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

Chapter 342: The new opponent is coming!

Springfield Books Operations Department.

"We have sufficient stock, don't worry! Three hundred thousand sets of the single volume have been sent to direct-sale stores in various places! In three days, a reprint of one hundred thousand sets will be issued. As for the direct-sale stores of Qun Ying She, hehe, we will talk about it after the third batch of reprints!"

The operations manager of Springfield Books said confidently.

"We learned from the previous 15 copies of One Punch Man and 20 copies of Parasyte, and this time we printed a full 30 copies!"

The subordinates clapped and cheered excitedly.

"Well done, Buchou. You can also help Oda-sensei vent his anger. That's great!"

"What a big deal! How long has it been since the first batch of 30 copies was printed since ten years ago?"

"Minister, is that really enough? I'm already terrified of the phone ringing."

The minister patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, have you ever seen a book with a first shipment of 30 sets in the past ten years?"

The subordinates shook their heads together: "No."

The minister asked again: "Have you heard of a comic serialized in a supplement that sold 30 copies for the first time?"

The subordinates still shook their heads: "No."

The minister was very proud, his nose almost turned up in the air: "Who among you has the courage to plan ahead and approve the second batch of 100,000 reprint orders like me?"

The subordinates shook their heads: "No."

Soon, everyone gave a thumbs up: "The minister is really smart! He has a far-sighted vision and makes accurate decisions! Smart, really smart!"

"Okay, let's get to work!" The minister ended his self-promotion with satisfaction amid cheers.

But before he could get back to his office...

Jingle bell bell—

"What?" A staff member answered the phone. "Huh? Not enough? The number of reservations has been exceeded?"

Jingle bell bell—

Another clerk took the call and showed a surprised expression: "What? Impossible, no way, didn't I give you 500 sets?"

Soon, more and more calls started ringing.

Not enough not enough not enough not enough not enough not enough not enough...

Just like Jotaro's left and right punches in JOJO, the members of the operation department received calls from people complaining that the number of GANTZ three-volume set volumes was not enough.

"Mr. Minister, many direct sales stores have reported that the number of readers who have made reservations has exceeded the supply!"

"Boss! The Kansai regional branch is in urgent need of help! The bookstore said they will block the door if they run out of books!"

"Minister! The Kyushu regional branch is in emergency!"

"Minister! The Shikoku regional branch said that bookstores feel that their supply of GANTZ has been cut, and they are protesting!"

Three hundred thousand sets, not even enough for reservations?! The minister was stunned.

Just now I was saying that I have a long-term vision and they praised me for it.

What's going on? If I had known, I would have returned to the office!

"Baka! Take back all the compliments you just gave me!" After all, the director had been trained for many years, and immediately put his personal honor and disgrace behind him. "Hirakawa-kun, Tanaka-kun, Saotome-kun, the three of you go contact more printing companies immediately!"

"Hi Yi!"

"Kurosawa-kun, Yamada-kun, Mizuki-kun, calm down the people immediately!"

"Hi Yi!"

The entire operations department was put into emergency operation again. Oh my god! Three hundred thousand copies were not enough, why did this "GANTZ" sell so many copies? !

Oda Shingo's studio.

"You ask me why the GANTZ volume sells so well?" Oda Shingo looked at Namikaze Yukaku with a smile.

Namikaze Youzuru sat on the chair and turned his head to express his confusion: "Yes, I think the popularity of "One Punch Man" is higher than it, not to mention the widely discussed "Parasyte". Why are the two single volumes not as good as it?"

Her long hair slid down the back of the chair smoothly, following the line of her slender legs, forming an extremely pleasing line of beauty.

Fujido Kajuu also turned around and looked over: "I don't understand either, how come 300,000 units are not enough for pre-order? The marketing department even specially announced the good news for this."

She twisted her body, and her chest blocked the view. Not to mention seeing what she was drawing on the table, her chest directly blocked the display behind her. The light from the display formed a circle of light around the behemoth, making it look more thriving. Anyone who saw it would worry whether the button would be broken.

Yuko Mikami also turned around, but from her side, it was easy to see what she was drawing without any obstruction...

Oda Shingo thought to himself that you women don’t understand men: “Because it’s black, yellow and red, it’s that simple.”

"Huh?" The three girls didn't understand.

"A comic with good art, gripping plot and satisfying visual effects will sell very well." Oda Shingo smiled.

The same is true for the GANTZ single volume on Earth. The genuine version is very popular. In addition to the official color comic version, there are also fake versions, and even privately printed single volume versions. This can also be regarded as a Chinese feature.

Every time a genuine single volume is shipped, it is sold out very quickly. Second-hand transactions are almost always at the original price, and excellent editions are even sold at a premium.

"The original story of "GANTZ" is already relatively complete, so the single volume only adds some illustrations. There is no need to worry too much about how to make money in this regard. We will focus on serialization." Oda Shingo looked at the progress chart.

There is a large blackboard on the wall, with the progress lines and draft lines of multiple comics written on it in erasable marker.

Shingo Oda stood in front of the blackboard and checked the latest progress: "Not bad, next we will check the "Staphylococcus aureus" that will be serialized in "Cells at Work!" tomorrow.

Yuko Mikami looked at the manuscript that had entered the final review stage and said, "Teacher Oda, although this issue is finished, why did you spend so much effort on the Staphylococcus aureus in this issue? And the macrophages, isn't our purpose to educate?"

"Just like in GANTZ, yellow is always one of the colors boys like." Oda Shingo looked at the close-up of macrophages and nodded with satisfaction, "Mikami-kun, you draw well."

Yuko Mikami sincerely praised each other: "It's Mr. Oda's guidance that's good. You understand women's bodies too well. The details I drew were all guided by you."

"...If you have any questions, don't praise others easily." Oda Nobuo was speechless.

The next day, another episode of "Cells at Work!" was serialized on the official website of the Agency for Cultural Affairs, titled "Staphylococcus aureus."

Comic fans have many feelings when reading the comics.

"Big sister Macrophage in maid costume is here again, so cool!"

"Monocytes take off their gardener clothes and become defensive big sisters like macrophages. This mechanism is really cool!"

"I remember it. I got the knowledge point!"

"Wait, the ladies of Staphylococcus aureus are going to lose again?"

"Don't clear it! I can do it while it's still hot!"

The discussion about "Cells at Work!" in society is also continuing to heat up.

Oda Shingo's reputation is becoming more and more famous, and with the help of official publicity from the Ministry of Culture, he has officially become popular.

Hyakki Hayato touched his empty pocket and called Koyama Noritaka in a cowardly voice: "Mr. President, please don't let Oda Shingo go! That guy is too rampant now, we can't let him continue to be so proud!"

"Useless guy, I have my own arrangements!" Koyama Noritaka said unhappily, "I have already invited a master who is more powerful than Nobuhiro Arakawa!"

"Someone more powerful than Mr. Arakawa... Oh! Could it be..."

Koyama Noritaka's proud laughter came over the phone: "Hahahaha, that's right! The dominating manga master who has been the sales champion for five consecutive years - Mr. Kurokawa!"
