Chapter 678: Depression Healed!
"It's up to you to initiate the change and change the current ...... of the weekly" muttering the crazy ambition of a certain middle two manga artist, Yoshida, the editor-in-charge of a certain weekly, couldn't help but say something strange, as if he was moved, and fell into deep thought...... Just when a certain middle school cartoonist was about to further talk about his great ambition, Yoshida took a deep breath, and then let out a shocking roar, "Ah Cheng, you guy...... Don't be too presumptuous!"
"Oh, it's rare that you have the courage to resist me, my dependent cat......" Although his face was still covered with a [happy] smile, Takahashi's tone became rare and serious, "For the sake of your courage, my dependent cat, this time I will make an exception to forgive you for the crime of disrespect to me!"
“…… Makoto, are you serious?" Ignoring Makoto Takahashi's ridicule, Yoshida looked serious and confirmed to a secondary manga artist again, "The reason why you created and serialized the manga "Fate...... Is it really with the attitude of "wanting to change the current weekly"?"
"No, the reason why Ah Cheng serialized the comics is definitely to abuse the reader to get [pleasure] ......Uncle Ding Ding, who pretended to finish the comic manuscript seriously, after hearing Yoshida's question, couldn't control the power of the desolation in his body, and couldn't help but muttered a sentence of complaining, and then ...... As soon as the words fell, Uncle Ding Ding saw a few sticking brushes suddenly appear on the table, swallowed his saliva hard, and immediately squinted his eyes over there in a panic A second-class cartoonist admitted his mistake, "Ah, I know, I know! Ah Cheng, I'm very sorry! It's me who got carried away!"
"Should I say Ah Cheng, your ideal is very great...... Or should you say that your idea is too naïve?" Yoshida sensibly ignored the picture of [manga artist bullying assistant], and naturally continued the topic just now, "It's ...... to want to change the pattern of weekly magazines just because of just one popular manga"
"Unless there is a miracle, this kind of thing simply can't be done...... That's what you want to say next, right?" Makoto Takahashi used [Pseudo Infinite Sword Brush Version] to punish Uncle Ding Ding who intervened in the conversation indiscriminately, and once again shifted his attention to Yoshida, the editor in charge, "My family cat, your thoughts are not wrong...... But alas, you overlooked a very important thing!"
"Cheng, do you mean the influence of cartoonists...... "Yoshida pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then said his conjecture, but immediately denied it!" "Although this manga was jointly completed by Makoto and his new wife, Eiji-sensei...... But with the influence of the two of you in the weekly magazine now, you won't be able to change the pattern of the weekly magazine, right!?"
"As a cartoonist, is it very difficult to think of this with the wisdom of the entire editorial side, but unfortunately...... "Makoto Takahashi crossed his hands in front of his chest and continued to tease Yoshida in a regretful tone, "And the influence of the manga artist or something...... Poofhahaha
"I want to change the ......landscape of the weekly magazine with a manga," Yoshida sighed helplessly, and then couldn't help but ask, "Isn't that arrogance?"
"The manga "Fate" is a masterpiece...... I think I told all of you before, right?" Makoto Takahashi stopped laughing and immediately changed to a fanatical look, "Because it's a god's work, it creates miracles...... Isn't that a matter of course?"
"Self-confidence is a good thing, but Makoto ......" Yoshida has completely lost his mind to the logic of a certain secondary two manga artist!"It's not okay to be too confident! According to your usual words...... Overconfidence is also a kind of arrogance!"
"My family cat, even though until now, you have enough information, but you still haven't been able to understand my thoughts......" Takahashi Makoto put on a look of [lonely as snow after being invincible in life], looked at Yoshida with sympathetic eyes, and slowly opened his mouth to continue to analyze, "But I will forgive you! Because in this world, there are too many ignorant but unaware mortals like my family cat...... The world will become so [pleasant] and so interesting!"
"Yes, yes, no matter how good you think it is, whether it's fun, it's funny......" Yoshida didn't want to understand Takahashi's thoughts! Not to mention that the thinking of a certain middle school cartoonist is obviously different from ordinary people...... Makoto Takahashi's outrageous evil taste is simply an incomprehensible existence for Yoshida with normal three views!"The only thing I want to know now is the reason why Cheng you serialized this kind of [depressing] plot!"
"My family cat, with your wisdom......" Makoto Takahashi looked at Yoshida with some suspicion, and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you sure you can hear my explanation?"
......Yoshida, who kept telling him not to be carried away by anger, took a lot of time to suppress his imminent anger and threatened angrily, "If you can't convince me...... I will hand over these cartoons to the editor-in-chief, who will decide whether they can be serialized or not!"
