1983 Past Life Manga King

“It is not yet specific. It’s just a rough outline.”

“I want to read it when I get a chance. When it’s finished, don’t take it elsewhere, bring it first.”

You’re trying to take the lead without even saying that you’re going to buy it blindly.

Well, maybe it was a natural decision from my point of view.

After talking for such a long time, the students woke up and the atmosphere was about to start work, so I slowly robbed and got up.

“okay. Think carefully about what I suggested, and call me.”

“Yeah.”

After saying hello and leaving the studio, I’m starting to feel hungry.

She thought she would call someone and give her some food.

I don’t know if it was because the studio was busy, so I couldn’t afford it, or because the meal times were different.

On the way home, I went into a Chinese restaurant.

Park Sang-sik’s stomach was also similar to mine, so as soon as I entered, I screamed.

“Two bowls of jajangmyeon.”

Look at the price tag on the wall.

For a moment, I wondered if I had written it down by subtracting one zero.

450 won.

I can’t believe that I could have eaten such cheap jjajangmyeon before I was alive.

Oops, I forgot it was 1983.

I laughed. However, Park Sang-sik opened his mouth, noticing whether he had misunderstood my laughter.

“I’m sorry.”

“Huh? What?”

“Okay, what the teacher suggested.”

“Oh, what? Why?”

I replied ignorantly.

“I don’t know about you, but the reason I asked you to come as a student, honestly, I didn’t mean that for you.”

It seems that Park Sang-sik also knew Kang Hyung-seok’s inner feelings well.

But I still pretended to be ignorant of the manga world and asked.

“Isn’t it for me?”

“okay. Absolutely not.”

“You seemed like a good person. That cartoonist teacher.”

“Well, people aren’t bad. However, it’s different when you go under the manga artist. Seeing one step apart and living together.”

After all, it would be similar to saying not to do business with a friend or not to go out on your own.

“Anyway, once you become a student, your talents will end up spreading out for that person. I too have been a student for two years, so I am well aware of the climate of such a studio.”

“okay?”

I knew it, so I didn’t have to react too much. Overdoing it doesn’t fit my personality.

“Don’t be a student. you’re wasting your life Of course, I don’t know if I have a dream to become a cartoonist.”

“I won’t. And I don’t even think about being a cartoonist. I have no talent for drawing manga.”

“uh? When did you start doing cartoons?”

“A little before.”

In fact, I used to draw cartoons for several years when I was in school.

I like cartoons, so it was natural for me to be interested in drawings.

However, over the years, the only thing I’ve confirmed is that I’m not talented.

There, drawing cartoons was not as romantic as I thought.

It wasn’t for nothing that cartoonists said hemorrhoids, lack of exercise, or discs. In addition, it was nothing like complete labor that required enormous physical strength and mental strength.

So, I was satisfied with the level of just enjoying it.

“I didn’t know. did you do cartoons? Well, I didn’t know you well before, so it’s natural, isn’t it?”

“From now on, you should be fine.”

“You are right.”

Still, he’s not a real brother, and moreover, we didn’t get along very well until recently, but I’m thankful that he cared for me like this.

Of course, I don’t know what it would have been like if it wasn’t for my sister.

“Anyway, I’m sorry. I thought I would introduce a cartoonist who could sell a story, or ask for a different story.”

“done. I just need to help hyung’s story and earn some pocket money.”

I think that pocket money is a bit big.

“Thank you for saying that. And if you are talented, you might become big. And to be honest, you can sell the story if you use it outside. is not it? However, in the studio, it is taken for granted because of the atmosphere of teaching students as a teacher. To be honest, what kind of teacher are you? Aren’t you just a business owner? I also wasted 2 years of my life like that. Without paying a penny, really.”

Thinking about it, Park Sang-sik frowned, perhaps resentful.

Seriously, for two years, I couldn’t sleep and worked under someone else, but if all that’s left was my poor health and my smoking habit, I’d be angry.

However, as the name suggests, Park Sang-sik seems to be a person with common sense. Seeing you talk like this.

“Anyway, it’s kind of embarrassing to hear something like that.”

“Why?”

“If those kinds of people don’t go their own way, they will always say that the comics industry is narrow, and that it is difficult to help, but it is easy to play chess.”

“That’s right.”

“Are you talking like someone else?”

“It’s about someone else.”

“What?”

At that time, the waiter puts the jajangmyeon on a tray and comes out.

“Jjajangmyeon is here.”

Park Sang-sik, who looked at me with an absurd expression for a moment, sees the jjajangmyeon in a large bowl and loses his mind and concentrates on it.

But at that moment, cheers are heard from the TV in the restaurant.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

When I turned my eyes away, it was a color TV I had not seen in a long time.

Although the screen is small and the picture quality is poor, I still do not get used to the colors well when I watch only black and white. Is it professional baseball anyway?

A few of the restaurant’s guests take their eyes off the screen and stand up.

[······························· ground side ] With 4 wins and 1 draw, the Haitai Tigers won the Korean Series by defeating MBC Blue Dragon.

“Oh really. How come you can’t even dance?”

“This year is refreshing, really. Last year was really fun.”

Park Sang-sik, who was shoving noodles into his mouth, glanced at the TV and frowned slightly.

“This year’s Korean series is not fun. Are you also a fan of Cheongyong?”

“no. I am not very interested.”

“By the way, Haetae is doing really well this year.”

