Roaming through the world of Doraemon

Although Ye Tiancheng initially joined the club with the intention of seeing girls, he still learned some knowledge about animation production during his time in the club. He had no problem with simple storyboarding and drawing.

"I learned a little bit in school clubs and from my art teacher, so I can do some simple comic book editing. Besides, I have you, Doraemon." Ye Tiancheng said to Doraemon with a shameless grin.

"Ugh, you're making me fetch props again. This time you're making me go to the future to get the 600,000 loan for the gravity regulator that I haven't paid off yet. What props are you going to make me fetch this time? The props for making this comic in the future are all very old and hard to find, and they're very expensive." Doraemon said with a pained expression when he heard Ye Tiancheng was going to make him fetch props again.

"Haha, Doraemon, please help me out! I believe that with the artwork I create for this manga, we can not only pay off the loan on the props, but we'll also have plenty of money left over to do other things." Looking at Doraemon jumping up and down in front of him, Ye Tiancheng laughed and kept begging Doraemon with his head down.

Upon arriving in this world, Ye Tiancheng realized that the gadgets Doraemon kept taking out of his pocket in the original story actually cost money. Although the future was advanced, it was still a commodity society. If you need something, you have to pay for it. This unchanging rule of human society also applied to this future robot cat.

During the few days Ye Tiancheng spent with Doraemon, he discovered that Doraemon actually had a tough time. Compared to his sister Dorami, most of the gadgets Doraemon used were second-hand or discounted items from a future department store. Even the time machine, a must-have for future families, was a convertible product bought from the second-hand market. It was not even in the same league as his sister's Tulip Time Machine. The unfairness of birth between people also exists in the robot society.

"Doraemon, believe me, we will definitely succeed this time." Ye Tiancheng kept encouraging Doraemon, helping him to build his confidence.

"Nobita, I'll go to the future and buy a machine to make manga, but this is really the last time. If your manga doesn't make money, we'll really go bankrupt this time." Doraemon said firmly through gritted teeth as he watched Ye Tiancheng keep encouraging him.

After finally convincing Doraemon, Ye Tiancheng made a rough decision about which comic he would imitate. His first comic was to be based on Naruto, one of the three major shonen manga of the future.

When talking about comics from later generations, the first ones that come to mind are Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece, which are known as the "Big Three Shonen Manga". Each of these three comics has become a masterpiece with fans all over the world and immense popularity.

Oda's Naruto successfully transformed ninjas—who were originally hidden in the shadows, using the world's strongest willpower and most arduous efforts to do the most secretive and cruel things—into the most proud and infinitely bright profession under the sun. In Masashi Kishimoto's ninja world, every young ninja is forging their own ninja way.

Ye Tiancheng had his own considerations when choosing this comic. In present-day Japan, a novel full of national characteristics and passionate spirit is bound to resonate with people, and it might even surpass the influence of his previous life!

Once my Naruto manga becomes a hit, all my hopes and ideas can be put into practice!

P.S.: I apologize for taking the day off yesterday. Some readers commented on my behavior in the book review section today, and I apologize again. Although I had reasons for needing to take the day off, taking leave is wrong no matter what. I hope you readers will continue to support me. Please consider adding this to your favorites, giving it flowers, and leaving a review. Thank you!

Chapter Nine: The Cartoonist in the Can (Please add to your favorites, I'm so moved!)

Soon after taking Doraemon to a stationery store and buying bags and bags of drawing paper and art supplies, Ye Tiancheng regretted it. Not for any other reason than that Ye Tiancheng discovered that all these things were useless after Doraemon went to the future, and these useless materials undoubtedly made Ye Tiancheng and Doraemon's financial deficit even tighter.

"Nobita, look, this mind-reading paper I brought back from the future will definitely help your comics. With this mind-reading paper, as long as you think of a certain scene, the mind-reading paper will display that scene. That way, you only need to conceive the scene and you don't have to worry about drawing anymore. Most importantly, this 10,000-size mind-reading paper only costs 100,000 yen, which is much cheaper than the gravity regulator!"

