1983 Past Life Manga King

“It’s been roughly 10 years since we debuted…”

“Debut?”

“No, I’m sorry. I was wrong. This is when I started drawing comics in earnest.”

“Ah yes. i See. Even if it’s been 10 years, such skillful drawing is understandable.”

The staff nodded while muttering like that, and started looking at the manuscript again.

At this level, the pictures and story development are not bad.

No, both are significant.

If you are a rookie like this, even if you debut right away, as long as you support the story, there is no problem in the top ranks of the boy heroes.

He thought about it and shook his head again.

But this time the band-aid man was looking elsewhere.

This time, I looked for something else, and his gaze was on Team Leader Akagi.

He must have been busy checking the manuscript of Machine Gun Jack, which he received yesterday.

Glancing at him, the staff spoke again in an uncomfortable voice.

“Are you a bit distracted?”

At those words, the band-aid man flinched again and bowed his head again.

“Ah, sorry.”

“If you keep doing this, it will be difficult.”

“·················ogue.”

But anyway, he’s a talented person, so he can’t let it go like this.

He licked his tongue and spoke again.

“By the way, Mi… Um, sorry over there, but what was your name?”

“Yeah?”

“Is it Midochi?”

“Who are you?”

“You’re talking about your name.”

It was then that he had a look on his face.

“Ah. i See.”

“I’m sorry, but what was your name?”

“…well, what was it?”

“Yeah?”

The editor looked at him with a puzzled expression.

No matter how nervous I was, I wondered if I was losing my mind like this.

This was enough to make him wonder if he was a person who could hardly have a social life.

But it was then.

The editor who was passing by suddenly stopped walking. Then he tilted his head for a moment, then approached the two cautiously.

Then, looking at the band-aid man, he asked carefully.

“Isn’t it… by any chance, Toriyama-sensei?”

“Ah yes?”

The man in the band-aid who answered so rolled his eyes and spoke again in a dying voice.

“Oh, no.”

“I think that’s right.”

“·················ogue.”

The band-aid man is not restless because he was so embarrassed by the editor’s words. Then he immediately gave up, and then he scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

“Oh, this. I heard it.”

“Well, it’s not that I didn’t see it very well.”

He smiled brightly at the editor who said that.

The employee who saw it made an absurd expression.

The aspiring manga artist in front of you is Toriyama-sensei? The cartoonist who drew the famous Dragon Ball?

He thought the paintings were similar, but he never imagined it would be him.

And when I took a closer look at his face, it looked like it was Toriyama-sensei’s face.

The employee, who was mixed with embarrassment and bewilderment, hardened.

The editor, who had glanced at such an employee, turned his gaze away and looked at the man in the band-aid again and asked.

“By the way, for some reason I got here…”

“Ah yes. Just on the way…”

The editor-in-chief looked at him as he answered with an awkward smile, and saw the employee sitting opposite him and the draft he was holding. And then he asked with anticipation.

“By any chance, in order to serialize a new manga for our boy hero…”

“Oh, not that. I really stopped by on the way…”

“Then, that manuscript….”

“Oh, that one? A drawing for practice I drew a few years ago……”

The man in the band-aid who had said that kept his mouth shut, as if he thought it was a strange thing to say to himself. Then he gave strength to his brow, gave a thoughtful expression, and immediately spoke to the editor in a low voice.

“Hey, but the staff here don’t seem to know the identity of the hi-techer.”

“Hi-taker?”

“Yeah.”

Suddenly, the editor-in-chief made an absurd expression and opened his mouth.

“That’s because Team Leader Akagi, who is in charge, is keeping it a secret, so he came all the way here because he was curious about high-tech…”

“I, absolutely not.”

The editor-in-chief decided that it was clear that he had come because he was curious about the identity of the hi-techer.

“No. So, do you have anything to do with Team Leader Akagi?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“You’re busy, but it’s difficult if you interrupt your work.”

At those words, the employee sitting across from me put on an expression that seemed to say, “I am a busy person too.”

But, without paying any attention to that direction, the band-aid man said again.

“Well, you can’t do that.”

Saying that, he stood up.

“Now that you are here, have a cup of tea…”

“no. I have to go now. You came all the way to Tokyo on purpose.”

Having said that, he approached the editor and whispered.

“I’m sorry, but please keep it a secret from others. If you ever find out from the jumping side, it’s noisy. And the staff.”

At that, the editor and staff nodded their heads with bewildered expressions.

The man at the band-aid school, who immediately made a sad expression on his face, returned the manuscript that was in the hands of the staff.

Then he looked at the seat where Jiro was sitting for a moment, then he greeted the two of them and walked straight to the door.

The two stared at his back until he disappeared from sight.

