After Kitamura hung up Kentaro Miyamoto's phone, he cheered himself up, like a continuous cry after the victory of one side of the Japanese army during the Warring States period.

He was about to draw a comic when the phone he was holding in his right hand rang again. I looked down at the caller ID on the screen, and it turned out to be my mother.

Kenichi Kitamura pressed the green answer button again, attached it to his right ear, and said impatiently, "What's the matter with you?"

Kitamura's mother said bluntly, "It's getting hot, you remember to drink more water. By the way, I've called you a few times before, but it's always busy.

Who are you talking to? You've been talking for so long? Could it be the girlfriend you made in Tokyo?"

Kenichi Kitamura replied truthfully, "No. The other party is a man."

Kitamura's mother will be suspicious, "You can talk so vigorously with a boy?"

Kenichi Kitamura didn't want to explain too much, "You should be my girlfriend in Tokyo!"

Kitamura's mother was concerned: "You kid, you can't always make people worry. How are you doing in Tokyo? Need money? If not, then go back to your hometown!"

Kenichi Kitamura wouldn't ask for money even if he needed it now. If he asks for money, and isn't he clearly telling his family, is he not doing well?

Like most people who work hard in Beijing, he is obviously not doing well, and in order to reassure the people in his family, he told a white lie that everyone would tell: "I'm doing well!

The store manager told me not long ago that he wanted me to become a regular. However, I didn't want to become a regular. Mom, you know, my dream is to be a cartoonist.

It was with this dream in mind that I left my hometown and came to Tokyo. After years of hard work, it has finally come to fruition.

The editor-in-charge of the publishing house told me that the comics I drew not only had great potential, but also sold well and became more and more popular.

He also advised me to become a cartoonist full-time. I really don't need money, you better keep it for yourself! You don't have to be reluctant to spend money on yourself.

When I have time, I'll go back to my hometown to visit you. I'm trying to get home this year's Obon. Ay...... I have so much work that I can't keep busy."

When Kitamura's mother heard her son say this, she was immediately overjoyed, and she didn't distinguish between truth and falsehood at all, and said, "Mom is really happy for you. My son is really promising."

Kitamura Kenichi knew that what he said was false, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "I'm not a big deal, but I just have a small achievement." br>

Kitamura's mother said in her heart, "Son! Mom thinks you should still accept the change of work level. Of course, Mom didn't mean to make you give up drawing comics.

Although I don't know much about comics, I also know that the income from drawing comics is unstable. You'd say I'm old-fashioned, but it's better to have a long-term stable job."

Kenichi Kitamura's face only had a helpless response, "I'll think about it."

Kitamura's mother said, "You must think carefully and never act impulsively. You can draw comics that sell money now, but can you guarantee that you will be able to do the same in the future?

What if, I'm just talking about just in case, you won't be able to draw comics that sell money in the future, and you're old, but what should you do? What do you rely on to survive?

I remember clearly that Keigo Higashino voluntarily quit his job and decided to write full-time, also because he won the 31st Edogawa Ranpo Award for "After School".

and comics, even if they are two different professions, also have the same characteristics. Both professional writers and professional cartoonists will have creative bottlenecks.

Not only that, but they will also face a low point in their careers. Mom's meaning is that once you've created a popular manga, it's not too late to become a manga artist full-time."

Kitamura Kenichi knew she was doing it for her own good, and said, "Mom, drawing manga is not as simple as you think. If it weren't for me

In order to earn a living expenses, I don't go to a convenience store to work.

If I really want to stay in a convenience store for the rest of my life, I definitely don't want to. I don't want to live that life where I can see the end at a glance.

After I accepted the convenience store regularization, it was at best a way for me to become a convenience store manager in the future. I will really become a social animal in my future life.

Even if she has a wife, she is just that kind of ordinary-looking woman, and she is not cute. If I had another child, I would be under a lot of financial pressure.

If I choose to become a cartoonist, the possibilities are endless. Once I succeed completely, it will directly be fame and fortune.

Not only can I have a lovely girlfriend, but more than one, and I can live a high quality of life that most people envy.

Even if you have a child in the future, you don't have to worry too much. I can still afford to send my children to private schools, and I won't let them go down the same path I used to do."

Kitamura's mother understood his thoughts and said, "Mom, as a person who has come over, can tell you very responsibly that girls are cute, or average-looking, and after you have been watching for a long time, it will be similar.

I just think you should choose a more secure path in life, rather than a life path that is full of too many uncertainties.

Although cartoonists have achieved both fame and fortune, they are all successful cartoonists. How many of the people who are engaged in manga creation in Japan have been successful?

As far as I know, the cartoonist of "Demon Slayer" Wu Yu Shiqing has personally said that he is about to give up comic creation several times, and he has doubted that he is not suitable for this profession.

Even if "Demon Slayer Blade" has been serialized, it once faced the fate of being cut in half. As for the other comics, it's nowhere near as good as it."

Kitamura Kenichi was surprised and said, "Mom, you still know Demon Slayer's Blade?"

Kitamura's mother had one thing to say, "Who made my son obsessed with manga creation and want to become a professional manga artist?"

Kitamura Kenichi was immediately moved, but at the same time, he never gave up his ideals and went to the underworld with a path: "Demon Slayer Blade is a slow-burning work. It didn't catch fire at first, and it was normal.

What's more, before Hu Shiqing painted the representative work of "Demon Slayer", he also went through a long period of accumulation to get to where he is today.

There is also the cartoonist Tatsuya Endo of "Spy Playing Home", and it was only when he was forty years old that he had such a popular work. He lasted even longer."