After Doraemon went to the stationery store with Ye Tiancheng to buy things, he immediately went to the Future Department Store to purchase props for comic creation, as instructed by Ye Tiancheng.

It must be said that after spending a few days with Ye Tiancheng, Doraemon's personality in the original work was gradually influenced by Ye Tiancheng's behavior, and he gradually transformed into a pragmatist, tirelessly cooperating with Ye Tiancheng's plans and ideas.

"I completely forgot that there's such a thing as telekinetic drawing paper in the world of Doraemon. If I had known there was telekinetic drawing paper, I wouldn't have bought the materials. What a waste of money. It's only been a few days into the month, and it looks like my family won't be giving me any allowance. I'll have to think of other ways to make money." Looking at his empty piggy bank, Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but feel anxious about money.

Ye Tiancheng originally thought he could make a name for himself by using Doraemon's gadgets after arriving in this world, but reality gave him a resounding slap in the face. Although some of Doraemon's gadgets are sold as toys, their power is beyond description. In order to obtain these gadgets that are ahead of their time, one has to pay money and effort that are also beyond their time.

"Well, are you surprised to see the Mind Drawing Paper? I also have a tin can studio here that's designed to complement the Mind Drawing Paper for creative purposes. You can stay in this studio all day and only spend an hour outside. It's quiet and convenient, and I'm sure you'll love it!" With that, Doraemon took a two-meter-long tin can from his four-dimensional pocket and placed it on the tatami mat in Nobita's room.

Ye Tiancheng was somewhat startled when he saw Doraemon take out such a large can from his pocket. Although he had seen this can in the comics before, the visual impact of actually seeing it in front of you was completely different.

"Da Xiong, the most ingenious thing about this canning workshop is the design of the inside of the cans. Let me show you."

As Doraemon spoke, he took out a huge board from his pocket, pried open the jar, and jumped into it without looking back. Seeing Doraemon jump into the jar, Ye Tiancheng also leaped into the jar.

Once inside the can, Ye Tiancheng truly discovered that the can, which didn't look very big from the outside, actually contained a workspace of about 100 square meters.

Inside the can, two rows of tall bookshelves lined both sides of the space. Upon closer inspection, Ye Tiancheng discovered that the thousands of books densely packed on the shelves were all about comic book creation, including comic book materials and the history of comic book development.

"How about that? Were you scared by what's inside the can? The space inside is a specially expanded four-dimensional space, different from the outside world. The flow of time inside is different from the outside. You can set it to ten years if you want, but even so, only one hour will pass in the outside world."

Seeing Ye Tiancheng's surprised expression upon arriving at the canning workshop for the first time, Doraemon proudly explained the special aspects of canning work to him.

"Four-dimensional space, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a small world?" As Ye Tiancheng listened to Doraemon explain the special features of the four-dimensional space, he couldn't help but think of the small worlds in Chinese fantasy novels.

Ye Tiancheng clearly remembered that the small world in the fantasy novel was set as an alternate space independent of reality, where the flow of time could be controlled. What surprised Ye Tiancheng was that the small world he had envied so much in China had actually been realized in Doraemon's world in this way.

"Nobita, look, this is the food preparation station! Whatever you want to eat, just tell the computer the name, and this station will instantly make a delicious meal for you. This station comes with a month's worth of ingredients when you buy the canned food workshop. Nobita, you can create your manga here without any worries!" - Doraemon

As he spoke, he took a freshly baked dorayaki from the food preparation table and ate it in front of Ye Tiancheng.

With a 100-square-meter workspace, thousands of books, a free work platform and environment, and unlimited creative time, Ye Tiancheng really felt that if he couldn't draw Naruto in such a perfect work environment, he might as well just die.

"Oh right, Nobita, I almost forgot that there's also this box-like animation production machine that comes with it. You just put the comic into the drawer of this box, and it can immediately produce high-quality animation. It can even automatically match and synthesize the voice-over based on the database, all in one step."

