More than once, Kotaro felt that it was really lucky for human beings to live on this planet.

Chapter 424 Dream

The "Inuyasha" filmed by Tomoyo is similar to the low-budget web dramas filmed in later generations.

After all, she is not a formal director and in fact has not learned similar professional knowledge.

So from a professional perspective, it is indeed very immature. There is no sense of camera. The storyboards are very poor. It doesn't seem like a TV show that tells a story, but more like a casual shoot on the spot.

But the response was unexpectedly good.

There is a special sense of reality, as if it was not deliberately filmed, but really happened. Although everyone knows that monsters definitely do not exist.

At the suggestion of Director Asaka, the company's professional department produced the opening and ending themes, which were broadcast on TV stations and received decent ratings, much higher than expected.

It is also a good IP, worthy of developing peripheral products. The first project to be launched is the comics.

Although Oshima's company has a comic magazine called "Earth", there are still relatively few high-quality comics that can be serialized. Even if we really use "interesting" as the standard, each issue can't be completed. They can only publish some short stories to fill the number.

Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump", Shogakukan's "Weekly Shonen Sunday", and Kodansha's "Weekly Shonenzhi" have all been cultivated over decades.

Generally speaking, serious and famous cartoonists are tied to publishing houses and it is impossible for them to change jobs at will.

Therefore, Oshima Entertainment can only start from new talents and cultivate them. This kind of process will take several years, or even more than ten years, to bear fruit. Fortunately, the Oshima family is not afraid of losses.

A magazine company can't lose much even if it wants to. How many hundreds of millions of dollars does it lose every year? In the most extreme case, if the rent, utilities, and employee salaries are all lost, and no magazine is sold, it's only a few billion. The rent, which accounts for a large part of the expenses, is still a theoretical loss, because the property originally belongs to the Oshima family.

The dividends Mr. Steel Stick from Magni forced on her were more than this every month.

It can be said that Ling also paid for her hobby.

Now "Inuyasha" has already had quite a few audiences, and there is no dispute over the copyright. It would be nice to have such a good IP for cartoonists to try their hand.

It is not uncommon for a TV show or anime to be first produced and then adapted into comics or novels for publication.

The person who took over this comic is the company's youngest cartoonist, who is still a high school student. He was signed at the submission recruitment meeting at the beginning of the year.

As a new cartoonist, his experience is of course relatively immature.

The reason why she was chosen is because Ling felt that among the cartoonists in her company, although Akira Toriyama and Kinoko Nasu were more experienced, her style was the most suitable.

It's a girl named Rumiko Takahashi.

The name sounds familiar. He should be a famous cartoonist in the future.

However, Lingye was not familiar with the names of cartoonists in her previous life, and she had never specifically learned about them in the past. Even Akira Toriyama was the author of Dragon Ball after reading his Arale. Other names that are more catchy include Fujiko Fujio, Aoyama Takehiko, and Kurumada Masami. I vaguely remember these.

But even among these, the works and names do not match.

Fujiko Fujio is the author of Doraemon, which has been serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday for four years.

Aoyama Takehiko... or is it Aoyama Gosho? It should be Takehiko, I think he drew Slam Dunk.

Masami Kurumada, you can tell from her name that she is a female writer, maybe the author of Sailor Moon, after all, both have the word "美" in their names. The moon will destroy you!

Well, she really didn't know, she was just guessing.

She didn't remember anything else.

"Takahashi, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. You are a high school student, so you should focus on your studies. If weekly serialization is not an option, monthly publication will also work."

This is what the editor said to Rumiko. Such a relaxed magazine is a breath of fresh air. She had heard in the past that Shueisha's Shonen Jump was impossible to ask for leave. As long as the readers were not satisfied with the feedback, the manga would be cut in half. There was no mercy at all.

So she was hesitant to submit her work to Earth at the beginning of the year, but as a high school student, she had to study every day and didn't have much time to publish. She didn't expect the magazine to be so lenient.

"That's what the young lady meant."

Everyone in the magazine knew who the "young lady" the editor was talking about. The eleven-year-old head of the Oshima family. Not only did she own the magazine, she also owned Oshima Entertainment, and the magazine was a subsidiary of Oshima Entertainment.

No one knows how much more assets there are.

"The eldest lady said that as long as you draw seriously, there is no need to pursue other things. Even if the readers' response is not good, you should try your best to finish the book. Failure is also a kind of growth. I just hope that the next book can be better."

This is not what Lingye said to Takahashi Rumiko, but she asked the editor to tell all the comic authors under her company. It doesn't matter if you are immature for the time being, as long as you are serious and not perfunctory, and grow a little bit every day, you will definitely make achievements in the future.

But Rumiko Takahashi was still a little nervous. This "Inuyasha" is already very popular. If a newcomer like herself were to draw it and the results were poor, it would be a waste of this subject matter.

However, when she actually bought it, she found it to be surprisingly simple. No, it should be said that it was surprisingly suitable for her.

Every stroke of the pen has a strange sense of familiarity. Inuyasha, Kagome, Kikyo, Seshomaru, really, it feels like I haven't seen them for a long time!

This week’s sample issue of Earth is out.

After Ling finished reading it, she didn't speak for a long time.

"Why... Miss, are you dissatisfied with anything?"

