Chapter 46: The situation in the last comic

It was a green man with a gun in each hand.

Is it still the painting style of this era, it looks very wonderful.

The fourth page is a big red man.

Red hair, red hair, and red cloak, muscular muscles are more of a feeling of this era than those in front.

Then, on the fifth page, there is a man with big eyeballs that can be described as weird.

On the sixth page, there are several people on this page, including men and women, old and young. But all of them were wrapped in black clothes with white skull-like masks, and their faces could not be seen clearly.

The seventh page is a figure covered in pitch-black armor.

There was still smoke all around.

Scroll down further.

For a moment - it suddenly became clear.

It is no longer a picture of a character from before.

In the black night, there is a dark hole in the sky, as if something is flowing out of it.

Below, is a red bridge that runs through the two places.

In the center of the picture, is a golden cup.

In the background, a white female figure can be vaguely seen, but this figure is too faint.

Then-

Those seven characters from before held their own weapons as if they were fighting inside!

The blond girl held the invisible wind in her hand, and there were golden ripples behind the blond man, as if something came out of it, and the green man pointed a yellow gun at the blond girl.

The big red man driving the bullock cart opened his mouth and laughed. The strange man with protruding eyes was holding a book in his hand, surrounded by black shadows, and in the sky, a man wrapped in pitch-black armor descended from the sky.

"Well, Mr. Kurokawa, who is the protagonist here?" Iwamoto Yu couldn't help asking when he saw this.

"No, there is no protagonist in this comic."

"Huh? No protagonist?"

"Yes, this time it's a group drama, don't worry about it so much, just read the plot of this comic carefully, and then express your own thoughts."

Iwamoto Yu was stunned for a moment, is it so strong?

Are you ready to write a group drama?

Even if he is good at drawing comics, it doesn't mean that his ability to tell stories has become so much stronger all of a sudden, right?

Avoid being slapped in the face...

He didn't say anything, he couldn't help but comfort himself in his heart, is he a genius after all...Maybe there is something unexpected.

But... Looking at the draft in front of him and the big English letters Fate/Zero on the next page, he lost the courage to open it... He didn't know if this was the progress of a genius, or The fall of genius.

In his opinion, Kurokawa and Ya keep the present and continue to draw JOJO, and draw the seventh, eighth, and ninth volumes... It’s good to just draw one.

It seems that the protagonist of each JOJO will be changed, so as to avoid the expansion of power, that is to say, as long as the story is told well and the stand-in ability is continuously set, it should be able to draw infinitely...

However, he is not like that.

Instead, we continue to create new comics.

The previous one was just...to be honest, in his opinion, the previous one was not as interesting as JOJO.

However, according to the style of painting, he can only judge that this is a work he is undergoing transformation and wants to surpass himself, so it’s okay if it’s not as good as JOJO, but... if next, the second and third are both If it's always been like this...

Ah, by the way, since the last one, he must have had the idea of ​​drawing group portraits, right?

Although the last comic "Battle Royale" had a clear protagonist, that is, the one who lived until the end and died, in fact, his portrayal is not much more than other people. It can also be said that it has the basis of group drama.

And now...

"What's wrong?" Kurokawa Kazuya asked looking at Iwamoto Yu who hadn't turned to the next page for a long time.

"No...that... By the way, I would like to tell you about the situation of the previous manga "Battle Royale" by the way, although it would be better to let the editor in charge of this come over, but... She asked me to come over and talk about it." Iwamoto Yu changed the subject.

"What happened to that comic?"

"Yes...that's how it is. Because of the content of that manga, the magazine has received a lot of complaints. That...even held a meeting, whether it should be cut in half or something."

"Well, I see."

"Hey? Aren't you surprised? It's so interesting..."

"It's like what you said." Kurokawa and Mi smiled: "Maybe the reason is too real... Such a thing is acceptable. Even if it is cut in half, I won't be surprised."

The big deal is to wait until the Internet is developed in the future and upload it to the Internet...

After all, I worked hard to draw it myself, so I can't waste it in vain.

Yu Iwamoto opened his mouth and swallowed what he wanted to say... Although part of the reason why the manga received complaints was because of the **** and violent content, but this is only a very small number.

Most of the reasons are actually...

Girls die too often.

Obviously, such lovely girls died so horribly... So the crowd became angry.

The magazine has received countless letters and threatening letters...even a blade...

Looking at the serious-looking Mr. Kurokawa in front of him, Iwamoto Yu even wondered if he had guessed this a long time ago, so he said, "You don't need to bring all the letters to him and handle them yourself." And the pen name above is not "Kurokawa Kazuya" but a new pen name, a single Chinese character "黑".

Too sinister, really too sinister.

Thinking about it, he suddenly shivered, looked at the sketch in front of him and said, "Um... are you going to send this as "Kurokawa Kazuya" or as "Black"?"

"Hmm... this is "black". After all, it feels too far away from the image of JOJO... As for whether it can be serialized, it doesn't matter where it is serialized."

Iwamoto Yuu was stunned.

Some mechanically looked down at the English letters of "Fate/Zero" above, and he suddenly had a bad feeling...

Shouldn't...

Could it be like the battle royale before... all the girls are dead?

He already felt a little scared, and now he became even more scared. He was afraid to open this drawing!

"Okay, it's okay... Let's see, where can this be serialized—"

Yuu Iwamoto swallowed slightly: "It's scary... With Mr. Kurokawa's confidence, it is impossible to think that his story is bad, that is to say - he himself thinks that this manga is not suitable for JUMC? Then why did you call me here? '

With such fear.

Finally...under the expectant eyes of Kurokawa and Ya, he opened this manga—
