I, who tortured the readers, was knocked to the ground by them!

Chapter 17 Feeling is ecstatic

"What mom means is, from now on, I want you to record my life on video."

The picture is neatly divided into equal-sized frames, like a movie film being played.

The mother speaks from the perspective of the camera with a shadow.

"If I make a video, I can still remember my mom even when she's gone."

As an apprentice manga artist, Hanase Shion, as usual, reads the manga carefully and analyzes it in depth.

She always analyzes the works carefully when reading and thinks whether there is anything worth learning, which is why she makes rapid progress.

However, her mindset today was different from usual.

Because this is most likely the entry by that guy Haruki Nagayama.

She was extremely excited, but also reminded herself to remain vigilant.

Since it's that guy's work, you must be prepared to be disgusted at any time.

"This storyboard has a bit of his style, but is this shot really that blurry? It seems pretty interesting, though, and easy to draw."

Shion Hane looked at the blurry footage, muttering to herself and analyzing the work.

The "camera image out of focus" is presented by overlapping some lines and effect lines.

Although it is not a superb painting skill in theory, it is indeed quite innovative and eye-catching.

It’s just that cartoonists are trying to make their pictures look clearer and more vivid.

This guy used three, four, no, five pages of this kind of first-person perspective shot with double images.

This is too bold!

Although it echoes the setting of the boy's inexperience in using the camera.

But isn't this too much? Aren't you afraid that the audience will get bored?

It must be Haruki Nagayama!

I really don’t know who else would be so bold except him.

But as a mature painter as he is, he should understand that it is not good to always use such a lens, right?
This story doesn't seem like his style.
Is this the work of that guy?

The excitement in Hane Shion's heart was gradually replaced by doubt.

Turning to the next page, it was still the same shot.

Could it be that this guy intends to use this kind of lens to draw the entire comic?

That's too much!
And the subsequent plot is too bland.

Hane Shion was a little disappointed.

She saw neither the kind of character suddenly saying the outrageous line "I want to be your dog" nor the kind of violent aesthetics with intestines and limbs flying everywhere.

Everything is just a record of ordinary life.

The family of three went to the aquarium together, made Buffy together, and cooked together. These were all very ordinary plot developments.

"Although it's indeed heartwarming, it's a bit too cliché."

Actually, the story is not bad, but for Hanase Shion, who was expecting it to develop like "Fist of Fire", it was a bit too boring.

As the creator, Hane Shion feels that she can already imagine the plot of the next part.

First, the camera is used to record the mother's illness and her gradual transfer to the hospital bed, and a foreshadowing object with special emotions is laid, such as omelet rice, emerald and the like.

Then the separation of life and death creates a small climax. After a transition period, the foreshadowing object is fed back through subsequent development, and the previous story is inserted again. Then the two lines run in parallel to reach the climax.

Perhaps this story can touch many people.

But, I thought it was disgusting.

Is this the result?

This guy has turned over a new leaf? That feels so boring.

"Mom doesn't have much time left." In the blurry footage, the father lowered his head and said sadly. "Let's go to the hospital, Yuta."

Here it comes, the first small climax.

Hanase Shion turned to the next page.

Yuta is running from a first-person perspective.

"Ah, the same old clichéd Japanese drama."

Hane Shion couldn't help but complain.

Sure enough, this is just an imitator of Haruki Nagayama!

Hanase Shion concluded with disappointment.

If you think about it carefully, the outlining and coloring are a little bit rough.

It should be a newcomer who tried to imitate him. In fact, this newcomer's storyboard and painting style were imitated quite well.

If I didn't keep comparing him to that psychopath, this work would be pretty good.

But her expectations were too high.

This story doesn't fit her tone at all, and it doesn't disgust her at all.

Having lost interest, she sat in front of the computer, supporting her face, her thoughts wandering as she clicked on the last few pages.

Yuta was still running, and behind him was the hospital.

Next page.

There was no warning at all.

The hospital exploded.

"what?"

Hane Shion, who had already lost interest, suddenly widened her eyes.

That's right, there were no signs.

