Pidol!

I want to know the average age of Sunday readers.

I feel like it’s an amazing era, but I wonder if this will be popular in modern times.

I wish I were a girl.

It’s a series that I finally reached after being criticized a lot by the young editor.

“It’s been 20 years since Kazuhiko Shimamoto said, ‘I feel like I’ve watched Eva on a small YouTube screen.'”

The title is too Showa.

“Adversity”

If it became more interesting than Aoi Honoo, that would be quite something.

Perhaps it’s better to aim for women now, and there’s a part where idols and vampires are being mixed together.

>>13

I think there is a certain potential to bounce back if I seriously aim for it, but it’s bad that I keep avoiding it because of a strange shyness every time.

>>13

In reality, male vampire Vtubers are quite popular among women, so I don’t think the direction is wrong…?

The one-shot I did in Big Comic before was also about vampires, so I wonder if it’s trending.

Is it because they are underground idols that they are vampires?

I hope something goes wrong and becomes popular.

For now, I can’t say anything until I read the first episode, but it just feels like it’s merely a decoy for Jubilo.

I know it’s wrong to judge something without having read the content yet, but I can’t help but feel that something seems off…

But I feel like that’s what they’re aiming for.

From the title, I feel like it’s not going in the direction of something like “The Transferring Student of Flames” or “Adversity Nine.”

I usually don’t buy Sunday magazines, but I’ll buy one to read.

Isn’t it a bit too much to manage both the serialization of Aoi Honoo and being a company president while being over 60 and handling a weekly serialization?

I want you to not know that I was serializing at the same time as Fujita until the magazine announcement.

And I would like you to put that into a report.

>>24

I already know because it was triggered by a conversation two years ago.

>>24

In the battle talk show I did recently with two people, I announced it and told the audience to keep it secret until the information is released!

Not long ago, it was a magazine where Jubilo, Rumiko, and Adachi were the main contributors, so it’s probably fine for Shimamoto to draw for it.

>>28

Maybe… that’s what is thought…

I think so too…!

>>28

The name “Tagir” is difficult to read and remember at first…

>>48

It’s not like I’m a person who needs to be organized…

The current Sunday doesn’t have the main series Conan or Frieren.

Why does the president of the largest franchise in Hokkaido for the Duskin group need to draw manga…

Vampire Idol is ramping up.

If it gets animated, it seems like the voice will be Taketo Koyasu.

That’s why people say the real person is more interesting than the manga!

It sounds interesting just thinking about it, and the background.

It’s more interesting than the manga itself, isn’t it?

Is Fujita starting a new series too?

>>39

As a principle, it’s the same as the funeral of Frieren, but after all, it’s Showa.

I would like to have a manga created about the story of my involvement in the character design of Bumbunja and the circumstances of wanting to be stepped on by the female executive voiced by Nana Mizuki.

It seems like a subject you’re really not suited for, but can you really do it?

>>42

Well, for a while I was really into Love Live and even created doujinshi, so I have some know-how in that area…

In the past ten or so years, I can’t remember any manga by Shimamoto that was interesting, other than those based on himself or others.

It might be surprisingly interesting, or it could flop spectacularly and end quickly.

You won’t understand anything until you start.

Shimamoto’s manga is often quoted for its highly relatable scenes.

There isn’t much buzz about what will happen next in this ongoing manga.

>>47

Although it was being made fun of for its roaring flames, Jubiro said that even if a significant mystery arose in the story, it wouldn’t be something to be concerned about due to the twisting.

It’s not a one-shot…

Do you want to see a man’s penis?

Fujita seems to be thinking, “Can I do this?”

>>54

This person has some aspects that you won’t understand until it starts…

I guess what girls like is probably the type of guy who sits down roughly and confidently on a sofa or something like that.

It seems like I’d have to sit formally if it’s a teacher.

>>57

You would sit down with a thud, right?

I get told something and before I know it, I’m sitting formally.

He seems more like a rock ‘n’ roller than an idol.

