Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?.

Chapter 108

A new week has begun, and Shingo Oda has accelerated the drawing speed of "One Punch Man".

On the one hand, his cooperation with Namikaze Yukaku has become more tacit, and on the other hand, Fujido Kaoru's proficiency in auxiliary work such as drawing backgrounds and dialog boxes has improved.

In addition, with the help of the system's acceleration effect and Oda Shingo's original storyboard foundation, the painting progress of "One Punch Man" is getting faster and faster.

"Okay! I can consider making up for the lessons!" After estimating the progress, Oda Shingo began to contact the school instructor, hoping to find an opportunity to go back to study.

He visited his original school very seriously and received a positive response.

The instructor was just as he had known him before, and he patted his chest and guaranteed that he would help him with the formalities: "Very good, Oda Shingo, you are back after all! I am very pleased that you can realize the importance of learning!"

Of course, Oda Shingo did not come empty-handed, he came with full sincerity.

"Thank you very much, please!" Oda Shingo bowed.

"But you definitely can't continue studying in your original class. I'll try to arrange for you to join a new class."

"Yes, mentor, I don't actually care about credits and diplomas. What's important is to learn something. It was only during my actual comics work that I realized that there are many areas where my drawing skills need to be improved." Oda Shingo explained seriously.

"Oh? Yes, your One Punch Man seems to be doing very well. It can definitely support you, right?"

"Yes. Next I want to focus on learning a more hard-line painting style."

"Well, let me ask if there is any teacher who is particularly good at this style of painting."

Oda Shingo quickly thanked him: "Thank you. If you need any money, just let me know."

After leaving his mentor's house, Oda Shingo received a line message from Mrs. Yukino: [For the movie theater accident, we both need to pay 600 million yen each for mental damages. The compensation for physical injuries and medical expenses are all yours, and the preliminary calculation is about 350 million yen. My lawyer will contact you.]
Oda Nobuo was amazed.

Such a high cost.

Oda Shingo quickly thanked Mrs. Yukino.

Soon a call came from a law firm.

It was the lawyer appointed by Mrs. Yukino Fuyuki: "Mr. Oda, the compensation agreement for the accident at the Shinjuku movie theater has been preliminarily negotiated. Mrs. Yukino asked us to contact you to find a time to discuss it."

"If Mrs. Yukino agrees, I basically agree. Please send it to my mailbox first." Oda Shingo told the email address.

After reading the agreement, Oda Shingo felt good about it and made an appointment to sign it.

Judging from the judicial practice in Japan in recent years, the amount of mental damages that non-celebrities can receive has continued to decline. The mental damages of 600 million yen were indeed due to the danger to life, and it was only because of the help of Mrs. Yukino and the mediation of the lawyer that such a large amount of money was obtained.

Moreover, Oda Shingo was feeling uneasy, thinking that the accident was related to the system's manipulation.

As a result, Oda Shingo obtained nearly 10 million yuan in funds under the agreement.

Oda Shingo feels like he's trying to scam Kadokawa Cinema Shinjuku...

System, why don’t we just stop drawing comics and just make compensation! Oda Shingo muttered to himself.

However, in my mind, the system still did not respond, as if it was asleep.

Shrugging his shoulders, Oda Shingo decided to ignore it. These explosive money cannot be touched, otherwise people will easily slack off. Oda Shingo will just ignore it for the time being and decide to concentrate on drawing comics.

When he returned to his apartment at noon, Oda Shingo received a Line message from Mikami Saburo: [At the regular meeting this morning, the proposal to publish the single volume of One Punch Man was rejected by the main publication department!]
Oda Shingo laughed instead: "Okay, Minister Hyakki, you really want to suppress me? Just wait and see. When my painting skills improve, you won't just be facing "One Punch Man"! " Oda Shingo is not going to let Minister Hyakki go, and plans to crush him in many aspects.

[Then I will go through my own channels.] Oda Shingo replied to Minister Mikami.

Mikami Saburo replied quickly on Line: [I support you! But don’t forget to give me a copy of the agreement. I need to say hello to the old president.]
[No problem!] Oda Shingo gave an affirmative answer, and at the same time thought to himself that it was smart of Mikami Saburo to become the minister.

Although the old president is in a weak position, the web department’s leading comics company must of course be informed when it signs a single-volume edition agreement with other publishers.

It is not uncommon for a comic book to be published by a different publisher, and there have even been cases where a comic book has been split up and distributed to different publishers multiple times. For example, the copyright of various versions of "Saint Seiya" belongs to "Jump", but the individual volumes are published by Akita Shoten.

Then, we can start the substantive stage of the book agreement!

Nobuo Oda had another video call with Mrs. Yukino to discuss the details of the volume.

The agreement for a single volume takes precedence over the surrounding ones.

Because "One Punch Man" is only beginning to gain fame, it needs to expand its influence through physical publications and other aspects.

Springfield Books has its own expertise in selling single volumes and has fixed resources with first-line suppliers, even surpassing the distribution channels of Qun-Eisha. This is why Shingo Oda is most willing to communicate with Mrs. Yukino to sign the contract.

"Hey, why are you so easy to talk to today?" Mrs. Yukino sounded slightly surprised in the video.

In the video, Mrs. Yukino is sitting in the garden sipping tea, and she is as dazzling as a star on the screen.

"Come on, a certain lady made me earn nearly 10 million yuan, and she didn't even give me a discount for the medical expenses I paid in advance, and I still won't make concessions?" Oda Shingo laughed, "Do you think I really have no conscience?"

"I thought there really wasn't one." Mrs. Yukino smiled.

The agreement was quickly negotiated, with Oda Shingo taking 25% of the commission and Qunyingsha's web department taking 5%.

In fact, according to the standard practice of newcomers, the original publisher, the web department of Qun-eisha, usually holds 25% and the author holds about 10%. But because it is the full copyright of Oda Shingo, the situation has completely reversed.

In the agreement, the web department of Qun Ying She is just a pure beneficiary and has no power at all.

In fact, the 5% commission given by Qun Ying She is already a waste of money. If it were another author, they might not even pay attention to it.

[I have reached an agreement with Springfield Books.] Next, Oda Shingo sent a draft of the agreement on the single volume to Mikami Saburo.

Soon, I received a reply from Director Mikami on line: [The old president nodded! ! ! ]
From the three exclamation marks, Oda Nobuo could infer that Mikami Saburo had explained the whole story, and the old president was also delighted with the results of the web department's first web comics.

For the Qunyingsha web department, even a mosquito leg is meat! They have never even dreamed that web comics can be published as a single volume!
[By the way, have you guys in the web department followed my instructions?] Oda Shingo thought of the fun arrangement.

Without saying a word, Saburo Mikami sent a few photos.

The photo shows the corridor on the third floor of the Qun Ying Society.

The web department has moved a lot of office furniture, materials, equipment, etc. to the corridor on the third floor!
The entire web department emptied the basement and moved all their belongings to the third floor, blocking the corridor!

Even the employees of the web department were drinking beer in the corridor.

It looks like we can only start working after the magazine office moves out!
