Full-time comic artist

With plenty of time before the wedding began, he chatted with Togashi.

"Hunter x Hunter is really interesting. I hope you can keep updating it, sir." Hibiki Higashino said something pointless.

"Haha, I will. Creating Hunter x Hunter is really comfortable," Togashi said with a smile.

Indeed, it has been more than a month since the serialization began, and there hasn't been a single break.

This is equivalent to more than half a year's worth of updates for "LEVEL E".

They're like completely different people now.

Looking at Hibiki Higashino in his suit, Togashi said, "This is the first time I've seen you in a suit. You look quite handsome."

“Right?” Higashino smiled. “But I don’t like wearing suits. They’re too restrictive. If it weren’t for attending Mr. Yamamura’s wedding and having to dress formally, I wouldn’t bother with all that.

"The wedding of the mountain village teacher?" Togashi's eyes lit up.

He became interested.

This reaction puzzled Hibiki Higashino, since Yoshihiro Togashi didn't like crowded places.

"Tori Akino-sensei, is this Togashi-sensei? Thank you for coming to my wedding, please come in."

The groom, Yamamura, stood at the door to greet the guests, loudly calling out to Higashino and the other man.

……

Upon entering the wedding hall, one is greeted by bouquets of flowers everywhere, a testament to the thoughtful arrangement.

In the center of the stage, there were several flower baskets and colorful strips of cloth.

Togashi watched it very carefully, studying it meticulously.

"Are you planning to incorporate this into the manga?" Hibiki Higashino asked.

Yoshihiro Togashi shook his head.

He casually took out his camera and started taking pictures.

Only after taking in the entire view did I sit down, satisfied.

Then came a rambling summary of the setup.

"Mr. Togashi, what brings you here today?" Hibiki Higashino asked.

Judging from his hurried manner, it seems he had something urgent to attend to.

"Ah! I forgot!" Togashi exclaimed in surprise.

Just then, his cell phone rang.

Yoshihiro Togashi's face turned pale instantly.

Then, mustering up the courage, he chose to answer the call.

"Where are you now? Weren't you supposed to be on a date? Why are you so late! What are you thinking about?"

The angry question came from the other side, and Higashino Hibiki heard every single word through the loudspeaker in the somewhat noisy scene.

Judging from the voice, it was Naoko Takeuchi; it turns out the two of them were on a date today.

Abandoning his girlfriend halfway through his journey, Togashi is in for a rough time.

"I'm thinking about marriage," Togashi replied calmly.

"Huh?" Hibiki Higashino exclaimed in surprise.

That was an excellent answer, and sure enough, Naoko Takeuchi on the other side backed down.

This line was a powerful weapon; Togashi easily dealt with Naoko Takeuchi and even showed his romantic side.

Higashino Hibiki should learn from this.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for the long-haired man in front of him.

……

After the wedding, Hibiki Higashino returned to his studio.

Akemi Akemi was drawing and writing, so he went over to her.

"Miss Akimiya, aren't you going to ask me what I did today?"

"Didn't you tell me to attend Mr. Yamamura's wedding?" Akemi Akemi looked at Higashino Hibiki with a puzzled expression.

“Uh…” Higashino Hibiki was taken aback. He managed to say, “Could you ask me? Please.”

Akemi Akemi relented, "Alright, what did you do today?"

“Let’s think about our marriage,” Hibiki Higashino replied.

Akemi Akemi looked at him with concern.

Are you feeling unwell?

Chapter 204 Oda is probably dead

"You're thinking about marriage?" Akemi Akimiya repeated in surprise.

"Why should we consider this? Haven't we already agreed on it?"

Higashino Hibiki was embarrassed and wanted to carve out a four-bedroom apartment.

"You...you woman, you really don't understand romance!"

He angrily spat out his words and retreated back to his room.

"This is really inexplicable," Akemi Akemi said, shaking her head as she watched Hibiki Higashino's retreating figure.