I haven’t heard anything about Jubilo’s recent topics at all.

Fujita was quite cautious in the early stages of “Souboutei Kowasu beki,” but the result was like that, so you can’t say anything until it actually starts.

I still can’t tell if it’s a story or a joke.

I can imagine a scenario where, even though it started as a gag from the beginning, there are still comments about embarrassment and dodging.

If Takku were to actually become an idol, he would probably have to use a stage name…

The scene where I run into Jubilo at the Sunday editorial department will definitely be turned into a manga, right?

The Souboutei had the Moonlight Regulations in front of it, so it’s even more so…

The key visual for “Sou Boutou” wasn’t that great either.

Four new series starting in fragrant May!

Simultaneous first edition (Issue 23, May 7)

“Silver Mountain” / Kazuhirō Fujita

What do you see at the end of strength? I await you on the silver peak――.

“Vampidol Rolling” / Kazuhiko Shimamoto

Patience can sometimes become a weapon — a NEW IDOL born from the excitement of “adversity”!!

Part 3 (Issue 25 May 21)

“Kakukamata” / Yuhei Kusakabe

What the two of them love is drawing manga. A coming-of-age comedy set in a manga vocational school!

Volume 4 (Issue 26, May 28)

“Kagurai: Kagura and Raijin” / Original Work: Lettuce Taro, Artwork: Mashu Taro

An impressive one-shot action story has been decided for serialization due to its huge response! A 211cm tall female samurai! The largest and strongest protagonist makes her appearance!!

>>68

This isn’t a catchphrase for an idol manga.

Does it feel like being an idol is to suck blood?

Revealing everything in the title is kind in a way, but…

If you want to surprise the reader, shouldn’t you keep either the idol or the vampire a secret?

>>70

There’s no point in hiding it when the story is about a vampire doing idol activities and wants to appeal!

The title suggests it’s something like a food fighter, so I think the content is a gag.

It’s just that Takashi is difficult to read.

>>71

Suddenly, it’s an ill omen.

Jubilo sometimes misses and sometimes hits, but basically, they are slow starters.

I can only see a future where it becomes a messy competition.

If this turns into an intense battle, it would be incredibly cool, but it’s probably impossible…

>>75

It feels like Sobotei had a rocket start.

If it’s a story and a gag, it’s not really a confrontation in the first place.

Both will have to work hard to survive.

They say May is fragrant with the breeze, but the scent of the two new serializations smells nothing but like the gunpowder of a four-shaku-dama.

When it comes to blood, I love Shimamoto’s thought that it should be “boiling!”

Souboutei felt like a sudden last dungeon, and it was great.

The purpose is also extremely clear.

A title that feels like the logic of Pro Golfer Saru.

The visuals look somewhat old-fashioned…

>>82

That’s been my signature since my debut…

>>86

I feel like it’s no longer just old out of defiance, but really just old.

Even readers from the moe pen, in this era where there are veterans, will truly understand the boys and girls, I wonder?

>>94

If you say that, expecting new readers to come to Shimamoto is just ridiculous…

The initial parts of “Sou Boutai” weren’t that much… but the slow middle section where it started telling a story that felt more like a boy’s sci-fi was worse.

The character of Doronokudon is so interesting that from the time it started to emerge seriously, the momentum was incredible.

The short-term vampire was serious about it, so they will probably seriously turn it into an idol thing.

I wonder if it’ll be well-received…

I remember feeling that it was intense how it was going to be until Shouka Shoui came out of Sou Boutou.

Unlike Fujita-sensei, I was complaining that there were only men at my signing event!

Is it okay to be a male idol?

>>87

That’s why they’re targeting women, isn’t it?

The anime store manager received it for a moment…

If you start getting embarrassed in your usual style, isn’t that a bad thing?

>>88

Isn’t it okay since being told that I’m already shy is part of my style?

>>92

Being a veteran, having templates like this is a strong point, right?

