Fujimoto, a talented "neuropathy", a manga artist between a genius and a madman!
Compared to Japanese hot-blooded manga artists such as Akira Toriyama, Kishi Kishimoto, and Eiichiro Oda, I prefer such strange and gloomy and absurd manga artists as Akino Makoto, Kazuo Hiroshi, Junji Ito, Yoshiki Takaya, and Kentaro Miura.
In 2016, I happened to see "Yan Fist", although the painting style is slightly immature and the action scenes are substandard, but from the two aspects of "brain hole" and "depression", it is not inferior to many dark comic masters at all! When I learned that the author of this manga, Fujimoto, was born in 1992, I predicted that this kid's future must be limitless!
Fujii Shu: Born in 1992, serialized "Yan Fist" (ending) from 2016 to 2018, serialized "Chainsaw Man" from 2018 to 2020 (the first part has ended, and the second part will be serialized in 2022), as well as some excellent short stories "Looking Back", "Goodbye Eri" and so on. Please eat his works with confidence, and at present, it will not be like those old thieves in the pit.
There are many strange things surrounding the liana tree, and we will say a few casually:
1. Birth: Fujimoto was born on October 10, 1992, in order to raise public awareness of mental development disorders, the World Psychiatric Association proposed for the first time that October 10 of each year be designated as "World Mental Health Day".
In the dark... Why is he working hard, but it looks gloomy?
2. Declaration: Fujimoto studied at Northeast University of Arts and Technology, he had not studied sketching, the background of the painter was very thin, and he was very envious of his classmates' painting skills, so he issued a murder declaration: "If you can't draw better than these people in four years, kill them all." and suicide declaration: "Die if you don't debut in two years".
Fortunately, in 2013, at the age of 21, he won the comic book newcomer award through the short story "Love is Blind", and he and everyone were saved from death.
3. Praise: According to the above article, Fujimoto should be an arrogant guy, but during the interview, this guy is infinitely demeaning himself and praising others without restraint!
For example, interviewing him on how to draw action scenes, Fujii Shu said that compared with Toru Kamiyama, his animation scenes are simply Sho, and he is not worthy of talking about this issue at all!
Another time Fujii Shu had a conversation with Hiroaki Samura, and Fujimoto touted how good Hiroaki Samura was throughout the whole process, and what he painted was rubbish.
Sand Village Guangming: ... Commercial blowing does not fit your "neurosis" personality at all, shouldn't you say, I'm really a genius!
4. Split: Fujimoto Shu has been pretending to be his fictional sister in the third grade elementary school girl for many years on Twitter, growing up Yama Koharu, feeling fat house, sister control and split, and was later discovered, but still pretended that he was not discovered.
Once Koharu Nagayama (Fujimoto) fancy praised Ghibli cartoons on Twitter. Ghibli official pretended not to understand: Thank you Koharu, and also trouble you to convey your brother on your behalf, the chainsaw man is very interesting.
Unexpectedly, Fujimoto then said: From today I am Ghibli's dog, please take care of me!
Official Ghibli: ... →_→ deserves to be you!
The chainsaw man Denji also said that he wanted to be Machima's dog! What kind of hobby is this?
The picture below shows the vine tree that feels that you can fly, not a neuropathy, hereby declare!
In addition, we recommend Fujimoto's two small long-form manga:
1. "Yan Fist"
"Yan Fist" is Fujimoto's (then 24-year-old) first full-length serialized manga, and when I read it back then, I felt that although the artwork was still as fine as "The Legend of Sword Wind", the ability to "cause depression" had the charm of Kentaro Miura.
This is a comic with a doomsday science fiction theme: this is a doomsday world where resources are exhausted and the sun disappears, and alien humans with various superpowers are called "blessings", and most of the "blessings" are very miserable, such as some can generate electricity, they are caught and provide electricity day and night, life is better than death.
And the protagonist Agni and his sister have the ability to die and regenerate, in order not to let the people in the village starve to death, the brother cuts off his arms every day to make food for everyone, and one day Duoma, who has the ability to not extinguish the fire, came to the village to punish the villagers who committed the crime of "cannibalism", as a result, the villagers and the weaker sister were burned to death, and Agni burned while regenerating, and endured burning pain all day long for revenge "Yan Fist"!
This is how the story unfolds.
Later, I learned that Fujimoto was inspired by the Japanese children's animation "Anpanman", Anpanman tore bread off and fed it to hungry children, and Fujii directly materialized this image, which seems very cruel and painful, and because if you don't die, you have to bear the fire all the time, no wonder the protagonist is called Agnoy.
Although this work is Fujimoto's first full-length work, but the setting is weird, the brain hole is novel, once it is serialized, it is very popular, it is recommended that everyone eat it with confidence, because it is over, and the ending has not collapsed, I will not spoil, highly recommended!
2. "Chainsaw Man"
"Chainsaw Man" is also called "Chainsaw Man", and Fujimoto Shu (then 26 years old) started a new feature after finishing "Yan Fist". This comic is more mature than "Yan Fist" in terms of drawing and plot handling.
This is a comic with an urban fantasy theme: this is a modern world, there are demons, demons are intelligent life beyond humans, demons occupy the human body to become depersonalized demons, and demon hunters who sign contracts with demons, this is a strange world.
And the protagonist Denji has been doing miscellaneous work for the gang in order to pay off his parents' debts, and accidentally adopted a chainsaw demon Pochita, and later the gang was manipulated by the zombie demon and killed Denji. The chainsaw demon Pochita volunteered to become the heart of Denji in order to save Denji, and then the "Chainsaw Man" Denji was born, and Denji was taken in by the public security for Magic 4 lesson Machima as a demon hunter.
This is how the story unfolds.
As for why the protagonist chose "chainsaw"? Fujimoto explains that chainsaws are used to cut down "trees" ...
This work will be made into 12 episodes of cartoons in 2022, you can watch it if you are interested, but it is not as enjoyable as reading comic books. At the same time, Fujimoto has also begun to serialize the second part, which is highly recommended.
To sum up, maybe Fujimoto, who has a sword that goes too far, will never become a hot-blooded manga artist like Eiichiro Oda! And everyone doesn't want him to become such a cartoonist, I hope he can stick to the right path and have regular seizures!
As long as the Fujimoto tree is not exhausted, or is on par with the old thieves, this guy will eventually become a generation of evil sect grandmasters in the future!
