Tokyo 1970: I'll draw Doraemon?

His burning body embraced hers, Fushimi's lips pressed together, unable to touch the microscopic structure, but:

"knock".

In his excitement, Fushimi wanted more and accidentally bumped into Fujiwara Maki's teeth.

The two immediately separated. The toothache was secondary; the embarrassment brought them to their senses. It was never convenient to do such a thing in the office.

What if someone finds out?

"Sorry," Fushimikawa said in a muffled voice, covering his mouth.

He used to focus solely on drawing comics and didn't even have a girlfriend in high school, so he'd completely forgotten his past life's passionate kissing experiences.

"Haha." Looking at Fushimikawa, Fujiwara Maki suddenly laughed, then said coquettishly, "Idiot."

"What did you say?" Fushimikawa snapped angrily. "I'll definitely give you a better experience next time."

Without waiting for Fujiwara Maki's reply, he took a few steps and prepared to leave.

“Okay,” Fujiwara Maki said from behind him.

……

A-Chuan left the editor-in-chief's office in a panic, his face flushed. He didn't say goodbye and left in a hurry.

Something must have happened in that room.

Asano Megumi thought.

Instead of chasing after Fushimi River, she took a peek at Fujiwara Maki's face in the office before the door closed.

Her fingers touched her slightly swollen lips, and a thin layer of red spread across her face, extending all the way to her earrings. Her once fair neck was also tinged with crimson.

Her eyelids were half-closed, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she exuded a mixture of panic and barely suppressed excitement.

She was shy and happy, and didn't even notice her own gaze.

Asano Megumi's heart sank; she realized what had happened.

They kissed not just on the cheeks, but on the lips.

Love, though slow, was steadily forming among them.

One is the president of a magazine about a strong woman, and the other is a cartoonist; they make a very good match.

only……

"What about me?" Asano Megumi asked, feeling both anxious and confused.

What should I do?

"Huh?" Fujiwara Maki looked up at the door and walked over. "Why isn't the door closed? Luckily, no one saw it."

……

The August Doraemon episode was still very interesting; it was a story that Fushimikawa himself came up with.

The inspiration came from later online live streaming.

It's unimaginable for ordinary people to be able to appear on television and be seen by so many people these days.

Public opinion is controlled by news magazines and television stations, leaving people unable to voice their opinions.

When Doraemon's favorite confectionery shop was about to go out of business due to a newly opened Western-style dessert shop on the street, and was even mocked by the other party for being "outdated," "rough," "unappetizing," and "should be eliminated," Doraemon, in a fit of anger, took out the All-Area Live Streaming Machine and changed the dessert shop advertisement playing on the TV to a picture of himself eating delicious dorayaki.

This immediately reminded everyone of the old-fashioned pastries that had brought them sweet joy, and they lined up to buy them.

When Nobita learned of the machine's effectiveness, he begged and pleaded for it back. He even showed it off to Gian and Suneo, displaying his messy comics to everyone on the street.

Fat Tiger snatched it away and sang a song. His song reached the ears of people all over the world, bringing unimaginable pain to mankind. When he was about to sing a second song, the three of them were attacked by the residents of the street.

Shizuka, who rushed over with her violin, appeared at the end.

Chapter 96 Akira Toriyama: Visiting My Idol in Tokyo During Summer Vacation

Fushimi River will probably become a legend, right?

Based solely on his prophecy.

It will be 17 years before the World Wide Web is born, let alone live streaming for the general public.

The happiness of people in the future is something many people today cannot imagine.

It's nothing more than eating some dessert and watching comics and anime.

Popular games were just beginning to take shape, and the ability to showcase one's talents on television and become known to a wide audience was something many people had dreamed of.

“It’s still very interesting. It’s a world where ordinary people can also livestream,” Nagano Nori said somewhat dejectedly. “Parasyte is very meticulous. Parasites that parasitize women’s bodies can only survive by parasitizing women again. The difference between genders is drawn in the manga.”

"While working on Parasyte, Oikawa also came up with such an excellent concept as the live streaming machine. That guy is a genius."

He had thought that Doraemon would fall into a cliché.

As a result, Weekly Shonen Sunday's popularity continued to rise, and its circulation never dropped after increasing by 20 copies.

Keizo Inoue launched a massive recruitment drive for new talent, and the previously lifeless "Sunday" magazine was suddenly revitalized.

