Full-time comic artist

The main point is to learn from the lessons of the previous book.

As I wrote the previous book, it started to feel like a review.

Half of the book is based on the original work, and it doesn't properly depict everyday life.

So the more I wrote, the more constrained I became, until there was nothing left to write and I had to hastily finish the piece.

Therefore, the content of the original work in this book has been selectively selected.

Try to keep the specific gravity as low as possible.

As for those who say it's too weak, there's nothing we can do about that.

One major drawback of plagiarism comics is that the time span of the works is too long.

If I don't write about reality, then every few years will pass and it will feel too empty. Actually, eight months have already passed since I started writing this.

Some readers suggested drawing One Piece or Naruto.

But that's simply unrealistic, since the time span is often more than a decade, and there wouldn't be any other works to write about.

The works I've selected so far are mostly from 2 to 5 years ago, which is already quite a long time.

Unless they simultaneously start working on light novels and games, and establish a two-dimensional empire.

However, this doesn't fit the tone of the book, which focuses on comics.

My initial idea was to combine the manga and anime, with the anime focusing on the Asahina route. The protagonist would create the script, while she would act as the director, saving the protagonist the trouble and increasing the number of plagiarized works in the novel.

This is also the reason why "Hey—Come Out" was made into an animation.

This line will continue for now.

The comic will be serialized long-term, with short stories published concurrently.

This is the journey I took to write this book.

I think these aspects are done fairly well, but the romance storyline is still poorly written.

On the one hand, I didn't write out the sense of gradual progression. I was too hasty and always wanted to do something big, so it's confusing for readers.

After carefully reading "The Garden of Words," I felt the emotional drive of Makoto Shinkai, which made me feel even more that what I wrote was rubbish.

Each book brings progress; let's see if the next one is any better.

Tomorrow will be 10,000.

Then, I updated 8000 words per day for the first month.

The author is clumsy with his hands, so I won't mention any extra chapters.

I find it hard to do that too. T_T

It will cause a sensation, Arigato.

The Dragon Ball novel, now complete (Chapter 89), is now open for first-day subscriptions.

On Friday, Sasaki informed him that Xiaozheng had once again come in second place in the "Hikaru no Go" competition.

However, the gap with Dragon Ball has narrowed somewhat.

“Dragon Ball is different from most works,” Sasaki comforted, “even though it’s almost over, it’s still the most popular. Every time, Xiaozheng is at the top.”

Higashino Hibiki naturally understood this.

He never imagined that he could easily surpass Dragon Ball and take first place in the game.

He's still working hard, and the storyline of "Hikaru no Go" will become even more interesting later on.

Hibiki Higashino firmly believed this.

On Monday, he arrived at the art history classroom early in the morning.

The other students were sighing and complaining, but Higashino Hibiki, who was used to waking up early, was doing alright.

Yoshii Yamahisa remained as obedient as ever, sitting quietly in the first row.

"Good morning, Higashino-kun."

"Good morning!" Higashino waved, then suddenly stared intently at Yoshii Yamahisa, his expression grave. "Is that... a hickey on your neck?"

"Ah! It was yesterday..." Yoshii Yamahisa exclaimed in surprise. Realizing what had happened, he covered his neck with his hand and answered guiltily, "There was no hickey! Shhhhhh~"

Higashino Hibiki felt defeated. He patted Yoshii Yamahisa's shoulder listlessly. "You went to see Takagi-senpai yesterday, didn't you... She really is a carnivore."

"No way!"

Behind Yoshii Yamahisa, a boy named Tada Banri slammed his hand on the table and suddenly stood up.

Yoshiiyama's heart shrank.

Tada Banri shouted in disbelief:

"Dragon Ball is ending!"

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

So it was just the end of Dragon Ball...

Wait! Dragon Ball has ended!

He looked at Higashino Hibiki, who nodded silently.

He received a sample copy of Jump over the weekend and wrote it on the cover.

There are five chapters left until the end of Dragon Ball.

"Is Dragon Ball, which I grew up with, really going to end?"

Many people, including Yoshii Yamahisa, couldn't believe it.

Everyone in this class is an art major. Although comics are a form of entertainment and a niche art form.

However, art students will also learn the techniques of comic artists.

Many cartoonists have their works exhibited in touring exhibitions.

For example, the Akira Toriyama exhibition tour has accumulated more than two million views to date.

They are very knowledgeable about Dragon Ball.

Tada Banri recited Toriyama Akira's words:

"After a long and intense battle, the author himself is no longer able to continue the serialization."

The story of Wukong has come to an end. Thank you all so much for your enjoyment.

Below is a picture of Sun Wukong waving goodbye.

Tada Banri put the magazine down dejectedly.

"It feels like the air and water have left me."

The others nodded in agreement.

"I've been watching Dragon Ball since I was a child. From the initial novel worldview, the various strange and harmonious animals, and the journey to find the Dragon Balls, to Goku's pursuit of becoming stronger, I loved it all. It's such a shame."

"I started studying art because of Dragon Ball. After seeing the paintings by Toriyama-sensei, I felt that I wanted to paint like that too, and I've come to where I am now without really knowing what I'm doing."

They were all filled with emotion, reminiscing about their past.

They even secretly criticized Dragon Ball for its inconsistent power levels.

But now that it's over, I'm really reluctant to let it go.

Yoshii Yamahisa sighed. He was also a loyal fan of Akira Toriyama, but now he had to say goodbye to his favorite work.

Looking at the scene of utter devastation, Higashino couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow.

Surpassing Dragon Ball is simply impossible.

As a time traveler, he hesitated for a moment.

……

In the afternoon, Yoshii Yamahisa turned up his collar and went back to his dormitory with Hibiki Higashino.

As I passed by the basketball court, I saw two or three people playing basketball.

Higashino Hibiki found it strange; in his previous life, the basketball courts were always packed after school.

Several people can only use one basket, and they have to wait in line.

The basketball atmosphere isn't very strong right now. Compared to the basketball club, Musashino's baseball and tennis clubs have much more members.

He was still wondering why Hua Chao needed his helper when she was playing basketball.

The popularity of basketball in Japan did not increase as much as it did later.

He flipped through basketball manga and could only find Hiroki Yagami's "Slam Dunk".

There was a sense of déjà vu for a moment, but there was no Go from "Hikaru no Go" and no basketball from "Slam Dunk".

"Higashino-kun, what's wrong?" Yoshii Yamahisa asked curiously, "You play basketball too?"

Hibiki Higashino nodded and then said, "I've already decided what kind of works I want to release in the future."

"Eh! Isn't 'Hikaru no Go' still being serialized?" Yoshii Yamahisa exclaimed in surprise.

“Of course not now,” Hibiki Higashino replied.

……

Back at the studio, Hibiki Higashino found many people there.

Chiharu Minami, Asahina, Akemi Akimiya, and Eiichiro Oda.

They sat together, exchanging words from time to time.

"What happened?" Hibiki Higashino asked curiously.

"Is Dragon Ball going to end?" Minami Chiharu asked.
