As the saying goes, three hundred and sixty lines, the line out of the side business (wrong). Voice actors have a side hustle, how can a cartoonist not have a side hustle! Because of the skill point of drawing, in addition to comics, cartoonists can also draw illustrations, draw book covers, or do planning to obtain additional income, so it is not uncommon for cartoonists to use illustrators, designers, other cartoonist assistants, manga teachers, etc. as side jobs. Of course, some cartoonists' side business will not play cards according to common sense, such as Xu Feigang, the author of "The Prince of Tennis", who is well known to everyone some time ago, officially debuted with his musical talent and high appearance, becoming the only exclusive artist under Shueisha.
In addition to Mr. Xu Feigang, there are many cartoonists whose side business has nothing to do with drawing, and some of them do not make money on their side business, but are pure hobbies. In fact, most cartoonists themselves are busy serializing, and basically have little time to participate in it, if they devote themselves to the side business... That's the cartoonist's inaction. Now let's take a look at the side hustle of cartoonists who don't play cards according to common sense!
Serious side hustle series
Katsuyo Otomo: Animation director & screenwriter
Katsuyo Tomo, a famous cartoonist and animator, was a manga artist who debuted in 1973 and wrote masterpieces such as "Children's Dreams" and "Akira". In 1983, after taking on the role design of the animated film "Magic Wars", Katsuyo Otomo became acquainted with animation production and stepped into the field of animation. The following year, he co-directed Labyrinth Story, and serialized Akira in Kodansha's weekly magazine Magazine magazine, Weekly Young Magazine.
Katsuyo Otomo animated his manga Akira in 1988 as a supervisor and created a wave of Japanese animation in Western society at the time. Later, he also directed masterpieces such as "Memories Trilogy", "Steam Boy", and "Fire Town", and finally promoted the side business to a main business, becoming a pioneer in the Japanese animation industry. Being able to draw manga and animate your own manga yourself should be the highest level of animation of the original manga! With my father in charge, the animated original will not collapse.
Yoko Anno: Beauty expert
In her third year of high school, Yumeko Anno, who debuted and successively launched works such as "The Queen of the Demon World Alternate", "Workaholic", "Supervision Can't Work", "Sakura Chaos" and other works, is not only a popular manga artist, but also a well-known beauty expert, and she is also the wife of Hideaki Anno.
In addition to manga, Mr. Anno also writes essays related to food and beauty, and has published works such as "Beauty Pictorial", "Gluttony", and "Say Goodbye to the Occasion of Writing a Diary". He also published an illustrated collection, acting as a designer of limited edition bottles in the Hidehide Uemura KAMON GIRLS series, and made a cameo appearance as a hotel lady in the movie "Love Gate". Can draw, can write, can design, can act, I just want to ask... Mr. Anno, what are you not good at?
Takashi Hashiguchi: Funny entertainer
Speaking of manga artists, Mr. Takashi Hashiguchi is the predecessor of Xu Feigang, who once organized a cross-talk group with his manga assistants called "よろしくたけしたかし", which developed in the direction of funny artists, and later returned to the manga industry because of disagreements with his partners. Fortunately, funny artists are only a side hustle, or it is really a big loss in the Japanese manga industry.
what? Haven't heard of the name? You must have heard works such as "Speed Shake Yoyo", "Japanese Bread King", "Supreme Doctor", "Doctor Max" and so on. These masterpieces are all written by Takashi Hashiguchi, and the sequel to "The Highest Doctor", "Doctor Who is The Highest Doctor", is still serialized in "Weekly Shonen Sunday", and it should be humanized in the future!
Mysterious side hustle series
Fumiya Sato: Director of the Happiness Realization Party Culture Bureau
Fumiya Sato, the main writer of the manga "Kaneda Kazuna Incident Book", is the "Director of the Happiness Realization Party Culture Bureau", and once called Itachi Aso Taro. Happiness Realization Party is a Japanese political party established on May 23, 2009, but it is said that the political party is more like an emerging X religion, although the content of the propaganda is beautiful, but in fact, the core is [beep -] stuff, you can simply and rudely understand as Japan's five mao, want to learn more about this political party everyone can go to the mother, and then I am afraid of being checked the water meter (chrysanthemum a tight).
Mr. Sato was hired back to create a lot of momentum, and he was not particularly enthusiastic about political activity teachers, except for the year he was elected director, and the political party could not even grab a seat in the year he was elected. Although this side business is mysterious, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is also based on the money...
Kubo: Poet
Among the three major migrant manga, One Piece, Naruto and Death BLEACH, the most poetic work recognized by readers is Kubo's "Death BLEACH". In Kubo-sensei's manga, he always reveals his profound writing skills, he will write a few philosophical poems on the first page of the one-line book, and leave a lot of blank space in the picture, which the teacher is used to call "Kubo Ryu".