Editor-in-chief Sasaki was a little nervous. He sat on the sofa and didn't dare to drink the cup of tea that Maria poured for him.

Although he is the editor-in-chief, he does not have much experience. He has only been in the industry for five years. He was originally the editor-in-chief of Jump and was poached here with a high salary.

"Lost!"

"Huh?" What does that mean? Sasaki was confused. Was he blaming me for not drawing well?

"It's so infuriating, my Inuyasha is completely inferior to this manga!"

That was a script she wrote based on the plot in her memory, but memory is actually unreliable, because Ling had never read it carefully in the past, and only watched some episodes sporadically, so the plot was actually pieced together by her.

It is said that this is for Chiyo to practice, but in fact, this script itself is just a casual practice work.

Now Ling also admits that she has no talent for writing scripts. The comics created by others are much better than her "original work".

But speaking of secondary creation, could this Takahashi Rumiko really be the original author of "Inuyasha"? She chose her because she saw that her style was similar to hers.

It's possible, but there's no way to verify it.

Ling hasn't encountered any monster attacks in the past few days, and Tokyo is relatively peaceful.

But the peace in Tokyo does not mean that other places are also peaceful. Hakone Town in Kanagawa was attacked by a monster not long ago.

It was a very strange monster that would dissolve cars and eat metal, but would not hurt people.

After ZAT received the order to go out, Kotaro did not tell Reiya, and in the end Taro did destroy the enemy.

This monster was not weak. After being cut into pieces by Taro at first, it was easily resurrected and then resisted Taro's Stream Ray.

The ultimate skill failed twice.

This is a very powerful monster, no weaker than the big monsters that had given Taro's brothers a hard fight in the past.

But Taro was not discouraged, nor did he lose his temper. Now that he had experienced many battles, he had indeed grown a lot. At least he would not give up easily and would consider whether he had other means.

The battlefield is not an arena, there is no such thing as stopping point, he has deeply understood this.

In the end, he used "Tairo Cyclone" to eliminate the enemy.

This is a skill created by Taro himself, imitating the forbidden technique of his brother Ace, 'Ultra Barrier'.

The same is true of rotating the body at high speed, causing the space itself to vibrate. The 'Ultra Barrier' can exile the enemy to another dimension. If it is not an enemy like Yabo who is proficient in other dimensions, they will never be able to find their way back.

The name "Ultra Barrier" should actually be more appropriately called "Exile to Another Dimension".

But Taro only learned half of it. After imprisoning the enemy in the oscillating space, he did not choose to open the space channel to exile him, but let the space shatter and turn into a weapon.

It might not have much effect on a super beast that has the ability to cross different dimensions, but for this monster without spatial ability, the collapse of the spatial blade is a sure kill, breaking it into particles smaller than cells.

Taro proved that he indeed had enough power to protect the Earth.

That night, Ling went to bed early because she had classes the next day.

But when she woke up the next day, she felt something was wrong.

The first thing that was not right was her. She felt that something was not right in her body. Then came the second thing.

"You are awake, Miss. Would you like black tea or green tea?"

The person in front of her was her butler. She remembered that her butler grandfather should be called Jianye. But——

"Good morning, Mr. Kaito."

The body responded like this, as if it was something it was used to. Ling knew something was wrong, but she didn't resist.

Mr. Kaito was very considerate. He had the sophistication of Kenno and the gentleness and meticulousness of Maria. She knew that someone was deliberately trying to blur the names of Kenno and Maria in her mind, but failed.

There are some things she is willing to cooperate with, but there are some things she is not willing to cooperate with.

"Your skirt has been ironed with incense. This time, it's the scent of agave. I hope you don't mind it."

She really didn't hate it. The smell seemed to be deliberately trying to please her. It made her feel calm and she didn't feel sleepy after getting up. She was really a considerate housekeeper.

Then, when she finished washing up and came to the restaurant on the first floor, she saw——

"Lingye, you look really nice today."

It is indeed very beautiful. The dress with a red skirt and white lining and layered lace makes her look like a doll. It really suits her.

Ling was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said good morning.

"Good morning, Dad and Mom. I've been looking forward to going to the amusement park today."

This is for her memory.

She was willing to accept this memory.

Even if the person who gave her the memory was an alien or a monster, just today.

Mr. Kaito——Mefilas also smiled smugly.

Chapter 425: Immaculate Mind

The sun did not rise that day.

It started with Tokyo, then gradually spread to the entire island nation, and then the entire earth, all shrouded in darkness.

"It's moths! We've observed that a large number of moths are staying at an altitude of about 20,000 meters above the ground, blocking the sunlight!"

By the time ZAT received the report, the disaster had already spread out of control.

"Where do all those moths come from? They could cover the entire Earth!"

This group of creatures has literally taken over the Earth. A palm-sized moth can cover the entire Earth's atmosphere, and there are more than trillions of them!

"What's more, that's the stratosphere at 20,000 meters, where the air is almost non-existent! How can a moth fly that high? Its wings can't even reach the air, so how can it fly? This is unscientific."

Winged creatures rely on the support of air to fly. At an altitude of 20 meters, the air is only % of that on the ground, which is not enough to support their weight.

Bei Dao thinks it is unscientific, but the objective facts that have already happened are science, it’s just that humans cannot understand it.
