1983 Past Life Manga King

Somehow, he seems to be thinking about something while keeping his words short. And soon he spoke again.

“It’s like real football.”

“Is that a problem?”

“okay. This is the problem. Comics should still be like cartoons. This is so real it’s a little uncomfortable to watch. I said the main character is a genius, but there is not much taste in scoring goals.

Go.”

“It is because the main character is not a striker.”

“okay. As I read, he was a midfielder. So I’m feeling a little queasy. No matter how much I went to Spain, it was a youth team and I couldn’t get it to go away.”

Because it’s a cartoon, he was described as a genius. If it was real, it would be difficult to perform that much.

But what this person is saying now is that the problem is that it is not a one-man team.

“Of course, the main character’s personality is fine. It’s a cool style and I like it. But again, the most difficult thing is the Spanish league. Are these readers

It’s about whether you’ll like it or not.”

In the end, it’s all about not liking him.

I thought it was a good story, so I made it, but it didn’t work.

“Yeah. Okay.”

“okay. Next time, please tell me a better story.”

In the end, I decided to stop selling the story to Park Cheol-ho.

I thought I was confident, but it seems that I didn’t like the fact that it was too realistic for Park Cheol-ho and that it was a Spanish league, not a Korean professional league.

No, most of the soccer cartoons at that time were about the national team rather than the pros, so there was no interest in players who were active outside of our country in the first place.

it’s not enough

In such an atmosphere of the times, there may be little interest in the main character who is active in a foreign league. Besides, how many people know about the Spanish league?

Of course, like Cha Bum-geun, there are occasional talks about the German Bundesliga, but that is only an interest in a Korean named Cha Bum-geun, and the European league is not at all interested.

It seems to be

Did I set the target wrong in the first place?

“I thought it was fun, but was it unreasonable in Korea?”

Park Sang-sik makes a strange expression and checks the continuity again.

Even for a popular work to be popular, to some extent, it has to be innate with the times.

“brother.”

Suddenly, Seon-hee, who was working in a corner of the studio, suddenly approached me.

I asked, looking at Seon-hee with wide eyes.

“Why? What’s going on? Are there any scenes you don’t understand?”

“No, not that.”

“then?”

Park Sang-sik points his finger at the continuity he is looking into.

“Would you like me to draw that?”

“What? Do you have this?”

“Huh. I don’t know much about soccer, but if you teach me, I want to try it.”

For a moment, I looked at his face for a moment, wanting to say something. You look at me with a strange expression that you don’t know what you’re thinking.

“Hey, sports manga is completely different from the Samsara you drew.”

“I know. I will learn the rules of soccer.”

“No, it’s not something that can be solved simply by knowing the rules. The breath-taking feeling of the game, the passion, the emotion…, it’s like a drama without a script.”

this is really

I don’t even know what I’m thinking.

How difficult is it to explain sports to a girl, Seon-hee?

“I will study. I will learn I want to try it.”

“No, so.”

“·················ogue.”

“Ah······.”

I’m riding

I can see that guy’s eyes are on fire.

Sizzling, sizzling. oh this isn’t it

Anyway, it seems clear now that Seon-hee is no joke.

Seriously, Seon-hee has the ability to work at a great speed, but lately she tends to have a lot of spare time in the place where she just draws.

To be honest, it was only natural for her to complete 20 pages of drawings for a week’s series in about 4 hours.

So, the rest of the time was spent searching for foreign books and studying them. However, after all, she was thirsty for only practicing rather than actual battles.

But it can also serve a different purpose.

I wonder if this guy is doing this because of the fact that the studio is difficult?

“If it’s because of money…”

“no. I just want to do it.”

“Really?”

“uh.”

Do you really want to draw a soccer cartoon?

It’s a completely different style from Samsara, so how will it be expressed?

But it is not a problem that can be solved simply by wanting to do it.

“Okay, because you said so. Then can I test you?”

“Test?”

“okay. as you know. As long as you start with the purpose of publishing, I can’t tolerate your clumsy skills. got it?”

At my words, Seon-hee tightened her eyes and nodded her head.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Okay.”

“Good.”

By the way, I think this guy has changed a lot.

For the good of course.

Seeing him pushing forward with his assertion so far makes me feel proud as an older brother.

That evening, I handed the Pasiencia storyline to Seon-hee, and at the same time, some soccer cartoons, a Korean soccer cartoon, and a few soccer-related books out of the comic books I got in Itaewon.

He handed me over and told me to draw only 20 pages.

Then I started working on the story behind Park Sang-sik and Pasiencia.

Park Sang-sik glances at Seon-hee while working on the storyline with me.

“Are you okay? I don’t think sports are right for me.”

“Well, you have to do it yourself to feel it for sure.”

