Tokyo 1970: I'll draw Doraemon?

Unfortunately, this is something that can only be experienced in dreams.

……

Feeling lightness in his body, Nobita, the child who possesses the soul of the future Nobita, couldn't help but wave his arms.

45 years later, he is still unreliable and plays baseball terribly.

But he was very happy, and his smile never faded.

Even though he got beaten up by Gian and Suneo for losing the game, he was still happy, and his tone was full of nostalgia.

The happy day passed by, and dusk arrived.

He returned home, only to be scolded by his mother for failing to deliver the message.

Looking at his young mother and listening to her eloquent and rambling words, Nobita in the future wiped away the tears that were about to fall.

By the time of his birth, Tamako must have been very old.

Her mobility is limited, which is worrying.

I've long since become a person, supporting my family and growing up.

Reliving his past experiences and being taught by his mother like a child, Nobita will naturally be moved in the future.

These are his beautiful memories from a very, very long time ago.

Chapter 58 Jichuan's achievements are higher than the heavens.

When you grow up, have children, and raise them, will you ever think of your parents? Will you remember the years when they lovingly cared for you?

Because his son, Nobita, was on his honeymoon, Nobita finally fulfilled his responsibility, so he traveled back in time to visit his parents.

Enjoy the carefree past.

After spending time with his mother, he went to the bathroom and helped his father scrub his back.

'My dad's back is so broad!'

He lowered his head in silence.

The future father may become thin and stooped due to the wear and tear of time, the one who once carried the entire family on his back.

He was saddened by the difference.

It is precisely for his own sake that Xiong's father works so hard.

However, I never paid attention to this in the past.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on, and the child wants to support but the kiss does not wait.

These regrets can only be kept in one's heart.

During dinner, he ate his mother's cooking again, and he was so moved that he burst into tears.

……

In the future, Nobita will also pave the way for his family, just like his parents.

Facing his confused past self, he shared his insights on life.

"You will face many setbacks in the future, and sometimes you will even encounter pain that is almost impossible to recover from."

"But you can get up every time, no matter how many times."

"Without realizing it, you develop the resilience to stand up from difficulties."

"It's a power that's stronger than before, and then you become stronger, and life gets better and better."

For the sake of my family, I had to face difficulties, and I also underwent a transformation.

So there's no need to worry about your future self.

With a sense of responsibility, one will eventually be able to handle things with ease.

Hearing these words, Nobita showed an unusual maturity.

Of course, Doraemon is an episodic series, and the growth in one story cannot be continued.

But the insights the story brings to the reader are undeniable.

Cherish the present, accept your imperfections, face life bravely, and improve your personal abilities.

"45 Years Later" is a very good comic and has received a lot of praise.

"This is a very simple story, with a direct narrative. There is no deliberate attempt to be sentimental; it only uses detailed descriptions, such as Nobita gazing at his father's back while scrubbing himself in the bath, and his emotional reaction when eating home-cooked meals. It is restrained yet deeply moving."

"The film '45 Years Later' beautifully captures the essence of being blind to beauty and only realizing its value after it's lost. It also offers insightful reflections on life, emphasizing the importance of accepting one's ordinariness and having the courage to continuously grow."

"This is what comics for teenagers should be: bringing joy and touching young people."

"As expected of Weekly Shonen Sunday, it's much better than Weekly Shonen Jump. It still remembers its mission of edutainment."

Seeing these comments, Shizuo Watanabe was very happy.

The popularity and sales of "Sunday" have steadily increased due to the emergence of "Doraemon," which is a good sign.

He turned the tide, stabilizing Weekly Shonen Sunday with a steady approach, and it's finally starting to recover.

These are all his achievements.

It's inevitable that I'll be promoted to Shogakukan's management team and become a managing director in the future.

Oikawa's achievements are greater than the heavens; no amount of praise is too much for him.

Watanabe Shizuo then had the idea of ​​showing weakness and visiting him. How difficult could it be to say "I'm sorry"?

Editing that tries to outdo the cartoonist is unacceptable.

