1983 Past Life Manga King

Chapter 313

“I don’t think so.”

“No, it’s not what. I think you’re right. She is known from the outside as a very sincere cartoonist, but she’s actually hiding herself. Does he manage his image like celebrities?”

“I never really hid…”

“Anyway, I don’t want to lose to such an arrogant girl.”

“So, to be particularly arrogant…”

Jiro tried to talk more, but Izumi turned her around to see if she didn’t want to hear her, and she spoke to an old man in a suit who was nearby.

“Guroda! Come back!”

“Yes, lady.”

As an old man called Kuroda answered, he slid a high-quality cloak on the shoulder of Izumi who was leading her and followed her at her trotter.

Then her staff around her hurries out of her way.

But Izumi, who was about to leave her editorial department, stopped her, and she turned around again. She then folded her arms and tilted her head crookedly, opening her mouth.

“Anyway, I wish you all the best.”

“······It is for the editor-in-chief.”

“Come on, Kuroda!”

“Yes, lady.”

As Izumi again walked in front of her, her old man hurriedly followed her behind her.

Jiro, who was watching her, scratched her head and slumped down in his seat.

At that moment, Yajima, who was near her, approached her.

“Hey, Team Leader Akagi. What’s going on?”

“Well, it’s nothing. By the way, you don’t have to use the word “team leader” over and over again. It’s just embarrassing.”

“Hey, don’t just call me senior, you can call me like me.”

“·················ogue.”

When Jiro stared at her, she smiled.

Yajima was also promoted to team leader on the same day as Jiro. So these days, because it was Yajima who was having fun being called the team leader, Jiro scratched his head again when he saw him like that.

“I just want to call you like before. It’s so awkward.”

At that, Yajima giggled and laughed.

“Well, even if you don’t know other people, you’re called that, so it’s not good because it feels a little farther away.”

“Then you can call me as usual.”

“Okay. By the way, did I say Izumi-sensei? That teacher?”

“Yeah. This is Nakaya Izumi.”

“okay.”

Saying that, Yajima continued her words, looking back in the direction Izumi had left.

“You say you’re a very wealthy girl?”

“Yeah. She said she was the only daughter of the Chairman of the Kaya Group.”

“Nakaya group?”

“Yeah. Chemical companies are the center, but these days they seem to have entered other fields as well.”

“Hmm, you’re a girl from a chaebol group, but why are you drawing cartoons? It wouldn’t even be money.”

“I don’t know that either.”

“do not know?”

“How would I know?”

Yajima looked at him and scratched his head.

Then she opened her mouth again as if she had remembered something.

“By the way, what are you asking for?”

“······that. He said he wanted me to be in charge.”

“What? You are in charge of Sunny and Tengen-sensei. Isn’t that just too busy? You are greedy.”

“Who is greedy? And it’s not like I said I wanted to.”

“Then why are you there?”

“I don’t even know. Even if I tell you to talk to the editor, it’s reckless.”

At that, Yajima grinned.

“Hey, you’re a fun girl.”

“I am tired.”

“By the way, what if the editor approves?”

“No.”

“Well, I see you as usual. If you don’t want to overwork you, you wouldn’t make that decision.”

She said so and laughed again.

“What is fun?”

“Of course it’s fun. The fact that such a great girl feels a rivalry towards Sunny, and that she wants to make you in charge.”

“I’m not having fun.”

“I’m having fun, I.”

She says so and continues to laugh.

Seeing that, Jiro stared at Yajima.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Now you look relaxed.”

“Can’t you relax?”

“If that rich lady starts a serialization, the ranking of the Jungwon Cooking King might be pushed further. How many steps have you fallen these days?”

At those words, Yajima’s smiling expression began to crack.

“Do you still think it is stable?”

“To throw a dagger with such a relaxed face, isn’t it too much?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“I think I’m busy and I have to go out.”

After Jiro answered that, he grabbed her bag and walked out of her editorial department.

Yajima, who was staring at him like that, grinned.

“Anyway, he’s an enviable guy.”

At that, a nearby employee asked with a puzzled expression.

“What do you envy?”

“Women are very twisted, women. It’s only for beauties.”

“Ah.”

At Yajima’s words, the staff nodded his head with an expression of understanding.

“That’s what I envy.”

Yajima scratched his head and grunted this time.

“right? Damn, the more I think about it, the more annoying it gets.”

Recently, there has been a lot of news about the Peace Dam.

It is said that North Korea is trying to subside Seoul by building the Geumgangsan Dam, and for that reason, a fundraising campaign for the construction of the dam for peace began on December 1.

Because of that, even in the studio, these days, there has been a lot of talk about the dam.

In the meantime, finally, in Boy Heroes, a manga series of genius Izumi Nakaya, who has finally attracted a lot of people’s attention, has started to be serialized.

