Full-time comic artist

She was thrilled that she had actually appeared in a comic book magazine.

"Oh no, my heart is about to jump out of my chest."

It was even more exciting than confessing to a senior I liked.

Reader 2: What is the teacher's opinion on the character Fujisawa Miki?

Torino Mirai: She's a very hardworking person, full of energy, and eager for recognition. That's about it. But don't try to emulate her; in today's society, you can live a great life on your own.

"How kind you are, Akino-sensei." Kanbara smiled as he touched the manga book.

but……

She was quite taken aback. "Why are all these topics topics that I care about?"

Even though the plot has clearly progressed to the headquarters, Tori Akino Mirai is still answering questions from the character Fujisawa Miki.

That's really strange.

"But it's really nice that the teacher is paying attention to our small group of readers."

She didn't connect it to Higashino Hibiki; she quickly forgot about her complaint from that day.

……

Xiao Ri mustered up the courage to buy "Weekly Young Jump," and was relieved to find that the cover of this issue's manga was quite serious.

She skipped and hopped as she bought the comic book, wanting to stop caring about what other people thought.

As she flipped through the comics, her emotions shifted constantly. She felt sad for Hanzawa Naoki and hated Owada for his ruthlessness.

We are filled with tension and anticipation because of the arduous mission of Hanzawa, which requires 120 billion yen.

Then, Xiao Ri saw the column where Tori Akino Mirai answered readers' questions.

There are a total of 8 Q&A dialogues, and there are many topics that Xiao Ri is particularly interested in.

There are people concerned about Hanzawa's son who has disappeared without a trace, and people curious about the romantic love story of Hanzawa and his wife.

"It feels even more interesting now, 'Hanzawa Naoki'," she thought.

……

In the chairman's office.

"Editor-in-Chief Tanaka,"

Torishima Kazuhiko looked at the editor-in-chief of Weekly Youth Jump in front of him.

This was also one of his old subordinates.

"Yes, Chairman." Tanaka Jun waited respectfully for the question.

"Why did you change the style of the cover of Weekly Young Jump?" Torishima Kazuhiko asked curiously.

This matter is neither a big deal nor a small one.

Maintaining readers' habits is of paramount importance, and Jun Tanaka's actions could very well affect the circulation of "Young Jump".

“Editor-in-Chief,” Jun Tanaka said, “attracting readers by skirting the edges can only last so long. Many of the works in Weekly Shonen Magazine used to have erotic content, until Kindaichi Case Files was published, which changed the situation.”

"Only then was Weekly Shonen Magazine able to compete with Shonen Jump."

“I think that with the arrival of Kindaichi Case Files in Weekly Shonen Jump, it’s time to start making changes.”

Of course, the changes are only on a smaller scale; the overall direction will not change.

Aside from a few issues featuring a manga style, the covers of Weekly Young Jump mainly consist of photos of female idols, voice actresses, and cosplayers.

Torishima Kazuhiko asked with great interest, "Is 'Hanzawa Naoki' the same as your 'Kindaichi Case Files'?"

Jun Tanaka nodded: "That's without a doubt."

He had never seen a manga as popular with readers as "Hanzawa Naoki".

If Hanzawa Naoki can't do it, then no manga can.

"Then go ahead and do it." Torishima Kazuhiko gestured with his chin.

"Yes."

Tanaka Jun respectfully withdrew.

Torishima Kazuhiko breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him leave.

After becoming chairman, he needed to maintain the demeanor befitting his position, which was quite tiring.

"Tanaka trusts Tori Akino a lot."

"Tori Akino can make a name for himself anywhere."

"I really had a keen eye for talent back then."

"Haha."

He stroked his chin, thinking smugly.

Even after becoming the chairman of Shueisha, discovering Akino Tori's future remains something he is proud of.

……

"Teacher, thank you for your help."

Assistant Ito placed the storyboard in front of Higashino Hibiki with both hands.