And when he disappeared, the staff turned to the editor and asked.

“Are you purposely disguising yourself like that because of the hi-tech?”

“It looks like that.”

“Rumors are spreading that the teacher hates coming to Tokyo.”

“Yeah. I was a little surprised too.”

“Before, I heard that Tengen and Sunny were friends. Can’t we just call?”

“You just saw it. Would you have been able to call me openly and ask me with such a personality?”

“No, I think this is more difficult and cumbersome.”

“I heard it and that’s it.”

“By the way, machine gun jacks are very popular these days. Seeing that even Toriyama-sensei makes such a journey.”

“Yeah. I was quite surprised too.”

“By the way, don’t you tell Team Leader Akagi?”

“No, I have to tell you.”

“uh? You just told me not to tell anyone.”

“Akagi is an exception.”

“why?”

“It will make it worthwhile to come here on purpose.”

“Ah.”

Only then, the staff nodded his head with a look of understanding.

Hitaker (4)

When I got the phone call from Jiro, I put on an absurd expression.

“Are you saying that Toriyama-sensei came to the editorial department on purpose?”

-Yeah.

Jiro’s answer gave him a look of dismay.

I heard that he hates going to Tokyo rather than dying, so that person deliberately went to a place that was not even his own publishing house in disguise.

In addition, I prepared a drawing manuscript under a pseudonym.

But suddenly, I wondered what the drawing was like.

Maybe it’s a manuscript I don’t know.

Seeing this suddenly makes me curious, it seems that I am a devotee and a devotee.

– It looks like you’ve been curious about it for quite some time.

I woke up to those words.

And when I think about it again, I smiled because it somehow felt good in my eyes.

Still, I have no intention of intentionally giving spoilers about the identity of the high-taker. That’s never respectful.

It might be happier to stay curious.

Well, if I called you directly, I might feel weak.

Did you ever wonder about the identity of a high-techer enough to act like that?

-I still get a lot of calls these days about hi-tech. But I can’t answer because I don’t know anyone other than me.

As a matter of fact, Jiro also occasionally asks questions from people he has a personal acquaintance with. However, there is no way he can get on with Jiro, who is knowledgeable, and he doesn’t even tell Akira Toriyama from the world.

Come to think of it, they said that Hi-Taker has been more polarizing since it first appeared.

It seems that there are many fans who have fallen for the charm of that strangely neutral atmosphere.

-Ah, but a few days ago, I overheard Nishida-sensei talking with the person in charge. I was a little surprised.

“Are you surprised?”

-Yeah. Nishida-sensei was a bit sharp, and she was good at finding hidden things from Samsara.

I’ve heard of that, too.

Seonhee sometimes hides these and other things in her cartoons, but I found a few of them.

It seems that there were even some that were found earlier than me.

Is this because we are a fan of manga, or is it because we are a fan of manga?

Anyway, it’s kind of like seeing through the hidden content of the manga.

Thanks to this, I have a feeling that Seon-hee is also a little conscious of Nishida.

The reason I’m thinking that way is because it seems like I’ve been hiding it more deeply lately.

So, it’s hard to find now.

Even if you openly search for it, it’s not easy.

But, I guess the yangban noticed something else?

-You said that the hi-taker is not human, and you said that the position is neutral and the nuance of knowing too much.

Huh? Did you really notice that?

I searched my head and thought about whether there was a scene that I could notice, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of anything like that.

– To be honest, I was a little surprised. I thought it was hard to notice because the manga didn’t depict that. How did you really know?

I know yeah.

-At first, I thought that the teacher might have informed Nishida-sensei himself.

“If that was the case, neither height nor hyung would have known.”

Jiro laughed at that.

– So.

“Aren’t you talking about anything else?”

-I do not know. Actually, I was surprised to hear you talking about it nearby, so I’ve been listening to it ever since.

“Nearby?”

-Yeah.

hmmm.

be near

Was it something I was told to listen to on purpose?

Maybe it was to check Jiro’s reaction.

Throw it around and see Jiro’s reaction, you’ll have more confidence.

But, as I thought about it, I quickly laughed.

because it doesn’t make sense

Because you can’t just figure this out without any reason.

No, I figured it out.

what is this

I just want to know that, do I even do something like that?

No.

Come to think of it, Akira Toriyama said that he even pretended to be a rookie and brought a drawing…

ah, though

As she recalled Nishida’s usual upright appearance, she shook her head wildly.

It must also be a misunderstanding.

* * *

“Etch!”

Nishida, who suddenly came to Kido’s studio, sneezed as soon as she sat on the sofa.

Then Nishida tilted her head.

“Who is talking to me?”

Kido looked at him and frowned.

“By the way, aren’t you busy?”
