My girlfriend is Kusunoko Saiki

But comics are different. Anyone is qualified to draw a comic.

No matter how bad your painting is, as long as you have good ideas and plot, then you have a chance of success.

The one who guided Naoto to become a cartoonist was the famous ONE.

Even though the drawing looked like a rough draft, he was deeply fascinated by the wild imagination and the profound writing style.

Moreover, although this Neon looked roughly the same as the one he was familiar with, it lacked many excellent works.

More than just comics.

Starting from literature, paintings, TV dramas, and movies, many well-known works are missing in all walks of life.

For him, this is actually an opportunity for success.

However, as a straight person who used to study traditional art, how could he know the techniques of drawing comics?

Take for example those well-known works, One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, this series of works has been serialized for more than ten years. You may be able to persist in drawing one or two chapters, but if you want to serialize it for a long time, it is not as simple as just thinking of it.

Fortunately, as a comics fan, Naoto remembers the plots of many excellent works.

He can easily recite the plots of comics that will be popular in the future, such as Attack on Titan, Ghoul, and Demon Slayer.

"Well, if you want to make money, then the first choice is definitely JUMP. But if it's JUMP, some horror works can't be chosen."

At this time, Naoto thought carefully and decided to eliminate some options first.

First of all, horror and adult comics are definitely not allowed. This kind of comics are really not popular in JUMP, and they can't even be serialized, so the famous "The Ring" and "Tomie" and the like are all PASSED.

As for the future comics that are very popular in Japan, I will have to put them aside for now. After all, I have just debuted and there is no need to waste those good works. Otherwise, it would be a sin if they were ruined.

After thinking about it for a while, Naoto turned his attention to the old Chinese animation.

Back then, Chinese animation also had a long and glorious history. In Naoto's opinion, the excitement of Chinese animation is no less than that of Japanese animation.

For example, The Legend of Luo Xiaohei, Peking Opera Cats, Kuiba, Assassin Wu Liuqi. These were all the former leaders of Chinese comics.

It must be in line with the characteristics of JUMP and have a good-looking comic. Finally, Naoto thought of a work, which was "Blood" by Mr. Io.

Speaking of this work by Mr. Io, it was one of Naoto's favorites at the time. In the comic world at that time, Naoto's favorites were Instant Noodle Man and Vampire.

The story of the middle school boy's continuous growth during his exile with the vampire is simply addictive. To this day, he still regrets not being able to see the final ending.

It’s just a pity that due to the contract, Mr. Aiou lost the creative rights for Blood Clan. All the subsequent comics failed to reach the heights of Blood Clan. Even most of the comics ended before they even began.

But to this day, in Naoto's eyes, this comic is still a god-level existence.

Now that the subject matter of the comic has been determined, let’s just get started.

Naoto picked up the paintbrush and carefully made revisions on the comic draft paper.

For some reason, his originally unfamiliar arms seemed particularly dexterous at this moment.

"It's amazing. Could this be the power of the system?"

After repeatedly watching and studying, and displaying the images in his memory, beautiful pictures appeared on Naoto's desk at an unimaginable speed.

With Naoto's full concentration on drawing, the first episode of Bloodline soon took shape.

In the following weeks, Naoto continued to improve the comics he drew.

Finally, one weekend, Naoto looked at the draft in his hand and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew, I'm pretty awesome."

The moment Naoto stopped painting, a feeling of exhaustion quickly overwhelmed him.

After being busy for several weeks, Naoto finally collapsed.

Chapter 3: Three major publishing houses in Japan

"Knock knock knock."

Outside Naoto's door, Kusunoki knocked on it.

In the past few days, Naoto would stay in his room when he got home, not going out of the door, which made Nan Zi think that he was depressed and did something illegal.

However, according to Kusunoki's observation, Naoto just sat at the desk writing and drawing every day, and no one knew what he was doing.

After being curious for so long, Nan Zi finally decided to visit her childhood sweetheart and see what he was doing.

"Knock knock knock."

When the door was knocked again, still no one in the room opened it.

At this time, most people would probably think that the person in the house must have gone out for something.

But who is Nan Zi?

Nan Zi just glanced upwards and clearly saw where Naoto was.

Then, the next moment, Kusunoki appeared behind Naoto. The whole process took place without any hindrance at all.

"This guy actually fell asleep?"

Nan Zi looked at Naoto, who was fast asleep on the table, and was speechless.

I was so worried about this guy, but he just fell asleep on the table?

"Guhehe~ Nanzi, hehehe."

When Naoto was sleeping, he not only drooled all over the table, but also kept mumbling Kusunoki's name. No one knew what he was dreaming about.

Anyway, Nan Zi has no interest in seeing this guy's dream.

"You're already so old, but you don't even know to cover yourself with a blanket when you fall asleep. Also, the air conditioning in this room is turned on too high."

Nan Zi looked at Naoto with a headache. He was obviously the head of the family, but he still behaved like a child, which made people worried.

Just when Nansuko covered Naoto with his quilt, she suddenly saw the comic drafts on Naoto's desk.

"What is this? A comic?"

After seeing the things on the table, Nan Zi, a die-hard fan of comics, was immediately attracted.

The girl on the cover, who looked like an elf under the moon, standing on top of a tall building, as if she would jump down at any time, made Nan Zi unable to take her eyes off her.

Just looking at the person on the cover, it feels like I’m standing on top of a tall building. When did Naoto’s painting skills become so good?

