Full-time comic artist

Osamu Tezuka was involved in various genres, including children's comics, shonen comics, four-panel comics, shoujo comics, seinen comics, and adult comics.

The themes of their works include science fiction, history, biography, comedy, religion, medicine, family ethics, romance, mythology, mystery, suspense, and more.

Only Osamu Tezuka could serialize more than a dozen manga series at the same time.

He can create magical girls, and he can also draw "Phoenix".

He can draw children's comics like "Astro Boy" and also profound works like "Black Jack".

Even Hibiki Higashino, this overpowered time traveler, is not as good as Osamu Tezuka.

Everyone is now following the rules and creating within their own fields, lacking the breadth of Osamu Tezuka's work.

Hibiki Higashino simply transitioned from shonen manga to seinen manga.

Hiroshi Motomiya had refuted Osamu Tezuka, but he also admired the god of manga. After hearing Hibiki Higashino's statement, he nodded in deep agreement.

"Workplace comics, I can actually teach you that."

He learned a lot from the director during the production of the TV series "Salaryman Kintaro".

The theoretical methods used in TV dramas and movies are very helpful for workplace comics.

Hiroshi Motomiya explained the work's rhythm, camera work, and character tension to Hibino Hikaru in detail.

Higashino nodded silently.

He is a new scholar in this field, and using the methods of juvenile comics to draw comics for young adults and adults will inevitably lead to some errors.

Even after the New Year's party ended, the two were still not satisfied and had a second gathering, chatting at an izakaya (Japanese pub).

The beautiful proprietress of the izakaya looked at them with great curiosity.

Such a serious conversation is truly rare.

The two men, one speaking earnestly and the other listening attentively, were quite different from the typical drunkards who swayed their heads.

"It's like something big is happening."

She carried the snacks to the two men and had just put them down when she heard the older man ask, "Higashino, how's the preparation for your new work going?"

“I’ve got it. The title is *Hanzawa Naoki*, and the protagonist is a banker,” the young man nodded. “It’s a story about rebelling against powerful superiors; his principle is ‘an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and a double payback’.”

The proprietress overheard this and, after only hearing the gist of it, became very curious about the work.

She really wanted to see it.

Hiroshi Motomiya exclaimed in admiration, "Oh! A manga that deviates from workplace principles! It's really good!"

That's just his style.

He was the originator of inappropriate comics.

"The most boring comics are the ones that follow the rules." This is a great idea.

He patted Higashino Hibiki on the back, looking somewhat drunk.

"I'm really looking forward to your 'Hanzawa Naoki'."

"Yes, it must be a wonderful work."

Higashino nodded. He glanced at the clock; it was already 2 a.m.

We can no longer disturb the middle-aged and elderly Mr. Hiroshi.

He helped Motomiya Hiroshi up, saying, "It's time to call it a day."

"I don't need your help." Hiroshi Motomiya stood up on his own and stumbled toward the door.

Hibiki Higashino, standing behind him, shook his head. "Miya-sensei is truly a tough guy."

He lifted his foot, ready to leave.

"guest."

Someone was calling him.

Higashino looked back.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. I don't know if it's a novel or a TV series..." the proprietress hesitated, then smiled. "But I really like this kind of story. It's sure to be a big hit. Keep it up!"

Higashino Hibiki paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded. "Yes, thank you."

He walked out of the izakaya and then looked back at the name of the establishment.

"Koharu Izakaya... Is the proprietress named Koharu? Maybe next time."

Not far away, Hiroshi Motomiya had already hailed a taxi. He told Hibiki Higashino to go home first, saying that a senior should take care of a junior.

Higashino Hibiki had no choice but to agree.

The proprietress, Xiaochun, was watching at the door the whole time, so nothing bad happened to Ben Gonghongzhi.

He had a very fulfilling New Year's party this year, thanks to the guidance of his senior, Hiroshi Motomiya.

……

Today is Hibiki Higashino's last visit to Akira Amano's studio.

Obsidian Chapter is almost finished.

In the end, Sawada Tsunayoshi removed his limiter, gained super intuition, and became Rokudo Mukuro's counter.

He fought calmly, and his personality also matured from a cowardly and weak child to someone who was gentle to his friends and could calmly deal with his opponents.

He ultimately defeated the formidable Rokudo Mukuro.

"After today, it's time to say goodbye."

After the original manuscript was completed, Higashino Hibiki said to Amano Akira.

“Hmm,” Amano Akira nodded hesitantly, then suddenly asked, “Teacher, can’t we collaborate more?”

During this period, "Katekyo Hitman Reborn!" achieved increasingly better results, with the number of copies of the main series and the collected volumes steadily increasing.

She also learned a lot.

My drawing skills, storyboarding, and other abilities have improved a lot.

Most of the habits I learned from shoujo manga that differed from the style of shonen manga have been corrected.

“Amano-sensei,” Hibiki Higashino glanced at her and said with a gentle smile, “You can succeed without me. Katekyo Hitman Reborn! is becoming more and more interesting. I believe in you.”

Just like Lu Mingfei, Sawada Tsunayoshi grows and transforms from a useless person into a trusted leader, and readers' love for him will only increase.

This is all thanks to Akira Amano's abilities.

"I understand." Amano Akira took a deep breath and nodded.

"But Mr. Higashino."

"Ok?"

Amano Akira said gently, "When you were drawing, you always had a smile on your face. You looked so happy. I thought you would stay."

"Is that so?" Higashino Hibiki touched the corner of his mouth.

"Hmm, that's strange."

Hibiki Higashino couldn't wait to draw "Hanzawa Naoki".

Venturing into new fields filled him with both fear and anticipation—emotions he hadn't experienced in a long time.

He knew there wouldn't be any problems with "Death Note" and "Puella Magi Madoka Magica," so he drew them with a calm mind, strategizing and handling them with ease.

When he joined Young Jump, he had a lot to learn.

Including sexual love, violence, and liberation from rights, these are the three key elements that Young Jump learns from Shonen Jump's "friendship, effort, and victory."

From this perspective, although the two manga magazines both belong to Shueisha, there is a significant difference between them.

Hibiki Higashino said, "Because it's interesting to step out of your comfort zone and face challenges."

"This teacher is a really strange person."

……

The Obsidian Chapter is complete.

Readers holding Weekly Shonen Jump magazines were excitedly discussing it.

"Tsuna fighting with a blank expression is so cool," the girl said excitedly, covering her mouth. "So cute and fierce."

"His eyes are so beautiful."

"The final battle was so exciting! It's just as thrilling as the battle in One Piece!"

"It was supposed to be a funny slice-of-life story, but it turned into a shonen manga so smoothly and so interestingly! It's amazing!"

"It's probably because of the addition of Akino-sensei; his storyboarding and drawing skills made a great contribution."

"I'm really looking forward to the next chapter of 'Katekyo Hitman Reborn!'!"

"But their collaboration has ended."

"Oh? What a pity."

"But the teacher's new work will be released soon, I'd love to see it too, it wouldn't be a loss."

The readership of Weekly Shonen Jump is mostly elementary and middle school students.

These children were discussing Akino Tori's new work with each other at school and on the streets.

"It's probably a sci-fi comic! The teacher hasn't drawn anything like this before! Mech battles, space fortresses!"

"Oh! But it could also be a horror comic, with ghostly wails at midnight and dismembered limbs."

"It might be a school romance manga!"

"Japanese religious comics!"

"Funny comic!"

"Mystery comics!"

"Action Manga!"

"Sports comics!"
