Focusing on 2D and 3D creators’ work introduction website MUGENUP sub-station 1UP opened a column called “Strategy’s Survival Artist’s Strategy Textbook”, which was the first time to commemorate the column, and invited the popular cartoonist – – Asada Hiroyuki
Describes the “I’ll ~ Fantasy Basketball ~” for the youth who gave their youth to basketball, and the posthumous story of the postman who loves to cry to save the world. The comics in Asada’s pens have a cold side at first glance, but after the story is gradually unfolded, people can always feel the eager and gentle feelings of people. How did these warm-hearted and warm stories come about? How did Hiroyuki Asada, who was born in Yokohama in 1968, lived on the road of cartoonists?
I’ll/CKBC “Lilac of that day” vol.2.
In the elementary school, because of some things in the family, my parents will be in Asylum in Asahi. There was an aunt who was responsible for caring for them, a total of ten individuals, from the first grade to the grade of primary school. The life there gave a great influence to Asada, and today’s personality is also formed there. Although there is always some inconvenience in the shelter, in general there is no place for him to feel uncomfortable, and even now he still misses the life of the year
It’s about what made him feel the most uncomfortable at the time, that is, he was suffering from a child’s breathing. Because it is still small, I can’t understand what it is. I suddenly had difficulty breathing in the middle of the night. I even thought about “Is it going to die like this? Maybe it’s a relief if you leave it.” Thinking about such a view of life and death is now still in his memory. The children’s wheezing and the life of the shelter are not what they want, but “even if you have to live strong,” these ideas were more or less reflected in the words and deeds of the comic characters
In the shelter, the time for watching TV is restricted, and there is no other way of entertainment. The shelter is forbidden to read magazines and can only watch the booklet, so Asada borrows a comic book from a friend. What he first felt was the work of Jiangkou’s teacher. From “Go ahead! ! Pirates like it very much, “Stop! ! The Skylark decided the work of his life. Because of the encounter with Jiangkou’s work, it was made that Asada was vowed to become a cartoonist. Therefore, the masterpieces of Jiangkou’s teacher and the handcuffs and phlegm doctors’ masters are the same for him. There are also works by Fujiko Fujio, teacher Shihiko Mori, teacher Matsumoto, teacher Nagai, and teacher Chiba. They also borrowed some girl comics from the girls around, which is an accumulation of experience for him
It is a matter of course that children live with their parents and family members, and their parents are alive. The collective life of the shelter will be so interesting, and there will be times when people feel lonely. Now I also have contacts with friends in past shelters, but I rarely talked to people at the time. Matsumoto’s “Sunny” takes place in a shelter called “The Son of the Stars”, which tells the story of a baby from a babble to a teenage adolescent. The son of the star has a group of children who have been forgotten by their parents. Asada looked very uncomfortable because he was such a child, so he couldn’t read the book. Because he can’t forget the life in the shelter, remember more clearly the sadness of each child at that time and cover up the sadness of every day. The experience and mood there have been hidden in his heart. But because of this, it is only for him to find the only dream of his life – comics
At that time, Asada painted his own character every day, went to Linyi’s favorite comics, and often took a large piece of paper and folded it and then drew a comic book. When Asada wanted to be a cartoonist in kindergarten, probably because his painting was praised by the teacher, but at the time it was not certain whether he really wanted to be a cartoonist. I determined that this dream was in elementary school, because Asada realized that the cartoonist is a career worthy of respect as a professional baseball player and astronaut
“I’ll ~ Dream Basketball ~” Single Line Volume 1
After attending high school, Asada began to read books other than comics and began to “find words” to create “own image.” Like the favorite paintings and images, Asada believes that “trustworthy language” will create itself. So I tried to read some novels and poems. When I listened to music, I also paid attention to the lyrics. Therefore, I prefer to listen to Japanese songs. Even if I listen to English songs, I will go to the corresponding Japanese translation
The words of Zhongyuan Zhongya and Miyazawa Kenji are heart-wrenching. At that time, although he could not fully understand the profound meaning of the poem, the scenery he saw and the feeling he experienced when he read it was the same as when he listened to music. The novel of Wu Ren Xiao Lu made him learn what is called “correct”. The “correct” written by Wu Ren Xiao Lu also has a profound impact on Asada’s outlook on life and young manga. The well of Kang Long’s novel is like poisoning, and it’s uncomfortable without looking at the follow-up. At the third grade of junior high school, Asada had already read the novels of Tsutsui, and tried to find alternatives, but failed to find them. This is the excitement that Tsutsui’s novels bring to him
“The sorrow of filth… The Central Plains also contains poetry.”
