“THE COMIQ” is a short comic written by Takahashi and Hiroshi in the “Weekly Junior JUMP” in 2018, which is the last of the 50th anniversary of “Weekly Juvenile JUMP”. The short story is also a new comic book by Takahashi and Hiroshi after a long absence from the “Swimming ☆ ☆ King”. Because it is a commemorative project, Takahashi chose to use “manga” as the theme and challenge the subject matter of reasoning that has not been seen in the past

The protagonist of the story is a newcomer cartoon who is finally able to serialize on “Weekly Girl JUMP”. However, his comic manuscript hides an unspeakable secret, which happened on Christmas Eve 3 years ago. The killing incident. I thought that the prisoner had been caught, and the incident came to an end. I did not expect it to be mentioned again in this cartoon. The wonderful combination of the newcomer cartoonist and the assistant in prison will unravel the truth of the facts

In order to match the theme of this reasoning, Takahashi put on the style of American cartoon style, for which Takahashi teacher also explained at the end of the single-line book, “If it is the observation power of (Wudo) game, one second The murderer can be dismantled, so the protagonist is set to be more intimate and awkward and a little dull. The story is very clever, and the truth is also the best idea through the background of the comics. Only Takahashi is the only one. The quasi-voice text “☆” is still alive, the unique layout design keeps the reader’s appetite from time to time, and the short story of nearly 200 pages is in one go. The tension is gradually approaching the truth, and the puzzle is solved in a flash. Make people hooked

In the postscript, Takahashi’s teacher wrote that “Travel ☆ Drama ☆ King” is the story of Pharaoh Atum’s soul liberation from the Millennium Building Blocks. The short story “DRUMP” published in 2013 is the liberation of the dragon, high. The bridge’s personal version of the script, “You ☆ ☆ Dark Side of Wang Diyuan” is also the story of the liberation of the hippocampus from the “prison of the soul”, “THE COMIQ” is also the story of “liberation and freedom.” When drawing a comic book, Takahashi strictly followed this point. There is no one that exceeds the cutting line. The cover of each word also uses “box” to express “closed and suppressed” until the last page exceeds the cutting line. Fully expressed “liberation and freedom.”

In addition to the “liberation” of the plot, Takahashi was also liberated from paper on painting. The comics also reveal the benefits of flat painting from time to time. For the first time, comics have been used for illustrations and cards in the past. Takahashi uses the iPad purchased in 2017, and the related ideas also use the recording software that comes with the iPad. The background is handed over by the assistant, and the composition is decided at the stage of comics. The one is sent to the cloud for the assistant to download. Because it is the iPad, it can be operated at home, on the plane, on the toilet (…) It is also OK. Procreate is used for painting software. Although there is also the official JUMP Paint of Shueisha, Takahashi advocates which one is easy to use. The size of the original paper is 6071×8598 px (600dpi), and it is painted using Apple Pencil. In addition, Takahashi also recommends attaching a paperlike paper film, which makes it easier to get started. The dot paper is operated by Clip Studio, but the drawing data on Procreate must be converted before use. For Takahashi, which is already presbyopia, iPad painting has undoubtedly many advantages. For example, when you have a backache, you can lie down and draw. The wrong place can be modified innumerable times, but in communication with assistants and data on the cloud. There is still room for improvement in terms of disappearing without any reason, actual painting time is longer than painting on paper. In general, Takahashi also said that it is very interesting to use the iPad for serial operation

This is the name of “super orthodox reasoning comics”. Strictly speaking, suspense comics are more appropriate. Although it is not necessary to use reasoning, observation is extremely important. When you read this comic, it is very It’s easy to be attracted to the story, but this will make you ignore some important clues, that is, the background, even at the beginning of Takahashi, you have already buried the understanding of the final puzzle, but only after watching the comics Only then can I know. Of course, this also explains from the side that Takahashi and Hitachi are good at the story, and he is led by him unconsciously and brought into the world of comics