Park Sang-sik munched the pickled radish and looked at the TV and immediately turned his head back to me.

“Before that, you said that you were talking about someone else, what does that mean?”

“What?”

“So… let’s quit A.”

Saying that, he begins to inhale the jjajangmyeon again.

He would have understood it only as the arrogance that came out of a beginner’s mouth.

Well, that’s not wrong either.

But sometimes the relationship between the two of us changes.

────────────────────────────────────

────────────────────────────────────

you lost your future (1)

A week passed like that.

I didn’t have a smartphone or computer so it was quite boring at first, but now I’m getting used to life in this era.

No, rather, maybe that’s why I feel happy in the little things.

For example, just playing a 50-won Gallag game in the arcade can cause your blood to boil without realizing it, especially when you are competing for scores with children. .

As the era is an era, it has its own darkness, but it is also true that it also has its own charm.

Anyway, the most enjoyable part was the cartoon.

The joy of visiting a comic book store whenever time permits and finding hidden masterpieces was incomparable to anything else.

Of course, I didn’t just play like this for a week.

In the meantime, I went in and out of Park Sang-sik’s house downstairs every day, completing two more stories.

Mostly through discussion, Park Sang-sik wrote an article and then told the story.

Writing a story was still too much for me. I am not used to it, and expressing my thoughts in writing was not yet my skill.

After all, the story was not something that could be done with virtue alone.

Anyway, when the two articles were completed in a week, Park Sang-sik was the most excited.

“Wow, I finished two in a week. Is this a dream or is it real?”

“How does your brother look?”

“Not overflowing. Much better than I thought.”

In fact, it’s something you’ll be making later on, and it’s amazing how much you admire it.

Of course, due to my intervention, the lines have changed a bit, so the details have changed a bit, but the whole thing remains the same.

That said, I didn’t go into as much detail as I did in the times I lived in. If you think about it like that, starting with the probability, the parts that need to be tweaked will increase like a mountain.

I’m getting used to it little by little now, but I didn’t want to overdo it already. And there is no guarantee that that method will work in this day and age.

“By the way, wouldn’t the story be too long? The second and the third are at least three to four volumes.”

Park Sang-sik said with a worried expression.

In fact, this part is unavoidable because the story of a single volume has already been completed in the first place, and there are only more than three stories left in the future.

But I was confident.

“Don’t worry, I won’t be able to teach you if you don’t have an accident.”

“I wish I did too.”

“If that doesn’t work, I can make another single-volume one. So don’t worry too much.”

In fact, there is no single-volume plan. I’m just trying to ease your worries.

Still, it seems that his expression is a little relieved, perhaps a little reassured by my words.

“Then I’m happy. Anyway, this story is really interesting.”

“By the way, even if you get a call, never say that you wrote a sequel. If I had to say that, I would think that I was fussing over here. At least they will try to slap the manuscript fee.”

“Of course I am, am I stupid?”

Park Sang-sik, who was hesitating, immediately looked at me and made a strange expression.

“Why?”

“Now that I think about it, I think I’ve been thinking very wrong about you until now. Without knowing the details, I only looked at your appearance…”

“···········?”

“Oh, no. I guess I said something.”

Saying that, he smiles awkwardly.

Haha, it’s only natural that Saengyangachi has changed so much.

But after a while.

After a while, he returned.

“It’s a call from Professor Kang Hyung-seok.”

“What did you say?”

“I don’t know, for a long time. I’ll be back, so would you like to go home?”

“There is nothing to go. I’ll be reading a comic book here.”

“Is that so?”

Then he hurriedly puts on his clothes and leaves the house to say something.

“I will be back.”

“uh.”

And two hours later, Park Sang-sik returned.

However, his expression is quite memorable.

“There is a commotion in the main office. Even the publishers are very excited to release a sequel soon.”

I think the response was good too.

Park Sang-sik continued.

“And, as you expected, please make a story in three or four or more volumes instead of one. The price per book is even higher.”

Saying that, he tapped my shoulder.

“You are really great. How do you know him better than me?”

I don’t know much about Kang Hyung-seok.

You only know that the Gomtangi series is a big hit.

In fact, there are more Gomtangi series than you think. There are only three books to come.

It’s at least 10 volumes.

However, as Hyung-seok Kang now, he cannot receive such a request for a manuscript from a publisher. The reason is that there are no hits like this yet.

However, with the success of his first work, ‘I Am a Gomtang,’ he must have received a request from the publisher. And if the second and third works succeed in succession, it is clear that they will start working on a full-length comic book script.

In fact, it was because of Lee Yeon-se’s “The Outsiders of Hell” that came out this year, 1983, that comics with more than 10 books became mainstream in the script book market.

As a result, a few years later, the Gomtangi series, which was popular in the script office, also came out with more than 10 books.

It was moved forward by about 1-2 years, but it doesn’t seem like there’s anything special about it.

However, even if the Gomtaenggi series becomes a jackpot, only the cartoonist will take that honor.

It is only natural that story writers in those days were people who could not escape the shadow of cartoonists. Thanks to this, for most of the 80’s works, when many masterpieces were poured out even to later generations, the story writer was hardly known.

It’s sad to look at it, but there’s no way right now.

When I think of it like that, the aftertaste is not pleasant.

“What is it?”

Park Sang-sik asked with a smirk as if it was strange.

“no. nothing.”
