Society fears that young people don’t want to be literary godfathers

Handing a mutton skewer to his friend, Mochizuki said:

"It's really good that you like to watch "re0" - but after all, you don't have enough time to do all the work, and I hope you can understand my difficulties. If it doesn't work, it's not impossible for you to watch other contemporary meals, right? ?”

"......Meal Replacement?"

The voice was slightly startled, and Mr. Tsukawa Yuu, who had a frown on his face just now, also changed his expression accordingly:

"Is there any other works of the same type?"

"Of course...it just doesn't have to be a light novel."

After leaving these words, Mochizuki folded his hands in front of his chest:

"So, Teacher Dayu likes this kind of dark and incomplete works?"

"Nonsense, of course I like it... After all, there are very few comics and light novels of this style in our acg market here. Isn't it normal for entertainment products of this kind to be popular?"

After humming twice, Tsukawa Yu said deliberately:

"If it weren't for the fact that there were very few works with the style of "re0" on the market, I wouldn't have urged you to update it? Who cares about a light novel writer like you who is updating healthily?"

"...Okay, okay, I was wrong."

Mochizuki lowered his head like this and remained silent for a moment before continuing:

"I know you've been bored recently...but don't worry, I'll recommend you a very powerful dark and deep cartoon, I guarantee you'll enjoy it."

"......Really?"

Dayou's expression changed slightly, and then he sat up straight:

"Okay, I forgive you for the slow update - hurry up and give me some meal replacements!"

"Heh, you've asked the right person."

Seeing Fa Xiao's words, Mochizuki smiled slightly.

He turned sideways and took out a book from the mezzanine of the electric wheelchair:

"This is the masterpiece I recommend, would you like to take a look?"

"Hey, there really is."

As soon as he saw the curly-haired child, he really brought out a big treasure. Tsugawa Yuxi smiled brightly, and his whole expression became much kinder.

Until my eyes stopped on the comics.

Teacher Dayou's expression suddenly froze.

"..."Fire Fist"?"

..........

How would you rate All, the new-age cartoonist who serialized "Chainsaw Man" and "Fire Fist"?Perhaps quite a few people will give this answer in unison: He is a very, very free man.

He has something to say, can tell stories, is original, and has style... These seemingly personal characteristics mean that All has become a rare and valuable literary and artistic cartoonist who can sell well.

All is a comic who is very unique at heart.

Usually, there are several types of authors for fighting shounen comics:

One is a lively fight between a group of people, interspersed with passionate or touching scenes, with battles, characters, and emotions, but together it is neither a good story nor very empty.I can do Dragon Ball, but I can't compare to Akira Toriyama, a salesman who only wants to make big sales.

One is to focus on a clear theme or spirit at the beginning, and then expose it to the endless repetition of shallow and monotonous old tunes in the endless serialization, slowly exhausting the spirit of the work, and finally leading to a masochistic and enduring performance of desperate fatalism. Home.

One is a person who has faith in the theme and story, but lacks technical skills and is not favored by the market, or even if he gets attention, he is unable to fulfill his grand ambitions. In the end, the work either collapses or is a half-finished talent that is incomprehensible.

It is completely different from the above authors.

All's works have connotations that need to be read.

He has the ability to tell and control stories well, has excellent painting and storyboarding skills, and has a unique style and expression.

Looking at the literary and artistic character alone, the two long comics he serialized cannot be underestimated. The fantasy power and impact as decoration are even more eye-catching. The control over his own works allows him to become a free and true author. Conditions for him to cross further.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that "Chainsaw Man" and "Fist of Fire", two works filled with the personal characteristics of mental patients, have always been popular. Over time, they have developed an unprecedented charm and continue to attract new people. Readers enter that abstract and strange world and taste the absurd yet meaningful plot.

.........As a cartoonist, the best of all: Mr. Mochizuki Rito, there is no doubt that he is quite transcendent in the industry.

"........."

After reading the accompanying letter in the first single volume, and then looking at Mochizuki Ri beside him, Tsugawa Yu's expression became inexplicably abstract at this moment:

"...No, I'm here to urge you to update your light novels. Why are you backhand pushing me the comics you just serialized?"

"I can't help it. You asked me to recommend some comics or light novels with a more depressing and dark style... If you look at it this way, I feel that "Fire Fist" is not bad."

"...So you just lure readers of your light novels to comics? You know how to divert readers, right?"

"Hai, don't worry about it. After all, all three of my vests are connected to each other. I should try to let fans from different vests communicate with each other - this is called internal circulation. Isn't it cool?"

"?You're a fucking genius."

After watching "Chainsaw Man", Yu Tsukawa, who really didn't pay much attention to "Fist of Fire", was a little bit overwhelmed:

"I was still eating barbecue while writing this, and in the end, I became part of the internal loop of your vest fan?"

"Hai, I'm just recommending this book, don't think too much about it."

Seeing Teacher Dayu's subtle expression, Mochizuki handed him another grilled fish:

"We are all buddies. I recommend books purely out of friendship. Don't be so sensitive."

".......never mind."

Too lazy to continue fussing with this curly kid, Yuya Tsugawa just shook his head, and then opened "Fist of Fire":

"It's true that I haven't followed your new comics...let me see what weird things you have drawn."

ps: There is no Itagaki Keisuke in this world for her daughter. Whether Basuga can copy or not depends on the situation.

28. Agni in "Fist of Fire": the actor with the most painful jump

Although it may be too subjective to say this, Yu Tsugawa truly feels that "Fire Fist", the book he published as a child, is probably the worst shounen manga he has read in the past three years where the male protagonist has been messed up.

