My girlfriend is Kusunoko Saiki

"An author who draws boys' comics actually draws food comics?"

Don't blame these editors for making a fuss. After all, most cartoonists will not choose other subjects to create after finishing a comic. It's okay for short story cartoonists, but when it comes to long stories, it's really hard to find many who would change the subject.

There are even fewer people like Naoto who went directly from boys' comics to food comics.

What on earth is this doing? Is this really okay?

Just when everyone wanted to say a few words to refute, they found that the deputy editor-in-chief opened the next manuscript without saying a word.

Within a minute, all the editors shut up.

The content of the first episode of Chung Hakuban is also very simple.

Apart from some settings, it is nothing more than the story of the young chef from Juxialou who worked with his sister to drive away his former senior brother Shaoan.

Juxialou, which was once the best in Sichuan, has never recovered since the death of Fairy Bei.

Shaoan, who once was a disciple of Fairy Bei, now wants to seize Juxialou and become the master of it.

Thanks to the help of Admiral Li, Xiao Dajia was able to have the opportunity to compete with his senior brother. In the end, he defeated Shaoan with a magical mapo tofu and finally saved Ju Xialou.

Although the story is set in China, it is not so incomprehensible to Japanese people. Moreover, rather than saying that Chunghwa Busan is a food manga, it is more like a shonen manga that combines food and adventure, except that the fighting method has changed from traditional fighting to cooking.

"Gululu~"

After reading the comics, the editors' first reaction was that they felt hungry.

"Wait, why am I hungry now after just eating?"

"Just now, I seemed to smell the aroma of Mapo Tofu. The spicy and unbridled taste of the beef bursting in my mouth. Why is it so real?"

"No, I'm so hungry, I really want to eat now!"

"Damn it! Mapo Tofu, I want to eat it so much! Is there any Chinese restaurant nearby?"

Hearing the wailing of the editors around him, the deputy editor-in-chief was also having a hard time.

The spicy and fragrant smell seemed to be really surrounding his nose.

The sound of frying in the iron pan, the aroma when the food comes out of the pan, and the taste of the food when it enters your mouth all seem so real.

Fortunately, the editors nearby were all suffering from hunger, otherwise, it would be embarrassing if he felt hungry.

At this time, the deputy editor no longer hesitated and took the manuscript directly into the editor-in-chief's office. This kind of comic is simply amazing!

Chapter 30: Jump of the Fight between Dragon and Tiger

In the editor-in-chief's office, the editor-in-chief looked at the comics on the table without saying a word.

To be honest, although he asked Naoto to draw a new comic, he never expected that Naoto could actually draw an excellent comic.

The comics of many cartoonists are actually accidental. After the first one becomes popular, the subsequent comics may become mediocre and become clichéd.

For example, the famous Kishimoto also published several comics after the end of Naruto, but they were basically uninteresting. There are many more like this.

For a high school cartoonist like Naoto, whose first comic is so popular, the subsequent comics should be less popular. However, what was unexpected was that the work submitted by Naoto this time was of such high quality.

Just the first episode is enough to arouse great interest.

Although there is no fighting, the passion that only comes from free fighting is revealed everywhere.

Moreover, the background of the story is even in that Western superpower. In recent years, as that Western superpower has become increasingly powerful, the number of people who love that country has continued to rise.

I have to say this move was really brilliant.

Especially the last part about cooking and commenting, even just watching it makes me hungry.

I felt so hungry, as if I hadn't eaten for weeks, and I couldn't wait to go to the Chinese Food Street to have a big meal.

From a purely visual point of view, the editor's approval of this book is even higher than that of Bloodline. When the editor thinks that this book will eventually be published monthly, his heart is bleeding.

If this were published in a weekly magazine, it would definitely be a huge hit. It might even replace the soon-to-be-completed Food Prisoners and become a more classic food comic.

The editor-in-chief even had the urge to exchange the vampires with the monthly magazine.

But after thinking about it carefully, forget it.

After all, the editor still remembers the incident of Uncle Supreme vividly. In his mind, probably nothing is more important than the cartoonist himself.

Although he was reluctant to give up this comic, since it was already decided, he would not regret it.

Besides, this time it’s not just this comic that’s taking on the challenge.

At this time, the editor picked up two other comic manuscripts on the table.

One of them is a work written by the Yacheng Mumengye group, "This World Relies on Money and Wisdom."

It boldly uses money and wisdom as the theme, and embodies the plot in which various dark sides fight wits and courage with the protagonist. It can be said to be a model of evil comics.

Maybe the two children themselves are not aware of this, but this unique comic is indeed very distinctive and may attract many readers who like this type of comic.

The other one is Eiji Niizuma’s manga, “CROW”.

This comic about Crow and Yagi Mumenha is at the other extreme.

Wild imagination, unique development style, and skillful and unique painting style.

It’s hard to imagine that this is a comic by a fifteen-year-old boy, but this manuscript alone is second only to Naoto’s Bloodline.

It turns out that Eiji Niizuma is capable.

If it weren't for Naoto, this comic alone would be able to beat all the current works except for Vampire.

Whether it is Yajo Mumengye who leads the way with evil ways, the god-like ONE, or the genius Niizuma Eiji, the battle between these three is absolutely exciting.

The next weekly magazine will probably be very interesting.

At this time, outside the editor-in-chief's office, the new wife's editor Hattori Kumajiro, Saiki's father, and Yajo Mumenye's editor Hattori Tetsu were all waiting outside the door for news from the editor-in-chief.