“Is that so?”

To be honest, my expectations were half and half.

Obviously, I believed in Seon-hee’s talent for drawing, and I know that she draws characters well. Sports are a little different from other fields.

In any case, there are opposing teams, and simply defeating them is not enough to feel the emotion of sports manga.

In the case of soccer cartoons, friendships with many teammates and teamwork must come together and there must be an emotion that comes from fighting with a strong opponent to impress the reader.

All.

Without understanding such characteristics at all, it is absolutely difficult to understand simply with a well-drawn picture.

There was another bigger problem.

Even if Seon-hee has the ability to express soccer cartoons well, she lacks the skills to accept it. In our current situation, it is funny to increase the number of fireboxes even more.

And it doesn’t make sense to get more people here.

However, telling Seon-hee to draw everything by herself is also a problem.

The first few episodes are fine, but as I’ve worried about this problem before, it’s going to get harder and harder to handle after that.

Anyway, the problems are piled up on top of each other, so it’s better to just empty your mind.

For such a long time, I have been concentrating on the Pasiencia storyline with Park Sang-sik, but Seon-hee comes up to me and taps my shoulder.

“Uh, why?”

“Done.”

“What? already?”

“Huh.”

After answering that, he handed out the drawing.

Seon-hee took the manuscript, put it down on the table, and began to look at the pages one by one.

By the way······.

Is this your first time drawing soccer?

“Wow, are you really okay?”

Park Sang-sik, who was sitting opposite him, was surprised and admired.

Of course, I had the same mind as Park Sang-sik.

this guy

what is it really

End

Surprised, I looked through the drawing in detail to the end.

Although it is a manuscript drawn based on the continuity, it is not different from Samsara’s in that it is not only reproduced by moving the continuity as it is, but also newly described by adding her own thoughts.

One of the most important things in sports comics, speedy descriptions are fine.

A fight between people.

In the related booklets and cartoons I’ve seen, there is even a scene depicting Seon-hee’s unique feeling by adding the experience accumulated while drawing Samsara. Again this feels bad

does not go

The best thing about it is the intense feeling of passion.

uh? Come to think of it, I have a feeling of this…

At that time in Kido’s studio, he looked at the pictures and drew this and that, so did he learn this feeling?

It’s like Kido’s strange madness, and there are several places where he’s crazy, so the intensity of the main character is doubled. Even if the focus is on realism, it has a more cartoonish feel to it.

Genie, I get excited without knowing it.

This is sports water.

this is a cartoon

I don’t even know I think like that.

When I looked at it like that, I realized that page 20 was over.

“·················ogue.”

I just looked down at the manuscript in a dazed state for a moment.

This… it’s just too wasteful to just rot.

I think I can just start comic strips like this…

But there is no staff to work on the continuity.

Right now, the fishermen are rolling tight with just samsara.

Oh, it hurts, should I give up like this?

What do we do?

All of a sudden, a lot of thoughts rushed through my head.

Even if Seon-hee draws better than I expected, I was thinking that I should give up neatly, but if I make it so overwhelmingly well, I have regrets and I can’t even give up.

do.

Oh, what should I do?

“Strange? Shall I draw again?”

Seon-hee asks with a slightly worried expression.

Did you know that this guy could make a face like that?

No, it doesn’t matter now.

“no. Good. Do you like it.”

“But why?”

“Yeah, that’s it. I don’t even know why I’m doing this.”

As I smile awkwardly, Seon-hee tilts her head.

Oh, let’s think about it.

Something has to be found a way.

I quickly started rolling my head around and looking for a way.

But nothing comes to mind right now.

Then I looked at the calendar.

Tomorrow is the day Jiro comes.

First of all, solve it from there. Let’s think about the fisheries problem next.

*

I showed Pasiencia’s manuscript to Jiro, who came to the studio the next day.

Then he looks quite surprised.

“Isn’t that Samsara?”

“First of all, it’s new, but please take a look.”

Jiro’s expression brightens.

“uh? this······. It’s a football cartoon.”

“Yeah.”

“Hey, this is a welcome welcome. And I also really like soccer.”

Ah, so that’s why you made that face.

Anyway, Jiro looked at the drawings one by one, and soon he read all 20 pages and spoke with a bright expression.

“It’s an interesting start. A story of crossing over to Spain, a developed country in soccer. But how does it flow over to Spain?”

“Ah, here’s a continuity, would you like to take a look?”

When I handed the continuity note, I was surprised to see it.

“You made a lot.”

“Would you like to read it?”

“Yeah. Absolutely.”

After saying that, I fell in love with the story and started reading.

Maybe because of the length, I just read it for more than 30 minutes without saying a word.

And as I closed the notebook to make sure I had read it all, he looked at me with round eyes and said:
