Akira Toriyama read the first two episodes of "Halftime Core" several times, and it was not until it was almost twelve o'clock that he put down the jump sample magazine in his hand.

"What a good manga!" Akira Toriyama said with emotion.

In the second episode of "Midfield Core", Tetsuto Oda, who witnessed the girl he had a crush on was angry and cried, was determined to stand up for her.

As a high-IQ scholar, Oda Tetsuto certainly wouldn't want to rush over and beat up the other party like a bad boy with a head full of muscles.

He has to gather information step by step, make a meticulous plan, and then defeat Hayato Ryuzaki in the field that he is best at, so that he can only obediently apologize to Reiko.

In the process, Tetsuto Oda gradually became familiar with the girl he had a crush on, and the relationship slowly became closer. On top of that, he began to love the sport of football.

The plot after that is that Tetsuto Oda, who is in average physical condition but has an extremely smart mind, has a duel with Hayato Ryuzaki, an active bad boy, a former main striker of the football club, and an opponent with super athletic talent...... There are many supporting characters interspersed among them, such as Reiko's uncle, Anton the coach of the football club, and Masato Kawakami, the captain of the third year, etc., and the image is also very distinct, which leaves a deep impression......

Akira Toriyama recalled the plot of the manga, and he was in a good mood, like drinking nectar.

He happily picked up his phone and posted a tweet on Twitter, which is rarely used once a month.

"I just watched Mr. Qin Han's "Midfield Core", and my mood is still difficult to calm down. If "Baseball Heroes" is a cup of tea with a long aroma, from which people can taste the bitterness and sweetness unique to youth, then "Midfield Core" is a bowl of wine that is hearty from the throat to the soul after drinking! ”

After tweeting, Akira Toriyama threw away his phone and said to Koji Matsuyama, "If you're hungry, go eat a bowl of udon noodles and go to sleep." After watching "Midfield Core", I don't think it's such a painful thing to draw comics, so let's get back to work tomorrow. ”

There are no restaurants open late at night in the countryside like Kiyosu, but fortunately, there are vending machines that sell a variety of ready-to-eat goods. It was too late for Akira Toriyama to wake up his wife, who was already asleep, so he had to go out to forage for food by himself.

"After eating udon, it's time for me to cheer up."

Koji Matsuyama shook his head, and also shook off the feelings of "newcomers are coming out in large numbers, and they are quite old" in his heart, and went out with his old friends.

At this moment, in a manga studio in Tokyo, Tetsuo Hara is working the manuscript.

He was not as lucky as Akira Toriyama, who was able to take advantage of his illness to fish openly, and even if he was hungry in the middle of the night, he could only endure it for the time being, and he couldn't eat hot udon.

Tetsuo Hara combs his big back hair, likes to wear sunglasses, likes to wear suits, and looks like a big brother in the underworld. However, at this time, he used white ink with a distressed face and carefully revised the draft, no different from other ordinary cartoonists who were terrified when they heard the words "deadline".

After finally changing the draft, Tetsuo Hara raised his head, but saw his partner, Wu Nonzun, the screenwriter of "Beidou God Fist", playing with his mobile phone with a smile.

"Even if you get the name right, you can help me post the dot paper, and you actually have the time to go to Twitter......"

"That kind of chores, just let the assistant do it. Besides, if you hadn't watched "Midfield Core", your brain was hot, and you were clamoring to revise the draft, how would you be affected? Wu Lunzun said.

Good work inspires people.

For Tetsuo Hara, "Midfield Core" is such a work.

In his opinion, many of the storyboard techniques used by Qin Han in comics, the layout of the picture, and even the most basic grid design have many eye-catching points.

Back then, Osamu Tezuka took the lead in using the "cinematic" composition method in the comics, which brought Toei comics into a new era. Now, successor cartoonists like Qin Han have used these lens languages to the pinnacle, which makes Tetsuo Hara have to sigh.

If Qin Han is only the successor in the comic storyboard, then in terms of painting style, he is the pioneer. This is also what Tetsuo Hara appreciates the most.

Because Tetsuo Hara himself is a pioneer.

His "Hokuto God Fist" adopts an innovative combination of realism and exaggerated style in the painting style, and Kenjiro's perfect muscles attracted the attention of many people as soon as they appeared in the magazine.

Compared with other juvenile comics, those exaggerated and empty nirvana, the fist-to-flesh and certain "authenticity" battles in "Beidou God Fist" have naturally been vigorously sought after, and have set off a wave of fighting in the comic industry, allowing many cartoonists to imitate them.

When Tetsuo Hara saw the painting style of "Midfield Core", which took more than ten years of accumulation to evolve, he was immediately excited, and his inspiration burst out, and he made some revisions to the completed draft.

Finally finished his work, Tetsuo Hara also took out his mobile phone: "It's been a long time since I've seen such an excellent comic as "Midfield Core". If you don't write a short review, you can't say anything. ”

…………

The next day, many comic fans were surprised to find that many of the famous cartoonists they followed on Twitter rarely spoke!

For cartoonists who are extremely busy with work, they can't post a few tweets in a month, and usually Twitter is managed by the editor-in-charge.

But what's going on this time?

Not only Akira Toriyama, but also well-known manga artists in the jump department such as Tetsuo Hara, Tsukasa Hojo, and Masami Mada have tweeted almost all of them from last night to the early hours of this morning.

And the content is surprisingly consistent, all praising a comic called "Midfield Core".

Soon, someone with good deeds took this rare anecdote to the 2ch forum and took a horrific title.

"Tragic retribution! JUMP Four Heavenly Kings don't do their jobs and are addicted to Twitter late at night! The next JUMP may be stopped collectively! ”

The 2ch otaku who read this discussion string left messages one after another.

"Halftime Core? Haven't heard of it.,Is it a new comic? ”

"Let's start serializing new manga on Jump this week. I've heard it's pretty good. ”

"It's so suspicious, these tweets are all sent by jump editors, right? Otherwise, how could these busy people make an appointment and praise a comic almost at the same time? ”

"Quite possibly. They are all cartoonists from the same publishing house, so of course they have to praise each other. But it's too conspicuous. I don't believe that there is really a comic that is so powerful that it can be appreciated by so many well-known cartoonists at the same time? ”
