Full-time comic artist

Unbelievable, like a dream, all sorts of unbelievable thoughts flooded his mind.

"Murata-kun, is this realistic?" Yamamura asked Murata, who was watching from the sidelines.

Yusuke Murata wanted to laugh. He never expected that the aloof and cold Mr. Yamamura would have such a vulnerable side.

Even though Xiaozheng's ranking had already surpassed "Death Note," he still had an expression of disbelief.

"No cartoonist dares to say that all their cartoons are consistently above average."

"Many teachers, after achieving great success, will experience situations where their works are canceled or cannot be serialized."

"The same goes for Akino Toriyama, the artist behind 'Hikaru no Go' and 'Slam Dunk.' He's already achieved enough, and with that success comes pressure. Pressure can lead to mistakes, which is perfectly normal, Mr. Yamamura!"

"Please trust my judgment!"

The mountain village teacher's tense expression relaxed.

"That's right, you're right..."

"Admit it, you're stronger now!" Yusuke Murata said firmly, leaving no room for argument.

He wanted to instill confidence in the mountain village resident, and break down the bird-fearing syndrome of this outwardly strong but inwardly weak teacher.

"That's right, I'm stronger now."

The mountain village was filled with emotion.

He looked at Jump, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

"Starting in 1994, I finally surpassed Tori Akino..."

"Bird Island editor, I have fulfilled your trust."

"call."

As Shancun closed his eyes, the arduous struggles of so many years came to mind, and Torishima Kazuhiko's final words of encouragement remained unforgettable.

Today, he has fulfilled his long-cherished wish.

"From now on, my goals will change." Yamamura Morimichi's gaze sharpened as he stared directly at Murata Yusuke. "Murata-kun, let's surpass Oda Eiichiro together and become the strongest manga artist in Japan!"

"That's more like it!" Yusuke Murata laughed, his voice ringing out, "Of course!"

From now on, the pressure from Tori Akino Mirai will be swept away; only first place will be ahead of them.

……

"Take a look at the latest issue of Jump."

After the excitement subsided, Yamamura sat at his workstation, having spent the last two days diligently writing storyboards; he hadn't even had time to read Jump.

"This is……"

With a "thud," Weekly Shonen Jump slipped from Mamoru Yamamura's fingers.

"What's wrong, Mr. Yamamura?" Yusuke Murata asked, puzzled.

Yamamura Morimichi's throat was dry. He asked, "Murata-kun, haven't you been watching Jump?"

"Because I'm busy with my persona, I don't have time. What's wrong?"

“What you said is wrong… Toriya Akino didn’t do anything reckless… He’s still the same terrifying Toriya Akino… the invincible Toriya Akino.”

Murata became curious: what exactly was the content of this issue of Death Note?

"I knew it. I can't let my opponent make a mistake." Yamamura Morimichi adjusted his mindset.

In this episode of Death Note, Masashi Kosei is ranked number one.

Chapter 296 Fortune and Misfortune are Intertwined

Minister Torishima looked at the data from Weekly Shonen Jump with slight surprise.

"Yamamura-kun's 'Blind Soccer' is doing very well, ranking third, which is really rare."

He marveled at it, as if he had witnessed a miracle.

"For a while before, it was all about Death Note."

Sasaki nodded. "Yes, that's right."

"Over the years, Yamamura Morimichi has finally achieved his wish. With enough time, anything can happen," Torishima Kazuhiko chuckled. "But this time it's still not as good as Death Note."

Sasaki chimed in, "The plot twist in Death Note this time is quite interesting."

"Yeah, that's true. By the way," Torishima Kazuhiko looked up, "how are the Death Note volumes selling?"

"The first volume sold 245 million copies, and the second volume currently has 85 copies sold." Sasaki knew these figures by heart and calmly reported to his supervisor.

"That's really good." Kazuhiko Torishima nodded thoughtfully. "It's already achieved the same level of success as Slam Dunk."

