Full-time cartoonist — Chapter 200 Sakura

“They used money to lure me into having plastic surgery and tricked me into experiencing such horrific things. This resentment…”

“Master, I will never forgive you!”

“I want revenge, when your daughter is extremely happy!”

Dongye Xiang suddenly broke into a cold sweat!

“So that’s what it is,” Akimiya Akemi murmured, “He deceived the servant, let the servant undergo plastic surgery to look like him, and then deceived the homeless ghost!”

“What a disgrace this man is.”

“But because of this, he was haunted by another evil spirit!”

The comic still doesn’t end here.

Hibiki Tono turned to the next page.

There is another innocent soul crawling on the ground.

“In order not to be deceived by this villain again, I have to keep an eye on him 24 hours a day!”

The homeless man’s wronged soul has not disappeared, and he keeps a close eye on those who come to confess!

Dongye Xiang was shocked.

Now there are two innocent ghosts haunting him.

But this is not the scariest part of the comic.

The confessor, who had always been shivering and with a trembling voice, now seemed extraordinarily calm.

He pushed open the door into the dazzling light and walked straight out.

Without confessing to the wronged soul, without fear, he just disappeared in front of Kishibe Rohan.

“He did not repent for the sake of repentance, but to satisfy his own psychological needs.” Hibiki Higashi said: “I don’t know what kind of conspiracy he was planning in his heart.”

Compared to the innocent soul, this rich man is more terrifying!

“Hoo~” Akimiya Akemi sighed in Hibiki’s ear.

“It’s full of twists and turns, it’s really exciting.”

At the end of the manga, Kishibe Rohan comments on this man.

“A man who doesn’t give up even if he is possessed by a evil spirit and faces life proactively alone should be considered a villain, but this is worthy of respect.”

Higashino Hibiki smiled helplessly, “Are you summarizing from another angle? You are indeed Mr. Araki.”

“This is simply the dark will of the villain!”

“This short story is so interesting!”

“Teacher Araki’s unique plot of wits is really hard to put down!”

“The comic was tense and exciting, and it caught me off guard!”

“This porter is very handsome! Especially when he lights the flames with his hands and throws the third popcorn!”

The plot of “The Confession Room” keeps reversing, and it is deeply loved by readers and has gained good reputation.

On Friday, Sasaki notified Hibiki Hibiki of the results of “The Confession Room”, and the number of votes in the readers’ survey reached an astonishing 625!

This is simply enough to start a new series!

Among the previous works that participated in the short comic competition, the first place was “Comet Impact” by Nobuhiro Watsuki, with 353 votes.

“Confession Room” has reached a crushing situation!

“In the reader’s comments,” Sasaki said, “I wanted to vote only for Tori Akino-sensei in the reader survey, but Araki-sensei’s short comics are really interesting!”

“There are many such testimonials.”

Dong Ye responded, indicating that he understood.

He himself voted for “The Confession” and felt the same way.

In the face of excellent works, I cannot restrain myself from expressing my feelings.

The time has come on Sunday.

Naoko Takeuchi picked up Jump with anticipation, which was a sample issue sent by the editorial department.

That’s right, Yoshihiro Togashi’s new serialization is about to begin.

The name is “Hunter”.

Since “Level E” ended, while he was eating, drinking, having fun and looking for a girlfriend, he was also thinking about the content of the next comic.

Finally, I turned my attention back to the Hot-Blooded King comics.

“Precious beasts, exotic beasts, treasures, secret treasures, demonic realms, secret realms…the charm exuded by such unknown things fascinates many people, and people call these hunters!”

A work that carries the will of Yoshihiro Togashi, “Hunter” finally appeared on the jump stage.

The ambition of this work has not yet been felt by readers.

“Maybe it’s something similar to “Level E”.”

With this idea in mind, “Hunter” did not cause the sensation that “Level E” did when it was serialized.

“The series of “Hunter” will start next Monday. Do you have any problems here?” Naoko Takeuchi asked with concern.

Togashi Yoshihiro shook his head, “Who do you think I am!”

Because he had to draw “Hunter”, he did not participate in this short comic competition, and was unable to gain the admiration of Naoko Takeuchi.

He put his heart and soul into “Hunter”, so this must be a popular work among readers!

Togashi is convinced of this.

“Oh.” Naoko Takeuchi nodded.

She read comics.

The anticipation in my heart is beyond words.

