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

Chapter 368: The former saint will not die from the slow pace
The battle between Oda Shingo and Kurokawa Rumiko in comics cannot be decided in a short period of time.

This was only two or three rounds of fighting.

However, almost everyone felt that Oda Shingo seemed to be slightly better.

Because he is as fertile as a sow...

"Cells at Work!", "GANTZ", "Spy Play" and "The World God Only Knows" are four comics being serialized together, which is simply horrifying.

Everyone felt that even in the mature era of comic studios, no one could accomplish such a feat.

After all, it is very difficult for the human brain to conceive a plot, especially the exciting plots in comics often require repeated scrutiny.

A survey conducted by Japan's best-selling magazine "weekly" did involve Shingo Oda.

This is a magazine that covers all aspects of society and often conducts public opinion polls.

In this issue, in a social survey titled "What kind of research do you think the Japan Institute for Nature Research should conduct?", Oda Shingo ranked third.

Many people think that studying Oda Shingo...

Why does Oda Shingo have such a brain, why is he so shining in the comics world at such a young age, and why does his inspiration seem to be endless.

He ranks third, mainly because the two options ahead of him are a bit out of place.

The first one is to suggest studying [how to breed Chinese giant pandas in Japan], and the second one is [how to breed Chinese crested ibis in Japan].

If Oda Nobuo knew that he would have the honor to be listed together with two rare national treasures, he would not know whether to laugh or cry. Of course, the most likely possibility is that he would be in a dilemma.

"Teacher Oda! You're on the cover of Women's Pictorial!"

As soon as Yuko Mikami entered the door, she started shouting while holding up a picture magazine.

Before Oda Shingo could react, Namikaze Yuzuru and Fujido Kaoru rushed over like lightning.

Even Mrs. Yukino, who was usually quite quiet, cast her eyes over there.

"Huh? Did you use me as the cover without my permission? I should be paid for it, right?" Oda Shingo was also curious.

Fujido Kacheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "What do you mean by giving me money? It's your honor to be featured in this magazine!"

Unfortunately, the cover was not Oda Shingo, so he would not have the opportunity to sue for copyright infringement. Attorney Kumimon lost a business deal.

After all, the cover of Women's Pictorial features a man who only appears once in a century, at least that hasn't happened in recent years.

As an old women's magazine that has been published since before the war, the most common features on the cover are various flowers or art paintings, followed by women in kimonos.

Oda Shingo had a flash of thought. Looking at the beautiful woman in kimono on the cover of this issue, he felt that it would be better if Mrs. Yukino was on the cover.

"Here, here..." Yuko Mikami changed into slippers and took a few quick steps to show it to the others.

In the second half of the page, there is a list of men who have a mate preference today.

It is a list of men that female readers vote on the most they want to marry.

"It's meaningless." Oda Shingo shook his head and returned to his work desk.

In the past, there have been magazines that published stories about me being a pretty boy, but I’m not so interested in them anymore.

In the list of men that people most want to marry, the first one is a baseball player, the second one is a football player, and the next one is actually Oda Shingo.

You should know that the first two are both super popular stars in Japanese sports. As a cartoonist, Oda Shingo ranks third, and his popularity is definitely beyond the circle.

The readers’ thoughts are listed in the introduction of the list.

[He is handsome and sunny, which completely changed my impression of cartoonists with stubble on their faces.]
[I feel that he is very reserved. Although he often quarrels with others in public, he has never actively hurt others. I think he must be a very gentle person inside.]
[I think his royalties must be very high!]
The editor's analysis also mentioned: Oda Shingo is believed to be one of the top figures in the comics industry in terms of royalties this year, and the estimated amount of royalties before tax will exceed 2 million.

He is rich, young and handsome, and is indeed a good candidate for a husband.

"Women's Pictorial can also make mistakes, right? Shingo is a gentle person at heart? Hahaha!" Fujido Kaoru laughed.

Oda Shingo glared at her.

"No way, Oda Shingo is ranked third? He has surpassed all the stars?" Namikaze Yukaku was surprised.

She wasn't very sociable at school, but she knew that other girls often gathered together to discuss which male celebrities they wanted to marry or have as their boyfriend.

"By the way, what's on the previous page?" Namikaze Youhe flipped through it.

The person I want to be my boyfriend the most on the previous page is not Oda Shingo.

Namikaze Yuzuru and Todou Kacheng were both puzzled.

"Pfft——" Yuko Mikami suddenly laughed, but forced herself to hold it back.

"Tell me, have you figured it out?"

"Yeah, why can't Shingo be on the best boyfriend ranking list?"

The two women quickly asked.

Yuko Mikami thought for a moment and said, "Because if we break up with a boyfriend, we can't share the wealth, right? But with a husband, we can."

Oda Shingo curled his lips. Japanese women are very realistic. They just have their eyes on the wallet.

"Shut up, you'll make Nobuo afraid to get married!" Before Oda Nobuo could glare at Mikami Yuko, Fujido Kaoru hit her.

Yuko Mikami quickly kept silent.

"I think they noticed us." Namikaze Yuzuru turned the page and keenly observed that there was a female assistant next to Oda Shingo in the photo.

Namikaze Yuzuru thinks a lot and feels that many women think that being just a boyfriend also means facing the challenge of having a female assistant.

Fujido Kaoru and Mikami Yuko looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

Yuko Mikami said dimly: "It would be great if Nobuo could be torn into pieces by five horses..."

"Hey, hey, why are you using such nonsense Chinese words?" Oda Shingo wanted to roll up a piece of blank manuscript paper into a cylinder and hit her on the head with it.

"Why is it divided into five parts?" Fujido Kaoru asked puzzledly.

Yuko Mikami explained: "I think there is also Mr. Kurokawa."

Fujido Kaoru nodded as if she understood something.

"I don't want body parts." Mrs. Yukino suddenly said.

All the girls laughed.

Oda Shingo's heart moved, and he glanced at Mrs. Yukino. He didn't know whether she meant she didn't want the stump or just wanted the whole thing...

Too bad Mrs. Yukino didn't even look at him.

In the next few days, the publication date of "Jump" soon arrived.

There was no one queuing outside the bookstore, and no comic fans were reading books there.

But the level and performance of comics cannot be judged so easily.

The sales of "Jump" in various bookstores are pretty good, and online subscriptions are also okay, which is a very stable performance.

In Rumiko Kurokawa's "Imperial Apartment", the warm atmosphere of the plot is fully unfolded, and the personality of each supporting character begins to reveal itself.

When watching comics, fans can feel that each character is alive, with his or her own joys, sorrows, anger, and worries in life, and can even guess what the character will do next and what he or she will say.

The strength of the talented cartoonist has gradually been revealed.

"Xiangzi is not the most perfect woman, but she is the most real and the cutest."

“People who like this comic must be people with deep connotations.”

"Not only the plot, but even the dialogues in Kurokawa-sensei's comics are very good. I suggest setting up an Ikkei Research Institute!"

"Jump" already has a wide audience, and now fans are gradually becoming fascinated by Kurokawa's comic skills.

Three days later, after receiving the tip-off about Jump from Mikami Saburo, Oda Shingo's expression became serious.

It is obviously not easy for the so-called big devil to defeat the former saint.

"The Japanese comics market is worthy of its decades of foundation. The former saint will not die from the slow pace." Oda Shingo touched his chin and prepared to make a killer move.

"It seems that this great demon king needs to increase his strength..."
