love story. Nevertheless, the baseball scene appears longer than expected.

Oh, and come to think of it, with the advent of touch, the dominance of hot-blooded sports has begun to change.
