Full-time comic artist

They're almost home.

Akemi Akemi hesitated for a long time before finally asking, "Why did you reveal 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' during the interview?"

"Readers will find out eventually, so there's nothing wrong with it being a little earlier."

"But judging from everyone's reaction, they are very disappointed."

A shonen manga artist says he wants to draw magical girls, and his previous audience will never be satisfied.

"I'll feel disappointed later too." Higashino glanced indifferently at the left rearview mirror, then turned left and entered the villa.

Seeing his calm reaction, Akemi Akemi relaxed as well.

The fact that Tori Akino Mirai wasn't disappointed by the readers' disappointment shows that he has his own ideas.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica doesn't have a name as simple as it seems.

Higashino Hibiki was confident, so she didn't worry.

……

When the Miyano couple returned home, they saw their child looking completely lost and distraught.

"What's wrong? Ken, what happened?" Mrs. Miyano saw his appearance, went over and hugged him, asking gently.

“It’s nothing,” Ken Miyano shook his head.

"Just tell me."

"Okay, it's an author I like, but his new work isn't... my kind of subject matter."

Akino-sensei drawing magical girls? You must be kidding.

"Oh, is that so? Well, you haven't seen it yet, have you? When you see it, you might have some unexpected thoughts," Mrs. Miyano comforted him.

Chapter 329 Reaction and Higashino Hibiki, is it Tori Akino?

Is Akino-sensei's new work about magical girls?

Xiaohe, who happened to have some free time, stared at the interview footage on TV and was stunned. "This is really unexpected."

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Mrs. River asked in surprise. "Isn't this great? Magical girls transform and eliminate evil; it's a work that gives girls beautiful fantasies."

Before she came of age, her favorite show was Sailor Moon. She even wrote a letter to Naoko Takeuchi and had a collection of Sailor Moon character greeting cards at home.

"Back in high school, every year when we gave each other New Year's greeting cards, they were printed with Sailor Moon and the like. It was a popular trend. It seems like it's still the same now."

Even after ten years, the brilliance of Sailor Moon has not faded, shining in the hearts of girls and giving them a childhood filled with beautiful dreams.

"Wouldn't it be perfect if Mr. Tori Akino were to create a work like this?"

She had seen the painting "Red Pepper" that her husband had helped Bird Akino paint, but she didn't really understand it. She only knew that the work was outstanding, and didn't have any other thoughts on it.

If it had been a magical girl drawing, she might have been able to offer some suggestions.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xiaohe covered her mouth and chuckled.

“It’s different,” Xiaohe shook his head. “It’s different from the positioning of Teacher Tori Akino. Perhaps… his new work has a different depth… after all, he is that teacher… um.”

The success of Paprika puzzled him; perhaps Puella Magi Madoka Magica had reached an even higher level.

Xiaohe rested his chin on his hand and began to ponder deeply.

His wife saw this and didn't say anything, but got up to play with the Tuxedo Mask figure.

Not long after, she heard a sound coming from the living room.

"Yes, I have some time recently. Um, it's arranged... Thank you for your help, Editor Yoshida."

She stepped out of the room and asked, "Does this mean I'll have work again?"

"Tori Akino-sensei needs an assistant. Editor Yoshida contacted me. I'll be going out for a bit."

He went to the entrance and put on his shoes.

"You've worked hard, darling."

"I'm leaving the family to you."

……

Kobayashi, wearing sunglasses, sat on a street in Shinjuku.

He looked up, utterly surprised.

"Tori Akino-sensei also likes magical girl manga, just like me."

He's been riding high lately, with his manga "School Rumble," which has been serialized for over a year, achieving excellent results. The anime adaptation is also in production and will premiere this October.

He has now become a teacher in the eyes of others, fulfilling his long-held dream.

"Although I'm not as brave as Mr. Toriakino, I think I'll draw magical girls sometime, in 'School Rumble'. That should be really fun, hehehe."

……

"Ah! A magical girl!"

Many colleagues who were following Higashino Hibiki's movements were stunned, staring at the television in disbelief.

Yoshihiro Togashi found it hard to accept. He pointed at Naoko Takeuchi and said, "Could it be...could it be that that guy, Akino Tori...actually had feelings for you?!"

“How could that be?” Naoko Takeuchi slapped him in dissatisfaction, but she also muttered to herself.

She recalled her several encounters with Tori Akino Mirai, and didn't sense anything unusual.

This must have been a coincidence.

“That’s true,” Togashi nodded, “You’re old and faded, and only I will love you!”

"Huh?" Naoko Takeuchi was furious, glaring at him fiercely. "What did you say?"

“I said I love you,” Togashi repeated.

"Okay... fine..." Naoko Takeuchi gave up.

……

"Tori Akino's gone mad." Yamamura Morimichi saw this while eating breakfast, and even dropped his chopsticks on the ground.

"Coming to shonen manga with shojo manga? And in a field he's never even been into. I really don't know what he was thinking."

He picked up his chopsticks, wiped them with a tissue, and started eating his fried egg again.

……

"Magical girl... um, magical girl! What! Magical girl!"

At Akira Toriyama's hometown, Akira Toriyama stared wide-eyed, his wrinkled eyes almost smoothing out.

"What was that kid Higashino thinking... finishing his mystery manga and then going on to draw magical girls..."

"Doesn't he know how to be consistent?"

"Chess and card comics, sports comics, mystery comics, and they also have a few things in common."

"I really don't understand magical girls these days."

"He's a young man after all, always up to no good."

"Haha."

Akira Toriyama suddenly laughed.

"Yes, that's the future of Tori Akino, pursuing more possibilities."

His cell phone rang, and when Akira Toriyama answered it, it was Kazuhiko Torishima.

"Did Sasaki tell you? Higashino wants to retire. That should be true. After drawing for so many years, he should enjoy himself."

After hanging up the phone with Torishima Kazuhiko, Toriyama Akira understood.

It turns out that this disciple is still following in his own footsteps, and has begun to find the joy of creating for himself behind the commercial comics.

"How willful you are, Akino Toriyama." Akira Toriyama shook his head repeatedly.

……

"Mr. Omori, you were Mr. Tori Akino's assistant before, right?"

"Hmm, not bad."

Omori looked up and glanced at the television.

"Is Professor Tori Akino always so unpredictable?" the assistant asked.

“Yeah,” Omori replied, “Slam Dunk and Death Note ended abruptly, giving people no time to react. It was too self-centered.”

He was drawing a comic book as he spoke.

He became very happy after the series began.

This success, the culmination of more than a decade of relentless pursuit, has captivated him.

When Omori saw "Despair Diary" appear in Jump, he burst into tears.

That state of being beyond happiness made him feel that even if he died, it would be worth it.

"No, I can't die yet, I have to keep drawing comics..." Omori muttered to himself as he continued creating.

"Teacher, don't you care?" the assistant asked, pointing at the television.

“I don’t have time,” Omori said. “Besides… Mr. Toriakino doesn’t need these.”

He didn't have time to care about Tori Akino; he had to hurry up and draw the "Diary of Despair" in its best possible form.

Lately, he hasn't had time to contact Xiaotian at night.

……

Koji Yoshida glanced at his phone. The last time they chatted was two days ago. He thought to himself: "Omori's favorite thing must be manga."

This comforted him somewhat.

"Mr. Kogawa, thank you for your help again this time," Higashino Hibiki said to his assistant.

"I really need to thank the teacher for giving me this opportunity," Xiaohe replied with a smile.