An animation production machine! Ye Tiancheng was utterly shocked when he saw the gray-brown leather suitcase that Doraemon took out of his pocket. Canned food workshop, mind drawing paper, animation production machine—Doraemon had it all at once, from the source of comics to the production of animation.

Doraemon may not understand the function of this animation production machine, but for Ye Tiancheng, such a complete animation industry chain prop can really save him a lot of trouble in the future. With such a set of props, Ye Tiancheng is fully confident that he can bring all the good comics on Earth to this world and make money from Japanese comics in return.

Chapter Ten: Nobita's God-Level Manga

"Long ago, there was a demonic fox that plagued the human world. It had nine tails, and when it shook its tail, mountains would collapse and seas would tsunami, causing great suffering to the people. So, the people gathered ninjas..."

Ye Tiancheng sat at the workbench in the canned food workshop, holding the mind drawing paper given to him by Doraemon, racking his brains to think about the plot of Naruto.

As a seasoned Naruto fan, Ye Tiancheng's love for the manga far surpasses his love for the weekly anime. Although watching the anime is more relaxing and enjoyable than watching the manga, Ye Tiancheng finds the manga more immersive and exciting. After all, compared to the anime, the manga updates are more direct and faster, and the reader's experience is more immersive.

Ye Tiancheng was working at his workbench, creating original illustrations of Naruto page by page. It has to be said that Doraemon's mind drawing paper is really amazing. As long as he thinks about the plot of the original work, the mind drawing paper will immediately record the scene that appears in his mind. In less than a second, Ye Tiancheng can get an original manuscript that is exactly the same as the original work.

It was precisely because of Doraemon's mental drawing paper that Ye Tiancheng only needed to think about and recall the plot of the original work, and the original manuscript would be generated continuously like a spring. As a result, Ye Tiancheng unknowingly completed the creation of the first fifty chapters of Naruto.

"I didn't expect it to be finished so quickly. The combination of this canned food studio and the mind drawing paper is simply a killer weapon for making comics. With this combination, I believe that not only shonen manga like Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach, but even manga like Dragon Ball can shine in this world in my hands. Looks like I need to make some plans."

Ye Tiancheng looked at the stack of comic book manuscripts in front of him, resting his chin on his hand, thoughtfully considering some plans.

Although Ye Tiancheng finished fifty chapters of Naruto in a matter of minutes, fifty chapters would be enough for other ordinary comic studios to update for a year, provided that there are no breaks, delays, or force majeure events.

Now that Ye Tiancheng has this anime set, it means that in about a week, he can complete the amount of work that Oda did in the original work over ten years. In just one month, he can finish all the shonen manga. At this rate, it won't be long before Ye Tiancheng can handle the entire content of a magazine, which would take more than ten years to complete.

"boom!"

Just as Ye Tiancheng was thinking about using his mind to draw some other animations, Doraemon used a wrench to open the canned food workshop from the outside.

"Nobita, are you done with your comic? Mom's calling us for dinner. If you don't come out soon, she'll get angry!" Doraemon called out from outside the can.

"It's ready, it'll be up shortly."

Ye Tiancheng picked up the original comic manuscript from the workbench, slowly rose up from the canned food workshop, jumped onto the tatami mat, and casually handed the manuscript to Doraemon.

"Nobita, this is the comic you drew. Let me see." Doraemon took the comic Ye Tiancheng handed him and buried his head in it to read it.

"Yes, about ninjas," Ye Tiancheng replied meaningfully, looking at Doraemon who was sitting on the tatami mat engrossed in reading a comic book.

After receiving the Doraemon comic book from Ye Tiancheng, I was immediately captivated by the vast world and characters of Naruto. The protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki, suffered neglect from the villagers since childhood and desperately tried to attract everyone's attention through pranks. In order to gain everyone's recognition and become the Fifth Hokage, Naruto worked hard towards his goal with the support of a group of friends.

