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

"Are you kidding me, can you really hear me saying these words in my mind -"

"I really can't hear it."

Mochizuki nodded quite honestly:

"But it doesn't matter, I can sense it—because we're slothfish, right?"

"........."

After the boy finished speaking, the expression of the silver-haired girl in the wheelchair suddenly froze.

The roots of her ears slowly became hot, and her cheeks turned red... The girl, who was vaguely at a loss what to do, felt sourness in her nose unconsciously.

"...Are you really willing to stay with me all the time?"

Thinking of the last year of contact between herself and the boy, and knowing that the boy was about to leave Toyama Prefecture and go to the big stage of Tokyo, the girl who had always felt that she was not qualified to be by Mochizuki's side spoke in an unprecedentedly timid voice:

"I...maybe my singing skills are not enough, even you can't help me - you have to promise that even if you do this, you won't regret it!"

Ambiguous words hide too many emotions.

Looking at Kurihara's mother with her head drooping, Mochizuki didn't say much, but just stretched out her finger:

"If you're afraid that I'll regret it, just pull the hook."

"...It's just a child's trick, I don't believe it."

Facing Mochizuki's words, Kurihara Saki actually didn't take it seriously——

However, remembering that Kasumi Takegami also held hands with Mochizuki, the girl's inexplicable thoughts also emerged...

then.

Fingers hooked together.

The young man's voice slowly sounded:

"Let's continue to be together until we get to the Tokyo Dome... You should also try your best to get into a university in Tokyo, otherwise I will have to take a train to find you."

"...Okay, okay."

It was completely unexpected that Mochizuki Ri would speak like this. Kurihara Saki, who had been forcing himself to keep his spirits up and control his emotions, was completely swallowed up by the surging emotions——

He casually wiped the mist from the corner of his eyes, and the girl's last cowardice disappeared.

At this point, time flies by.

The scope of the glow slowly shrank, and the color gradually became lighter, from purple to deep red, from deep red to pink, from pink to light red, and finally disappeared.

The sky has long shown a deep and mysterious darkness, and the pure white softness floating in the sky is gradually tinged with pure black at this moment——

For a long time, the boy and girl just stood next to each other and began to chat about the past and the future, and their thoughts drifted to Tokyo thousands of miles away.

"Martial arts club? You can break it with a snap of your fingers. We'll be able to join it as soon as we go to college."

"Red and White Song Contest? No problem. Let's ask our respective idols for their autographs together then, shall we?"

"Tokyo Dome...try your best to climb in before you turn 20, so you will have no regrets in your life."

Tokyo in the fantasy world is so beautiful that people are fascinated by it: there are no bustling and decadent streets, no short skirts swaying in the wind, no dance floors with sensual dogs and horses, and there are no splendid companies and well-dressed liars, deceitful neighbors, and the indiscriminate use of money. The younger brothers - some, just the partners who were blowing together on the unknown man-made coast, laughing and cursing in the evening breeze.

They found each other and treasured each other.

ps: Please tell me about the blade and the ticket?????

77.Teen Jump will welcome back their emperor

The sky is dawning, and the morning light is shining slightly.

Orange light diffused across the skyline, the shadows of the trees swayed in the winter wind, and the first snow blurred the streetscape of the town. There was peace in all directions, without any hustle and bustle.

Call ~

Opening the curtains and lifting the window lattice, feeling the cold breeze, the young man immediately closed the doors and windows tightly and put on some thick clothes for himself.

It's early morning on Monday...according to time, I will be going to school soon.

....... Yesterday was really strange. I talked about future things with Kurihara Saki at the artificial beach not far away, and also walked with her for such a long time. I really felt like going out with my sister. A feeling of relaxation.

....... She behaves like a young mother on weekdays, but at some important moments, the girl Saki Kurihara shows a little bit of cowardice?

Maybe girls are like this. Even if they appear so clearly to the outside world, they still have some little thoughts in their hearts that few people know about.

"...Of course, no matter what, the new song is really good."

Gently sliding the "ごはんを食べよう" (Let's eat together) that Saki Kurihara sent to him, Mochizuki's expression showed a faint clarity.

Such tender lyrics could only be written by that girl who has always been serious about words, right?

........I hope everyone will be satisfied with the music release on Christmas Day.

The young man clasped his hands together with a pious expression.

At this point, the young man's thoughts had fallen into silence.

"...Okay, it's time to go to school."

After all, he is still an ordinary high school student. Even if he has copywriting power and his own career, Mochizuki still can't lose his job——

So, after tying his tie, putting on his crossbody bag, and picking up the milk, the boy put on his sneakers and was ready to go out.

.......Although I wanted to express my feelings yesterday, time flies so fast, and it’s winter in the blink of an eye.

Looking out the window at the snow falling in the sky, and seeing the Kurihara family's Toyota Century driving out of a residential building, Mochizuki patted his somewhat worried face and slowly cheered up——

And just when the boy was about to leave, the phone rang at this moment.

"......?"

The jingle rang, and Mochizuki, who rarely received calls from others on weekdays and almost only stayed in his own den, looked a little dull.

........However, the embarrassment is temporary.

The young man who glanced at the phone number for a moment and roughly understood something, also answered the call at this moment.

"...Hello, Takegami-sensei?"

"it's me."

A nasal voice came from the other end of the phone:

"How's it going? Are you out?"

"...I was just getting ready to go out, what's wrong?"

The boy who received the usual phone call from Teacher Dog Eyes also had a somewhat surprised expression.

Before Mochizuki could react, Kasumi Takegami's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Nothing, I just wanted to say that what a coincidence, I changed my route today and it is said that I will pass by your house - since you didn't go out, why don't you go to school with me?"