Her new title is ‘Devil Virus’

A countryman accidentally discovers a hole created by an explosion on a mountainside in a remote country. Poisoned by pollen from the black flowers there, he has a seizure and goes wild after a while, and starts committing his murder.

He is eventually shot and killed by the police, but after that day, similar phenomena begin to happen to people around the area.

The shadows are darker than before, and the details feel more advanced.

However, the characteristic wobbly pen line adds to the bizarreness and gives a strange feeling of fear.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s the beginning, but it’s quite immersive, probably because interesting events are happening fast.

I’m usually less interested in fear compared to other fields, but I don’t feel much repulsed by it.

Other fishermen reacted similarly to me.

Daebong Lee, who came to play in the studio, is also interested in whether he heard about the new work. And after reading the Devil Virus, he opened his mouth.

“Fun, this. Ryutani, how are you?”

“fun. It’s quite different from the horror movies I’m used to, so it’s interesting. No, for a horror movie, it has the feel of an adventure action movie.”

Having said that, Tani Ryu tilts his head.

I’m not used to this style either.

If I had to ask, would it be said that Junji Ito’s style was mixed with Otomo’s style?

So, it feels like the bizarreness of the whirlpool and Akira’s directing power and detail are mixed.

However, since Junji Ito was not yet active, looking at it from this point of view, it must be a very unique feeling.

“I mean, you mean the shit he called you before?”

At that moment, Kyung-hee, who had come out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee, interrupted.

“Oh my, are you cheap? Who are you talking about?”

“Did you not hear? They said that they were going to win 1st place and shouted loudly. Maybe it was a female college student?”

“What?”

Surprised, Kyung-hee immediately frowned and said to me with excitement.

“Brother, it really is!”

Lee Dae-bong said with an anxious look because of Kyung-hee, who was excited while holding a coffee.

“Hey, Kyunghee. Even if you are excited, give me coffee first.”

Saying that, she quickly takes the coffee on the tray that Kyunghee is holding.

Kyunghee asked me, still excited.

“So what did your brother say?”

“I don’t even know what to say. Because Seon-hee answered the call.”

“What about Seon-hee?”

Kyunghee wrote her impression.

Then, this time, he strode closer to Seon-hee’s seat. Then, she looks around Seon-hee. It’s like she sees someone from where she’s been beaten.

“Are you okay?”

However, Seon-hee looks puzzled as she has not heard any conversations so far.

“what?”

“He, I mean, he! Cheap!”

“Is it cheap?”

“He said he was going to take the first place from you.”

“······Ah.”

Having said that, he bowed his head again and started painting. Kyung-hee, who saw it, sighed as if relieved, then came back to where we were and sat down on the sofa.

Lee Dae-bong, who saw this, asked Kyung-hee with a puzzled expression.

“Is that the end?”

“Huh? What?”

“No, I thought I was going to ask Seon-hee something more.”

Kyung-hee answered Lee Dae-bong’s question with a relaxed smile and folded her arms.

“It doesn’t matter now. Because Seonhee doesn’t seem to care much.”

“···········?”

Daebong Lee looks back at me with a look on his face.

I shrugged at Lee Dae-bong’s gaze.

I’m worried about Seon-hee, because Kyung-hee is doing it the most, so I think that’s probably the reason.

Kyunghee asked Ryutani this time.

“What kind of cartoon is this?”

Perhaps it was because of the conversation in Korean, Ryutani, who had a bewildered expression on her face not knowing the contents of the conversation, was startled and hurriedly opened her mouth.

“Yes, the Devil Virus.”

Having said that, he hurriedly fumbled through the boy hero’s book, found a page, and handed it to Kyunghee.

“Devil… a virus. The title is interesting.”

“Yeah. fun.”

“Hmm. okay?”

Saying that, he starts reading the manga.

Lee Dae-bong, who was still looking at him like he was absurd, turned his gaze back to me. Then he leaned back on the sofa and fiddled with his chin, he said.

“Anyway, this is difficult.”

“It’s difficult.”

“That’s right. Already, there is fierce competition among boy heroes these days, and it won’t be even more fierce if monsters like this come in. If we don’t want to fall out of the magazine, we’ll have to do our best, too.”

“The ranking is stable.”

“What is stability? You have two serials at the top of the list, so you don’t know how fierce the competition is between the lower ones.”

“The ones below? What kind of class society is it?”

“How is it different from the social class system? Manga magazines are all about popularity.”

Actually, what Daebong Lee said is not wrong.

Boy Hero has a similar structure to Boy Jump, so if the popularity of the lower ranks continues, the serialization will eventually be stopped.

So, lower-level works tend to change frequently.

“Even if it’s mid-range, it’s as close as riding a single rope.”

Having said that, he jumped up from his seat as he remembered something.

“Shall we call Mukai-sensei right now?”

Saying that, he walked over to the phone. Then, this time, Silver looked at him and scolded him.

“Hey, why are you making international calls here? Go to your house and hang out!”
