Chapter 292 Discovering Oda Shingo!

The last time I saw Nobuhiro Arakawa on TV was when he was making such a ridiculous statement. No wonder he looked so familiar, Oda Shingo quickly took out his phone and searched for photos.

This fat face, with the eyes almost squeezed out, you can tell it’s him at first glance.

Uh, it really is... Nobuhiro Arakawa?
Enemies often meet each other. I didn't expect to meet here.

Oda Shingo quickly pulled Fujido Kaoru gently and pretended to look at other display boards.

Temporarily leaving the crowded place, Fujido Kacheng whispered: "Do you know any of these people? Is there anyone who is worried? Has he ever been to you? I'm going to beat him up!"

She thought that when Oda Shingo's parents had an accident, the school took him out of school and he was in debt, maybe someone
“…No.” Oda Shingo rolled his eyes, but the intention of helping was still good.

He hurried to explain.

Fujido Kaoru covered her lips in surprise: "It's that old thief Arakawa?!"

This is a good name, and Oda Shingo almost laughed out loud. He is used to being called an old thief on the Internet, and he never thought that his enemies would be treated like this.

His impression of Fujido Kajuu suddenly improved greatly. Don't look at her as a little rough, a little straightforward, a little startled, a little greedy, a little charming, a little seductive...

Never mind, she is still hopeless, a fool who can't catch a cold. Don't change your opinion of her just because of this good performance.

Oda Shingo continued to look at the comic strip with Fujido Kaoru, and watched Nobuhiro Arakawa and his group walking by out of the corner of their eyes.

Nobuhiro Arakawa was invited as a temporary guest.

As a veteran in the comics industry and the current mainstay of Qun-Eisai, his presence at the school is a tribute to the Tokyo University of the Arts.

The current economic situation is not good, and the school attaches great importance to comics, one of Japan's pillar industries. Not every student can become an artist, and 99% of students' works cannot be sold after graduation.

Art is higher than life, but life cannot be separated from food. Employment indicators are very important. Not only schools, but also students regard employment in the comics industry as an important direction.

According to employment data from previous years, 40% of students majoring in fine arts at Tokyo University of the Arts do enter the animation industry after graduation, while the rest join industries such as fashion design, craft design, and criminal investigation drawing.

Except for the public sector, employment in the latter industries is not as stable as that in the animation industry.

Are you jealous? But it is at the expense of the health of the animation workers, and they work overtime!

The animation market is huge, and sudden deaths happen one after another.

Japan is a major animation country, with the animation industry accounting for more than 16% of its GDP.

动画制作行业的市场规模,在2023年达到创新高的3390.2亿日元。较22年增长22.9%,首次突破3000亿日元。

Of course, there is a lot of water in this, because a lot of business is outsourced, but it is still included in GDP.

For example, projectNo.9, the well-known P9, is a typical animation company that relies entirely on outsourcing.

What? You haven't heard of P9? Then you must have heard of the nickname "Original Crusher"?

There is a joke about the animated series, which is that it was badly animated by P9, which describes how the quality of the outsourced animation is so shocking.

A relatively new anime series called "Why No One Remembers My World" has a production level that reaches... the level that makes you want to dig your eyes out and crush them!

(As shown above, the important world evolution heroine distorted and disappeared. It turned out to be like this. It was just a distortion of a portrait...)
Nobuhiro Arakawa was invited over, and the school's middle-level managers accompanied him like stars surrounding the moon, and there was even a principal in charge of art.

After some business flattery, Nobuhiro Arakawa also gave an impromptu speech to the students.

"Everyone loves the animation industry. I have seen many young people who are very talented, but sometimes they are swallowed up by the tide of the times just because of a little setback or unwillingness to put in a little more effort..."

He talked a lot with his belly sticking out, quite satisfied that someone was listening to his opinions.

"Some comic book practitioners, for the sake of a little market benefit, make money through some bloody violence or personal temptation, which really forgets the duty and pursuit of comic book people!"

He angrily raised his fist, and his chubby hand looked like he wanted to beat the scum of the comics world away.

Some teachers who were quick to react quietly removed one or two Oda Shingo comic display boards, and those who couldn't move stood there to cover the comics. Fujido Kaoru was also listening, and when she heard such words, she was immediately unhappy and wanted to turn around to refute and ask for an explanation.

"Don't move. Just read the comics with me." Oda Shingo pressed her arm with his elbow.

Fujido Kaoru stopped groaning, looked up at the display board they were facing, and soon blushed: "Hate it, letting others see this kind of thing, hooligan..."

She stared at Oda Shingo with her big eyes, but they made people feel full of watery charm.

The display board happened to be a painting by Shingo Oda, showing the male protagonist in "GANTZ" standing behind the female character Megumi Kishimoto, with his hands stretched forward to hold the dual front headlights.

"Ahem, let's change it." Oda Shingo took Fujido Kaoru to the next display board.

It's still mine, but it's the scene in "JOJO" where Joestar got hit by a magnet and sucked Abdel's face between his legs...

"I told you that you're a gangster." Fujido Kaoru's face turned even redder. "You can't do this kind of thing until you've paid a visit to my dad..."

Her face turned even redder, and Oda Shingo's waist bent even more.

Nobuhiro Arakawa next to him had already finished his impromptu speech.

One of the teachers who surrounded him flattered him seriously, not caring about the dark side: "You said it very well! We have seen the ideological height that the Showa style should have! There is a person nicknamed the Big Devil, how can he compare with you?"

They could see that Nobuhiro Arakawa hated Oda Shingo very much.

Even the instructor kept nodding and bowing: "That's right! If he comes to our school, he will definitely be ignored!"

"How does it compare to your reputation?!"

"That's right, one is in heaven and the other is on earth!"

"That guy is just a student on leave from our school."

The students were also very supportive: "Teacher Arakawa, please give me an autograph!"

"Mr. Arakawa, please do me the honor of signing my painting!"

"Mr. Arakawa, please sign our nameplate. Our comics club will hang it in the club's activity room!"

However, many female students remained reserved and just clapped their hands politely.

Mr. Arakawa’s appearance… is too bad.

He was in his forties and relatively unpopular.

If Arakawa were in his seventies or eighties, his popularity among Japanese women would probably increase tenfold!
Oda Shingo walked out with Fujido Kaoru who wanted to hit someone again.

But at this time, an acquaintance came in at the door.

The man met Oda Shingo and stared at him for a moment before recognizing him, but soon said in surprise:

"Oda-kun?! You actually came back to your alma mater? Are you here to see if there's any of your comics at the comic review exhibition?!"

The person who came was Sato Ryota, the guy who had previously misunderstood that Oda Shingo borrowed money and did not return it, which led to a conflict between them and Oda Shingo being discovered as a talented person by the head of Fujido.

He didn't mean to do that, but his rude personality and loud voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Everyone's eyes turned to Oda Shingo.

The handsome young man, wearing a suit that was obviously made of expensive material, was a prominent figure.

"Ah - it's really Oda the Great!" a female student exclaimed.

She remembered, it was really Oda Shingo!
