Tokyo 1970: I'll draw Doraemon?

Even if you say that, teacher...

Akira Toriyama lowered his head and whispered, "Challenging Oikawa-sensei? How could I possibly do that? I was too bold yesterday."

This was a senior he had admired and respected since high school.

He should be content just to stand alongside his seniors, like Shan Zhi yesterday.

"Trust me, trust in yourself." Fushimikawa patted Akira Toriyama on the shoulder, giving him some confidence.

"Okay, enough with the jokes."

Fushimikawa walked to the head seat and beckoned to his assistants, "Please come over here, everyone."

With important business to attend to, the lively and noisy atmosphere immediately ceased.

Asano Kei and the others came to Fushimi Kawa and sat around the table. Fushimi Kawa then began to arrange the work to be done.

"Parasyte has been finished for a long time, it's time to start a new series."

"Oh?" Ueda Eiko exclaimed in surprise. She raised her hand and asked expectantly, "What kind of story is it?"

"It will probably be serialized for two months, a short story of about 160 pages... As for the story, you know it."

Fushimi Kawa bent down, opened the drawer, and pulled out a piece of paper.

"Could it be?"

"Is this it?" Fushimikawa slammed the paper on the table, pointed to the words "5 Centimeters Per Second," and made the final decision, "This is the one to draw!"

"5 Centimeters Per Second" is a classic masterpiece by Makoto Shinkai, consisting of three short stories: "Cherry Blossom," "Cosmonaut," and "5 Centimeters Per Second."

The first story is about the beauty and purity of love, the second story is about the vastness of the world, and the third story is about forgetting and letting go.

Makoto Shinkai compares the love celebrated by countless poets and writers with a time scale spanning more than ten years, telling a tragedy that has left countless viewers deeply moved.

Fushimikawa was trapped inside for a long time, and unlike the main characters, he couldn't let go of the past for a long time; he still feels bad when he thinks about it now.

"That's wonderful!" Eiko Ueda was very happy. She loved the story. "Compared to the novel, Oikawa-sensei's manga will definitely bring out the extraordinary charm of '5 Centimeters Per Second' even more."

Akira Toriyama nodded: "Me too."

Both assistants immediately expressed their support. Fushimikawa looked at the other person and asked, "Megumi, what about you?"

"Me?" Asano Kei's gaze remained fixed on the paper on which the story of "5 Centimeters Per Second" was written, watching the beautiful love between the young boy and girl, Shinohara Akari and Tono Takaki, with a faint smile on her face.

Even when Fushimikawa interrupted her reading, the smile didn't fade.

"Oh! Asano-senpai is smiling so happily, it's the first time I've ever seen that!" Ueda Eiko exclaimed excitedly.

"Really!" Akira Toriyama blinked, wondering if he was seeing things.

Asano Kei ignored them, her bright eyes fixed on Fushimikawa: "I've only read 'Cherry Blossom Manuscript,' but childhood friends are definitely the right thing to do. Drawing '5 Centimeters Per Second' would be a good choice."

"Since you agree, it seems my choice was right. The essence of '5 Centimeters Per Second' is the last story, which is also the culmination of the whole story. It's more interesting than you expected."

Asano Kei's eyes lit up: "I'm really looking forward to it."

“Yes,” Fushimikawa said, turning his gaze away from Asano Kei and looking at the other two. He raised his hands and announced loudly, “The ‘5 Centimeters Per Second’ serialization project is now officially launched.”

"Oh!"

"Bump!"

A knock on the door interrupted the cheers from inside the studio.

“It must be Editor Fukuda. He always does this. After talking to Mr. Oikawa, he still wants to come to our office for a face-to-face meeting. I went to open the door.”

Eiko Ueda, with a carefree attitude, turned and walked towards the entrance.

Without asking the name of the person outside, she opened the door directly.

"Editor Fukuda...who are you?!"

Eiko Ueda was dumbfounded when she saw the man in front of her who was several years older than her.

……

"Oikawa-sensei's assistant? I'm not going!"

When Tomoyuki Fukuda knocked on the door of Tadashi Kobayashi, the winner of the Fuji Prize for Outstanding Work, he was met with strong opposition.

"OK then."

He got up and left.

Fukuda doesn't necessarily need Kobayashi Masashi.

This person has solid fundamental skills, making him very suitable as an assistant.

Since that didn't work, Fukuda decided to contact other people.

There are many promising young talents like Kobayashi Tadashi in the future.

A phone call to the hospital was answered quickly.

"I'm leaving right now!"

That's what the man said.

……

"Oh, you're here to apply for the job as Oikawa-sensei's assistant? I thought you were a bad guy."

Eiko Ueda narrowed her eyes. "It feels so subtle, so familiar."

"It's Naruto, isn't it?" Akira Toriyama said. "Upon learning that Itachi was going to cause trouble for Naruto, Sasuke, driven by the desire to protect his comrades and prevent Itachi from taking away the people he cherishes from him again, rushed to Naruto's location..."

“Oh! I know that,” the visitor replied. “When we arrived at our destination, Sasuke knocked on the door, Naruto opened it, and the person outside was Uchiha Itachi, whose face was full of gloom and whose eyes were lifeless and exuded a strong sense of oppression. When I saw this, I was really startled.”

“That’s right, that’s right,” Eiko Ueda nodded cheerfully. “That’s exactly what I wanted to say.”

In Naruto, Sasuke finally met his brother.

As their Sharingan eyes met, Sasuke remembered: He was an avenger!

"I did as you said, I hated you, I loathed you, and then in order to kill you, I...!"

"I'm only alive now!"

For the first time ever, Chidori exploded so violently in his hands!
