Full-time cartoonist

on Monday.

Higashikata looked at the newspaper.

"The Yomiuri Shimbun", Japan's largest newspaper with the largest circulation and daily sales of more than 10 million, has a whole page, which is quite large, all about the "Tourning Exhibition of Akira Toriyama's Works".

According to reports, the number of people on Sunday exceeded 80,000.

It was so terrifying that Higashikata couldn't believe it.

Once again, I saw Akira Toriyama’s unimaginable influence.

The newspaper hired many art critics and painters.

"The person who best symbolizes the current state of Japanese comics."

"His works have influenced the daily lives of people in contemporary Japan."

"The characteristic of this exhibition lies in the comprehensive presentation of Akira Toriyama's works, allowing us to observe the growth and changes of the characters in Akira Toriyama's works."

It looks very powerful.

Akira Toriyama-sensei is a painter who broke the barriers between comics and art.

"He can take his place." Higashikata thought to himself while being happy for Toriyama Akira.

…

"Ah, Fuyume, I'm no longer serializing. I don't need you to send me jump magazines." Toriyama Akira looked at the editor who was smiling happily in front of him, feeling a little troubled.

He is someone who doesn't know how to respond when others treat him well.

"Toriyama-sensei is still Jump's contracted cartoonist," Takeda said.

"Yes." Toriyama Akira nodded.

Even after finishing "Dragon Ball", he will still receive Jump's annual contract payment.

After all, I have worked for this magazine for many years, and I can’t let go of it emotionally.

"This is the penultimate episode of Dragon Ball."

"Um."

"Let me take a look."

He picked up the magazine with mixed emotions.

The one on the cover was Himura Kenshin, and he thought it would be Fujiwara Sawei.

"Obviously the results of "Chess Soul" have been good recently?" He was a little surprised. "It hasn't had a front page for a long time."

"Well..." Takeda didn't know how to answer the question.

Akira Toriyama turned to the third comic and became curious about the content that Hibiya Hibiki said could win first place.

"What is the "Soul of Chess" in this painting?"

…

Shindo Hikaru vs Taya Ryo.

The big hands were closed. Such a game reminded Toriyama of the game at Neptune Junior High School.

Taiya Ryo pursued the figure of Fujiwara Sawei and paid a heavy price, finally able to fight Xiaoguang.

The opponent is an opponent that he cannot defeat at all, and Ta Yaliang's heart is extremely complicated.

Nervousness, fear, anticipation and courage.

Xiaoguang, who is now working hard to become a professional chess player, also felt the same way as Taya Ryo at the time.

He picked up the chess jar, shaking all over.

The lid accidentally fell off, and when Jin Tengguang went to pick it up, he realized that he couldn't use any strength.

Xiaoguang looked at his hands and understood what Xiaoliang was feeling.

The other party is pursuing Zuo Wei, and I am pursuing him, so the mood is the same.

The joy of playing against an opponent you are in awe of!

However, Xiaoguang waited for a long time with full expectations, but was let go by Tayaliang.

Akira Toriyama: "???"

He had been looking forward to it for so long, but he never thought that this game would not happen!

Suddenly, I felt like I wanted to beat Hibiki Hibiki.

Having said that, this plot is indeed a bit irritating.

But what happened next made his mood change and he began to look forward to it again.

It turned out that Taya Yukihiro was hospitalized, which prevented Taya Ryo from participating in the competition.

Shindo Hikaru came to visit Taya Yukihiro. He was fine. His disciple Ogata brought a computer so that he could play chess on the Internet to pass the time.

After talking for a long time, Xiaoguang asked Taya Xingyang and Sai to have a fair fight on the Internet.

Taya Yukihiro is not interested in playing chess with people whose names are not revealed and whose identity is hidden.

If sai can come to the scene, you can play any number of chess with him.

Zuowei was very excited. He shouted at Taya Xingyang: "I'm right here! Prepare the chessboard and chess pieces, I'm right here!"

He was already full of momentum, but it was a pity that Taya Xingyang couldn't see him.

Xiaoguang looked at Zuo Wei's appearance, cheered up, and sincerely asked Taya Xingyang.

"Just one time! Let's play online Go with him! Because that guy... can only play chess on the Internet..."

Xiaoguang's attitude was extremely sincere, and Taya Xingyang finally agreed.

He also said: "If I lose, I will retire as a professional chess player!"

He looked down on people like Zuo Wei who only dominated the Internet, but he couldn't underestimate others. In the next week, he began to learn to play chess on the Internet.

Zuo Wei is looking forward to it very much. He has learned about Taya Xingyang since he possessed Xiaoguang.

Understand that the other person is also pursuing the "God's Hand". In such a fair duel, you can see who is closer to the realm of the "God's Hand"!

The battle of the century is about to begin.

…

Chess Academy.

"Damn it! Updates are discontinued!"

"What kind of duel is this!"

“I’m really looking forward to it!”

The chess academy was full of mourners. Shinoda, fourth dan, touched the dark circles under his eyes and couldn't help shouting angrily.