"It's alright, it's nothing," Higashino replied with a smile.

As a teacher, he naturally wanted to help his assistants who aspired to become cartoonists.

Ito was very serious and conscientious in his work on "Hanzawa Naoki", and it was nothing unusual for Hibiki Higashino to occasionally glance at the storyboard.

He looked down at the storyboard.

As an assistant to a veteran manga artist, Ito's basic skills are not a problem, and his drawing skills will not be a drawback.

However, the plot is rather complicated.

“Ito-san,” Higashino pointed to the panel and said, “it’s the same old problem. The plot is too empty and lacks appeal. It’s not wrong to have your own convictions, but to draw a manga with depth, you can’t rely on grand scenes. Instead, you need to refine the details and develop the plot from small to large.”

Ito's expectant expression dimmed, but he clenched his fist to bolster his spirits. "I understand, teacher. I will revise it."

He withdrew.

Higashino nodded silently.

……

Monday arrived quickly.

Weekly Shonen Jump is released.

The first half of this episode of "Bakuman" revolves around the clash between love and dreams among young boys and girls.

The pace of striving for one's dreams should not be affected by a temporary romance.

Mashiro Moritaka and Azuki Miho will only be together after Mashiro Moritaka becomes a manga artist.

"Love in youth is so beautiful, a cautious and mutual journey."

Unperturbed by their inability to be together, the young men and women set their sights on the moment when their dreams would come true.

Words like inspirational, hard-working, and wonderful can all be used to describe this part of the story.

After failing to win the "Monthly Prize", Mashiro Moritaka and Takagi Akito set their sights on the "Tezuka Prize", and their journey is about to begin again.

"When I was in school, I could draw one or two pages a day, and when I was on vacation, I could draw five or six pages a day."

That's how it is, Zhencheng is striving for the highest level.

"This is so inspiring! This is the beauty of inspirational comics." Even as adults, some readers are still excited when they read this part. "After Hikaru no Go ended, Tori Akino-sensei's comics brought me this feeling again."

It is a state of nothingness, where the protagonist devotes himself entirely to the comics, no longer paying attention to anything else, and drawing comics without any distractions.

In the final scene of the manga, Sasaki, along with his editor Hattori Yujiro, travels to the countryside of Aomori to invite the talented newcomer, Niizuma Eiji, to Tokyo to draw manga.

Eiji Niizuma continued drawing his manga without turning his head, even as he faced Sasaki.

His room was filled with comic books, and manuscript paper was scattered everywhere.

"Eiji Niizuma is even more dedicated to his manga than the main character; he is completely immersed in his own manga world."

Soma Satoru couldn't help but think.

He used this image to overlap with the image of Tori Akino Mirai in his memory, but they didn't match up at all.

"Is it because the teacher has matured, or... is the prototype for Eiji Niizuma someone else?"

He didn't understand it, but he really liked the character.

Genius characters with a childlike heart have always been a popular type of character.

In inspirational manga like this, characters like Eiji Niizuma should definitely appear.

Only after Sasaki explained his purpose did Eiji Niizuma turn around, pointing at Sasaki with his G-pen with an arrogant air.

"If I become the most popular author in Jump, please grant me the authority to end a manga that I hate."

After saying that, he turned around and let out a strange cry as he drew a comic book with great enthusiasm.

He's a complete freak.

The comic ends here.

Soma Satoru's emotions remained unsettled for a long time.

"Editor Yoshida said that Professor Tori Akino said something similar... Doesn't that mean that Professor Tori Akino also made such a request?"

"He finished it, didn't he? He must have finished it! Because of Mr. Toriakino."

"So, which manga has been completed?"

His pupils dilated violently, his brain racing as he thought about the works that had suddenly ended years ago.

"Is it Rurouni Kenshin? Or Boboboshi? Is it The Legend of the Dirty King? Or Shaman King?"
