Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 474 Autograph
Since today is the weekend, there are mostly students in the Second Dimension Animation City, especially middle school students.

For comic magazines, especially juvenile comics, their core target group is middle school students.

Elementary school students don’t have enough money in their pockets, so college students have more places to spend their money. Only middle school students spend a lot of money on comics and magazines.

Sure enough, when Li Wannian took Sawajiri Shi and Takahashi Kimimasa into the two-dimensional animation city, he found that the comic shop was full of people.

Li Wannian hasn't been to Neon's comic shop for a long time, and all he has is the information that Sawajiri Shi found for him.

After all, those things written on paper are not as direct as the actual scene.

If you want to know which comics are selling well, just look at which bookshelf is crowded with people!
"Hey, stupid brother, don't you like playing baseball? Why do you want to compete with me for "Slam Dunk"?"

"You're so verbose! I like playing baseball, can't I also like watching basketball?"

Soon after entering the comic store, Li Wannian was attracted by a pair of quarreling children.

The two children looked exactly the same. They were about fifteen or sixteen years old. They were each wearing a Hanshin Tigers baseball uniform, but the numbers on it were different.

But what caught Li Wannian's attention the most was their appearance.

Isn’t that Kishimoto Saishi?

I still remember the original time and space. I also met Kishimoto Saishi once. When he came to his animation production company, I even asked him for his autograph.

Although he was ten or twenty years younger at this time, his facial features had not changed much, and Li Wannian could tell at a glance.

"If you like watching basketball, go watch NBA! What comics should you read?"

"Aren't the comics good?"

The two brothers who were bickering were the two brothers Kishimoto Saishi and Kishimoto Seishi.

Now they are third-year junior high school students. This time, they took advantage of the weekend to save money for half a year and took the Shinkansen from Okayama Prefecture to Tokyo.

They will go back this afternoon, so they plan to come to Akihabara Animation City today to buy some things they want.

In addition to buying comics here, it is more suitable to buy comics for free. However, because there are very few trial copies of each comic magazine, everyone can only rush to read them, otherwise they have to pay!

This is life, if you are not willing to spend money, you have to spend time!
For the cash-strapped Kishimoto brothers, it would be great to be able to buy a magazine here for free!
So, the two people who finally got in line started fighting over who could see it first.

Until a voice sounded, interrupting the fight between the two.

"Do you guys like "Slam Dunk" very much?"

Hearing the voice behind them, brothers Kishimoto Saishi turned around at the same time and saw a tall and thin young man looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Yes, it does look good!"

Kishimoto Seishi didn't think much and answered directly.

"Really? What do you like about this comic?"

"The games are exciting! Especially the recent game against Chaoyang No. 1 Middle School (Xiangyang Team)! Shi Tengzhen is so handsome!"

The comic has now reached more than 90 chapters, and the match between Foshan Team and Chaoyang Team has entered the second half.

Relying on everyone's efforts, they successfully forced Shi Tengzhen, who was the coach off the court, onto the court. However, because of this, the Foshan team fell behind again!
But this game was, after all, the first truly intense and exciting game in "Slam Dunk". It also allowed the popularity of "Slam Dunk" to continue to grow. It even surpassed the original most popular game in Hong Kong Island and Neon. The fiery "One Piece".

This is a very remarkable thing. After all, whether it is Hong Kong Island or Neon, basketball is a niche sport.

And "One Piece" is also an excellent comic, and the content has already reached the chapter of the sea restaurant.

Especially the first time we learned about the King's Shichibukai and the appearance of the world's best swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, the manga's popularity skyrocketed.

But even so, it actually lost to "Slam Dunk". "Aren't you bored because this comic tells a story about mainland China?"

"Why? The competition is very interesting!"

Kishimoto Seishi looked like he was taking it for granted, but it actually made Li Wannian laugh.

For readers, no matter what the subject matter or the background is, as long as it is a good story, they will like it.

How could I forget such a natural thing?
"And the relationship between the characters is also very good, and each character's personality is very distinct!"

At this time, Kishimoto Saishi, who had been silent and concentrating on drawing comics, suddenly raised his head and interrupted.

"Oh?"

Li Wannian did not expect that Kishimoto Saishi had already noticed these problems at such a young age.

"Do you like drawing comics?"

"Well, I used to like it!"

"before?"

"Brother, he used to draw comics when he was in elementary school, but after entering junior high school, he became obsessed with playing baseball!"

When Seishi Kishimoto explained on the side, he was a bit teasing.

"Hey, that's enough, my stupid brother, why do you tell outsiders everything?"

"Hahaha, don't be so angry! I'm not a bad person!"

Hearing that the two brothers were about to quarrel again, Li Wannian stood up and tried to persuade them.

"Tch, you've been asking us two questions from the beginning to the end, and you haven't said anything about your identity. Who knows who you are and what you want to do?"

Kishimoto Saishi's character is obviously more mature than his younger brother's, and he always sees people in a dark way. It's no wonder that his later comics always have some dark parts.

However, Li Wannian didn't have any discomfort with this. Li Wannian was thinking about how to introduce himself when he suddenly saw the magazine in Kishimoto Saishi's hand. His heart moved and he said to Sawajiri who was standing aside: "Get me a pen!"

Sawajiri Shi had no doubt about him and quickly took a pen from the cashier.

After Li Wannian took over the pen, he took out two comic volumes of "Naruto" from the bookshelf, opened the plastic cover directly, and signed his name on the title page.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"This has to be paid for!"

When Li Wannian handed the comics to the two of them, they received curses from them in return.

For children like them, this single volume costs a lot of money, and this uncle is too crazy!
"Hahaha, don't worry, we will pay for the money. If you have this time, why not take a look at what is written in the comics!"

Seeing that Li Wannian failed to show off, Sawajiri Shi on the side held back his laughter and reminded the two lucky children.

At this time, the two Saishi Kishimoto brothers looked at the title page of the comic in their hands, and saw it read: I wish Saishi Kishimoto a good cartoonist in the future! --Long live.

"Long live!"

When they saw the payment, the two brothers raised their heads in surprise, only to find that Li Wannian and the others had already arrived at the cashier. After paying, they quickly disappeared from their sight.

The two people who were in shock couldn't help but glance at each other, and both saw the surprise hidden in each other's eyes.
