Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 68 Araki
The giant panda Lingling is very cute, but he has his back to the tourists and doesn't respond at all.

The Japanese people were still cheering, yelling "Kawaii~" and "Here, here" one after another.

Higashino Hibiki was next to a female high school student, her smooth thighs were exposed in winter, and the voices of the little girls were sweet and greasy, Higashino Hibiki couldn't stand it anymore.

While Shaanxi also has giant pandas, Sichuan has significantly more.

Higashino shouted "Lingling" in Mandarin, but it scratched its butt but didn't respond.

Akimi also learned to call out, but remained unmoved.

So Higashino imitated the Sichuan accent he learned on the Internet, "Guolai! Guolai!" He yelled twice.

"Eh? What are you talking about?" Akimi asked in confusion without looking up.

"Guolai!" Higashino called out again.

Lingling sat up suddenly, rubbed his head, turned over, and looked towards Dong Yexiang.

"Amazing!"

"so cute!"

Everyone cheered.

Limbs on the ground, black and white color matching, dark circles under the eyes, extraordinarily cute.

It stared at Higashino for a long time, then crawled up to Higashino Higashino called "Guolai", and stared at him suspiciously.

As if to say, "Who is this guy?"

"Guolai!" Higashino called out again.

Ling Ling shook his whole body, sat opposite Dong Yexiang, waved his paw at him, and smiled cutely.

"What spell is this?"

"He seems to understand what you say!"

"so smart!"

Higashino Higashi quickly captured the cute and clumsy giant panda.

"Thank you very much!" Higashino bowed.

Lingling waved his hands, yawned, and walked back lazily.

The time limit for Higashino Hibiki's group of people has come, and they lined up to go out.

Miss Qiugong was very excited, she grabbed Higashino Higashiki's clothes and shook them non-stop, "What did you just say? Why did Lingling react!"

"Yes, yes!" someone shouted behind him.

The position that was supposed to be the northwest duo was taken by those female high school students. They were pushed aside, trembling.

The female high school students raised their heads and looked at Higashi Higashi with admiration, their eyes shining "not working".

"Brother, what did you just say?"

"It's amazing, brother."

Higashino smiled and before he could say anything, he was dragged away by Akemi Akimiya, "Hurry up, everyone in front is gone!"

"What?" The female high school students waved helplessly at Hibiki Higashino, and one of them, the tall and slender Hero Naga, shouted, "I am Ritsuko Kurata, Class 1, Grade 3, Ueno High School!"

Higashino breathed a sigh of relief when he came to a place where there were few people.

"What's next? Which venue?" he asked.

Then he saw three people with akimbo in front of him.

"What did you just say?" They were curious.

"Maybe Lingling is homesick." Higashino replied.

……

In the Cangwu comic shop, the store manager Yoshida has ugly eyes.

Shueisha distributed 500 copies of "Soul of Chess", which is enough for a large comic shop like him.

However, 300 copies have been sold, and the long line outside the store still shows no sign of decreasing.

"How did this happen? Didn't Shueisha do any investigation?"

These are living performances, but because there are not enough booklets, let them run away.

"Hurry up and call Shueisha, let them hurry up and send another batch, 500...1000 copies!"

"Following this trend, it may not be enough."

……

The jump editorial office is in shambles right now, with distributors all over the country on the phone.

"Yes, yes, negotiating."

Sasaki hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief.

The current situation is the contradiction between the huge demand and the too small quota of "Soul of Chess".

"The first edition of volume 10w is still too small." Sasaki shook his head. He knew this would happen a long time ago, but Nobuhiko Horie has always insisted on his own opinion, and now he is finally in a panic.

"If you want to observe first and then print, it will not work at all."

He looked at the conference room, Nobuhiko Horie and the deputy editor-in-chief were discussing urgently to determine the number of reprints.

Half an hour later, Horie Nobuhiko came out with a very bad expression, and informed the editors of the editorial department, "It has been confirmed that 30 volumes will be reprinted. Hurry up, it will be laid in Tokyo in three days, and the whole country will be laid in seven days."

"Notify the dealers and issue a notice."

After speaking, he put on his coat and hurried out.

Sasaki understood that he was going to communicate with the printing factory.

……

On January 8th, Shueisha New Year's Party.

After a year, Higashino came to this venue again.

This time he saw the popular Araki Hirohiko teacher.

Several heavyweight manga artists gathered together to listen to Yoshihiro Togashi from the innermost.

He ended "Yu Yu Hakusho" like a sinking boat, which is big news for the entire jump comic circle.

The editorial department, which has always been tough, actually let him finish. Everyone was very curious, and some looked at him like a hero.

It was Akira Toriyama-sensei.

He was amazed and very envious.

Mr. Araki was shaking the champagne, watching this scene with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and did not join in.

"Teacher Araki," Higashino picked up the Coke and walked over to him, toasting him, making him dazed for a while.

"you are?"

The two of them hadn't communicated yet, and Araki didn't know who this familiar boy was for a while.

"The author of "Soul of Chess", Mirai Tori Akino," Higashino introduced himself. He carefully looked at Araki's face. The 35-year-old middle-aged man is still very delicate and rich in collagen.

"Oh!" Araki suddenly realized, "It's the genius manga artist Akino Tori. I often read your manga, and you draw very well."

"It's still far from you and me," Higashino said.

Araki's style is unique. Apart from the muscular macho in Fist of the North Star, he also has unique content.

Such as the famous Araki line.

Draw lines on the face of the character to make it more three-dimensional and enrich the expression of the character.

This is the ability that Higashino Hibiki does not have.

Higashino Higashino can only learn from the paintings of his predecessors. If he doesn't talk about the characteristics, people will understand, "Oh! It's a painting by Akino Tori."

"What's the matter with you?" Araki asked.

He was a charming man, refined and well kept.

No procrastination, life is very rhythmic.

Higashino admires this very much, so let's get acquainted with it.

"I'm actually a loyal reader of the jojo series, and I would like to ask you to sign it."

Higashino handed over a signed copy and waited expectantly.

One of the perks of being a cartoonist is that you can ask for autographs from these colleagues.

"Thank you," Araki said, and he began to write "swish".

I took the time to draw a Q version of Kishibe Rohan.

This is his projection on jojo's fourth manga, Two-dimensional's Araki.

"To Akino Mirai, I wish you a happy life——Araki Hirohiko."
