"It hurts so much, my whole body hurts so much, am I going to die?"

"It doesn't matter anymore, I've already done a good job."

This weak man withstood Rokudo Mukuro's onslaught for a long time, which was beyond his expectations.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I can't take it anymore, I've had enough."

"I've had enough of this pain, I've had enough of this fear."

In his dazed state, Tsuna suddenly heard many things.

Family, friends, admirers, people he loves... their complaints, their love.

They still long for their safe return.

If their bodies were controlled by Rokudo Mukuro, they would be extremely sad and face danger.

The emotion of protecting his comrades and family members made Sawada Tsunayoshi open his eyes!

……

"Wow, how exciting!"

"I really want to see the next chapter!"

"Tsuna has grown. That last look in his eyes got my blood pumping and set my blood on fire!"

A protagonist who seemed weak to readers, with no distinguishing features other than gentleness, finally matured from a spoiled brat.

The emotion of "Ah, I watched him grow up" evokes a sense of wonder that captivates readers.

After more than a month of build-up and constant tension, the plot is finally about to unfold.

In the midst of a snowy winter, reading the latest chapter of "Katekyo Hitman Reborn!" brought readers a sense of warmth like the sun.

"Tori Akino-sensei is also very good at drawing shonen manga."

"He should just keep drawing."

"Amano-sensei's drawings are not bad either, but they are still far from those of Tori Akino-sensei."

……

In January, Higashino Hibiki was taking a walk on the street when he was suddenly stopped by someone.

"You must be Mr. Tori Akino!"

By the time he turned 29, Higashino Hibiki's appearance was finalized, and readers could recognize him more and more.

"Ah, hello."

Higashino Hibiki looked at the excited young female reader in front of her and nodded. "It's me, I'm Tori Akino Mirai."

"Wow!" the girl screamed. "It really is a teacher! I'm not mistaken."

"Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you." Her cheeks were flushed. "I'm just too excited."

"fine."

Before the girl could even ask for an autograph, Higashino Hibiki had already taken off his gloves, taken out a pen, and just in time accepted the single volume the girl handed him.

"I didn't draw this."

This single volume contains the daily life episodes of "Katekyo Hitman Reborn!".

It was just released recently.

"It's okay, Teacher will continue to draw 'Katekyo Hitman Reborn!' in the future!"

The girl blinked, her eyes filled with hope.

Chapter 363 Seeking Advice from a Senior

"Do you really like 'Katekyo Hitman Reborn!'?" Hibiki Higashino asked her.

“Hmm,” the girl’s eyes sparkled, “but I love the parts of ‘Katekyo Hitman Reborn!’ with the addition of a teacher, where everyone fights together with all their might against powerful enemies. That’s why I really, really wish that the teacher could keep drawing like this.”

"I see." Higashino felt a chill on his forehead. He looked up and said, "It's snowing."

Snowflakes fall to the ground and quickly melt and disappear.

The girl paid no attention to the snowflakes falling into her hair, focusing intently on Higashino Hibiki.

She wanted to convey her thoughts and let Higashino Hibiki understand that she was serious.

but……

"Excuse me."

Hibiki Higashino said, "I cannot agree to that."

"Amano-sensei's paintings are also wonderful, and I have my own ideas for what to paint."

The girl watched as Higashino Hibiki, who had just said those words, disappeared from her sight.

……

Shueisha's New Year's party.

"Tori Akino-kun, why do you collaborate with others on manga? That piece, a little..."

Yoshihiro Togashi, facing Hibiki Higashino, was about to complain a bit. He really disliked mainstream manga like "Katekyo Hitman Reborn!" because it was content he himself was tired of drawing.

He wanted Higashino Hibiki to draw some... even more incredible manga.

But Amano Akira was staring at him, making him afraid to continue.

“I find it very interesting,” Oda interjected.

"Katekyo Hitman Reborn!" was right up his alley.

With compelling character designs and engaging battles, it's hard to imagine the show failing.

“Each character has their own abilities, and Rokudo Mukuro’s eyes are also very interesting.”

"If the teacher keeps drawing, I'm worried that One Piece's status will be in jeopardy."

