Chapter 5 My Struggle
"Drawing comics is not just about playing," Nobuhiro Machino smiled bitterly: "A manga artist is like a gambler!"
Nobuhiro Machiro looked at the child in front of him. He looked only 8 or 9 years old, so how could he have the belief of burning his boats?
"There are only 0.001% of people who can support their families by drawing comics!"
"That is, there is only one out of 100,000 people!"
Nobuhiro Machiro's words are very true, but it is this truth that completely declares the difficulty of becoming a cartoonist!
There are also descriptions in "Dream Eater", such as having spent more than ten years of youth in the comics industry and having excellent painting skills. However, he was just an assistant to a cartoonist, and finally gave up sadly and went back to his hometown Qiaolang Nakai!
"I have known this kind of thing for a long time," Hattori said calmly: "My uncle is the editor of the jump editorial department."
"Oh!" Nobuhiro Machiro was surprised. Ordinary children knew that such things were just giving up. After all, becoming one in one hundred thousand is not an easy task.
"Aren't you afraid of failure?" asked Machiro Nobuhiro. Then his voice became stern and his voice increased a little: "Or you just want to play! If you can, continue, and if you can't, give up!"
Nobuhiro Mashiro made up for it and increasingly thought that his feelings were correct.
"What do you think of the cartoonist!"
Hattori Yayoi was so confused by what he said. Yayoi just wanted to show off, but he didn't expect to be scolded like this.
In comics and novels, the more calm the protagonist faces difficult things, the more passers-by will be. The support of supporting roles is that this boy is tenacious and has extraordinary perseverance and will have a bright future.
Yayoi couldn't help but curl his lips. He didn't expect that he was just a child and only knew how old he was, so how could he devote his energy to the comics?
Yayoi said: "Did Mr. Taro Kawaguchi think I am so superficial?
You won’t win if you don’t buy lottery tickets!
The same is true for comics, and you will not succeed without painting!
Compared to 300 million, it’s much easier to draw comics!”
He looked around and saw that everyone was attracted by the loud voice of Maki Nobuhiro and was looking at it with a frown. After all, this was a library.
"Let's talk a little bit, and I want Mr. Taro Kawaguchi to see the evidence of my hard work!"
Nobuhiro Machiro also reacted. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and quickly bent down to apologize to the others.
When the two left the library, Yayoi caused a journey.
"Where are we going?"
"My home."
"What are you doing at your house?"
"I hope the teacher can see my efforts. Comics are not casual toys for me!"
"Is that true?" Nobuhiro Machiro said complicatedly. What the child said in the library just now was exactly the same as what he thought. If everyone avoids difficulties, wouldn't there be no cartoonist?
"Well, if the teacher hadn't suspected me, I wouldn't have been willing to take the initiative to invite the teacher without making arrangements." Yayoi's words were a little awkward. No matter what, he worked hard for three years and struggled continuously. This was the first time.
Yayoi has never worked so hard to learn something that is not a textbook knowledge, and he doesn't want to be looked down upon so simply.
"If that's the case, let me see your enlightenment." Just go.
...
Yayoi led Nobuhiro Machi to his home, told his mother about the situation, and then came to his bedroom with Nobuhiro Machi to his bedroom.
Only the mother was left sighing that her son went out to play, but after he came back, he did not bring his partner of the same age, but led an uncle.
"Teacher Kawaguchi Taro, please take a look. This is the result of three years of hard work!" Yayoi pulled open the closet hard, revealing the comics he drew in the closet.
"Ah!" Nobuhiro Machiro was shocked.
I saw 3 stacks of file bags neatly placed in the closet. The stack also looked like about 10 bags. It was really surprising!
"This...this is...!"
"Yes, it's all about my paintings, arranged from left to right, from top to bottom!"
“How many pages are there?”
"Although I haven't counted it, it's about 1,500 pages." Yayoi scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
"Sorry, Yayoi, I never thought that a child would work so hard to implement his dreams. Please forgive my presumptuousness."
"It's okay, teacher."
Nobuhiro Machiro took a deep breath and said to himself: "I have done 1,500 pages of creation in three years!" He said thoughtfully to Yayoi: "It seems that you really like comics."
"If I don't continue to draw comics, it will be meaningless for me to come here!" It was true, Yayoi bowed again: "Teacher, I want to draw comics!"
Nobuhiro Machiro walked a few steps and turned around and said directly: "If your parents don't object, you will be my disciple in the future!"
"Thank you, Mr. Taro Kawaguchi!" Yayoi said excitedly.
...
"Hero, that's a legend
Heroes, are they handsome
Heroes live in your heart
…”
"Machi Castle's highest ~ sir, can you stop singing!" Yayoi's mouth twitched.
"But "Super Heroes" is super interesting, I like it very much." Maki said with excitement.
"It can start from the morning, this is your 9th time." Yayoi spread his hands, very helpless.
For the first time, I had a manga teacher and saw that the male protagonist Maki, the highest in "Dream Eater", two joys overlapped with each other, and this double joy brought more and more joy. I should have had a dreamlike happy time, but why did it become like this?
The conversation started three days ago. Nobuhiro Machiro recognized Yayoi and struck while the iron was hot to lead Yayoi to his studio. Then he asked his nephew who was playing in the studio to introduce him to Yayoi. This was the situation at that time:
"My name is Yayoi Hattori, you can call me Yayoi. Of course, it doesn't matter if you call Hattori."
"I...I am the highest in Machi," The highest in Machi, hiding behind Nobuhiro Machi, looked very shy, with a blush on his face: "You can also call me... to the highest in."
"Haha, don't do this at best," Nobuhiro Machiro smiled: "This is not something girls like~"
No girl likes it? It was shy to win a cute girl for the highest level!
I was so excited that I wanted to hug, squeeze my face, and so on, but I had to give up. After all, I didn't want to be regarded as a pervert.
...
After adjusting the time to the present, Yayoi was speechless when he saw the highest in front of him. Introverts and familiar people talked a lot, but there was no such thing as the highest. It was only three days.
It would be great if it was a girl.
"Saigao, do you want to be a cartoonist, too?"
