"Manga Dao", as the name suggests, is related to comics.

Other comics of the same theme,Tachibana Gentry has also seen it.。

How so?

It's hard to get a grade for this kind of book.

On the one hand, professional comics are themselves niche, and "cartoonists" are even more niche among the niches, because the scope of activities of cartoonists is limited to the office of cartoonists, and even if they want to have conflicts, it is more difficult; On the other hand, cartoonists also have a certain degree of professionalism, and it is difficult for ordinary readers to get the high point of cartoonists in some aspects.

For example, the influence of small book rankings on cartoonists, and the influence of animation production on cartoonists.

In addition, it is Tachibana Gentry's dissatisfaction with Xi Muhan.

Although the original painting of "Mandao" is Shen Xin, the original work is indeed Xi Muhan.

Can this manga be serialized in Shonen Leap?

Tachibana Sentry has a wait-and-see attitude towards this.

Shen Xin's name has always been drawn more neatly, the pencil lines appear particularly clear on the paper, and the lines are not disordered, which looks particularly comfortable.

The same is true of the first episode of "Mandao".

At the beginning of the story, it unfolds from the perspective of the male protagonist.

The main character is a junior high school student, and although he is young, he meets the standards of a shonen manga, and Tachibana Shin thinks that such a setting is not too much of a problem.

However, the protagonist is not that fond of comics, at least in the first few pages.

At school, Comic Future is borrowed by readers, but the protagonist has never read a comic magazine, and even when his classmates discuss comics between classes, the protagonist deliberately avoids it.

Over time, there were rumors that the protagonist didn't like the manga.

"Don't look at him like this, he was very talented when he was a child, and he was praised by professional cartoonists, thinking that he was a good seedling of cartoonists."

The protagonist's childhood sweetheart defends the protagonist.

"Then why is he like this now?"

"Good seedlings hate comics, cartoonists are blind, right?"

Some questioned, some ridiculed.

The childhood sweetheart wants to explain, but the protagonist enters the classroom, and the conversation ends in nothing.

On the way back, the childhood friend apologizes to the protagonist, but the protagonist doesn't respond......

Seeing this, Tachibana couldn't help but turn the page backwards.

In just three pages, so much is told, and a big suspense is also left behind.

Why is the protagonist, who is called "the good seedling of a manga artist", alienated from manga?

Fortunately, this sentence is long enough, and the follow-up content will also be narrated.

The protagonist's father is an editor of a magazine, and his love for comics is indescribable, and he often stays up late to work overtime, or lives in the manga artist's house in order to urge the draft, so that his mother is quite critical of his father, but whenever there is a conflict, he will endure it.

The protagonist asks why, but his mother says, "Seeing the love for manga in his eyes, I can't help it anyway." When talking about comics, the happiness on his face is the most real. ”

So, the protagonist also began to pay attention to the manga that made his father happy, and after reading it, he quickly fell into it, gradually liked the manga, and said to his father, "One day, I want to be a manga artist too." When the time comes, Dad, you're going to be my editor. ”

"It's hard work for a cartoonist." Father narrowed his eyes.

"If you do what you love, you will be happy if you work hard, right? Just like Daddy. ”

The protagonist begins to practice drawing, conide about the name, and eventually, come up with an original manuscript that is just over ten pages long.

The father was overjoyed, "Shall I take you to see where the cartoonist really works?" ”

The protagonist is also very happy, and he looks forward to that day every day.

Soon, the protagonist meets the manga artist, who also gives him his work.

The comment of "a good seedling of a cartoonist" was mentioned by cartoonists at this time.

"What...... It's a complete mess, and this thing is also called a comic? "The cartoonist's son, a child who is a year older than the protagonist, sneers at the protagonist's work.

Of course, the protagonist refuses to back down, and the two scuffle together.

In order to prevent the two from continuing to fight, the father left the manga artist's studio early with the protagonist, but on the way back, there was a car accident - two cars collided, and the two people waiting for the bus at the bus stop were implicated, and the father couldn't dodge and was hit by the car.

If he didn't like comics, his father might have survived.

It was the only thought that flashed through his mind.

He isolated himself from the comics and also "imprisoned" himself.

Until one day, "Comic Future" serialized the work of a high school student, and overheard the protagonist of the news, knowing that the high school student was the son of the manga artist.

So, he recounted what the other party had said, "It's a mess, it's also called a comic?" ”

"If you're not convinced, you will draw one too?"

"You know what? You simply don't know what a manga is. ”

"You and he are people of two worlds, and he may be the pillar of Comic Future in the future!"

There is nowhere to vent the depression in his heart, the protagonist returns home, locks himself in the house, holds the G pen, but he can't get down the pen, and finally has to give up......

Mother knocked on the door.,She already knew what happened from the protagonist's childhood sweetheart.,Seeing the sullen protagonist.,In desperation.,Transferred her father's diary to the protagonist.。

“…… When I learned of his idea, I was so ecstatic that I even dreamed of working with him to create a comic book that topped the list of ten "Comic Future" books...... 20 years, as long as you wait another 20 years, it should be fine......"

Holding his father's diary, the protagonist weeps bitterly.

While he separated himself from the comics, he also separated his father's dreams.

"I had to create a comic book that was ten times a row of Comic Future...... For my father's sake, and for myself! ”

In the last frame of the manga, the protagonist makes a cry.

……

After reading the last grid, Tachibana Sentry touched his nose, and his nose was a little sour.

This sentence of "Mandao", reversed and reversed, made Tachibana Shen feel a lot of surprises, especially, some dialogues, made him feel angry, such as "If you are not convinced, you will also draw one", "You and he are people of two worlds", but the protagonist endured it, but returned home, and only after seeing his father's diary did he burst out his emotions.

One word, cool.

Since the first episode involves the death of the protagonist's father, the tone of the whole sentence will be relatively gloomy, Shen Xin did not directly draw the picture of the protagonist's father's death, but passed it quickly, making the atmosphere no longer so depressing, but the final emotional burst is really no way, after all, readers also need the release of feelings.

The last compartment of the comic directly pulls out the main line of the entire comic, that is, the protagonist wants to draw a comic of ten "Comic Future".

The next thing is how to improve the strength of the protagonist, and also, it is inevitable to have a confrontation with another high school manga artist.

The sense of anticipation for the follow-up plot is full.

Well......

If there's one thing that frustrates Tachibana Gim, it's that Comic Future is too glaring, and if only the magazine were Shonen Leap.

Tachibana picked up the pen and changed the name of the magazine to "Leap", then bowed slightly, satisfied with the change.
