"How? Sign the contract if you can! ”

Ken Obata felt like he was dreaming, it was like a pie in the sky, but he was encountered by himself. In the past, he had always been very envious of other cartoonists who could collaborate with Master Zhao Chen, but he didn't expect it to be his turn so soon.

For a while, Ken Obata hadn't reacted, and when he reacted, he subconsciously felt a little flustered, for fear of offending Zhao Chen and losing this opportunity, so he took a pen and signed his name at the signature without thinking. After all, Ken Obata is still a manga artist who has never seen much of the world.

Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Congratulations, from now on I can call you Mr. Kobata Ken!" At that time, there will be editors and assistants to help you complete the task, and in the future, you just need to concentrate on drawing this cartoon, and if you don't understand, you can ask your editor in charge at any time! ”

Zhao Chen was routine when he said this, he didn't know how many times he said this sentence, anyway, it was quite familiar to say it by now, as if he was talking about it, he finished talking to him in one breath, and then packed up the contract and opened the office door.

"What's wrong?" When I opened the door, there was a person standing at the door, but it was Yoshihiro Tomiyatsu. However, Zhao Chen's gaze was not limited to this, but the corner of the corridor not far away, and he saw several long shadows there.

Zhao Chen was not stupid, so he naturally guessed that there were a few people standing there, but they might not know that they had been exposed. But he didn't say anything, but looked at Yoshihiro Fujian, who was a little obscene in front of him.

Yoshihiro Tomiyasu has long curly hair and an extremely thin face. It's like skin and bones.

At this time, Yoshihiro Tomiyasu was 19 years old, and he had been in this apartment for a year, but even with the previous lessons. Yoshihiro Fujian hasn't changed much, and he still goes his own way.

However, Yoshihiro Tomiyasu is a top genius after all, even if he is often lazy, but his level has improved a lot compared to last year. If you rank all the manga assistants in this apartment, Yoshihiro Tomiyasu may have reached the top five.

Of course, his level is comprehensive, including the plot. Otherwise, if it's just a painter or something, Ken Obata, who is quite diligent, is no worse than him. On the contrary, it is faintly better.

According to reports from his previous life, most of the impressions of cartoonists and editors in the past were that he loved to procrastinate, would stage disappearances if he couldn't draw, and was always a freak who played electric in the house. However, from Naoko Takeuchi's mouth, comic fans can learn more about him and understand that he is actually a childish person. Overall, this is a fun-loving and lazy guy.

But this thing has such a high talent, if he has been diligent. All aspects will be improved. Maybe you will be able to challenge the status of Akira Toriyama and others.

Not to mention that Ken Obata is so diligent, as long as he can achieve his brother's diligence, the future can be described as limitless.

As for Yoshihiro Tomiyasu's younger brother, he is a manga artist who is active in adult manga. He once served as an assistant to Yoshihiro Tomi when he was serialized in "Yuyu Hakusho", and participated in the revision and processing of the painting pages. In addition, the brothers often work together. However, compared to the lazy and playful Yoshihiro Tomiyatsu, his younger brother seems to be extremely diligent in comparison, and there is no way, at least his younger brother can always get the job done. Instead of taking off the draft, prevaricating with drafts, and taking leave for mahjong competitions.

Anyway, all of this, for the rich and strong in front of him. Zhao Chen feels really bad, I'm afraid that the only advantage of this product is the talent explosion, anyway, Zhao Chen has not seen his advantages in the past year. It was when he saw Yoshihiro Fujian standing at the door, and Zhao Chen sent him away as if he wanted to, lest this thing do anything amazing.

"Teacher Zhao Chen, can you take a look at my work?" Fujian Yoshihiro was not nervous, but took out a stack of sketches and handed them to Zhao Chen.

