Chapter 1102: Ultimate

Hosaka Yusuke leaned against the back of the chair, rubbed his neck, and stood up to get a can of coffee.

As soon as he stood up, the doorbell rang twice.

The assistant got up and opened the door, and China Kotani followed the assistant in.

"Mr. Kotani, are you here so late?" Hosaka Yusuke was a little surprised.

"That's not true. I just went to Mr. Yamagishi's place, chatted for a while, and sent the sample magazine to Mr. Yamagishi." Saying that, China Kotani opened the briefcase and handed the latest issue of "Young Leap" to Yusuke Hosaka.

"I've already read it." Hosaka Yusuke tucked the magazine under his arm and opened a can of coffee, "What would you like to drink, teacher?"

"No, I'll go out and have some drinks later. You're so busy, maybe you don't have time?"

Hosaka Yusuke took a sip of coffee, thought for a while, and swallowed it again.

"I really don't have time. This issue of the magazine... seems to let me see the ceiling of the manga, it's so difficult..." Hosaka Yusuke sighed helplessly.

"How do you feel after watching it?" China Kotani asked hastily.

"As expected... I like "The Gate of Eternal Life" better. It's really cool to read 46 pages in one go." Hosaka Yusuke laughed.

"What about ""?" China Kotani asked hastily.

"Of course the quality is very high, but the number of pages is too small, it's not enjoyable to read, and "" has won the number one small book for 9 consecutive weeks. Do you think readers will get bored?" Yusuke Hosaka asked rhetorically.

""Gate of Eternal Life" has been serialized for 18 years. Are readers tired of it?" China Otani shook his head and said, "Readers are tired of meaningless and uninteresting works. If they are really good works, they will definitely support them."

Hosaka Yusuke was stunned for a moment. Seeing that China Kotani had packed his briefcase and was about to leave, he hurriedly stopped China Kotani, "Mr. Kotani, what do you think of these two manga?"

"Mr. Yamagishi?" China Kotani turned around, with a troubled expression on his face, "I really forgot. But I think his judgment should be consistent with that of Uematsu-sensei."

"What did Uematsu-sensei say?"

China Kotani shook her head, "I don't know. This short book is also very important to Uematsu-sensei. The length of two chapters is compared with one chapter. If you win, you will not be honored, and if you lose... it will be even more frustrating. This A move, a failure."

Hosaka Yusuke opened his mouth slightly, but in the end he didn't stop China Kotani who was leaving.

Same as Mr. Uematsu?

So... what does Uematsu-sensei think?

Hosaka Yusuke was suddenly full of curiosity about this matter.

...

"Teacher... still working?" When Miyamoto knocked on the door of Uematsuno's room, Uematsuno's wife opened the door for him.

Seeing her slightly downcast expression, Miyamoto Ping felt a little nervous.

"Yeah. I'm thinking about the name of the new episode."

When Miyamoto came to the studio, his expression tightened.

The seats where the three assistants were originally sitting were empty, and only Uematsuno was painting at his desk in the entire studio, but the floor was full of balls of paper held together.

"Ms. Uematsu... online readers have responded very well to the latest chapter of "The Gate of Eternal Life." Miyamoto walked slowly to Uematsuno's workbench,

said softly.

"What about ""?" Uematsuno asked back.

"It's not as good as "The Gate of Eternal Life." Miyamoto Ping pretended to be relaxed, "This time, we have a good chance."

"Don't lie to me, I understand manga." Uematsuno raised his head, frowning, "I can see which manga is better..."Shounen Leap" prepared a calendar for "" and said it was a 'gift'. Calendar Is it just a cover? The real gift is the words themselves!"

Miyamoto flat speech, scalp a little numb.

"Before, we summed up two points. First, in order to express the tension of the comics, there must be page spreads; second, in order to mobilize the atmosphere of the readers, there must be a lot of emotional and shocking dialogues from the audience, right?" Uematsuno asked.

Miyamoto nodded.

More than one sports comic is doing this, and the comics in the previous issues of "" are also doing this.

"There is a double-page spread, but what about the reader's exclamation? Where did the dialogue go?" Uematsuno's forehead was full of wrinkles.

Miyamoto was silent.

Of course he knew how Uematsuno felt. In fact, when he saw Chapter 184 for the first time, he was taken aback. Even now, he still hasn't recovered.

The Lingnan team, which was 4 points behind, was in a desperate situation. Xiandao used his personal ability to pass Mu Gangxian and scored two points.

The score narrowed to 2 points, whether it was Xiang Yanyi, Lingnan team's substitute, even the coach, the Hainan team sitting in the stands... were all affected by this game, showing their own moods.

Whether excited, excited, unexpected, or anxious, these emotions are clearly expressed in the picture.

The offensive time of the Xiangbei team passed by one minute and one second, and there were only four seconds left in the blink of an eye. The players off the court are also reminding Yuzhu that there is not much time left for Xiangbei's attack.

In this case, Mu Gangxian turned around and shook the fish post. When facing the basket and preparing to shoot, Tomita appeared out of thin air and tried his best to block it.

The basketball hit the top of the rim and flew out.

The joy of Lingnan's substitute, Tomita's astonishment after looking back, and the coach's horror are all clearly displayed on the paper.

Huadao is like a god descending from the earth, leaping high, holding the basketball firmly with both hands.

Mu Gangxian, Liu Chuanfeng, Mu Qingzi, Tomita, Xiandao...

These people watched Huadao dunk the ball into the basket with both hands...

In the end, 70:66, Xiangbei won.

Recalling the scenes of this scene, Miyamoto Heira also felt the blood boiling in his heart, and had to admit the success of this statement.

As Uematsuno said, the dialogue in this sentence does not exceed 7 sentences, most of which are concentrated in the first two pages.

Before the end of the game, the cheers from the audience, Mu Gangxian's command, Xiandao's extraordinary layup, the excitement of the audience outside the court, and finally, the coach of the Lingnan team closed his eyes in despair after seeing Huadao's dunk... All kinds of details will be revealed one by one through meticulous drawing.

The whole story is like a pantomime. There are obviously not many words in the whole story, but the emotions of the characters seem to be in the bottom of the reader's heart.

It's hard to imagine that a hot-blooded sports comic, except for the three pages that cut off the beginning and end, doesn't have a single line of dialogue throughout, and there isn't even an onomatopoeia that expresses sound.

This word did it.

A powerful storyboard can make readers feel the connotation of the story without needing to repeat it in words, and the effect will far exceed that of comics with dialogue.

Dialogue, in the final analysis, is nothing more than to let readers understand what the manga is about, but in this episode, all the storyboards express a meaning—dialogue is redundant in this episode.

Although "" and "The Gate of Eternal Life" are in a state of competition, Miyamoto still wants to say that in his opinion, the storyboard of this episode is already the ultimate in sports comics, and there will never be another storyboard that exceeds this level in the future. One word.
