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

Chapter 278: Goblin Slayer, it would be a big hit

Editorial Department of Qunying Society.

An editor from the main publication department reported the situation: "Editor-in-chief, you noticed that Mr. Arakawa's comics are not very popular on the website...?"

The editor-in-chief took a look and took a deep drag on the cigarette between his fingertips: "Maybe there aren't many controversial points in the plot?"

I have communicated with him, but he won't listen to anything. The editor-in-chief felt resentful but couldn't say it out loud.

As the editor-in-chief of the main publication department of Qunyingsha, his review level is naturally good. I have long seen that the plot of Nobuhiro Arakawa's "I am the Chief of the Goblin Tribe" is too bland and has the flavor of a comic from more than a decade ago.

In other words, this comic is a bit old-fashioned.

But what can he do as the editor-in-chief? Nobuhiro Arakawa is a great man invited by the president, but he doesn't listen to his subtle suggestions!
"..." The editor here has already heard the meaning behind the editor's words, and no longer dwells on it. He immediately talks about something else he has noticed, "Editor-in-chief, the new book "Goblin Slayer" by Mitsuko Akechi is very popular!"

He handed over the data report.

Each of the twenty or so comics has a popularity bar, and Mitsuko Akechi's is the longest and thickest.

The popularity of the second and third ranked movies combined is not as high as this one.

"This is only the first issue of Goblin Slayer!" the editor-in-chief exclaimed.

He turned on his computer and started looking at the electronic version of the paid serial on the website.

Because the electronic version can have on-screen comments, he can see the fans' reactions to certain pages most directly.

At the beginning of the comic, a priestess is trembling and crying.

[A typical hero saving a beautiful girl.]
[Nice art.]
[I also want to be a hero and save the beauty.]
There weren’t many comments at this time.

Next, an inexperienced young adventure team, led by a young male swordsman captain, along with a female mage, a female martial artist, and a female priest, entered the Goblin Cave.

The market has proven that this comic can arouse the response of comic fans. How did it do this? This time, the editor-in-chief is observing more carefully.

Soon, the editor-in-chief found out.

Every time a female character appears, there is a special scene that highlights her physical features.

Then, such a beautiful body was hurt and bullied by the goblins.

A very direct picture, without any disguise.

[Isn’t this too cruel? This is the first time I’ve seen a pretty girl being killed in a plot, and it was a brutal killing!]
[You can’t say it’s served hot, it’s almost like eating sashimi! ]
[What a pity! Why give the gift to the goblins? It seems that none of those girls have boyfriends.]
[I was so happy watching this! Damn it! They were so confident! I knew something was going to happen!]
[This is the cruel reality, so real! This reminds me of another work, the world is so gentle, so fake!]
Seeing this message, the editor was stunned.

He quickly turned the page back and jumped directly to Nobuhiro Arakawa's "I am the Commander of the Goblin Tribe".

While farming with the goblins, the protagonist encountered some barbarians who were sometimes unruly, but generally they were like good children...

In particular, the protagonist treats people with a gentle attitude, acts uprightly, and is full of love for everyone. Even if the other party is a vicious beast, he will use love to influence them...

Fans commented: [It's a beautiful world][These goblins are so cute][Like a spring breeze that heals people]...

But there are also many comments saying: [It feels a bit fake]...

Let’s go back to Goblin Slayer. The protagonist mercilessly sends the helpless beauty to her death. In order to kill the goblins, he does not hesitate to use all kinds of obscene but practical tactics. In order to cover up the smell, he is not afraid to smear the disgusting goblin flesh on his body...

He even searched the secret places in the caves and killed the child goblins without mercy!
As he swung his giant club at the goblin who was no taller than his waist, the protagonist said calmly:
"Only those who don't appear in front of humans are good goblins."

At that moment, he had no expression, only a gloomy face; no mercy, only the desire to exterminate the race; no eyes, only murderous pupils like torches!
As a result, this page of comics has sparked a huge discussion!
In just one page, there are more than 600 discussion messages!

