Full-time comic artist

In the following four games, Odagiri won three and lost only one.

This is the last game.

Zhao Zhixun is under a lot of pressure; he is more likely to lose this round.

However, at this moment, he noticed that his opponent's eyes were piercing and burning with fire.

Every time Odagiri places a stone, it makes a "bang" sound; his opponent is now in high spirits and is placing stones very quickly.

"I don't know why, but his mindset has changed. Maybe I'll win," Zhao Zhixun thought, holding the chess piece.

……

Higashino Hibiki turned on the TV. Four hours had passed, and the game had entered the middle stage.

"Huh? Zhao Zhixun, 9th Dan, is at a disadvantage?" Higashino Hibiki was surprised.

"Has Odagiri become this good now?"

Last year, he was still struggling against his opponents.

Now I'm handling it with ease.

What an amazing young man.

"The teacher is watching a Go match."

Omori glanced at the TV, somewhat surprised. "I know he drew 'Hikaru no Go,' but does the teacher also play Go?"

Akemi Akemi looked up, smoothed her hair, and said proudly, "Higashino used to beat professional Go players."

Unfortunately, he gave up the path of Go because of comics.

Otherwise, he might be appearing on television now.

Akemi Akemi thought about it and a sense of regret arose in her heart.

"That's amazing!" Omori said. "I've also watched 'Hikaru no Go.' Professional Go players all go through a lot of hard work and honing their skills. My teacher is really amazing."

“Yes!” Akemi Akemi nodded emphatically. “He’s very capable.”

"However, Akino Mirai, who decided to become a manga artist, is even more amazing."

She said it with certainty.

"Between Go and comics, Higashino chose to pursue comics."

"He prefers drawing comics."

Chapter 233 I'm leaving my position as editor-in-chief

Higashino watched the game nervously; the situation was becoming increasingly unpredictable, and even with his abilities, he could no longer determine which player had the upper hand.

At this point, even the slightest mistake can lead to defeat.

Both players wore solemn expressions, but Odagiri's moves remained fluid, while Cho Ji-hoon 9-dan's face was clouded with worry.

This battle of wits had been going on for more than four hours, and his physical strength was gradually failing him, so he forced himself to stay alert.

Fortunately, there were no mistakes.

Finally, as the game drew to a close, Odagiri's fingers trembled as he picked up a Go stone and placed it on the board.

Then begin counting.

Higashino observed that the game was evenly matched and anxiously awaited the final result.

However, both sides already knew the outcome of the match.

Odagiri bowed his head. "Thank you for your guidance."

“Yes,” Zhao Zhixun lowered his head, his feelings complicated, “I lost…”

He played the entire game meticulously, without making any mistakes, but still lost to the younger generation.

Cho Ji-hoon's ten-year reign as Honinbo champion came to an end today, but he is now burning with renewed fighting spirit and determined to win it back next year.

Hibiki Higashino couldn't help but clap his hands in celebration for Odagiri.

He started playing Go at the age of 13, and finally, at the age of 19, he reached the pinnacle of Japanese Go.

"That's really amazing."

Hibiki Higashino watched TV. After Odagiri won, he stared intently at the camera, seemingly lost in thought.

"Congratulations on becoming the 'Odagiri Honinbo'!"

After Hibiki Higashino sent a congratulatory text message, Odagiri immediately put down his phone.

After finishing the other work, Higashino Hibiki went to check the original manuscript again.

……

With less than a month to go before Hibiki Higashino and Akemi Akemi's wedding, they went to Mr. Akemi's house to discuss post-wedding arrangements.

This time, perhaps because the marriage was irreversible, Mr. Akimiya's attitude towards Hibiki Higashino improved a lot.

At least he prepared tea in advance and took the initiative to care about Higashino Hibiki.

Hibiki Higashino believes that Mr. Akimiya is actively adapting to his and Akimiya Akemi's lives and has become more friendly in doing so.

He was touched: "Thank you, Father."

Mr. Akimiya said impatiently, "Don't call me father!"

Hibiki Higashino promptly switched to a more intimate form of address: "Yes, Dad!"

Mr. Akimiya: "?"

……

During the discussion, Mr. Akimiya learned that Higashino Hibiki didn't have time to commemorate the wedding. He frowned and then questioned, "Are you going to draw a manga? Such an important thing as a wedding, can't you take a break for a while?"

Higashino lowered his head. "I'm really sorry."

Akemi Akemi quickly defended Hibiki Higashino, explaining, "This is my request. We just need to be happy after the wedding. There's no need for a big celebration or commemoration."

Mr. Akimiya shook his head helplessly. "You."

Having passed the test with his father-in-law, Higashino breathed a sigh of relief.

Even so, Mr. Akimiya would still glare at Higashino from time to time.

Two hours later, the conversation finally ended, leaving Higashino feeling extremely uncomfortable.

When it was time to leave, Mr. Akimiya came out to see him off.

“Dad, you should go home,” Akemi Akemi said with concern, sitting in the passenger seat.

“Hmm,” Mr. Akimiya nodded, but did not leave.

He hesitated, becoming awkward.

Under the curious gazes of Akemi Akimiya and Hibiki Higashino, she finally said after a long while, "Millennium Actress is a good work."

After saying that, he immediately turned and left.

Hibiki Higashino and Akemi Akemi looked at each other, then burst out laughing.

……

Two more weeks passed, and with the wedding date drawing ever closer, Higashino Hibiki grew increasingly anxious.

So he went for a morning run, and listening to the students chattering on their way to school made him feel much more at ease.

A few girls were discussing "Slam Dunk".

"Sakuragi Hanamichi is so cool!"

"Rukawa Kaede is clearly more handsome!"

"I like the way of the immortals."

"Fujima is the coolest!"

Slam Dunk is not only the most professional sports manga, but it also features many handsome men.

Apart from Akagi, all the other guys in Shohoku are handsome men with their own unique characteristics.

This has led to Slam Dunk also having a large female readership.

"Sakuragi Hanamichi is so cool and cute, but why has he failed to confess his love 50 times?" a girl wondered.

"After all, Sakuragi is a delinquent, and in the recent 'Slam Dunk' anime, the basketball player Sakuragi Hanamichi is very popular!"

"That's right, that's right!"

The match between Shohoku and Sannoh has begun.

Facing the formidable opponent Sannoh, everyone at Shohoku was under immense pressure. Coach Anzai reassured them one by one.

Therefore, when facing Sannoh, the Shohoku basketball team showed no fear, their eyes gleaming with hope, and they approached the game with the best mental state.

Their opponent is Sannoh. Coach Anzai understands that simply defending will not be effective; they must keep attacking, seize the initiative, and thus turn the tide.

At the start of the game, Miyagi made a long pass, and Sakuragi Hanamichi completed an alley-oop dunk, scoring the first point!

This was the first time Sakuragi Hanamichi had mastered the alleyway technique, and his powerful jumping ability drew cheers from the crowd.

In the match against Sannoh, he shed his usual nonchalance and unleashed 120% of his strength.

At the national tournament, Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was considered a novice player, finally shone brightly.

His excellence is evident to everyone.

Higashino sighed, overtook the group of girls, and ran ahead.

……

"The match between Shohoku and Sannoh was so exciting!"

"That's right. In previous games, Shohoku would always falter at the start, falling behind by a large margin before finally taking the lead. But in this most important game, every one of the five Shohoku players performed very well."

"The pressure from Sannoh was too great."

"Perhaps in Mr. Toriakino's mind, Shohoku cannot afford to make mistakes. If they do, they will absolutely not be able to defeat Sannoh!"