Kusunoki naturally knew that her childhood sweetheart had a dream of becoming a cartoonist.

But, to be honest, the comics that Naoto drew back then were even uglier than a child's scribbles.

That kind of thing, let alone Nan Zi, even he himself couldn't bear to watch it.

However, the comics drawn by Naoto today can only be described as exquisite.

At this time, Nan Zi looked at Naoto in confusion, but found that Naoto was still asleep and had not woken up. He kept muttering: Nan Zi, I must become the strongest cartoonist in Japan, and then... Aba Aba Aba.

"This idiot, has he been drawing comics recently?"

Of course, Kusunoki knew about Naoto's current situation.

But she didn't expect that Naoto actually planned to solve the problem by drawing comics.

At the same time, Nan Zi also knows how difficult it is to become a professional cartoonist. Can this idiot really do it?

However, Nan Zi looked at the comic in her hand again and finally softened her heart.

Naoto has been mentally unstable since his parents died. He finally has a little hope and can do what he wants.

I should help my childhood sweetheart.

As she said that, Nan Zi put the comic book in her hand into an envelope, preparing to give it to her father in the evening.

When talking about Kusunoki's father, we have to mention the three major publishing houses in the Japanese comics industry.

Before Yamashita Naoto traveled through time, the publishing houses in Japan might have been Shueisha, Kodansha, and Shogakukan, three publishing houses known as the "Three Major Manga Companies."

As for why Shueisha, Kodansha, and Shogakukan are only specifically referred to as the "three major publishing houses" of the "manga" type of magazine?

This is because it is impossible for Neon Publishing House to rely solely on "comic magazine publishing" to maintain the operation of the entire publishing house. In order to obtain more profits, the "Three Major Comics Publishing Houses" will not only publish comic magazines, but also publish other types of books.

For example, Japan's Shogakukan in its previous life was a publishing house that made profits mainly by publishing educational books for elementary school students, and comic publishing could only be said to be one of the channels for making profits.

If we take into account other things, such as light novels, traditional literature and the like, the three major publishing houses are not that impressive.

But even so, there is no doubt that the three major publishing houses are still giants. At their peak, the strength of the three major publishing houses was definitely that of industry giants.

In the original story of The Disaster of Saiki K., Saiki K.'s father was just an editor of a small comic publishing house, and the comics he published were not famous at all.

But in this time and space, Kusunoki's father is a real, famous editor of "Weekly Shonen Jump".

He even served as the editor-in-chief for popular comics such as "One Piece", "Gourmet Hunter" and "Gintama" for a period of time.

It’s strange that many literary works have disappeared, but some world-class IPs are still active on JUMP, and only JUMP is like this. This world is really strange.

Just like that, Kusunoki quietly left the room, leaving Naoto alone in the room.

Naoto didn't notice anything unusual until Kusunoko left.

In his dreams, every comic he drew was a big hit, and some even became textbook-level comics in Japan.

There are so many commercial activities and news about animation coming out.

In the end, he and Nan Zi walked into the marriage hall together and even had two lovely children.

Just like that, when Naoto woke up, the sky outside had become dark.

"Huh? Quilt? Where's my comic?!"

Naoto woke up and looked at the quilt on himself in confusion. Was this thing there when he was sleeping?

But when he looked again, he found that the comic book he had drawn had disappeared.

Only one note fell from the table and caught Naoto's attention.

"I'll take the comics. I'll show them to my dad later. Please take care of yourself. The air conditioner is too low. - Nan Ziru."

After seeing the contents on the piece of paper, Naoto, who was still not fully awake, became even more confused.

Am I dreaming?

Chapter 4: The Stunning Blood Clan

"I am back."

In the evening, after working all day, Kusunoki's father, Saiki Kuniharu, finally returned home with a tired body.

Come to think of it, it is obvious that the Kusunoki family could easily become one of the richest people in Japan or even the world.

But Nanzi's father, Kuniharu, would rather work hard every day than use his children's power to make his family wealthy.

Maybe this is the lifestyle of an open-minded person. Or maybe it's simply because his family is already very rich and he doesn't need extra money to do these things.

"Welcome back, Dad."

Kurumi Saiki, Kuniharu's wife, handed a cool towel to her husband who had a hard day.

"Huh~ Alive."

Feeling the cool touch of the towel, Father Saiki felt like he was alive again.

"Ha~"

"Dad, what happened?"

When the family was sitting at the dining table, Saiki Kuniharu couldn't help but sigh. Even though it was the meal prepared by his wife, he didn't even have the desire to eat a bite.

Regarding this situation, Qi Mu's mother couldn't help but ask her husband.

"Ha~ Nothing, it's just that recently... that guy Hattori seems to have a very powerful group of cartoonists under his command, so I feel a little stressed out."

As an editor at JUMP, my work is extremely hard.

Don’t think that cartoonists are the only ones who work hard at JUMP. In fact, editors, in addition to their own performance evaluations, are often responsible for many, many things.

For example, if anything happens to the cartoonists under their command, they will be the first to go and resolve the problem.

Even when the submission of manuscripts is delayed, they still have to contact the printing factory under pressure. If they are not careful, they may face a work crisis.

It is also a very honorable thing for an editor to have an outstanding cartoonist under his command. The more famous the cartoonist is, the higher the editor's status will be in the workplace.

"A great group of cartoonists?"
