A middle school cartoonist

Chapter 358 Is this a coincidence?

Although the comic "Madoka" and its author [Makoto Shinkai] have been cursed by many readers in recent times; although judging from the current development of the plot, Sayaka's transformation into a witch has not only become an established fact, There is even a high possibility of dragging down another magical girl Kyoko; although the subsequent plot development of "Madoka" has already announced to readers that the manga has completely shifted from "healing" to "depressing"... But if "Madoka" If you suddenly announce the suspension of publication, readers will definitely not agree!

Therefore, after some so-called experts and professors issued a high-profile boycott declaration, the comic "Madoka" was not boycotted by readers as they expected, but it ushered in a craze... Many people have not read "Madoka" Readers of "Circle", after seeing the declarations of some so-called experts and professors, became curious and wanted to see what the comic was about, and it actually caused such an effect!

Therefore, of course, the number of readers who were tricked and killed has not decreased because of this, but has entered a sustainable development model of [increasing day by day]... Human beings are indeed very strange creatures!

So the current situation is like this. There are more and more readers supporting "Madoka", and some so-called experts and professors frequently appear in various programs, and have made many alarming remarks several times. The content of the comic "Madoka" is harmful to boys and girls... Moreover, these sanctimonious [human-skinned beasts] also used the topic to take the harmfulness of the comic "Madoka" to a new level. From the comic Endangering the physical and mental health of boys and girls directly sublimates the healthy growth of the next generation, and even involves issues such as the future survival of the country...

Just like in Game of Thrones, playing cards can save the world... According to some experts and professors, reading comics can destroy the world! I have to say that human beings’ ability to associate is indeed infinite!

Although it is undeniable that some experts and professors have good intentions, but for those experts and professors who are accustomed to standing on the so-called "righteousness" or "the highest point of morality" and acting as "the agents of justice partners", it is already difficult for them to The remarks that were originally full of good intentions gradually became distorted... just like an uncle who wanted to become a [Partner of Justice], and in the process of chasing, he gradually lost himself in the pursuit of justice. on the road!

As the culprit of the incident, the cartoonist named [Shinkai Makoto] was not affected at all!

Inspired by "Madoka", the child Eiji Niizuma started experimenting with his own comics and began to add some in-depth content to the comics... Although this bold attempt was stopped by the editor Yujiro more than once, But judging from the recent comic ranking results, the visual effect is pretty good... Of course, this is only a good thing!

As for the bad side... A kid named Eiji Niizuma has mentioned to his editor-in-chief Yujiro more than once that he wants to apply to the editor-in-chief to cut the manga "ZOMBIE GUN" in half, just like how he cut "CROW" in half! However, what Eiji Niizuma proposed this time was not because he felt it would be boring to continue drawing, but because he was inspired by "Madoka" and wanted to draw a comic with a similar style... Read as "Healing" 】This kind of writing【depressing】!

This also gave editor Yujiro another reason to hold a grudge against a certain middle-class cartoonist... After all, the root cause of Eiji Niizuma's recent unusual and troublesome behavior is undoubtedly Takahashi Makoto!

Of course, compared to Yujiro, Yoshida said that it was more stressful to directly face himself as a middle-class manga artist!

"Eh? Cheng, didn't you say that Shinzuma-kun was in charge of the recent manga draft of "Madoka"? Why..." When I arrived at Makoto Takahashi's house, I saw a copy of "Madoka" placed on the table. When reading the manga manuscript, Yoshida had the same look of surprise on his face as when he saw the little sea otter working hard to draw the manga!

"The eternal system is operating...Except for the calculation of skills to maintain the normal operation of the body, all the remaining power is switched to [comic manuscript construction]...beep...because the soul fluctuations of my beloved cat are detected, [cannot interact with humans] Communication mode] will be released in one hour..."

"..." At this time, should I say, 'Takahashi Makoto, you chuunibyou really know how to play'...?

"An abnormal reaction in the soul fluctuation of my familiar cat was detected, triggering the automatic alert system... Before the [Unable to communicate with humans mode] is lifted, once my familiar cat speaks human language, it will automatically and forcibly switch to [annihilate and obliterate]. Mode... Friendly reminder, before triggering this mode, please prepare a last message to your family!”

After seeing Makoto Takahashi put down his paintbrush and slowly pull out the magic sword, Yoshida covered his mouth and suppressed the words that came to his lips! After staring angrily at Makoto Takahashi who had entered [Cartoonist] mode for a long time, Yoshida picked up the manga manuscript of "Madoka" on the table and looked through it with a gloomy expression!

"When the Soul Stone becomes dark and filthy, it will become a [Seed of Lament], and we will be born as witches like Sayaka... This is the last secret of the Soul Stone! This is also the body We, as magical girls, have an inescapable fate! "Although the relationship between magical girls and witches has been revealed in the comics before, when Yoshida saw it again, he still couldn't let go...

"This is not true... It's a lie..." In the comics, Madoka knelt down in front of Homura Akemi and Kyoko, looking at the body of Sayaka who had lost her soul, and bowed her head and refused to accept the fact, "Sayaka chose to become a witch girl in order to protect humans from witches and to become a partner of justice, but..."

