16. Review by Yuto Ueno

Yuto Ueno looked at the manuscript in his hand, it was a stack of ordinary white paper, although the quality was okay, but it was still much worse than the professional paper used in manga. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But when he thought about it, these two people were from China, and the main painter was still a nine-year-old child, he was relieved.

After all, the first impression of Huaxia in these years is that the vast majority of people are still very poor. And as far as Ueno Yuto knows, the manga industry in China has almost been in a state of stagnation in recent years, and it is naturally not comparable with the island countries with a highly developed animation industry. And most importantly, the author of this comic is a child who is only nine years old this year! Can you expect a nine-year-old to draw comics on professional paper?

In fact, even many island manga artists, when creating comics, even use ordinary blank paper, and only those top manga artists are willing to use the top manga special paper to paint, this kind of thing, as the review editor of the Shueisha manga department, he has seen too much.

Therefore, the problem of the original material only flashed in his mind for a moment and disappeared. It doesn't matter if it's a comic drawn on toilet paper, but at the end of the day, it depends on the substance of the comic.

The next moment, start to focus on the original comic manuscript in your hand.

The cover is a big LOGO, which should be the name of this manga, ...... "NARUTO???

"Naruto?"

Yuto Ueno has a puzzled expression on his face, is this the name of this manga? No matter how you look at it, it's just a person's name.

With deeper doubts in his mind, he began to drive down.

Turning the second page, there is a blank space in the eye, only in the center of the paper, with a very concise stroke of the image of a child. A short-haired hedgehog with cat-whisker-like lines on his face, and a forehead with something like a forehead guard, with strange lines on it. He was wearing clothes that looked very soft, and a pair of open-toed sandals were waiting on his feet.

Just looking at the costume, it's not surprising. The character design is not beautiful enough, and it can only be regarded as a medium level. But the painting is quite good, with the simplest strokes to depict a person vividly, the little boy's expression and smile, just by looking at his playful and playful nature, which is really remarkable.

Yuto Ueno couldn't help but glance at the little guy sitting opposite, although there were still many shortcomings, but he had already recognized the strength of this nine-year-old boy in his heart.

There are also some simple text descriptions next to the character map, so that he clearly knows that the little boy on the screen is called Naruto.

"Naruto Uzumaki...... Naruto...... naruto? The name of this little guy is the same as the name on the cover...... Could it be a manga named directly after the main character? That's too casual, isn't it? ”

The confusion in Yuren Ueno was overwhelming, and he instinctively felt that this explanation might not be correct, so he had to keep reading.

Turning the second page, he is still a little boy, but unlike Naruto Uzumaki on the first page, this little boy looks much cooler and more handsome, of course, even this cool and handsome little guy is also drawn with the simplest strokes, and his name is Sasuke Uchiha.

Further down, page 3, page 4, page 5...... Until the tenth page, all of them are character drawings, each of the characters is different, the name page is different, there are men and women, old and young, different mentalities, the strength of the painter is once again shown, all the characters without exception are drawn with the simplest strokes, but each character image gives people a very delicate feeling.

"A rare genius boy! Even if the plot doesn't work, just this painting, his future will be limitless! ”

Yuto Ueno sighed silently, although in terms of painting alone, he could still find a lot of faults. But don't forget, the other party is just a nine-year-old child, and it is very, very, very remarkable to be able to do this, not to mention anything else, as far as the cartoonists he has seen, no one has such a painter at this age, and for this alone, he can't help but admire Zhang Han.

He also raised a trace of expectation for the later plot in his heart, in his mind, to be able to have such a young man with such a painting work, the mind is obviously much more precocious than the average child, maybe the plot he depicted, can also give people a bright feeling.

But before that, he also found two special places, and they were on the character map.

The first special point is that everyone's shoes are the same, they are all very special open-toed sandals, and he is not sure why the teenager opposite wants to set everyone's shoes to be exactly the same, isn't it good to draw ordinary shoes? It should be a lot easier than this kind of open-toe sandals, after all, such open-toed sandals still have to draw the toes, and the difficulty must go up.

And the second point, he found that the ten people he had seen so far, without exception, each of them would have something similar to the forehead guard worn by the little boy in the first one, and the pattern on it was exactly the same, a spiral pattern. So what does this pattern and this knick-knack mean? Are they from the same organization? School? Or the country?