The hospital behind Yuta.

It exploded. Hanase Shion wasn't thinking about anything.

My fingers subconsciously clicked on it driven by curiosity.

In an instant, she was pulled back into the story.

And the next page.

It's a more refined close-up of the explosion.

Next page.

A large group of students sat solemnly under the podium, staring silently at the picture on the screen on the stage.

Yuta runs across the screen as a violent explosion occurs in the hospital building behind him.

There was a sentence floating on the screen.

【Goodbye, Mom】

Next page!
A close-up of the entire lobby in complete silence and everyone's shocked expressions.

next page!
The announcer, dressed in school uniform, stood at the podium and said, "End of broadcast. This is the documentary film presented by Yuta Ito from Class 1B, 'My Mother Explodes to Death.'"

Next page!!
blank.

The story came to an abrupt end.

What he sent was just a beginning, and the follow-up is still in progress.

Hanase Shion stared blankly at the blank screen.

After about four or five seconds of silence.

Lean back slightly.

He was stunned for another two or three seconds.

Is this gone?

So, those shots were just movies?
So, the reason that double shot is used for eighteen consecutive pages is because this is just a movie shot by the male lead?
So, are the things in the movie true or false?

So, how will the follow-up unfold?

Wait, was he playing me like a fool?
Yes! I was teased!

No matter how cautious Shion Hane was, she never expected this guy to disgust her in this way.

"This is definitely his work! This can only be the work of that bastard!"

Hane Shion swung her fist and slammed the table fiercely, confirming the answer that had been in her mind for a long time.

Only a psychopath would have such a bad taste to go to such great lengths to disgust the readers!
"Oh, by the way, I still have to reply to the editor about my thoughts. Can you summarize my feelings in one sentence?"

Hanase Shion remembered she had something else to do, so she reached up and touched the mouse. "Shhh, my hand hurts."

At the same time, Shinkawa Aimi and Sakurai Itsuki were still on the phone.

Because Shinkawa Aimei said that since she called, she might as well talk about the arrangements after "Flame Fist".

So the two did not hang up the phone, but continued to chat about comics on the phone.

Hanase Shion covered her hands and typed on the keyboard.

Hanase Shion: [I've finished reading it.]

Shinkawa Aimi: [What are your thoughts?]

Hanase Shion: [Do you want it to be real? ]

Shinkawa Aimi: [Of course it has to be true. It's okay. You can praise or criticize. Just express your most honest feelings.]

Hanase Shion: [I want to kill him with a knife! ]

Shinkawa Aimei twitched her lips and replied, "I understand."

Hanase Shion: [What did he think after hearing my thoughts?]

"She seems to want to kill you. What do you think about that?" asked Shinkawa Aimei.

"Wuhu!"

Sakurai Itsuki's attention was completely not on the conversation at the moment.

He looked at the system display of [New Work Related Points: +85.] and couldn't help but cheer.

This means that the assistant's participation in creative work will not affect the system's point acquisition.

Then, he can save a lot of effort.

With the help of his assistant, he is able to open two serials at the same time.

Although I have to pay my assistants, I also receive the bulk of the royalties and can enjoy exclusive point rewards from the system.

No matter how you look at it, it's a huge profit.

Wait, what if I invest in games or animations or movies that have a wider audience in the future?

If that can also trigger the system's point income
"Yeah! That's great!"

Sakurai Itsuki seemed to see a bright future waving at him, and immediately smiled.

"Are you really a twisted psychopath?"

Shinkawa Aimei felt a little strange when she heard the uncontrollable joy from the other side.

When I informed him that "Flame Fist" could be officially serialized, that guy looked calm and there was no expression on his face.

But today, when he heard that someone wanted to kill him, he was so happy that he seemed to jump up.

“Ahem, I’m happy because of other things.”

Sakurai Itsuki was so overwhelmed with joy that he almost forgot that he was still talking to the editor, so he hurried to explain.

“I hope.”

Ai Shinkawa scratched her head helplessly, and then sent a message to Shion Hane.

Shinkawa Aimi: [His feeling was ecstasy.]
