1983 Past Life Manga King

“Senior, do you know this girl?”

Office of Weekly Rumors.

Mine asked, handed a picture to one of the male employees.

The man who saw the picture tilted his head.

“I don’t know?”

“It’s a Royal Family specialty. Don’t you even know?”

The man continued to scratch the back of his head as if he didn’t know, as he stared intently at the picture.

“Well, a famous person would know, but I don’t know this face.”

“I’m a girl from the Nakaya group.”

The man was startled by Mine’s words.

“Nakaya group? The only daughter of Chairman Keiji Nakaya? Oh, this is what it looks like.”

“You know too. Do you know anything about this lady?”

“a little. But I saw your face for the first time. By the way, there were rumors that she was a beauty, but it was more than I thought.”

He looked at the picture and smiled.

Seeing this, Mine frowned slightly and urged him.

“Tell me what you know.”

“Did you smell something? Can’t you tell me a little bit?”

“Let’s talk first. And since we haven’t figured out anything yet, we don’t have anything to tell you at this point.”

At that, the man nodded his head.

“If so. By the way, I heard that there was also a younger brother, but he must have died in an accident.”

“Ok?”

“Huh. So it looks like her only daughter is letting her live while she’s just doing what she wants. That’s the characteristic of the Royal Family, though. The company will lead him as Daryl son-in-law.”

After saying that, he said in a small way, ‘Aren’t you going to take a man like me? He can risk his life to work,’ he giggled and laughed.

I usually don’t want to talk to him because he’s such a person, but I thought I had to put up with it now, so I asked Mine while controlling her expression.

“And?”

But the man’s expression, who had been giggling alone, suddenly changed strangely.

“Well, even if you find out, it won’t be a profitable article.”

“Yeah? why?”

“He’s from the Royal Family, but there have been rumors that he’s eccentric.”

“Are you alright? What? Male bias?”

Then better. If this is the case, you can write a lot of interesting articles.

Mine shook his head from side to side as if it was not a man like that.

“No, that’s fine, we specialize in that. But that’s not it, should I say it’s unique? It’s not something you would expect if you were the only daughter of a chaebol family.”

“Be specific, don’t be vague.”

“I am a female college student, and at the same time, I want to be a manga artist and a manga artist. It seems that he has some talent or that he is a genius cartoonist.”

“Are you a cartoon?”

“It’s a little weird for the only daughter of a chaebol family. Why are you working as a cartoonist with a bad image? In any case, it seems that the chaebols are also ostracized because of that.”

The man who had said that clapped his hands as if he had remembered something.

“Oh, and by the way, have you ever been interviewed by a manga artist before? He also seems to have a good sense of smell. Anyway, I told you, so let me know if you find out about something big. got it.”

As the man said that, he laughed out loud, and then he left his seat.

He looked at her back and muttered with a look of surprise for Mine.

“Are you a cartoonist? The only daughter of a chaebol?”

Money to Network (2)

Finally, the new year of 1987 has dawned.

After all, I am already 25 years old here.

In 2018, when I left, I was 25 years old, so I am now my original age.

Do you think that’s why you bought 4 more years as a bonus?

Actually, you have to be 29.

Well, thanks to that, it’s good that your 20s are getting longer.

Anyway, even after New Year’s Day and New Year’s Day passed, the studio was still busy.

Of course, all work on Fasiencia has been completed, and the serialization will be completely finished next week. And the fact that it was the ending was also revealed through the magazine.

Maybe that’s why, I heard that there were quite a number of protest calls saying they couldn’t accept the reality.

In particular, there were quite a number of protest calls and postcards from readers who dreamed of becoming a soccer player.

Jiro sighed, saying that fans seem to turn into the most fearful enemies when they are angry.

In the midst of that happening, the colleges of the twins and sister were decided.

Since it is a university that is well known in Seoul, my mother was very happy, and I received quite a lot of congratulations in the studio.

I didn’t even go to college, so I’m so proud.

I don’t know how I’d live without my brothers in the future.

Anyway, while I was busy with this and that, I got a call from Mine after a long time.

After a brief greeting, she asked an unexpected question.

– Do you know about Izumi Nakaya, the only daughter of the Chairman of the Nakaya Group? I heard you are serializing a boy hero manga.

“Yeah. I know. But why, what is going on?”

– No, I saw something interesting.

“It’s fun, how about it?”

– I met Raven Basman.

Raven Basman?

“Who are you? That person?”

– Well, even a genius story writer doesn’t seem to know much about Hollywood movies.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Saying that, he smiled a little, then opened his mouth again.

– He is a famous American screenwriter.

“Are you a screenwriter? Izumi-san, have you met such a person?”

– Yeah. Doesn’t it smell like something funny?

“Since it’s a chaebol, it could be that we just met as close friends.

– I do not know. If we were to meet as close friends, we would meet more openly, but why is it so secretive?

I laughed out loud at that.

“Stop talking like that. Because I don’t want to know much about other people’s private lives. Please let the rumor readers know about that.”

– Oh, Tengen-san, aren’t you interested?

“I don’t want to know too many things.”

– I’m surprised.

Saying so and smiling again.

As if something was funny about my reaction.

Anyway, after laughing like that for a while, Mine cleared her voice and spoke again.

– Well, if it was something our readers would expect, as Tengen said, it would have been written first as an article that readers would like.

“You mean not?”

– Yeah. No. Unfortunately.

Even with that said, the voice sounds strangely happy.

– I did some research, and it seems like they met because of a cartoon.

