Full-time cartoonist

The scene in Tori Akino's Mirai studio is more interesting than Ken Miyano imagined.

He saw a lot of novel things. It was only by using these tools that cartoonists created comics that fascinated readers.

The scene I imagined of Mr. Tori Akino coughing and drawing comics late at night turned out to be wrong. A work was completed with the help of many people.

"Aken, welcome to my home." Akimiya Akemi waved her hand and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Auntie Higashino." Ken Miyano bowed politely.

"Auntie... I'm the same age too." Akimiya Akemi sighed.

"I am Xiaohe, Teacher Tori Akino's assistant," Xiaohe introduced himself.

"Hello, Mr. Xiaohe, thank you for your hard work that we can see the comics." Ken Miyano bowed again.

"This kid is really sensible." Xiaohe nodded.

Higashino Hibiki smiled as he listened to the goings on in the studio.

He took out a bottle of Bozi soda from the kitchen and walked into the studio.

"You drink it," Higashino Hibiki handed it to Ken Miyano, pointing at his throat, "You screamed so loud just now, your throat must be sore, right?"

Ken Miyano was overjoyed, holding the bottle as if in a dream.

"Thank you, Tori Akino-sensei."

"No need to say thank you," Higashino Hibiki waved his hand, "I don't know how many thank yous I've received since you walked in?"

"1 sound, 2 sounds, 3 sounds..." Ken Miyano put down the soda and counted on his fingers.

"I didn't ask you to count this..." Higashikata felt dumbfounded.

"Eh?" Ken Miyano looked at him blankly, "That's it?"

"Xiao Jian," Higashino Hibiki asked, "Is there anything you want to play or say? Don't be too formal."

"I..." Ken Miyano took a deep breath, "Teacher, do you really want to draw a magical girl manga?"

Xiaohe glanced sideways and glanced at Higashikata Hibiki worriedly.

…

"Puella Magi Madoka Magica" is a 2011 work. Since its broadcast, it has been praised by many as the most successful and highest-level original animation in 20 years.

In fact, Madoka has also won the most animation awards in Japan.

In particular, it has won all three major awards: the Tokyo Animation Award, the Japan Agency for Cultural Affairs Media Arts Festival Grand Prize, and the Kobe Animation Award. It is unique and unmatched.

In terms of income, 30 months after Madoka was broadcast, it generated 40 billion yen in revenue, forming a Madoka economic circle.

The last economic circle Higashino Hibiki knew was the Panda Economic Circle.

This shows the status of Madoka Magica.

This is a well-received and well-received animated film that is both artistic and interesting. The one that can rival it in the field of Japanese films is "Spirited Away".

Therefore, this comic is so exciting that it is not inferior to "Death Note" at all, or even better.

It’s just that most readers subconsciously refuse to accept magical girls as soon as they hear it.

The admirer who was so excited just now had a hard-to-speak expression, which made Xiaohe worried that Teacher Toriakino would be heartbroken.

Higashino Hibiki was taken aback and replied with a smile: "Of course, please look forward to my work."

"Teacher..." Ken Miyano hesitated again and again, "Can I not draw this?"

As soon as he said these words, he breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became nervous, shrinking his head, afraid of seeing Hibiki Hibiki looking sad and disappointed.

"Hey~ of course not, please don't interfere with my decision." Hibiki responded nonchalantly.

Xiaohe put his heart in his stomach.

"Sorry!" Ken Miyano apologized immediately.

"It's okay, but you have to trust me."

"I..." Ken Miyano made up his mind and nodded, "I know!"

…

Afterwards, Ken Miyano happily returned home with his autograph and the figurine toys given by Hibiki Higashino.

When school started in April, he arrived at school wearing his uniform.

"Ajian, you are dressed very thickly today. It's so cold that you are so afraid of the cold even in spring."

A classmate patted his shoulder and said with a hint of contempt.

"You don't know that, huh." Ken Miyano looked around and saw that no one else was there. He lifted up his upper body clothes and said, "Look!"

Under his school uniform, he was also wearing a vest from Mizuno.

This is nothing, the most important thing is that this dress is a basketball uniform, with the number 10 embroidered on the front, and the two-headed portrait of Sakuragi Hanamichi on the chest.

