Chapter 104: It's the Master of the Man Who Drew the Rogue Kenshin (Part II)

Several times, although I finally saw Ken Ohata, but seeing his mustachioed face, Miyahara Jing didn't know where to start for a while. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This cartoonist, whose career has been quite tortuous, now seems to be a bit of a premature decline.

Miyahara Shizune lowered her head and pondered, sometimes she couldn't help but imagine if Ken Obata and Yoshihiro Tomiyama were cross-bred, giving him 30% of his brain holes and 30% of his diligence......

1, Ken Obata gained creative ability, and Yoshihiro Tomiyasu became diligent.

2, Yoshihiro Tomiyasu lost his creative ability, and Ken Obata dared to accept the fate of hitting the streets, and learned to play mahjong......

Well, at this time, think more about 1 and try to ignore the possibility of 2, as the president of a comic publishing house, of course, I want more authors who have a strong desire to create, strong creative ability, and subjective diligence and never delay the manuscript.

Although Ken Obata is not a genius manga artist of the type of Yoshihiro Tomiyatsu, in fact, if you talk about the time of his debut, he also entered the manga industry very early.

As early as Ken Obata was in high school, he submitted articles to Shueisha and gained the attention of the Shonen JUMP editorial department.

His first submission won the Shueisha Manga Award.

Imagine that if Ken Obata succeeded in his first serialized work after that, he would have become a so-called "genius manga artist for high school students".

But there was no such gimmick in him, which meant that his first work failed.

His painting skills were later praised, but in the beginning, he did not possess this kind of painting skills, and Obata Ken's debut works were on the rough side, definitely not having the delicate and realistic style that he had since become famous.

Ken Obata was selected for the Shueisha Manga Award with the title of 500 Light Years Myth, and it was with this work that he received the blue eyes of the editor of Shueisha JUMP, and the following year he officially debuted and got the opportunity to be serialized.

At that time, his serialized work was called Playing Handsome Grandpa G (I don't know if it has anything to do with Oda's Rao G), and it was a nonsensical funny machine manga.

Ken Obata was originally a cartoonist......

Let's summarize the reasons why this work hits the street.,First of all, the main characters in the manga are all old age.,Drawing the story of an old man on a shonen manga.,The novelty of Ken Ohata's ideas can be seen.。

Think a little bit about the reader's sense of involvement...... There is no sense of substitution.

Considering the royal road comics at that time, it was either a Saiyan transformation, or Ora Ora Ora, and the funny manga itself was a misguideline.

Therefore, his debut work, whether it is a character plot story, or even the most fundamental and basic theme, has no selling point, and it is reasonable that he was quickly cut in half.

After his debut work hit the streets, Ken Obata seemed to realize that his storytelling skills were too poor, and he may have been stimulated by some other stimulus, in short, he no longer worked as the original work, but sought cooperation with other original authors, and focused on becoming a "painter".

When it came to the later work of "Arabian War Demon God", I won't talk about how to tell the story first, and it can be seen from this work that Ken Obata's painting skills have not only improved a notch, but Ken Obata has begun to refine the original manuscript under his hands.

Now that the puppeteer is near, his painting skills are still improving.

If it weren't for Miyahara Jing's intervention, in the later stage of the chess soul, Ken Ohata's painting style was at its best, and he completely found his own path.

After the chess soul, he drew the DEATH'NOTE that countless people were amazed.

In ten years, Ken Obata has successfully transformed from a "street comic style" to a representative of "realistic comics", and has also improved from the realm of "line modeling" to the realm of "line making", in which the progress of his painting skills is undoubted.

What is Ken Obata's path as a manga artist?

His Yacheng Mu Mengye can't draw orthodox royal road bloody battle comics, but attack Yu and are good at evil road comics, so what about himself? The chess soul is hot-blooded, but it doesn't fight, and as for the Death Note, it's the evil way of the evil way, and before it, almost no one would have imagined that this kind of work could be serialized in shonen manga.

Collaboration with the original author, avoiding the most orthodox royal works, and conceiving a maverick story, this is Ken Ohata.

If you want to say that Ken Obata's most successful work is probably the Death Note, but the most meaningful and important work for his life should be the chess soul before that.

This work allowed Ken Obata to quickly transform from a street cartoonist to a first-line author, and established his status as a transcendent "original painting" author in the manga industry in one fell swoop.

The reason for this is not only the hot sale of the chess soul and the influence of the work, but also the fact that after this work brought fame to Ken Ohata, he will never lack the original work in the future.

The original work is very important for a painter.

In the past, it was probably Ken Obata who was looking for the author of the original work, and after the chess soul, he could sit at home and wait for the original author to come to the door.

He went from being a chosen person to getting the initiative to choose and became a chooser, so he could only meet the man called the big thrush later.

In terms of social influence, the Chess Soul proves what a magical thing the manga is in Japan, and the "Fujiwara Sayu" is well known, and the Chess Soul has made a great contribution to the development of the Japanese and Ben Go. In the past few years, the number of Go people in Japan has risen rapidly from more than 3 million to more than 4 million, especially since the vast majority of the nearly one million people who have increased are teenagers.

So to summarize Ken Ohata's career, the future is bright, and the road is tortuous.

Maybe many years later, he can look back on his life and say "I have no regrets in my life", after all, from the perspective of a successful person, those setbacks experienced in advance can be regarded as the wealth of life.

But that has to be said in the future, for the current Kobata Ken, he only knows that his road is bumpy and tortuous, but the future is bright, I'm sorry, he really can't see it.

If you say how much Ken Obata is valued in Shueisha at this time, this Miyahara Shizun really doesn't believe it.

Ken Obata himself didn't believe it, so he was curious about the president of a manga publishing house who had asked him several times.

After thinking about it for a while, Miyahara Jing decided to speak out in a matter-of-fact manner.

His first sentence did not talk about Ken Obata's strengths, nor did he talk about the reasons why the Hibiscus Society valued him, but said:

"I don't know if Mr. Ken Obata has paid attention to our Hibiscus Club, but in our Hibiscus Club, there is a special department or organization called the Drama Committee......"

This is by no means a temptation, let alone a temptation, but just a matter of facts.

Whatever Ken Obata needs, Miyahara Shizune lets him see what Hibiscus Club has at first glance.

The playwright team is tailor-made for such an original author!