And just as Yoshihiro Tomiyasu took out the sketch, several comic assistants in the corner of the corridor made expressions of disbelief, they didn't expect Yoshihiro Tomiyasu to be so bold. Who Zhao Chen is They know very well, the gap between the status of the two sides is too big, your little comic assistant not only blocked the door, but also took out his own work to Zhao Chen to comment, this is not what boldness is, in their opinion, Zhao Chen is likely to open Fu Jian Yibo in a fit of anger.

Originally, according to their plan, they wanted to inquire if Ken Kobata was going to cooperate with Zhao Chen, but they didn't expect it to become like this. I couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what to say.

Zhao Chen glanced at Fu Jian Yibo strangely, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he still took the stack of sketches. After all, it is Yoshihiro Fujian in front of him, or his comic assistant, and he is likely to become a full-time cartoonist of Tianxia Society in the future, so these layers of relationships will make him agree.

The title of the sketch is "Werewolf I Love You", for this somewhat vulgar title, Zhao Chen has a little impression, this is not a short work by Yoshihiro Fujian! Although it's not the work that won the Tezuka Award, it's impressive.

Of course, I have to say here that the Tezuka Award was originally JUMP's own talk, and I didn't ask what Osamu Tezuka meant, so it can be said that it was an infringement award. However, perhaps for the sake of increasing his fame, Osamu Tezuka did not protest against the award, nor did he take Shueisha, which was not big at the time, to court. As a result, a win-win situation was achieved for both parties, Osamu Tezuka gained fame, and Shueisha gained a steady stream of potential manga artists.

However, according to Zhao Chen's opinion, the objective quality of the Tezuka Award-winning works is not so much good as it is not so bad. Including many masters, the short stories that won the Tezuka Award are nothing more than mediocre at best, rotten street stuff at worst, and the same is naturally true of Yoshihiro Tomiyasu's "Unexpected Birthday Present", which is drowsy when watching it in modern parlance.

It is precisely because of this that the sales of the exclusive publications of the Tezuka Award works are so low, mainly because they are basically sparse and ordinary comics, and there is a bit of a gap between the quality and ordinary manga publications, which is the main reason why readers don't buy it.

The short story collection "Werewolf I Love You" can see the rudiments of various things, such as the so-called pursuit of serendipity in stories, and the ambiguity of good and evil. Even the basic structure of the four-member group has emerged. But the problem is that these are not important at all, but because they are too focused on these vague feelings, the viewer feels drowsy.

Just like Zhao Chen took a look at "Werewolf I Love You", he found that the rich traitor was not only a game lover and a baseball lover. It's still a short story plus a girl comic book lover.,The first two are actually rich and rape.,The main problem is that "Werewolf I Love You" from the painting to the storyboard to the line editing at least more than seventy percent is traced back to all kinds of girl comics, saying that he doesn't like it is a hell, and it's no wonder that Yoshihiro Tomiyasu will eventually marry the cartoonist Naoko Takeuchi of "Sailor Moon" as his wife, which is deeply poisoned by shoujo comics.

Zhao Chen's speed of turning the page became faster and faster, and the speed finally made Yoshihiro Fujian in front of him feel nervous. Originally, he was full of confidence and felt like he was going into the abyss, but he still looked at Zhao Chen with hopeful eyes.

"Teacher Zhao Chen, what do you think?" After Zhao Chen finished flipping. Yoshihiro Tomiyasu showed an expression that was more ugly than crying.

"Not good! Work hard, and there will be your chances in the future. Zhao Chen shook his head, but he didn't know that he was looking at it from the eyes of the future, so he didn't think it was a big deal. Of course, if you look at it from the eyes of ordinary editors of this era. This "Werewolf I Love You" can still be serialized in some comic publications. However, with the quality of this comic, I'm afraid it will only be serialized for a few months before it dies.

Don't look at Yoshihiro Tomiyasu is a top genius in comics, but in the first few years of history, before he drew "Yuyou Hakusho", two or three comics would be serialized every year, not because of how prolific he was, but because all of these comics died and were cut in half. The main reason is simple, and that is that these comics are not just sparse and ordinary. It has its own flaws.