[This sentence is so cool!]
[I will definitely follow this comic!]
[Good review! Finally, there is a cool and rational protagonist!]
[Ah, I’ve recovered. I’ve finally recovered! I’m no longer a saint. I feel so good!]
[The protagonist's behavior is a bit too much, even children are not spared...]
[The keyboard saint upstairs! Did the goblin let go of those beautiful girls in front?]
[Come and have a look, there is a Sacred Heart Beast here!]
The editor suddenly realized.

Comparing the two comics, the look and feel are completely different...

Especially when they were in the same comic magazine and were both about goblins!
After watching Arakawa's "Goblin Leader" and then watching Akechi Mitsu Hideko's "Goblin Slayer", the gentleness and bloody cruelty give people a very strong sense of contrast. Whether it is the development of the plot or the character of the protagonist.

If we say that "Goblin Lord" is like Japanese cuisine with a light taste and a deep enjoyment of the flavor.

Then, "Goblin Slayer" is the hot, spicy, delicious and appetizing Chinese Sichuan cuisine!
The deepest desires of comic fans were revealed by the bloody injuries! It was like the roar of a beast with amplified sound, which was amplified by the restricted images.

What followed was that the protagonist's unscrupulous but effective actions brought about a bloody rain of the goblins, the arch-enemies of humanity, which comforted the kindness and rationality hidden in the hearts of comic fans.

Then, in the third chapter, it is quickly explained why the protagonist is so cruel and full of hatred for the goblins.

His entire family was killed, his sister was bullied right in front of him, and from then on he became a killer who specialized in killing goblins!
Oh——!
All in one go, so satisfying!

The editor stared at the screen blankly. After a long while, he finally said:
“It will be strange if Goblin Slayer doesn’t become a hit!”
-
Oda Shingo's small second-floor studio.

"Shingo, it's really time to deliver the goods." Fujido Kaoru's body twisted and her face twitched.

"Pay it forward."

"Really, really have to hand it in."

"Hurry up!" Oda Shingo urged.

Fujido Kaoru's body kept twisting and turning, and her face was so tense that it looked like she was having a spasm.

If Oda Shingo was a little bit unserious, maybe this would be considered a bad face.

Episodes 1 and 2 of "Spy Playing House" are about to be delivered.

Fujido Kaoru was very nervous. After all, this was her first comic book.

Only after Oda Shingo's constant urging did she click the send button.

Now the studio's optical scanner has been upgraded, and there is no need to submit paper manuscripts anymore, which greatly improves the delivery speed.

In the comic tradition, many great artists were blocked at home by their editors, who forced them to finish the manuscripts before the deadline. Then the editors would rush out like little yellow-clad couriers and rush back to the editorial office.

That era is largely over.

"Times have changed, and the traditional spy model is outdated." Oda Shingo flipped through a comic called "Black Eye Mask" that was still being serialized in "RED" and sneered, "Let alone the content, just the name, it's as old as a mummy, right?"

No wonder "RED" wants to be the fourth, but the three major comics don't agree. It's indeed time to wash out some comics.

The number of pages in an issue of RED is basically fixed. If Oda Shingo wants to take up more space, it means someone will be cut off.

"Shingo, you will make people jealous if you do this." Namikaze Youhe reminded.

"If you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person." Oda Nobuo was firm in his attitude. He could not be too outstanding and at the same time be compassionate to others.

Soon, San Shang Saburo called: [Shingo, I saw the new manga, it's very good. But, it seems a little slow to warm up? ]
"It's a daily comic after all." Oda Shingo said with a smile, "Don't worry, it will become popular within ten chapters."

[I believe you. But, I saw the plot draft you submitted, doesn’t the protagonist have a harem?]
[Harem? That's outdated. How can love be shared? One-on-one pure love is popular now, isn't it? Love cannot be fickle.] Oda Shingo snorted.

After talking for a while, Oda Shingo put down the phone.

But he was surprised to find that several girls around him were looking at him.

"Okay, you're getting better and better at telling lies." Fujido Kaoru snorted.

Yuko Mikami didn't dare to say anything. Mrs. Yukino smiled playfully, and Yuzuru Namikaze looked at him with resentment.

"What happened? Did I say something wrong?" Oda Shingo looked confused.
