I go straight to the studio, so Seon-hee follows me.

“You can rest today.”

“okay. I just came back. Get some rest.”

She shook her head despite her mother’s insistence.

“no it’s okay. I want to draw.”

“okay. Then let’s go together.”

“I will go too.”

Kyunghee followed us.

It was close to my house, so I got to the studio quickly and went inside. Then people are happy to see us.

“Good morning. Teacher.”

“Have you been well?”

“welcome.”

“Yeah. How have you all been?”

“Yeah.”

After I said hello, I gave the fishesies cartoon character figures I bought in Japan.

“Hey, is it Dongjamong?”



“Isn’t this… my love genie doll?”

“Yeah.”

“Wow, I really liked this foreign currency. Thank you. It reminds me of the past.”

“I win, Seung-ho, right? Thank you very much.”

I chose a combination of the pictures in each seat and the words I had said so far, but it seems to fit my taste.

“Come on, Junmo is the Grandizer.”

4 Year Old Junmo Received Grandizer Toy And She Loves It

“thank you. I have to.”

“It’s Komasumi.”

“okay. boy.”

When she saw Junmo greeting her, she was cute and stroked her hair.

In fact, these days, in 1984, robot cartoons are rarely aired on TV. So, Grandizer and Mazinger Z, which ended 4 years ago, are robots familiar to children.

It’s not on TV, but according to the book I read, the government at that time said that robot cartoons made children violent and banned the airing of robot cartoons.

is going Thanks to this, the robot water in the anime that is currently airing on TV has almost dried out.

In addition, the news frequently appears on TV shows that cartoons raise violence, and that children are exposed to violence because of games in arcades.

Personally, I’ve been to the arcade a few times with Park Sang-sik, but the game video was so boring that it was childish.

Still, this is not the heyday of electronic entertainment.

“Thank you for taking care of me on purpose.”

I think Sung Joon-hee likes it.

“Your thing is this.”

“What? I don’t need mine…, huh? Serine the magician.”

It was a song I usually hum, so I bought it just in case, and I think I like it.

Then, Park Sang-sik is also watching him secretly.

“Come on, five eagle brothers you like. I bought all of them, so I had a lot of luggage, so I just bought the 3rd Swan Girl, my brother’s favorite.”

Originally, I remember him as ‘Swan Jun’, but I don’t know the Korean name in this era.

“Not the Swan Girl, but Yumi Yumiya.”

“A name like that, what do I know?”

“You, the manga encyclopedia, shouldn’t say things like that. I thought you knew this.”

“It’s prejudice. Preoccupation.”

After all, I knew well that this person likes the Five Eagle Brothers, so I was thinking about what to buy, and I bought the only woman, #3.

Actually, the title of the Japanese version was ‘Science Ninja vs Catchaman’, but in Korea, the title is familiar.

“Aren’t I?”

“Come on, bro.”

Kang Yong-cheol’s eyes widened as he handed him a dagger-shaped toy the size of a palm.

“A Triton Sword?”

“I found it in the store by accident. I remembered my brother and bought it. The model seems to be well made.”

“Thank you. I really like Triton.”

“I know. Because I saw that there was a Triton bookshelf and an original comic book by Osamu Tezuka in the studio.”

“Hey, did you know that? Anyway, it’s exciting. I never expected to get something like this.”

Kang Yong-cheol knew that he was a big fan of ‘Sea Boy Triton’, which aired in Korea at the time.

“Say it quickly anyway. Is it new?”

“Oh. I forgot.”

Kang Yong-cheol scratched his head and talked about the main point.

“As I said on the phone earlier, while you were in Japan, I got a call from Treasure Castle. As a new serial.”

“okay? So what did you say?”

“I was just thinking about it.”

“Why? You should have gotten it.”

“I’ve barely adapted to Orion’s Leopard series.”

“What is he saying now? First of all, take the older brother and the student. Then it will be.”

“Are students from a poor cartoonist like me trying to come in? It’s hard to serialize if you only get a raw beginner.”

Hahaha, there is no way students with proficiency are lifting under the obscure rookie cartoonist.

But there are people who come to mind.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“I can call Daebong hyung.”

“Daebong hyung? Do you know Mr. Lee Dae-bong?”

“uh? Do you know your brother?”

“I don’t know it very well. I’ve seen it come and go a few times. What is it… you’re a bit of a unique person.”

I giggled at Kang Yong-cheol’s words. To understand the meaning of the word unique.

“Still, it’s good to be friends with him. It’s a little sticky, though.”

At that moment, Kang Yong-cheol trembled. Did he have something on his mind?

“Then why are you trying to contact Lee Dae-bong?”

“Why, it’s a yard. Here in our studio family, he introduced them all.”

“okay?”

“Do you know? Can you introduce me to a pretty and talented female student?”

When I speak in a soft voice, Yong-cheol Kang is startled.

“Hey, what…”

“uh? But why is your face blushing?”

“My, when am I!”

“I thought, I thought.”

“Because it’s not!”

Kang Yong-cheol has a taste for making fun of him.

Finally, the day when the results of the questionnaire come out.