Zhao Chen doesn't have a good impression of Fu Jianyibo, so he naturally won't hide his evaluation. In the same way, he also hopes that Fujian Yibo can work harder, and don't always think about being lazy, it can be said that Zhao Chen still has some expectations for Fujian Yibo, he just wants to see if Fujian Yibo can make changes after his tiao teaching.

However, Zhao Chen obviously didn't know that these words had almost no effect on Yoshihiro Fujian, who had always been full of confidence, and he obviously underestimated the cheekiness and self-confidence of this product.

"Teacher Zhao Chen, since you have read this article, let's take a look at this one!"

Yoshihiro Tomiyasu showed no signs of being hit, but once again took out a stack of drawings from somewhere.

Zhao Chen wondered, this Fu Jian Yibo seemed to be even more difficult than he imagined, plus the confidence that gushed out of nowhere. However, this time he did not take the original manuscript of Yoshihiro Fujian, but left directly, and he didn't want to waste too much time here. What's more, the two are obviously superior-subordinate relationships, and the status difference is so big, it's good to be able to read one by yourself, and then look at what the rest of the assistants will think, I'm afraid it's likely that they will also take their own drawings to me for evaluation, how can I have so much time to review these.

After Zhao Chen left, those figures suddenly appeared, and they surrounded Yoshihiro Fujian, among whom Takahashi Nu snatched the sketch that Yoshihiro Fujino wanted to evaluate Zhao Chen. This is a sketch drawn by Takahashi Nu in his free time these days, he has a good relationship with Yoshihiro Fujian, seeing that Yoshihiro Fujian wants Zhao Chen to review the manuscript, so he privately handed over his sketch to Yoshihiro Fujian, hoping that Yoshihiro Fujian can help.

But who knows, Zhao Chen left without even looking at it, which made Takahashi Nu a little disappointed for a while. He knew it was a rare opportunity, but he didn't take it.

And after Takahashi Nu got the sketch back, Ken Obata came out of it, he was just digesting what had just happened, and the whole person was still a little foggy.

"Ken Ohata, is it?" Takahashi's gaze fell on Obata Fitness, a briefcase in his hand to be exact. Although this briefcase is very ordinary, Takahashi Nu can easily guess that Ken Kobata must have been lucky and got the opportunity to cooperate with Zhao Chen.

Ken Obata nodded, but didn't speak. Although he usually works hard, he has also developed a personality that does not like to talk, especially at this time. He'd heard of a theft here, and the target was something like that in his possession.

Although the end result of the incident was that the 'thief' failed, he still didn't want to take the risk, so he decided to go back to his room and pack his belongings later. Then get out of here and go outside to find a personal apartment to set up as your own comic studio.

Comic studios are an inevitable product for cartoonists. In addition to expressing one's identity as a cartoonist, it is to be able to carry out one's work more effectively and avoid being distracted by other aspects.

And just when Ken Obata began to set up his own manga studio, "Ghoul", which had been serialized for nearly half a year, finally came to a critical moment.

Summer has arrived, but there are a series of deaths and evictions of villagers in the village, and the smell of death begins to envelop the whole village. The deceased all started with the inconspicuous symptom of anemia and then worsened. He would die in a few days, including Yuuki Natsuno's friend Toru Muto.

In order to understand the truth of the matter, Yuuki Natsuno is looking for answers. Finally set his sights on the corpse. Because according to the current situation in the village, it is very likely that what will happen is the corpse fraud, not to mention that the corpse fraud happened in this village a long time ago.

So he and Tanaka went to the cemetery in the village with his sister and brother and began to dig Shimizu's grave, only to find that there was no body in the grave. and finally confirmed his point of view.

Followed by. A ghoul was about to 'plot against Kaoru Tanaka', but was knocked on the head by Natsuno Yuuki and fainted, and instead moved the ghoul into Shimizu's grave and buried it.