Are they going to serialize the giantess samurai thing?

At the beginning of the serialization of “SouBoutei,” it doesn’t feel that interesting, to be honest.

It feels like I had quite a bit of time to kill, messing around with the first line and turning it into a joke.

It seems Jubilo is changing its style from usual?

It doesn’t seem to have changed much, but…

It feels like I’m looking at the author instead of the characters.

I feel that Shimamoto is indeed suited for essays.

>>99

It’s a shame that the person’s story is more interesting than most of their own works…

>>103

A character with such distinct characteristics that even if other authors don’t specify who they are, it’s immediately clear who they are.

The idol joke and Shimamoto’s strange embarrassment seem like a bad match, but I wonder how it will turn out.

Something about the new series, besides the four, is really intense!

Shimamoto demanded Fujita’s new serialization as a condition for his new serialization.

Fujita demanded Shimamoto’s new serial as a condition for his new series.

Either of these.

Silver Mountain is quite a straightforward title, isn’t it?

Because Shimamoto is shy, the readers feel shy too.

This series will surely become that way too.

What do you intend to do by bringing two manga authors?

>>107

I’ll bring in a new breeze.

>>111

There’s no new wind element, huh?

Fujita sounds interesting just because it’s a mountain.

Just because you’re a vampire doesn’t mean your catchphrase “Offer your blood!” isn’t outdated, right, Takamitsu? There seems to be a discussion like that.

The timing when I feel it’s interesting is generally around those points.

I feel like others are doing something, at least.

I think if you do it without being shy, you can gain considerable support… your manga skills are high after all.

Gags infused with awkwardness are a characteristic of Shimamoto’s works, and in “Howling Pen” and “Aoi Hono,” they work in a positive direction, but in story-driven manga, they only serve to hold it back.

The ultimate example of that is Asuka@Future Form.

>>115

It’s a gag, but I was surprised to hear that the love comedy with Moyu from Hoe Pen was finally taken seriously after being scolded by the editor for not doing a proper job.

“Did you really introduce a character just to attach it to such flames?!”

It’s reckless to fight Fujita head-on in a shounen manga, so I can’t just seal away the gags…

Both men and women will showcase visually appealing characters while incorporating gags and battles.

I see the winning strategy as waiting for Fujita’s self-destruction while the series in the style of Takashi Shiina stabilizes and continues to thrive.

>>116

I don’t think stable flight is possible at first…

>>119

As long as there are no political changes on the editorial side, Sunday tends to keep works that are fairly average alive for a long time…

I think if you hold the bat shorter and hit steadily, occasionally getting a buzz and extending it, there’s a chance to win.

Sunday is feeling nostalgic like the Heisei era again.

I don’t think there was any embarrassment in what is called a masterpiece of Shimamoto’s works (like “Adversity Nine”).

That said, it wasn’t purely serious; it was amusing to see the characters earnestly and passionately engage in sophistry.

But you really like pretty boys, don’t you, Shimamoto?

The fan base of Shimamoto has many people who don’t buy manga, so can a popularity contest against Jubilo even be established?

>>121

Shimamoto’s fans are indeed buying the manga, but the absolute number of them is still small.

You can tell from the number of subscribers to Shimamoto’s paid channel.

It might become… the second Conan…!

The vampire story I did in Big Comic had a strong Showa-era vibe, but I wonder if it can be properly tuned for a shonen magazine.

I think the character that Shimamoto drew will become interesting.

>>126

That’s something I want to read!

Kagurai has a pretty good visual design.

I say it’s embarrassing, but I think we’ve definitely moved on from the disastrous state of the early G Gundam days.

It’s not a joke like “sucking death.”

There are probably quite a few people who find Professor Shimamoto’s behavior interesting.

Once you become a fan of Shimamoto-sensei, well…

There is a paid channel.

I think registering for that is definitely for core fans.

Thinking in the style of Shimamoto manga, it’s fundamentally impossible for vampires to live in this era.

