1983 Past Life Manga King

A glider-like flying object flying in the sky with a vast background visible.

As soon as the video started, Seon-hee was immersed in the big screen with an expression that seemed to be sucked into the video.

Guys from the Country (2) [Free Last]

After a couple of hours, Seon-hee can’t take her eyes off the screen while the screen brightens and the ending credits go up.

And she sits still, even when the end credits are all over.

Everyone in the theater got up from their seats, and everyone was in the mood to leave. But why the hell is he looking at the blank screen?

Even though there are not many people left in the theater, they keep doing that.

“It’s Seon-hee.”

“·················ogue.”

“It’s Seon-hee.”

After a few more pats on the shoulder, he turns his head and looks up at me.

It’s like waking up right away.

“Go. done.”

As I said with a smile, I rolled my eyes, and then I opened my mouth, which I had closed tightly.

“······uh.”

He nodded his head and stood up.

Boy, it looks like you’re quite shocked by the manga.

By the way, if you let your mind wander even for a moment, you might lose this guy. You have to get her mind right.

So I left the theater with Seon-hee, who seems to have not yet awakened from her dream. Then he asked as he walked down the hall of the theater.

“What were you staring blankly at?”

“······I do not know.”

“do not know? Did you just bruise?”

I thought for a while whether the word bruised was strange, but soon I rolled my eyes again, thought about something, and opened my mouth.

“It’s just that scenes keep popping up in my head.”

“·················ogue.”

The culture shock seems certain, but I don’t know if it was moved or if there was confusion.

Well, it would be unreasonable to understand Seon-hee’s thoughts in the first place.

Still, it’s the first time I’ve had a reaction like this, so it’s interesting.

“Yeah, how do you feel after watching it? Did you have fun?”

“······Huh. very.”

As if Seonhee was satisfied, she raised the corner of her mouth slightly and smiled.

She’s been feeling lately, but this guy, her expression is getting richer little by little. Mom will cry when she sees this again.

But it was then.

As we exited the hallway and entered the spacious hall, a group of people approached us. However, the people around them seem to sneak away from them.

Like the miracle of Moses.

Their chatter is getting louder and louder.

“Wow, it’s well made as rumored.”

“Yeah, the anime serialized manga has been transferred to the theatrical version very well.”

“I liked the video that started slowly.”

But there are voices of dissatisfaction.

“Still, it didn’t seem like the end. It seems that Nausicaa’s sacrifice ended it in a rush.”

“Probably because the comic strip hasn’t finished yet. He may not have had any concrete thoughts on the ending.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Hagi-ya, I started at the suggestion of Toshio Suzuki.”

“But overall it was fine. It feels good to have a catastrophic future.”

“Still, I wish there was a bright image like Conan.”

“Hey, Conan has an original in the first place.”

“Still, it is quite different from the original content.”

“right.”

They are really otaku.

Because conversation itself is impossible without a lot of information.

That’s why, without realizing it, I listen to people’s conversations.

The thought of curious about the otaku of this time, perhaps the early generation, seems to be instinctive.

However, I feel like Seon-hee is also paying attention to the conversations of those people. If this was expressed in a cartoon, it would probably feel like the cat’s ears would prick up and tickle over that little head.

“By the way, it seems that the popularity of the doujinshi has risen quite a bit since Comiket sold 150 doujinshi. I went to a cafe event yesterday, and people seemed to recognize it quite a bit.”

“Oh, right?”

“And do you know who came to the cafe event?”

At the man’s words, people’s eyes in the crowd gather at once.

“who?”

“Do not be surprised to hear.”

“Who is it that sets the mood like that?”

“Speak quickly. You crazy.”

“okay. Quickly!”

When people shout, the people around them frown and move further away from them.

Someone whispered, “I really hate it. those people.” Also, some people mumble, saying, ‘There are other people like that.’(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The term ‘otaku’ was not yet known to the general public, so the word ‘otaku’ is not heard around.

In fact, the term otaku was officially known to the general public in 1983 when an article was published in a magazine called (Manga Britco).

Malone said in that article that otaku were referring to each other, so it seems they have been using it since before.

However, it is not yet widely known to the general public.

In fact, there was a separate incident that made otaku popular with the general public.

There was a case that shocked Japan in 1988-89 with the infant serial murder case.

As a result of the search of the house of Tsutomu Miyazaki, the protagonist of this case, various comic books and videos were released, and the fact that he was an otaku became known and the world became known as an otaku.

After this incident, Japanese society had an aversion to the word otaku, and it is said that at that time, otaku were not able to publicly say that they liked anime and manga in crowded places. Fortunately, it is said that the atmosphere has subsided a lot because of the appearance of Evangelion in 1995.

Well, anyway, by today’s standards, it’s a future thing, and it’s still a time when people were only treated as strange people.

These otakus are also immersed in their own stories as if they don’t care if the people around them do it or not.

“Isn’t that the red comet voice actor?”

“Hey! Really!”

“Really!”

“Really, Char’s voice actor, Ikeda-sama, came directly?”

“okay. Still, that caused a stir in our research group.”

“Damn, I should have taken a day off from work or anything.”

He realistically pretended to be a man with heavy hair plucking his hair.

