vf V^ T Y T f " U 6 1Ћ )* R o L, in fact, you should know in your heart that I have not come today just to catch up with my proud disciple and see the house. "Tsukasa Hojo gets straight to the point.

Qin Han bowed: "Well, I know. ”

"Before coming here today, Torishima-san asked me. However, I wouldn't be a lobbyist for JUMP. As someone who has made up my mind to leave JUMP, I don't have that position. Tsukasa Hojo said, "I believe you have your own judgment. ”

Qin Han was still a little worried, if Hojo Tsukasa really persuaded him to go back to JUMP, he really didn't know how to deal with it.

"Let me tell you a little bit about JUMP. As the editor-in-chief of Weekly Shonen Jump, the meritorious editor who once single-handedly discovered Akira Toriyama, Torishima-san is strongly in favor of letting you go back. The only obstacle is probably the upper echelons of Shueisha. It's not that they don't welcome you. In fact, if a manga artist like you can bring great profits to join JUMP, it would be a group of guys who are full of revenue and profits, and I would love to. It's just that they're worried that you're still holding a grudge against the past. In case Shueisha offered very generous conditions, but you rejected it directly, wouldn't it be a shame and a big shame? I'm afraid I'll be ridiculed for a long time if I say it. Big shots also want to save face. ”

"They're underestimating me. Treat me like a grumpy child? Qin Han couldn't cry or laugh, "That's why Shueisha is slowly testing my attitude, right?" ”

"That's right." Tsukasa Hojo sighed, "After having a meal with you today, I found that you are more mature and confident than when we met in the New Year. I also found a girlfriend. In terms of life, although I am twenty years older than you, I have no experience to teach you. I'm sure you'll take care of it. ”

After finishing speaking, Hojo Tsukasa suddenly asked with a curious expression: "Ah Qin, you revealed earlier that your football manga has been preparing for almost a year. Is there a draft? How about showing me? Actually, during this time, I also started watching football games......"

"Teacher, are you also interested in football?"

"It's not because of the anthropomorphic idol project you worked with the Football Association." Tsukasa Hojo smiled, "My daughter likes that idol group called Nogizaka 46 very much. The last time my daughters watched TV, I happened to see them on a TV show, performing a J-League cheering song. The girls in the jerseys are very cute, especially the white and straight legs wrapped in socks under the shorts, full of youthful vitality......"

After the old gentleman Hojo Tsukasa of Benge excitedly told about his mental journey of being interested in football because of his idol beautiful girl, Qin Han took out his comic name.

Seeing the title "Midfield Core" on the cover, Tsukasa Hojo raised his eyebrows: "Your protagonist is set as a midfielder?" Interesting. It stands to reason that strikers are the most interesting positions on the football field, after all, they are responsible for scoring goals. In addition, the goalkeeper is also crucial, which is a unique position. If I were to draw a football cartoon, I would definitely choose a goalkeeper or a striker as the main character. Just like baseball comics, the main character is usually a pitcher, and no one creates a catcher protagonist. ”

However, as he began to flip through the pages of the manuscript, Tsukasa Hojo's expression became more and more focused, and his comments became less and less.

It wasn't until he had read almost forty pages of name that he sighed, "Oh, I'm done reading this story, and my palms are already sweating with excitement!" ”

Although Qin Han only took out a simple name, a cartoonist like Tsukasa Hojo can still see the potential of this comic from the rough and even messy lines: storyboards, creativity, and stories, all of which have reached a very high level.

If Qin and Han's drawing skills are used to draw it into the original comic manuscript, then there is no doubt that an excellent story coupled with strong graphic expression will create an epoch-making sports comic!

"Ah Qin, look at your name, this "Midfield Core" should be a more realistic story about high school football players, and there should be no such nirvana as those nirvana, such as Shura's shooting, a thousand hands to save, a free kick from the fire, right?"

"Of course not. This is a real-life sports comic. Readers want to see fights, kills, and other better options, and I want to tell a story that doesn't have so many bells and whistles, messy things, just about youth and struggle. ”

Tsukasa Hojo nodded, but didn't say anything.

When the two of them returned to the living room, Yui Aragaki and Mrs. Hojo were on the balcony.

At the beginning of September, the sun in Tokyo is already much gentler, and it is very pleasant to enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea on the balcony and the cool sea breeze blowing.

The four of them chatted for a while. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Hojo said goodbye and left.

Being able to get together with the teacher after a long absence, Qin Han was in a good mood. And Yui Aragaki is also smiling.

Qin Han looked at his childhood sweetheart's girlfriend and said curiously: "What's the matter, Yui, so happy?" Did you talk to Mrs. Hojo about any happy topics? ”

"It's a lot of fun. Mrs. Hojo is teaching me how to be a manga artist wife! The girl said with a happy face.

"What experience do you have, let's hear about it." Qin Han became more and more curious.

"For example, cartoonists are very rich, so wives can buy whatever they want."

"For example, if a cartoonist is busy and dark, if his wife is lonely, even if she goes to find a lover, the other party will not find out."

"For example, if you get divorced, you can still get a large amount of family property."

Qin Han knew that his girlfriend was joking with him, so he pretended to exaggerate: "Hey, you women are too scary!" ”

…………

When Hojo got home, he picked up the phone and dialed Kazuhiko Torishima's phone number.

"Torishima-san, good afternoon."

"Hojo-sensei, hello. How is it, did you go to Qin Han's house? ”

"Yes."

"How's the conversation?"

"I think if Shueisha really wants to invite him to Weekly Shonen Jump, then show your sincerity, don't worry too much, and be like a sissy."

Kazuhiko Torishima smiled bitterly, "Of course I understand. However, the top management of Shueisha always has a variety of ideas. I'll try to persuade you again. ”

"By the way." Tsukasa Hojo added, "I'm at Aqin's house, and I've seen the football manga he said he was working on. Although it's just a name, I dare to say that if the other two magazines poach Ah Qin, then the king status of "Weekly Shonen Jump" is likely to be lost. ”

Although Kazuhiko Torishima believed in Tsukasa Hojo's vision, he was still shocked to hear that he spoke so highly of Qin Han's new manga.
