Chapter 105: What is Lacking and What is Replenished (I)

"I wonder if Ken-chan Obata has read our weekly Shonen ME?" Miyahara asked at Ken Obata in front of her. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

What I talked about with Ken Obata today,Miyahara Jing is completely carried out as the president of a manga publishing house.,It has nothing to do with his identity as a manga artist.。

For newcomers who have not debuted, you can talk to them about what kind of eighteen-year-old genius manga artist, Hibiscus society gives newcomers extra many opportunities, and a series of other issues, but this has no meaning to talk to Obata Hiroka.

Because for this thing, the other party, as a cartoonist who has debuted for so long and has experienced many times on the street, is simply a door clear, which belongs to the experience and experience of cartoonists at different stages, and cartoonists who have not debuted may fantasize about becoming an instant hit, but Ken Obata will never have such an idea at this time.

What if you can get the opportunity to be serialized, what if the quality of the work is not guaranteed, or even if the quality of the work is good, but it is not liked by readers?

will be cut in half, without suspense.

In the final analysis, it still depends on the quality of the work and the feedback of readers, and cartoonists rely on this to eat.

Ken Obata is the kind of manga artist who is serious and likes to study something on his own, otherwise he would not be so proactive in improving his drawing skills.

To put it bluntly, he is not willing to accept his fate as a cartoonist and stop here, although he does not say that he has to become a NO.1, but he does have a deep buried idea in his heart that "if I don't mix well, I won't come back".

Therefore, as time went on, step by step, his drawing skills improved significantly, and some storyboards were indeed able to give people a stunning feeling, as for the storyboards...... Well, it can only be said that his storyboard is still improving, and the degree of progress will not be taken into account for the time being, after all, it is already very good for him to improve.

As for the ability of the original work, this is indeed his shortcoming, but everyone has taken the initiative to give up this part, so what is there to talk about.

Because of such seriousness, after Miyahara Jing raised this question, Ken Obata took the initiative to take out a copy of the current issue of the weekly boy ME from his bag.

The works on ME,Fate / saty'night has always been the most well-known before.,This is because the serialization is relatively early and Hanshin and ODA and other comprehensive factors.,Now if you talk about the sales of single books,,It's also the highest FATE.。

If it was a month ago, the most popular work was actually Pokemon, because the copyright issue between the Hibiscus Society and the game giant Ren Tangtian has been hyped up, and the final result is a bit of a thunderous and rainy problem, and the previous attacks on each other (mainly Ren Tangtian for the Hibiscus Society) are so serious, and the final result is a shocking joint sharing of copyrights and cooperative development.

This has made many journalists, media and ordinary people who do not think it is a big deal to watch the excitement.

And now? The most topical work on the weekly shonen ME is EVA.,There's no other reason.,This work has been animated.,Strong religious color.,SF and mythology intertwined with the way of fighting and world view,Unique stream-of-consciousness expression,It's already a topic for this work.,Especially its OP.,It's a bit exaggerated to say it's spread all over the streets.,But it's true.,It's already the hottest anime song.。

Animated, how far away the word is for Ken Obata.

"After ME was republished and became famous at the beginning of this year, I also had the pleasure of reading the above works, and I am a loyal reader of one of the works, because the work has never been released in a single book, so basically I will buy ME in every issue." Ken Obata said that he didn't know why Shizune Miyahara started the topic from ME, but he still truthfully stated some of his thoughts on the weekly magazine of Hibiscus Society.

Shizune Miyahara noticed that he was talking about the "reissue" of ME, not the "first issue", and this statement alone was able to confirm that Ken Obata had indeed studied ME, and at the same time to explain his personal personality from the side.

In the eyes of the general public, the weekly Shonen ME is a completely new issue, and after a certain understanding, it will be known that there was a magazine with the same name in the 80s, although the magazine quickly failed at that time.

Why talk about ME? Ken Obata didn't know, in fact, he didn't know why the young president Miyahara insisted on meeting him, he wasn't the kind of famous manga artist, right?

But if you want to sigh which work he admires the most, it is not the most orthodox juvenile comic above, but the suspenseful, niche ancient city of Thorn King.

When Miyahara Shizune heard Ken Obata say that there was no single book in that work, she already knew what manga he was advocating.

As the saying goes, what is lacking and what is envied, what is Ken Obata lacking?

He lacks the kind of brain hole, the brain hole that can be rationalized or paved into a whole story.

The brain hole, plus the rationalized explanation, the answer to the mystery that was not revealed until the end, and the work at the end was not only collapsed, but further deepened and sublimated, which is something that Ken Obata does not have.

With a thought, Miyahara opened her mouth and asked, "Ken-Kobata likes our work?" I guess it's the King of Thorns in the ancient city, right? ”

Ken Obata was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

He didn't expect Miyahara Jing to be able to guess which work he was talking about in an instant, just by guessing that he had never published a single book?

This shows that the president of Miyahara is still quite familiar with the works serialized in his magazines - of course he doesn't know that what Miyahara Shizune especially likes to meddle in is actually creative things.

"What does Mr. Kohata think of the work of the Ancient City of Thorns?"

"Cleverly conceived, whimsical and ...... ending Amazing. ”

Ken Obata has a bit of a high opinion of the ancient city of the King of Thorns, perhaps simply because of his personal admiration, or it may be flattering, because the tone is still very sincere in general.

Miyahara smiled, he felt that he could already lure Ken Obata to take the bait.

"In our Hibiscus Society, there are actually a lot of full-time original cartoonists like Ken Obata Sensei, and many of our stories are separated from the creation of the original, storyboard and original manuscript, and the ancient city of the King of Thorns is actually one of the representatives, although this work is created under a collective pen name, but in fact, his original painting Aida Seiichi is only responsible for drawing the original manuscript."

Aida Seiichi, of course, his skills in drawing the original manuscript are not as good as Ken Ohata, and the gap between the two is not small, otherwise what else would Miyahara Jing look for?