“We can’t let Tori Akino get away with this again…” he asked Sasaki hesitantly.

“You know him.” Sasaki smiled wryly.

“Yeah.” Torishima Kazuhiko pursed his lips. “If he extended the serialization period, he wouldn’t be Torishino Mirai.”

"He's really... a stinking rock in a cesspool!"

……

"Recently, I've been experiencing heart disease, high blood pressure, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, insomnia, and hair loss..."

"Oh no, it's that serious! What happened?"

"It's all because Tori Akino Mirai hasn't updated."

"Pfft, hahaha!"

During the lunch break, the newly joined assistant, Xiaohe, looked at his phone and burst into laughter.

He's in his thirties, but he really enjoys surfing the internet.

"And this one too, Mr. Toriaki, look, it's hilarious!" Koga handed her phone to Higashino Hibiki, the screen displaying—

"If I don't find out who the second Kira is, I'll die of curiosity!"

Higashino Hibiki remained expressionless. He turned his neck and looked at Koga. "Mr. Koga, you are indeed very interesting."

"right!"

Higashino sighed silently to himself.

Mr. Xiaohe, who appears to be very composed, is actually a "smartphone addict".

It's still from 2002.

What's fun about using a mobile phone these days?

Omori was reading the One Piece manga, trying to understand what made it appealing to readers, when Koga disturbed him, which annoyed him.

"Xiaohe, instead of wasting time on your phone, you should use it to enrich yourself."

This is incredible! The uncle who used to be full of complaints is now incredibly diligent.

The sweet girl Yoshida found was right up Omori's alley.

Higashino Hibiki mentally complained loudly.

The world is changing too fast; he's having trouble keeping up.

"Is that so?" Xiaohe didn't care about Dasen's pointing and whispering. He sighed, "But for a middle-aged man like me, the only thing that can relax me in life is playing on my phone in my spare time."

You should work hard to earn enough to support your family. At home, you should set a good example for your children.

He has already done his best for these things and has no energy left to improve himself.

"Oh...I see..." the unmarried middle-aged man, Omori, stammered.

He realized how difficult it was for men, and couldn't help but look at Higashino Hibiki again.

"What's wrong?" Higashino Hibiki looked up, confused.

"fine."

Omori wanted to slap himself; the billionaire Tori Akino would certainly not have this problem in the future.

"I will work hard so that our family can live a carefree life like Ms. Toriakino in the future!"

……

"Achoo!" Koji Yoshida sneezed.

"What's wrong?" Da Xi asked him.

"It's probably a pollen allergy," Yoshida replied.

He was typing his work schedule for the week into a computer website.

As the content became richer, the pop-up website created by Jump editors Yoshida and Onishi gained a significant number of views.

Readers want to know about the editors' daily lives and what comes to mind regarding the comics they are in charge of.

"Today I'm going to pick up the original manuscript of 'Death Note' from Ms. Akino Mirai."

Onishi also wrote: "Today I received a short comic strip submitted by an older man. The dialogue was very interesting and funny, with a slightly risqué flavor. I'm planning to check it out."

After graduation, a young man who doesn't plan to work but wants to become a cartoonist and be admired by everyone scratches his head when he sees this sentence, "I also submitted a work, but judging from the description, it shouldn't be me. I'm so envious."

It was almost time to leave work, and Daishi logged off his computer, noticing Yoshida getting up and walking towards the door.

"Are we going to see Teacher Torino Mirai again?"

"Yes, we can't overlook that."

Yoshida left in a hurry.

Da Xi watched his retreating figure and thought, "He's so motivated, I'm really envious."

……

"Thank you everyone, today's work is done."

Higashino Hibiki checked the manuscript once and found that there was a plot that would annoy Light Yagami, but there were no problems. He then spoke to his waiting assistants.

"Thank you for taking care of us all this time, teacher," everyone said in response.
