Chapter 356: More Than God, Less Than Man
The announcement of Shingo Oda's new comics is like a clarion call to battle.

So targeted!

Anyone who knows a little gossip in the comics industry knows that this is a work in which Shingo Oda and Rumiko Kurokawa compete with each other.

Do you draw romance comics? I draw too!

The comic critics were quite excited and were ready to give a fierce review.

The editors of comic websites have a lot to do. They are eager to pin related news to the top and provoke heated discussions among anime fans.

"The popularity of the comics forum is one of the evaluation indicators!"

"Great! With Teacher Oda here, we won't have to worry about not completing the assessment mission!"

"Since his debut half a year ago, there has been no shortage of topics on the comics forum!"

"I admire him! Why don't we worship him too?"

"Okay! I can do root carving. I'll carve a great god named Oda Shingo."

As a result, the image of Oda Shingo became popular again in some comic forum studios.

Oda the Great God, makes trouble every day! Burn incense and worship him, please take care of him!
On the other side, Rumiko Kurokawa received a call from Noritaka Oyama.

"Oh, he's also drawing a new comic? Let me take a look... Is the name and category the only valid information?" Kurokawa Rumiko's cold voice came from the phone, "It's of no use as a reference. Call me when it comes out."

Koyama Zelong in the office of Qun Ying She was ashamed. This great man was really not panicking.

Then, Kurokawa Rumiko gave an order in a tone that sounded like a superior: "By the way, Mr. President, I have already selected the list of assistants you gave me and sent it to you. Have them report to my studio immediately."

"Okay, are you sure these six female assistants... uh, only female ones?" Xiaoshan Noritaka quickly agreed.

He looked at the email form on the computer screen and saw in silence that she had selected all the female assistants from the pre-selected list.

She is really not picky. No, she only picks women.

Why not choose a few male assistants? Could it be that she hates men? Koyama Noritaka didn't understand. It is said that misogyny mostly occurs in people who don't look good. He visited the person himself and naturally knew that Kurokawa was a beautiful young woman.

Kurokawa Rumiko just casually responded to his doubts: "I already have the best man in my heart. If you send a male assistant, I will just return it unsatisfactory. I will continue to draw comics. Sorry for the rudeness."

Then she hung up the phone.

Xiaoshan Zelong curled his lips and put down his phone.

Who is her ideal man? Someone on the Forbes list?

Xiaoshan Zelong couldn't guess.

While he was speculating, the staff and director of the marketing department were discussing the sales of "Jump".

"According to incomplete statistics, the sales volume of this period has increased by 160% year-on-year!"

"Amazing! Master Kurokawa has a strong appeal!"

"Many comic fans are her die-hard fans."

“I wonder what kind of results the new manga by Oda Shingo will bring to Champion.”

"It's called 'The World God Only Knows'. Is it really about love? Why do I feel like it's about Western fantasy?"

The marketing staff are discussing Shingo Oda's new manga.

The head of the marketing department wiped his sweat and said, "Damn it! Why did you turn the topic to Oda Shingo again? It's consistent with the public opinion on the Internet."

After he said this, many employees also noticed this.

Even the people in Qun Ying Sha were led astray, let alone ordinary readers? Oda Shingo really knows how to hype...

"He can draw comics and hype them up, ugh..." one employee said. "The single books sell well, and the copyright fees account for a high proportion, ugh..." Other employees mentioned other enviable qualities.

"He's handsome and popular with girls, tsk..." The third employee echoed his dissatisfaction.

How abominable!

Fortunately, no one in the marketing department of Qun Ying Sha thought of worshipping Oda Shingo as a god.

Oda Shingo's small second-floor studio.

"How about it, the preliminary comic plot is pretty good, right? Everyone try to draw it with your own brushstrokes, and I'll take a look later." Oda Shingo distributed the storyboards to several female assistants, allowing them to have a preliminary understanding of the plots of the first few episodes and try to draw the details with their own brushstrokes.

He has not yet chosen his main female assistant for this painting. He will make a decision based on the style and effect of the painting.

This is similar to an examination for selecting concubines (crossed out), and of course it cannot be said openly.

Among the female assistants, only Mrs. Yukino had no intention of starting writing, while the other three were sharpening their pens.

"The plot is good, I'm interested." Namikaze Yuzuru felt that he had completed the first draft of "GANTZ" and could devote himself to the new comic.

"Why do I feel that this protagonist is already beyond awesome?" Fujido Kaoru was surprised. Is there any boy who can play games to this level?
Yuko Mikami also nodded.

"Hehe, is it at my level? Above God!" Oda Shingo boasted proudly.

Fujido Kaoru rolled her eyes at him. Her eyes stayed on the scene where the protagonist kissed the girl but stopped without taking any further action.

After dinner, when Oda Shingo took a short rest and stretched on the sofa, Fujido Kaoru happened to come over.

Oda Shingo felt his arms being trapped on both sides.

He quickly withdrew his arm.

Fujido Kacheng rolled her eyes at him again.

“You guy…” She did not stop talking like before, but leaned over and whispered in Oda Shingo’s ear: “More than a god, but less than a man!”
-
A few days later, a new issue of "Champion" was released.

There was a buying craze of the same level as that for Qun Ying Sha's "Jump" a few days ago.

Many comic critics even directly became guest anchors and started live broadcasting comics on the spot.

"Here it comes! The World God Only Knows! Hey guys, let's take a look at this new comic."

Of course, due to restrictions of copyright law, they are unable to broadcast live the paid comic scenes, so they can only broadcast live in the store where the comic fans stay, so that the fans can see the scene of everyone reading comics together.

[So many people! They bought comic magazines and read them directly in the bookstore?]
[I've noticed that quite a few bookstores have introduced this service in recent months.]
[Will you not need a set meal business license?]
[If you don’t sell food, only drinks, you are allowed to set up tables and chairs for the convenience of customers.]
[What the above said is not accurate. It should be that selling bottled drinks does not require a license, but catering prepared on site requires a special license.]
[You guys are off topic. Why are you worrying about comic book stores? What are the comics like?]
[Didn’t you see that those comic fans seemed to be fascinated by it?]
Why is no one discussing this?
[Even the anchor didn’t say anything?]
An unprofessional comic critic anchor who accidentally reads comics and forgets to broadcast live...

The plot of the manga "The World God Only Knows" begins when the boss of hell, Big Skull, arranges the stupid Elusi to find the God of Conquest.

A large number of souls from hell escaped, sneaked into the bodies of humans in the human world, and hid in the gaps in people's hearts.

The male protagonist is a 2D game fan who plays games even during class.

The whole story unfolds in a cheerful atmosphere.

It's a bit like the opening style of "One Moment Apartment"! Many comic fans have this feeling while watching.

Oda Shingo is competing against Kurokawa Rumiko!

Okay, let’s see who is stronger between the Big Devil and the Saint!

Soon, a line from the male protagonist made many people stunned.

Katsuragi Keima, who loves Galgame and is detached from reality, raised his glasses and said calmly:
“Reality is a rubbish game.”

The hearts of countless comic fans trembled suddenly!