‘Red Comet’ is the nickname of ‘Char Aznable’, a popular character in ‘Mobile Suit Gundam’.

The popularity of Gundam at that time was unimaginable, but in particular, the main character, Amura, and the opponent, Char Aznable, were the most popular.

Of course, in ‘Mobile Suit Z Gundam’, which will start airing next year, Char’s popularity will explode. To some extent, when he became a lost child at the end of the airing, there was even a massive suicide riot among female students.

Of course, it ended roughly by explaining that the director, Yoshiuki Tomino, was not dead, and in fact, a few years later, in the movie version of ‘Mobile Suit Gundam Char’s Counterattack,’ he turned into a villain again, and ended up fighting fiercely with the protagonist Amuro Rei. I did it though

It is also famous that the angry director deliberately destroyed Char’s image due to the polarity of the fans.

That being said, the nickname of director Tomino is not ‘Tomino of annihilation’ for nothing.

“There is also a Macross video screening on Saturday. Especially the deal mainly to show the Itano Circus scene.”

“Wow, there must be a lot of real otaku.”

“Isn’t Itano Ichiro going to come directly?”

“If you come, will all otakus from all over the country gather?”

“Didn’t there say that there was a movie version coming out?”

“The deal will come out around July. Directed by Shoji Kawamori.”

“Wow, I’m really looking forward to this theatrical version. But they say the story is different from the TV version.”

“I don’t need anything else. It should be the Itano Circus.”

“I’m looking forward to Minmay’s song.”

Most of the conversations are what the general public should be hearing. But it’s me, the times are different, but because I’m an otaku of this era. There is also a lot of interest in this era.

However, as soon as Seon-hee felt bored, she immediately turned her gaze to another place.

Come to think of it, I am turning my attention to the canteen in the theater, the popcorn there.

“Do you want to eat again?”

He nodded her head at that.

But then, she felt something moving back and forth under her feet.

“uh?”

Strangely, it was a cat under his feet. Coincidentally, a white cat.

However, this guy is somehow very similar. maybe not

“Seulgi.”

Strangely, Seon-hee calls her Seol-gi.

“Hey, what is seolgi?”

But the boy’s eyes.

right.

This guy is definitely Snow White.

Nyaaaan.

“Hey, how the hell did you get here?”

I looked at him with a blank expression on my face.

There’s no way he could have bought his ticket and got on a plane.

I sometimes forget that this guy isn’t a normal cat, but when he sees something like this for sure, I think he’s some kind of monster.

What is the real identity of this guy?

Seon-hee looks back at the supermarket in the theater holding Baek Seol-gi. But this guy, Snow White, is also looking in the same direction.

The two of you are doing very well.

“Okay. I’ll buy it, so wait a minute.”

Having said that, I went into the supermarket and bought popcorn and a hot drink.

But for some reason, Seon-hee is nowhere to be seen.

“Where did this guy go?”

For a moment, I panicked and looked around. However, it is not easy to find due to its small size.

When I suddenly lost Seon-hee in a foreign country, I was embarrassed without knowing it.

Did something spark your curiosity?

As I looked around, my eyes went to the place where people were buzzing.

It was a noisy otaku group. But the words that came out of it caught my attention.

“He’s really great.”

Thinking about it, I approached him and looked at him and saw Seon-hee in the crowd.

But what is he doing there?

When I went through the crowd, I saw that I was drawing among the people.

I’m drawing the giant insect Omu that appears in Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, which I saw in the theater earlier.

“Wow, that’s great. He draws really well.”

“Isn’t she Miyazaki-sensei’s daughter?”

People laugh at that.

“You look cute, but you can even draw a picture. That’s great.”

After Seon-hee has finished drawing, she hands it over to a young woman.

The woman who received the picture became a moved face.

“Thanks. Now, this is as promised.”

Appointment? What do you mean?

The item the woman handed over was Teto, the fox squirrel from Nausicaa, and a model garage kit.

The garage kit is a resin character doll similar to a kind of figure made by pouring resin into silicone.

At that time, I heard that it was made mainly by Japanese clubs.

Anyway, Seon-hee, who accepted the Teto model, seemed to like it, hugged her tightly to her chest, stepped back from there and approached me, and people’s eyes focused on us.

“Can you tell me what your name is?”

When the woman who received the picture asked a question, Seon-hee gave a small answer.

“······Sunny.”

“Kyaak, your pronunciation is so cute.”

“Is your real name Sani?”

“Sunny.”

Hey, Seon-hee, don’t ask for anything unreasonable. They’re overdoing it, and turn their tongues around.

Anyway, people waved their hands to Seon-hee, and they rushed away again.

Such kindness in such a short time.

It’s amazing to see another side of Seon-hee.

by the way······.

“Where has this white cat gone?”

“To see a friend.”

“friend? Do you have any friends in Japan?”

“I see.”

Anyway, that’s a weird cat.

I looked around the city until evening and came into the mansion, and the house was filled with a good smell.

Seon-hee rushes into the house with her twinkling eyes, and Ji-ro is in the kitchen.

“I bought some food. You must have only eaten outside, so I’ll make your own dinner. You can look forward to it.”

At that moment, Seon-hee’s eyes twinkled.

“Hey, I’m going to drool.”