There is a cheap cinema in the vicinity of Asada Life Circle. Usually only three films are shown. At that time, it happened to be a “transfer student”, when Asada was about 15 years old, this became his “deaf” with Dalin Xuanyan. I haven’t rented a videotape at that time, so it’s not easy to see the past works, but also let him look forward to Dalin’s next “Girls through Time and Space.” Dalin’s film has the distress of youth, which is exactly the same as the guilt, innocence and homesickness he felt when he was a child. Also, your own “belief.” It was these complex feelings that made him stick to it
In August 2015, a book written by Shimada Shima, “The cartoonist, said the movie. ——9 ghosts talked about the secret of creation. Please go to Asada Hiroyuki to draw a cover on the book. As a commemoration of the sale of the book, I specially invited Asada to have a special conversation with the long-held Dalin Supervisor. At the time, in front of Dalin’s supervision, Asada had been uneasy and deeply afraid of saying something wrong. After that, Asada also had contacts with Dalin’s supervision
Last year, the Asada family was also invited to the filming scene by Dalin Supervisor. Asada arrived at the scene early in the morning and saw that Dalin Supervisor had already waited for a long time. When he went back in the evening, the scene had been cleared. The Dalin Supervisor and the couple also returned. There. Dalin has been in his early 80s. It is also very difficult to stand up. In the state of poor health, he has been sitting next to the monitor. Is it still being revised and revised on Taiwan? Asada was shocked by the creative spirit of Dalin. Looking at his figure, Asada was crying. From him, Asada once again felt that this is the real creator
“The cartoonist, talking about movies. – 9 ghosts talk about the secret of creation”: Shimada Yoshi, cover: Asada Hiroyuki.
Asahi’s first comic in the true sense was when he was 17-18 years old. At that time, he was working on a zero-cost job with no money, and he had to pay a loan of 25,000 yen for the motorcycle every month. Later, he decided to simply give a job to resign, to certify comics, and to think about living in the comics. With this unrealistic idea, Asada officially embarked on the road to becoming a professional cartoonist
“I must officially debut as a cartoonist!” Asada took the completion draft to the editorial department of the weekly magazine of the weekly magazine, but the editor gave him a reaction that made him feel less satisfied. “You have too many paper stickers on this site.” “The line here is drawn out.”… It wasn’t that I wanted to hear about Asada. He hoped that the editor could tell him how the character was shaped and the story was written. It wasn’t these trivial The thing is the content of the more trunk comics
After the editor gave him a sentence, “Let’s bring it next time.” Asada thought, this is hard to draw, I hope this story can be seen by more people, and there is a motorcycle loan to be anxious, so Asada finally brings this work and another funny short story. The manga went to vote for the newcomer award in the monthly magazine JUMP. This work is the debut of Asada Hiroyuki. In 1986, the monthly magazine Jubilee JUMP comics was selected, and then published in the September issue of the monthly juvenile JUMP Original. At that time, the director of the “Monthly Juvenile JUMP” was very interested in “Writing the Secrets…” and immediately contacted Asada
“ask the secret world…”.
Editing is “the first reader” for cartoonists, so choosing editors is very important for cartoonists. However, when you submit a manuscript directly to the editorial department, you can’t choose to edit it. Only when you submit a new man’s prize, you can give multiple editors a point. In a sense, there is more “advantage” or “higher probability of being left behind.” The final judgment is of course the author himself, but when the editor is watching the comics, he should pay special attention to his first reaction. Pretending not to look at him, but not even let his blood vessels move, carefully observe. For newcomer cartoonists, the editor is a partner, a comrade-in-arms, and a “mountain that has to climb”
At the time when Asada just debuted, there was a little comic editor because of the Shueisha who wanted to make comics. I went to “Playboy” and liked literature to “昴”. The editors who were assigned to comic magazines often envied others in the back, complaining that they were sent to make comics. However, the submitted cartoonists are meant to be interesting by such editors in order to survive in the comics world. Having said that, this group of editors is not a half-lover, they are true people. Really boring comics, they will tear your face, interesting words will pull the cartoonist to the hot coffee shop to talk, and even the editor can be moved to tears on the spot
Asada sighs that it is not the same as that of the past, and there are very few cartoonists and editors. Asada said that especially for newcomers, if there is no editor, then the comic creation is a good “nothing to appreciate art”, saying that it is a “self-indulgent world.”
