Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 328 Absolutely not!
Koji Yoshida has been very busy recently.

There are many problems with the newcomer Hoshino Katsura. As an editor, he has to spend more energy on assisting Hoshino Katsura.

Omori worked very hard and would always discuss the storyboards of the work with him. After the discussion during the day, we would discuss it at night, which made him exhausted.

Fortunately, Tanaka was assigned the responsibility of editor Tetsu Hattori by the editorial department, which made him relieved.

""Puella Magi Madoka Magica" is Tori Akino-sensei's last work." After he was busy, he propped up his chin and remembered the things that made him sad, "I can't bear to part with his comics..."

"Papa," he slapped his face twice, "Yoshida, you have to work hard to serve Mr. Tori Akino. Before letting him leave, you can draw comics smoothly. There is no time to be sad."

He organized the files on his desk, stood up, and prepared to go to Tori Akino Studio to discuss the follow-up plot of "Madoka".

"Yoshida, come here."

Someone called him. Yoshida looked up and found that it was Editor-in-Chief Sasaki.

He hurriedly walked over and lowered his head, "Editor, what's the matter?"

Although Sasaki Nao's face was expressionless, Yoshida Koji could see a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

"Tori Akino-sensei is ready to close the book. Do you know about this?"

"Of course." Yoshida nodded.

His heart became heavier and heavier, and even the editor-in-chief said so. It seemed that the matter was irreversible.

Sasaki sighed and confirmed this.

"Editor-in-chief, is there anything else?" Yoshida Koji asked.

Sasaki pondered for a while, "You have been under a heavy workload recently. Teacher Tori Akino, let's change the editor to be in charge."

When Yoshida Koji heard this, his eyes widened.

"Absolutely not!" He couldn't help shouting loudly.

The noisy office was affected by this sentence and fell silent instantly.

They all looked at Yoshida and Sasaki with curiosity and fear.

After a while, under the suppression of Ping Jijiu, they started working again.

"Are you having any trouble here?" Sasaki asked Yoshida.

He paid no attention to the offense of his subordinates.

"I'm sorry, editor-in-chief," Yoshida's face turned pale with fright, and he immediately bowed and apologized.

Sasaki waved his hand to ask him to calm down, "What do you think?"

"I..." Yoshida took a deep breath, "I don't want to leave Mr. Tori Akino, and I want to accompany him to the end. This is what I have to do as his editor. Such a feeling , editor-in-chief, you will understand!”

Sasaki thought of Soma Ichiro.

The new cartoonist who was discovered by himself.

His emotions will fluctuate due to his achievements.

But in the end, Soma Ichiro never passed the serialization meeting again.

Under the arrangement of the editorial department, he notified Soma Ichiro of the out-of-combat notice.

Koji Yoshida's mood now may be the same as he was then.

"That's it." Sasaki raised his head and said, "Since you ask for it."

In fact, as an editor, you cannot refuse the arrangement of the editor-in-chief.

Kosuke Yahagi, who had put a lot of effort into "Naruto", had to abide by the arrangement of the editorial department and put down his editorship of "Naruto" when Masashi Kishimoto refused.

This is independent of human will.

"Thank you, editor-in-chief!"

Koji Yoshida kept bowing.

……

Puella Magi Madoka Magica passed the serialization meeting quickly, albeit with a sigh.

At the end of March 2004, news about Tori Akino's new work began to appear in "Weekly Shonen Jump".

People who play Go, people who play basketball, people who read comics, people who fall in love...

Countless readers began to feel happy, joyful, excited, expectant, and crazy...

"After two years, Mr. Tori Akino's new work is finally coming out!"

"Ah, I've been waiting! From junior high school to high school!"

"I wonder what kind of work the teacher will draw? Is it a sports cartoon? Or a mystery? Ah, no matter which one, I am trembling with anticipation!"

"This is the best news I've heard this spring break! It's more fun than my father taking me to France! But that Paris, France... is really bad!"

……

"Tori Akino's new work?"

This time, Yamamura Morimichi did not start a new series. His "Blind Football" still has a lot of content to draw, and it will not be completed until two, three, or more years later.

"It's been so long since "Death Note" was finished, and he finally couldn't rest anymore. It's great."

Yamamura had a smile on his face and couldn't help but feel happy.