However, Yamashita said, "It's only because of our 'Sunday' magazine that we can provide a platform for Oikawa to showcase his talents. Editor-in-chief, look at him, he went to 'COM' and got bad reviews, didn't he? The relationship between the two should be that we are the main ones and he is the secondary ones. We can't get the relationship wrong."

Watanabe Shizuo was persuaded by him and did not set off.

He then changed the subject to something else.

How are your preparations going for the Japan Manga Convention?

"Oyamada-sensei, Nakajo-sensei, Yokoyama-sensei, and others have all said they will participate," Yamashita said proudly. "With professional manga artists participating, holding seminars, sharing their creations, and setting up fan voting and award ceremonies, it's sure to attract many fans to attend."

"That's good." Watanabe Shizuo nodded. "CM Comic Con is a good idea. It can attract a lot of new talent. Oikawa Ni and that...that person...were both discovered by Takei at CM Comic Con. You should seize this opportunity and sign promising newcomers."

"Yes, I won't let the editor-in-chief down," Yamashita said obsequiously.

……

In the Waseda Comic Club, the core group began discussing the Comic Con.

"Fushimi-kun said that a lot of manga artists will be coming that day. What should we do?"

Looking at her capable subordinates, Fujiwara Maki asked.

“Providing special access for those teachers is a must,” Utsunomiya said immediately. “As for any visitor interaction, I think we should skip it. Just treat them as ordinary visitors.”

"Why? With these teachers' reputations, they're sure to bring us a lot of popularity," Fujiwara Maki said.

Utsunomiya did not answer, her gaze fixed on Fujiwara Maki.

He had this "I'm not kidding" look on his face.

“Alright, alright,” Fujiwara Maki raised her hands, beaming. “You can’t hide it from me. The arrival of manga artists will inevitably attract the attention of many tourists, which will diminish the experience for doujinshi vendors.”

"If their work doesn't sell, they won't participate in Comic Strip anymore. If things continue like this, what's the difference between Comic Strip and a regular manga artist forum?"

"From the very beginning, the foundation of Comic Con has been the doujinshi creators. It is because of them that Comic Con exists."

"Our mission is to provide them with a platform to showcase their talents. Focusing solely on cartoonists would deviate from our original intention."

The success of CM Comic Con stems from the hard work and dedication of comic book enthusiasts in creating their works.

Break the commercial monopoly and provide a platform for amateur creators. This will attract more followers.

This is a very clear logic for success.

"Then let's continue with the successful experience from last year."

Maki Fujiwara concluded the meeting.

Afterwards, she stayed alone in the conference room for a long time.

"Now that I've gotten to know these creators, shouldn't I start my own magazine?"

"But before that, I have to do the most important thing, which concerns the success or failure of the magazine."

"That is, to invite Mr. Oikawa. Only he can make the magazine famous immediately."

"But how could my humble magazine possibly compare to Sunday?"

"Shouldn't we have to give something in return?" Her face was full of conflict.

"Even though it's difficult, I have to do it. Whatever it is, I can accept it."

With this mindset, she left the manga club and began preparing for the future.

Chapter 59 The Second Comic Con

"After a year, Comic Con is finally going to start again. This time I'm going to bring enough money to shop to my heart's content."

"Going to Comic Con? It's all just comics by unknown amateur artists. Why not go to the Japan Manga Convention? There are lots of famous manga artists there, it'll be so much more fun."

"But Oikawa-sensei will be at CM Comic Con."

"That's troublesome."

Inside Ochanomizu University, Yuka Higashino listened to the conversations between the students passing by without feeling bothered.

She's definitely going to CM Comic Con.

Last year, a copy of "Trying to Say Goodbye" cost 140 yuan, but now it can sell for several times that price, and people everywhere are scrambling to buy it, even though she's reluctant to part with it.

However, Oikawa's manga this year will definitely become a rare and highly sought-after item.

Even if it's an investment, you still have to go and take a look.

"Miyuki, are you going to Comic Con?" After finding a friend, she sent an invitation.
