Full-time comic artist

Police representative Soichiro Yagami finally sees the Grim Reaper, and the secrets of Kira's abilities begin to be revealed to the good guys, marking the beginning of the most anticipated part of the manga.

But here, the comic ends again.

While readers waited anxiously, Hibiki Higashino and Akemi Akemi arrived at the hospital for a prenatal checkup.

Akemi Akemi entered the ultrasound room, while Hibiki Higashino waited in the corridor.

He glanced around and noticed that all the pregnant women came alone; there weren't many men in the entire maternity ward.

"Everyone's so busy," he thought to himself.

Suddenly, something soft hugged Higashino Hibiki's leg. He looked down and saw a little girl dressed in a panda costume, who was only a little over three years old.

"dad."

The little girl called softly, "Daddy."

She looked up, her chubby baby face trembling, her big eyes blinking as she looked at Higashino Hibiki.

It seems I've mistaken someone for someone else.

Higashino Hibiki's heart was melting.

"Daddy," the little girl called out again.

Higashino looked around but didn't see her parents.

“Baby, are you lost?” he asked, squatting down.

"Daddy." She released Higashino Hibiki's legs and opened her short arms. "Hug me."

With a mixture of helplessness and contentment, Higashino picked up the little girl, a sweet milky scent filling his nostrils.

“You’re so cute,” Hibiki Higashino said softly. “I wish my child were a girl too.”

"Hehe." The child chuckled foolishly.

She was very well-behaved and didn't make a fuss. She just hugged Higashino Hibiki's neck and looked around curiously.

She was fascinated by the pink walls and corners of the hospital, and occasionally giggled.

Higashino waited for a long time with the child in his arms, but the child's parents did not come. He was about to go find a nurse.

"Aya," someone called out. It was the child's father, his voice filled with a mixture of relief and joy.

"Dad!" Higashino heard a sound in his ear, the child's voice making his ears ring.

Aya glanced at her father beside her, then looked back at Higashino Hibiki, completely bewildered.

Hibiki Higashino turned his head to look. "Is this your child?"

The other person's body shape did indeed resemble his own to some extent.

"Yes!" The other person nodded repeatedly. "Thank you for taking care of Aya."

He took out his phone, which displayed everyday photos.

Higashino Hibiki then believed him and returned the child to him.

Watching his departing figure, Higashino Hibiki felt somewhat lost.

"dad."

Higashino watched as Aya got further and further away from him, and her little hand reached out to grab him.

He then smiled and said, "Goodbye."

He waved.

……

"Who are you saying goodbye to?" Akemi Akemi asked, touching her belly.

“A cute little girl,” Hibiki Higashino asked with concern. “Are you alright?”

The doctor replied that everything was going well and the baby would be healthy, advising Higashino Hibiki to buy baby towels, diapers, and so on.

Higashino Hibiki thanked him repeatedly with great excitement.

As he drove home, he said happily, "Our child will definitely be adorable."

“Yes, that’s right.” Akemi Akemi nodded vigorously.

……

On Monday, Weekly Shonen Jump was released.

"You're reading comics?" The editor walked into the coffee shop and came to Kobayashi's side. "You're really working hard."

Kobayashi turned around and said with a smile, "This isn't hard work; I just can't bear to look away. It's less about work and more about neglecting my duties."

As soon as Jump was released, he was itching to watch it.

On his way to discuss the serialization of his work, "School Rumble," with his editor, he also bought a copy of Jump and started reading it with great interest.

For a moment, I completely forgot about "School Rumble".

"What are you looking at?" the editor asked.

“Death Note,” Kobayashi replied with a smile, raising his jumper. “It’s right at the most exciting moment, when Light Yagami is about to close the net.”

"This manga is definitely worth looking forward to." The editor sat down and said excitedly, "I also really like Death Note. It's a genius creation. I never thought that Light would give up Death Note, lose his memory, and join L's team. It's like going deep into the tiger's den. He's amazing."

“That’s right, that’s right!” As if he had found a kindred spirit, Kobayashi nodded vigorously.

