Gore-chan of ××× SHOSATOON COMICS NO.279 G=Hikokorou

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx24

There are many anonymous users here who have the same experience as you, so don’t worry.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like secondary creations because they are quite easy to read.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>2

Is there really a Hikoro Emyu doujinshi in the Reiwa era? That’s cool.

I was surprised to find it was actually him.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

I often saw it in anthology comics during the fighting game boom around ’95, but if you’ve been able to make a living off your art for 30 years, maybe there’s no need for someone without a name to worry so much.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

I borrowed the immortal detective from a friend in high school, but

I can’t remember if they lent it to me from over there or if I begged for it from here.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

Boko Kama

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Tall female characters and non-human characters have a high level, don’t they?

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love that they still draw my favorite character.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Shut up about Gundam already!

It’s not posted as much as I thought.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

A comical and preferred style of illustration alongside a bow.

I wonder if having a strong way of speaking is somehow related.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Are you making a living…?

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>10

Bread and such

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

I guess I’ve been dropping the monthly manga for about half a year…

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

When I’m asked, “Is this interesting?” it really hurts.

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

By the time I realized it, it seems like Domon is working really hard and can eat normally…

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can say that paintings resonate with some people, but I’m really at a loss for how to recommend manga.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

Both of them might have incorporated a cartoon style at the same time.

I think Douman is somewhat influenced by Hikoro’s paintings.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was drawing a sulking expression.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can’t believe that someone can live on just paintings for 30 years.

Not in terms of talent or popularity, but in terms of workload.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

That might be the appeal, but when it comes to Jeet Kune Do, the random guy really doesn’t get any better… that’s what I think after reading the contributions in the game lab.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>18

I don’t think I’m bad at it.

It’s just super trendy.

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If you include grandchildren and great-grandchildren followers.

In terms of style, it has produced followers comparable to Takahiko Ito, Kunihiko Tanaka, and Kazuya Minekura.

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I wonder how RAY’S is doing.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>20

Didn’t you give up on being a manga artist and become a company employee early on?

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

I might be semi-retired from being a manga artist, but at this age, having no plan is too risky for my old age, so I guess I’m doing something about asset building…

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

>>21

I mean, you probably have a regular job, right?

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

No one understands the current job, so maybe that’s why they’re doing assistant work… that kind of vague expression is something that often comes up in the Hikoro thread.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wish I could just do character design work instead of having to create a whole manga.

It’s definitely impossible for a major company, so maybe something like an indie game.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>25

Can you meet the deadline?

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

It’s sad for indie game developers that they don’t adhere to deadlines.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it were Dorman’s brother, they’d be saying he’s bored with nothing to do…

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m not saying I’m giving up on drawing; I uploaded a picture of a Zieg Axis yesterday too.

31: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

You probably like drawing, don’t you?

A troublesome person whose motivation disappears as soon as it becomes work.

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>31

There are quite a few people like that.

67: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>31

It’s fine to play, but when a sense of obligation kicks in, I really understand how that weird switch turns on and motivation disappears.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I had worked diligently, I could have become a big name by now…

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

The reason I became fond of Ahegao from liking eyes with three whites is definitely because of this person.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder what Masafumi Ogawa is doing now.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>35

I remember that after Kinnikuman Lady, I was drawing a manga about dwarves…

I wonder if someone will quickly go crazy and make an anime about the student council.

Well, there are some voice actors who have passed away, but…

36: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Regarding Hikoru’s life, Ojiki…

I’ve never heard that my family home is wealthy.

Since they said that poop is made of gold, the theory that you can live off of poop made of gold is gaining traction.

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I heard that you dropped a half-page job for Kantai Collection, so I guess you’re the type of person whose writing slows down when it comes to work.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though I’m not working, I’m getting caught up in games and going on trips, living freely.

Where did you get that money from…?

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

If I had been drawing more vigorously, I would have achieved a considerable position as an illustrator.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>39

I still occasionally draw cool characters that look like a mix of cartoon and graffiti in a single image.