"However... about marriage... hehe."

She giggled foolishly.

……

On Monday, Kazuya Takasugi got up early and went to the supermarket near the school.

It's a little past 8 a.m. now, which is the time of day when people are most tired and listless.

He noticed that many people entered the supermarket with great enthusiasm, and those who came out were holding Jump cigarettes with shining eyes.

"The One Piece manga has reached the 'Cunning Kuro' arc! His scheme is about to be exposed! The climax of Usopp's arc is coming!"

Despite it being early morning, Kazuya Takasugi heard some rather encouraging words.

Jump's One Piece is truly amazing! The imagination of newcomer manga artist Eiichiro Oda is boundless, and readers can't wait to see the latest chapter of One Piece.

Usopp, this timid man, also exudes charm.

This chapter is really interesting!

"Oda-sensei is truly a student of Tori Akino-sensei; his stories are both exciting and moving."

Another one is Hunter x Hunter.

"Togashi-sensei's new manga is so interesting! It's so imaginative."

After passing the old lady's questions and the monster's test, Xiao Jie and his friends finally entered the official venue of the Hunter Exam.

The world of hunters gradually unfolds, with marathons, inferiority complexes, extreme challenges, traps, and many more interesting stories that make it impossible to put down.

"Jump is amazing right now, with one interesting manga after another. It's like it's in a burst of releases, which is why everyone's so excited, but..."

Kazuya Takasugi stepped into the supermarket, exclaiming, "The most important thing is still 'Slam Dunk'!"

Most people's focus is on "Slam Dunk"!

……

The Kanagawa High School Basketball League has entered the finals.

Hainan easily eliminated Wuli, and it was Ryonan's turn to play against Shohoku.

Therefore, countless people are eagerly anticipating this episode.

"This feeling of excitement is like going back to when I watched the friendly match between Shohoku and Ryonan."

I couldn't wait, my heart was pounding with excitement.

"Total 230 yen."

Looking at Weekly Shonen Jump, the sales clerk gave a knowing look and said to Kazuya Takasugi.

After paying and leaving the supermarket, Kazuya Takasugi sat down on a bench in a nearby park.

His hands trembled slightly as he opened Jump.

After Coach Anzai fell ill, the Shohoku players unexpectedly showed fighting spirit.

Mitsui deeply loves Anzai and is determined to bring the trophy to Coach Anzai.

Sakuragi Hanamichi thinks the same way, and he is training hard now, hoping to make a name for himself.

When the official match arrived, Ryonan's coach, Shigeichi Taoka, had mixed feelings.

Mitsui Hisashi, a third-year player from Shohoku High School, is a shooting guard known as the "Flame Man" for his exceptional three-point shooting.

Second-year player Ryota Miyagi, although not tall, is extremely agile, has excellent ball control skills and is incredibly fast, and has amazing jumping ability. He is the initiator of Shohoku's offense.

Rukawa Kaede, a first-year student, was even more remarkable, possessing comprehensive and dazzling skills. He performed exceptionally well in matches against Shohoku and Hainan, and when Shohoku faced adversity, it was always he who scored and inspired the entire stadium.

These three players are Coach Taoka's dream team, the team he has always wanted.

But now they are all in Shohoku, and have become each other's rivals.

However, Ryonan is not bad either.

Sendoh, a second-year student, held his own against Maki Shinichi; Captain Uozumi Jun, standing at 202 centimeters tall and with a massive build, was Akagi Takenori's main rival; and then there was Fukuda, whose offensive ability rivaled Sendoh's, making him the team's top scorer.

These two teams are evenly matched. They were just one step behind Hainan when they faced them. Now, they are evenly matched, and an exciting match is about to begin!

……

With the rainy season over, Higashino Hibiki can finally put away his noisy dehumidifier.

“This is Oda-san’s keepsake,” Hibiki Higashino remarked. “It’s proof that he once stayed at Toriakino Studio.”
