Chapter 45: Disappointment and Hope
PS: What about the recommendation?Tickets~No tickets~The author cried out loudly.
Akiko Miyazaki's rejection of his new work still spread in the academy.
At the beginning of the school year, everyone was talking about who would go to which manga publishing house and whether it would be serialized.
When it comes to Akiko Miyazaki, they all agree that she has already booked a serial position by Vitality Girl Weekly, and her basic debut is the treatment of a top manga artist, and it has been stabilized.
Miyazaki Akiko's friends have seen her new comics.,How to say it.,The plot arrangement is very interesting.,It always teases the audience's nerves.,Every time the male protagonist talks to another woman,,They want to scold the woman for being a vixen.,The female owner must be an orange-kun.。
The subject matter is different, no one has ever thought that a love comic can be drawn from such a perspective, anyway, when a few of their girls read this comic, there is always a magic called taboo that attracts them to read it.
They all said, "Akiko, you will definitely be able to enter the energetic serialization this time, and the teacher proposed to set the ordinary girl as the heroine.,I think there is no such explosion after the change.,It's going to be so unexpected to look good!"
Akiko Miyazaki said undeniably: "It's okay, but I've made some bold innovations, and I don't know if the editor will like it!"
In fact, even Akiko Miyazaki herself thinks that it is already stable when it comes to the serialization of Vitality Girl Weekly.
Unexpectedly, it became a prophecy, and the new work was rejected by many comic publishing houses, and there was no chance of serialization.
Friends who asked her about her new work before,Seeing that Akiko in school seems to have been in a bad mood during this time.,Ask her what's wrong and say it's okay.,They also saw some clues.,Thinking that maybe there was something wrong with the comic serial.,Slowly stopped mentioning it.。
Those students who have passed the serial review have already reported the serialized works, and only Akiko Miyazaki is not named in the serialization list.
She's the center of attention, and what an incredible thing!
Many people think that as long as her new work comes out, she will definitely get the opportunity to be serialized, after all, at the award ceremony of the third-year rookie cup, there have been many comic publishing houses and her to negotiate serialization, as long as she reaches her senior year, her comics will start to be serialized, and the conditions given are better than the other.
Even the next single book published CD by the publisher called out 15 percent, which properly belongs to the level of first-class manga artists, except for 20 percent of the supreme god level of Mie Takahashi, those exaggerated proportions are not available to few people in the entire industry.
At that time, the school that got the news didn't know how sensational it was, and Akiko Miyazaki's popularity was also publicized at that time, and she was crowned with the title of rookie king.
Even some teachers told the students in class that if you have the level of Akiko Miyazaki in the future, then you will be able to live comfortably on royalties for the rest of your life.
That's how the school deliberately used her as a role model to learn from, and held her too high, and countless students could only look up to her, but because her grades were there, no one could say anything.
Now half a month has passed since the start of school, but there is no serial report of newcomer Akiko Miyazaki, and many people are waiting for her to come up with a new work, and slowly a rumor began to circulate in the school.
Akiko Miyazaki's new work is too challenging to the bottom line, and some people have seen her submit in many publishing houses, according to insiders, her new work was rejected by many publishing houses and failed to be serialized in a publishing house magazine.
There is not even a chance to serialize it from a third-rate publishing house, and there are very few people who believe in such rumors, but I can always hear a certain classmate swear that when he went to submit the manuscript, he really met Akiko Miyazaki who was there, and he was absolutely correct!
Akiko Miyazaki heard the voices of others in the aisle again.
"It's said that the content of Miyazaki Akiko's new work is too out-of-line, and I heard that the publishing houses that asked her for manuscripts refused to accept it, and she went to several publishing houses, do you think it's true?"
"How is it possible, Akiko Miyazaki will go to so many manga magazines to submit, and there are more than four different publishing houses I have heard, it must be a rumor!"
"Yes, it must be some psychologically shady man-made rumors, every time it is not in one place, I don't believe that she will go to a third-rate publishing house to submit, what is the Shimizu Comics Club, I haven't even heard of it!"
"But her previous works were very unexpected, maybe this time it is really too innovative, and the editors can't accept it?"
"According to me, some people are psychologically unbalanced and others are stronger than him, so they make up these rumors, and if you believe them, you will have ghosts. ”
One of the girls was on the side, watching several people talking about it, she interjected weakly, "When I went to the Red Bean Club, I happened to meet Miyazaki-san coming out of there, but I didn't dare to go up to say hello, she probably didn't know my little transparent, and now thinking back to her expression at that time, it seemed to be very low." ”
Several people looked at this girl who usually rarely spoke, and someone said, "You also saw it?" He understands this girl's personality and doesn't like to spread other people's gossip casually, so what she says is more credible.
