At the same time, many bookstores in Hong Kong, including a magazine called "The Long Road to Life" that had only been on the market for three days, were stuck in a shortage.

There are many cartoonists in Hong Kong.

However, there are very few high-quality comics produced.

The local comics in Xiangjiang on the market today are not very popular, and they are more imitating Japanese style comics.

On the contrary, Japanese comics and adapted animations are very popular in Hong Kong.

In the 1960s and 1970s, after the "Astro Boy" animation was broadcast on Xiangjiang TV, it was loved by many teenagers, such as "Smart Ikkyu", "Doraemon", "Green Water Heroes", "Judo King Kong"

Many Japanese animations have successively occupied the animation market in Hong Kong.

In addition, Xiangjiang is also flooded with a large number of unauthorized copies of Japanese comics.

Although Xiangjiang also has its own comics, in terms of popularity, it cannot be compared with Japanese comics.

Looking back at the comics in Xiangjiang, except for a few such as "Old Master", there are no works.

And there are very few comics that can be adapted into animation.

Nowadays, a weekly comic magazine "The Long Road to Life" with the title of "local masterpiece" has quickly become popular all over Hong Kong after it was launched.

Many people even wonder if this is a new comic masterpiece from Japan.

However, after contacting friends in Japan, a caring person discovered that these two comics have never appeared in the Japanese market.

In other words, these two comics are really created by local cartoonists as advertised.

Taro Jono is a native of Japan. He is 22 years old this year. Because he likes Hong Kong movies, he taught himself the Hong Kong dialect during college. After graduating from college, he came to work for a Japanese company in Hong Kong as a planner.

Being able to speak Hong Kong dialect is his advantage, so in the company, he is very popular with the forty-year-old boss lady, who likes to take him with her when she goes out for social events and business trips.

It has been a full year since Taro Jono came to Xiangjiang, and he has already become accustomed to the life here.

As a young man, he liked reading comic books, especially "Doraemon". He started reading it when he was 14 years old, and it has been eight years now without stopping.

According to the serialization date of "Doraemon", the latest comic issue should have been released yesterday.

So, taking advantage of his free time today, he planned to go to the bookstore to buy the latest issue of a Japanese comic magazine.

After arriving at a relatively remote bookstore nearby, Taro Jono asked in standard Xiangjiang dialect and learned that "Doraemon" was not in stock yet, and he was a little disappointed.

"Are you looking for comics to read? There is a Xiangjiang comic magazine here. It is very popular. See if you like it. The latest issue of "Doraemon" will be back in stock tomorrow." Taro Jono is a regular customer in the store.

, the store owner saw his disappointed expression, so he took out his treasured copy of "The Long Road to Life" and handed it to Taro Jono.

Although this bookstore is relatively remote, the "Long Road to Life" magazine he had here was sold out early in the morning. He left a copy for himself yesterday and has already read it. He originally planned to collect it, but in the end he decided

I'll sell it to Taro Jouno. After all, the goods will come back tomorrow, so I'll just pick up another copy for collection.

"Ah, no, I don't like reading Xiangjiang comics." Taro Jono quickly refused.

"That's a real pity. Based on my many years of experience in reading comics, the quality of the two comics in this magazine is no worse than "Doraemon". If you don't read it, you'll be walking away with it." The boss said nonchalantly to the comics magazine.

Take it back and prepare to take it back for collection.

Anyway, he has no worries about selling this magazine.

However, just when Taro Jono was about to turn around and leave, he glanced at the cover of "The Long Road to Life" and suddenly became curious about the image of Sun Wukong on the cover.

"Wait a minute, boss, can you show me?" He asked out of curiosity.

"Take it and have a look. If you like it, buy it. If you don't like it, I'll take it back and keep it." The boss handed it to Taro Jouno again and said with a smile.

This store itself is relatively remote, so there are not many customers during this time.

Taro Jono sat directly on a stool nearby, opened the weekly "The Long Road to Life" and started reading.

The first half of this magazine serializes "Dragon Ball", and the second half serializes "Detective Conan". The serialized content is not much, and each series only serializes a few episodes, making it a magazine.

However, the content of "Dragon Ball" soon entered the plot. Taro Jono only read a few pages before he was deeply attracted by the content.

These two works were originally created by Japanese people in another world, so they are full of Japanese style.

When Taro Jono saw this, he lost control.

The store owner was very patient. Most people wouldn't show him so much. After all, why would he do business if he was just prostituted for free?

But he still didn't bother Taro Jono, planning to wait until he finished the first half of "Dragon Ball" before reminding him.

Because he knows that the two comics in this magazine are really good-looking, attractive and normal.

After about ten minutes, Taro Jono finally read all the content of "Dragon Ball" in the first half of the first issue of "The Long Road to Life", only to find that the next part was actually another comic, and he finally came to his senses.<

/p>

"Boss, how much does this magazine cost? I bought it." Taro Jono asked.

"2 Hong Kong dollars." The boss replied.

"Here are two Hong Kong dollars. I want the magazine. Thank you, boss." After handing the money to the bookstore owner, Taro Jono couldn't wait to go back to his residence.

Since the first half is so good, another comic in the second half shouldn’t be too bad either!

When he got home, he quickly read the comics of "Detective Conan".

After reading it, he looked at the magazine with regret, wondering when the next issue would be out?

But since it’s a weekly, it should be published once a week, right?

Taro Jono is already looking forward to the content that follows.

"By the way, next week is my sister Mami Jono's birthday. I didn't know what gift to give her at first, so I might as well give her this magazine. While I still have time, I will translate the above from Chinese into Japanese.

, and let my friends who are going back to Japan help bring this gift back to my sister. My sister will definitely like it very much." Taro Jono suddenly thought of this.

Before this, he had been thinking about what to give to his sister. Now, isn’t this a good gift?

My younger sister is currently studying in a middle school in Jingdong. Like most Japanese teenagers, she also likes to read comic books. The "Long Road to Life" comic magazine written in Japanese by him is definitely a unique birthday gift.

Thinking of this, he found a pen and began to mark some Chinese characters in the magazine with Japanese characters on the side.

What Taro Jono didn't know was that after his sister Mami Jono brought the magazine to school, it quickly spread like wildfire among classmates.

Finally, he was discovered by a middle-level manager working at Tokyo Kodan Publishing House and bought it with a lot of money.

This comic magazine, which has not yet been sold in Japan, has become very popular in Japan.

Subsequently, the president of Tokyo Kodan Publishing House came to Xiangjiang in person, planning to cooperate with Chivalrous Literature Media Company to publish these two comics in Japan.

As the largest comic publishing house in Japan, the president of Kotan Publishing House naturally knows the potential value of these two comics, and he does not want to miss such a good opportunity.
