Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 25 Akino Mirai Bird

on Monday.

Nishimura bought a copy of "Weekly Shonen Jump" on the way to school.

After reading his favorite comics, he started to read other information in his spare time.

Recently, the shortlisted works of the "Tezuka Award" have been notified, and there will be comments from the judges, including comments from his favorite manga artist, Akira Toriyama.

"Why didn't Akira Toriyama participate in the show, sorry."

Wanting to know more about the author behind the work, he patiently watched the works shortlisted for the "Tezuka Award".

"The ratings of "Hummingbird" and "Info The Blue" are so high."

After reading them one by one, he suddenly froze, ""Soul of Chess", author Akino Tori Mirai, 17 years old, Tokyo..."

Rubbing his eyes, "It's really only 17 years old! No one who is 20 years old has heard of it! It's unbelievable."

He looked at the comments, "All the judges gave it unanimous praise. The content of the manga is coherent from beginning to end, no more, no less. The drawing is very strong, with the style of "Dragon Ball", the picture is clean, and it is very comfortable to watch."

"It's amazing!" Nishimura blinked, "The content and artistry are all well received! It's even better than other works. Have you witnessed history again!"

None of the writers selected for the "Tezuka Award" is under the age of 25, let alone 17?

"Genius! A rare genius!"

"It's a pity that the work will not be published. It's a pity."

……

Higashino woke up and was brushing his teeth in the bathroom on the second floor with his white shirt open, when he suddenly heard Takagi Kiko calling his name.

"What?" Higashino asked suspiciously as he spat out the toothpaste foam.

"There's your call. It's from someone who calls himself Sasaki."

"Thank you, I'll be right down."

"Yoshihara-so" has a landline, just at the entrance of the gate.

After Higashino rinsed his mouth, he walked out of the bathroom.When passing by Qiugong Mingmei's bedroom, she happened to come out with her hair curled up and her eyes dull.

"Good morning, Akimiya-sensei."

"Morning...you!" She turned her head slowly, looked at Higashino Hibiki to say hello, then suddenly let out a cry of surprise, lost her drowsiness, and pointed at Higashino Hibiki to blame, "Why don't you dress properly?"

Her muscular, streamlined figure and firm abs made her very embarrassed.

Cover your eyes and don't look.

"I'm sorry," Higashino buttoned it, "I used to be barebacked at home, and I didn't pay attention to dressing occasionally, and I won't do it in the future."

"Well, that's it."

She forcefully bypassed Higashino Hibiki and went to the bathroom, but she felt a little regretful.

Quickly going downstairs to the entrance, Higashino picked up the microphone.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"I interrupted so early, you are already very fast," Sasaki's voice came, "I didn't notice the time, I'm sorry here."

"Everyone is getting up and going to school, and this time is just right."

"Well," Sasaki was silent for a while, "Higashino-kun, no, I'll call you by your pen name. Mirai-sensei Akino, I specially invite you to attend the Tezuka Banquet on November 11rd."

"So...have I won the prize?"

Sasaki hesitated for a moment, "Tezuka's banquet will invite many people to participate, assistants, voice actors, cooperative companies, cartoonists... So, it can't explain anything."

Dongye Xiang's heart sank all of a sudden, and he was very cold.

"However, "Soul of Chess" is indeed on the list of winners, but I don't know the specific ranking."

"Thank you! Mr. Sasaki!" Higashino smiled, not caring about his mystification.

After hanging up the phone, he saw that there was no one around him, and jumped up dancing.

To be honest, even including the years before time travel, he has never received such a high honor, which is really a bit shameful.

But he is still a child, with the right to express his emotions and anger.

……

After eating yesterday's leftovers.

"Higashino-kun, let's go to school together." Yoshii Sanhisa walked up to Higashino Hibiki, with a backpack on his back, his eyes sparkling, and looked at Higashino Hibiki expectantly.

"Where's Miss Takagi?" Higashino asked.

The two of them are often together, Takagi Kiko likes to tease Yoshii Shanjiu very much, it feels like teasing a dog.

"Senior Takagi is off today," Yoshii Sanhisa replied.

"Yes, I forgot."

Japan has 2 to 3 days of extra vacation every month, both for students and social animals.You can choose the time yourself.

When Higashino used to watch the cartoon "Three Sisters of the Southern Family", there was a plot where the eldest sister was on vacation and the two younger sisters went to class.

I was skeptical at first, but now I understand.

So he went out and headed towards the school.

On the way, Yoshii Sanjiu looked at Higashi Higashi curiously, "I am very happy today, Higashino-kun."

"Hey, is there?" Higashino covered his upturned mouth and nodded, "I'm really happy, as happy as if I'm going to become a billionaire."

Yoshii-san seemed to understand but didn't understand, "It's a good thing, congratulations."

"Thank you."

While chatting with Yoshii Sanjiu, he saw two teenagers in front of him, Nishimura and Kitamoto.

They held the "Weekly Shonen Jump" and stared closely, eager to get in.

So he stepped forward and patted their shoulders hard, startling them.

"What are you doing?" Higashino asked.

"Ah! So it's Dongye."

"It's too much."

They complained a few words, Nishimura took the jump and handed it to Higashino like a treasure, "We are still playing around, and there are already people of the same age who have been shortlisted for the "Tezuka Award"! "

"So fast?" Higashino praised the speed of the editorial department.

Looking at the comments, he nodded, pretending not to care, and said: "Well, it's just a shortlist for the "Tezuka Award", and it's not the start of serialization, so I can't be so surprised. "

"It's so easy for you to say, bastard," Nishimura put away the manga magazine, curled his lips, "This is the "Tezuka Award", and the lowest masterpiece has a 20 bonus. 20w ah!I have never owned such a huge sum of money. "

"Higashino," Kitamoto said in support of Nishimura, "The "Tezuka Award" is the biggest award of the manga newcomer award, and it is a very great honor. "

In other words, take it easy.

"Higashino-kun, be modest." Yoshii Sanjiu advised in a low voice.

"Yes, I know."

Putting his hands in his pockets, Higashino walked towards the school.

……

In a sketching class, 12 students sit facing each other and draw each other's faces.

Opposite Hibiki Higashino is Yuko Asahina.

It has been half an hour, and her expression has not changed.

Thanks to this, Higashino draws very easily.

Putting down the pencil and looking at the drawing board, he nodded in satisfaction.

Both form and spirit, very brilliant.

It can be sold to Nishimura for [-] yen.

"Higano-kun, is it over?"

Higashino nodded subconsciously, and then woke up, "Asahina-san, are you talking?"

"Well," Yuko Asahina asked with a slight nod, "Is Higashino-kun the same as Mirai Akino?"