"But Mr. Yamamura..." Yusuke Murata pointed at him, "Tori Akino-sensei has returned, and you will be under him again."

Upon hearing this, Yamamura's expression froze.

"Death... When "Death Note" was serialized, our comics surpassed it, right..."

He spoke intermittently, with a guilty expression on his face, which was very unconvincing.

"There was a period of time," Murata nodded, "but then, when "Death Note" gained momentum, it left us behind."

"Now, the average sales volume of the single volume of "Blind Football" is only about 70, while the sales volume of "Death Note" has reached 335 million. This is a huge difference."

"We were so far apart."

Yusuke Murata pointed this out mercilessly.

Yamamura Shoudao can only face the current situation.

"You're right, we have to work harder. Murata-kun, your painting skills are getting better and better. I must also come up with exciting plots to match your excellent painting skills."

……

"Tori Akino-sensei is here to seize the living space again." Masashi Kishimoto shook his head with a smile.

Until now, "Naruto" has not been as good as "Death Note".

He saw on TV that the movie version of "Death Note" would be released in two days.

"Death Note" has been animated and filmed, and I heard that a TV series version is also in the works.

This comic began to be more widely understood by the public.

It also proves that countless people recognize the plot of "Death Note".

This is something hot-blooded comics cannot achieve.

Currently, Naruto and Pirates can only rise and fall in the ACG field, and "Death Note" has opened up new channels.

If Akino Tori's new work is the same as "Death Note", then "Naruto" will definitely slide down one position.

It's just that the current Masashi Kishimoto has been polished by the Chunin Examination chapter and is no longer as immature as before. He is full of confidence in himself.

"Come on! I can't wait."

……

Today, Higashino Hibiki wrapped up his coat and accompanied Akimiya Akemi to drive out.

The child was entrusted to his grandmother's house.

Dong Yexi said that this kind of thing should happen more often.

Future also said that the food at grandma's house is still delicious, but it is better not to show up again with dad's food.

"Oh, this is Jian, do you want to go?"

As soon as the car drove out of the villa area, Hibiki met the kid next door, Ken Miyano.

The child jumped forward with a happy smile.

It was still spring break and the children didn't have to go to school. Higashino Hibiki stopped and asked with concern.

"I went to a friend's house to play." Miyano Ken said.

"Let me see you off." "No, his house is right in front."

"OK then."

Hibiki closed the car window and drove towards the cinema in Shinjuku.

"call."

Watching the vehicles gradually move away, Ken Miyano breathed a sigh of relief.

He was going to attend the premiere of the "Death Note" movie, which he had finally won the right to purchase.

If the neighbor revealed this to his parents, he would suffer.

So he rejected Hibiki Higashikata and took a taxi by himself.

"Come on, I'll see Mr. Toriakino soon."

He heard that Tori Akino would also attend this premiere in the future, and he couldn't wait to go and see it.

……

After Hibiya Hibiki and Akimiya Akemi parked their cars, surrounded by staff, they walked towards the backstage of the theater.

Akimiya Akemi discovered that there were many underage children among the audience who came to watch "Death Note". She was curious about this: "What is the rating of "Death Note"?"

"G-level," director Shusuke Kaneko explained, "is the general public level."

Although "Death Note" is a dark comic, there are no violent or bloody scenes in it.

"Thank you."

"fine."

……

The movie is about to start, and the audience is already full of people.

Shusuke Kaneko responded to reporters’ questions.

He said that the context of the film was based on the comics, and because the story itself was good enough, he rarely made any changes except to deal with the strong confrontation required by the film.

Ken Miyano was sitting in the back row of the theater, looking up with his head raised. Thanks to his small stature, he had just entered junior high school and did not affect the audience behind him, so there was no quarrel.

"Tori Akino-sensei hasn't appeared yet? I'm really looking forward to it."

It's just that he was sitting in the back row and couldn't see the interviewee at all.

I can only see a vague shadow.

"Tori Akino-sensei, have you seen the "Death Note" movie? I wonder what your evaluation is?"

Finally, it was time for Tori Akino Mirai's interview. Ken Miyano watched with wide eyes. What made him angry was that he couldn't see Tori Akino Mirai's appearance.

"Ahem, I haven't watched it yet."

Tori Akino spoke up in the future, and the audience immediately burst into cheers and thunderous applause.

