Full-time comic artist

"Attack on Titan?" Yashiro recalled the description in Jump. "Isn't he just someone with terrible basic skills? How dare he!"

Soma nodded repeatedly.

“However…” Yashiro hesitated for a moment, “His eyes in manga characters are really amazing.”

"Huh?" Soma Satoru stared at him blankly.

Yashiro nodded firmly, "It has a crazy feel to it, it's bound to be a unique manga."

"Is that so?" Soma Satoru looked at Isayama Hajime, who gave a terrifying smile while looking at Soma Satoru in a friendly manner.

Soma Satoru couldn't help but shudder.

"That's really crazy."

……

The arrival of newcomers at Shueisha's New Year's party is sure to be a unique experience.

It's rare to see so many top comic book masters gathered together, no matter how grand the event is.

At the opening of the New Year's party, Shueisha Chairman Kazuhiko Torishima took the stage to give a speech.

People who were not seen in the past all made an appearance.

"Hey, Torishino," Torishima Kazuhiko said, holding a glass of champagne and looking at Hibiki Higashino in the audience before he started his speech. "How much longer are you going to rest? Hurry up and produce some new works. You're the only one who lets his wife support him by drawing comics."

"Hahaha." The audience burst into laughter.

Once the laughter subsided, Higashino Hibiki shouted, "Hurry up and stop! I really don't like being punished by standing!"

Everyone was laughing and joking again.

“Alright then,” Kazuhiko Torishima shrugged, raising his champagne glass. “I’ll start this time, everyone cheers.”

"cheers!"

The New Year's party has ended.

……

In the corner, a group of newcomers to the manga, fans of Tori Akino Mirai, gathered together.

"Mr. Torishima was on stage and actually urged Mr. Torishino to draw a new work."

"Tori Akino-sensei is amazing, she's not scared at all."

"That's Kazuhiko Torishima... Dr. Masilitsu!"

Hajime Isayama, immersed in the group, was dizzy. "Masilito actually exists."

He seems to be Alice in Wonderland.

“Of course he exists,” Soma Satoru said. “Mr. Torishima is the prototype of Masiritsu, and he was also drawn in my uncle’s manga.”

"Your uncle?" Hajime Isayama asked, puzzled.

“It’s the manga artist Ichiro Soma,” Satoru Soma said.

"Oh! The author of 'Space Railway Heroes'!" Hajime Isayama's eyes widened. "I loved watching that anime when I was a kid."

"No wonder you draw so well, you have the genes of a cartoonist."

Hajime Isayama had read Satoru Soma's short manga and used to lament that he was not as good as a high school student.

"He's my uncle, where did he get the genes from..." Soma Satoru was speechless.

Yashiro Shigeaki had remained silent until suddenly he asked Hajime Isayama, "Why would Tori Akino-sensei approve of you?"

Despite his genius, he hasn't received much attention.

Hajime Isayama's eyes widened in confusion. "I don't know either..."

He thought about all his strengths, and none of them seemed to be enough to attract the attention of Tori Akino Mirai.

“Yes, that must be what I think,” Yashiro nodded confidently.

"What!" Hajime Isayama stared at him.

Soma Satoru was extremely curious.

"Tori Akino-sensei is the god of manga; he can sense the brilliance in everyone."

"Tch~" Hajime Isayama was greatly disappointed. "You're in high school now, Yashiro-kun, it's time for you to get over your chuunibyou phase."

“No, perhaps it’s true,” Soma Satoru said, looking at Hibiki Higashino in the distance with admiration. “Only the god of manga can achieve what Tori Akino-sensei has accomplished.”

Hajime Isayama was stunned.

……

The plot of Bakuman.

Yumeha Ashirogi serialized a comedy manga, "Run, Dafa Dandou!", which is very popular among elementary school students.

Xiao Zheng's ranking has consistently remained around 10th.

Mashiro Moritaka was very dissatisfied with this, and Takagi Akito's drawing was also uncomfortable.

They compromised with the market and drew comics they didn't like.

Mashiro Moritaka didn't want to continue the serialization of "Run, Daibatsu Danto!", and Takagi Akito was also having a splitting headache from trying to come up with funny storylines.

