Chapter 139: A New Assistant
"Hello, I'm Yayoi Hattori."
After shaking hands with Miyamae Ken, Yayoi began to talk to him about work.
Miyamae Ken didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "When can Hattori-sensei finish the first word?" ”
Yayoi thought for a moment and said, "Now I have 27 pages of finished manuscript in my hand, and the first word has a total of 50 pages. It can be done by Thursday. ”
"Then there's something wrong." Miyamae Ken's tone was calm, "The publication date of 'Victory Jump' is Friday of the following week, and if it is Thursday, it will be too late. I'll have to wait until next month. ”
If it is serialized again next month, the time is too short. It's January and the Dragon Festival is April. If you don't hurry up, you won't be able to help the girls.
Yayoi's heart sank and asked, "When is the deadline?" ”
Do you want to serialize it so much? Miyamae Sword was a little surprised, Hattori-sensei is not a newcomer after all, is there any reason?
But he doesn't care about anything other than work.
"Tuesday. If it is done before 5 p.m. on Tuesday, it can be handed to the printing house at the last minute. ”
"I see." Yayoi decided to break the boat, his eyes were firm, "Please come to the studio next Tuesday to get the first draft of "Sakura Mission"!" ”
"It took less than four days to complete the 23-page manga draft," Yoshida pursed his lips and muttered, "Can you make time?" ”
"No problem," Yayoi replied with a smile, "and now I only have one word of Infinite Terror left in my hand, and I have to adapt to the rhythm of the double opening." ”
With 20 pages of "Infinite Terror" and 12 pages of "Sakura Mission", Yayoi has a long way to go to complete a 32-page manga draft in a week!
Miyamae Ken's eyes were sharp, and he understood why Yayoi, who was just a teenager, would become the pillar of the weekly jump.
Hattori-sensei, who is in charge of working so hard, will have an easy time in the future.
……
"We now have only one principle, and that is the liver!" After sending off the editors, Yayoi put his hands behind his back and said to the assistants who came to the studio, "23 pages, that's not a small number!" ”
Miss Ashisu rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "It's not because of you. ”
However, Miss Ashisu is used to it.
"Hehe," Yayoi smirked, "I'm sorry for you." ”
"23 pages, 4 days, which means 6 pages every day." Eluma folded her fingers and counted, "I used to draw only 3~4 pages a day. ”
"Can you really get busy?" Natsume asked worriedly, sitting at the remaining work table after Harima left.
I don't know if I don't draw comics, but since he started drawing "One Punch Man", he has learned the difficulty of drawing comics.
About three weeks have passed since the beginning of the drawing, and under the guidance of Miss Ashisu, Natsume has only completed 17 pages.
"It's okay to hold on." Miss Ashisu said steadily.
"It's reliable!" Yayoi was very impressed!
"But!" Miss Ashisu spread her hands helplessly, "It's not just now, Hattori-sensei has started serializing it in a monthly magazine." You can't keep overclocking, right? ”
She accentuated her tone and sighed for the uneasy Hattori Yayoi.
"There is a solution to this, and the Miyamae editor of "Victory Jump" will help me find another assistant."
Although chubby, it is unexpectedly reliable. Yayoi remembered that when Miyazen Ken was discussing "Sakura Mission", he also helped Yayoi find shortcomings.
After all, he's always drawn combat-oriented comics, and suddenly starting inspirational comics will always be a little uncomfortable.
Although it is not enough to draw Yuno and them as DIO style.
"Will there be a new assistant? I'm really looking forward to it, I don't know what it will be like? Miss Ashisu held her chin in her hands and thought about it.
"I wish it was cute."
"I really envy you, I don't want to contact strangers, alas." Yayoi patted her cheek, "Don't say anything, start drawing manga!" ”
……
What Yayoi didn't expect was that Miyamae Ken was much stronger than Yoshida, and by Monday he had brought a new assistant.
"Hattori-sensei, pay more attention to your body." Miyamae Jian frowned, Yayoi's dark circles were too heavy.
"I know, I know." For the care of others, Yayoi accepts it with an open heart. However, whether it can be implemented or not depends on the situation.
"You are?" Looking up at the assistant, Yayoi asked.
"I'm Umetaro Nozaki, please take care of me, Hattori-sensei."
"Hello." Yayoi asked in amazement, "How tall are you?" ”
"190 cm, what's wrong?"
"It's okay......" Yayoi, who is only 170 centimeters, is bitter in her heart.
"Nozaki, he's a very capable and promising manga artist," said him, but Miyamaeken's tone was boring, "so the teacher can trust him." ”
"Brother Sword!"
Umetaro Nozaki, who has always been with a straight face and dead fish eyes, was teary-eyed and moved.
"Hi, hi." Miyamae Ken just said that.
"Tell Hattori-sensei about your actual situation."
"Yes!" Nozaki Metaro was full of energy, and a series of messages broke out, "Nozaki Metaro, 15 years old! The first year of Yagami High School! Good at drawing people! Complete! ”
"Wow!" Looking at Umetaro Nozaki, who seemed to be a different person, Yayoi became interested in this assistant.
"No... Wrong! Yayoi reacted and asked mechanically, "How old are you?" ”
"15 years old!" Umetaro Nozaki replied.
"190 centimeters at 15 years old, oh my God."
Isn't 170 cm too short for me, Yayoi complains to himself.
Miyamae Ken kept his eyes on it, keeping his rhythm in mind, and he asked, "Nozaki, when will he start working?" ”
"The sooner the better, of course." It's like the arrival of Harima, so hurry up and have someone to share the pressure.
"What about you, Nozaki?" Miyazen asked.
"Right now!!" In front of Miyamae Sword, Nozaki Metaro tried his best to express himself.
"That's it, I'll take my leave."
"Brother Jian, I have apples from others at home, but they are sweet, do you want me to give you some, it's good for your health!"
Miyamae Ken ignored Nozaki Metaro's courtesy, bypassed the sofa and walked out of the room and left.
"He's so cool!" Nozaki Metaro's eyes were full of brilliance and said to Yayoi.
"......" is really laughing and crying.
"Nozaki, you just said that you went to high school to Yagami, right?"
"Hmm." After Miyamae Ken left, facing Yayoi, he was paralyzed again.
"That's a lot more convenient." Yayoi introduced him, "I have two serials here, you are in charge of the monthly "Sakura Mission", and there are two beautiful assistants who are in charge of my weekly "Infinite Terror". Working hours are from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., with one day off per week. It's a bit hard for us students, but it's ......"
"I know. Also ready. Nozaki Metaro said with a firm gaze.
Yayoi understands that Umetaro Nozaki is worthy of becoming a manga artist, and he has already come to his senses.