Miyano Ken felt that this voice was very familiar. He had heard it somewhere.

"Eh? Why?"

"Because I want to see this work from the audience's perspective, I have been waiting until now."

"Then you really trust Director Kaneko."

"That's right. Director Kaneko's movie will definitely be well received. I also have to thank him for making "Death Note" more known to everyone."

"Thank you for your trust, teacher." Shusuke Kaneko bowed slightly, "I'm really scared."

"I mean everything I say."

"Then I'll be even more nervous, haha."

After the interview warm-up was over and before the movie was about to start, an invited reporter suddenly asked a question.

"Tori Akino-sensei, I heard that you are going to release a new work. The specific content is not disclosed on the jump. What is the name of your new work?"

Dong Yexiang looked around and found that many people were looking at him curiously.

He pursed his lips and said, ""Puella Magi Madoka Magica".

"Ha!" The crowd exclaimed.

……

"Death Note is so interesting." Hibiki Higashino said with relish on the way home after watching the movie.

"Aren't you very narcissistic?" Akimiya Akemi snorted, "Except for Naomi Misora, the content of the movie is no different from the manga."

In the movie "Death Note", Yue still picked up the Death Note, and then began to judge criminals and embark on the road to becoming a god.

Through the live TV broadcast, L deduced that Kira was in the Kanto region of Japan, and through the time of Yue's crime, he deduced that Kira was a student.

Yue revealed information, L reasoned that Kira was a family member of the police, and FBI agent Lei began to follow Yue.

Yue Xiatao killed Lei.

After that, Misora ​​Naomi investigates and Yue is Kira.

In the manga version, it was Tsuki who tricked out Naomi Misora's identity and made Naomi Misora ​​commit suicide through the Death Note.

In order to reach the climax and create a more intense plot conflict in the movie, Misora ​​Naomi kidnapped Yue Yagami's girlfriend and threatened Yue to kill herself, thus revealing that she was Kira.

But in the end, Misora ​​Naomi accidentally shot Yue's girlfriend and committed suicide due to guilt.

A seemingly absurd plot.

But all this is Yue's conspiracy.

These are all plays he performed through Death Note.

First, he solved Misora ​​Naomi, and second, his girlfriend was killed. Because of Kira, he used his girlfriend's death as an excuse to join L's team.

"But this section is indeed adapted very well," Hibiki Higashino said. "The movie performance is more effective. The plot of the comic section is a bit boring at the end of the movie."

"The plot of the movie also reflects Yagami Yue's cold-bloodedness, and the characters have tension and charm, don't they?"

This is a reasoning content that is not inferior to that of the "Death Note" manga.

After reading this paragraph, Higashi Yehira realized that his trip was worthwhile.

"Yeah... yes." Akimiya Akemi nodded.

When the movie was put there, the audience all screamed out in surprise, and the effect was amazing.

Presumably among these people there will be second or third time fans, and when the second part of the movie is released, they will be the first to watch it.

……

They are almost home.

Akimiya Akemi struggled for a long time and couldn't help but ask: "Why did you reveal "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" in the interview?"

“Readers will always know, it’s okay to be a little early.”

"But judging from everyone's reaction, they are very disappointed."

When a shounen manga artist says he wants to draw magical girls, his previous audience will not be satisfied no matter what they think.

"I will be disappointed in the future." Higashino Hibiki glanced at the left rearview mirror carelessly, then turned left and entered the villa gate.

Akimiya Akemi saw his calm reaction and relaxed herself.

Tori Akino is not disappointed because of the readers' disappointment, which means that he has his own ideas.

"Puella Magi Madoka Magica" is not as simple as its name.

Higashikata is confident, so she doesn't have to worry.

……

When the Miyano couple returned home, they saw their child looking completely lost.

"What's wrong? Ken, what happened?" Seeing his appearance, Mrs. Miyano walked over and hugged him in her arms, asking gently.

"Nothing," Ken Miyano shook his head.

"Just say it."

"Okay, it's a writer I like, but the new work he's about to publish is not my... my favorite subject matter."

Tori Akino-sensei draws magical girls?Do not make jokes.

"Oh, that's right. Haven't you seen it yet? When you see it, you may have unexpected thoughts." Mrs. Miyano comforted him.
