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

Chapter 364: Did Shingo trick me...

If the protagonist of a comic book dies, it is either the end of the story or it is aborted.

The comic book author wouldn't dare to do this, because many comic fans identify with the protagonist. Author, you dare to kill the protagonist... Say! Do you look down on us comic fans?
In the Showa era, there were indeed many comics that killed the protagonists in order to reflect the plot.

But after many comics were drawn like this, even if the fans knew that the protagonist might be resurrected, they would still protest wildly to the comic company.

As a result, under pressure, this kind of painting is no longer seen in the market. There are paintings like this, but they soon become unknown.

But "GANTZ" is different, it really dares to be drawn like this.

The latest episode of "GANTZ" is the Osaka battle of the Black Ball Hunter.

This battle is a story without the protagonist Kurono Kei.

But the comic plot without the protagonist still attracts readers.

While the editors of Spring Bookstore were analyzing the writing techniques of Shingo Oda, comic fans had already started reading "RED".

There are still a large number of pages, allowing comic fans to enjoy a feast of comics.

Battle of Osaka, Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!

Blackball decided that this mission was too difficult and arranged for the Tokyo team to reinforce the Osaka team.

Various monsters from Japanese legends began to appear.

Sakura demon stumbled out, and was shot dead instantly by the young but ruthless Xi Jun.

The human-headed monster, with a disgusting, dirty bearded face, was killed by Kato Katsu when he was careless.

The Gyokutori, which looked like a cross between a bird and a crab, was killed by Osaka's powerful weapon.

The difficulty is increasing.

But when readers realize this, the intensity suddenly increases, leaving everyone breathless.

The black-hat monster and the cow-on are starting to gain strength, making it feel like the black ball hunters will die in battle at any time.

Rurouni's swordsmanship is extremely sharp.

Next came Tengu, who strangled the captain of the Osaka team to death.

The final BOSS, the slippery ghost with a score of 100, took action.

After being cut, they can be fused together, and their shapes can also change.

Female ghost, bull-headed ghost, fallen angel...

The Osaka team's various powerful weapons, powerful armor, and even the appearance of a giant Gundam fill the scene.

But the enemy's pressure was too strong.

The Ninjago, with its ever-changing forms, almost wiped out the Osaka team, and the protagonists also suffered heavy losses.

When comic fans read the last page almost without blinking, they realized that the serialized content of this issue had ended.

"Awesome! Mr. Oda's comics are so good!"

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a comic that made me sweat so much!”

"Where's the new series?! Oda the thief, hurry up and update!"

The reputation of "RED" quickly increased, and with word of mouth from comic fans and the expansion of the Internet, sales began to explode.

The director of the supplement department, Gao Yelan, has not slept well for three days.

She didn't dare to look at the data in advance and waited until the third day when the more accurate "three-day plan" data came out.

According to general experience, the sales of a comic magazine on the third day after it is released are usually half of the total sales of the issue.

"It would be...how much..." Takano Ran's hands were shaking as she clicked on the page on her laptop.

The statistics from the marketing department have arrived.

It clearly shows that the three-day sales of this issue of "RED" totaled 91 copies!

Compared to the previous record-breaking three-day sales of 76 copies, it has increased again! And it is a leap forward!
Is this still the data of a supplement magazine? They are already touching the buttocks of the three major comics and making weird laughter!

After the surprise, I felt a little weak.

Takano Ran's mind began to revisit the past few months, when she was worried about whether the magazine would be shut down. But now, the supplement "RED" is actually catching up with the first-tier comic magazines!

"Ah——" Takano Lan felt weak and fell back in the chair.

Saburo Mikami just came in from outside. When he opened the office door, he saw his future girlfriend Ran Takano lying flat on the chair.

Not flat, but still in good shape.

"What's wrong?" Saburo Mikami asked quickly with concern.

Takano Lan squinted her eyes weakly, panting for a while without answering. "No, are you okay?" Sankami Saburo subconsciously glanced around the office, and there was no cabinet where he could hide...

"Yes...Oda Shingo..." Takano Ran said weakly, as if she had been tortured so hard that she had no strength left.

Saburo Mikami touched the top of his head subconsciously.

It must be my illusion, San Shang Saburo quickly comforted himself.

But Kono Ran was thinking, Oda Shingo had clearly stated that the first part of "GANTZ" would end after the Battle of Osaka. But, if he stopped...

So, while Mikami Saburo was feeling anxious, Takano Ran said, "Without Oda Shingo, we can't live. No one else can do it as well as him..."

Saburo Mikami was confused.

Was I really cheated on by my brother-in-law?

Soon, Oda Shingo received a call from Mikami Saburo.

"Fuck you! Shingo!"

"?" Oda Shingo asked with a question mark on his forehead, "Are you looking for your sister? Yuko?"

"Stop calling you Yuuko so affectionately! I'm talking to you, sister! I just learned some new Chinese curse words."

"..." Oda Shingo was speechless and quickly replied, "Your Excellency's brain is so smooth."

"?"

"In the Chinese language, it is said that your brain has no sulci and gyri."

"?"

"You'd better stop showing off Chinese culture in front of me." Oda Nobuo laughed.

Mikami Saburo complained a few more times before he started talking seriously: "My Kono Ran said..."

"Your family..." Oda Shingo joked.

"It's my house, claiming sovereignty. Ahem, anyway, Shingo, you have to think about how to fill this gap after the completion of "GANTZ". "RED" still needs your support."

"'Peacock King', didn't I arrange it for you last time?"

Mikami Saburo said, "But that's still not enough. After all, only with you in charge, leading the new authors in the first stage, can the transition be smooth!"

“……”Oda Shingo rolled his eyes while holding the phone.

"Many comic fans may not trust new authors, please help them!"

"It depends on my inspiration." Oda Shingo evaded.

"When did you run out of inspiration?!"

"Then I'd consider giving me a girl." Oda Shingo said in a disingenuous tone.

"I've already given you my sister! Are you still greedy?!"

Oda Shingo smiled: "Hey, this Chinese language is used well. Wait, do you have a sister?"

"Your sister!"

"And the second sister?"

"Your sister!"

Time flies, and a few days later it is the release day of the new issue of "Jump".

Anime fans saw two updated episodes of "One Moment Apartment".

In the preface, Rumiko Kurokawa mentioned that she has an assistant arranged by Qun-Ei-Sha, which allows her to draw faster.

This made the fans happy.

"It would be nice if the comic war between Kurokawa Rumiko and Oda Shingo could continue like this!"

"Yes, yes! In fact, I'd like to watch both of them."

"The market is vibrant only when there is competition, and the same is true for the comics industry."

"But I still like Mr. Oda more, especially the one playing the suona funeral song, which directly recharged the stupid Noritaka Koyama's hospital stay. It made me so happy."

"So, the feud between Qunyingshe and Oda Shingo will not stop for the time being."

"Go ahead and fight! I want to see rivers of blood!"

Whether it is comic fans, editors or comic critics, they are all waiting for the second round of the list confrontation between the two sides.
