Rebirth as a Cooking God

Never compromise with an editor!

Two high school cartoonists who asked Xia Yu to serve as a cooking instructor made a vow.

Xia Yu said with a smile: Last time, you almost missed the Tezuka Prize for your third work because you were struggling with the royal food manga. But in the end, fortunately, you got lost in time and stuck to the original idea.

As he said this, he took the time to watch their reactions.

Takagi Akito, the tallest man in Mashiro, had his eyes evasive and the other pushed up his glasses.

Why did you suddenly come up with the idea of ​​drawing food comics this time, and why are you more enthusiastic than the last time? he was curious.

There is always a reason for being impulsive.

The two of them hesitated for a long time. Zhencheng, the tallest man, looked like he was giving it all. He took out his phone and pointed at the screen, showed it to Xia Yu in the kitchen, and swiped the content with his finger.

puff!

Turn it off! Turn it off!

Several familiar notebook storyboards flashed across his field of vision, and Xia Yu's face turned blue. Suddenly, his hands were placed on the glass between the kitchen and the bar, showing signs of blackening.

This is the Sapporo fanfic that has become increasingly popular in recent days.

Moreover, it was rumored that a second chapter was published, which caused Zhu Qing and a group of relatives and friends to look at him strangely in the past few days after returning to Tokyo. As for Nakiri Erina, she disappeared and evaporated when she returned to Tokyo. Dodge.

well!

Sensing the store owner's darkening and oppressive aura, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and Mashiro Takahiro quickly took back his phone.

After a long while, Xia Yu regained his composure and stared at them from behind the window with his arms folded.

Is that why?

Well... carefully observing Xia Yu's reaction, Takagi Akito said, Taking advantage of the popularity of the Sapporo competition, creating a food comic at this time should be able to quickly become popular. This is a royal shortcut!

Xia Yu understood.

Ah!

He laughed inwardly. 'Eri Kashiwagi', a painter who was originally in a niche circle, became famous overnight because of the fanbook of the Sapporo Games. His fame even spread to neighboring countries, and he is more famous than most jump serial manga artists. .

Popularity, popularity!

Not to mention cartoonists, in other industries, novels, games and other ACG circles, popularity means money. In terms of literature and art, only when the popularity is high can there be a large number of readers and fans.

And... Zhencheng's highest gaze was intense.

And what?

If our comic works are co-signed by Chef Xia, even if they are not serialized in Jump, they are still qualified to become super popular comic works that are popular across the country... and may even be regarded as classics and become national comics!

Two high school cartoonists, with strong expectations bursting out of their eyes.

Xia Yu is funny.

It seems that everyone wants to take a shortcut and reach the sky in one step. He doesn't blame Mashiro Takahiro and Takagi Akito for having such thoughts. Adults can't resist the temptation, let alone high school students?

He knows a little bit about the comics field.

Just like Spirit of the Shokugeki, the original manga was actually a collective creation. Yuto Tsukuda created the story, including plot, lines, etc., while Jun Saeki, the manga artist who used to draw 18-ban adult-oriented commercial manga, came ashore to clear his name. , responsible for painting.

Then, there are professional food researchers who are indispensable for good food, providing food ideas for specific situations.

Otherwise, how much information would a group of otaku cartoonists have to collect before they can imagine the food that all the characters will represent? If it consumes too much energy, you won’t be able to devote yourself to creating stories and illustrations.

If Xia Yu agrees to the two of them, the comic works that will be released after a period of time may look like this:

Work - XXXXX.

Creation - Takagi Akito, painting - Mashiro Takashi, collaboration - Xia Yu.

Regardless of the quality of the comic works, it is not difficult to imagine that as long as Xia Yu's name appears in the work introduction column, it will definitely set off a shock and discussion. As for whether it is negative or positive, who knows?

Just like a celebrity artist accepting an advertisement, Xia Yu was very cautious.

Just as the tallest man in Mashiro, Takagi Akito, was staring at him closely, waiting for a response, boom!

There was a knocking sound from the direction of the store door.

Xia's store has not resumed normal operations, and the guardrail outside clearly tells outsiders that it will not accept customers!

There will be a knock on the door, either from a rash diner or a distinguished guest.

He glanced up.

Yo—— greeting.

What a distinguished guest. IGO Neon Director Masato Kambara led a middle-aged man and a young man into the shop.

The middle-aged and young people looked around, and Shen Principle sat down in front of the bar, Have a cup of tea!

You have to turn on the stove and reward me today! I brought you an important guest!

He said sluttishly.

I, Kubo Ryunosuke. The middle-aged man came to the bar and bowed slightly to Xia Yu behind the window. His polo shirt was slightly deformed after being washed, his hair that was longer than his ears was unmanaged, and the dark bags under his eyes were obvious. He seemed to be a worker who stayed up late for a long time.

boom!

There was the sound of a stool falling nearby.

Kubo-sensei!!

A trembling cry of surprise.

The tallest man in the city, Akito Takagi, turned into a fan and bowed hurriedly at ninety degrees.

Kubo Ryunosuke, that name sounds familiar. Behind the window, Xia Yu frowned slightly. Seeing that he didn't respond, the young man wearing a white shirt and jeans who followed him had a strange look in his eyes and said, Chef Xia Don’t you know Kubo-sensei?”

Xia Yu scratched his face, embarrassed.

Masato Kanbara also looked at him in great surprise: Have you never read Death? Mr. Kubo is the author!

Xia Yu suddenly realized, So you are the one...

This Death is not that Death.

When Xia Yu first came here, he saw his classmates passing around Jump magazine and listened to them discussing Death and so on. He thought they were exactly the same works. However, he saved his own money and finally bought an issue of the magazine and came back to read it. He found that the situation was very different.

The authors are different.

Although the subject matter is similar, the content is quite different.

However, when it comes to popularity and popularity, Bleach in this space-time plane is not inferior to another Bleach. Therefore, it is no wonder that Kubo Ryunosuke, the cartoonist, let the tallest man in the city, Takagi Akito, bump into the king. Like an idol, I am terrified.

After getting rid of these thoughts, Xia Yu looked at the uncle Kubo Ryunosuke again, twitching the corner of his mouth with a weird smile.

He suddenly thought of a joke about the author of the migrant worker comic Death.

By the way, the pictures of Mr. Kubo Daito and the Mr. Kubo Ryunosuke in front of me were put together to make a spoof. I am afraid that most fans will be collectively confused. Who is with whom?

Kubo Ryunosuke sat down.

However, the tallest man, Mashiro and Takagi Akito, stepped away. No matter how Xia Yu greeted them, they did not dare to sit at the same bar with their senior.

Please use--

Handing out two cups of tea, Xia Yu looked at Kanbaru who was drinking tea, and then at Ryunosuke Kubo. Coincidentally, this popular master in the comics industry was also looking at him: It's very presumptuous to come here this time, but I came two days ago Try to contact you. I couldn't wait any longer, so I found Minister Kanbara and asked him to bring me here...

I'll just say it!

I hope Chef Xia can join my creative team. I am imagining a food comic, but in addition to all kinds of fantasy food, there is also blood, teenagers fighting for their dreams, battles, and warmth...

Your professional cooking knowledge is exactly what our team lacks!
