Chapter 631: Invitation to JUMC's Annual Meeting

"I don't know what's going on with Kurokawa-sensei's manga reference book..."

Iwamoto Yu recalled the situation of the reference book drawn by Liangyi and Mi himself when he saw it at the time, and said with some expectation, if that thing could be obtained in his hands.

It should be a great help for cartoonists.

Although everyone has their own painting habits and styles.

If you force the change, there will be problems.

But the one of Liangyi and Mi is different... that one is just like a reference book.

With that, it’s like drawing a sketch of an apple and there’s really an apple in front of you, and there’s a certain difference between not having an apple and just relying on your own imagination...

For a real painter, perhaps imagination is more important.

Various abstract painting styles and the like, the appearance of real things will limit the imagination of the painter.

However, cartoonists still have some differences. For cartoonists...

Imagination is important.

Authenticity is also important.

[People who are looking for a sense of reality in the virtual world must have brain problems] and [I just want to find a sense of reality in the virtual world] These two sentences should be correct.

Since it is a manga, it is not reality. Of course, there must be a sense of illusion different from reality.

Therefore, the sentence [those who are looking for a sense of reality in the virtual world must have brain problems] is correct. It is a different world in itself, a two-dimensional and a three-dimensional. How could it be the same.

However, at the same time, if it is too virtual, there will be a very floating feeling, and readers will see something wrong at a glance. There are not many cartoonists who have suffered from this point. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with [I just want to find a sense of reality in the virtual world].

Fantasy and reality need to be combined with each other. As for which aspect accounts for a greater proportion, these are the different styles of each person.

If the reference books of Liangyi and Mi can be used by others...

For the control of fantasy and reality, there must be a further breakthrough.

Without thinking about it, Iwamoto Yu called another manga artist under him.

…

rustle—

The brush strokes lightly across the white paper, outlining new characters and landscapes.

And... fight!

The manga of [Holy Grail War] has been serialized for more than a year, and this manga is also approaching the climax of the plot. There is nothing unexpected, but there is nothing wrong with it either.

The only thing that can be regarded as a breakthrough point is that it also explained part of the settings in the comic world, and at the same time focused on describing the battle of the magician.

Um...

Because Liangyi and Mi followed up and gave her a part of the setting.

It is said that the setting is actually some common sense in the current Magic Association, and some magic skills...

As long as it is something that a properly trained magician knows...

In the clock tower it is common sense among common sense—

But the average person doesn't know these things, so the common sense seems pretty interesting.

"beep--"

"Phone?" Putting down the paintbrush in his hand, he shook his hand. The woman with the pseudonym [Takako] who was drawing manga picked up the phone: "Hello, this is..."

"Is it Teacher Takako?"

"Huh? Ah...Mr. Iwamoto?" Takako asked in a daze.

"Yes." Yuu Iwamoto looked at Xiaozheng in the new issue and said, "I want to tell you about the JUMC annual meeting this time, do you have time to attend?"

"Annual meeting?" Duojiazi, who draws manga, was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up: "It was the one last year...Only manga artists serialized on JUMC can participate?"

"That's right... But this year is a bit special." Iwamoto Yu said with a smile: "This year, apart from the manga artists who are serializing, there are also some [candidates] who are allowed to participate. Of course, they cannot participate in the lottery. But it doesn't matter to you, right? You have been serialized on JUMC for more than a year, and this is the second [veteran] manga artist participating in the annual meeting!"

"Is...is it? I'm already a [veteran] manga artist?"

"Yes, that's right!" Iwamoto Yu said in agreement, it can't be done otherwise, this [Duo Jiazi] doesn't know why he seems to have no confidence in himself, so he needs to agree.

And... more participation in annual meetings like JUMC can also increase her self-confidence.

"So, Mr. Iwamoto, if I finish this [Holy Grail War], is it possible for the new serial manga to be serialized by JUMC?"

"Huh? This..." Iwamoto Yu thought for a while, this kind of thing can't be said lightly...

"If you think about it carefully, your artist has already been qualified, as well as the rhythm and storyboard. The only thing left is the story, but the story is the most difficult to figure out. Whether you can come up with an interesting story is also a question. Unknown. So...that's something I can't say."

"Yes, I understand."

"Do you want some information about these, maybe you will meet the big guys in the industry."

"Oh...by the way, can Mr. Kurokawa see it?" Duojiazi asked quickly: "Then...that, yes! I have always admired Mr. Kurokawa! So...so I want to Learn about!"

"So that's the case, but if there are no accidents, this matter can't be done." Iwamoto Yuu nodded in understanding and then replied, after all, did you get the subject matter from Liangyi and Mi? It's normal to admire it.

"Ms. Kurokawa is also very busy recently, and I don't have time to attend the annual meeting of JUMC... There is no other way."

"Busy? What are you busy with?" Duojiazi was a little confused. In her impression, Liangyi and Mi should be the kind of super-powerful people—seriously serializing three comics at the same time in JUMC, a stressful place!

And each of them is a well-received cartoon—

And it breaks the pattern of Japanese comics and sells JUMC overseas! Especially the sales volume in Europe is higher than that in Japan!

What is such a person busy with?

"I'm married." Iwamoto Yuu smiled: "Mr. Kurokawa is going to marry a local rich family, a very old one, so it should be very troublesome, all kinds of things..."

"Alas? Alas, alas, alas?? Married??? So early??"
