I just want to draw cartoons quietly

As a native of Los Angeles, Jiang Qiu has been a loyal fan of Shuixin since Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences.

She has always paid close attention to this cartoonist who has finally come out of Los Angeles Province and has a certain reputation throughout the country.

Although Shui Xin seemed to be disliked by many people after he became famous, Jiang Qiu definitely supported him at all times.

Although Jiang Qiu is a girl, maybe she has become immune to the things that ordinary girls like after going to work. Although she also thinks Unheard Hana and Natsume's Book of Friends are pretty good-looking, but to her, it is like Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance A work with a bit of fighting and love like that is more to her liking.

Although it is still unclear what kind of work this work called Initial D is, but judging from the style of the poster, Jiang Qiu can feel that the possibility of being a manga with a girly romance style is relatively low.

It’s not that the characters in Shui Xin’s paintings are not good-looking, but that they are not suitable. This style of painting can be seen at a glance as male comics. As far as the beauty of some characters is sacrificed.

As usual, the first issue of a new work is published in two chapters, because four new works are published at the same time, so the water margin of this issue is thicker than before.

Jiang Qiu couldn't wait to compare the page numbers and flip the manga to the initial D. Shui Yuan is quite humane. The two works of Initial D and Natsume's Book of Friends are typesetting one after the other in the journal. If you are a fan of Shui Xin If you read the initial D, there is no need to look for the page number of Natsume's Book of Friends, just read the two works together.

Turning to the first page of the initial D, if you are someone who knows something about racing cars, you can understand what kind of work this is.

The title of the first episode, Ultimate Tofu Shop Drift!

Drift has many meanings in English, but one of them is to drift...

Reminiscent of the AE86 with the words Fujiwara Tofu Shop printed on it, the type of this work can basically be determined.

At the beginning of the story, it was in the mountain road in the middle of the night. Although there were few vehicles at night, the next scene...

A handsome AE86 debut......

After all kinds of speculation about Shui Xin's new work on the Internet during this period, Jiang Qiu already understood what kind of car the AE86 is on the Japanese island.

But when this civilian car appeared in the comics, it was the moment when this AE86 drifted into the corner, and the word "handsome" couldn't help but rise in Jiang Qiu's heart.

In the next few pictures, the entire body of the AE86 is depicted from various angles, and the background is deliberately blurred. Although it is only a static cartoon, Jiang Qiu who saw the picture can easily understand that the AE86 in the cartoon is at this time How fast it is.

"It's still the same!"

A car coming across from AE86 brushes past it.

The driver was a middle-aged man, looking at the 86 whose rearview mirror had disappeared, he sighed with a smile.

At the beginning of the story, Jiang Qiu didn't know who this person was, but she would understand later that this middle-aged man was Fujiwara Takumi's father, Fujiwara Bunta's friend Tachibana Yuichi, and the owner of Fujiwara Takumi's part-time gas station .

At this time, Yuichi thought it was Bunta who was driving the 86, so he sighed like this...

At the beginning of the story, there are only a few scenes of AE86's appearance, and soon, the scene turns to the school, the protagonist Fujiwara Takumi and his good friend Takeuchi.

Takeuchi is a racing fan. He wants to rely on his part-time job to earn money to buy 86 and then form the fastest 86 combination with Fujiwara Takumi.

It's just that Fujiwara Takumi is obviously not interested in this...

The previous plots are all about the relationship between the characters, the protagonist Fujiwara Takumi, the suspected heroine Natsuki Mogi, the senior who works at the gas station, the leader of the Akinayama team speed stars, Ikegani, the owner of the gas station...

A racing comic would undoubtedly be boring without a racing storyline, but fortunately, this kind of storyline ends quickly.

The turning point of the story happened when Takeuchi and Fujiwara Takumi took his S13 to watch the local drivers racing on Mount Akina at the invitation of their senior Ikegani. It just so happened that REDSUNS from the foreign team Akagi came to Mount Akina to find the fastest car here. Riders take on the challenge....

Iketani, who considers himself to be the fastest driver in Akinayama, accepted the proposal of Keisuke Takahashi, No. [-] of REDSUNS, in the name of his team's speed stars. First, he will have a friendly match on the spot, and then on Saturday, he will have an official race. .....

Basically, people who see this also understand that this is a racing comic, and at the same time, they can also feel some of the interesting aspects of this comic.

Although the pace is a bit slow, the portrayals of several characters are very interesting, the funny and naive Takeuchi, the cute but weird Mogi Natsuki, and the dull and silent Fujiwara Takumi.

And the challenge of REDSUNS and the challenge of Ikegani wiped out the dullness in front of the manga at once.

In Longguo, there are quite a few hot-blooded comics, but the racing-type works in the hot-blooded comics are indeed very rare, basically they are not very well-known works.

He is the only manga artist of Shui Xin's level who draws this type of manga.

Since Xuan Gui is so fond of Shui Xin's work, it is obvious that this work must have its own unique features compared to previous racing cartoons.