"Wait a minute!" he realized, "Aren't you feeling guilty praising the rival's comic like that?"

“Yes, a little,” the editor said, shrinking back. “It’s just that Death Note is really interesting, and there’s nothing I can do about it; everyone’s watching it.”

"This is the work of the author of 'Slam Dunk'," Kobayashi said skeptically.

In 96, Magazine was about to surpass Jump to become the highest-circulation weekly manga magazine in Japan.

But then Akino Mirai intervened, and Slam Dunk became a huge hit. Jump, which was on the verge of collapse, found its savior and left Magazine far behind. From then on, Magazine never had the chance to surpass Jump again.

"My favorite manga is Slam Dunk, so I won't be affected by these things. Besides, I only joined magazine in 2000, so this was just a second choice," the editor sighed and waved his hand in response.

Kobayashi suddenly realized, "Oh, so you joined Magazine because Jump didn't want you."

The editor was taken aback, looked around, and whispered to Kobayashi, "Don't talk nonsense, this is not true."

"I don't believe it." Kobayashi, with his afro and sunglasses, had a smirk on his face.

"It's true! Wait... what am I supposed to explain?!" The editor slammed his hand on the table, his voice rising. "Let me see how your revisions of 'School Rumble' are going!"

"Please accept this." Kobayashi lowered his head and said obsequiously, "I'm counting on you for everything."

Offense and defense can easily shift.

The editor started reading "School Rumble" and remained silent for a long time.

Kobayashi waited anxiously, wondering what kind of evaluation the other party would give.

He watched "Doraemon" when he was a child, and that's how he got the idea to become a cartoonist.

He won the magazine's newcomer award in 2000, and there was a possibility of serialization in 2002. It can be said that his comic career has been smooth sailing.

Even so, he was still very uneasy at that moment.

"Pfft." The editor covered his mouth and laughed, and breathed a sigh of relief right where Kobayashi had planted the joke.

The editor still had some time after reading it, and he couldn't help but let his mind wander.

If it gets serialized, I can also be called Teacher Kobayashi.

So how exactly did Akino Tori's "Death Note" develop?

I'm so curious!

Driven by intense curiosity, he couldn't resist picking up Jump and flipping through it face-to-face with the editor.

……

Souichirou Yagami saw Rem and was horrified. The police officer next to him was equally dumbfounded when he saw the Shinigami in the Death Note.

L was completely stunned after obtaining the Death Note.

In an instant, his brain was racing.

When Misa Amane contacted Kira, she mentioned exchanging notebooks in Aoyama.

He didn't know what it meant at the time, but now he understands.

In other words, there is another notebook, and the matter is not over!

"L is really smart; he thought of the most important thing right away." Kobayashi rubbed his chin and nodded in satisfaction.

L was lost in thought when the notebook ended up in Light Yagami's hands.

"It's here! It's finally here!" Kobayashi stared wide-eyed, devouring the comic book with great anticipation.

Light Yagami's current reaction is something he's been hoping for for a long time!

When Bai Yuechun learned that he was Kira, was it unbelievable, or did he quickly accept it?

Light Yagami let out a scream as countless memories flooded into his brain.

His eyes widened and his mouth gaped open; in that instant, Light Yagami lost all control of his emotions.

But in that instant, he quickly calmed down and brushed L off, "Can you really believe that writing your name will make you die?"

Kobayashi finally understood Light Yagami's choice.

He was, after all, Kira, the ruthless killer.

Bai Yue is dead.

With unchecked power, Yue lost her way once again.

Kira is back.

Under the pretext of checking the names in her notebook, Yue turned her head away, unable to contain herself any longer, and laughed triumphantly.

He had Rem hand over the Death Note to someone of high status who craved power, and then staged a scene where he lost his memory.

After losing his memory, he will definitely investigate Neo Kira because of his hatred for evil. He will also be monitored by L. When "he" and L capture Neo Kira together, they will find the notebook and his memory will be restored!

Everything was proceeding perfectly according to Light Yagami's plan!