When Asuka was first published in the magazine, Asada called an excitement, and not to mention that year, it is now exciting to see his own comics in the magazine. A while ago, “JUMP SQ.” also published his poster page, and when he got the magazine, Asada had the feeling of “drying beautifully”. This feeling has not changed for many years. Although the industry has gradually had a tendency to not need publishers and magazines, but for Asada, there is always a “longing for comic magazines” for people of his age

Now Asada will use social platforms to communicate with readers. When you see the speed of your proliferation, you will be shocked. Even if the media changes, there are still many readers who have supported him from the past. When these old readers can He shared his memories with him through the social platform
After debuting in “Ask the Secrets…”, Asada first worked as an assistant at the side of Mr. Otani, who was the first time he saw the “workplace of professional cartoonists.” After two and a half years around Xiaogu’s teacher, Asada always feels that he has little influence on himself, and when he is behind, he will write the character and feel unconsciously progressing
“Teacher’s teachings” is “Give me the end, draw”. At that time, he couldn’t think about it. When he was busy, he didn’t want to sleep for two days. Until he finished the manuscript, he could only nap and disappear. Then he continued to sleep for two days. This cycle took two and a half years. If you continue this way, your body will definitely not be able to eat
As an assistant, Asada will also consider the performance he wants. While helping the teacher, I also cast short articles in 2 to 3 magazines. After all, I can’t always work as an assistant. I have to be independent one day, so I must concentrate on my work. This mood is year after year. Strong
The original serialized work “Fast and Bad Angels” was painted by Asada in the period of being an assistant. At that time, Asada submitted the comics for serial use to the editor, but from a certain period, it was impossible to draw anything. At this time, the editor said to him, “I have a plan, do you want to try it?” This is the prototype of “Bast Speed Bad Angel”
“Fast and Bad Angels” Single Line Book 1
The original project was a collaborative work with a toy project, but it was strictly more serious. The toy company wanted to make its toy car appear in a comic book similar to the “Freak Car Race”. However, in the early days, Asada thought that this was not in harmony with himself and he did not want to pick it up. At this time, he wrote a setting in a perfunctory manner with a failure and no loss. He did not expect to be an editor and editor. “But it is completely funny comics, but the plan is written on a serious route.” Asada is stunned. Then the editorial department said to him, “Just according to your thoughts.” The result was to exclude the original plan to link with the toy, and started the first serial of Asada
Because it was the first serial, it was tired of Asada, who had no experience at the time. At the beginning, Asada asked me to be an editor and an assistant. I edited the phrase “As soon as you are a newcomer, the cartoonist wants to hire an assistant, it is still 10 years earlier!” The result is that the background, the network, and the black are all taken by Asada. “Fast and Bad Angels” ended in “waist”, but this is not surprising to Asada. It would be better to say that he thought it would be cut in three rounds. The result lasted for a year and a half, and even the sales of the single-line book sold well. As an initial serial, it is enough to have such a score
After the “Bad Speed Bad Angel”, Asada changed his style, and the next “Sleep Rabbit” and “Lianhua” all had a strong personal style, and they established their own style. Asada said, after all, “Fantastic Bad Angels” was not a comic book that he wanted to paint, and even some resistance, and then he would return to the serious comics he wanted to paint. The editor-in-chief at the time said that he could not understand the work of Sleeping Rabbit, but it is because of this that it is worth a try. Being an editor can understand the theme he wants to express, and he is also a very powerful assist
Unfortunately, the votes in the magazine are very low. Asada recalled, the Kanban at that time was “Shentong Junior”, and it was not surprising that the vote was low. However, the single-line book is still ok. Now that the serials of the monthly magazines are no longer seen, the one-stop sale can still survive, but the “Monthly Juvenile JUMP” at that time always voted for supremacy, so the voting will naturally be stopped
Asada, although I don’t think that the ranking is very low, it means that the comics are not good, but at that time, I was still young and full of confidence, and I could definitely draw interesting comics. Asada said that if the cartoonist does not have such “unfounded self-confidence”, it will definitely not persist. To believe in the comics you have drawn well, one day will be recognized by the readers