In the end, did Shui Xin really decide to serialize this work after preparing for a long time, or is it just like the rumors that he was asked by Xuan Gui to drive ducks to the shelves to create a new work just to attract people's attention and offset some negative effects after the serialization of Scarlet Abyss ended, Maybe it's enough to see if the game is exciting enough.

After all, a game can show an author's control over rhythm, plot, and atmosphere.

However, several pictures flashed by, and Jiang Qiu was a little disappointed.

Fujiwara Takumi’s senior, Ikeda, used to boast about how powerful his team’s speed stars were, but compared with the members of REDSUNS, they were all embroidered pillows and were unilaterally beaten......

That's it?

Jiang Qiu blinked. He thought that the plot would lead to the explosion of his predecessor Ikegani, let Fujiwara Takumi, a young man who had only obtained a driver's license for a month in the plot, arouse his enthusiasm for racing, and then he would worship Ikegani as a teacher, or Fujiwara Takumi would go home. As the gas station owner said, Bunta Fujiwara, the fastest driver in Akinayama, was also Takumi's father who learned his driving skills hard, and then joined Speed ​​Stars!

But in this way, where is the sense of existence of the protagonist Takumi Fujiwara?

Jiang Qiu saw that now, at least Fujiwara Takumi's friend Takeuchi took the joke. Although Ikegani was abused in the game, he worked hard, and through his plot, readers can understand how the so-called mountain road jammer race is. one thing?

But Takumi Fujiwara, who is the protagonist, was set to get his driver's license for less than a month, and he didn't have a car, and he was dumb, and he had no interest in racing, so he followed Ikegani to Mt. Going home with Chi Gu's car, he had a cute face the whole time, not interested in racing cars, competitions, winning or losing.

Could this be the main character too?Takeuchi, Takahashi Keisuke, these supporting roles have a much higher sense of presence than him, okay?

Jiang Qiu didn't even know what kind of story could be unfolded in such a set protagonist.

Could it be that the protagonist is not Fujiwara Takumi?It's Fujiwara Takumi's father... Fujiwara Bunta.

At this point in the story, most of the serialized content of the initial D of this issue has passed. If the plot of this issue does not reverse later, and it really ends like this, then Jiang Qiu will be really disappointed with Shui Xin's new work .

Jiang Qiu frowned and continued to read.

Chapter 173 AE86 of the Tofu Shop ([-])

Looking down, soon, the plot has a turning point.

Fujiwara Takumi's father, Bunta, was on the phone with Yuichi, the manager of the gas station.

When Youyi praised the 86 car that Wen sent tofu was still as fast as ever.

Wen Tai said.

As early as five years ago, the person who drove the 86 to deliver tofu was not him, but his son Takumi Fujiwara.

five years ago?

Didn't you just get your driver's license last month?

Just like in the manga, Yuichi's eyes widened, surprised that Fujiwara Takumi, who was in the first year of junior high school, drove tofu at that time.

Jiang Qiu was also surprised by Fujiwara Takumi's history of driving without a license.

All of a sudden, Jiang Qiu remembered the 86 that appeared at the beginning of the comic.

Recalling what the gas station owner said, the fastest driver on Qiu Mingshan is still galloping on this Qiu Mingshan.

As soon as the two pieces of information were combined, Jiang Qiu immediately understood that the protagonist Fujiwara Takumi was not only a novice who had just finished learning and didn’t have a driver’s license, on the contrary, he was actually an AE86 who had been running in Qiu Mingshan for five years and even drove it. Be regarded as the fastest driver of Qiu Mingshan!

All of a sudden, Jiang Xin was swept away by the disappointment that Fujiwara Takumi was the protagonist but wandering outside the main plot of the manga, and his expectations for this manga suddenly rose.

Recalling the details of the previous comics, Fujiwara Takumi, who was sitting in Ikegani’s car, said that riding in Ikegani’s car was scary. At that time, he thought it was Fujiwara Takumi, as a novice driver, and when he talked about racing with Mogi and saw those racers driving, he always had a face Uninterested expression.

Looking at it now, it seems that it was not because Fujiwara Takumi was scared because he was riding in a driver's car for the first time, but because he was scared because he was sitting in a car driven by his predecessor Iketani's poor driving skills!

interesting!

For Jiang Qiu, such a setting is enough. At least the serial plot of the first issue of Initial D has aroused her interest. Not to mention more, she will definitely buy and follow up the next issue of Shuiyuan Journal Works.

But the plot is not over yet, after the conversation between Bunta Fujiwara and Yuichi, the owner of the gas station, is over.

As soon as the comic screen changed, Keisuke Takahashi and his team members from Akagi Redsuns who had not yet left on Mt. Akina came immediately.

The hour has dawned...

Takahashi Keisuke drove his beloved car and prepared to go back, but his teammates were quickly thrown away by him.

"If you're a little more serious, can't you keep up? It's still too tender......"

Keisuke Takahashi commented on his teammates.

But the next moment, on the dark Qiu Mingshan driveway in the middle of the night, the long-sighted headlights of a car were cold.

The two lights are like the eyes of a beast, staring at Keisuke Takahashi's FC in front of it!

At first, Keisuke Takahashi thought it was his teammates following up, but when the car approached, he realized that...it was just an ordinary AE86.