"In two months, the Go preliminaries will begin! Why do you still have time to read comics! Play chess for me! Whoever loses will have to play one more game!"

…

Go Club.

After the young lady at the front desk finished telling the plot of the latest episode, the middle-aged and elderly people below couldn't help shouting loudly.

"That kid named Dong Ye is too much!"

"I want to know the plot behind it."

"Who will win?"

Xiaochun's hand holding the chess piece trembled slightly. He had decided not to read comics and concentrate on playing chess, but he still couldn't help but want to know the plot behind "The Soul of Chess".

"I should have given Tori Akino a beating!"

He muttered something.

…

Hibiki hung up the phone from Akira Toriyama.

The two of them rarely communicated, and they didn't expect that this time they called to scold themselves.

Comparing his feelings with his own, his comics never stop focusing on important points?

It's really too much.

Oda touched his chest and was afraid, "Fortunately, I'm an assistant and I know what's going to happen next."

"Well," Yoshii nodded, "the readers who have to wait for another week are so pitiful."

The assistants muttered here and there, and Higashikata glared angrily.

The two of them lowered their heads and pretended to draw.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Dong Yexiang went out to open the door and saw a man standing at the door holding a pencil sharpener, which scared him.

"Ah, hello, I'm a staff member from NHK. I visited you last time."

Higashino Hibiki breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not a resentful reader.

I read a lot of news that when the author was at a book signing, a reader rushed towards him with a knife and stabbed him.

There is a saying that if you don’t do anything bad, don’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.

It seemed that he himself knew what he was doing was not authentic.

"No, it should be in Chinese."

Seeing that Higashino Hibiki didn't speak, the staff member reacted and took out a dictionary. The plastic cover on it had just been torn off. It seemed that the knife was used for this.

He compared it with a dictionary and said awkwardly, "Hi, I'm Tanaka from NHK."

Hibiki Higashikata was convinced, he must have worked too hard.

With such a level of concentration, what can't you do?

He looked at Tanaka and blurted out in Japanese: "Why do you want to be a toll collector for NHK?"

Tanaka was stunned, "You can speak Japanese."

He put down the dictionary in his hand and said decadently: "I am so easily deceived."

"I'm asking you a question." Hibiki Higashikata said, "Your mother in the country will be very disappointed if she knows you are in this business."

"Sorry..." Tanaka lowered his head, "I'm sorry because I can't find another job."

"Well," Dongye Xiang nodded, "It's okay to know that you were wrong. You can go."

"Yes, I'm sorry to bother you today."

Tanaka limped away, and Higashikata breathed a sigh of relief, finally being fooled again.

…

On Tuesday, Sasaki called.

Hibiki Higashino was a little surprised. Because the results of the quick report did not affect the final status of the work, he told Sasaki that there was no need to notify him of the ranking.

What's going on today?

Hibiki Higashikata, "Hello, I'm Tori Akino. What can I do for you?"

Sasaki said: "I think I have to inform you of the quick report results this time."

Dongye Xiang's heart was pounding, "Is it possible?"

He had a conjecture that made him very excited.

"That's right, the quick report ranking of "Game Soul"..." Sasaki paused.

Dongye swallowed his saliva, extremely anxious.

"It's number one!"

"Oh!" Higashikata cheered!

After so many days and nights and so many efforts, I finally got the first place in the quick report.

Even a man who is so unfazed by favors and insults like him can no longer contain the joy in his heart at this moment!

"Congratulations, Tori Akino-sensei." Sasaki said with a smile.

Yoshii was surprised to see the suddenly excited Hibiki Higashikata. Akimiya and Oda looked at the time, seemed to have thought of something, and became excited.

"Is it number one?" Oda asked.

Higashikata smiled and nodded.

"What about "Dragon Ball"?" Oda asked again.

Before Hibiki could ask, Sasaki said: "Dragon Ball is second, and Rurouni Kenshin is third."

He heard the revelry on the other side of the phone and smiled.

Sure enough, no matter how mature you are, you are still a child.

Higashino Hibiki told Oda the results of "Dragon Ball" and said to Sasaki: "However, this is just a quick report. My goal is Xiaomasa's first place!"

Xiao Zheng is the first! Is the real number one!

"Well, come on, Tori Akino." Sasaki hung up the phone.

Oda was still confused, "I actually surpassed that "Dragon Ball"."

Yoshii was helpless, "No, you are just an assistant..."

"I do have potential," Oda said confidently, "I will definitely be able to serialize in the future and become a manga artist comparable to Akira Toriyama!"

Akimiya Akemi complained, "No, no, no, it's better not to dream."

Bird Akino Studio was full of laughter.

Nobuhiro Watsuki's expression was a little complicated.

He likes "Chess Soul" very much, and the recent content is also very interesting.

But I, who had the front page, actually lost.

This can't help but pour cold water on him, who is so famous.

"What needs to be paid attention to is not only Toriyama Akira-sensei in front, but also Tori Akino Mirai behind you. It's still too late to understand this."
