1983 Past Life Manga King

Chapter 55

“What the hell is this?”

────────────────────────────────────

What, Korean? (5)

“How are you, chief?”

“How and what, this is great.”

Having said that, the team leader saw Jiro who was next to Yajima this time and said with a surprised look.

“Hey, this person drew this manga…?”

At that, Yajima waved her hand.

“no. He is my college junior.”

“Oh yeah?”

Makes an expression that a little steam is leaking. But soon, he looks down at the drawing with an interesting look.

“By the way, is this really good? The details of the drawing are good, but the direction is very good. It would be perfect if I just put a pen line on it. And I’m curious about what’s behind it.”

“Look at that too.”

When Yajima pointed to the notebook sticking out of the envelope, the team leader took it out and asked.

“this?”

“Because that’s the name.”

“okay?”

The team leader made a welcome expression on his face and hurriedly opened the notebook and began to read.

Then, after flipping through the pages for a while, he raises his head to see if he has read it all.

The captain’s eyes are trembling.

“Yajima, what the hell is this?”

“how is it?”

“How are you? I don’t know, ask? If that’s the case, it’s a real hit. It’s the first time I’ve seen zombies so exciting. Well, zombies themselves aren’t that common. Anyway, I was trembling the whole time I watched it.”

“right?”

“Who the hell are you? Where the hell was this rookie hiding?”

“That’s a deal that was taken from another publisher.”

At Yajima’s words, the team leader put on an absurd expression.

“What? was this black? Where is that crazy publisher?”

“I said it was written by a Korean.”

“Ah, so was it. Somehow, I thought it was with Korean characters, but it was translated. By the way, it’s ridiculous because I’m Korean. So, can we get this from our publishing house, right?”

At the team leader’s words, Yajima grinned and looked back at her Jiro.

“You say? Are you okay?”

At that, the team leader looked at Jiro with surprised eyes.

“It’s a college junior.”

“Yeah. It’s a newcomer discovered by this friend. But the publishing house closed it, so I brought it with me.”

“Did you?”

Jiro bowed her head toward the team leader.

“I would like to put this work here, would it be okay?”

“Damn, hold on a second. Wait a moment.”

Having said that, she hurriedly ran to the window seat, taking her notes and drawing manuscripts.

“The editor-in-chief.”

“Ah.”

It was a matter that had to be decided quickly, so it seemed that he went straight to the editor.

And after a while, the editor looks at the name with the draft. Then, he soon approaches the place where Yajima and Jiro are.

“You said you were the person in charge of this manuscript?”

“The publication has not been decided, so it is difficult to say that it is responsible.

After hearing Jiro’s words, the editor immediately turned her gaze to Yajima.

“For now, I will fix that person as the person in charge, so please come to our editorial department. You know.”

“······Yeah?”

Jiro had a bewildered expression on her face, but without much explanation, the editor-in-chief shouted around.

“Hey, team leader or higher, it’s an emergency meeting! Stop what you are doing and gather in the conference room!”

Some of the team leaders objected to that.

“Yeah? Now I have to go to Mr. Nishima’s house and hold a serial meeting.”

“I am busy right now.”

“Shut up and gather!”

The team leaders got up from their seats and went to the conference room as if they had no choice but to hear the editor’s shout, and then the door was closed. Then the door to the conference room opened again and the team leader shouted at the place where Jiro and Yajima were.

“Hey, Yajima! you come in too! Oh, and who did you say you were over there?”

“Yeah. This is Akagi.”

“Ah yes. Mr. Akagi. Excuse me, could you please wait there for a moment?”

“Yeah. Okay.”

“Hey, Nakano!”

Then a female employee answers.

“Yeah.”

“Bring coffee and snacks to Akagi-san.”

“I know.”

After hearing the answer, the editor goes inside, and soon Yajima opens the door to the conference room and enters.

Seeing this, Jiro’s heart pounded strangely.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The story continues from the point where the zombies appear.

Zombies are like epidemics, as you know, once they start spreading, they get out of control.

A procession of zombies spreading like crazy.

and Abigail.

The story leads to the story of the entire earth going to extinction.

Then, the main character is attacked by zombies, and as a result, he dies in despair. And then you open your eyes again.

The protagonist, who leads the story, begins his normal daily life again, and as the afternoon passes, a zombie outbreak begins.

He wakes up again as he is killed by that zombie again.

After two deaths, the main character, gripped by fear, only tries to run away, but in the end he dies in one way or another.

A car accident or an airplane explodes when you get on an airplane.

Either way, you can’t get through the day safely.

So, little by little, he becomes weary.

And at some point, he becomes strong enough to slay zombies with his bare hands.

However, that alone cannot stop the repeating daily life.

And he eventually finds a clue as to how he can stop the zombies.

“Well, how are you all?”

After the four team leaders looked at the work, the editor-in-chief immediately asked everyone.

Then the bearded man sitting on his right side scratching his chin with his arms crossed opened her mouth.