"Nobita, Doraemon, do you two still want to eat dinner? If not, you can just stay upstairs!" Nobita Tamako looked at the stairs in her house and, seeing that Doraemon and Nobita hadn't come down for a long time, shouted angrily upstairs.

Seeing that Nobi Tamako hadn't waited for him and Doraemon and was walking up the stairs in a huff, Ye Tiancheng nudged Doraemon and kept gesturing to him.

"Nobita, Nobita, this manga is so interesting! Is there more to it? What happened to Naruto later?" Doraemon was nudged by Ye Tiancheng and suddenly came to his senses, clinging to Ye Tiancheng's arm and begging for more details about the story.

"Alright, stop rocking around. There's more to the story. Let's go downstairs and eat first, or Mom will get angry." Ye Tiancheng urged Doraemon, and the two of them carried the comic book down the stairs.

"You two are coming down the stairs so slowly, are you not really looking forward to dinner?"

While cooking in the kitchen, Nobi Tamako watched Ye Tiancheng and Doraemon dawdling as they came downstairs. She threw down her ladle and angrily said to them.

"No, Mom, Nobita drew a super amazing comic book, it's super interesting!" Doraemon had only been at Nobita's house for a few days when he became part of the family. His family treated him like one of them, so Doraemon started calling Nobita's daughter "Mom".

"Manga! Nobita, when did you learn to draw manga?" Nobi Shinsuke, who was sitting firmly in the middle of the restaurant reading the newspaper, looked up and asked in surprise.

"I learned a little bit, and then I wrote a story and drew it." Ye Tiancheng calmly sat down in the chair and handed the original manuscript of the manga in Doraemon's hand to Nobita Shinsuke across the table.

"Oh! Let me see how well it's drawn!" Nobi Shinsuke put down his newspaper and picked up Ye Tiancheng's comic book with great interest.

Nobita Shinsuke was captivated from the moment he started reading, just like Doraemon had been. He couldn't stop. He flipped through the manuscript page by page, his adrenaline surging. Looking at his son's comics, he felt as if he had returned to his youth, his blood boiling.

"Great! The drawing is fantastic! Not only is the story great, but the drawing skills are top-notch!" Nobi Shinsuke exclaimed excitedly, slapping the table.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? You get so excited about reading a comic book!" Nobi Tamako, who was cooking dinner by the stove, asked Nobi Shinsuke, who looked completely dazed.

Nobi Shinsuke put down his manga, looked at Ye Tiancheng with surprise, and said seriously to Nobi Tamako:

"Tamako, you don't understand. After reading this manga, I felt like I was back in my youth, full of passion, memories, and energy. I think our son's manga will be a hit all over Japan!"

Chapter Eleven: Comic Submission (Please add to your favorites!)

"Is Nobita's manga really as amazing as you say?" Nobi Tamako asked, full of doubt, after hearing Nobi Shinsuke's lavish praise of Ye Tiancheng.

"Hmm, in my opinion, Nobita's comic is much more interesting than most comics on the market. If Nobita were to submit it for publication, it might not be any worse than theirs. Maybe our family will produce a manga master who can stand on his own in the future!"

Nobi Shinsuke put down his manuscript and looked at Ye Tiancheng across the table, his expression quite complicated as he recalled a past event.

If I hadn't refused the wealthy family's offer to marry into my family back then, I might still be painting now, or even a famous writer. It's a pity I gave up. But thankfully, my son, Nobita, has inherited my strengths. I hope he can go further and further down this path, persevere, and pick up what he gave up when he was young.

"Nobita, what do you plan to do with these manuscripts? Are you going to submit them to magazines? Have you made any choices?" Nobita Shinsuke asked Ye Tiancheng with concern, looking at the manuscripts on the table.

"I've already chosen two magazines, 'Teen Comics' and 'Manke,' and I think they're both pretty good. Once I've done the final polishing on this batch of manuscripts, I'll submit them to them and give it a try."

