Tsuchiya Sansuke's manga seems to be quite normal upon inspection.
In the manga, the hero first demonstrates his fighting power, killing a few monsters at the beginning to give readers a basic impression.
Then, upon hearing the king's legend of the hero, it is revealed that he seems to be of ancient heroic lineage. The king immediately announces a summons, and then the hero accepts the king's request to go and rescue the princess.
This is the content presented in the extended version, spanning nearly forty pages.
From this, it can be seen that Ikeda Daigo truly favors Tsuchiya Sansuke, as he can still provide forty pages when new works are released, despite having fallen out of favor for several years.
Overall, the story is very compact, and upon closer inspection, readers will also be attracted to the story.
However, since it's about a hero fighting dragons, it's appropriate for it to be a typical heroic comic.
Although Takayuki doesn't know the professional terms of those comics, he understands the concept of typical heroic comics.
A typical heroic comic should attract readers with excellent framing and exciting fights, rather than lengthy text descriptions like plain water.
Even if there are, it shouldn't take up too much space. That's Takayuki's own opinion.
And with such long descriptions, the manga starts to taste a bit like American comics.
So that's why Takayuki finds it awkward.
It's not that the American comic style is bad, but since it's Japanese comics he's reading, one should be mentally prepared for the Japanese comic style.
Takayuki casually picked up paper and pen, and then started writing and drawing on it.
He's not a manga artist, but there's no problem with roughly sketching some familiar manga battle scenes from his previous life.
Just copying it.
Anyway, in this world, everything from games, manga, movies, and so on is different from the previous life, so there's no need to worry about copyright issues when copying.
So, Takayuki simply depicted the most memorable Dragon Ball battle scene from his memory.
However, Takayuki's elementary school-level drawing skills are not worth mentioning. As long as people can understand what's going on, it's fine.
Tsuchiya Sansuke on the side doesn't particularly care.
He just casually looks at it.
However, as Takayuki finishes drawing one page of the draft, he is slightly attracted by the action scenes in it.
It's the duel scene between Kid Goku and Ten Shinhan at the World Martial Arts Tournament.
This seems a bit outdated in Takayuki's era.
But this fight scene fits perfectly with the protagonist of Dragon Quest in terms of body type.
Moreover, the artists of both works are the same person. It's not a problem to say that the protagonist of Dragon Quest is a parallel world version of Son Goku.
On the paper, a somewhat ugly and shaky character leaps high, clashes fists and feet with the enemy, then the enemy executes a sweeping kick, flips in mid-air, and then strikes forcefully, delivering a heavy blow to the enemy's chin, causing significant damage.
The whole process is very tense, roughly presented in two pages of fighting scenes.
In fact, by the time of Dragon Ball, Japan's manga industry's framing system had gradually matured, becoming more and more similar to the framing system of movies, making characters more vivid and three-dimensional.
In this parallel world, it has actually developed to the same extent.
It's just that Tsuchiya Sansuke himself didn't develop in this direction.
"Well... that's about it. I imagine the hero should be fighting the enemy with simple pictures, rather than describing the fight through text. If it's just text, it might as well be a novel."
Takayuki spent a full half hour drawing two pages.
And in such a short time, the drawing skills of this draft are really nothing to boast about.
The characters' images are trembling.
But the actions of the characters can be easily understood.
At this point, Tsuchiya Sansuke is no longer speaking, but silently staring at Takayuki's draft.
Only two pages, but they contain a lot of content.
It turns the battle from the dry story introduction at the beginning into a dangerous and hot-blooded battle scene in an instant.
Unless he's delusional, he would think his level is more professional than Takayuki's.
"Takayuki-san, have you... never learned manga before?"
"Uh, of course not. Look at how I've drawn it. I've tried my best to draw seriously, just afraid you won't recognize what I'm drawing."
Takayuki can't even bear to look at those messy things he's drawn.
If you ask him to use a computer to create some pixelated characters, there's no problem, he can do it in minutes.
But once it comes to drawing, he immediately becomes a complete novice.
After all, his previous specialization was not in this field, nor did he intend to deliberately learn it. Let others do it, he'll just enjoy it.
In Takayuki's view, this is his true situation.
But in Tsuchiya Sansuke's view, this is humility.
Learning to draw or something, just learn a little bit, and with some serious study for seven or eight years, it should be no problem to draw decently.
But some things can't be truly understood by just learning casually.
Sometimes some things really rely on talent or luck.
The original One Punch Man manga was terrible, but because of the exciting story, the art no longer mattered.
And sometimes, a work with average art and story level can rise significantly due to excellent framing.
Now, Tsuchiya Sansuke has the drawing skills, and Takayuki has provided the story.
Adding them together, it's basically a passable manga level.
If the framing is stronger, the level can indeed rise significantly.
Is this Takayuki, a manga genius?
With such good talent, he can create excellent stories and draw excellent frames. As long as he works hard to improve his drawing skills, he probably won't have to worry about food and clothing in the manga world.
And Takayuki has no concept of this.
Because his mind is full of games.
Manga? This world is not lacking in that. There's no sense of accomplishment in getting involved.
Takayuki feels that Tsuchiya Sansuke's gaze at him right now seems a bit strange.
Could this guy have some special fetish?
Takayuki propped his hands on the ground, subconsciously moved his butt a little, to get away from Tsuchiya Sansuke.
"Takayuki-san, you really have talent. I'm glad you're not a manga artist, and I regret that you're not a manga artist."
Tsuchiya Sansuke sighed, suddenly feeling a sense of frustration.
He has been working so hard for so many years, completely relying on his love to persist in drawing manga, but he can't overcome absolute talent.
Takayuki's simple framing draft is enough for him to learn for a while.
He had learned other things before, but other framing drafts were finished products, while Takayuki's was more like a deconstruction, thoroughly analyzing what the framing was all about, making it easier for him to understand.
Now he can completely follow this template to create many similar actions and then enrich them.
It seems that he needs to study real manga techniques well again, and can't just bury himself in his own world.
This is the first time Tsuchiya Sansuke, who has been self-secluded, has had the idea of actively learning.
"It seems you can accept my advice."
Looking at Tsuchiya Sansuke's reaction, Takayuki feels that things should be stable.
Tsuchiya nodded vigorously. "Of course, Takayuki-san, your advice is indeed very useful. I will strive to make modifications in this aspect. As for what I drew before..."
Tsuchiya looked at the several pages of drawings he had already completed with some heartache.
But he gritted his teeth and decided to completely abandon them and start over. In the second chapter, he would present himself to the readers with a new face.
Takayuki himself didn't expect to bring about such a big change to Tsuchiya Sansuke. He was just happy that his publicity plan could continue to be perfectly executed.
And next, it's basically waiting for the official release day, and all the other preparations have been completed.
It is said that in Japan, there is a custom of worshiping the gods before the release of works such as movies and animations. Should he also follow this custom?
But what would be the god of games?
