When we came, Fang Yuan bought some small pastries as a meeting gift.

It was the first time I met at someone’s tea party, and I always felt that I couldn’t be too rude.

It was still early to get together, but Fang Yuan still knocked on the door politely.

Unexpectedly, the voice of Hirose Kanyin came soon, and the door was pushed open soon.

In an ordinary home dress, Kanyin Hirose showed a cheerful smile that she had never seen during her first meeting and greeted Fujii Kazura enthusiastically.

After politely handing over the pastries, Fang Yuan stepped into the small apartment.

The small apartment rented by Hirose Guanyin is very ordinary on two floors. Each floor is not big, only fifty square meters in size. One floor is used as a bedroom and studio, and the other floor is set as a living area and a party area.

As a man who rarely cleans and cleans, Fang Yuan admires Hirose Kanyin for being able to dress up a small house in an orderly manner. She looks much more spacious indoors than she actually does, and I don’t know what the principle is.

Tokyo is a place where innumerable land is worth tens of millions of people are struggling to survive in this international metropolis. The pressure is no less than the pressure of survival in the future of the Chinese imperial capital and the demon capital.

Countless boys and girls came to this city, perhaps just to see the most splendid metropolis in their country and breathe in the atmosphere of modernity.

Because in this era, or in later eras, all media and cultures of the island country are centered on Tokyo.

At this time, there were two women and one man in the party area. They both looked in their twenties and were very young, but their appearance was relatively ordinary and they were of no distinctive type.

However, the two women look a bit similar in appearance. If they are not mistaken, they should be two sisters.

Seeing that the three people looked at him, Fang Yuan smiled and without waiting for Hirose Kanyin to introduce him, he took the initiative to say, "Hello everyone, my name is Fujii Kazura. I was fortunate to be invited by Miss Hirose to attend the tea party. I am so happy. Please give me some advice."

After listening to Fujii Kazura's introduction, the two women looked at each other and then smiled.

In fact, Hirose Kanyin told them just now that there was a very talented young cartoonist coming. At that time, they had already guessed who the other party was and had imagined many "his" personalities.

Now it seems that it is not difficult to get along with.

"Hello, my name is Chie Takao. I'm here for the first time. Please give me some advice."

"Hello, my name is Taki Yuri, and I am Qianhui's cousin. Please give me some advice."

Both of them seemed quite happy. After all, only four of them attended the Hirose Kanyin tea party. Now there is an "like-minded" person, which makes them all look a little excited. If there are newcomers, they say that they have become seniors and have been promoted, which is great.

The only man was a little more enthusiastic. After seeing Fang Yuan walk in, he stood up with the two female companions, stretched out his hand to Fang Yuan, and smiled and said, "Hello, I am Koharu Sato... Do you think the name is very special? It doesn't matter, my parents gave me such a name for this."

The other party complained like this, which made him no noise at all. He was a werewolf.

Fang Yuan could only smile and stretched out his hand and shook it with the other party, then found a seat and sat down.

Since I am a new understanding, of course, I will always talk about my situation in the early stage.

Hirose Kanyin and everyone in her tea party were students who had studied at Tokyo School before and got to know each other through common hobbies.

When they were students, they had considered their future work, which was to become cartoonists.

For this reason, they participated in the animation club when they were in the club, and they also drew some simple square comics and short fairy tale comics, and accumulated a lot of experience.

It was also during the submissions at that time that several people of different levels met each other, and their friendship became more and more stable in various exchanges later.

However, after graduation one after another, the confidence of several people was quickly defeated by reality.

At the beginning, they were like Fujii Fangyuan, without knowing that the sky was high and the earth was strong, so they directly took their improved graduation work to submit to the editorial department of the four major comic weekly magazines, but they were directly rejected.

From then on, the few people started a life that was unbearable to look back on. Because they had not yet escaped from the innocence and childishness of their students, they had to live in this cruel metropolis, who insisted on their dreams.

The carefree life of students gave them plenty of time to discuss their works and slowly create their beloved works, but this situation is simply out of place for the comics industry.

There are restrictions on the requirements for works of each magazine. You often need to draw as many pages as you want to draw, and you need to modify whatever content.

People won’t care about your mood of doing better. When the time is specified, they will look at your works.

ha?

You haven't finished drawing yet?

Can it be modified better?

What does this matter to me? Do you think readers will wait for you to draw slowly here?

Sorry, I think changing a work would be more practical than asking readers to wait.

At the same time, in order to maintain a minimum living life, they basically rent in the suburbs, and have to take a car to work and eat bento every day, which costs a lot, and are often in a state of no savings.

In this state, it is too difficult to create a satisfactory work with all your heart.

During the chat, Fang Yuan noticed that the high-generation sisters, Sato Koharu and Hirose Kanyin all used smiles to tell these problems that were once, or still existed now.

He also sighed softly for several friends who had been like-minded but were finally knocked down by reality.

Several people worked hard in Tokyo for two to five years, with Sato Koharu having the longest time and Hirose Kanyin having the shortest time.

But even though it was so difficult, the four of them never gave up their dreams and careers they liked.

Among them, the high-generation sisters rely on providing drawings to advertising companies to maintain their lives and their own painting skills, while Sato is an assistant to a less-known cartoonist.

The youngest Hirose Kanyin is the most accomplished of the four. Last year, she successfully published her works in a "big comic magazine" (the circulation of tens of thousands is indeed quite large), and she entered the ranks of quasi-comic artists.

It was precisely because of that work that Hirose Kanyin had enough income to rent this small apartment, otherwise she might be hiding in a basement where she rented a cheap house.

In the chat that gradually became familiar, Fang Yuan slowly relaxed his heart. After all, this kind of chatting between friends can easily make people relax and feel happy.

He did not hide it, and told me about his life as a bad boy a few months ago, but he still went through some artistic processing. For example, in fact, my dream of coaching was to draw comics. I set a goal for myself since I learned to learn Chinese. Although I turned a big turn in the middle...

But I love comics from my sincerity!

So I drew, so I submitted my articles, so I was praised by the editor.

Chiei Takayo: "..."

High-generation lily: "…"

Sato Koharu: "..."

Hirose Guanyin: “…”