Japanese animation in the 1980s, after a period of adjustment following World War II, had developed into an animation system with distinct Eastern characteristics, different from Disney cartoons. During this period, shonen manga and manga-related works, which represent Japanese animation, were most famous in Japan.

However, it was precisely because of the booming development of Japanese manga that a large number of manga magazines sprang up like mushrooms after rain before the manga industry had grown big enough. But because of so many magazines, after the market's fierce competition, only shonen manga and comic magazines remained.

However, these two magazines have not had an easy time in recent years. Post-war Japanese cultural and sports industries were influenced by American culture, which led to the style of comics being limited to the strong hero model. Large batches of hero comics were produced and sold on the market like an assembly line, which resulted in readers' aversion to this type of comic.

Although readers have many complaints about these comics, compared to the monotonous comics on the market today, having a comic with a unique style to read is truly a blessing.

This also shows that the market demand has changed. The shonen manga was lucky enough to receive a manga called "Lion Mask" that made their magazine the number one manga magazine in Japan. This manga was not like the rigid superhero manga of the past. Instead, it tells the story of a lion man who becomes a superhero. The setting was very innovative for this era. However, it was only average, because it did not break out of the big picture of superhero manga.

In the original work, Suneo repeatedly asked his father's friend to find unreleased chapters of the manga "Lion Mask" from within the shonen manga community. Every time Suneo brought an unreleased copy of "Lion Mask" to Gian and Nobita, they would drool with envy, showing just how popular the manga was. However, with the arrival of Ye Tiancheng's Naruto, all of this will be changed by Ye Tiancheng.

"Boys' Comics and Comic Magazine are both great magazines. Dad was a loyal reader of them when he was in middle school!"

Nobi Shinsuke encouraged Ye Tiancheng with great anticipation when he heard that Ye Tiancheng wanted to submit his manuscript to these two magazines.

"Nobita, I hope you can publish your manga in these two magazines. I'm really curious to know if Naruto actually became Hokage in the end." Doraemon sat next to Ye Tiancheng, his mouth wide open as he ate the salt-grilled saury made by Nobita Tamako, occasionally interjecting with a comment.

Dinner time always seems too short. Tonight, the whole family's focus was on Ye Tiancheng and his Naruto manga. Nobi Shinsuke recounted his art-learning days through the manga, Nobi Tamako saw her son growing up little by little, which made her feel gratified, and Doraemon saw himself gradually integrating into the family through the manga.

It has been ten days since he came to this world. Perhaps because this body originally belonged to Nobita Nobi, Ye Tiancheng has gradually adapted to the taste of Japanese cuisine, natto rice and miso soup. Time has made the young man from the Celestial Empire slowly become more in sync with this world. Living is about changing the world.

"Nobita, how did you come up with this ninja story? It's so interesting! This book is much more interesting than 'Lion Mask' which we read this afternoon. You'll definitely surpass it." After dinner, the two returned to their small room on the second floor. Doraemon sat on the tatami mat and asked Ye Tiancheng excitedly.

"Haha, the comics on the market are too old-fashioned and monotonous, so I thought of drawing a comic that truly belongs to the Japanese people. First of all, I considered ninjas, and then I drew this comic."

When Ye Tiancheng saw Doraemon asking this question, he calmly gave the reason he had already prepared. Ye Tiancheng simply couldn't tell anyone that he had copied this from the internet in another world. After all, the reason that was close to the truth was too absurd, and no one would believe it. Perhaps even the robot cat in front of him didn't know he existed.

"You're really amazing, Nobita! Listening to you has always been the right thing to do!" Doraemon said firmly after hearing Ye Tiancheng's explanation and recalling the various situations that had happened before.

Looking at Doraemon's bright eyes and the surge of enthusiasm that filled him with, Ye Tiancheng knew that this guy had already half-brainwashed him. As long as he worked hard and established his authority in Doraemon's mind, Doraemon would be considered one of his people from now on.