With a nervous mind, Jiro received the A4 paper handed out by his co-worker with a nervous expression.

In its editorial department, it is a good quality manga and a different material. And I was paying attention to the interestingness of the story.

However, after the first anger came out, Samsara’s reaction was lukewarm, unexpectedly.

In the first episode, even though he worked hard to promote it ambitiously, he was only ranked 8th in the reader’s postcards. You might think that 8th place out of a total of 20 works is not bad.

However, the grades of the first episode are usually close to the best grades that the work can achieve. Of course, if you get a full seat during the serialization, you will be in the top ranks, but if you count until then,

There is hope that it can remain in the top rank for a long time only when it is within the top 5.

Nevertheless, since he was in 8th place, it was only natural that Jiro in charge was very disappointed.

“It may be because it is a work that is still unfamiliar. Our magazine has the characteristics of being a boy’s magazine, and since our main focus is gags and cheerfulness, comics with heavy material like this are sweet.

It can be difficult to get attention.”

“Yeah, it’s a zombie thing. zombie.”

The team leader and Yajima comforted Jiro and said:

“Still, it’s a work that the editorial department believed in that way……”

“There has been only one episode so far. Let’s wait a little longer.”

“Yeah.”

It’s disappointing, but it’s true that we have no choice but to wait for now.

End

< To make matters worse, breaking through the thousand won (2) >

I tilted my head at Kyunghee’s words.

“customer?”

“do not know. A certain woman said that she received a great favor at the airport…”

“Ah.”

At that moment, I could barely guess who it was.

“so?”

“So, I just came here with you. What’s going on? Have you ever painted a trauma in a bar or something?”

She flicks her tongue, snaps her fingers, and pretends to flick to the side of her.

“What are you talking about? When did I do that?”

“You used to do it a lot.”

“······Oh yeah?”

Oh, if it was the main body guy, maybe it was. I forgot for a while.

“Then are you out now?”

“uh.”

“Okay. Seonhee, let’s go out with me too.”

With those words, Seon-hee stops her work and gets up from her seat.

“I?”

“You are just here.”

“Okay.”

He quietly nodded his head at once, wondering if he was worried that he might get a night out again.

As Seon-hee and I went out of the studio together, someone approached us.

“Ah, hello.”

A woman who appears to be in her late twenties comes up to me and says hello. But there is a girl who looked pretty at that time by her side.

“Miryung-ah, I need to say hi.”

“Good morning.”

A girl says hello to her belly pretty.

When she sees a woman and a child, she remembers seeing her at the airport.

“Oh, it’s this kid.”

“Yeah. Thanks to him, I was able to find the child.”

Seon-hee, who was next to her, approaches the child, and she squats down on the spot and makes eye contact with the child. Then he stroked her child’s head.

Seonhee was smiling brightly with a smile on her lips.

I’ve never seen you smile so brightly. When the family sees this scene, they will tremble again.

“It’s the girl who drew the picture back then.”

“Yeah.”

“thank you so much. What would have happened if it wasn’t for the two of you? I will never forget this grace until the day I die.”

Saying so and saying hello again.

By the way, until you die, you don’t have to.

“Don’t do this. Thanks to this, I came back from the airport comfortably and didn’t lose the things I brought with me. That alone is enough.”

“Still, I wanted to come and say thank you in person.”

In addition, she said several times to ask if a woman needs anything, and to ask her to help if she needs any help, but she refused all of them.

At first glance, he seems like a wealthy family with a lot of energy, but now that I can live on my own strength, I have no intention of asking for help.

“Can I come to play with my child from time to time?”

“of course. If that’s the case, we are welcome.”

Still, she didn’t refuse to say that she would come to play sometimes, thanks to the fact that the girl follows Seon-hee quite a bit.

Because Seonhee also needs a friend.

And even more so if she is a child who makes Seon-hee look like that.

“Eighth?”

“Yeah.”

“If you get 8th place in a magazine with a total of 20 episodes, you did well.”

When Park Sang-sik smiled and said, Ji-ro made an awkward expression.

I know the meaning of that expression.

“It’s not something I like.”

Park Sang-sik put on a puzzled expression at my words. Of course, the eyes of the fishermen around me are also focused on my words.

“The popularity of the postcard voting is the most important for the first painting.”

“What?”

“Usually it just falls off after the first episode. We also did a lot of publicity there, and if the results are like this…”

Jiro, who was not happy with my words, nodded her head saying he agreed with me.

“Yes, as the teacher said. To be honest, I was expecting to be in the top 4 or so. However, the editorial department was surprised because the result came out like this.

is a reaction.”

“I think the magazine’s characteristics also had an impact.”

“Yeah. It seems so. Other than boys’ magazines, the fields we focus on are gags, cheerful cartoons, and sports. Of course, in SF

It is true that popular works have come out. In the case of Samsara, science fiction and horror are combined. I think the impact is a little big.”

Actually, it wasn’t that he didn’t know the characteristics of Weekly Boys’ Heroes, but it was a mistake to not know exactly what he was focusing on in 1984. In addition, the shadow of Seon-hee

It was also a problem to decide ahead of time.