Keisuke in the manga felt shameful that his car was overtaken by an 86.

But Jiang Qiu, who was watching the cartoon, and everyone else in Longguo became excited when they saw this scene.

The two cars moved one after the other on the mountain road of Qiuming Mountain, pulled away on the straight road, and then pulled in on the curve.

Although this AE86 has never surpassed Keisuke's FC, on the other hand, Keisuke Takahashi has never been able to get rid of the AE86 behind him while driving the FC with all his strength.

This is very different from the situation where Fujiwara Takumi's senior, Ikegani, can't even eat the exhaust gas of Takahashi Keisuke's teammates.

The next cartoon picture is very impactful. The two cars FC and AE86 are drifting close to each other on the corners. Keisuke Takahashi, who has been in front of him, is already a little at a loss.

Behind him, 86 couldn't get rid of him, and his expression was already a bit suspicious of life.

The visual impact brought to Jiang Qiu by this comic picture is extremely shocking.

So the car can still drive like this?

It turns out that racing drivers are such a handsome thing?

The two cars were stalemate, FC opened up the distance with 86 on the straight road, and 86 recovered the distance on the curve.

Even people who don't understand cars understand that since the 86 has horsepower and slower vehicle performance than the FC, it can still catch up with the FC so closely, which proves that the driver's skills of the 86 must be much better than Keisuke Takahashi.

After a few pages of pictures passed, the battle between 86 and FC was finally coming to an end.

Before a sharp bend, Keisuke, who is familiar with the road section, slowed down in advance, because if he didn't slow down, he would rush out of the road and there would be a deep valley below.

But the 86 behind him has already maintained its speed and rushed towards the corner at full speed.

Jiang Qiu, who has a strong sense of substitution, felt a sense of tension in her heart. She can also drive and knows what will happen if she does not slow down when passing a sharp bend.

But in the AE86 in the comics, the rear of the car swung left and right, and the whole car passed by close to the guardrail of the curve. On the body, the five characters "Fujiwara Tofu Shop" are particularly eye-catching.

"Inertial drift..." Ryosuke Takahashi looked shocked.

It took Chu Yu a long time to draw this picture before he could reflect the fast speed and the danger of the curve in the comics.

Jiang Qiu was suffocating for his breath, this scene looked so handsome.

Jiang Qiu couldn't wait to scroll down, but the next screen was the manga page of Natsume's account of friends.

Gone?

Gone! ! ! ! !

Jiang Qiu's excitement and passion brought up by the initial D was suddenly extinguished by a basin of cold water.

At this moment, Jiang Qiu realized that when watching Shui Xin's serialization of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories, his marvelous fragmented method is simply irresistible, and he just wants to rush into his house and drag him up for repairs, and then let him hurry up painting!

Who is like this?

When people's appetite is adjusted to the highest place, then it suddenly disappears. Do you know that fans have to wait a week for the next episode to be serialized?

Jiang Qiu let out a long breath, the discomfort in his heart and the sense of anticipation for the next plot never subsided, so he simply read the initial D again, and after reading it again, he discovered many details.

Even in the first chapter, there are many small foreshadowings buried.

After a long time, Jiang Qiu put together the comic journals.

She was finally relieved. Although the style of Shui Xin's work has changed quite a lot, judging from the plot at the beginning of this work, it is definitely the most exciting new manga that Jiang Qiu has read this year.

Can't wait, Jiang Qiu started to go online to check the online comments about the first chapter of Initial D.

.........

At this time, all the fans on the Internet who were attracted to buy this issue of Shuiyuan Journal have exploded.

In the major forums, there are many posts discussing the plot of Initial D.

"It's actually a car racing cartoon. I really didn't expect it, but what I didn't expect was that this comic is so explosive and beautiful. It's the plot that broke the plot. Curse Shui Xin for the rest of his life!"

"Hey, that AE86 that passed Keisuke Takahashi was driven by Takumi Fujiwara!"

"Upstairs, do you still have to ask this kind of question? Didn't you already remind me clearly? Five years ago, Takumi Fujiwara helped his family deliver tofu to Mt. The 86 I met in Mingshan was not driven by Takumi Fujiwara, who else? And in the last picture, the big characters of Fujiwara Tofu Shop printed on the body of the 86 are also very obvious, this 86 is the 86 of Takumi's family!"

"Understood, but can anyone tell me, is there a big gap between the performance of the 86 and the FC?"

"Of course it's big. Judging from the configuration of the two cars, if you use the 86 to surpass the FC, it's as outrageous as if you use the famous dragon car Wuling Hongguang to surpass the Porsche in the competition!"

"Damn it, Shuixin is such a big pit, the broken chapter technique is getting more and more perfect, and he has no character at all!"

"It's good to get used to it. Fans who came after Rurouni Kenshin's Memoirs said that this is all pediatrics... Back then, the mystery of Yukidaiba's life and death was enough to whet the appetite of fans for a week!"

"I'll go, I was blown up when I saw that 86 surpassed FC. This work really suits my appetite. I hope that the following plot is as exciting as the first issue. If it is true, I will definitely follow this comic. !"
