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

Chapter 227: Chinese are good at naval warfare

Shingo Oda's new manga has almost disappeared among the numerous paper media.

Only comic magazines from the Springfield Books lineage have authors or editors who approve of new comics.

Most comic fans don’t take it seriously, only a few are a little impatient.

“@Ghibli, blogger, why don’t you comment on “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure”?”

“@Fujisanxiadon, is there any appreciation for Oda Shingo’s new manga that hasn’t been released yet?”

Many people didn't notice anything unusual.

At most, I feel that there was a lot of discussion and opinions about Oda Shingo's new manga before, but why did it suddenly become so quiet?

However, a sentence suddenly popped up on Oda Shingo's personal YouTube account.

[Silent ban? Senior executive, you are trying to play this on me? Ugh! ]

The person who made the announcement was Oda Shingo himself.

This sentence has no beginning or end, but it seems to say a lot.

After seeing this, comic fans began to get excited.

Now the number of followers of Shingo Oda's personal YouTube column has reached 56, and the fan activity is extremely high.

With the full development of multimedia, the era of many competitors in the Japanese Internet market has gradually passed. YouTube has developed rapidly in the past two years and has gradually surpassed the popularity of the original leader LINE.

Especially YouTubers are mainly young people, and almost all of them are people who love fun by nature.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that these comic fans are timid in real life and may not even be able to speak fully when they meet a girl, but once there is something fun on the Internet, they will definitely rush to the scene immediately, carrying a stool and holding a keyboard.

[Wow! The cannon is fired! The previous one was the unlucky Hayato Hyakki, who was devastated after being blasted by Mr. Oda. Who is unlucky this time?]
[Silent ban! I know that Kawakami Jichan, who drew football comics, was banned!]
[Oh, I know what you mean. After the falling out with Qunyingsha, you didn’t publish any works for two years until you switched to Lecture Club, and then you were able to continue serializing your works.]
[Yes, yes, yes, this is the silent ban. The method of making you disappear completely from the comics world!]
[Kawakami Kazuo was a famous cartoonist who drew "The King of the Gate". How could he be banned without any notice?]
[You don’t understand the above, it just disappeared without a sound! Two years, absolutely no sound! And he is not the only one, there are many more!]
[Wow! If you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known! After Kawakami Shichan switched to the Speech Club, he published a comic that was barely okay, but I have no memory of it after that.]
[Cartoonists usually have a lifelong career, and many of them continue to draw until they are old! But in the past ten years, he has completely lost his voice in his middle age!]
[Is this a silent ban? It sounds really powerful.]
Comic fans gradually figured out the situation, but they didn't have time to react too much for a while.

The Heroes Society.

In the conference room on the top floor.

It is still a small group meeting of the Qun Ying Society.

"Mr. President, Oda Shingo has started cursing on his personal account." The new director of the operations department reported the situation carefully.

President Noritaka Koyama sat proudly on a leather chair: "Let him scold! How much trouble can a personal account cause? As long as his voice is not heard in most of the comics market that we control, he will be forgotten sooner or later!"

"Hey! Your Excellency the President is right!"

President Koyama was still feeling proud: "A little Oda Shingo, even Kawakami Jichan couldn't handle it back then, right? Without us, he could only turn to the Speech Club in disgrace. His subsequent work "Zero Second Kick" showed his fatigue! After he drew another samurai manga, he has completely lost his way in the manga industry!"

Although this happened in the last century, it has always been talked about by the top management of Shueisha.

Even President Oyama, who has worked his way up from editor to editor-in-chief, and even to department director and vice president, has used this example to enlighten or even warn countless cartoonists.

Just by giving this example, many tough cartoonists would have to bow their heads.

The other two speech societies and the Student Hall have also used such examples many times to educate disobedient cartoonists.

This is also the reason why the three major families would unite and tacitly ban the enemy as if it were an unspoken rule.

Everyone can work together to exploit the cartoonists under them. It feels great to rub the workers to the ground and then give away a few pieces of the money earned as alms!

Other middle-level managers present at the meeting all agreed with President Oyama.

"The essence of comic fans is consumers, and they are all very sensitive to popularity! As long as the popularity drops, he won't be able to stir up any waves!"

"That's it!"

"Although Springfield Books has many direct-sale stores, its publication market share is only 15%! Oda Shingo, how can you fight us?!"

"He is the one who cannot defeat our Lord Xiaoshan!"

"That's it!"

The market share of the three major print media companies is 72%, while Springfield Bookstore has less than a quarter of that. President Koyama is becoming more and more proud: "It is an honor for Oda Shingo to force me to use this trick!"

"That's it!"

The subordinates kept complimenting him.

It was just that Xiaoshan's newly promoted web department director was quietly wiping his sweat...

Later, another meeting of middle and senior management was held, and the operations department produced the latest market statistics.

President Oyama narrowed his eyes slightly.

The sales of Qun-Eisha's "Jump" magazine saw its first significant decline in three months. Although the decline was only 3.7%, it still showed the influence of Oda Shingo.

Fortunately, President Koyama invited the great cartoonist Tatsuya Matsuki, otherwise the report would be even uglier!
"This is within expectations." President Koyama knew in his heart that this was the inevitable loss and he had already estimated it.

However, another form immediately made his eyes widen.

The activity of the Qunyingshe website has dropped precipitously, and the activity level is only 48% of what it was a week ago!

Of course, compared to two weeks ago, the activity level was 69%.

Because Oda Shingo's "One Punch Man" was removed from the shelves, the website traffic briefly spurted. Of course, it was also because the activity of Qunyingsha being criticized increased...

However, this means that the website may have lost about half of its readers!
Looking at the visits and subscriptions to the Qun Ying She website, they have both fallen miserably!
President Oyama took two deep breaths.

Without saying anything, he put the data report of the web site aside.

The head of the web department felt relieved for the time being.

There was no way, he had no choice. Everyone knew what was going on, but there was no other way!

The web department doesn’t have Tatsuya Matsuki to support it anymore!
On the other side, Oda Shingo Studio.

"I came here this time to thank you, Shingo, for supporting me."

Saburo Mikami came here with a fruit gift box to express his gratitude.

“How are the sales this issue?”

Saburo Mikami was beaming with joy: "According to the data from the past three days, the sales of Champion at Springfield Books has increased by 23%! This is the largest growth in the past ten years!"

As the new director of this magazine, he has more confidence within Springfield Books.

Even walking around the company, I could sense that the attitudes of the various departments towards me had changed slightly. This was naturally the result of actual results.

"This is the accumulated enthusiasm of readers from the two comics. It may not be so high next time." Oda Shingo reminded, "But there will be very obvious results in one or two months."

San Shang Saburo smiled and said, "You are as modest as the Chinese. 23% is already a terrifying figure."

From time to time, he glanced at his sister not far away.

Unfortunately, Yuko Mikami only greeted him when he entered the room, and then she kept working at her desk without even glancing over...

Oda Shingo suddenly asked: "By the way, how many online voice resources do you have? I want to use them."

"Ok?"

"Comic fans sometimes need some teasing. Wait a few days and wait for the right moment. When the next or the next issue of 'Champion' is released, you can add some excitement to make things develop faster." Oda Shingo curled his lips and smiled.

Although the Chinese are humble, the 50-cent army is still very powerful!

There was a guy in the group who kept complaining about being censored. When I heard that, I thought, this kind of good book must be shared with everyone, right? Well, here it is, take it yourself.