After watching “The Garden of Words” in 1994, Naoko Takeuchi has been looking forward to Tori Akino’s new short story.

Use a delicate brush to paint the beauty of love.

Being able to care about Yoshihiro Togashi at this time is already a huge sacrifice made by her girlfriend.

The name of Tori Akino Mirai’s new short story is “Five Centimeters per Second”, and there is a subtitle under it, called “Sakura Copy”.

As soon as I saw the title, the style of Tori Akino’s short story came out.

Naoko Takeuchi calmed down and looked in with her big curious eyes.

“Did you know? It is said that the speed is five centimeters per second.”

“Huh? What?”

“The petals of the cherry blossoms fall at a speed of five centimeters per second.”

The previous article is an unknown conversation, but it is the name of the comic.

In the middle of the fight, the girl ran to the other side of the tram just before it was about to come.

The tram isolates the two parties. As the tram disappears, the plot gets on track.

Shinohara Akari moved to Tochigi, and it was half a year before she wrote to contact Takaki Tono.

Because of this, boys and girls communicated again in the form of letters.

In summer and autumn, from Takaki Tono’s perspective, Akari Shinohara shared her life and cared about Takaki Tono, and Naoko Takeuchi felt the young girl’s heart.

“Ah, it’s so beautiful.” Naoko Takeuchi sighed.

During adolescence, the hearts of boys and girls are tested, approached, and uncontrollably moved.

In the manga, the timeline reaches winter, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it’s already snowing in Tochigi.

Takaki Tono is moving to Kagoshima.

“Whenever you want to meet, you can no longer just take a train.”

The bird flew up, above the clouds, and flew into the distance.

Takaki Tono and Akari Shinohara made an agreement.

On March 4th, at 7 o’clock in the evening, we met in the waiting hall of Iwafune Tram Station.

This was their first meeting after a year away.

March 4th arrived, and it was raining heavily. Just after school, Takaki Tono came to the tram stop and took the tram.

The time is 15:54, and snowflakes are falling in the sky.

Takaki Tono could not help but recall the past between him and Akari Shinohara.

He and Shinohara Akari share the same mind. Because they are both thin and prone to illness, the two of them like to read in the library.

You can talk about the content in the book every day, such as the strange creatures in the Cambrian.

Takaki Tono and Akari Shinohara are always together.

Because of this, he was teased by his classmates.

But as long as they don’t leave each other, they are tenacious enough and inexplicably not afraid of this.

Takaki Tono thought that in the years to come, they would go to junior high school together and never be separated.

Arriving at Shinjuku Station, Takaki Tono began to transfer.

Although it was his first time at Shinjuku Station, he didn’t panic.

The heartbeat is so strong, it’s the deer bumping around, it’s the anticipation.

When he changed to the express train again, he recalled the story of Akari moving and changing schools, and that she had to go to a public school in Tochigi for junior high school.

Tono Takaki was in pain inside, but he could also feel Akari’s pain.

He could only hug his knees unwillingly and huddle together.

“There are a lot of narrations,” Naoko Takeuchi lamented, “it feels like a shojo manga.”

Use narration to bring readers’ emotions into the work.

The narration in “Five Centimeters per Second” is also very precise, and Naoko Takeuchi can feel all Takaki Tono’s moods.

In elementary school, the two of us were very happy together and were not afraid of anything.

Akari moved in the second half of the sixth grade of elementary school, and they were separated, which was very painful for both parties.

Half a year after the cure, under Akari’s initiative, the two parties began to communicate.

But it won’t be long before Takaki Tono will move to Kagoshima.

Under the pressure of being apart, a year later, the two finally said goodbye.

Tono Takaki began to look forward to it.

Naoko Takeuchi could clearly see the mood of the two people and felt the same.

The time came to 5:10 pm, and the express train was delayed for 10 minutes.

After Takaki Tono got on the bus, the number of buildings decreased and the sky was filled with white snow.

After that, the car stopped at the next stop, and all the passengers got off. Takaki Tono stood at the door, looking at his watch blankly, until the passengers beside him couldn’t bear the cold and closed the door.

Because the next express train was late, the express train Takaki Tono took kept stopping at the station.

The time has reached the agreed 7 o’clock in the evening, and there are still several stops to go in the snowy weather.

“The unprecedented snowy scenery outside the window and the slowly passing time, coupled with the dull pain in my empty stomach, only added to my uneasiness.”

Tono Takaki felt anxious.

