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

Chapter 426: Prepare for Public Suicide! Oda Shingo!

Seeing the invitation from the TV station, the director of the Labor Standards Bureau had a distorted expression and spirit.

"To go or not to go?" he murmured.

Ignoring them and letting them comment on your own people without refutation on the spot seems to be a big loss.

But if I go, I will be criticized and questioned on the spot. If I give a bad answer or say something inappropriate, it may make the matter even bigger and even form a scandal.

What's more, it is rare for Japanese authorities to appear on television.

The invitation from the TV station was just a routine invitation letter, and there was no expectation that the Labor Standards Bureau would come.

Because the TV stations all think that no one would be stupid enough to come and get scolded.

"There will be no show next season, so let's find a Japanese government agency to scold."

"There's another scandal at Japan's XX Bureau and XX Agency. Come on the show!"

"The ratings have been dropping recently, so why don't we criticize a government agency to boost its popularity?"

"The manzai writers are running out of words, let's find a theme that satirizes government agencies!"

These are conversations that often appear between cast and crew members on TV news and variety shows.

A traditional feature of Japanese television is to tease the authorities.

The audience likes to watch this kind of show. Many people are even too lazy to curse and just watch this kind of show with expressionless faces.

Problems and contradictions such as the poor construction of public service facilities, too many shortcomings in the social welfare system, and the low birth rate in society as a whole is due to problems at the decision-making level can all be attributed to the fact that the authority agencies are too weak, too rotten, and too useless.

There was a survey in which the first option was to ask how Japan's overall strength ranked in the world. Most people who filled out the survey chose the top ten.

Although this is the blind self-confidence of the Japanese, the fun is still in the second question, which is actually to ask how you think Japan's competent authorities can rank in the world.

As a result, the most selected option was 40-50.

Compared with this, the Japanese people's blind confidence in their comprehensive national strength and their trust in the authorities are extremely ridiculous.

But this is still the funny part. The biggest joke is that after it was broadcast on TV, several passers-by who were asked said that they chose 40-50 because the highest nouns only go here, and they actually wanted to choose after 100!
This shows how serious the Japanese people's dissatisfaction with the authorities is.

Therefore, one of the more popular Japanese sports is to change the prime minister...

Since 1948, Japan has had a total of 54 prime ministers, which means that on average, a new prime minister is replaced every 1.4 years.

This is definitely in the bottom ten in the global ranking.

The countries that change their governors more frequently than Japan are all poor, black, and war-torn countries in Africa...

There is a joke that a new cleaning lady in a Japanese government residence asked another cleaning lady in the toilet: "How can I stay here longer?"

The toilet lady replied: "Just don't be like the prime minister... The toilet rolls piled up in the toilet warehouse in recent years have not even passed their expiration date, but the prime minister has changed three times..."

The director of the Labor Standards Bureau hesitated for a long time, but decided to keep silent.

He directly threw the invitation letter to his subordinate director.

It’s up to you guys!

I won’t express my opinion, I won’t support or oppose. If things go bad, it’s your fault. If things get better, it’s because of my good leadership.

The subordinate director was furious in his heart, but on the surface he accepted it neatly.

Then, he also pretended to be dead. The excellent mechanism of Japanese authority departments: if the boss does not express his opinion, the subordinates will take the blame.

So naturally, the TV station’s invitation received no response.

The presenters didn't take it to heart at all, because it was customary, and the probability of an official appearance was less than one percent, unless it was a program praising them.

The TV station's attention is focused on inviting Shingo Oda.

Unfortunately, Shingo Oda was only focused on drawing comics and ignored the TV station's invitation.

Japanese TV stations such as Tokyo Broadcasting System and Fujisan Broadcasting System have launched interview or chat programs to cater to the market's enthusiasm.

Without exception, the shows all start with the popularity of "Cells at Work! Black" and begin with the resonance of the workers' feelings.

Then I took pictures of workers coming back from overtime late at night, wandering around on the subway, exhausted and ready to sleep at any time, and new employees eating bread on the sidewalk after overtime...

In response to the wave of protests against exploitation and boycotts of overtime work sparked by this comic, experts, male and female actors, social figures and other people sat together to discuss this social phenomenon.

The show was almost entirely about slamming the Labor Standards Bureau in the face, and in the end everyone reached a consensus: Japan's Labor Standards Bureau is a big piece of crap that has done nothing for decades!
People from the Labor Standards Bureau are no longer brave enough to ride on buses with the bureau’s logo when they go out.

The people in the Department of Culture were almost dying of laughter.

You deserve it! You are allowed to post soft articles! We have the great devil Oda Shingo!

With the TV show using "Cells at Work! Black" as an introduction, Oda Shingo's popularity has been further increased. "Champion" has also reaped a lot of benefits because it serialized this manga for the second time.

Because paper reading is still the main form of reading in Japan, and it is also a traditional habit. Although the series is serialized on the official website of the Agency for Cultural Affairs, it has a considerable influence, but the audience is still limited.

"Two million! Two million sales achieved!" A scream rang out in the editorial office of Springfield Books.

Then there were cheers one after another.

Market data shows that the cumulative sales of "champon" reached 200 million in the middle of last month!
That issue happened to be the time when Oda Shingo and Kurokawa Rumiko were competing fiercely, and the market was full of gimmicks, and sales soared. It can be said that the two great writers worked together to promote the sales rise of the up-and-coming Springfield Bookstore.

200 million per issue is the representative sales standard for first-class comic magazines, and it is also the recognition standard in the millennium.

Even the industry leader Qunyingshe doesn’t dare to claim that every issue has 200 million sales. The most common claim is 180 million sales, and even this sales figure is suspected to be a lie.

The president of Haruta Bookstore, Sadako Haruta, personally came to Oda Shingo's studio to express her gratitude.

She specially sent an invitation to the celebration party for achieving 200 million sales.

Naturally, Oda Shingo could not refuse such an invitation.

Then the heads of various departments, along with the editor-in-chief, section chiefs and other staff, came in batches to express their gratitude.

"Saburo, why didn't you bring your girlfriend?" Since Saburo Mikami and Takano Ran did not come together, Oda Shingo teased them.

"Well, this is official business, and of course it can't be mixed with personal matters."

Yuko Mikami was envious: "Onii-chan, are you finally dating someone officially? Before, it was just for fun..."

How did she know? Don't let Kono Ran know! Sansaburo quickly covered his sister's mouth.

On Saturday, Springfield Books will hold a celebration event.

However, the Labor Standards Bureau, which had been licking its wounds in the dark, was ready to strike back on this day...

The director of the Labor Standards Bureau had thick eye circles that concealed his sinister gaze: "Oda Shingo, I will make you publicly die on the issue of overtime!"
