Tokyo 1970: I'll draw Doraemon?

He himself will achieve great success in his future career, while Fushimikawa will fail in his entrepreneurial venture and become homeless.

The scene of her keeping him as her sugar daddy.

"Hahaha."

She smiled like a fairy.

Higashino Yuka shrank to the side, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

……

On Monday, on his way to Waseda University, Fushimikawa was somewhat troubled.

Why do we need to hold hands?

Although Asano Megumi's hands were cool and smooth, and felt very comfortable to touch, it made Fushimikawa feel a little awkward.

"What's wrong with friends holding hands?" Asano Megumi said matter-of-factly. "When we were little, we even took a bath together."

“You broke in here yourself!” Fushimikawa immediately retorted, “and I ran away right away.”

He's a transmigrator who's had an adult mindset since childhood; his reputation can't be reduced to that of some Yan Emperor.

"Sigh, whatever," he sighed, "between good brothers, there's no problem holding hands, let's leave it at that."

Asano Megumi raised her V-sign with a blank expression, but her heart was surging with emotion as she thanked that relationship coach.

Hugging, holding hands, she did the sweet interactions that lovers had wanted to do for a long time.

I was so moved I almost cried.

They only let go of each other in front of Asano Megumi's classroom when they arrived at school.

During this period, nothing went wrong.

After all, it's so common for boys and girls to hold hands in college. Unless they are handsome men and beautiful women who are pleasing to the eye and take a second look, no one will pay attention to them.

"See you at the Anime Club then."

Fushimikawa waved to her.

Osamu Tezuka said that the sales channels for this issue of "COM" have been set up.

Waseda University, being a well-known private university in Tokyo, should already have "COM" available to watch.

Fushimikawa wanted to hear feedback from the members of the manga club.

……

Japanese manga is nothing short of a miracle. It has led to an unprecedented boom in Japanese entertainment products, making them bestsellers worldwide and turning them into a national symbol.

This is all thanks to the fact that someone always steps up at crucial moments.

When Japan was economically impoverished after the war and desperately needed affordable spiritual nourishment, Osamu Tezuka appeared. He incorporated film storyboards into his manga, laying a solid foundation for Japanese manga.

When people grew tired of Tezuka's fairy tales, authors like Yoshihiro Tatsumi and Takao Saito challenged Tezuka's style. Their theatrical art wave allowed adults to appreciate its charm.

In the 1960s, the Japanese women's volleyball team, known as the "Oriental Witches," won 118 consecutive matches in international competitions and won six world championships, boosting the morale of all Japanese people.

Thus, the Japanese women's volleyball team's culture of rigorous, militarized training appeared in sports comics.

Failures, life-threatening special training, and a final, triumphant victory over the enemy! A tale of passion and hard work that will captivate readers.

It always brings a sense of freshness, ensuring that comics never decline and are passed down from generation to generation, thus creating the legend of Japanese comics.

On this day in 1971, Fushimikawa appeared with a new style.

The results exceeded everyone's expectations, including Fushimikawa's own.

As soon as he stepped into the manga club, he heard an explosive cheer.

"That's incredible, Brother Chuan!"

"Your drawing is amazing! I was so moved! This is the kind of comic we young people should be reading!"

"It doesn't have any pretentious, artsy feel, it's not childish like cartoons, and it doesn't have any affected profundity like theatrical animation. 'Confessions' was so enjoyable to watch!"

"As expected of you!"

The applause and eager praises were deafening, leaving Fushimikawa completely stunned.

The reaction was overly enthusiastic.

"What's wrong with your brain?" Hideki Kurokawa stepped forward, punched Fushimi Kawa in the chest, and said with obvious jealousy, "You were able to draw 'Confessions'."

“Just do your best,” Fushimikawa answered instinctively. “Like an onion, if you observe carefully and attentively, you can see its cell walls with the naked eye. As long as you do your best, you can achieve anything.”

"Huh? Is that really true?" Hideki Kurokawa believed it, and he was full of energy. "I'll go to the supermarket right now to buy an onion, peel it open, and take a closer look!"

Chapter 51 She seems to like me?

Hideki Kurokawa hurriedly ran off, and when he was stopped by Maki Fujiwara, who had rushed to the manga club, he only said that he was going to observe the cell walls of onions.

