Full-time comic artist

Koji Yoshida's face darkened.

He wasn't the one who discovered Tori Akino's future; he was just the editor in charge of Tori Akino's work. It was this identity that made him so popular.

"That's all?"

"Yes!" Yashiro exclaimed wistfully, "Your next manga, Yoshida-san, will you continue to be in charge of it?"

“Of course!” Yoshida nodded firmly.

"I'd be content if I could get closer to my teacher." He firmly believed he could continue writing the story.

Yashiro looked forward to the future, becoming Tori Akino's future junior.

"That's fantastic."

……

"Tori Akino Mirai is leaving Jump."

Sasaki frowned.

He looked at Higashino Hibiki, unable to make a decision for a long time.

No matter what choice they make, Jump will suffer a huge blow.

But the person in front of me is shamelessly waiting for my decision.

They didn't take into account the difficulty of making the decision at all.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

“Tori Akino-kun,” Sasaki said, “do you remember the manga we talked about before?”

"what?"

"The Story of a Cartoonist".

"of course."

“Then we’ll serialize both,” Sasaki said firmly. “We’ll serialize Hanzawa Naoki in 'Seinen Jump' and a manga about a manga artist in 'Weekly Shonen Jump'.”

Higashino Hibiki exclaimed in disbelief, "How can this be done!"

“Of course!” Sasaki said calmly and firmly, without waiting for Higashino to think, “As long as we cooperate with others!”

After hearing that story, he had some thoughts.

The storyline is about comic book creation, which may have a narrow audience.

But correspondingly, it will inspire many people to strive towards serialization.

Weekly Shonen Jump plants seeds in these people's hearts, and they will reap the rewards in the future.

As long as Jump has a constant influx of new blood, it will never perish.

This is of considerable help to Jump's strategy.

More importantly, Akino Tori is still being serialized in Jump, and the connection has not been broken.

Their bond with Tori Akino remains, and they can create even more stories in the future.

"Please let me think about it."

“Yes,” Sasaki nodded and stood up. “I’ll take you to meet the editor-in-chief of Weekly Young Jump.”

……

The editorial office of Weekly Young Jump is also located in the Shueisha building.

When Hibiki Higashino was serializing "The Garden of Words," he also had dealings with "Weekly Young Jump," at which time the editor-in-chief of Young Jump was Yoshinori Hino.

Time flies, and Hideki Furuta, Yoshinori Hino's successor, has been reassigned. He is now the editor-in-chief of Young Jump, named Jun Tanaka.

When Hibiki Higashino entered the office, he found Hiroshi Motomiya there as well.

He and Tanaka Jun looked exhausted as they discussed "The Burning Nation".

Compared to the troubles this manga brought, Gintama can only be described as a gentle breeze.

"Sasaki-san, is there something you need?" Tanaka Jun asked Sasaki.

Hibiki Higashino stood beside Sasaki.

Upon seeing Higashino Hibiki, Motomiya Hiroshi's fatigue vanished. He stood up excitedly and greeted him, "Is the drawing finished?"

"It's mostly finished," Higashino Hibiki nodded.

"What is this?" Tanaka Jun asked, puzzled.

"That's very good news."

Holding the file folder, Hiroshi Motomiya asked curiously, "May I take a look?"

“Of course,” Hibiki Higashino said.

Looking at this scene and Sasaki's stern face, Tanaka Jun seemed to be deep in thought.

He stood up, overwhelmed with surprise and joy, stammering, "Could it be...could it be!"

……

Akino Mirai will be serialized in Weekly Young Jump!

This was huge news within Shueisha.

The editors-in-chief of all the editorial departments of Shueisha, whether it was Jump SP, V Jump, Ultra Jump, or the girls' magazine COOKIE, were all filled with envy and jealousy.

On Jump, even mediocre manga artists are worth poaching.

It's a big deal that Mirai Tori, a pillar of Jump, is going to be serialized in Seinen Jump.

"That Tanaka guy got hit by a pie falling from the sky!" he gritted his teeth.

……

"Is Tori Akino going to be serialized in 'Weekly Shonen Jump'?"

When Katsura Masakazu heard the news, he was very surprised.

This trajectory is somewhat similar to his.

After completing his masterpiece of romance comics, "I's", he drew the comic he had always wanted to draw, which was inspired by "Batman", "Super Demon".

This manga is unsurprisingly less popular than "I's," with an average volume sales of only around 20 copies. While it can be considered excellent, it is still far behind the success of his previous romance manga.

The 15 volumes of "I's" have sold over 1000 million copies.

But Masakazu Katsura was quite happy drawing it, and the series started in 2002 and has been running until 2005.

It is foreseeable that "Super Demon" will continue to be drawn for a long time.

His creative desire for "Super Demon" is unmatched by any romance comic.

"Is Toriakino-kun like me?"

They have higher aspirations for themselves.

Perhaps that was also the original intention behind drawing comics.

He said he couldn't be sure.

“Perhaps,” Torishima Kazuhiko laughed, looking up. He had read “Hanzawa Naoki,” but that manga was quite good, something that someone as presumptuous as you couldn’t compare to.

He was quite blunt.

Katsura Masakazu smiled with a troubled expression. "Mr. Torishima, what you said is really going too far."

"However, it's great to be talented; you can succeed at drawing any kind of comic."

He lacked this talent when drawing superhero comics.

……

Higashino Mirai made a mess of food everywhere, even with a napkin on, her sleeves were still dirty.

Akemi Akemi was struggling to deal with it.

"Your son is really something."

She pinched her pinky finger and showed Higashino Hibiki the dirty clothes with disdain.

"He's three years old, but he's still like a little baby."

She'll be making adult food in a bit.

I've lost all interest.

“Then let’s send him to kindergarten. It’s about time,” Higashino suggested.

“Yes.” Akemi Akemi nodded.

There is a kindergarten near the villa, which is quite luxuriously decorated and the teachers are very competent. The neighbors all praise it.

“Well then,” Higashino Hibiki leaned closer to Akemi Akemi, his expression serious, which startled Akemi Akemi.

“You…” Higashino Hibiki slowly opened his mouth, but then he saw the dirty clothes lying between him and Akemi Akimiya.

He snatched the clothes away with disgust and threw them aside.

“Let’s start over,” Hibiki Higashino said seriously. “Akimiya-sensei, after you no longer have to take care of children, do you want to start drawing manga again?”

"Huh?" This question stunned Akemi Akimiya.

As for her family, she has decided to make the sacrifices.

Higashino Hibiki's words left her momentarily speechless.

Chapter 365 The Higashino Couple's Efforts

Akemi Akemi's dream is to become a manga artist, and she has put in a lot of effort for it, failing repeatedly but never giving up.

After "Sakura Mission" ended, her obsession disappeared.

After that, she became pregnant with Higashino Mirai and never mentioned creating new works again. She devoted herself to taking care of her family and becoming Higashino Hibiki's assistant.

Time flies, and during that time Hibiki Higashino drew two manga, "Death Note" and "Puella Magi Madoka Magica". In 2005, when Higashino asked her, "Have you ever thought about starting to draw manga again?"
