1983 Past Life Manga King

The surroundings are noisy.

I opened my eyes slowly and woke up my stiff body, and it was a studio.

After looking around with a blank mind for a moment, I remembered that I had only fallen asleep at dawn while reading the manuscript sent from Japan.

The fishermen are looking at me like that.

“Are you awake now?”

Sung Joon-hee looked at me and asked.

“uh. What time is it now?”

“It’s lunch time soon.”

“Has that already happened?”

Haha, I fell asleep after 4 o’clock, so it’s understandable.

“Did you go to bed late to see what came in the parcel?”

“uh.”

Of course, it took more time, thanks to the discovery of a few more than I expected.

Among them, the work titled ‘Naga’ was quite interesting.

It’s a story about a ‘naga’ who helps the main character Ken just before he is killed, but in fact, he came from one of the new worlds created through Ken’s numerous time loops.

And at the end, the story ends when it is revealed that he is Ken’s disciple in that world.

The setting is also the setting, but the way the story is told was unique, which made it stand out.

Of course, it was a storyline, not a cartoon.

So, what kind of synergy will be created if you only meet people who will be in charge of drawing?

In my mind, I am so greedy that I want to ask Seon-hee if she would like to draw her once.

Anyway, there were quite a few good stories, and there were more works than expected with satisfying paintings.

After lunch, I called Jiro.

Then, I called out the final selections from the manuscripts I saw yesterday, and informed them of my own evaluation.

Jiro, who wrote it down, said.

– After all, you liked the work ‘Naga’.

“Did Akagi-san do the same?”

– The story of another world in a different time axis was unique and interesting. And another Ken.

“Yeah. I was a little surprised because it was a higher level story than I expected. And that he understood the original very well.”

– Most of the manuscripts and names sent this time were like that. There were also novel works that created a story by highlighting a story that even I, the person in charge of, had been missing. However, there are a lot of works that were dropped because the basic story was too boring.

It is said that there were many substandard works as there were many works.

That’s because it’s unavoidable.

– Oh, and the work you sent me this time was fine.

“Are you Ravana?”

– Yeah. But are you a writer that you discovered separately?

“Ah yes. It’s not me, it’s Daebong’s older brother. And it’s not just one person, it’s a team.”

– Being a team, somehow the story and drawings are all of a high standard. By the way, Mr. James is also great. Even when you are busy, you discover new people yourself.

“Iknow, right.”

– Anyway, as long as the teacher chooses it, this work will also appear in the first issue of Samsara World.

Anyway, I’m glad it’s still in the magazine.

– And from now on, the person in charge of the teacher at Samsara World will become the new editor-in-chief. He will see the teacher soon.

“I guess so. Akagi-san must be busy.”

– Haha, I still want to do it myself.

I’m really sorry, I can hear sighs mixed between words.

“Do not work too hard. Then you really fall.”

– Yeah?

“I heard from Kawada-san. You say you’re out of your mind these days. I’m sorry it’s all because of us.”

– no. As a person in charge, of course. Why does he say useless things…?

So, after talking with Jiro about the work for a while, I hung up.

Anyway, I did the first thing I did.

Now, the newly formed editorial department will take care of it.

*

– Really?

“Yeah. I will go up to the first issue of Samsara World.”

Cheers erupted over the phone at my words. And I can hear people around me telling my story.

Then, as if other people were in an uproar, they heard screams (?) of women.

After shaking like that for a while, I heard Park Ki-woo’s voice on the phone again.

Oh, and Park Ki-woo is the leader of ‘Studio D’ created by Lee Dae-bong.

After a few phone calls, he became friends, so he stopped talking.

Anyway, the voice I loved so much became serious again.

– Hey, hyung, wouldn’t he go into his bag and curse him?

“What is white? It’s a skill that was recognized there. You don’t have to think like that.”

– Still, because we’re the same Korean…

“Why are you so insecure? I’m fine.”

He replied vigorously again, as if he had gained confidence in those words.

– Yeah. Okay. brother.

And a few days later, the Studio D members came to the studio.

The two men and women who had not been seen when we went before also came together, so there are six.

When the children enter the studio with tense expressions, they are busy greeting people when they see them.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Good morning!”

“nice to meet you!”

Seeing this, Daebong Lee covered her ears and angered her.

“Aww, it’s noisy! what kind of scoundrel are you guys? Do it in moderation!”

“uh? Did you also go to the military?”

When one of the children who came to ask a question with a surprised face, Daebong Lee frowned and put his hands on his waist and ranted.

“what? are you kidding me now of course i went He’s also from the front line. You said you worked for the GOP!”

Others were surprised by that statement.

especially the fish.

Among them, Somi Park asked with a surprised expression.

“Oh, really? Did you work on the iron fence?”

“Of course. It’s completely different from our Yunhwan.”

Saying that, he sneezes at me. with a proud expression.

“What is it, I am also at the forefront……”

Oh, I’m just from Hexagon here.

As soon as I shut my mouth, Daebong Lee said with a smirk.

“I know, I know. That you were as hard as the soldiers who served on the front lines. Well, even if it’s hard, it’s hard.”

“·················ogue.”

I have the urge to hold on to one, but right now, I can’t resist.

To be honest, I don’t even know what a hexagon is.

However, Silver stepped forward.

“Are you going to stop talking shit?”

“Tangerine, are you ignoring me because I’m a special forces soldier?”

“Hey, the subject of a march with only 100 kilos. Have you ever heard of a thousand miles march?”

