Sho Miyagi blinked. To be honest, this was the first time he was asked for an autograph.
Although he was a little surprised, he still took the pen and paper from Endo and signed his name on it. At the same time, he said,"Fortunately, I've practiced signing before. Otherwise, the names I write now would be so ugly. But this is my first time, and I gave it to a man. I'm actually very disappointed.”
As he said this, he raised his eyebrows at Endo.
The first time?
Endo was stunned for a moment before quickly reacting. He couldn't help but laugh,"…Teacher Jingu, you are really humorous. But I will definitely keep your 'first time' properly!”
Endo carefully put the signed notebook into his pocket, looking very serious.
"Alright, what a joke!”
At the side, Xiao Dao couldn't help but lecture his disciple,"... I'm sorry for making a fool of myself, teacher!”
The 40-year-old reporter bowed to Sho Jingu with a serious expression.
"You're being too serious. In that case, can the interview begin?”
"Of course."
A smile appeared on Kojima's serious face. He gestured for Shino Miyagi to sit on the other side of the long table and began to prepare some recording pens.
Endo quickly sat down beside his teacher and became serious. He took out a large notepad from his bag and held a pen in his hand, ready to record Shino Miyagi's words and deeds at any time.
"First of all, congratulations on debuting at the age of 16. Furthermore, your first manga made history through the weekly Shōnen Jump conference.”
"Thank you!"
Shino Miyagi leaned back in his chair and took a cup of coffee from Xufang, politely responding to the reporter's compliments.
Xiao Dao suddenly smiled mysteriously and said,""I just received the news, so I have to congratulate you on something.”
"Oh? I wonder what good thing it is?"
"The results of the previous issue of Shonen Weekly's sales and reader preference survey are out. The sales volume increased by 6.5% compared to the previous issue, and your serial, Naruto, directly won first place in the reader preference survey! By the way, the three comics that were released at the same time as you are ranked very low.”
"First place?"
This time, Shino Miyagi was really surprised. He knew that Naruto was a national level manga. In this world where many masterpieces did not exist, it would definitely be more popular than the world before he transmigrated. However, Naruto was not the kind of manga that would completely attract people at the beginning. It was a manga that would show its value as the plot developed, the contradictions and the variety of ninjutsu.
"It seems that you are very surprised?”
The island did not miss the slight astonishment of Shino Miyagi.
"Yes, although I was confident that my Naruto would become a phenomenal manga like Dragon Ball, I really didn't expect that the first few chapters would have such an outcome.”
Shino Miyagi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
Kojima was delighted. As a reporter, he liked people who spoke wildly like this the most. Only such people could bring about a topic of conversation. Regardless of whether Shino Miyagi was really arrogant or pretending to be arrogant, this kind of person was the most popular among reporters.
He motioned for his assistant, Endo, to record these words. It might not be written like this when the interview was published, but it was very important material.
Xufang, who was standing at the side, was also acting as a manager, but he didn't stop Sho Kamiya from speaking. The manga industry relied on strength to make a living, and manga artists didn't need to rely on relationships to make a living, so it didn't matter even if they offended someone.
"Oh right, in the readers 'survey, the proportion of women who voted for you is quite high ~
" It can also be considered as generating income for the weekly youth."
"Hahaha! Sensei Jingu, your words are really interesting.”
Kojima laughed. However, looking at Sho Miyagu's appearance, he suddenly felt that this might be a good idea. Manga artists did not have idols, because most manga artists were not very ugly, but they were not very attractive. Perhaps Shino-sensei Miyagu could really become a manga artist who was both an idol and a capable man.
"How did you come up with the idea of drawing a manga with the theme of 'ninja'? To be honest, there are quite a few ninja-themed comics, but I feel that your Naruto is completely different from those.”
"Let's talk about the latter part of your question first. Naruto is a manga with a complete world view and a very complete structure. Before I started writing, I had already finished designing the Naruto world. Of course, there are some contents that I still have to discuss with the editor to see if I can make it better. What I'm showing now is only a small corner of this world. The plot and ninjutsu will be varied and will appear in unexpected ways, so I hope readers will continue to support me…As for the previous question, to be honest, it's not just the ninja theme. I still have pirates, magic, and death in my mind. Perhaps when I'm a little free, I'll draw one of them into a manga.”
Sho Miyagi introduced the manga. He was naturally talking about One Piece, Death God, and the like. At this time, he would give a warning in advance so that when he suddenly started drawing one day, it would not be out of the ordinary. Other things were fine, but he would definitely not let One Piece go. This manga could even be said to be the most powerful and successful manga in history. The only reason why he did not dare to start writing before was that the manga was not finished. He did not dare to continue drawing it himself. However, some time ago, he was surprised to find that the comics in his mind would automatically update. Only then did he make up his mind to draw One Piece as well.
"Teacher Jingu actually has so many ideas. You are really a genius!”
"You're flattering me. I just like to let my imagination run wild.”
Shino Miyagi said modestly.
'I'm just a nature porter with a cheat!'
"
Then, can you tell me about the plot development of Naruto? Just like you said, it is a perfect world. It will definitely be very exciting. "
It's definitely going to be exciting, but I don't dare to say anything about the development of the plot. Otherwise, the editor will definitely beat me to death (laugh). However, one thing was certain. Just like the aim of Shonen Jump, Naruto would also revolve around friendship and work hard to develop. What I want to tell everyone, other than those dazzling ninjutsu and novel stories, is that I want everyone to be like the main character in the manga, Naruto Uzumaki. No matter what situation you are in, no matter how you are looked down upon by others, don't give up and work hard for your goal. I think everyone must have their own dreams, just like Naruto Uzumaki's dream of becoming Naruto.”
Shino Miyagi suddenly became serious and extended a finger.
"Oh? It was really surprising for Teacher Jingu to say these words that were full of life insights at his age.”
"Don't look at me just because I'm young, but I've experienced a lot of things, especially recently. I might have experienced the biggest turning point in my life.”
"Can you talk about it in detail?"
"Sorry, this is a personal question. I don't want to answer it.”