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Even though I haven’t been working that much, my lines are getting more refined, so I can tell that I’ve been drawing a lot outside of work…

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not limited to celebrities, but it’s just that not everyone is sharing their entire life on the internet, so that’s how it is…

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>42

It’s not necessary to share your entire life, but if you’re an artist, shouldn’t you share your art?

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

Your family is really wealthy, aren’t they? They probably own real estate in the city.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like my family’s home was a barber shop.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like the rhythm of the dialogue.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

I frequently share only the art, but…

A few days ago, it went viral.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are probably a ton of people I see online, but I wonder how they live their everyday lives?

Sometimes I really feel like I’m dying…

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

A writer I remembered when I saw Hazbin Hotel.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I didn’t know anything at all, I mistakenly thought the new edition of Orulock (the purple one) had a decent story and bought it just for the cover, and regretted it. But after I understood its style, I don’t dislike it.

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The creator of Helltaker said they were influenced by Douman’s art style, but it was funny that people pointed out it was more like Hikoro instead.

It’s obvious, but Douman had quite an influence on the illustration style too.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

How is the lord doing?

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

I used to see Hikoro-sensei several times at Yodobashi in Machida.

I guess you knew about the Atsugi Ayu Festival since you lived over there.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t know now, but I’m from Atsugi City.

I’m jealous that you knew their face so well.

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

When watching “Zettai Korosu Dungeon,” there are times when a design that feels very much like Hikoro’s gets mixed in, but is he still working as an assistant?

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though Doman’s brother is in a shining place… why is Hikoro…

57: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I like stories or topics too.

“If it bleeds, it can be killed. That’s a quote from John Lennon.”

and so on

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it already about 10 years since Ojiki was in the spotlight?

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>58

It feels like I am confessing that I am an ignorant nobody…

60: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I think Douman has solidified his position as a craftsman who creates reliable small works.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

At one point, Arigahito’s style was quite similar to Hikolo’s.

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Even though okama was so popular for a while, now there’s hardly a trace of it…

So you’re drawing shogi manga now?

113: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>65

When I was drawing Meena for Train Man, I thought that okama would go mainstream after Yoshizaki Kannon…

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hungry Mami-san

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve been participating in Comitia for a long time, so it seems like I’m alive.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought you were just living off Yocchi’s string.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems you’re having fun and enjoying your days, and that’s the most important thing.

Although the source of funding is unclear,

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

I quite like drawing one-panel comics on Twitter, but it still tends to appeal to a specific audience.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hikoro is definitely working on the original concept for a Bonga manga.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s watch Game Start!

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, being active is much better than having no news at all.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

“Uncle Doman must be busy with the iron plate!”

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

It has been serialized for a long time, and in the SF community, manga that resembles an homage to 21 Emon has been quite popular.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

If Dorman were to adapt Paradise into an anime, it would likely become popular again…

78: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think Domann’s absolutely deadly dungeon deserves more popularity, but it’s a shame they won’t be satisfied unless they include gruesome themes.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

Doman is doing Skeb, so Hikoro, why don’t you try Skeb as well?

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>79

The deadline…

80: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think it definitely comes from the influence of recent non-human characters with jagged teeth and cartoonish punk-like character designs.

81: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

×Choosing people

It’s not that interesting.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if they can eat things other than bread.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I had worked hard in the 2000s, I might have been among the big names by now.

They might not have been there.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>83

The only one who reached that position in the Game Store group is Kanon Yoshizaki.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>84

Hiro Arakawa is there first.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>110

You were just posting in the reader participation section!

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

Masafumi Ogawa… Hikorou… Toshihiro Ono… If everyone worked properly, they all had the talent to become remarkable individuals…

Well, Toshihiro Ono is a different issue altogether.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

I definitely like characters in gag manga who show up in strange poses while singing nonsensical songs, influenced by this person.

88: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I really loved Masashi Ogawa’s “Fuurin Kazan,” but I was so pissed off when it ended abruptly in a crappy way.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

I saw that the author lost their job in commercial work, so they’re making a living through doujin and raising funds through crowdfunding to release the continuation of their previously canceled manga.