"Whew! That is...... Will I go to the base camp on the editorial side again?" Makoto Takahashi frowned slightly, looked at Yoshida with a serious face, and couldn't help but sigh, "Tsk! If you don't explain it clearly, although the next thing will become interesting, it will also become very troublesome...... If you accidentally destroy the editor's side, it will affect the [Final Plan]!"
The fragmented thoughts of a certain secondary and second-year cartoonist talking to himself made the green tendons on Yoshida's forehead jump uncontrollably......
"Then my family is a cat, before I analyze it, I would like to ask you a question......" Takahashi Makoto thought for a moment, then tapped his fingers on the table and asked Yoshida, "Judging from the manga serialized in the weekly magazine so far, most of them are eulogizing blood, praising friendship, and praising victory...... There's nothing wrong with that, right?"
"Well, most manga are basically like this......" Yoshida nodded in agreement with Makoto Takahashi's point of view, stared at a certain secondary manga artist, and added meaningfully, "Except for the works of some strange manga artists......"
"I'm not saying it's bad...... Ignoring Yoshida's targeted statement, Makoto Takahashi thought for a moment and then said with some hesitation, "How do you say it...... I just think that even if there is a brilliant place in the setting, if you read too many comics of the same type, you will find it boring!"
"Uh...... This ......" Yoshida pondered for a moment, then immediately slapped the table and retorted, "Makoto, you guy...... This is sophistry!"
"Sophistry...... Makoto Takahashi was not frightened by Yoshida's momentum, but laughed very poorly, "Then let me put it another way......! But don't you think that in many [mainstream] comics, plots such as "Justice Will Eventually Triumph Over Evil" and "Good People Will Be Recompensated, Wicked Will Eventually Suffer Their Consequences" appear too often?"
"Comics...... Isn't that bad?"
"Spread positive energy and bring hope to readers...... There's nothing wrong with that!" Makoto Takahashi's [happy] smile at this moment, in Yoshida's eyes, was like a poisonous snake showing its fangs, making people shiver and chill...... I knew that I should stop Makoto Takahashi from continuing at this time, but for some reason, Yoshida didn't stop it!!!" But such gentleness, such kindness...... For human beings, sometimes it is a kind of poison! My family cat, you should have forgotten the world we live in...... Is it cruel and realistic?"
"I've wanted to ask a long time ago!Why ......" Yoshida sighed silently, and then looked at Makoto Takahashi helplessly, his tone full of indescribable emotion, "...... Ah Cheng, why do you always have such paranoid and dark thoughts?"
"Because no matter how you live, no matter how many years you live, the world is ......" Makoto Takahashi leaned back in his chair, and his tone became a little low, "It's still as filthy as ever!"
"Uh...... That ......" Yoshida suddenly realized at the moment...... I actually made the unforgivable mistake of [discussing life with the second disease]!"Let's continue to discuss the plot of the comics!"
"Since you are so pious...... Okay!" Makoto Takahashi pouted a little unconsciously, picked up the manga manuscript on the table, and said while flipping through it, "In many manga serialized in the weekly magazine, many protagonists have made themselves successful in the end with firm beliefs! But in reality, it is the opposite, many people have or have had strong beliefs and have worked hard for them for a long time...... However, in the end, he did not achieve anything, and even paid and lost a lot!"
"Is it because of something ethereal like [the protagonist's aura]? because it's not the protagonist, because it doesn't have the protagonist's aura...... So should we accept defeat?"
If that's the case, then what humanity has done to determine the outcome...... What is it?"
"So, Ah Cheng, you want to serialize this kind of [depressive series] plot......" Yoshida's face suddenly became a little weird...... Because at this moment, a responsible editor really can't say what he wants to say!
"Well, because I want to let the reader know through such a plot that even if the protagonist of the manga has a firm belief and puts in the effort to it, he may not be able to succeed, and he may even lose a lot of ......" is obviously a Nakaji speech, but in Yoshida's view, a certain No. 2 manga artist is exuding a dazzling light at the moment, "To put it simply, my so-called [change] is through the plot of [Depression]......"
“…… to heal the reader who has been toyed with by fate or cruel reality!"
This...... Or do I know Makoto Takahashi?
Hearing Makoto Takahashi say this, Yoshida's eyes were full of shock and suspicion!!
"Hey, hey, my family is a cat, don't look at me like that......" Makoto Takahashi seemed to feel the malice in Yoshida's eyes, shook his head a little helplessly, and sighed with some melancholy, "Even if this world is so cruel, but in some ways, I am the same as Emiya Kiritsugu...... I love the whole world from the bottom of my heart!"
