Chapter 1218 "Man·Tao"

"Man·Dao", as the name suggests, is related to comics.

Tachibana has also read other comics of the same theme.

how to say?

This kind of book is difficult to get results.

On the one hand, professional-themed comics are a minority, and "cartoonists" are even more niche among the minority, because the scope of activities of cartoonists is limited to the cartoonist's office, and it is difficult to even have conflicts; On the other hand, cartoonists also have a certain degree of professionalism, and it is difficult for ordinary readers to get the high points of cartoonists in some aspects.

For example, the influence of small book rankings on cartoonists, and the influence of animation production on cartoonists.

In addition, Tachibana was worried about Xi Muhan.

Although the original painting of "Man·Tao" is Shen Xin, the original painting is indeed Xi Muhan.

Can this manga be serialized in "Shounen Leap"?

Tachibana took a wait-and-see attitude towards this.

Shen Xin's nae has always been drawn neatly, the pencil lines are very clear on the paper, the lines are not disordered, it looks very comfortable.

The same is true for the first chapter of "Man·Tao".

The story starts from the perspective of the male protagonist.

The protagonist is a junior high school student. Although he is young, he meets the standards of shonen comics. Tachibana thinks there is nothing wrong with such a setting.

The main character isn't all that comic-loving, though, at least not in the first few pages.

In school, "iFuture" was eagerly borrowed by readers, but the protagonist had never read comic magazines, and even when classmates discussed comics during class, the protagonist would deliberately avoid them.

Over time, there have been rumors that the protagonist doesn't like comics.

"Don't look at him like this. He was very talented when he was a child, and he was praised by professional cartoonists. He is considered a good seed for cartoonists."

The protagonist's childhood sweetheart defends the protagonist.

"Then why is he like this now?"

"A good seedling but hates comics, the cartoonist is wrong, right?"

Some people question it, some people laugh at it.

The childhood sweetheart wanted to explain, but the protagonist entered the classroom, and the conversation ended without a problem.

On the way back, the childhood sweetheart apologized to the protagonist, but the protagonist did not respond...

Seeing this, Lihuashen couldn't help turning the page backwards.

In just three pages, so much content was covered, and a big suspense was left behind.

Why did the protagonist, known as "a good young manga artist", alienate the manga?

Fortunately, this chapter is long enough, and the follow-up content will follow.

The protagonist's father is an editor of a magazine. His love for comics is unspeakable. He often stays up late to work overtime, or lives in the cartoonist's house in order to press for manuscripts, so that his mother is quite critical of his father, but whenever he wants to When conflicts arise, they will hold back their breath.

The protagonist asked the reason, but the mother said: "Seeing the love for comics in his eyes, I can't bear it no matter what. When talking about comics, the happiness on his face is the most real."

Therefore, the protagonist also began to pay attention to the manga that made his father happy. After reading it, he soon fell into it, gradually fell in love with manga, and said to his father: "One day, I will also be a cartoonist. At that time, Dad , you will be my editor."

"Cartoonists are very hard." Father narrowed his eyes.

"If you do what you like, you will feel happy even if you work hard, right? Just like your father."

The protagonist began to practice drawing, conceived nae, and finally came out with a manuscript with only a dozen pages.

Father was overjoyed, "May I take you to see where the cartoonist really works?"

The main character is very happy,

I look forward to that day every day.

Soon, the protagonist met the cartoonist, and he also handed over his work to the other party.

The comment of "a good seedling of a cartoonist" was mentioned by the cartoonist at this time.

"What... the drawing is completely messed up, this thing is also called a manga?" The cartoonist's son, who is only one year older than the protagonist, scoffed at the protagonist's work.

Of course the protagonist refused to back down, and the two wrestled together.

In order to prevent the two people from continuing to fight, the father took the protagonist and left the cartoonist's studio early, but on the way back, there was a car accident—two cars collided, and the two people waiting for the bus at the bus stop were injured. He was implicated, and his father couldn't dodge in time and was hit by a car.

If he didn't like comics, Dad might have survived.

This was the only thought that popped into his mind.

He isolated himself from the comics and "imprisoned" himself.

Until one day, "iFuture" serialized a high school student's work, and overheard the protagonist of the news, knowing that this high school student was the cartoonist's son.

So, he narrated what the other party said, "The drawing is a mess, is this also called a cartoon?"

"Unconvinced, you also draw one?"

"What do you know? You don't know what comics are."

"You and him are people from two worlds, and he may be the pillar of "iFuture" in the future!"

The depression in his heart has no place to vent, the protagonist returns home, locks himself in the room, holds the G pen, but still can't write the pen, and finally has to give up...

The mother knocked on the door, and she already knew what happened from the protagonist's childhood sweetheart. Seeing the depressed protagonist, she had no choice but to hand over her father's diary to the protagonist.

"...When I learned of his thoughts, the ecstasy in my heart was beyond words. I even dreamed of working with him to create a comic that topped the list of ten consecutive "iFuture" books... 20 years, just wait 20 years, should be enough..."

Holding his father's diary, the protagonist burst into tears.

While separating himself from the comics, he also separated his father's dream from it.

"I must create a ten-series "iFuture" comic...for my father, and for myself!"

In the last frame of the manga, the protagonist makes a cry.

...

After reading the last frame, Tachibana touched his nose, which was a little sore.

The "Man·Tao" in this chapter, reversed and reversed, surprised Tachibana a lot, especially, some dialogues made him feel angry, such as "If you don't accept it, you can also draw one", "You and He is a person from two worlds", but the protagonist held back, but returned home, and only after seeing his father's diary did he burst out his emotions.

One word, cool.

Since the first episode involves the death of the protagonist's father, the tone of the whole episode will be rather dark. Shen Xin did not directly draw the scene of the protagonist's father's death, but passed it quickly, making the atmosphere less depressing, but the final burst of emotion is There is really no way, after all, readers also need emotional release.

The last frame of the manga directly pulls out the main line of the whole manga, that is, the protagonist wants to draw a ten-series "iFuture" manga.

The next step is how the protagonist can improve his strength, and also, it is inevitable to have a confrontation with another high school cartoonist.

The anticipation of the follow-up plot is full.

Um……

If there is anything that makes Tachibana dissatisfied, it is that "iFuture" is too dazzling. It would be great if the magazine was "Shounen Leap".

Tachibana picked up the pen and changed the title of the magazine to "Leap", then nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the change.
