Chapter 183: The Journey of the Heart
"694 votes!" Yayoi repeated in astonishment.
"I just thought that "Chess Soul" would be the first place in the short story, but I didn't expect it to be so strong!" Yayoi muttered to herself.
"Well, yes, three years of sharpening a sword, Mr. Taro Kawaguchi gave an amazing answer." Yoshida exclaimed, and to be honest, when he saw the number of votes, he thought he had read it wrong.
"694 votes, if I'm not mistaken, this score is already a record in a short comic!" Yayoi smiled bitterly, what he didn't do was actually done by the teacher.
"That's right, starting today, the highest number of votes in the Jump short comic popularity survey is "Chess Soul" with 694 votes!"
……
Mashiro House.
Nobuhiro Mashiro buried himself in drawing comics, and the child was put aside and fell asleep quietly in the crib.
The whole work area is very quiet because of this baby.
The mobile phone screen on the desktop suddenly lit up and shook.
Taro Kawaguchi looked at Mashiro Freedom, smiled happily, and then walked to the living room and answered the phone.
"Chuan... River... Mr. Taro Kawaguchi! Incredible! Aida roared in a loud decibel voice!
Nobuhiro Maki secretly rejoiced that he was lucky to stay away from the work area, otherwise he would have woken up the Great Demon King, and everything would have been bad.
"Is the result of this newspaper out?" As an old fritter in the comic industry, Nobuhiro Mashiro asked directly to the core.
"Hmmm! Well! The results this time are fantastic! Aita seemed to be excited, and through his phone, Nobuhiro Mashiro could figure out how he was spitting.
However, Aita is so excited, it seems that it will be good news, and Nobuhiro Mashiro is looking forward to it even more!
"You may not believe it! This time it's the first place in the jump rankings! Aida said in a very shocked tone, but immediately he changed his tone and said indifferently, "But it's nothing." ”
"First place, I didn't get it once when I serialized "The Legend of Superheroes"." Nobuhiro Mashiro raised an eyebrow and retorted, but he quickly reacted and asked tremblingly, "First place?" Does that mean ......?"
"Hmmm! Congratulations, Mr. Taro Kawaguchi, the number of votes for "Chess Soul" is 694 votes! You've broken the record for so many years of jumping! Finally said the point, Aida's excited fat trembled!
"694 votes..."Nobuhiro Maneshiro repeated, looking up at 45° ahead, tears silently streaming from the corners of his eyes.
"Finally... Finally... Got the results......"
Hard work, sadness, so many years of struggle in comics, the original intention is no longer so important.
He gradually fell in love with comics, and gradually comics became an important part of his life.
Because of Miyuki Haruno, the girl he fell in love with in junior high school, he aspired to become a manga artist from college. Because I didn't understand anything, I didn't get used to the G pen at first, but I have only now corrected it.
There are countless mistakes like this, and it can be said that it took several times more effort to finally have a place on the jump.
But even so, he was quickly cut in half.
It wasn't until the advent of "The Legend of Superheroes" that I could straighten my back and say, I'm a cartoonist, and I can support my family just by relying on comics!
But at this time, when I went to pursue the beautiful girl, she was already 30 years old, and she was... has long been a wife......
From then on, there were only comics in life.
However, the manga did not give him back, and since "The Legend of Superheroes", there have been no animated works. Contribution, rejection, contribution, rejection, contribution, adoption, cut-off......
That's about it.
If there is no Xia Shi, life will only be gloomy.
Because he has no results, he gradually used up his balance and had to rely on Xia Shi's salary to live.
Although she has been encouraging herself, the more she does this, the more tormented she becomes.
I can't make money from a part-time job, so I can't steal a battery car!
My comics, is that all? It turns out that I in the end... Just a loser among gamblers on the road of comics......
Gradually, he became self-defeating, although he didn't stop drawing comics, but he just painted, without serious thinking, without spirituality. Such a comic, it can only be said that it can't be contributed.
At this time, the disciple's Hattori Yayoi suddenly took out a storyboard, that is, the "Fullmetal Alchemist" that changed his fate!
I have to admire, this disciple's talent! An 11-year-old child can sketch such a wonderful work.
I still remember the scene at that time:
"Mr. Taro Kawaguchi, let's work together!" He swore like this.
"Cooperation? No kidding. At that time, I laughed and said. What can an 11-year-old elementary school student do in a comic? Even if you can't serialize, you won't be down to that extent!
It's ridiculous to be proud of yourself now.
"What! Fullmetal Alchemist! Looking at himself in the storyboard, his hands trembled.
"Equivalent exchange, human body training formation, the door of truth... It's so interesting! This will definitely be serialized! ”
"That's all! Let's work together! The child smiled and stretched out his hand, and the sunlight shining through behind him was so dazzling!
"However, Yayoi can do it alone, so you don't need me." That's what my pride says. Yayoi's painter knows that even if he is only 11 years old, if he is calculated with 5 points, he can score 4 points, which is much stronger than his 3 points at the time!
"I was still a kid and needed help from my teachers. My pen name is called Monkey King! ”
……
And just like that, the serialization of "Fullmetal Alchemist" began!
Extreme popular manga!
The pinnacle of their own!
kicked off like this, and from then on, with the increase in popularity, my father-in-law's face also got better.
Money, status, and with it.
But why are you so unwilling?
I don't want to rely on the ability of my apprentice to make a profit; I want to serialize my own comics and tell the story I want to tell; Most importantly, I want to compete with Yayoi! Such a genius, if only cooperation, would be boring!
Such a mood is getting higher and stronger day by day!
Finally, when Yayoi was 14 years old, "Fullmetal Alchemist", which brought a rich reward to himself and was also a shackle, is over!
Just like Yayoi thought, let's start your own story!
However, none of the thoughts in the brain are as good as "Steel Forge", and if there is no progress, what will be said!
So, I decided to go on a tour.
Not only for Xia Shi, but also to increase experience, the more things in your mind, the larger the range you can draw.
In the second year after my trip, I suddenly had an idea to draw Go!
So I made the decision, and I used the rest of the time to enrich my knowledge of Go, conceive the content of the storyboard, and then, back to Neon, back to Jump!
Today, I finally got the results!
Nobuhiro Majo, who thought like this, was stupid for a while.