I wonder if they can make a living off things like Fanbox now.

I suddenly changed my name two years ago.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>90

It’s become an era where the original sources are hard to understand… It’s difficult to read for those who don’t know it in the first place!

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel that Hikoro’s loss of the Kantai Collection job was the turning point.

I think there was definitely an offer for FGO from Type-Moon as well.

It seems like it might turn out that I didn’t drop it.

95: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>92

Since I’ve been dropping it for a long time now, there’s no point of divergence or anything like that.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m glad that Giekax seems to have been stuck on something and wrote various things.

94: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>93

That’s poison for otaku in their 50s…

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

Before I knew it, Domon went far away.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I hadn’t gotten hooked on FF11…

98: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>97

It’s not relevant because they originally lose jobs anyway.

100: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

While I was watching a movie, I thought Machu’s deadpan expression looked like Hikoro’s, and that he would probably like it.

Thank you for drawing it.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even Hikoro wouldn’t have messed up the illustration work they were doing in Arcadia…

102: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It’s nice that you still occasionally draw fighting game jokes.

I love the Leona drawn by Hikoro.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

Didn’t you have a serialization in some erotic manga magazine?

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

Do you like browser game tower defense?

I’m glad you draw for me sometimes.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m still drawing pictures of Ziekax, so it’s really a hobby that I’m into.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I’ve been able to eat bread for 30 years, I’m probably doing something right.

Work Other Than Painting

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was amazed by the size of the defensive range, as I even drew pictures for Black Channel (Korokoro Manga).

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if the series of the thread image is still ongoing.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since it’s just based on basic humor and enthusiasm, I feel like if someone tells me it’s funny and I brace myself to read it, I won’t find it amusing at all.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ding dong! I’m going with my butt!!!

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

But I was bursting with laughter at Sato-kun running up the super tall high tower toilet.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

To go major, okama’s personal preferences…

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>114

Is this an erotic manga? I’ll fold it up.

I remember the scene.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

The sense of naming a high school girl character “Wakigami Buta” is something I can’t imitate…

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

How are people in their 50s without any proper work experience going to live from now on?!

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if Hikurou was getting requests for drawings of Chinese sisters wetting themselves or for illustrations of Rika Kanie getting a paella stuffed in her rear end on Skeb…

119: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Hikoro has had his style since the beginning.

From there, a style that mixes cartoon elements and connects almost directly to the present is completed.

It is evident that Dobun was heavily influenced by that, as seen in the changes in illustration style during the Hit Publishing era.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like there’s a tendency to think that the emergence of innovative and unique creators one after another is a bad thing.

121: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Hey!

Hey, rapist!

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>121

The weakness was the body and it was outrageous back then… Personally, it was the peak period.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought that the hotel and space ones would please long-time fans, but what about the dungeon?

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

Short but interesting.

I want to read it all together.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

The dungeon often has a detached feeling of gruesomeness mixed in, and on top of that, things progress smoothly, making one go, “Hmm, hmm.”

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>126

Yes, it’s the usual Douman Seimei.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

The shitty doujin of the vampire drawn by Okama might be appreciated now.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

Please sell me a compilation of illustrations of my friend.

I can’t really understand the original source, but parodies that have a lot of energy still make me laugh.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love the organization jokes that Hikoro draws for Granblue.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like I’m being fed by Doman’s uncle.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kokkuri-san, Kokkuri-san

You have a lot of hair.

134: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>132

Maybe.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like there are quite a few characters in Blue Archive that seem to be influenced by others, even if it’s not direct, maybe like followers of followers.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

I bought the picture because I really liked the illustration, but reading it was quite painful.

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

Dum-Dum Zongelge

If you look, you’ll die.

Touching it will kill you.

Anyway, I will die.

137: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The beautiful girl with jagged teeth and three white eyes has a fierce smile, and I generally think she resembles a descendant of Hikolo.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

I bought one new book and five existing books unrelated to KanColle at a doujin event for KanColle.

I have a memory of being perplexed, wondering if the salesperson was a good person…

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if they will do something like the original design for V.
