History
Early Days
Shun was born from into the artistic and upper-class Shiratori family. She has a big sister (older than her by several years) and grew up around dogs; she has a close relationship with his biggest dog, Peace. Both her father and grandfather are successful artists (the source of their great fortunes) and her controlling mother had long planned to have Shun be groomed to become the next successor of the Shiratori house. Although Shun had inherited the artistic talents of her family, she wasn't interested in working on great paintings nor any great works of art; she was primarily fascinated by manga art and did her best to pursue those interests despite her mother's controlling nature.
She graduated from High school a year ago (by Chapter 90). She applied to be Eiji Nizuma's Assistant, but the editors had already filled that position and so she was put in the position as Ashirogi Muto's assistant instead. He was rejected from art school and didn't think she'd make a good mangaka, but when she saw an advertisement to be an assistant she took the chance, desiring financial independance from her family's fortune.
Drawing PCP for Ashirogi Muto
Shiratori is introduced alongside Moriya as Mashiro's new assistants. Mashiro assess them alongside Orihara to do an undersketch of backgrounds to decide who will be drawing and the other two will be inking and finishing touches. Mashiro chooses Shiratori and he is glad that he will be drawing pictures. Shiratori later asks Moriya what he considers Manga. He replies that it is a self expresson of art. Confidently, Shiratori replies that stopping at self satisfaction is a pattern that won't sell and in Jump, sales are everything. Mashiro interrupts him and they ask for his opinion on the matter and he says that he is drawing to get serialized but if he has the talent to draw something that leaves a deep impression on people that is best. He explains that in the age of his parents, if you read manga you get stupid but has gradually become recognised as cultural. He tells them that its fine for people to draw depending on their individual talent and its different for different people. Shiratori apologizes for his cockiness.
Publishing Rabuta & Peace
Shiratori originally got the idea when he saw his own dog, Peace and drew a name for it. After he shows it to Takagi, Takagi likes the concept and revises it with him. They show it to Hattori and praises him for it and suggests submitting it for Treasure or Next. Shiratori feels guilty and credits Takagi for most of the story after the revisions and Hattori suggests that Takagi do the story and Shiratori do the art. Shiratori does a 45 page manuscript for treasure in 20 days that Aoki ko is judging. But instead of submitting it for Treasure, Hattori and Miura decide to run it in Jump with the opening pages in colour.
When Shiratori gets home, he greets Peace and tells him that a manga based on them will be running in Jump. His mother asks what "Jump" is and he explains that its a manga magazine. She insists that he should quit his job as a mangaka assistant and study art in Paris and that the arrangements are already made. This shocks and upsets Shiratori, he is left with the choice of working for his father's make up company or go to Paris. He contemplates running away from home.
When Rabuta & Peace ran as a one shot, it came in 5th place. Shiratori is delighted but Takagi is indecisive about writing another series. Mashiro encourages him but Shiratori says that he doesn't want to cause them problems and explains the situation with his parents. Mashiro says that he if he loves manga then do it, Takagi says he will write it but will drop it if PCP starts to slip because of it. Shiratori is happy and runs home.
When he gets home he tells his parents he is going to be a mangaka. His mother is furious at what he said so Shiratori says he will leave. Shiratori then leaves the house but while walking Peace jumps on him so Shiratori takes Peace with him. Shiratori then goes to the park and sleeps on a bench with Peace. After his parents agree to let him write manga, Mashiro tells Shiratori that they are now rivals. Takagi decided to go to Shiratori house for a few days. When Takagi gets back he tells them that Shiratori can now write Rabuta and Peace without his help. After that Shiratori quits being a assistant.
Cancellation & Unknown Fate
In the most recent serialization meeting, Rabuta & Peace got marked for cancellation. Shiratori is not depressed about this, however, and decides to come up with a manga that will make his family proud. Shun's fate remains unknown. By the final events of the Reversi arc, nothing was detailed about Shun; it's unclear did he ever successfully publish anything new and/or him returning to his family.
Notes & Trivia
- He bears a resemblance to Near from Death Note. Even sharing a desire to see things he believes in to the end.