But the three of them didn't know that the ghoul was not dead, so there was a later plot.

Not long after this incident, Toru Muto, who had turned into a ghoul, returned to Natsuno, who was instructed by the werewolf that if he did not turn Natsuno into a ghoul, his parents would die. And Natsuno after seeing that it was Toru Muto. In an instant, he has no ability to resist, and he wants to restore Muto Toru to his original nature. So he took the initiative to let Toru Muto suck it again and again, but in the end he didn't completely move Toru Muto, so he finally 'died' because of the lack of qi and blood in his body.

The picture is frozen at this time, but the final picture makes comic book fans who read it instantly crazy, because the protagonist of "Ghoul" is 'dead', or in this unacceptable way of dying.

In the last few issues of the manga, Yuki Natsuno's character has been revealed, and most manga fans have a sense of identity with this protagonist who is cold on the outside and gentle on the inside. But I didn't expect Yuki Natsuno to just 'die' like this.

You must know that the Qing Shui who appeared at the beginning of "Ghoul" made many people subconsciously think that this was the heroine, after all, there were many shots of Qing Shui in the scenes, but unfortunately the heroine hung up in the first episode, which made many comic fans have a bad first impression of this comic. Although the article tried its best to show Shimizu's shortcomings, who made Shimizu's appearance good, attracted many male comic fans.

Although Shimizu died as soon as he appeared, there were not many scenes in the end, and comic fans slowly forgot about an unhappiness, but Yuki Natsuno was different, although Yuki Natsuno's Korean drama was relatively indifferent at the beginning, but as the plot progressed, his character slowly came to the fore, coupled with his handsome appearance, there are not many comic fans who like this character. But at this time, he 'died', so comic fans went crazy in an instant.

"As soon as the heroine died, I didn't expect it to be the male protagonist's turn so soon, is this comic already over." A comic book fan slammed his hand in hatred and said.

The comic fans next to him were full of helplessness, but his voice talking to himself made the previous comic fans stop complaining.

"Come on, the male protagonist has died less, and it's not the first time the male protagonist has died! Lelouch, Night God Moon, Monkey King and even Ash (in the counterattack of Mewtwo in the theatrical version, he was solved by Mewtwo and Dream's ultimate, although he was resurrected, but in the end he also died once). And the dark game in "Yu-Gi-Oh" is not dead! It seems that you have read too few cartoons of Zhao Chen's old thief, otherwise it wouldn't be like this! ”

This man shook his head as he spoke, with an expression of shame but pride, but his words made the previous comic fans feel quite reasonable, although he never counted how many of Zhao Chen's manga protagonists died, and how many times they died (Dragon Ball, N times).

"Have you forgotten that the ghouls in this comic are the products of the resurrection of the dead, since this comic has not yet been declared to be over, then the next plot must be that Yuki Natsuno will be assimilated into a ghoul, otherwise how will the plot unfold without the protagonist later. Take your time, that's what I thought anyway. ”

On the other side, there was also a manga fan who put down the manga he was watching, thought about it for a while, and said what he thought.

Those who didn't understand it at first realized that this was really the case, but when they thought that Yuki Natsuno would become a ghoul, they felt a little uncomfortable, after all, the appearance of ghouls will always change a little, not to mention, they can only appear at night. The most important thing is not this, but if you want to survive, you must suck human blood.

"You said that if the protagonist becomes a ghoul, will he suck blood?"

"This... It's hard to say, but if he sucks blood, I'll be pretty upset. ”

"Me too, and I don't want him to suck blood, or the impression he gave me would collapse."

"There's no way.,It's useless what we think.,The problem is that the key isn't here at all.,But anyway, I'll continue to watch it in the next issue.,If you really see the male protagonist sucking innocent blood.,At that time, I can only abandon the article.。

Comic book fans kept discussing, but in the end, they didn't give up on the meaning of "Ghoul", they all wanted to see what they wanted to happen. (To be continued......)
