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

Chapter 214 I want to encourage Mr. Oda!

Yuko Mikami returned to her room and lay on the bed depressed.

Then she rolled over a few times.

Her slender figure ensured that she did not slip off the big bed even after rolling over a few times.

Yuko Mikami's eyes fell on the many comic posters on the wall.

Half a year ago, there were still many comics and various posters posted.

Now, there are only two categories: "One Punch Man" and "Parasyte", among which the two most popular female characters are Tornado and Kana.

"Oh, when will I be able to draw comics like Mr. Oda?" Yuko Mikami sighed, got up and walked to the desk to open her laptop.

A new message popped up when she checked her emails. Her eyes lit up, but dimmed again after she saw the content of the email.

【Thank you very much for your support of the comics industry. I am very sorry that your comics cannot be used at the moment. I hope you can take a look at the rankings and other popular comics recommended by Sanhe. 】

This is the rejection reply letter from the comics editor.

"I have read it. It's such a popular comic by Oda Shingo, I have read it dozens of times." Yuko Mikami complained.

In addition to the template rejection, the manuscript also includes a section with the editor’s own targeted opinions.

[Your comics are very distinctive, but this distinctiveness should not only be reflected in the poses of the characters. Many characters have very awkward poses when they speak. Can you imagine, if they have this pose in real life, who can still speak properly? ]

This is the editor's comment on her comic characteristics.

Most Japanese manga editors are very responsible and their suggestions on cartoonists' manuscripts are very targeted.

I write several lines or hundreds of words at a time, and it feels like I'm writing a short essay.

Perhaps this is due to the hard work of drawing comics, and perhaps this is the key to the discovery of Japanese cartoonists.

Some editors will even handwrite and scan feedback to the other party to show their appreciation and encouragement to the cartoonist. This is usually a positive attitude towards the other party.

It’s a pity that the editor’s reply that Yuko Mikami received was typed on a computer.

"Why do comic characters have to speak like normal people? When the plot develops to a certain special moment, they strike special poses, isn't that the coolest?!" Yuko Mikami was stubborn and refused to change.

For many years, she has been submitting her works, trying to get them serialized in comic magazines.

Unfortunately, due to various reasons, of course the most important one is that the characters she draws often strike seemingly awkward poses, commonly known as "concave posing", so she does not please the editors very much.

Since she refused to use her brother's connections, she failed every time she put forward her proposal and had no chance of serialization at all.

She has loved drawing comics since she was a child, and her best result was the bronze medal in the Tokyo Metropolitan High School Comics Competition in 2020-2021...

Now we can only serialize it for free on some comic web sites as a consolation.

only……

Yuko Mikami used a keyboard shortcut to open the backstage of her comic series, and saw only two messages from last night.

[This is so weird, is it because they didn’t draw it carefully? Why is the character twisting his body when talking? I can’t bear to watch it.]
[Is the author a spinal cord patient? Give up. Give up.]
"I drew this very seriously. Don't you think it's cool to have a character that speaks like this?" Yuko Mikami quickly left messages separately, trying to win back her fans.

After she typed out the words with great skill, she sighed.

"I won't be coming back."

“No one can understand the concept of my painting.”

“No one will understand me…”

"Won't……"

Yuko Mikami staggered back to the bed, then fell headfirst onto the bed, feeling exhausted.

The next day.

"Still no news about Mr. Oda?" Yuko Mikami looked at the Qun-Eisai website with great resentment.

The copy of "One Punch Man" on the comic bookshelf is still grey, and when you click on it with the mouse, it only says "Agreement is under dispute".

Now even my brother is no longer in Qun Ying Society, so it’s impossible to get inside information.

"I haven't seen any new comics from Mr. Oda for more than half a month. I can't live anymore." Yuko Mikami expressed her opinion in her YouTube column.

Eh?! A thought suddenly popped up in my mind.

Could it be that Mr. Oda felt that the comics industry was too dark? Was he feeling very distressed that the comics he had worked so hard to draw were banned?
Is that why you have been silent for more than half a month and don’t even want to say a word in defense?
It’s like… I draw characters and feel like no one understands me?
Yuko Mikami waved her fist violently: "Teacher Oda, don't be afraid, I'm here!" She immediately began to call for action in YouTube circles and Line groups such as the Oda Shingo comic discussion forum, Tornado support group, etc.

【Collect handwritten letters expressing your feelings and encouragement to Mr. Oda! 】

Yuko Mikami is already a popular cosplayer, especially her appearance as Tornado in "One Punch Man" looks like she came out of a comic book - of course this also shows her body shape - so after her call, she quickly became popular.

It is true that too many fans want to watch Shingo Oda's "One Punch Man".

Parasyte has concluded satisfyingly, but One Punch Man hasn’t yet!
The sisters Fubuki and Tornado had just met Saitama when they were banned by Qun Ying Sha. How could this be possible?!

As a result, in just three days, Yuko Mikami collected more than 8,000 handwritten scrolls.

Yuko Mikami was surprised. She had originally wanted to make a physical print, but it seemed that she could only make an electronic version.

She unified the format of 8,000 photos, and even studied how to compress them, and then burned them into a CD.

The girl was not good at computer technology, so she spent a whole day on this.

Good! I will personally give these encouraging handwritten letters from comic fans to Mr. Oda Shingo!

Yuko Mikami went to find her brother.

"By the way, he went on vacation!" Yuko Mikami suddenly slapped her forehead.

Taking out her phone, she dialed Saburo Mikami's number.

"Onii-chan——"

[Yuko, just give up on this idea. You and Oda Shingo are really not suitable.] As soon as Sankami Saburo heard his sister's sweet voice on the phone, he knew what she was going to ask for, and immediately spoke in a earnest tone.

"..."

[If you don’t believe me, watch the live broadcast of the award ceremony. The two girls next to him were of that level, one was pretty and the other was big. How could it be possible…]
"Onii-chan, damn it!" Yuko Mikami hung up the phone angrily.

Humph, I won't ask him anymore! She pouted and walked a few steps, then suddenly thought of something and immediately ran to the study.

There was an old computer there that she had seen her brother use.

"I'm sorry, I just want to check Mr. Oda's contact information." Yuko Mikami pressed the computer start button.

Power-on password?
Yuko Mikami tried her brother's birthday, but it was wrong.

I tried my mother’s birthday, my father’s birthday, my brother’s ex-girlfriend’s and current girlfriend’s birthdays… none of them were right!

Enter August 8th...

"Oh? That's right!" Yuko Mikami snorted. I didn't expect that Onii-chan would use my birthday as the password. What a perverted brother.

She didn't look at other information on the computer and directly entered Oda Shingo to search. Soon she saw the contact address in the contact card of Outlook.

Oda's studio on the second floor.

Oda Nobuo was drawing on the manuscript at his desk.

He frowned.

My own writing style always doesn't quite match the style of the new comics I plan to serialize.

Even though both are realistic in style, the muscularity of Parasyte is completely different. The character modeling style of the new comics is really special!

The brushwork of Namikaze Yukaku and Fujido Kaju is even more different from this.

Should I go to school again to further my studies? Oda Shingo hesitated.

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Since it is not the update period, the nannies brought by Mrs. Yukino have all gone back.

Fujido Kaoru got up and went to the door. She looked at the person coming through the video doorbell and was stunned: "Hey? Is it a child who is lost and looking for help?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Oda Shingo's mind.

That was the long-lost system sound.

The so-called [Anime Devil] system no longer lies down and pretends to be dead.

【New teammates can be found! 】