His whole body was burned by flames, and it took him many years just to adapt. He had tried his best to survive in this living hell, and the only hope for survival was revenge... Such unconventional tragedy It is indeed quite remarkable that the characters would appear in Shonen Jump, a leading comic magazine in the industry that always advocates passion and bonding.

Teacher Dayou is really numb.

He just watched helplessly as Agni let down his guard and knelt down helplessly on the ground, letting the flames burn him, showing a hideous expression of pain. He didn't know what to say.

"...Ali."

Not knowing what word to use to describe the best way to describe a child, Yu Tsukawa couldn't help but hold her chin and left these words:

"Are you really a bit of a tormentor? Why do you feel that you have become a different person since "One Punch Man" in the second year of high school? Your whole person has become hellish and absurd?"

"......Teacher Dayu, can't you accept such a plot?"

Mochizuki scratched his head for a while before showing an asymmetrical smile:

"Can't you stand this? What a bastard."

"You idiot... don't give me such disgusting lines, I'm going to puke."

Responding on the spot to a certain idiot with natural curly hair who was not in a normal state of mind, Yu Tsugawa said:

"I'm not saying that I can't accept your comics... I'm just saying that every time I see your protagonist so miserable, I feel a little uncomfortable - why do you have such a strong tendency to abuse the protagonist? Aren't you happy that the protagonist has made life worse than death?"

"...No."

Waving his hands gently, denying Fa Xiao's remarks about his tendency to abuse his master, Mochizuki's eyebrows turned slightly, and after a while, he snapped his fingers and replied:

"I just want to express the protagonist's mentality in an extreme environment."

"...A mentality for extreme environments?"

"Yes."

Nodding, Mochizuki's expression was quite serious:

"Think about it, Agni is on fire, isn't it? Isn't the pain obviously greater than yours?"

"...Nonsense, I wasn't burned."

"Then, when the protagonist suffers more than all of us, does his inner consciousness touch people's hearts even more?"

"........"

Hearing Mochizuki's unusual explanation, Yu Tsugawa was slightly startled, and his whole expression also underwent some subtle changes.

As if he was vaguely aware of something, he didn't say anything more, and just continued to put all his attention back on the Yan Fist comic.

......

Agni collapsed on the snow, rolling in pain.

The burning pain of the flames truly fell on his head... In front of this cursed karmic fire, this strong man, who was regarded as a god in the eyes of slaves, was clinging to the snow, all over his body. His muscles were trembling, and he was as helpless as a child.

..... You have to think of something to dilute the pain...

Gritting his teeth, Agni felt a heavy cold sweat rolling down his cheeks. In the back of his mind, the figure of the man who completely destroyed everything about him in the past appeared.

Dema...that culprit, kill him...

The desire for revenge continues to rise, and Agni attempts to fill his heart with hatred again, hoping that the pain of burning flesh and skin will no longer interfere with him——

However, it was also at the moment when he had been trying hard to get rid of the pain.

The sudden bullet shot through his head.

Raising his head...the man half-consciously discovered that Beshim Druk's soldiers were holding guns and surrounding him.

However, I am no longer able to resist...

Agni fell to the ground. When the soldiers saw that their plan had succeeded, they immediately rushed forward, ready to attack Sang who was awakened by the gunshot——

However, just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, a pair of burning hands grabbed the scarf of one of the soldiers in the next moment.

In an instant, with the sound of burning, the soldier who was caught in the scarf turned into charcoal at this moment and could not get up again!

"?!!"

Seeing the man who had clearly been shot through the head by a bullet but was still able to stand up and attack at this moment, the soldiers all froze on the spot. After a second or two, they continued to shoot at Agni.

However, such an attack is just an itch for Agni, who appears to be a blessinger of fire but is actually a regenerative physical warrior.

Raising his fist high, Agni transformed into a god of death and began to attack everyone in front of him crazily.

The pain gradually eased, and the burning feeling gradually became unperceivable... Whenever he beat others, or when his body was hit by bullets, Agni could feel that his soul had gained inexplicable satisfaction. Everyone seemed to have escaped from the sea of ​​suffering and fell into an extremely excited state!

Seeing that the burning monster killed several of his soldiers effortlessly, the leading captain shrank back in fear, and could only point his pistol at Sang, taking him as a hostage and ordering Agni to stop.

"........."

Seeing the captain's helplessness and desperate resistance, Agni himself was quite dull.

He didn't care about this situation. He just said calmly that he had nothing to do with the kid named Sang. If he wanted to kill him, he would kill him——

Of course...that's what it says.

In a daze, the weak and helpless Sang in Agni's eyes actually reminded him of his sister who had died in the fireworks.

Sang's tear-filled eyes overlapped with Luna's crying appearance... Agni's expression also froze.

And it was when the burning man made no expression and just looked at the two people in front of him quietly, Sang was also crying at this moment, thanking Agni for his life-saving grace in the past, and saying that he might be there soon. If you want to die, if possible, ask Agni to connect with your own part to live——

"........"

The moment I heard this sentence.

Agni's eyes, which had always seemed quite cold, were rarely shaken.

"Stay alive..."

"To live..."

Agni's eyes once again recalled the scene many years ago when he used his flaming fist to collide with Luna's little hand that was burned to coke.

"...Is it coming?"

When the comic plot progressed to this point, Teacher Dayou frowned slightly, and the image of Agni raising his flaming fist high and completely killing the man in front of him seemed to have emerged in his mind.