"Oh! It's the peripherals of "Slam Dunk"," the classmate's eyes widened. "It's Sakuragi Hanamichi's jersey number, of which only 55 were released out of a thousand. This is too precious!"

"This Slam Dunk and Mizuno co-branded clothing was obviously sold out when it was first sold. Where did you buy it, Jian!"

"This piece of mine was given to me by someone else, haha." Miyano Ken supported his waist and laughed heartily.

Mizuno once gave Hibiki some peripheral clothes in different sizes. They considered that Hibiki would have a need to give them to relatives and friends.

There was no child wearing this number of clothes around Hibiki Higashino, so he finally accumulated some and gave them to Takeru Miyano.

"That's great!" The classmate touched Miyano Ken's chest with his hand, his eyes flickering as if he were stroking some treasure, "I want it so much!"

"Only I have it!" Ken Miyano raised his head, his vanity satisfied.

He originally wanted Death Note peripheral clothes, but Hibiki Higashino refused.

It is not good for children to wear clothes with the Grim Reaper on them.

Ken Miyano was still a little disappointed at that time, but now in the envious eyes of his friends, he can only be filled with happiness.

"Ha ha ha ha."

…

Tori Akino will be his neighbor in the future. This is the most surprising thing for Takeru Miyano since he was sensible.

The Miyano couple discovered that their son always ran to the neighbor's house.

"Maybe it's because of Paprika." Mr. Miyano said.

He once asked Miyano Ken to read "Paprika" because he wanted this artistic-level comic to cultivate children's sentiments.

Now it seems that my son has read it carefully, which is why he admires Tori Akino Mirai so much.

"Yeah, but it's not good to disturb others all the time." Mrs. Miyano said, "I'll go over there."

She arrived at Hibiki Hibiki's house, brought some small gifts, and after a few words, she slipped Kenti Miyano home.

In the following days, Tori Akino Mirai Studio was not harassed by Ken Miyano again.

Higashikata and the others relaxed.

A fanatic fan always interferes with the creation, which is really troubling.

The time soon came to April 9th, and Koji Yoshida came to pick up the original manuscript of the first episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" and a color drawing for the cover.

"Editor Yoshida." Xiaohe nodded in greeting.

"Hello, Mr. Xiaohe." Yoshida waved his hand.

Recently, he has been very successful. Among the works he participated in the "Golden Future Cup", "The Exorcist Boy" and "Desperate Diary", which he was responsible for, achieved the best results.

The highly anticipated "Tutor" and "Gintama" turned out to have mediocre results, and could be cut in half if they were even slightly off.

On weekdays, his colleagues are envious of him for taking charge of Bird Qiuye, saying that it would be possible for any other dog to have such achievements.

Now they were speechless.

Aida Soichi and Onishi Tsunehei were all defeated, but I, Yoshida Koji, am invincible.

But when he arrived at Tori Akino's studio today, his excitement turned into loneliness.

There are not many days left before Tori Akino closes the book.

In the last moments, he was still reluctant to part with him.

Whether I cry secretly at night is unknown to outsiders.

"Please let me see the manuscript."

Yoshida started to check, and as soon as he turned to the first page, he was stunned.

"The painting is so good!"

The world only in black and white shows a mysterious color.

In the absurd world, against the dark background, there is a huge gravitational source in the sky. It is a vague, monster-like thing without a complete picture. Behind it, there are two magic arrays flashing.

Buildings, tree stumps, and cars floating in the sky. This bizarre scene that would never happen made Yoshida feel depressed and panicked.

This painting is like a work of art.

Omori's painting skills are also very good, but compared to Tori Akino, he is much inferior.

There are also compositional factors here.

Designing the paintings artistically is a test of the cartoonist's ability.

Tori Akino is top notch in this aspect.

The past films "Garden of Words" and "Five Centimeters Per Second" have shown this aspect.

It's just that the popularity of short-form comics is not high, and now it is reflected in the medium-length comic "Puella Magi Madoka Magica".

"What a pity." Yoshida couldn't help but think, "To use such top-notch graphics on a magical girl..."

"What's wrong?" Higashino saw Yoshida in a daze and couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong?"

"No, I was just shocked by the teacher's paintings." Yoshida said frankly.

"Haha, then keep watching."

The previous content is a dream of Shikameoka.

In the dream, in an apocalyptic scene, she saw a girl fighting in despair, with no chance of winning but still facing it bravely.