Fans are rumoring that Kubo Sensei came to be a manga artist because he couldn't be a poet (laughs), so let's feel the poems of Kubo poets:
Left of The Grim Reaper BLEACH, Volume 43: Decay is My Friend / Night is My Servant / Let the Crow Peck At My Body / Waiting for You in the Elm Tree House
Right, BLEACH, Volume 9: Ah, we are / so open-eyed / Dreaming of flying in the sky
There are also good sentences such as "Just because we can't see, that's terrible", "People who say that people who love beauty are people who don't understand the truth of love; people who say that they love ugliness are people who think they know love", "If I don't have a sword in my hand, I can't protect you; if I keep holding a sword, I can't hold you tightly" and other good sentences, with this philosophical ♂ level, it seems that the poetry collection is not far away, the teacher can also provide illustrations for his own poetry collection, maybe he will buy Kubo-sensei's manga to send a poetry collection signature ticket (what ghost)?
Don't do the right thing
Tsuyoshi Aoyama & Minki Wakagi: Admiral
The influence of the new generation of cult page game "Fleet Collection" is obvious to everyone, and there are many people who have fallen into it among the manga artists, the more representative ones are "World Only God Knows" author Wakagi Minki and "Detective Conan" author Tsuyoshi Aoyama, and The Admiral (nickname for the players of "Fleet Collection") has become their well-known non-doing business.
The popular work "The World Only God Knows" that has been serialized for 6 years has come to an abrupt end, although the editor has announced that he wants to end the old manga and give the opportunity to newcomers. But the more convincing argument is that Wakagi Sensei is addicted to the ship lady and can't extricate herself and hastily finish the work, the evidence is that the ending of "Divine Knowledge" is not as bad as the waist. In February this year, I finally received the news that Wakagi's new work "Sleeping World" was serialized, but would Sensei Wakaki paint in three days and fish for five days? The answer seems to be yes.
"Detective Conan" is a series that fans say that they hope to see the ending in their lifetime, and Aoyama-sensei mentioned in an interview that he was playing the ship lady on his rest day, and everyone was cheering that Conan was finished. Sensei Wakaki also broke the news that when he went to the hospital to visit Mr. Aoyama, he found that he was very energetic to liver the ship lady, "Weekly Shonen SUNDAY" is simply a pill... (PS: Wakagi Minki and Tsuyoshi Aoyama are both serialized in the same magazine)
Nagano Go: Player
Nagano, one of the four suspension kings, has too many side hustles, design, rock, gamers, model enthusiasts, and his performance on these side hustles is also very good, so versatile that he wants people to raise a torch and burn to death. Mr. Nagano may not be familiar to young people, his work "Five Star Story" has been popular since it was serialized, and it has not faded for 30 years, but because Mr. Nagano has not stopped writing behind him, his work has fallen into a long-term state of rest. But despite this, his popularity has not been extinguished for decades, and it can be described as a god-like existence.
In fact, I am about to remove this person from the list of cartoonists, so why should I take it out and whip the corpse? That's because next February, "Five Star Story" will resume serialization_ (:з"∠)_
Yoshihiro Fuken: Play mahjong
In fact, compared with the other three suspended kings, the rich adultery is more conscientious, but the rich adultery is more well-known among contemporary young people, so the health greetings received are also more, and it is not difficult to ensure that the three suspension kings are the tomorrow of the rich adulterer.
This ghost cartoonist who can't be ignored does not draw comics to play mahjong instead, even if he has waist pain, he must continue to play! There was also a "Fujian Cup" mahjong conference, and the winners could also get his signatures, and they were about to take the side job as a regular job. Rumors also say that the rich and adulterous dragged the manuscript to force the editor to commit suicide, pretending to die to evade the draft, and all kinds of crimes are really deep sins and difficult to read... If you want to write carefully, I am afraid that you can independently write a long article.
I believe that the resentment of the rich adultery does not need to be said much, and the fans of the rich rape can appreciate how painful it will be to chase his comics, which cannot be described clearly in words. But Fu Fu as a husband is still very competent, in addition to playing mahjong is to play with his wife, no wonder that Miss Naoko Shirafumi Takeuchi chose him instead of the workaholic handsome Yuhiko Inoue. The following user is right:
Inoue-sensei, you really lost completely.
Why not talk about the other two disengaged kings? Because comics really aren't a job for them! The takaya Yoshiki family of "Strong Breeding Armor" is not an ordinary rich man, that is, the so-called rich and willful dead local tycoon, and manga is a small hobby for him, not even a side business. Another good friend of the Heavenly King, Big Red Lady, the father of Diablo, Hagiwara Ichiji, is a mysterious person who has seen the beginning and the end of the dragon, and it is estimated that he has even forgotten that he is drawing manga.
Cartoonist side hustle as a fan of course not qualified to interfere, as long as you can draw well and do not drag the draft for a long time, what is your side hustle Fan said it really doesn't matter ah...
