Chapter 407: Dragon Ball Author: Naruto Toriyama

When Kishimoto was 15 years old, he won the Shueisha Best Newcomer Award for a one-piece machine.

The name of genius for a while, accompanied by the history of Kishimoto Qi.

It's just a pity that genius is not omnipotent, and after Kishimoto won the rookie king award at the age of 15, he has not had any performance for seven consecutive years. Until now, the 23-year-old Kishimoto Kishi, the entire comic book circle has forgotten about his existence. What is even more tragic is that because Kishimoto's works have always been poor, Kishimoto has failed in all these years of creation.

He submitted his manga to all manga publishers in Japan again and again, but was rejected again and again.

The current Kishimoto history has been in a row for several years, and he has not earned half of his income in the creation of comics, and his life is very hard.

It's just that Kishimoto is still insisting, and he believes that he will succeed.

However, the more you insist, the more pitiful it is.

"Mr. Naruto Toriyama, I need your advice."

After squatting at the residence of Dragon Ball author Naruto Toriyama for half a month, Kishimoto Kishimoto moved Naru Toriyama and made an exception to meet him.

"I've always insisted on the path of comics, but I've been persevering, but I've been getting back failures again and again. I always encourage myself to keep going, and if I keep going, I can succeed. However, I feel that Cheng seems to be getting farther and farther away from me. Honestly......"

Kishimoto Kishi smiled wryly, "For the sake of comics, I can't even live my life now." I'm even a little shaken, am I really not suitable for comics, am I going to give up comics? ”

"Kishimoto, in fact, your problem is also the problem of many Japanese manga authors."

Hearing Kishimoto's story, the super-popular Japanese manga writer Naruto Toriyama did not seem out of the ordinary, "Even, not only you, but even me, sometimes encounter such problems." ”

"Mr. Naruto Toriyama, are you kidding, your Dragon Ball series is the best-selling manga in Japan."

Kishimoto asked in surprise.

"Yes, I admit that my Dragon Ball is indeed the best-selling work in Japan. However, apart from Dragon Ball, do you remember my other works? ”

"Others?"

Kishimoto scratched his scalp and said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Naru-sama Toriyama, I've only seen your Dragon Ball, other works, and I haven't read much of it." ”

"You don't need to be sorry, it's me who is sorry. In fact, in addition to Dragon Ball, I have also drawn several manga. However, none of these cartoons were successful, and even, no one else had ever heard of them. ”

"W-how can this be?"

Kishimoto stood up in surprise, a little unacceptable, "Naru-sama Toriyama, how is this possible, you are the most talented manga artist in Japan, and you are also the best-selling manga master in Japan, how can your work not be successful?" ”

"Young man, don't get excited, who stipulates that the works of comic masters will be successful? In fact, after Dragon Ball, my work was not only a success, but also a big failure. I also wanted to know why, but I didn't know. ”

Speaking of which, Naruto Toriyama also shows the same color of responsibility as Kishimoto Saishi.

However, he quickly said, "Of course, I may be luckier than you, my Dragon Ball is selling well, I don't have to worry about my future life, I still have a lot of time and energy, continue to work on manga." But, for you, a teenager. Although you have won the title of Shueisha Rookie King, this title has not brought you much money. Even, by now, you have made your life extremely difficult because you have been sticking to comics. I don't know if your persistence is right or wrong, and I can't tell you whether you should stick to it or not. But what I can tell you is that there are so many manga geniuses in Japan that even if countless manga geniuses are buried, there are still amazing manga births. ”

This is the advice given by a generation of manga master Naruto Toriyama to Kishimoto Kishimoto.

Some of them returned from Naruto Toriyama's house in despair, and Kishimoto Saishi's mind kept coming back to Naruto Toriyama's words.

There are so many manga geniuses in Japan.

Yes, under the national comics, even if you are not a genius, you can also strive to become a genius.

Of course, that's not the point.

The point is, even if you become a genius in the eyes of people, there will always be a day when you fall.

Master Naruto Toriyama is the best proof of this.

It's just that Naruto Toriyama's Dragon Ball is so successful and so successful that even if he doesn't have a follow-up, people will always remember his success. However, except for Toriyama Naru, everything else is like a comet, fleeting.

The reality is somewhat unacceptable, and Kishimoto's heart is even more shaken.

Am I not suitable for comics?

Again, Kishimoto asked himself.

No, I can't give up.

Gritting his teeth, this is the belief that Kishimoto has insisted on for many years.

He will not give up because of the cruelty of reality, and he will not stop there because of the difficulties in life.

He's going to keep going.

Back at home, Kishimoto decided to summarize some of the manga experiences of his predecessors.

He opened the website and entered the Penguin Comics original platform.

Here, there are electronic comic books by almost all well-known comic book writers.

Because of the difficulties in life, Kishimoto no longer has much money to buy all kinds of comic books.

The comics on the Penguin e-comic platform are free, and he can read and learn.

Dream Eater, this is the most popular manga work in Japan recently.

It is also a manga work that teaches people to draw manga.

Kishimoto repeated the reading over and over again, and it was not until late at night that Kishimoto stopped.

"This site is very good, but unfortunately, why are all the comics free?"

It turns out that Kishimoto is still quite optimistic about this original comic platform, and feels that with such a webtoon platform, he has one more choice. However, when he found out that the site was free, Kishimoto didn't have much interest. Although he drew comics as his passion, if he didn't have a manuscript fee, he would have to starve to death. Although in recent times, he has almost no manuscript fees. Still, he tried again and again to submit his work to publishers, hoping that one day they would be able to publish his work. And the Penguin Comics original platform, although he also thought about sending his previous works over to take a look. But in the end, he gave up on the idea.

Sighing helplessly, Kishimoto was ready to rest.

However, when he was about to close the original Penguin Comics platform, the advertisement on the banner on the homepage completely shocked him.

"Go to the Penguin Comics original platform to create, and enjoy 5,000 yen per month for full attendance."
