There are twin brothers and sisters. The reason why I became a cartoonist is to make my sister who has always liked comics happy, so that she can read comics every day. In Gui Xing Ye, "Xing Ye" is a pseudonym, and "Gui" is taken from its real name.

Who was the best in the high jump in 2005? Although One Piece is golden, Naruto II is still strong, Death Note is filled with smoke, and Bleach hides a long red image. However, to say "Red Fast", it is still D.Gray-man of Hoshino Keisuke.

D. Gray-Mann's plot is not a standard pointer:

I hesitated for a long time, trying to sum up the story as "the process of an exorcist defeating the monster" or "recalling the past, my exorcism career" or "earthworm spots after transverse injury! This year, the trend of tattooing faces has resurfaced, and it is still "disabled, short people shine!" "... if I continue to write, readers will crucify me. ...

Well, in fact, the normal interpretation is that the famous Noah flood recorded in the Bible is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster. The just police defeated the foreign workers and destroyed the world at the same time. The flood prisoner is still alive. In order to prevent him from committing crimes again after he was released from prison, the head of the judicial police [the first generation] passed on some materials left over from ancient civilization to the world. Let the police chief [N generation] engage in the illegal activities of "you are the unlucky person today" and create a lot of [unpaid] film policemen, collectively known as "exorcists". Of course, comrades in prison can't be weak, and they also gathered a bunch of criminals and named them AKUMA (the devil). In order to show the importance of this war, the police chief repeatedly explained the importance of "losing the world is over" In this way, the battle between the two sides once again [alas, why say "once again"] rose to the battle of world destiny. And our protagonist, Shorty A (A(A=Allen), is a member of the movie Police. ...

On the whole, the plot of this work is quite generous, but there is really nothing new. But then again, considering that OP can be described as "the story of a group of pirates" or Huo Ying can be simplified as "the story of a group of ninjas", there is no need to express too much dissatisfaction with it. The point is that this story combines all the popular factors at present, and it is difficult to think about it.

As a newcomer, Keisuke Hoshino's recent momentum is remarkable. Surprisingly, she was born in 1980, that is, she just turned 25 now. In fact, we have seen many authors who took on important tasks when they were young. Togashi Yoshihiro and Nobuhiro Watsuki were only twenty-four years old when they started serializing famous works, but in terms of age, Taro Katsura Hoshino is closer to us [six years younger than Kishimoto Masashi who also grew up watching Dragon Ball]. The self-proclaimed comic experience began at one year and five months [I wonder what that "comic experience" means, and whether it refers to the age when graffiti began. After discussing with my friends, I came up with a KUSO conjecture that "my mother left it in the comic book store" ...]

In 2003, Keisuke Hoshino's debut novel "Continue" was published in the 34th issue of Youth Leap in August. When it came out, it was a stunning four-seat work. At that time, an editor said that Keisuke Hoshino would definitely step into the ranks of popular authors of JUMP in the future. Now it seems that this man is prescient. "Continue" has the shadow of the predecessor of "D.Gray-man", and now it seems to be a long serial work, in which the key elements of "Earl of the Millennium" appear. [So I spent a year preparing to launch a long serial ... Alas, what a pity. ] At the end of the same year, Akamaru JUMP, the brother magazine of Junior JUMP, appeared Hoshino's ZONE, which can be said to be "the second-line author preparation field for JUMP". It can already be seen that the editorial department is really looking forward to Hoshino Keisuke. Then in 2004, D.Gray-man officially appeared in 27 Teenagers JUMP. In the 40th issue shortly after its publication, King Tong Ling ended tragically ... Although the key to the ending lies in the author's poor handwriting, "making way for new people" also accounts for some reasons.

D.Gray-man can be said to combine the key elements of today's Must Be Popular. First of all, Hoshino Keisuke's painting style is exquisite, and he has the shadow of Kaoru Yuji and Takeshi Obata. Even if you put it in a girl's comic magazine, it won't look out of place. [When The Area was first published, some readers suspected that Katsura Hoshino was Takeshi Obata's pen name ... I don't know whether she was happy or depressed about it] Secondly, the plot was bold, with a big shelf at the beginning, at least achieving the effect of "coming back from the dead" first, and it wouldn't be unreasonable to fill in any content. [Remember to start the composition with "Our Universe" in the future ... just kidding] Third, the style of the whole17th century is very mechanical, and now many readers like it [some people say it is the follow-up work of the steel alchemist, and even the protagonist is called "bean sprout". I think Ed's name is "Bean" ... it's really short. Then "The Savior" and the fighting drama completely conform to the mainstream setting of JUMP magazine. Finally, the frequent appearance of crosses and costumes is very in line with the popular "Gothic style" [many readers who play COS have been eyeing this work]. It is unreasonable that this kind of work, which is pleasing to both male and female readers, is unpopular. In the ranking published in April this year, Keisuke Hoshino beat Hideaki Sorachi to win the title of "Newcomer King" in 2004, which was well deserved.

It can be seen that the editorial department attaches great importance to Hoshino Keisuke and this work, and the campaign is also extremely frequent. In the case of few singles, the novel version was launched with great fanfare. At that time, it was wise to introduce him when several novels were either finished or tired. At present, the only thing to worry about is that it is not too difficult for a work to be "red" and it is not easy to be "classic". Whether it can become a masterpiece or a masterpiece depends on the long-term control ability of Hoshino Keisuke.
