Full-time comic artist

There are even more things like correction fluid, ink, craft knives, and so on.

Next to the workbench was a long table with the finished original drawings on it, used to dry the ink.

"That's amazing!"

Ken Miyano opened his mouth wide, thoroughly enjoying the sight.

Serialization begins at Chapter 330

The scene at Tori Akino Mirai Studio was even more interesting than Ken Miyano had imagined.

He saw many new and interesting things, and it was by using these tools that cartoonists were able to create comics that captivated readers.

The scene I imagined of Tori Akino-sensei drawing manga alone in the middle of the night while coughing was actually wrong; a work is completed with the help of many people.

"Ken, welcome to my home," Akemi Akemi waved and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Aunt Higashino." Ken Miyano bowed politely.

“Auntie and all that… I’m that age too.” Akemi Akemi sighed.

"I'm Koga, the assistant to Teacher Toriakino," Koga introduced herself.

"Hello Mr. Kogawa, it's really kind of you that we can see the comics." Miyano Ken bowed again.

"This child is so sensible," Xiaohe nodded.

Higashino Hibiki listened to the sounds coming from the studio and smiled.

He took a bottle of Ramune soda from the kitchen and then went into the studio.

"Here, have some," Higashino Hibiki handed it to Miyano Ken, pointing to his throat. "Your scream was so loud just now, your throat must hurt a lot, right?"

Kenjiro Miyano was overjoyed. He held the bottle as if he were dreaming.

"Thank you, Mr. Toriakino."

"No need to thank me," Higashino Hibiki waved his hand. "I don't know how many times you've said thank you since you walked in."

“One sound, two sounds, three sounds…” Ken Miyano put down his soda and started counting on his fingers.

"I didn't ask you to count this..." Higashino Hibiki found it both funny and absurd.

"Huh?" Ken Miyano stared at him blankly. "What's that?"

“Ken,” Higashino asked, “is there anything you want to do or say? Don’t be so reserved.”

"I..." Ken Miyano took a deep breath, "Teacher, are you really going to draw a magical girl manga?"

Xiaohe glanced sideways and looked at Dongye Xiang with concern.

……

Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a 2011 work. Since its broadcast, it has been hailed by many as the most successful and highest-quality original anime in the past 20 years.

In fact, Madoka Magica has won the most animation awards in Japan.

In particular, winning all three major awards—the Tokyo Anime Award, the Japan Media Arts Festival Grand Prize, and the Kobe Animation Award—is unique and unparalleled.

In terms of revenue, Madoka Magica generated 400 billion yen in revenue 30 months after its broadcast, forming the Madoka Magica economic circle.

The last economic zone that Higashino Hibiki was familiar with was the Panda Economic Zone.

This demonstrates the status of Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

This is a critically acclaimed and commercially successful animated film that combines artistry and entertainment. The only film in the Japanese film industry that can rival it is Spirited Away.

Therefore, this manga is so wonderful that it is no less than Death Note, and may even be better.

However, most readers instinctively reject the idea of ​​magical girls.

The once excited admirer now wore an embarrassed expression, which worried Koga; she feared that Teacher Toriakino's heart would be hurt.

Higashino Hibiki was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Of course, please look forward to my work."

"Teacher..." Ken Miyano hesitated for a long time, "Can we not draw this?"

As soon as he said those words, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then immediately tensed up, shrinking his head back, afraid to see Higashino Hibiki's sad and disappointed expression.

"Eh~ Of course not, don't interfere with my decision." Higashino Hibiki replied nonchalantly.

Xiaohe felt relieved.

"I'm sorry!" Ken Miyano immediately apologized.

"It's okay, but you have to trust me."

“I…” Ken Miyano made up his mind and nodded. “I understand!”

……

Afterwards, Ken Miyano happily returned home with the autographed item and the figurine toys given to him by Hibiki Higashino.

When school started in April, he arrived at school wearing his school uniform.

"Jian, you're dressed so warmly today. It's springtime and you're still so afraid of the cold. How lame of you."

His classmate patted him on the shoulder and said with a hint of disdain.

"You wouldn't know this, hmph," Ken Miyano looked around to make sure no one was there, then lifted his shirt. "Look!"

