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

Chapter 397: Teacher Oda is betting on his guess!

Oda Shingo said that Kurokawa Rumiko would make mistakes based on some inferences about the plot of "Ranma 1/2".

Because he had been paying attention to this new comic, and even carefully analyzed the differences between it and the other world.

Then we found that the similarity between the two reached more than 90%, with only differences due to the authors' age groups, different eras, and different understandings of China.

For example, in the part about Ranma on Earth, the description of China is basically rural. However, Kurokawa in this world obviously has a much higher understanding of China, and knows that China's development in many aspects has far surpassed Japan.

For example, the clothes of the tour guides in the Curse Spring Village are not old-fashioned, but more fashionable. In the specific plot, the tour guide directly used Japanese spoken language for real-time translation, but the protagonist and his father Genma were careless and fell into the Curse Spring without hearing what the tour guide said.

Since the development of the whole story is basically the same, Shingo Oda is very confident that he can infer that the mistakes in the original "Ranma 1/2" will be repeated in this work.

There is a view that as long as the probability is not zero, then what is supposed to happen will always happen. Therefore, the errors in the original work on Earth will also appear even if they are mapped in a parallel world.

Of course, the so-called "errors" in the original work might not be considered errors in the 80s and 90s, and might even be an important part of enriching the plot and strengthening the conflict. But in 2024...

It's the year 4202 now, and many plots of this classic have become a sore spot for many comic fans due to the different times!
In the tug-of-war between the Demon King's Army and the Saint's Army that lasted for several days, the Yahoo Comics Ranking became the biggest battlefield.

The popularity has increased, the discussion has become unprecedentedly intense, and comic critics also like this atmosphere very much.

Traffic + likes are a win-win situation, everyone is very happy.

Shanpu has long been ranked first among the most popular female characters in comics.

"Look carefully, this white cat girl's name is Shan Pu, and she is currently ranked number one on the comics list of female characters!"

Some people have noticed that in the ranking of comic heroines, Takagi's ranking is gradually approaching Shanpu!
"The second place goes to the heroine of "Teasing Master Takagi-san". The third to fifth places are respectively the female elf, the female hero, and the ice girl from "Uncle in Another World"..."

After Shanpu fell into the cat drowning spring and turned into a white cat, her popularity increased instead of decreased, showing that she was a more powerful heroine than on Earth.

As for Oda Shingo's female characters, the votes were more scattered, especially in "Uncle in a Different World", which has four aunts, cough cough cough, three.

The so-called third aunt is the business leader who was forced to wear a ring in the uncle plot. He was only on the list briefly. Everyone was happy to vote for this character out of a fun-loving mentality, which made this character socially dead.

If this businessman knew that he was not only making a fool of himself in front of the leader, but was also pushed onto the list as the "third aunt" by tens of thousands of people, he would probably dive into the swamp and drown himself.

Although Shan Pu is not the heroine, she is ranked first on the list, which is usually the case with popular comics. Especially for romance comics, if the heroine or supporting actress is charming, there will be a wide audience of comic fans.

Shanpu’s popularity is higher than that of the heroine, and it is quite common for the second female lead to be promoted in comics.

In the 2020 Japanese media survey on Earth, Shanpu is still one of the ten most popular female characters, which shows how popular she is. After all, it was written more than years ago, and it is still remembered by fans.

the next day.

When Saburo Mikami was discussing a new comic with Shingo Oda, he asked casually, "Can I put your opinion that Kurokawa Rumiko will make a mistake on the front page?"

"Okay, trust me. But don't give her a chance to correct it. Just like last time, publish it on the official website the night before Jump is released."

"You are so mean." San Shang Saburo couldn't help laughing, "You didn't tell me the specific reason why I made the mistake."

"What's wrong with me? Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself." Oda Shingo didn't take it seriously at all. "For the specific content, just write "Rumiko Kurokawa pursues plot conflicts too much and accidentally draws a male character who shouldn't appear." This sentence is enough." "Okay! Let me see if you dare to say that, is it right or not!"

At 8 o'clock on Sunday evening, when Qunyingsha delivered the latest issue of "Jump", the official website of Springfield Books suddenly released a banner message.

[Oda-sensei appreciates Ranma 1/2, but thinks Kurokawa-sensei is too focused on plot conflict and may accidentally draw a male character who shouldn’t appear…]

This is the gist of the article.

The official website of Springfield Books also has millions of visitors every day. After all, it is a large website, and the homepage banner quickly spreads the news among the fans.

[Teacher Oda actually said bad things about Teacher Kurokawa?]
[I think it is a review, or a direct expression of one’s own opinion.]
[Don’t worry about Mr. Oda’s personal behavior for now, I just want to know if this is right?]
[Kurokawa-sensei is a man who has dominated the comics world for many years. How could he make a mistake?]
[Sensei Oda said so.]
[I bet my money that Mr. Oda’s original words might not be like this, and it might be a false report.]
[Mr. Oda is the mainstay of Springfield Bookstore. His manuscript must have been reviewed and approved by the top management. How could he have made a mistake?]
When the fans were in disbelief, Oda Shingo's personal YouTube account also posted a message: [Kurokawa teacher will make mistakes. 】

It’s not a long sentence, but it directly acknowledges the official information of Springfield Books.

The comics world was in uproar.

This is equivalent to an open bet! The new issue of Qunyingsha has not been released yet. Could it be that the latest serialized version has been leaked?
But this is not the focus, but rather, will Mr. Kurokawa really make a mistake?

The comic critics are waiting anxiously, and the editors are waiting anxiously.

The editors at Springfield Books are looking forward to confirming Mr. Oda's inference.

The editors of Qunyingshe play the role of preventing any problems from occurring.

Especially those who are responsible for reviewing and proofreading.

But some of them began to feel that something was wrong.

When I read Kurokawa-sensei's latest chapter, I always felt like something was not quite right.

But the manuscript arrived late because it was difficult for Mr. Kurokawa to publish two comics at the same time, and there was nothing we could force.

This also resulted in the editors not having time to discuss the review with each other. Based on the trust in the veteran comics author, the manuscript was approved.

Of course, even if problems were discovered, would there really be an editor who would dare to ask her to revise the manuscript?

Impossible! Who dares to provoke the powerful? If you provoke him, he can make you pack up and leave with just one word!
An editor from Qunyingshe started to wipe his sweat...

Many comic fans already know Oda Shingo's inference, and are waiting for the latest serialization content of the new issue of "Ranma 1/2"...

Could Oda-sensei's bet be right? Could Kurokawa-sensei really make a mistake?

Sunday.

When the latest subscription page of Qunyingsha's official website was refreshed, Oda Shingo immediately read the latest plot of "Ranma 1/2" and smiled...