“Have you ever worked night shifts for more than 4 hours every day at minus 25 degrees Celsius in the middle of winter? More than 6 hours in case of emergency. The first half, the middle, the second half.”

“Have you tried jumping off Chinook with a parachute? Do you know what a parachute is?”

The two of us are fighting over trivial things again.

Because of that, the 6 people who came to me slowly looked at me and came towards me.

“Hey, I’ve never seen James so excited.”

“Yes. He’s always relaxed, but he’s weird today.”

“If you put those two together, it’s always like that. Do not worry about it.”

“Ah.”

“Well, it’s new. It’s the first time I’ve seen James oppa put into such a corner.”

“Kick-kick right.”

They seem to be having a lot of fun talking to each other.

At the same time, I was looking around the studio little by little to see if the tension had been relieved a little.

Then, the leader, Park Ki-woo, glanced between the fishermen and asked me.

“Hey, who is Miss Sunny?”

“Oh, I haven’t come back from school right now. I’ll be back late in the afternoon. No, I often come back at night these days, so I’m going to be a little late.”

“uh? Are you a college student?”

“What? Sunny is a college student? It’s really great.”

“Hey, isn’t it natural that he’s Tengen’s younger brother?”

“Yes.”

“Don’t call me Tengen. It’s just a pen name I use when I’m working in Japan. It’s just Yunhwan Lee. And Sunny is also Lee Sun-hee. Oh man, Seon-hee is in her 3rd year of high school, she is in her 3rd year of high school. He’s coming late because he’s busy with the college entrance exam next month.”

All the kids were startled by my words.

“Yeah? Are you in high school?”

“Really?”

“uh. right. high school 3.”

Let’s check once again, everyone is ice-cold.

Seeing this, Daebong Lee approached with a smile.

“Did I not tell you?”

At those words, everyone exclaimed in unison.

“I didn’t!”

Samsara Multiverse (6)

The editorial department of Samsara World, a new manga magazine.

Although the manuscripts of the first issue have already been handed over to the printing factory, the editorial department is still cluttered because it has not been properly organized.

However, as the days passed, the editorial department was gradually taking shape.

So today, the staff are busy organizing and preparing for the next issue. At that time, a new recruit who had just joined the company and was assigned to this place was entering the editorial department with the newly released sample magazine in his arms.

“The magazine sample is out!”

When he shouted that, the people who were working stopped moving and rushed to him all at once.

“Give me one.”

“I also.”

“Come on, it’s enough, so don’t push yourself too hard.”

Saying so, he handed out books to the staff.

After receiving the sample booklet, the staff looked at the outside of the book and then started turning the pages.

“Oh, the print quality is fine. It’s paper, so you can’t do it because it’s recycled.”

“Still, at this rate, I’m in better shape than a boy hero. Isn’t that why the unit price is going up?”

“It’s still thin. And there are a lot of sponsorship advertisements, so it’s just a little more relaxed.”

“Yes. There are a lot of ads. But wouldn’t the readers hate it?”

“It is unavoidable because the unit price is maintained because of advertisements. And the readers who buy it anyway are different from ordinary readers.”

“right. Because Samsara’s fans are two targets.”

While the employees were buzzing and talking, a new employee who came in with a book opened his mouth.

“By the way, I have a question for you.”

“What?”

“Even if you are an amateur, why did you even send the manuscript to active duty members? To be honest, it is the work of another cartoonist who is a competitor. Isn’t this a matter of self-esteem?”

Some of the staff laughed at that.

And one of them opened his mouth.

“Are you a competitor to active cartoonists? Pride? Do you think it is that important?”

At that, the newcomer asked with a puzzled expression.

“Yeah? So it doesn’t matter?”

“Of course, there are people who are important to that. few.”

“A few?”

“What comes to mind when you think of a cartoonist?”

At those words, the newbie rolled her eyes for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“Ummm… a bread cap? Are you constantly immersed in painting? And that’s a lot of money, right?”

At that, the other staff laughed out loud.

The rookie, who had been staring at such a scene, looked back with a strange look.

“why? Is what I said wrong?”

“Wrong or whatever, what you just said is almost the image of Tezuka-sensei.”

At that, the staff around them also nodded their heads.

The newcomer had a bewildered expression as if he could not understand such a reaction.

“Tezuka-sensei is no different than the representative of a manga artist. So, of course.”

“Yeah, what. There are cartoonists like that. But the reality is a little different. Because only a very small percentage of people who started as cartoonists and survived. There are a lot of cartoonists who have never published a book, and even if they publish more than 10 books, there are a lot of people who give up because it’s too tight to buy.”

“Really? I think I would have made a lot of money with about 10 books.”

“If you work on this floor, you will go through a lot. Anyway, that’s not important, so the reason why the active duty you mentioned earlier is applying for a manga contest, which is a side story of this kind of work, is that it’s the biggest reason. After all, it’s because it’s hard to make a living.”

“·················ogue.”

“Anyway, the reality is that there are many cartoonists who have a hard time making a living. Maybe it’s a sequel for publishers like us.”

“It’s kind of sad. I just thought that cartoonists make a lot of money. How many people are having such a hard time? I don’t even know that, and I feel pathetic.”

“There is no need to be so shy. To be honest, most of the staff at comic book publishing houses were people who weren’t interested in comics before they started working. To be honest, most people didn’t really start to read manga until they came to a manga publisher.”

“really? That’s surprising. I thought everyone who worked at a comic book publishing company was doing it because they liked their job.”

“There are people like that, but that’s a minority.”

“right. Really few.”