At the next station where he needed to transfer, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. The station was empty, only lonely and cold.

“Is it the same on Akari’s side?” Naoko Takeuchi thought.

The time has come to 19:40, and he still has to wait at the station.

Being hungry and cold, I wanted to buy a hot drink, so I put it in my pocket and accidentally took out the letter I wanted to tell Mingmei. Soon the letter was swept away by the strong wind and disappeared.

“Long-distance relationships are really hard.”

Naoko Takeuchi felt sad when she saw Takaki crying aggrievedly in the manga.

At this moment, a burst of light flashed, which was the light of the approaching express train.

The time was 20:54 minutes, because the blizzard disrupted the schedule and the express train temporarily stopped.

In the empty carriage, Takaki Tono was wrapped in a windbreaker, his head lowered in loneliness.

In this way, two hours passed.

He gritted his teeth, trying not to cry.

“Angri, it would be nice if you had gone home…”

“Phew,” the comic has reached forty pages.

Naoko Takeuchi looked up from the comics, feeling depressed for a while and she needed to relax.

It was not what she thought at all. The story of the lovers gradually falling in love in “The Garden of Words” had a bitter taste.

“I feel bad.”

She had a premonition.

It was at this point that she detached herself from the story and discovered the difference in this work.

“Tori Akino’s style seems to have changed, but it doesn’t seem to have changed.”

Familiar yet a little strange.

His painting skills are very strong. Whether it is the cherry blossoms flying in spring or the tram in the snowstorm in winter, they are all painted exquisitely and with a real sense of beauty.

But it doesn’t have the style of Tori Akino before, the free and easy style of a young manga author.

Out of curiosity, Naoko Takeuchi turned to the cover.

“Plot: Tori Akino Mirai.”

“Painting: Akemi Akimiya.”

“Eh?” Naoko Takeuchi was stunned, “It turns out there was someone else who painted the painting.”

“I didn’t know there were amateurs who were such good painters.”

She had never heard of the name.

“It’s a female cartoonist, no wonder.”

This pleased her even more.

Akimiya Akemi’s painting style is more suitable for “5 Centimeters per Second”, with a eloquent and gentle feeling.

After calming down for a while, Naoko Takeuchi continued to watch.

It was about six hours delayed from the agreed time.

When Takaki Tono arrived, it was already 12 o’clock in the evening.

After getting off the tram, he walked quickly and quickly reached the bus shelter.

“This series of expressions is so well drawn.”

Naoko Takeuchi turned around and saw Yoshihiro Togashi speaking.

“It was frustrating at first.”

“Then my pupils trembled greatly and my mouth opened slightly, in disbelief.”

“Then he let out a breath, closed his eyes tightly, and sunk his mouth into the scarf. It could be seen that he was trying not to cry.”

“Frustration, disbelief, surprise, the emotions are expressed very well.”

“Toriakino-kun has made progress again. His writing style is no longer like that of a young cartoonist. He has touched another field.”

Takeuchi Naoko rolled her eyes at him. She was immersed in the plot and couldn’t extricate herself, and then she was affected by Togashi Yoshihiro.

After hurriedly pushing Togashi away with a wave of his hand, Naoko Takeuchi continued to watch while she was still in the mood.

After a long journey, hardships and dangers, Takaki Tono finally saw Akari again.

She sat by the fire, head bowed, motionless.

Takaki Tono went up to say hello, and the girl showed an expression of disbelief.

Then he pinched the corner of Guishu’s windbreaker and sobbed softly, tears falling down.

“Huh, there is no need for a strong goodbye moment, just a relaxed narrative is enough.” Naoko Takeuchi breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them drank tea brought by Akari and ate lunch.

Here, she finally relaxed.

The plot, which has been improving, is slowly coming to fruition.

“That’s great.”

The comic is not over yet.

Of the fifty pages, there are the last five.

Naoko Takeuchi stood up and looked at the cherry blossoms outside the window.

The cherry blossoms are still there, dancing in the wind, everywhere.

But in the manga, Guishu and Akari came to a cherry blossom tree, which was just a bare branch in winter.

In the darkness, there was only light reflected in the snow.

“Spring hasn’t arrived yet,” Naoko Takeuchi thought.

These two people need to stay away.

Even if they meet, they will eventually be further apart.

In Kagoshima, it would not be as easy to see each other again as it is now.

So what happens in the end?

Is it a tragedy or a comedy?

Thanks to Mr. Fusu iu for the coin reward
