Tokyo 1970: I'll draw Doraemon?

The editor's responsibilities were not fulfilled at all.

If that weren't the case, why would he fawn over the editor-in-chief?

It would be such a wonderful thing if someone with such solid abilities as Takei could criticize him while holding the position of editor-in-chief.

“What Takei said is not wrong. Didn’t the editorial department assign Morimoto-sensei to you?” Watanabe said, looking at Yamashita. “Morimoto-sensei is talented, but he’s outdated. If you help him, then serialization won’t be a problem.”

Suppressing his anger, Yamashita nodded: "Yes."

Chapter 46 "Two Shizukas" and "The Tale of the Swapped Ropes"

Two days later, when Takei Toshiki still hadn't contacted him about the contract fee, Fushimikawa realized that the matter had been dropped.

For Fushimikawa, this is certainly a good thing.

To think you can monopolize his ideas for 60 yuan a year is far too cheap.

Tomoyuki Fukuda did visit Oikawa Studio, and they mainly talked about the success of "Ikkyu-san".

"Even though it's already far ahead of third place, it's still not as good as the number one Doraemon."

This left Fukuda somewhat frustrated.

He had thought that Fushimikawa would soon become number one.

But who could have imagined that Fujiko Fujio would master his own future style from Fushimikawa, and through ultimate evolution, become the undisputed number one in Chronicle.

Of course, this was also due to the traffic drawn by Sunday.

Fushimikawa unintentionally dug his own grave, cultivating an invincible opponent.

Is "Ikkyu-san" challenging "Doraemon"?

real or fake?

Of course, thanks to Fujiko Fujio, the world of Doraemon, which releases 6 episodes every month, is being rapidly shaped.

Readers have come to understand the personality traits, hobbies, and dreams of each character.

For example, Shizuka, who loves sweet potatoes, is afraid of embarrassing herself or being impolite in front of others, so she only eats them in private.

……

"It's about Shizuka again. Oikawa-sensei really likes Shizuka."

"Maybe he really does have a childhood sweetheart like that, it's really enviable."

Inside Waseda University, male students chatted while holding copies of "Sunday".

There's nothing interesting in youth comics; they're all just commercial formulaic stories. Yoshiharu Tsuge hasn't released any new works either. They can only look to Doraemon, which resonates with its readers.

"Hmm! Hmm!" Asano Megumi nodded, her expression flat as she eavesdropped on their conversation.

Unfortunately, the two noticed Asano Megumi, blushed, and ran away, not continuing their conversation.

It's probably embarrassing for college students to be caught reading shonen manga by girls.

Asano Megumi didn't pay attention, pondering the plot of "Two Shizukas" that she had seen yesterday.

The whole thing started with Doraemon's amazing gadgets.

This item is called the "Clone Mirage," and it's a gun-shaped sprayer. Spraying it will create clones.

The clone differs from the original, possessing greater energy and subtle differences in personality.

To eliminate the clone, the original body must press a button.

When Nobita accompanied Shizuka on a date at the mall, he was completely unable to understand the girl's thoughts or give Shizuka a bag that suited her taste, so he used a mirage to create Shizuka B.

This is a doppelganger who speaks his mind, belittling Nobita to nothing.

She said the dress Nobita found was terribly ugly, and because she didn't remember Shizuka's outfit that day, she mistook her for someone else, and that Nobita didn't care about Shizuka.

The key point is that what she said were all Shizuka's true thoughts that she didn't want to say aloud.

This was a huge blow to Nobita.

"Actually, being able to go on a date with someone you like is something to be happy about."

Asano Megumi sighed, completely baffled that the workaholic would waste time accompanying her to buy clothes.

There's only one red string behind her head, which is why she cherishes it until now.

If you were to make the request yourself, he might look at you with surprise and say, "Xiao Hui, you like shopping too!?"

Honestly, his impression of life is still completely stuck in his childhood. He doesn't realize that he has grown up and has developed a girlish heart.

