There is a text-only manga script on the manuscript paper, as well as a plot character image, an item display map, a background setting map, and a storyboard example that Hideki Hanyu drew with great difficulty.

He also colored everything that had a picture, so what Gennori Kumagai saw was a color version.

Because in his previous life, he had only watched TV animation and theatrical versions of this work, and he had only watched a little bit of the comics, so it took him a lot of energy to come up with these things, which was almost equivalent to semi-originality.

Picking up the cover of the text script, Gennori Kumagai looked at the name on the top of the cover and read it softly.

"Saint Seiya, Seiya"

I saw that under the name, a young man wearing blue and silver armor and winged headbands on both sides of his head was in a punching posture, and his hands danced into phantoms.

Behind it, the dark night sky shimmers with starlight, connected by the light in a Pegasus pattern.

The manga script prepared by Hideki Hanyu for Gennori Kumagai is the masterpiece of neon manga artist Masami Mada and the pinnacle of bloody battle manga "Saint Seiya, Seiya".

It was the emergence of "Saint Seiya" that carried forward the concept of holy armor and gave birth to a series of comics such as "Demon God Altar Fighter".

In later generations, as the first batch of neon animations introduced in China, "Saint Seiya, Seiya" can be described as a childhood memory in the minds of many people, and he played role-playing with his friends, and the second middle school shouted "Pegasus Meteor Fist".

Compared with other manga, "Saint Seiya" was founded by the author Masami Cheda, and Toei, Bandai, and Shueisha Tripartite Capital discovered the great value of the manga, and for the sake of profit, they made a hasty and reckless decision to animate it.

At that time, the manga had not even published the first volume of a single book, and many of the original settings of Masami Sada and the grand mythological background of Saint Seiya had not yet been rolled out, and they were stillborn because of the broadcast of the anime.

The reason is that the TV animation is produced too fast, and the plot even surpasses Masami Cheda's original comics, so many original plots are created, resulting in endless contradictions between the plot of the animation and the original manga, so that Masami Cheda has to give up many of the original settings.

When Hanyu Hideki created this version, he learned from his ideas and created a new fusion version.

For example, in the choice of helmets, he did not use the ugly animated helmet version, but used the type of headband in the comics, but the shape used the classic figure version.

The comic book version of the armor also lacked features and was too rudimentary, so he used a more elaborately designed figure version.

And in terms of the wearing of armor, when the manga Seiya got the armor, he actually needed to wear it manually, and Hanyu Hideki of course chose the animated version of the cool automatic wear.

In addition to the transformation of the shape of the holy clothes, the plot has also been modified, such as the Pope was assassinated by Gemini Sagar, the animated version of the brother setting.

For example, the setting of 100 children according to the Hundred Sons Sacrifice and Mitsumasa Joto was removed, and this kind of bloody setting was not approved by the Ministry of Education's Parents' Association in later generations, and it is even more impossible now.

and Ka Miao and Binghe were originally masters and apprentices, but because the plot of the animation is faster than the comics, the comic Ka Miao has not yet appeared, and the animation first made a crystal fighter master, and directly upgraded Ka Miao from master to master.

The audience was confused when they watched the battle of the Aquarius Palace, why Ka Miao would fight for his life for the apprentice he saw for the first time, the logic was a little inexplicable.

In short, in this version, he tried to make up for the contradiction between the anime and the manga in his previous life, while leaving their respective advantages.

However, due to limited time, the manga script he gave to Kumagai Gennori this time was only to the zodiac chapter, but it can be regarded as the essence of the Saint Seiya.

Therefore, when Gennori Kumagai read the text script of the manga, combined with the color pictures drawn by Hideki Hanyu and the storyboards, it didn't take long for his face to turn red and he said loudly with excitement.

"Hanyu-san, this is a work that spans the ages!"

"Is Kumagai-san happy with this story?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"Of course satisfied, it's just excellent, such a grand and bloody story, with a wonderful holy clothes setting, I dare to guarantee that once this comic is serialized, it will definitely cause a sensation!"

Gennori Kumagai was a little excited, obviously very fond of the story of the Saint Seiya.

Hanyu Hideki can also understand, after all, when the later Saint Seiya was serialized, who was the competitor? It's "Dragon Ball", it's "Fist of the North Dipper".

In that environment of strong enemies, Saint Seiya can still create a great reputation, and in the early eighties, when comic book fans were not baptized by bloody combat comics, it was not the same effect as a nuclear bomb.

"Hanyu-san, although the story is very exciting, these sub-shots are not good enough."

After Kumagai Gennori finished boasting, he also pointed out the problems in the manuscript.

In Kumagai Gennori's opinion, if Hideki Hanyu's story can get full marks, these shots will barely pass the level.

"That's why I'm going to find someone to work with."

"Who are Hanyu-san going to work with?"

"Kumagai-san looks at the style of painting and thinks who is more suitable."

When Gennori Kumagai heard this, he began to confidently look at a few sketches, and compared them with the cartoonists under the banner of "Weekly Shonen Sunday", and found that they were not very suitable.

But he looked at it, and soon remembered someone.

However, thinking of that person's identity, he suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "No wonder Hanyu-san refused to say who he wanted to cooperate with, it turned out to be such a big problem for me." ”

"Kumagai-san can see it?"

"How can you not see it, JUMP's Masami Cheda, the opponent's boxing champion Genesis has made us suffer a lot."

Masami Cheda, who has been serialized since the late 70s, has helped "Weekly Shonen Jump" many times, and the sales of "Weekly Shonen Sunday" have not been able to raise their heads.

As the editor of "Weekly Shonen Sunday", how could Gennori Kumagai not know Masami Sadada, and even know more about this style of painting than the manga artist under his own weekly magazine.

"I already know my choice Kumagai-san, and it's up to Kumagai-san to cooperate next." Hanyu Shushu stall spread.

"Hanyu-san, it's too difficult."

Gennori Kumagai knows that Shueisha's manga artists have signed exclusive serialization agreements, how can a manga artist like Masami Cheda come to serialize comics for competitors.

"You can go and try to talk about it first, and you can also go to Hitotsubashi Publishing Group as an intermediary, but you can't think of other ways."

"Saint Seiya" is Hideki Hanyu's Japanese comic enlightenment cartoon, and he still wants to cooperate with the original author.

Besides, "Weekly Shonen Jump" belongs to Shueisha, and although it is a competitor to Shogakukan, which mastered "Weekly Shonen Sunday", Shueisha was originally a subsidiary of Shogakukan, but later became independent due to style issues.

However, even after independence, Shueisha still established the Hitotsubashi Publishing Group together with Shogakukan and Shirakusensha, and it is still a community of interests at its root.

Even now, Shogakukan holds a large stake in Shueisha, and the two companies also use the shares of the Hitotsubashi Publishing Group.

Therefore, as long as you find a way, it is not without opportunities.
