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

Chapter 229: Oda family crest, hang it up!

"Parasyte" is set on Earth in another world. Although it only won a few awards, the awards were of high quality and it has a very wide audience of anime fans.

The IP sold quite well afterwards, not only did the animation achieve great success, but the movie box office was also quite good. And 34 years later, a sequel TV series was released, and the ratings were not low.

What's more funny is that in some countries this comic was blacklisted and the comic book was completely removed from the shelves. As a result, the price of the Dongli edition of the complete set suddenly increased by three times, especially the color version, which was hard to find.

However, the live-action movie was introduced by different departments and the box office was good. It was praised by comic fans for a while. Once someone talked about it, everyone would laugh happily.

Therefore, Shingo Oda is full of confidence in "Parasyte".

Although most comic magazines did not announce this news, and even many stores did not display the promotional prints.

However, when comic fans are browsing in bookstores, they can easily recognize "Parasyte" among many comics.

The characters are so obvious!

Among a bunch of chubby and soft covers, Izumi Shinichi with his elongated arms catches the eye!

Well, he does have an eyeball in his hand!

"Parasyte has actually published a solo book?!"

"Why didn't anyone say anything!"

The silent ban of Oda Shingo by the three major comic houses caused many comic fans to be unaware of the arrival of the single-volume set.

But through word of mouth and comic fans posting photos on the Internet, more and more book fans began to join the purchasing ranks.

Soon, Shingo Oda posted a message on YouTube.

【Celebrating the release of the single volume of "Parasyte"! 】

This further ignited the market!

The fans suddenly realized: "What? I didn't know that!"

More people are flocking to physical bookstores.

Totally sold out!

There was constant phone calls between bookstores.

"Hello? Do you have any goods? Bring some over!"

"Don't even think about it! My place has already been booked."

Bookstores everywhere were in a state of emergency.

"Don't be ridiculous. The first print run of 20 copies was sold out in an instant?"

"Everything is sold out! They're blocking the door! They're making a scene!"

"Minister, it's not enough, not enough at all, absolutely not enough!"

Springfield Books usually only prints 10 copies of a single book.

We have long known that Oda Shingo's works are very popular, and have doubled the circulation. Why is it still not enough?
And it wasn’t just a matter of a week; it was out of stock in less than two days!

The offline sales of the "Parasyte" set exceeded 20 sets in just one and a half days!

On Yahoo! Second-hand online auction, the price of the Parasyte single volume set is three times the selling price!

"Requesting a copy of Parasyte!"

"Mina-san, who has the single volume set of Oda-sensei's Parasyte?!"

"I can't buy it! Not to mention the single volume, even the last few issues of Jump are out of stock!"

This "Parasyte" comic has begun to become popular in the physical market and on the Internet.

Many big Vs and anchors have noticed it.

However, many people understand the rules.

They must be silent! They can’t say a word! They are so miserable!
However, there are still some big Vs or anchors who are not in the system of the Big Three.

[Showing off the Parasyte single volume set! Buy it at three times the price!] A YouTuber posted a video.

Following the host's explanation, comic fans became excited.

[Wow! Great printing!]
[Not recycled paper! ]
[The paper weight is amazing! The printing is also good! Definitely worth collecting! ]
Now, not to mention the new copies of "Parasyte" in physical stores, even the second-hand copies on Yahoo are completely out of stock.

The comic unboxing video has been viewed over 100 million times!

This is definitely a very popular video in the physical comics category on YouTube in Japan.

"Are there any more comics by Oda Shingo?!"

“I want One Punch Man too!” “Fans who can’t buy Parasyte usually buy his related works instead!”

"What, you're still turning over money?! Don't you have money to earn? Even if you don't earn money, you have to let us earn money!"

This is the sentence most often shouted by the bookstore owner in the past few days.

The three major supply points, including Qunyingsha, have been severely criticized by their store owners.

Since it was a silent ban, the supply chain of the three major families naturally cut off the supply of Oda Shingo's physical books.

Bookstores other than the Big Three, such as Springfield Books, are extremely busy.

The operations of reprinting, distribution, and notification of arrival are constant, and some store owners have not even slept for a day or two.

This makes people jealous!
This is not the golden age of physical publications in the last century, and many bookstores are barely surviving.

As a result, the bookstore owners under the Big Three are not happy about this.

Physical bookstores are already having a hard time, and now there’s finally a hot-selling product, and you still can’t supply it? !

Although bookstores are directly managed in many places, the consequences of sales performance are borne by the store owners!
When asked ten times by comic fans, they can still bear it.

When comic fans ask the question a hundred times, they can no longer sit still.

When comic fans ask this a thousand times, even Buddha will get angry!

Some non-direct-operated store owners under Qun Ying She began to transfer goods without permission.

The transfer of goods is common in China, especially in different sales areas. It is difficult to do openly, but it is done secretly.

But it is relatively rare in Japan, but it does exist.

Especially for books and periodicals, unlike high-end luxury goods or sensitive items such as tobacco, some private shops do not have sufficiently detailed records of receipts and payments.

"It's the last days for physical publications now! Do you know how hard our lives are? We are overjoyed when people buy our books, so how can we care where to get the goods?" A shop owner protested to the delivery staff of Qun Ying Publishing House.

It’s a silent ban so there won’t be any arguments about it.

So, I can only pretend I didn’t see it.

"But the words 'Oda Shingo' are not allowed to appear!" someone reminded secretly, which contained a warning.

Well, we won’t hang the words “Oda Shingo” on the storefront. The author’s name is also on the books and periodicals, so it’s not easy to put it outside to attract customers.

Well, let's put up something that others can understand at a glance! The shop owners are not stupid.

Hanging signs has always been a tradition in Japanese shops, and a Parasyte doll was hung out.

Business immediately came in!
But it was tragic that the doll was stolen in less than an hour...

“Fuck you! He even stole a doll! By the way, it seems to be sold at a very expensive price.” The shop owner was worried.

Hey, Oda Nobunaga... let's hang Oda Nobunaga's characteristic items! The smart shop owner slapped his forehead.

So, the banner with the papaya family crest of the Oda family during the Warring States Period was hung up!

The effect is quite good, and comic fans will understand it at a glance!
However, when the bookstore supplier of the three great families saw the family crest of the Sixth Heavenly Demon King while inspecting the situation, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood...

They were bleeding profusely, but Oda Nobuo was as steady as an old dog and began to deploy a counterattack step by step.

A two-story studio.

"Toudou-kun." Oda Shingo looked at online public opinion and physical store data statistics and made a new decision on action.

"Oda-kun, what's wrong?" Fujido Kaoru now changed the way she addressed him to address him, and it became the more intimate Oda-kun.

But it was only between Namikaze Yukaku's Shingo and Mikami Yuko's Oda-sensei...

There is a very good understanding and a feeling of first come first served.

Only Mrs. Yukino addressed Oda Nobuo in a different way depending on the situation, or even her mood at the moment.

Oda Shingo called Fujido Kaoru: "After this issue is released, I will appoint you as the Grand Admiral of the Navy!"

The three great families headed by Qun Ying She dare to silently ban me?
ridiculous!

The time is ripe to fight back!
"Admiral of the Navy? Why?" Fujido Kaoru repeated the word awkwardly.

Although the Japanese are familiar with the Three Kingdoms, they are not used to the name.

"Aren't you good with water?"

"Ah?" Fujido Kaoru was stunned, tilted her head and thought for a while, no one knew what she was thinking about, she said to Oda Shingo with a click of the tongue, and said in a low voice: "hentai!"

Looking at Oda Nobuo's eyebrows, his eyes were watery.