I want to wear makeup to become more beautiful and win the heart of my crush.

"I absolutely dare not say it out loud."

Asano Megumi's spirited face was filled with conflict, and she sighed.

She is usually a decisive person, but when it comes to things she values, she still hesitates to the point of being unable to change her mind.

Compared to her, Nobita was much braver.

……

Shizuka's clone forces her to wear a revealing dress.

Nobita decides to eliminate this clone.

Unfortunately, Shizuka B didn't want to disappear, so she knocked away the prop spray gun. By the time Nobita picked up the gun and turned around, he couldn't tell the difference between the two.

Which one is the real Shizuka?

Nobita kept asking questions, and they answered them all.

Pressed too hard, Nobita shouted, "Does Shizuka like me?"

One person immediately mocked Nobita.

The other woman was extremely shy, clutching the hem of her skirt, head down, face flushed, and speechless.

She really liked Nobita, but because of her ladylike composure, she couldn't say it out loud.

And so, the clone was destroyed.

The comic ends here.

Readers thoroughly enjoyed the sweet moments.

Previously, Nobita had a crush on Shizuka, and Shizuka also cared about Nobita. Although the two had a close relationship, they never explicitly said it.

This statement is as clear as day.

"It's so nice. Nobita is always weak, but he always manages to be surprisingly strong and grow when he's with Shizuka. Shizuka is also kind and caring, looking after the clueless Nobita. It's a two-way street between them."

Such a letter arrived at Fushimikawa Studio.

Of course, malicious comments are inevitable.

Just like the story of the real and fake Monkey King, some readers spread conspiracy theories, saying that "the one who disappeared was actually the real Shizuka", "Nobita only left behind the one who loved him", and "how could the excellent Shizuka possibly like Nobita?"

It completely desecrated the friendship and love between the two.

Fushimikawa ignored them and only refuted them in his studio.

"Doraemon said at the beginning that only the original can eliminate the clone. Besides, the clone has always had a bad personality and is completely different from the real Shizuka, so it's easy to tell the real one from the fake one."

The assistants all nodded in approval, but Asano Megumi had a different opinion.

'If I truly no longer love A-Chuan, then it's better to be erased, leaving behind the me who still loves him.'

However, Asano Megumi couldn't imagine herself like that.

From childhood, her sick mother and weak father led to her living in poverty and being physically frail, and she was always bullied by other children.

She had no money for food, wore tattered clothes, and had no one to play with.

Fushimi River appeared during the darkest time of her life.

Although he is just a child of the same age, he is surprisingly mature.

He took care of her like an older brother, enabling her to support herself at a young age.

It can be said that Asano Megumi's current personality was born under the influence of Fushimi River.

She couldn't imagine life away from Fushimi River.

During summer vacation, someone brought news of Fushimi River, which revived her previously listless spirit, allowing her to persevere until now.

……

After "Two Shizukas" was published, readers requested that more stories like this be drawn.

What happened if the love line was interrupted? Please continue to show it!

However, things did not go as they had hoped.

The next episode of Doraemon is titled "The Story of Switching Ropes".

Many people are confused because their personality is completely different from the expectations placed on them in reality.

Boys should be outgoing and confident; they can't stay cooped up at home all day.

Girls are required to be quiet and not climb up or down stairs.

In the future, Americans will undergo gender reassignment surgery, but here we have the magical Doraemon.

With a switchable rope, each person holds one end, and their hearts are exchanged.

Shizuka's soul entered Nobita's body.

Using Nobita's identity, she was finally able to climb to the top of the tallest tree on the back mountain without any worries, and saw the view from the top of the tree that she had been curious about for a long time.

She had a panoramic view of the entire town, and the wind blowing on her face made her feel relaxed.

After that, she also played with Suneo's toy race car.

While playing baseball, Shizuka dove to catch a long hit and hit a home run.

Amidst the cheers of her teammates, she enjoyed the boys' happiness.

Don't worry about being dignified; you can put your feet up on the table and whistle.