Eiji Niizuma, her former rival, doesn't care about this manga at all.

Even Hattori Tetsuya, the editor who recognized Ashirogi Muto's talent, did not mention this manga in his wedding speech to Takagi Akito.

"Run, Daebak Dandou!" is a work that disappointed many people.

Greymon evolves into Zombiemon.

Probably so.

Hajime Isayama was looking at "Bakuman" hoping to get some inspiration.

After arriving in Tokyo, he needed to work part-time to make a living, and in his spare time he honed his drawing skills under the tutelage of Hattori Tetsuya.

Reading comics is also a part of hard work, and a very important part at that.

Eiji Niizuma is being interviewed in "Bakuman".

He was simultaneously serializing two comics, and spent all his time drawing comics except for eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet.

The host joked, "No, no, no, but sometimes I do think about putting down the manuscript and going out to have some fun."

Another host said, "You have to fight against your own laxity; you are your own worst enemy. Is that the feeling?"

“No… enemy… nemesis,” Niizuma Eiji became solemn. He put down his juice and pointed sharply at the camera. “It’s Ashirogi Muto-sensei!”

Leave

I can't write it.

Chapter 405 Taking Pride

In a television interview, Eiji Niizuma devised a strategy against Muyo Ashirogi.

His nemesis is Akira Muto!

The audience erupted in uproar, all asking, "Who is Ashirogi Muneha?"

This made Mashiro Moritaka make up his mind.

He and Akito Takagi found Yoshihisa Boku and asked him to finish "Danto".

The bottle was furious about this. Before "Dan Dou" was reduced to the point of being canceled, it was a popular comic among children.

Sasaki even said, "If you want to stop, then stop. We don't need manga artists who give up halfway through a serialization. If you're prepared not to continue drawing in Jump in the future, then you can give up."

With "Dandou", there is absolutely no way to defeat Eiji Niizuma, who is serializing "CROW".

Ashirogi Muto realized that if their next manga couldn't compete with Niizuma Eiji's, they would no longer sign the contract!

I will no longer draw comics in Jump.

"To not draw what you want to draw is to admit you have no talent... What a luxurious idea." Hajime Isayama looked at "Bakuman" and couldn't quite understand this part of the plot.

He wanted to become a cartoonist, just to have his work serialized, no matter what he drew.

Ashirogi Muto is the protagonist of a shonen manga, and they are naturally impulsive and talented. But Isayama Hajime, who aspires to be a manga artist, feels that only true geniuses can have such a storyline after repeatedly hitting a wall.

These mortals are merely NPCs on the path to genius.

“Oh no…” Hajime Isayama patted his cheeks. “How could I have such a thought?”

Readers of "Bakuman" will feel incredibly excited when they see this chapter. It shows how the protagonist, under the pressure of his nemesis, finally liberates his soul, goes all out, and does everything he can to pursue the manga he wants to draw and achieve even greater success!

It is the moment when an insect molts and emerges from its cocoon.

"Am I being a little...too insecure?" Hajime Isayama asked himself.

"Only arrogant people can serialize stories."

"Go for it! I'll draw a manga that surpasses One Piece!"

At the beginning of "Bakuman," Mashiro Moritaka says that in today's world of declining birthrates, it is impossible for any work to surpass "One Piece."

He thought that Professor Toriakino probably thought the same thing.

Then set a lofty goal for yourself and strive to achieve it.

……

"After more than two years of serialization, Ashirogi Muto has finally launched his attack on Niizuma Eiji."

"They've been through so much, repeatedly hitting walls, taking breaks due to illness, and having their 'Detective Suspicion' canceled due to being influenced by copycat works... I long to see them succeed."

"Mashiro's drawing skills have improved in every aspect, making him a manga artist who can rival anyone else. Takagi Akito has also matured a lot and adapted to the rhythm of the manga genre. This time, we can definitely do it."

"Didn't 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' also get copied? What's the name of that manga?"

"Forgot? Who cares?"

"I just want to see Ashirogi Muto's unorthodox manga as soon as possible."