It will definitely lean more towards gags than absolute coolness.

I have seen Mr. Fujita’s work in anime a little, but that’s about it…

I’ve bought all of Aoi Honoo…

A good-looking guy exposing a pathetic side is quite likely to get a laugh.

I don’t know if he’ll be judged as a good-looking man based on his appearance…

It looks like a Showa-era manga.

I went to the talk show, so it was tough to stay silent.

Hearing that Fujita was preparing for a series, Shimamoto thought, “If it’s a simultaneous serialization, I can return to Sunday too!” and brought his work to Sunday, going through various things before finally securing the serialization.

>>139

It’s about time to give up your seat to the young people…

>>142

Because it’s the last weekly serialization for me at this age…

Big is justice.

Young people have the image of web serialization.

Everyone is only skimming through the interesting parts of the autobiographical manga, so they haven’t noticed.

My manga skills have greatly declined…

Please earn your seat through your abilities.

If you just post a boring manga just because it’s young, that would be missing the point.

Are you going to do both monthly and weekly?

It might not be interesting, but it seems that it could surprisingly survive in the current Sunday serialization.

In the first place, the president probably can’t handle a weekly serialization.

I liked Hero Company…

It’s already unreasonable for a full-time manga artist to juggle both weekly and monthly publications.

Isn’t it strange that he’s also doing the job of president?

If it’s a new manga, I can look forward to it even if it’s canceled.

Fujita is also worried, thinking like in a mountain comic, about whether both of them will be okay…?

It feels like it’s been a while since a new series in Sunday has become a hot topic.

It feels like everyone starts quietly and continues quietly.

I feel a bit of a smell like Asuka from a futuristic type.

It’s the president and CEO of Ivyc, which has over 500 employees, not some small individual business around the corner.

It’s enough to be drawing a doujinshi once a year as a hobby.

>>159

Please draw manga, President!

Even though it’s Shimamoto, at first glance it has a bit of a Gou-chan vibe, which makes it feel like there’s no sense of a new series.

It seems like it will end in about 5 volumes.

>>161

Is it around the time when Volume 5 continues for about a year…?

Is it a rise-to-fame story if you’re an idol?

In the past, there used to be music programs, which made it easier to create stories.

If the conversation progresses, they’ll probably talk about streaming.

I might do a story about getting invited to the Summer Festival after selling well, but not being able to bask in the sunlight.

Is it too clichéd?

In meta comics, even if it falls flat, it can be turned into a joke and be funny.

It’s tough because when the pointless antics start in Shimamoto’s manga, they continue until the very end.

Conan isn’t featured, Freiren isn’t featured, and Major isn’t featured either.

Is it because the main players are inconsistent that they called in average hitters?

Isn’t it tragic if only one side is cut off?

>>169

If that happens, we can make it a topic with “Howl Pen RRR”…

>>169

I never expected Shimamoto’s original to become so popular…

Well, I did calculate it and made it an idol thing, but what’s up with the recent vampires? Is it a trend I’m into, or have I just wanted to draw it for a long time?

A guy like me who tends to spin his wheels.

Since I’m using that character, it’s really tough to see them go in circles right in front of me…

I’ll watch if it’s TS.

Names that end with Wataru, Tooru, or Ru feel reminiscent of the ’80s.

Is the pose with a slight glimpse of breasts a part of the idol element…?

To be honest, at first glance I thought it was a werewolf, so the title led me to that conclusion.

I don’t know why, but titles like “Attributes of the Person + Name” have a strong Showa vibe, don’t they?

>>178

The flames of raging fire…

>>178

Aoi Honoo feels pretty much the same way.

I think Kazuhiko Shimamoto’s greatest work is Wonder Bit… to be frank, isn’t it more interesting than Hoepen or Honoo?

In the world of one-shot stories, if I remember correctly, there were also other Western monsters.

There have been live-action adaptations of Shimamoto’s works in Johnny’s.

It was inevitable to go for male idol things.
