Chapter 175: Genius Cartoonist

"Suddenly Looking Back" is a short story by the talented manga artist Fujimoto, which became a global sensation when it was published. also won the first place on the 2022 [This comic is really powerful] list.

The manga artist's most famous work is "Chainsaw Man", a work with a strong personal style, where the royal road and the evil way go hand in hand. Although it was serialized in the weekly shonen manga, the real positioning should be the 16 banned youth manga.

In the era of the decline of print media, it almost supported the façade of JUMP.

And those new generation of façade cartoonists who are as famous as him, whether it is painting skills or storytelling, to be honest, they can't be compared with it at all.

Needless to say, people who really understand anime should be able to understand the gap between the two popular anime, "Demon Slayer" and "Jujutsu Kaisen", and "Chainsaw Man".

Whether it's a painting or a plot, it's not a high-level work.

One is to need the cartoonist to kowtow to the animation team, and the other is to wait for the animation team to kowtow to themselves.

Since his debut, Fujimoto has been receiving a lot of attention. The first comic, "Fist of Fire", explores nihilism, a terminally ill work that became famous in one fell swoop; The second comic "Chainsaw Man", the style has been somewhat restrained, using some of the setting routines of the royal road shonen manga, but the personal style is still strong and colorful, which directly attracts the attention of comic fans all over the world.

After two full-length works, Kei Fujiwara began to recreate his short works. As soon as "Suddenly Looking Back" was released, it immediately topped the Twitter trend.

This comic is also regarded as a masterpiece because of its movie-like pictures, delicate feelings, and warm and healing stories. Even some Chinese cartoonists have expressed the feeling that "the vine tree is invincible".

What's more, the manga was released on July 18, the second anniversary of the KyoAni arson, and the plot in the manga commemorates the people who died as a result of the malicious arson.

Fujiwara Kei didn't say a word, and began to write, pouring all the stories in his memory on the paper.

Fujimoto's works themselves are very suitable for adaptation into images, and each of his comics can be used as a movie storyboard, and it can be said that the direct adaptation into a movie script can be said to complement each other.

Nagaharu Ohno helped Kei Fujiwara turn on the lamp, watched him write hard under the lamp, and sat behind him silently waiting.

After drinking a can of beer, Nagaharu Ohno quickly took another can from the refrigerator and also took potato chips and dried fish for him to make snacks.

It became dark outside the window, the lights in the room were dim, and Nagaharu Ohno leaned against the wall and read the manga, I don't know how long it took, Kei Fujiwara stretched.

Two cans of beer were drunk, and potato chips and dried fish were eaten down to wrapping paper.

Nagaharu Ohno closed the manga, walked over, looked at the sprinkling words on the paper, and asked, "Finished writing?"

"Hmm." Kei Fujiwara rubbed his face to keep himself awake, "This is just the first version, the lines are not detailed enough, but the plot is complete, you take a look at it first, and I'll revise it tomorrow."

"Okay."

Nagaharu Ohno continued, "You can sleep at my house today, the three rooms are empty, you can sleep anywhere. You've had a drink today, so it's better not to drive."

Kei Fujiwara rubbed his somewhat messy hair, nodded, and walked out of the room.

After Kei Fujiwara left, Nagaharu Ohno lit a cigarette, held it in his mouth, picked up the script that Kei Fujiwara had just written, and read it.

With the alternation of light and dark at the cigarette butt, the cigarette in Ohno's mouth gradually shortened and burned until the cigarette holder, but Ohno Choji was unaware.

After a long time, Nagaharu Ohno pressed the cigarette holder into the ashtray and sighed, "Fujiwara-kun, you are really a genius......

Early the next morning, Kei Fujiwara got out of bed early and took a taxi to the TV station.

The low pressure still gripped the crew, and Yui Mizuhara was pushing herself to do her duties as a producer, but a deep tiredness could still be seen in her brows.

"How's it going? Did the shooting go well?" Kei Fujiwara asked Kobayashi Shuzodo.

"It's okay, the actor's mood is much more stable than two days ago." Osamu Kobayashi

Dao building.

"Fujiwara-sensei." During a break from shooting, Inoue Mori approached Kei Fujiwara again, "Can you take me home today?"

"What's wrong?" Kei Fujiwara asked.

Sen lowered his head again, crossed his fingers and said, "I want to ...... After filming, I'll go to East Ani to mourn Miss Naomi."

Kei Fujiwara touched her head and smiled, "Mori is really a gentle child...... Okay, no problem."

In the evening, Kei Fujiwara took Mori to a nearby flower shop again and bought daisies.

The owner of the flower shop, an old woman over sixty years old, saw them buy daisies and asked, "Are you here to mourn those who died in the fire?"

Sen nodded again.

The old woman sighed, and pulled out a cluster of small white flowers from behind her, and in the yellow bouquet in Sen You's hand, "This is for you, please bring my sorrows to the deceased."

"Thank you."

The two walked to the vicinity of the East Ani company, and when they looked up, they could see a corner of the charred building, which was full of people standing outside the company's outer wall, and a row of bouquets and souvenirs were placed at the base of the wall.

There are many drawings drawn by children, inlaid in picture frames, and erected in the corners of the walls. Although the paintings are immature, it can be seen that they are full of emotion, and the paintings are the works of the deceased painters of East Ani.

The corner of the wall outside Higashi Ani was already full of gifts from people who had come to mourn, and Morimata didn't know where to place the bouquet, so he walked around the Higashi Ani company before finding a stone staircase suitable for placing the bouquet.

Mori bent down again to place the bouquet on it, and took out a cartoon that he had carefully drawn, drawing Miss Naomi, who had given the painting to Morimata, and spread it under the bouquet.

Mori stood up again, clasped his hands together, but didn't know what to say for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he whispered, "Miss Naomi, I wish you a happy day......

She suddenly turned around, "Fujiwara-sensei, isn't that inappropriate?"

Kei Fujiwara touched her head and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, Miss Naomi will receive your heart."

Kei Fujiwara and Morimata were just about to leave, when a figure came in front of them, and Oshii-an stumbled over.

His face was very bad, and his body still exuded the sour smell of fermented alcohol, and he glanced at Fujiwara Kei with tired eyes, and said, "Fujiwara-san, you are here too."

"Oshii......" Kei Fujiwara looked at Oshii-an, "Are you okay?"

"Not good." "I'm in a bad mood right now, and there's always something coming up from the depths of my heart, like dirty water in a sewer. That's why I have to keep drinking so I can feel better."

After saying that, Oshii-an staggered away.

Kei Fujiwara stared at him and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Fujiwara-sensei, is he really okay like this?" Sen asked with some concern.

"It's a necessary process...... I'll just get through it." Fujiwara Keidao, "Don't bother him until then."
