Your family talks about the cockroach setting of "Martian Xenomorph".

The first word of the "Martian Xenomorph" OVA,I don't know if you've seen it.,For the work that is about to be broadcast on TV animation in October,This OVA happens to be a prequel to the work.,It's still very helpful for you to understand this work.,If you haven't watched it, then there's also a video with external links in the article.。 When I went to Beijing not long ago, the heads of several video websites were also discussing whether to introduce this work, although the work is very attractive, but there are also many hidden dangers. But that doesn't stop us from enjoying the work. The content of today's article is not an analysis of OVA, but a look at Gui Jiayou, one of the co-authors of this "Martian Xenomorph", who is responsible for the creation of the story.

[Translation byImmortal Star Man] Waiting for this autumn's animation, the manga "Martian Xenomorph" has risen sharply (Original: Yu Kika, Illustration: Kenichi Tachibana/Shueisha "Weekly YOUNGJUMP" serialization). In the year 2599 of the Gregorian calendar, Mars was used as the stage to depict the battle between the evolved Martian cockroach aliens and humans, and the noble family that created such a new setting was born in 1988 and is now 25 years old, and is a handsome guy who looks like Atsuhiko Nakata, a member of Oriental Radio. "I was going to end the manga in the first volume of the single book.,Not only did I expect it to last so long.,I can't believe it can be animated...,It's a miracle.。 Guijia said happily.

I was asked, "Why is the enemy set to be 'cockroaches'?" "The premise didn't start with a 'cockroach' basis." Your family said.

When I was an elementary school student, I became obsessed with manga after reading "The Legend of the Leader at the End of the Century", and gradually became interested in "becoming a manga artist". But when I was a student, I could say that I was completely working in the rugby club, rolling in the mud, "I don't know what to do if I want to be a manga artist, and if I play rugby, I won't get better at drawing (laughs)."

became a college student, and finally got a few homemade rugby comics to the editorial department of a comic magazine, but none of them went well. At that time, I happened to see an advertisement for an assistant advertisement posted by Mr. Tachibana at "YOUNGJUMP", and I decided to go to the apprenticeship. So I met with Masato Shinto (now part of the editorial department of YOUNGJUMP) and the founder of the new journal MIRACLEJUMP.

Shinto read your manga and said, "Although the drawing is bad, the lines are outstanding." Sensing the brilliance and possibilities of your family, he not only adopted him as Tachibana's assistant, but also proposed to him to "draw something that looks like a submarine, a spaceship, and Mars".

At that time, I came up with a new idea in "Martian Xenomorph". "If you think about sending lichens and cockroaches to Mars, whether Mars will become the same as Earth, researchers are actually there. I remember watching it on TV before.... But because the painting was so poor, I became a storyteller. "My master, Mr. Tachibana, was in charge of painting, and my assistant "graduated" after only three days of work. ”

In 2011, the monthly magazine "MIRACLEJUMP" was scheduled for 6 episodes and began serialization. Your family took a leave of absence from university and devoted themselves to serialization. "Sooner or later, the teacher of the noble family, who wanted to become popular with guò manga, started writing the script in this way, and on the way to write the fifth episode, when he was about to uncover the mystery of Mars, he was told that he was going to continue the serialization..., and the mystery remains there until now." Your family said.

The work became so popular that it was published as a short story in "YOUNGJUMP" in the same year, and in 2012 it was serialized in a similar magazine, and it is still being serialized. In the 2013 edition of "This manga is amazing!" (Takashimasha) won the first place in the male chapter. The 10th volume of the manga released on August 20 and the 11 volumes scheduled to be released in November include the "Bagus No. 2" anime from volume 1 as a bundle OVA, which is divided into front and back parts. "Anix No. 1 Chapter", which will be included in the second volume of the original work, will be released as a TV anime in the fall.

The debut work was very popular, and I graduated from university safely, and the good rhythm has not been interrupted until now. "I really feel very lucky, all kinds of accidents are superimposed. Did I do good things in my last life (laughs)," you said.

Regarding his approach to screenplaying, "I realized that I needed to be good at conveying the kind of humor that is unique to manga rather than being realistic. Increase the anger and sadness of the characters, and want to convey that intense feelings. On the surface, it's an SF manga, but it feels like it's closer to a Taibo manga that communicates with your fists. ”

■ The roots are SF fighting manga and Taibo manga

The attributes of your family as a writer are strongly influenced by familiar comics from an elementary school student. The detailed description of the insects and animals mentioned in the work is a reference to the manga "Kui!! The Boys' School" is a tribute to the "Minming Study" of the Edition. "Because of the influence of my brother, I also love Taibao comics very much, "B? Y', "Shonan Pure Love Group!" , "Cool and spicy" and so on, I love them. If you have learned about "Blade Teeth", "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", "Dahl's Adventure", "ARMS", "The Legend of the Leader at the End of the Century", and then "Martian Xenomorph", I should be able to feel all the affected aspects. ”