Underneath his school uniform, he was wearing a vest, which was from Mizuno.

That's not the main point. The most important thing is that this is a basketball jersey with the number 10 embroidered on the front and a chibi-style portrait of Sakuragi Hanamichi on the chest.

"Oh! It's Slam Dunk merchandise," the classmate exclaimed, eyes wide. "It's a Sakuragi Hanamichi jersey with a number that only 55 out of a thousand were made. That's incredibly rare!"

"This Slam Dunk x Mizuno collaboration shirt sold out as soon as it went on sale, Jian, where did you buy it?!"

"This was a gift from someone, haha." Ken Miyano put his hands on his back and laughed heartily.

Mizuno gave Hibiki Higashino some merchandise in different sizes, taking into account that Hibiki might want to give it to friends and family.

There were no children wearing that number of clothes around Higashino Hibiki, so the remaining ones ended up being given to Miyano Ken, which was just right.

"Isn't that amazing!" The classmate reached out and stroked Miyano Ken's chest, her eyes sparkling as if she were caressing some precious treasure. "I want it so badly!"

"Only I have it!" Ken Miyano tilted his head back, his vanity satisfied.

He wanted Death Note merchandise, but Hibiki Higashino refused.

It's not good for children to wear clothes with the image of Death on them.

Ken Miyano was somewhat disappointed back then, but now, surrounded by his friends' envious gazes, he is filled with joy.

"Ha ha ha ha."

……

Tori Akino Mirai is his neighbor, which is the most exciting thing for Miyano Ken since he was old enough to understand.

The Miyano couple noticed that their son was always running to the neighbor's house.

"It's because of Paprika, isn't it?" Mr. Miyano said.

He once showed Ken Miyano "Paprika" because he wanted this work of art to cultivate his child's character.

Now it seems that my son studied hard, which is why he admires Akino Mirai so much.

“Well, it’s not good to keep bothering others,” Mrs. Miyano said. “I’ll go over there.”

She arrived at Higashino Hibiki's house, brought some small gifts, chatted for a bit, and then dragged Miyano Ken home.

In the following days, Toriakino Mirai Studio was no longer harassed by Miyano Ken.

Higashino and the others relaxed.

It's really annoying when an overzealous fan is constantly interfering with your creative process.

Time quickly came to April 9th, and Koji Yoshida came to pick up the original manuscript of the first chapter of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" and a color illustration for the cover.

"Editor Yoshida," Koga nodded in greeting.

"Hello, Mr. Kogawa." Yoshida waved his hand.

He's been riding high lately, and of the works he's been responsible for in the "Golden Future Cup," "D.Gray-man" and "Despair Diary" have achieved the best results.

The highly anticipated "Katekyo Hitman Reborn!" and "Gintama" have performed only moderately well, and could be canceled if things go wrong.

His colleagues usually envy him for being able to take charge of the bird Qiuye, saying that even a different dog could achieve the same results.

They are all speechless now.

Soichi Aida and Kohei Onishi are both defeated opponents; only I, Koji Yoshida, am invincible in the world.

But when he arrived at Bird Autumn Studio today, his excitement turned into disappointment.

It won't be long before Tori Akino retires from writing.

In his final moments, he was still very reluctant to part with it.

Whether she cried secretly at night is unknown to outsiders.

"Please let me see the original manuscript."

Yoshida began to examine the document, and when he turned to the first page, he froze.

"That's a really good drawing!"

The black and white world exudes a mysterious aura.

In this absurd world, against a pitch-black backdrop, a massive gravitational source in the sky is a blurry, indistinct monster-like object, with two magic circles flickering behind it.

Buildings, tree debris, and cars floating in the sky—this bizarre scene, which shouldn't happen, made Yoshida feel depressed and panicked.

This painting is like a work of art.

Omori's drawing skills are also quite good, but compared to Tori Akino, he is far inferior.

Composition is also a factor here.

Designing artwork with artistry is a true test of a cartoonist's skill.

Tori Akino is top-notch in this regard.

The anime series "The Garden of Words" and "5 Centimeters Per Second" both explored this aspect.