“It’s great that the pictures are great, but above all, it’s really fun. Especially after episode 2, I really fell in love with it.”

At that, the skinny man standing next to him nodded his head in response.

“Yeah. Despite choosing a rare genre called zombies, the groundbreaking content of the repetition of time is added and the power to immerse the reader in the story is amazing.”

Saying so, he sticks out his tongue. Then he crossed his arms and leaned his back on the chair.

“Ah, this is true. It’s a bit unfortunate that such a talented person exists in Korea.”

“To be honest, I’m a Korean, and I’m just a rookie, so I thought we should get together, but looking at the pictures and the story…

“Me too. If you have this kind of skill, I think you need to step out in the publishing house. What’s more, if you’re that young.”

Yajima had already explained about the siblings.

“These days, the influence of a single hit writer is greater than ever. It is right that we have to take the lead first before we have a proper place yet.”

“To be honest, I’m the same as a girl who can draw well, but I think the older brother who wrote the story is more amazing. If I build a relationship with a story writer like this, I think that one day it will become a powerful force for the publishing company.”

In general, it was the position that they should actively dash towards the sibling duo.

Until I first looked at all the manuscripts and stories, I didn’t understand the fact that most of them had such a meeting because of one rookie. However, after seeing the drawing, about half of them were convinced, and when they checked all the stories, they all turned to agree.

The editor, who kept nodding his head while listening to the opinions of such team leaders, looked at Yajima, who was sitting in a corner seat.

And then she opened her mouth.

“Then the important decision remains.”

At those words, the eyes of all the team leaders turned to Yajima.

At that time, outside the editorial department, the staff were chattering while glancing around the conference room.

“Why all of a sudden the team leaders get together and have a meeting like that?”

“Well, at first glance, it sounds like it’s because of a rookie.”

“new man? Why are those people meeting because of the rookie? Isn’t that a problem we can solve on our own?”

“I don’t know. There must be some big genius-level rookie who popped out from somewhere.”

“If you are a genius, you come to the publishing house several times a month. I’ve heard it sounds like a genius. Of course he didn’t say it, but his face was full of pride.”

“In the meantime, there are sometimes really talented kids mixed in.”

“Ah, there are only a few real gems out there. When it gets a little difficult, I whine and give up. To be honest, there are a lot of kids who don’t come back if I send them to edit the manuscript a few times.”

“That’s right, but you never know. Will they show up with an invitation like Shonen Jump’s ‘Doctor Slump’?”

“Do you know what it was that fell from the sky? It was said that the person in charge was so cruel that he destroyed more than 500 manuscripts right in front of his eyes for over a year. And that is the work that the artist endured and created.”

“Well, it was because he was a genius and a poisonous dog. There are very few people like that.”

“Yes. There are very few people like that.”

“right. At the same time, it would be even more so. I don’t know if there will ever be.”

“I don’t know if there will ever be a genius who can change the record of a book with his first work.”

“I don’t know, maybe another crazy genius will appear.”

“Ah, that’s not it.”

“uh? I think it’s over.”

“It is.”

At that moment, the door to the conference room opens and editors pour out, and they all look away from there, pretending to be engrossed in their work.

Among those who came out of the meeting room, Yajima and his team leader hurried to the seat where Jiro was sitting.

The editorial staff who saw it murmured.

“After all, you seem to be a rookie with a relationship with Yajima-senpai.”

“Is the person sitting over there the rookie?”

“Well, I guess I didn’t listen to it a while ago.”

“Then who are you?”

“I don’t know.”

The team leader and Yajima, who approached Jiro while the employees were having such a conversation, immediately took him to a quiet break room to discuss the outcome of the meeting.

And as soon as she sat down in the break room, Yajima opened her mouth.

“Akagi.”

“Yeah.”

“First. I think you have to make a decision about this.”

“A decision…?”

“okay. As long as you’re still a member of Tobu, there’s nothing we can do about this manga.”

“I know what you mean.”

“Because the editor-in-chief also said that if you make a decision, he will prepare right here.”

In fact, at the meeting, the prevailing opinion was that rather than bringing Jiro, it was better to buy the right and contact the siblings directly.

However, the editor-in-chief, team leader, and Yajima emphasized that it was right to sign Jiro. In any case, since Jiro had direct contact in Korea, it was decided that it would be good for him to be in charge.

“Yeah. Okay.”

Jiro says hello and turns around, and Yajima sees him off.

“think carefully. Siblings will trust you and wait for you.”

After leaving Mitsuda Shoten’s building, Jiro went to a bench in a nearby park and ate takoyaki while thinking.

And he immediately got up from his seat.

When Jiro returned to Tobu’s editing room, the team leader saw him and shouted with an angry face.

“Where did you go now? Do you know how many calls Ueda-sensei received?”

Because of that, Jiro bows his head.

“I’m sorry about that.”

The editor-in-chief, who looked at it from afar, is biting his tongue.

“I’m sorry, okay? It’s not difficult, but for what reason? Are you going to stop working now?”

Jiro nodded his head at the team leader’s shouting.
