However, I was also given the opportunity to work on the launch of an original work. One of them was the work of Hikaru Nakamura, who later co-founded 'Arakawa Under the Bridge.'
At the time, Hikaru Nakamura was still a 15-year-old junior high school student. However, there was a ridiculous sense from the posted work. It felt like it would be published in Morning or Spirits rather than an Enix work, but I persuaded the new editor-in-chief, who I will introduce later, to allow me to plan for serialization. It is an assortment of short jokes called 'Nakamura Koubou'. It was a fun piece. If I were to talk about each work and each writer, the story wouldn't be complete, so I'll omit that part, but Hikaru Nakamura was a genius. I was lucky to be involved in the debut work of the genius.











3. [Reunion with Shinobu Otaka]
When I left Square Enix, I had made a certain promise with Square Enix. I have to hire writers for two years after I leave the company. Of course, it's a verbal agreement, but there is a sense of humanity. At that time, two years had passed since I left the company. I invited Shinobu Otaka to dinner. It looks like ``Sumomo'' is coming to an end soon. Finally, I suggested that he try making a classic shounen manga. I think he was quite confused. Young Gangan is already becoming a major magazine, so it's probably a good place to be. However, I persuaded him that if he wanted to write a series that would truly change the world, it would be better to do it in a major magazine. Since plums are a hit, he has plenty of money and can hire a talented assistant. I thought I'd take the chance and do a classic fantasy. Mr. Otaka finally agreed and the meeting began. Mr. Otaka suggested a work set around gladiators in ancient Rome.
The characters aren't bad. But dark. I suggested combining it with the project I already had. Around this time, I started writing my own scenarios. It was a rejected project for me, but the contents are as follows. When a university student studying archeology investigated Togo Village in Aomori Prefecture, he discovered Solomon's hidden cave, and when he touched a metal vessel buried there, he became like Aladdin and entered into a pact with the Holy Spirit. It's a stupid story. However, at that time, I was researching stories about King Solomon, Judaism, and the Arabian Nights, so I talked about this topic. Mr. Otaka responded to Arabian Nights. As I held many meetings with Mr. Otaka, the setting moved from Rome to the Middle East. The main characters have changed to a duo of Aladdin and Alibaba. The relationship between the two is Doraemon and Nobita. If you compare the color images, you will see that they are the same. Furthermore, they shared an image of their worldview based on Jewish mythology.
In addition to the two main characters, Mr. Otaka has drawn a series of attractive character charts in between Sumomo and Sumomo. And the name for the first episode of Magi was completed. And I submitted it along with the proposal. Mr. Hayashi highly praised it, and Magi's plan went through. Mr. Otaka was treated to a polite dinner on the same level as a popular Sunday author.




3. [Editor who writes the scenario]
First, Mr. Dai Katsuki. Originally, he was a talented editor who launched 'Gaku' in big comics. Came to Sunday at the same time I entered. The man finally started to move. His editing style was unique. Surprisingly, he wrote the scenarios for many of the works he was in charge of. Then, the scenario is handed over to a young editor to find an animator. Also, all the scenarios are interesting. His Sunday launches include Gamble and KING GOLF. I made a newcomer, who I was also in charge of, participate in the 'KING GOLF' competition. The result was a failure. But at that time, I stole how to write a manga scenario. By the way, at Comic Room Co., Ltd., which I run, almost all of the works are written by editors, including myself. This experience is the starting point.