“Because of the cartoon?”

There are very few opportunities for a cartoonist to personally meet a screenwriter for a movie, even a well-known American screenwriter.

But if that’s possible, there’s only one reason.

It’s a cartoon story.

Come to think of it, Izumi’s story is losing strength these days, so it won’t be irrelevant.

– Yeah. Something like that had happened before. Was it a boys’ magazine, a magazine that was serialized before? Anyway, something similar happened there. Of course, at that time, I heard that he was not a screenwriter but a film director, but I can’t remember his name, but he said he was a famous person anyway.

“So how was it then?”

– Oh, what was the conclusion of the meeting?

“Yeah.”

– Well, from what I researched, it was said that the popularity of the story dropped even more because of the sudden change in the story. I don’t know, but I heard that I spent a lot of money on it.

For a moment, the tension in his body slipped out of his chest.

I was very concerned when I heard that I had met a famous screenwriter, but it happened before, but the bottom line is that it was ruined.

After all, the storytelling method of the comic strip and the movie is basically different, and the country is also different in the first place.

– Are you saying that the chaebol girl’s grades aren’t good these days?

“Yeah. It seems to have weakened a bit compared to the beginning.”

– Seriously, if you look at it like that, it seems like you’re a genius or something you’re encouraging, but it seems like there’s a surprisingly naive side to it. If you think that you can only get help from a director or screenwriter who is known in the movie country of America. I’d rather meet an American comic book story writer.

“That’s not a good idea either. First of all, Japanese and American comics are different. They have different interests.”

– Oh, I see. I didn’t know that. Also, my knowledge of comics is different. Anyway, that’s the story I’m going to tell you.

“Thank you for calling me for something like that on purpose.”

– What is it, how do we help each other like this? After all, Tengen-sensei’s help with housework is a big deal.

“Because they are good for each other, there is nothing to say about helping. Anyway, I heard good stories thanks to you.”

– Was it helpful?

“Yeah. It was helpful.”

– Then, let’s go on a date anytime.

“Yeah?”

As soon as I asked, a loud laughter was heard.

– Haha, kidding. Anyway, next time I find something interesting, I’ll contact you.

“Ah yes. thank you.”

I hung up the phone in such a dazed state.

After a while, however, things turned out differently than expected.

A week after Pasiencia, which has been evaluated as the best ending ever, finally finished it.

I got a call from Jiro.

– Most reactions are that the story has become quite interesting as the story changes rapidly. I think I will get pretty good results in this questionnaire as well.

Actually my thoughts were the same.

It was a story that had become quite boring because the initial impact had disappeared, but the story has changed with the advent of a new military force.

The scene of sweeping away the virus that was spreading like a disaster with overwhelming firepower made me feel catharsis.

And the results showed up in the questionnaire.

– Again, Devil Virus is second behind Machine Gun Jack. The editorial department also responded that it would not be strange to say that this episode was ranked number one.

I hate to admit it, but Jiro was right.

That’s because the impact was significant.

The reaction would have been better because the US military and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, armed with great power, secretly touched the soup in a way that they would fight together.

Of course, personally, it was difficult for me to accept that the Japan Self-Defense Force conducts operations in such a coordinated manner, but, well, it is a cartoon.

However, it was from the next episode that I got a subtle feeling.

Kojima was fluttering outside Izumi’s mansion.

She blamed her feet on the bitter January weather.

“If I had known this would happen, would I have worn a few more socks?”

Kojima, who was shivering in the cold with her hands tucked into her armpits, muttered like that.

Now he had been fighting the cold like this outside for an hour, but there was no communication from inside.

He must have been told that he would come to pick up the finished manuscript today, but he couldn’t go inside like this, so it was frustrating.

Then the door to the large mansion opened.

Kojima approached the gate with a welcome expression.

Then he stopped when he saw the people opening the door and coming out.

Because several people, both white and black, came out the door.

And the old man who always followed Izumi greets them in English. After a while, luxury vehicles approached, and they all disappeared.

Kojima looked at him with a blank expression on his face.

He also thinks that he has a lot of foreign customers because he is a chaebol.

Then an old man found Kojima and approached him. And then he nodded.

“Sorry to keep you waiting so long.”

As the old man greeted him, at the same time, Kojima bowed his head and waved his hand.

“No, thanks. By the way, it seems that a lot of foreign guests are coming.”

“No, it is not. We rarely invite foreigners to our house unless it is a special occasion.”

“Is it something special?”

“Yes, they are here to help the lady.”

“After all, the chaebol girl is different. Izumi-sensei must be doing something special.”

“Not this time. It’s because of the cartoon.”

“A cartoon?”

“Yeah. They are experts in various fields from the United States.”

“·················ogue.”

For a moment, Kojima froze his eyes with a look of astonishment.

Manga has come to require a lot of expertise these days, but it was a woman on a different scale from the beginning to invite experts from various fields to make comics in the United States.

“If that happens, wouldn’t the belly button be bigger than the belly button?”

“What do you mean?”

“So, I thought it would be difficult to afford the manuscript fee.”

“Ah yes. It is not possible with the manuscript fee paid to the publisher. However, you are not interested in the original manuscript fee.”

Haha, for the young lady of the conglomerate, the manuscript fee will be nothing but the price of gum.

Perhaps the pride of being number one is more important.

She may be even more so since she hasn’t been in number one yet.

Then, the old man presented what he had prepared to Kojima.

“Here it is.”

Kojima handed the old man one of her briefcases.

“This is the finished manuscript this week.”
