CATDOLL: Akira Toriyama highly recommends! "My 9 Teachers and I Can't Go to School" is released

The Japanese online comic website webaction serialized "School I Can't Go to School and My Nine Teachers" (Me and My Nine Teachers) will be released on February 27. It describes the author Shoichi Tanazono's personal experience. Because he was slapped by his teacher for no reason when he was a child, he missed school for a long time. However, through the process of drawing comics, the author Tanazono's world gradually changed. The ninth teacher who influenced Tanazono a lot was Akira Toriyama, the author of Dragon Ball.

The author, Masakazu Tenzono, has loved drawing since he was a child, and he often practiced drawing Dragon Ball pictures. When he was in the first grade of elementary school, he wanted to ask his class teacher about something he didn't understand, but the class teacher slapped him unexpectedly. This incident left a big shadow in his young mind.

"I Can't Go to School and My 9 Teachers" has a total of 10 chapters, and the main content is about the 9 teachers who have influenced the author, including the teacher who beat him in the first chapter.

The shadowy uncle in the story represents the author's negative feelings of anxiety and loneliness at the time. Even if he stayed at home, he still felt a great burden in his heart. The fear of becoming different from others was like a curse that bound the author tightly.

The final chapter describes the meeting between Tanen Shoichi and Toriyama Akira:

After the online serialization ended, Tanazono Shoichi once said to Toriyama Akira: "I will try my best." Toriyama Akira replied: "You have already tried very hard." Just an inadvertent sentence greatly encouraged Tanazono Shoichi.

Recommended by Akira Toriyama

Akira Toriyama said that although he had known Tanazono for a long time, he had never asked him about his experience. After reading "My 9 Teachers and I Can't Go to School", he realized that drawing comics brought Tanazono more redemption than Akira Toriyama imagined.

Seeing comics bring hope to a young boy makes people feel that comics are not only entertainment, but also can play a positive role!