Madoka Shikama has a cute pet by her side. Let her sign a contract with him and become a magical girl, which can change everything.

Shikama Madoka nodded and wanted to agree, then woke up.

"What a pity," Yoshida said. "Teacher could have painted more battle scenes here."

Hibiki Higashino has never drawn a battle manga. As a disciple of Akira Toriyama, it is a pity that he could not use the battle storyboards he learned from Akira Toriyama.

Readers have also been looking forward to seeing the battle scenes written by Tori Akino in the future.

Judging from "Slam Dunk", Toriyama Mirai's sports shots are not inferior to others, so the combat is definitely not bad either.

Only it hasn’t appeared yet.

If Toriyama's battle storyboard is used as a gimmick, it will definitely attract many readers to watch it.

"The more battle scenes you draw, the rhythm will change." Hibiki Higashi spread his hands, "There will be some in the future anyway, so don't add superfluous things."

"Yes, teacher, you are right."

Yoshida stopped talking and carefully checked the manuscript. After finding that there were no problems, he said: "I did receive the manuscript for the first episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica"."

…

"Tori Akino-sensei's new work will be published soon."

In the classroom, some people are chatting.

"I heard it's a comic about magical girls. It's not interesting at all. I don't want to read it. It's only for little girls."

"What, what's wrong with girls reading comics!" the female monitor angrily retorted. She also reads "One Piece", but now she is despised by her former fans.

"I won't watch that kind of naive work."

"Uh-huh."

"Add me one."

All the grown-up boys seriously stated that they would not watch "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", even if it is a work by Tori Akino Mirai.

They grown men don't even bother reading cartoons about girls.

"What!" the monitor was furious, "What a boring boy!"

She was angry.

Come Monday.

She went to the supermarket near the school and saw the latest issue of Jump.

"so cute."

This issue of Jump has four girls on the cover, each with their own distinctive hair colors: pink, yellow, blue, and black.

The clothes they wear are all dresses with matching colors, and they look like magical girls at first glance.

The characters' expressions vary.

Some are smiling cheerfully, some are gentle, some are pouting calmly, and some are looking like idiots.

Judging from the cover, the images and characters of these four magical girls are vividly displayed on the page.

"As expected of Mr. Tori Akino, he captures the details very well."

The monitor praised.

The unique round face is also very cute, and it's hard to be disgusted by the chubby face.

"It's a work suitable for children," the monitor concluded.

Because no matter how you look at it, she is an orthodox magical girl, and her style of painting is much better than other magical girls.

Like Cardcaptor Sakura, it has the beauty of a dimensionally reduced attack.

"Let me see."

She went to the corner and looked through it.

…

From the beginning of the first episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", apart from Madoka Shikama's dream, there are all heartwarming little stories.

Family, friends, teachers...

Madoka lives in an ordinary and happy environment.

When a transfer student shows up, everything changes.

The transfer student's name is Xiaomi Homura, and he is the child that Madoka fought in her dream.

Xiao Meiyan asked Madoka to call her by her first name, which sounded cold and cordial at first.

"Homura, Homura, what a cute name." The monitor thought.

Xiao Meiyan is obviously a transfer student but is very familiar with the campus. She warns Madoka that she should maintain the status quo and not change herself.

Afterwards, Madoka and her friend Sayaka met Kyubey, a cute creature who was being chased by Akatsuki Homura. At the same time, after a gorgeous background change, they entered another world and were finally saved by the blonde senior schoolmate.

The first episode is the story of an ordinary female junior high school student, Madoka Shikama, who begins to come into contact with the world of magical girls.

"It's very interesting," the monitor watched intently, "much better than most magical girl comics. Especially here..."

Butterflies, isolation nets, and other streams of consciousness embody another space where artistic expression runs deep.

In particular, the use of Colachi's art form is very rare in the field of comics.

For a little girl, the story is heartwarming, has foreshadowing, and has gorgeous pictures, which is enough for her to love.

"It's a pity that boys don't watch."

The squad leader closed the jump and walked out of the corner, and then saw a few people.

"Xiong Er, Akijiu, Hideyoshi... what are you looking at here?" Her brows twitched.

Those tough-talking boys were squatting on the ground watching "Puella Magi Madoka Magica".