The more he thought about it, the more curious he became, and he couldn't help but turn the eleventh page.

This page is finally no longer a character drawing, but a very correct comic storyboard. The top picture looks like a huge rock wall, the texture and texture of the rock are quite good, and it also vaguely reflects several huge human face rock carvings, in the blur, there is indeed a sense of clarity, which can be seen at a glance and will not be mixed with other parts of the rock wall.

"The main and secondary are clear, the sense of line is very good, and the depiction of details is quite good......

Of course, the buildings above the rock wall, as well as the trees and buildings around the rock wall, together with the rock wall, form a simple picture, with many lines, but it does not make people feel chaotic, and it is clearly organized, for a child of this age, this is not just so simple.

And when he noticed the picture, Yuto Ueno certainly noticed the words on both sides.

"Konoha Hidden Village ......"

A name I've never heard of.,Is it an overhead setting? It's a completely imaginary world, but there are many points that can be used to your imagination.

"From this moment on, there will be a teenager who will start his new ninja life......"

It's decent, it doesn't deliberately put smoke bombs, and it's not too straightforward, it's okay...... Wait a minute!

Yuto Ueno's gaze was suddenly attracted by two words.

"Ninja?"

A few drops of cold sweat suddenly left on Yuto Ueno's forehead, it was too unexpected, too unbelievable.

He had quickly thought about countless possibilities before, combined with some of the Chinese culture he knew, guessed the subject matter of this comic as much as possible, and analyzed in a very short time whether the comics created with the background of Chinese civilization were likely to succeed in the comic market of the island country.

In terms of results, he is still relatively optimistic. After all, the Chinese civilization is very long and the content is very rich, and there are too many contents that can be developed. The manga of the island country is known for its wide variety, and as long as it is not particularly ****** anti-social theme, it will basically not be rejected by the mainstream people.

And Huaxia is really a little too mysterious for ordinary Chinese people, the author from Huaxia, his works also have a sense of mystery, as long as the operation is good, but can establish a "special" label among the countless island cartoonists, maybe there will be unexpected development.

It was precisely for this reason that he took the initiative to come out to greet his grandfather and grandson. Otherwise, according to the normal routine, these manuscripts should be kept, and then they should be reviewed one by one when he has time.

However, when the plot really opened, Yuu Ueno found that all his previous guesses had been ruthlessly overturned, and he never expected that these two guests from China would actually bring comic works describing the local occupation of the island country.

Two foreigners to describe occupations unique to their home country? Yuto Ueno thought it was a little funny.

Ninja is a special profession that has existed in the island nation since ancient times, and is essentially a combination of assassins, killers and spies, and has played an important role in the history of the island nation and is an indispensable part of the island culture.

As far as the situation in the comic industry is concerned, ninja type comics, of course, are also a category of comics, but ninja type comics are relatively niche and have few works, and the market response is not very good. It's not that the ninja theme is bad, on the contrary, the ninja theme is a very good theme, and almost every citizen of the island nation can know some history of ninjas.

But because the popularity is so high, it is not easy for cartoonists to create when they are creating. There are too many shackles, there is no imagination, and sometimes it is often impossible to bring it into play. There have been many well-known manga artists who have tried to depict manga about ninjas, but in the end, they can only end miserably, and there are not too many cases of applause but not popularity.

So far, although there are a lot of ninja manga, it is still too far from the number of other types of manga. It should have been the mainstream comic genre, but it has long been reduced to a side stream, and few people will be involved.

Now, however, two foreigners have brought a manga depicting ninjas, which gives Yuto Ueno a vague sense of anger.

What do foreigners understand? Does he know the history of ninjas? Does he know what a ninja does? He probably didn't even know how to write the word ninja...... Oh, I guess those words are written correctly...... But so what? Isn't it a joke for a foreign kid to want to describe the occupation that has existed in the island nation itself since ancient times?

Yuto Ueno subconsciously wanted to close the sketch in his hand, and some of his previous goodwill towards Zhang Han had basically been wiped out at this moment, and he even wanted to slap the sketch in his hand on the other party's face.

But professionalism still made him endure this behavior, looked up at the expectant eyes of the grandfather and grandson opposite, he gritted his teeth, and continued to look down. Although there was a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, he still decided to read it first. Isn't it easier to find a reason to refuse?

With the thought of picking a bone in an egg, he continued to look down.