Worst of all, the long-established magazines Sunday and Future joined forces, giving up many channels and media outlets, leaving Jump powerless to target Future.

He could only be thankful that Future was a youth magazine and did not have a direct conflict with Shueisha.

"But we can't be careless. Fujiwara Maki always follows my example, signing exclusive supply contracts with manga artists and focusing on nurturing new talent. She's ambitious and will eventually lead Miraisha into the shonen manga arena."

In Japan, to achieve success, you have to be a shonen manga artist.

After all, the largest group of comic book readers is teenagers.

The highest circulation of a youth comic magazine is 70, far less than that of a shonen comic magazine with a circulation of over one million.

Mirai-sha's corporate policy is not a small-scale operation like "COM".

If it continues to develop, it might become a formidable rival to Shueisha.

"We need to keep an eye on it."

……

CM Comic Con has reached its third edition and is becoming more and more professional.

Under the organization of Maki Fujiwara and Hideki Kurokawa, the volunteer group even reached more than 200 people.

Some of them are members of the Waseda Manga Club, but most are simply manga enthusiasts.

Many people are willing to do their part to get into the exhibition hall earlier, to contribute to what they love, and to participate in a grand event like CM Comic Con.

"The Japan Manga Convention is at the wrong time for us," Hideki Kurokawa said with a smile, standing next to Fushimikawa.

"why?"

"Because they rejected submissions from many small groups, it sparked widespread condemnation. People felt that their activities were just for promoting the magazine and didn't consider the feelings of manga fans, so..." Hideki Kurokawa spread his hands, "Everyone was consciously boycotting them. But the second year, it looked like nobody was going, and they were going to fail. How could they compete with our CM Comic Convention?"

This incident reminded Hideki Kurokawa of how, two years ago, Fushimikawa prioritized serving non-professional manga creators when organizing the CM convention.

CM Comic Con is a stage for everyone, and Fushimikawa saw it all back then.

"If you hadn't become a manga artist, you would have been the most suitable person to be the president of the manga club."

Fushimikawa is already close to becoming the company president, so he's not interested in this position.

He waved his hand: "Kurokawa-senpai did a great job. There are so many people here today."

……

Outside the stadium, there were dense crowds everywhere.

Mirai-sha has prepared 1,000 spots for readers of "Parasyte".

You can get a signed copy of Parasyte if you purchase a single volume of the manga at the venue.

This number was already quite large, but Akira Toriyama felt a sudden pang of panic as he looked at the many determined competitors.

Will he also fail to get one?

Even though his hotel was near the stadium, he arrived very early and started queuing more than two hours in advance, but he still couldn't get to the front of the line.

The manga fans in Tokyo are so enthusiastic!

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he felt a little regretful; he should have come sooner.

Time passed slowly, and at nine o'clock, the stadium doors finally opened.

Although staff members were shouting through loudspeakers to remind everyone to be careful and enter in an orderly manner.

But the people in the front row still ran and rushed into the venue, as if if they fell behind even a little, they would miss out on getting tickets.

Tokyo has become like a cruel African savanna, where slow-moving creatures are eliminated.

The gazes of those behind him put Akira Toriyama under immense pressure, forcing him to run alongside them toward the entrance.

Is it really necessary?

He was inwardly groaning.

The heat in Tokyo in August was unbearable for him, let alone running under the blazing sun.

But once he entered the venue, the country boy was immediately exposed to the world.

The venue, so vast that it seemed to stretch endlessly, was divided into different areas and housed countless doujinshi (fan-made comics) booths.

He has his favorites, such as Astro Boy, Tom and Jerry, and Doraemon.

The stall owners waved their flags and warmly invited him to come and buy something.

Everyone was enthusiastic and full of love for comics.

This is a paradise for manga enthusiasts, a place you can only find in Tokyo.

The previous annoyance vanished, and Akira Toriyama was filled with joy and anticipation.

But soon...

Damn it, he really wanted to go see it right away, but he couldn't find the time at all. He had to catch up with the group ahead of him as soon as possible, get in line in front of Future Publishing House, and buy a copy of "Parasyte" that he had already bought a long time ago.

Then I went to see my high school senior, Fushimikawa, again.

"Is it an exaggeration to say that I became a fan of Fushimi-senpai back in late March 70?"