He tilted his head back and chuckled, showing no sign of worry.

Hibiki Higashino turned to look at him and asked, "Is the 'Long Ring Island Arc' of One Piece almost finished?"

“Yes,” Oda nodded, giving a thumbs up, “The following content is something I really want to draw.”

This is also known as the "Water Seven Arc".

Usopp leaving the crew, Robin betraying them, and Merry saying goodbye—this is one of the most tear-jerking chapters in One Piece, and a masterpiece in the hearts of fans.

Its status is similar to that of the "Chunin Exams" arc in "Naruto".

pity……

"You'd better draw well, Naruto is doing very well right now."

The "Sasuke Pursuit Battle" is similar to the Chunin Exams, where ninja abilities are on full display, and all sorts of ninjutsu appear one after another.

Readers thoroughly enjoyed the read.

Oda didn't care at all, "It's okay, let him come at me."

……

Weekly Shonen Jump has a weekly circulation of 108 million copies, which, while not as high as Shonen Jump's 300 million, is still a top achievement among Japanese manga magazines.

All I can say is that Weekly Shonen Jump is too twisted.

Currently, Tetsuya Saruwatari's manga series "High School Tekken Den" is being serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump." This manga may not be very well-known, but his representative work is "Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky," which is the original work of the banned film starring Louis Fan.

There's also Hiroya Oku's "Gantz," which some consider to be the progenitor of the infinite flow genre in online novels.

There's Elfen Lied, and there's Masakazu Katsura's Choujin.

There is "Type B H System" and Hiroshi Motomiya's "The Burning Nation".

However, due to protests from various sectors in Japan, "Burning Nation" was suspended for revisions and will soon come to an end when it resumes serialization.

The combined influence of lawmakers, media, and professors has made it impossible for Japan, a country where even adult videos are legal, to tolerate works that tell the truth.

Hibiki Higashino saw Hiroshi Motomiya drowning his sorrows in champagne.

He drew the atrocities committed by the Japanese army, so he should have known that things would turn out this way.

This comic has been serialized since 02, and it has never backed down. Even as the opposition grew stronger, it continued to draw what it wanted to draw.

He even drew pictures related to the Nanjing Massacre.

Until it was forced to go on hiatus, the manga, which was over 20 pages per chapter, was cut down to just a few pages by Young Jump.

However, witnessing the shamelessness of the right-wing forces still made Hiroshi Motomiya feel that this country was beyond saving.

……

“Miya-sensei,” Higashino Hibiki sat down next to him and patted him on the shoulder.

“Don’t try to comfort me,” Hiroshi Motomiya said, glancing sideways at Higashino Hibiki. “I’m not at the point where a child like you can comfort me.”

"Of course not." Higashino Hibiki shook his head. "I came to you because I wanted to learn from you, senior."

"Oh, go ahead and tell me." Hiroshi Motomiya became interested. He put down his champagne and looked at Hibiki Higashino.

"It's about 'Salaryman Kintaro' drawn by Motomiya-sensei," Hibiki Higashino said. "I also want to draw a similar work, a workplace manga, the kind that gets adapted into a TV series."

"Salaryman Kintaro" is currently the best-performing manga in Seinen Jump, and only "Kingdom" and "Tokyo Ghoul" can surpass it in the future.

The story is about Kintaro Yajima, who gives up being a fisherman and starts living the life of an office worker in Tokyo.

This manga was adapted into a TV series in 1999, and by 2004, it had aired four seasons. It was a huge hit and is considered by Higashino Hibiki to be one of the most worthwhile manga to learn from in Weekly Shonen Jump.

The future "Hanzawa Naoki" will definitely follow this path.

Hiroshi Motomiya glanced at Hibiki Higashino, somewhat surprised, "Why did you suddenly change your style? You used to write shonen manga."

Hibiki Higashino explained, "It's about learning from Osamu Tezuka."

Osamu Tezuka is known as the God of Manga, not only because he pioneered the introduction of cinematic techniques into manga creation, elevating Japanese manga to new heights and changing the long-standing despised status of manga.

More importantly, it's because of his incredible creativity.
