Chapter 12: Chapter 10 – Kyoto Ghoul Debut

In the countryside in the northern suburbs of Kyoto, Japan, there are beautiful mountains and rivers, surrounded by forests, quiet trails, fragrant birds and flowers, children come and play on the country roads, and old people drink tea in the courtyards of each house.

In an old Japanese-style villa, a man in his fifties who has just entered old age is holding a pen and drawing original paintings one after another on manuscript paper. Beside him, there are assistants on standby. some were doing the backgrounds, paints, posts in his InstaGang profile, all kinds of social media, and manner of things.

In the huge studio, nearly ten people work with each other, except for the sound of various art tools colliding on the paper, there is no other sound, silent and harmonious, with the background sound of traditional Japanese music playing in the background. At this time, an assistant ran in from the outside panting and was so anxious that he forgot to knock on the door.

The assistants working in the studio glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, while the old man did not stop the pen in his hand, but said lightly:

"Masumi-san, what's the matter? why are you running?"

"I'm so sorry!" The assistant named Masumi held the door frame tightly, he took a quick breath, and after adjusting his state, the man then looked at the old man with a very complicated look.

"Sensei! Tochigi! He's back!"

" Tochigi is dead, that's not possible, it's probably some rerun of old series he had"

" No! he's really back! look!"

Masumi showed his phone and the username Tochigi, the artwork was new but that was definitely Tochigi's artwork. It even evolved and became much cleaner, the art reminded him of the western Comic style fashion with an Asian Manga aesthetic sense. Hearing the words of Tochigi, the old man's hand paused for a moment, the brush in his hand was not grasped properly, the ink splattered and scattered, destroying a piece of manuscript paper that had just been drawn on the paper. But the old man didn't care. That name bears a heavy state on his heart.

" Is he really back? or is this an imposter? I need to find out"

..........

In an underground studio in downtown Tokyo, sketches were scattered on the ground. A man was lying on the table. The pen in his hand slid quickly on the manuscript paper. After each sketch was slightly formed, the man fell to the ground. The more he draws, the happier he is! The more you draw, the more excited he becomes! He doesn't know how long he hasn't felt this excited! Probably a long time!

The pen in his hand is getting faster and faster, his drawing technique is getting crazier and crazier, and the manuscript paper under his hand, at this moment, seems to be a tool for a man to express his emotions, Finally, he could no longer hold back the emotion in his heart, wiped the sketch on the table, and raised the sketch in his hand in this scattered studio as he laughs maniacally like an insane man.

"Hahaha! The dead is alive again! Hey Tochigi! are you really back right now? I didn't know you had a kid! hahaha!" The man's eyes gleamed coldly,

"If I can't defeat you? fine, your kid is as good of a target as any other! "

The phone on the ground cracked the screen, but on the lit screen, Alex's manga was on full display under the pen name

"Tochigi"

...........

Under a dark location in the basement studio. When Kamedamura saw that Alex's book was occupying first place in the ranking of the manga Oneshot section of GinoGuniya Bookstore, he felt extremely depressed, not to mention he used the name Tochigi as he debuted.

"Oh, No one else knows this, But I know! With your damn injured hands! Damn kid, first it was the father, now this!! as if I'll let this lying down! Let's see how you can keep up with that damn injury of yours!"

The man threw the smartphone into the wall and smashes it, feeling angry at this flawless debut of the kid,

" I've worked too hard for some punk who doesn't even have pubic hair yet to rise before me!"

.....

"Lilian are you free? Come and have a look at this new manga from the "My World " project"

A professional woman with glasses and a black suit hands her phone to a pretty woman. The girl named Lilian was wearing a long pink lady's dress and sat upright on the chair. Her pebble-like face showed the ruddy face of a peculiar girl, and her long cherry pink hair reached her waist. She has a graceful figure.

You are reading story Reborn a tale of a Mangaka with Cheats at novel35.com

A pair of slender fingers are currently pinching the eraser to create shadows in her artwork, she is simply painting it quietly and calmly as if playing a ballad.

"You're asking me to read a manga Miss Editor? I thought my dateline was up."

Stopping the digital pen in her hand, the girl pulled her hair from her ear,

"Right now, I just don't have the time to..."

"Are you sure you don't want to read that? the name on the manga was under a pen name called Tochigi."

The girl simply swiped the phone away and start reading profusely. Her giggling was infectious as she read through the blurb and scanned the manga,

" Oh my-! Tochigi-san doing NSFW stuff? this isn't him at all, who is he? Didn't he pass away? I was at the funeral ya know? a copycat? Nah..he's style is too similar"

Mary, the Editor could only look at her sharply as she point out the name under the Author's name in the credit. the name of the Editor in charge was Aya Gozen, Lilian quickly took notice and smiled wonderfully, it's been a while since she smile like that

" So she found her muse huh? how fitting, Whoever this person is, I guess that person is probably related to Hiro-san somehow, I want to meet this new "Tochigi".

Mary just nodded and took out her phone

" I'll find out soon enough"

　　...

On this day, a book was circulated wildly in the ACG circle...

The Tankabon uses some ordinary tropes and blank point method in telling its story, Coupled with the author's superb skill in his artwork, it can be said that it is a rare Oneshot manga that hasn't come in a very long time. However, compared to the novel plot and amazing painting skills of the book, what is even more surprising to people in the industry is the author's signature. In the fierce competition of the Manga industry, even if you have great achievements, Most people will forget your name after a few years, only the greats like Akira Moriyama on Fragonbollz or works such as Doraebon byDodio  M Mujiko.

But for people in the industry and the bigwigs who have been in the ACG circle for many years, the word "Tochigi" has not been forgotten, This manga is more like an announcement... announcing the return of a person, or at least someone acknowledged by that person, his true heir that showed the same genius as he was.

 

...............

Of course, Alex didn't know anything about all of this, Until now. He was simply ignoring his manga being sold right now and instead is at the Open reading section where a little girl was reading out loud about the story of snow-white. 

"Once upon a time...a beautiful Snow White came, and the Queen said...she said mirror on the wall, who's the ugliest of them all"

The day was spent peacefully with his sister and Miss Ueno as they went for dinner in Pizza Gut and went back home. After sending his sister to bed, Alex immediately went back to his room and sit in his single room studio. a sound was made suddenly, it was the system