"...Eh, is that so?"

Hearing the voice of the young president with dog eyes coming from the other end of the phone, the boy's expression changed slightly:

"That's quite a coincidence. After all, I've never seen Mr. Takegami come to and from school before."

"Okay... This new route is quite good. Maybe we will follow this route in the future - how about it? Do you mind going to school with me?"

"Of course I don't mind."

Without any hesitation, Mochizuki nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'm almost downstairs at your house - just stay with me today, okay?"

"No problem. Mr. Takegami's call came at the right time. After all, I just got up and I haven't even eaten the bread for breakfast."

"...Mochizuki-san, why did you get up so late?"

"Of course, people often say that I have the sleep quality of a baby."

"...Are you laughing at me for occasionally being so tired that I feel dizzy and want to sleep so much?"

"Teacher, you think too much. When will the disciples get angry with you?"

"That's not true. After all, you have always enslaved me as a teacher..."

The voice of the girl with dog eyes was soft and seemed to have some special feeling:

"Okay, the joke ends here... Mochizuki-san, it's time for you to go downstairs."

"right away."

"You better be on time..."

"Uh-huh."

As a close disciple of Takegami Kasumi, the boy naturally listened to his teacher's words - he put on his winter coat and sneakers, closed the door, took the elevator, and stepped on the streets hazy with snowflakes.

The winter in the town is sky blue, like the hazy and soft sea.

Crossing his wrist to check the time, Mochizuki raised his ears and seemed to hear the sound of a pulley rolling——

Ever since, the young man deliberately stepped on the spot, started to unlock the car, and pushed his exclusive mount Blue Enchantress out of the bicycle shed.

The next moment, the gloomy boy and the girl with dog eyes bumped into each other.

"...Oh, what a coincidence."

Gently stroking the street light next to him, he braked directly. Kasumi Takegami, who was wearing a white cat helmet, looked at the boy pushing the blue enchantress in front of him, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"You're really not late...for a moment."

"...Look, I said it was on time."

Seeing the dog-eyed young president on a pulley, wearing a winter school uniform and thick black pantyhose, parked on the side of the road, Mochizuki finally put down the phone and hung up, with a slightly proud expression on his face, quite like an elementary school student. Boys show off like their elders.

"You are really an expert at spotting~"

Looking at Mochizuki, who was pushing the blue enchantress in front of her, a faint smile appeared in the dog-eyed girl's brows:

"I feel like you're in a pretty good mood today, and you're quite energetic... Is it because "Chainsaw Man" is about to be serialized, so you're in a happy mood?"

"It feels a bit like this."

"I knew it......."

After hearing the boy's words, the little teacher with dog eyes lifted up his slightly curled short hair and made an invitation:

"Okay, you can be appropriately proud, but don't forget to perfect the Chainsaw Man."

"no problem."

Gently making an "ok" gesture, Mochizuki's voice was quite clear, and her expression was full of understanding:

"Aren't there club activities today... Let's talk about "Chainsaw Man" alone."

"No problem, it's settled."

The girl with dog eyes saluted gently, her furry eyes sparkling:

"Please, Mochizuki-san."

"It's okay. Before sending the manuscript to the editor, let's work hard to complete more details."

At this point, the boy stepped on the blue enchantress, Kasumi Takegami stepped on the pulley, and their figures gradually disappeared at the end of the road.

Speaking of the well-deserved leader in the world of shounen comics, almost everyone will immediately think of "Shounen Jump", a giant ship that has been sailing on the sea of ​​comics since the 60s.

Since 1968, for only 90 yen (now it has increased to 250 yen), any ordinary citizen can buy a book full of comics by countless cartoonists and comics in any convenience store on the streets of Japan. "Shounen JUMP" magazine, the hard work of editors and printers, has fallen into a fantasy world where dreams are intertwined one after another——

Over fifty years later, "Shounen Jump" has cultivated many great gods such as Akira Toriyama, Takehiko Inoue, and Eiichiro Oda, and has given birth to "Saint Seiya", "Dragon Ball", "Slam Dunk", "Yu Yu Hakusho" and "One Piece" The platform for popular works such as "Hunter", "Naruto", "Bleach" and "Gintama" is now well-known in the global comic magazine industry.In the eyes of many fans and even laymen who are less exposed to otaku culture, "Shounen Manga = Shonen Jump" is a common sense equation. This also confirms that "Shounen Jump" has broken through the small circle subculture and truly become a A living totem that fully represents the spirit of shonen comics.

When the first-generation editor-in-chief Nagano Noriki led the young editorial team to resist the pressure of the parent company Shogakukan and enthusiastically established a planning department with pirates as the logo at Shueisha, I wonder if they could have imagined that they would later create a single in 1995. A glorious history with a circulation of 653 million copies?

"Dragon Ball" author Akira Toriyama left a message at the end of the 50th anniversary issue: "This is my second hometown."

Togashi, a genius who doesn’t like to get together and spends many years in the editorial department, also said in the interview that it is in perfect harmony with what he yearns for. “It is an irreplaceable place and I want to stay and play there all the time.”

——This is the unparalleled charm of "Shounen Jump".

Born from the cracks, he sailed in the blue ocean, and eventually became a famous "pirate" in the comics industry, cultivating countless monster-level cartoonists... This legendary comic weekly has gone through decades and has set a record Incredible achievement.Although some of the systems of "Shounen Jump" that influence the author's creation have been controversial, all the younger generation of shounen cartoonists understand very well: "Shounen Jump" is the destination of their dreams and the place where their dreams come true.