The girl nodded slightly, but immediately shook her head, "I'm not saying that Miyazaki-san's manga was rejected, but I think she might have encountered something unhappy." ”
She originally bypassed, but she still walked over naturally, and when she came to the girl's side, she greeted her: "Yamashita-san, we did meet at the door of the Red Bean Club that day, goodbye." ”
Then she left the school without looking back, leaving a few people looking at each other, did she admit it directly or didn't care about the rumors at all?
……
In the eleventh district, Akiko Miyazaki walked into a large supermarket, which was full of goods, all kinds of cute mobile phone ornaments, beautiful trins, she liked it very much, but when she thought of her poor wallet, she immediately threw these cute gadgets out of her head.
After all, she is now living on her sister's salary, and her sister not only has to pay her tuition, but also has to pay rent, water, electricity, clothing, food, housing and transportation, and basically have to save to spend.
On the shelves in the living area, she expertly finds cheap toothbrushes, towels and other items, and then walks to the next area without stopping to start shopping for the next item.
She counted the contents of her shopping cart, toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels, toiletries, and feminine care products, silently thinking about what she hadn't bought.
"Ah, I'll have to buy a few new sets of underwear. ”
Thinking that her underwear had been worn for a long time, she walked to the counter selling women's underwear, and then saw the price of the zero on the label, which seemed to be one more person, she silently turned away.
"Let's go to the small shop and buy underwear. ”
After buying underwear at an old shop in the shopping street, she went to a nearby vegetable market to buy some cheap food, and in this way, Miyazaki Akiko, who knew where to buy everything to make it more affordable, returned to the rental house with the items she bought today.
Pushing the door open, although she knows that there is no one at home now, she will still habitually say, "I'm back~"
She put away all the items she had bought, and after a short rest, she went into the kitchen to start cooking for tonight's dinner.
My sister is a member of a very small comic magazine.,Because of the small size of the company.,So their salary is not high.,Editors like her.,Not only have to review the contributions of cartoonists.,But also be responsible for the cartoonists in the serial.,When you're in the company,A lot of chores need her as a newcomer to do.。
So every time she gets off work, she is the last, and every time she is too tired.
However, because they are sisters who live together, even if they are very tired, when she comes back to the door, she will pat her face, quickly sweep away the tired expression, replace it with a smiling face, and then say to her sister who is making dinner with vitality, "I'm back!"
"Ah, my sister is back, I'll make dinner right away, you can go to bed on the couch first. ”
Akiko Miyazaki, the younger sister, leaned out half of her body from the kitchen, looked at her sister who was changing shoes at the door, and repeated the conversation that the two sisters had had had countless times.
This is how the sisters of the Miyazaki family live.
When Akiko Miyazaki brought the meal to the table, her sister Ako was already lying on the sofa and fell asleep, she knew that her sister was tired every time she came back from work, but she still had to wake her up, and it was not easy to get stomach problems if she ate on time.
"Sister, wake up. ”
Gently wake up her sister who is sleeping lightly, and Akiko is very intimate to hold a wet towel for her sister.
"Thanks, Akiko is so nice. ”
Ako Miyazaki took the wet towel handed by her sister, and after she wiped her face, the tiredness had faded a lot.
The two sisters ate their dinner quietly, and after a long time, the younger sister Akiko spoke, "Sister, otherwise, I won't draw that kind of comic, just draw the popular magical girl." ”
Miyazaki Akiko didn't tell her sister about going to the manga publishing house to submit articles today, she didn't want her sister to worry about her anymore, and thought, it's better to abandon the fantasy of that step to the sky, or draw the current popular themes in a down-to-earth manner.
Many of her classmates in the same class have started serialization, and even those with much worse grades than her can find smaller comic club serializations.
She also thought about submitting to a small comic club, but she was opposed by her sister, and her strength should be submitted in a large magazine, and she should not waste her talent in a small magazine.
How can I have any talent, Miyazaki Akiko complained about herself in her heart.
The comics she created were opposed by many people, including the teacher who took good care of her, and also thought that her comics were a bit ...... Defying common sense?
In short, the large comic magazines she tried to submit to have all been rejected, and basically no one is optimistic.
However, her sister Ako Miyazaki insisted that her sister was a genius, both in terms of drawing skills and stories, and she even thought that the manga created by her sister was a classic that created a genre.
Just like "Magical Beautiful Girl" created by Mie Takahashi, her sister is also a genius manga artist.
So, every time my sister says a different type, she will resolutely oppose it, and this time it will be the same.
"Akiko, you have to stick to your own style, your manga is very good, you don't need to follow the trend of other people to draw magical girls, that's not your style. Your comics are much better than theirs, and as a comic editor, I assure you by my profession that there will be magazines that appreciate it. ”
My sister's answer was still the same, thinking that her comics were very good, although at first she thought that the works she created were very good, but after such a long period of rejection and ridicule from some classmates, her confidence gradually faded.
She herself began to feel that it wasn't that the comics she created were really not understood, but that they were really bad, after all, if someone really appreciated it, she wouldn't have to submit so many magazines to be rejected.
She secretly complained to her sister, "Isn't your major a slow editor?"