This puzzled Fujiwara Maki. Kurokawa Hideki wasn't a biology major, so why was he suddenly observing cell walls at his junior year?

"It's really weird."

……

The Comic Club bought five copies of "COM" and dozens of people took turns reading them.

Everyone was in high spirits and didn't want to miss a single one.

Some even gathered in groups of three or five, discussing the footage while praising it repeatedly.

"It's so beautifully drawn! Is this a comic? It's practically a work of art."

"I will also use the Oikawa style in my future comics, and maybe I can use it at the CM exhibition."

"It feels very difficult to learn; the lines are too complicated."

Liang watched very attentively, and would occasionally take out his notebook to draw along with the pictures.

The female lead's head-to-body ratio, facial features, the contrast between light and shadow, the interplay of focus and blur... there are details everywhere, and there's so much to learn. But he wasn't discouraged.

Upon seeing "Confessions," he didn't pay attention to the plot; he only looked at the art style and felt that his opportunity had arrived.

"If I could draw such scenes, I could definitely make it a serial."

Sometimes, a person's success has nothing to do with ability, but with opportunity.

Oikawa's realistic style has the potential to become a huge hit. If others haven't yet grasped this style and can promptly provide the content that readers want to see, then serialization is possible.

If you can't be the first to try something new, you can be the second.

Moreover, Liang's comic content is well-suited to being expressed in a realistic style.

One plus one is greater than two.

"Fushimi-kun!"

"Teacher Oikawa!"

"How did you draw this? Please teach me."

Awakened by the noise, Ryo frowned and looked up, only to find Fushimikawa surrounded by a group of people.

With a smile on his face, he explained his ideas to the eager members of the manga club.

"The background is very important in realistic paintings; it needs to look lifelike. But you can't just paint the whole thing in; focusing too much on details will only make the background look bad. You need to pay attention to the combination of realism and abstraction to highlight the key elements..."

Liang quickly squeezed through and wrote down Fushimikawa's explanations one by one.

"Perspective and human anatomy must be precise, so this style of art has a high barrier to entry, and it has not yet been validated by the market. Please do not make a decision impulsively."

Finally, he gave a summary.

The enthusiasm of the members was something Fushimikawa hadn't expected.

He assumed that people would admire his work as before, instead of seeking his advice so earnestly.

It's as if they could immediately draw realistic comics.

This is completely different from when he was serializing "Doraemon".

They didn't notice the plot that Fushimikawa was quite pleased with.

Fushimikawa put a lot of thought into "Confessions." This film, which he had seen before, had a very impressive storyboard and rhythm, representing the atmosphere that the director wanted to convey to the audience.

It is oppressive, eerie, and possesses a dizzying beauty.

Human nature and the psychology of the characters are both reflected in the storyboard.

Unfortunately, nobody appreciates it.

Fushimikawa felt somewhat disappointed.

"Aren't you hiding anything at all?"

Someone asked.

“I only talked about part of the specific painting details,” Fushimikawa said, looking at her. “To explain the content thoroughly would take at least two hours. President Fujiwara, you can tell everyone that I will come again tomorrow when I have time.”

Fujiwara Maki should have been overjoyed. The members of the manga club had learned something truly valuable, and they would work for her magazine in the future, producing fresh and innovative works that would surely make the magazine a huge success.

but……

"Then what will you do?" she asked, frowning. "If everyone follows suit, you won't have the first-mover advantage."

“If they don’t learn it, others will,” Fushimikawa said with a smile, “and I’m never afraid of challenges. What I should worry about is whether those who follow the trend can produce a manga that is no less than ‘Confessions’.”

Entertainment products are always copied from each other.

If a comic book becomes popular in a magazine, many people will try to imitate it, and soon similar works will emerge one after another.

To maintain popularity, one must have genuine talent and skills, not just rely on luck.

Moreover...

"If everyone adopts a realistic style, we can cultivate more readers, expand the market, and ultimately benefit me. Why wouldn't I do it?"

With his hands outstretched, Fushimi Kawa spoke confidently.

He never worries about whether his comics are good or not, but only about whether they are too ahead of their time and therefore have an insufficient audience.

Fujiwara Maki stared intently, her eyes shimmering, captivated by the confidence emanating from Fushimikawa: "You..."