But now Sayaka has become a witch who was once the target of the magical girl's crusade! For Sayaka, who is determined to eliminate witches, protect humans, and become a partner of justice, this is not so much a trick of fate, but a super excessive joke played by fate! And this... is what makes Yoshida feel really depressed!

"Wishes carry curses! Whoever Sayaka saves, someone else will be cursed..." Yoshida was a little surprised to see Homura Akemi say such words calmly in the comics! Kyoko, who is also a witch girl, became extremely angry after knowing the truth about the magical girl. Although Kyoko couldn't think calmly for a while due to her personality... But in comparison, Homura Akemi's reaction was too calm, right? No, this should be considered heartless!

The part about Anzi's memories was already published in the previous issue of Shonen Jumk. Although Yoshida had heard from Makoto Takahashi that the next part would be about Sayaka, who became a witch, and the love-hate relationship with the magical girl Anzi, the content of this episode of Madoka Magica did not include any related plot! It's not that Makoto Takahashi suddenly changed the plot, but...

"The plot was deliberately delayed to give readers the illusion that Sayaka could still be saved, and they were looking forward to the development of "healing", but the content afterwards was a "depressing" ending with both the witch and the magical girl killed... Tsk! If I hadn't heard about this development from Makoto, I would probably be like the readers, full of expectations and being tricked by a weird and second-year cartoonist!" Yoshida glanced at Makoto Takahashi who was drawing, but couldn't help muttering in his heart, "Sure enough... Makoto deliberately drew it like this?"

"...Our civilization has created the technology to convert the emotions of intelligent life forms into energy, but unfortunately, we no longer have emotions... You who have become the Soul Stone "You guys, when your souls burn out and turn into [Seeds of Sorrow], a huge amount of energy will be released, and it is our job as incubators to recycle this energy!"

"Are we consumables? Do we have to die for you?"

"...Your human value standards are incomprehensible to us? Why do you make a fuss about the death of an individual? I am just here to explain, to make you understand how wonderful your sacrifice will bring... If you want to sacrifice to extend the life of the universe, you can tell me at any time, I will wait for you..."

Although the conversation between Madoka and Kyubey almost occupied the content of this episode, Yoshida did not find it boring, but was surprised and speechless! The girl signed a contract with hope to become a magical girl, and then became a witch with despair and curse... All this is for the continuation of the universe! Although it sounds reasonable, it is indeed a very valuable and great thing. At least from the perspective of [righteousness] or [moral high point], there seems to be no problem... However, when Yoshida carefully thought about Kyubey's words, he had a creepy feeling!

Wait... Yoshida felt an inexplicable similarity to Kyubey's remarks, as if he had heard it somewhere before...

"In order to prevent violent and bloody comics like "Madoka" from harming the physical and mental health of boys and girls, I urge everyone to boycott this comic..."

"For the growth of the next generation and the future of the country, it is recommended that comics like "Madoka" be suspended indefinitely..."

"For..."

"..."

"The Eternal System is being discontinued..." Just as Yoshida was still immersed in a certain thinking mode, Takahashi Makoto put down his brush and looked at Yoshida with a smile, "Hey, my cat, you look thoughtful... Did you think of something interesting?"

"Almost, almost... right? So the misfortune you mentioned before, Cheng, refers to this! Using the character Kyubey in the comics... Although their words are a bit exaggerated, but..." Yoshida put down the comic manuscript in his hand, and a strange look appeared on his face... If you look closely, you will find that the corners of Yoshida's mouth have begun to twitch slightly! "...Speaking of which, Cheng, are you really a man when you draw like this?"

"A man!" Takahashi Makoto patted his chest with full of vigor, and put on a proud look of "Trust me, I'm absolutely right"... But this state only lasted for less than three seconds, and Takahashi Makoto lay on the desk with a face full of resentment, fixed the manuscript with his chin, and muttered while drawing the comic manuscript, "Tsk! I didn't expect the King of Black Flame to awaken so quickly! Although I knew that this would happen from the beginning, but... I still feel a little unhappy! It was clearly agreed that the next plan could only be started after "Madoka Magica" was completed!"

"Now we are not talking about Eiji Niizuma, but the content of this episode of "Madoka Madoka", right?" Seeing Makoto Takahashi's tangled and depressed look, Yoshida couldn't help but complain, "When facing those comments, I was a little surprised by your calm and nonchalant performance, but I didn't expect that your counterattack had been arranged long ago... Eh? Wait! By the way, Makoto, you didn't..."

"... There is no possibility of pre-arrangement!" Makoto Takahashi narrowed his right eye and displayed the master-level [Mind Reading] skill, sneering at Yoshida who was obviously hit by the heart, "The reason is very simple... Everything is the choice of Steins; Gate, that's all!"

Is it this excuse again? Yoshida shook his head silently and did not agree with Makoto Takahashi's explanation! Because this time...

If all this is a coincidence... Isn't it a bit too coincidental?