The three of them stared at each other, their eyes filled with a strong sense of vigilance.

No one cared too much about this serialization. After all, when the comic was released, Naoto had already said that he did not want to serialize it in a weekly magazine, so the two serialization positions would definitely go to Nizuma and Takami.

But why do the three of them still hate each other? The fundamental reason is still because of that privilege.

For these three editors, they naturally knew that even if they obtained that privilege, it was something dispensable.

But getting that privilege also means becoming the number one new pillar of JUMP.

This kind of thing is not as simple as it sounds.

Being number one is an honor. Even if your comic is no longer popular in the future, you will be allowed to continue serializing it. Even if it is published in a lower-level publication, it is still impressive enough.

Moreover, for the editors, having such talented cartoonists under them will definitely make them senior leaders in the future.

While being wary of each other, the three were also busy sending messages to their own comic book authors, telling them information about other people's works.

The three of them naturally know their own authors very well. Except for the two works by Saiki's father, they were all read by the two of them personally and reviewed them repeatedly before sending them over, so they are very confident in the works.

But as the saying goes, although they are confident, the other people are also very powerful, and the three of them are naturally very clear about this.

Especially after watching Naoto's Chuuka Ichiban, the two Hattori editors were a little nervous.

(One teacher's work is so amazing, it is very likely to win first place this time.)

(We must remind Souma and Akito as soon as possible, be careful of Teacher ONE!)

Soon, Yacheng Mu Mengye and his new wife received news from the editors.

When they saw that Naoto was planning to draw a food comic, the three of them were a little confused.

"Naoto-san is actually going to draw a food comic? Really? Why?"

"Maybe Naoto-san wants to challenge himself, but the scope of a food comic is too big."

"It's hard to say, but editor Hattori said this comic is very powerful, maybe even stronger than the vampires."

"Then we can't admit defeat! This time, no matter what, we have to defeat Naoto-san and that weirdo!"

"Oh!"

After Souichi and Akito received the news, they were worried but also excited.

But compared to these two people, the new wife was just excited.

"A food comic?! It's not a battle-focused comic like Prisoners of Food! You are worthy of being Teacher ONE! It's so exciting! Leaving your own comfort zone and constantly opening up your own comic path, you are worthy of being my opponent!"

Eiji Nijima repeatedly looked at the messages on his mobile phone and rolled back and forth on the tatami.

"I can't wait, I want to read it so badly! ONE teacher's food comics! I want to read it now!!!"

At this time, Eiji Nijima couldn't wait to read the comics drawn by Naoto.

And just like that, amid the anticipation of several people, JUMP finally arrived at its release date.

Chapter 31: The Poisonous Chinese Master

Early Monday morning, Mary was already dressed and ready to open the store.

As usual, Meili planned to go to the restaurant to clean it. Although no one usually visited there, cleanliness was the first priority for a restaurant, wasn't it? The food could be unpalatable, but it had to be clean. This was what Meili's mother told her.

However, this time when passing by a bookstore, Mary suddenly stopped.

"I remember Naoto said his comic will be out today. How about buying a copy and reading it?"

Mary hesitated for a while in the bookstore. Because she was not very fluent in Japanese, she didn't like reading comics very much.

But when she thought about what Naoto said last time about giving their store free publicity, Mary still bought a copy of JUMP to take a look.

"Naoto's pen name is ONE? Huh? That's the first one?"

Meili opened the first page of the comic and saw Naoto's Chinese Comic No. 1.

The thirteen-year-old little chef was holding kitchen utensils and preparing dishes attentively in a bustling scene. His serious eyes made Meili realize that he was exactly the same as Boss Liu.

"Is this a comic based on our store? The main character is too young."

Can a boy who is only thirteen years old become a chef?

Although Mary hasn't read many comics, she still knows a lot about chefs.

At the age of thirteen, he can’t even put the pot together, and he wants to be the chef?

At the same time, Souma, Akito, and Nizuma also got the latest issue of the comic.

When the three of them looked at the young protagonist, they still found it somewhat unbelievable.

That ONE actually started drawing food comics.

And is it really okay to have a child as the protagonist?

Although they were somewhat skeptical about Naoto's approach, none of them said anything.

No matter what, comics still have to win with their content. We can't judge a comic by current things.

As they read on, they were quickly attracted by the content of the comics.

At the beginning, everyone was still skeptical about whether a 13-year-old child could be a chef or the protagonist of a comic book. After all, this is not a Pokémon trainer, and a teenager can travel around the world.

But they soon found out that they were overthinking.

The young chef Liu Angxing's wild imagination and his character of never backing down even in desperate situations almost perfectly fit the style of the hot-blooded youth comics.

Moreover, this method of using food instead of fighting is even more eye-opening.

There was no fighting, no violence, but this victory was exciting.

When Shaoan thought he had secretly learned all of his master's cooking skills, he was ruthlessly slapped in the face by his master's son. This scene of a thirteen-year-old boy's counterattack makes people feel refreshed.

At the end, when the governor was eating the food prepared by the two people with big mouthfuls, the look as if he was tasting some unparalleled delicacy made people drool.

Every reader who has read this comic feels as if they have already smelled the aroma of the delicious food and felt the taste of it in their mouth.

Although I have never eaten this kind of thing, my brain has already begun to simulate the delicious taste.

Of course, it would be impossible to say that this comic is without flaws.

For example——

"Grumpy"

"Oh no, why do I feel so hungry?"

"Me too, Akito. I remember we had breakfast already."
