Chapter 435 Welcome in, Batgirl
After the inside story of Rumiko Kurokawa's new comics was revealed, netizens initially had serious doubts.

"How is that possible! Oda-sensei and Kurokawa-sensei are rivals, right? At least competitors. How could they possibly collaborate on a comic together?"

"Kurokawa-sensei already has two comics being serialized, and she never fails to finish a story. How can she have the time to continue with the third one?"

"That's right. And I've never seen a book published directly without serialization!"

"The above post is very strange. In the last century, famous cartoonists often published single volumes directly. Moreover, comics were originally single volumes, and serialization was a later development."

There are indeed too many unreasonable aspects in this news, such as why Oda Shingo wants to cooperate with Kurokawa, which is the biggest doubt.

They don't need money, right? Why would they help their competitors with scripts? A comic book is most famous for its artist, not its script.

No one could have guessed the reason why Oda Shingo would do this. He simply foresaw the possibility of "Inuyasha" appearing, so he took the initiative to kill this possibility.

Even Kurokawa Rumiko didn't understand why he did this. But she was a smart person, and even if she couldn't get the answer, it didn't affect her creation.

And would Oda Shingo allow Qun-eisha to publish a single volume? And why not just publish a single volume instead of serializing it?
Opinions on this topic gradually converged, and everyone treated it as just a rumor.

But a Yahoo Comics interview with Rumiko Kurokawa confirmed this fact.

After talking about some thoughts and behind-the-scenes stories about the creation of "Ranma 1/2", the interviewer asked about the rumors that Rumiko Kurokawa and Shingo Oda would be collaborating on a new book.

"Yes, I have indeed started cooperation with Oda Shingo."

"Oh? So the previous revelations were not just rumors?"

"It's not a rumor, it's a leak."

Although it is not a recording, the interview transcript comes from Yahoo Comics, a regular comprehensive comics website, and the publisher is the editor-in-chief of the category, so its credibility is beyond doubt.

Now the comic fans cheered immediately!

"Wow! Kurokawa-sensei is really working with Oda-sensei!"

"I can't wait to read this comic! It's absolutely top notch!"

"Looking forward to it! Super excited! Even more than when my cat gives birth to kittens!"

"The former saint of the industry and the great devil are working together. This is a match made in heaven!"

"The person above, this word doesn't just mean cooperation, it also means marriage!"

But soon a comics critic spoke up and pointed out a key point:
[If it is true that Kurokawa Rumiko and Oda Shingo are collaborating, then will the single volume really be published by Qunyingsha? If it is true, it means too much! ]

[Is it possible that Oda Shingo will return to the Qun Ying Sha? 】

[Qun Ying Sha extends an olive branch to Oda Shingo! Qun Ying Sha may become the biggest yellow hair since the new century, and Springfield Bookstore may be awesome! ]

[The new president of Qunyingsha must be implementing a new policy of conciliation and recruitment towards Oda Shingo! ]

When everyone thought that Qunyingsha was very close to signing two great comic book writers, a statement that fully proved that "close" was just an adjective occurred.

"I refuse!" Oda Shingo gave a clear rejection to Kurokawa Rumiko.

He received an inquiry call from Rumiko Kurokawa.

Miss Kurokawa asked him if he agreed that Inuyasha was going to sign a contract with Qun-eisha.

This was a very smart and polite way of asking for advice. After all, the dispute between Oda Shingo and Qunyingsha was well known to the world, and Kurokawa had to ask Oda Shingo's attitude in person, whether out of personal feelings or because of the cooperative relationship.

"Shingo, what you mean is... you don't want Inuyasha to be published by Qun-eisha? The conditions they offer are much more favorable than those of Springfield Books. Even though I believe that Springfield Books is sincere, it is possible that Shingo Oda will get more commissions from the copyright of his new book if he signs a contract with Qun-eisha. Smart people don't need to say too much, what's more important is to show their attitude.

Oda Shingo said slowly into the microphone of his mobile phone: "This is a question of stance, Ms. Kurokawa. I think you are a smart person. I don't need to explain too much."

"I see. Then I'll choose Springfield Books."

"Thank you very much, it's a pleasure working with you." Oda Shingo hung up the phone.

As soon as he put down his phone, Oda Shingo saw several female assistants around him looking at him.

"It must feel great to give orders to the great manga master, right?" Fujido Kaoru said, her words tinged with sourness.

Why does this guy seduce women everywhere? Even his competitors, as long as they are female, he will flirt with them a few times?
Namikaze Yuzuru, however, has a little fangirl opinion: "What Shingo just said was very decisive, and actually quite cool."

Although she was bothered by the increasing frequency of Kurokawa's visits to Nobuo, she believed that Nobuo would not be seduced by beauty. After all, nothing had happened to the four beauties around him.

Should this be called trust or sadness?
What Yuko Mikami said was: "No matter what excessive demands Oda-sensei makes, Kurokawa-sensei will satisfy them, right?"

Mrs. Yukino laughed out loud.

Several people looked at Yuko Mikami together, thinking that the way this girl spoke was really easy to make people think of something wrong.

"Rumiko Kurokawa sent an email."

The first 5 episodes of "Inuyasha" have been sent.

The draft has been shown to several comic companies before, and now it is being reviewed by Shingo Oda.

As a script provider, he can make biased comments.

However, Shingo Oda not only focused on the plot, but also outlined and wrote down his own suggestions for improvements on the scanned draft.

Relying solely on his own script, the first draft he drew was 90% similar to the original on Earth. Nobuo Oda had to be convinced: Rumiko Kurokawa was really the projection of Takahashi Ogami from another world.

After he finished writing the draft opinion, Fujido Kaoru came over quickly and took it away.

"I'll do it! It's very convenient! It's easy to do work electronically now."

She worked tirelessly as a courier for remote electronic materials.

Although this guy looks carefree, he is actually very thoughtful. Oda Shingo stroked his chin to judge.

Fearing that the two would feel that the communication was not smooth and would end up sitting together, Fujido Kaoru was so proactive in doing a good job of information transmission.

After seeing the feedback draft, Rumiko Kurokawa called me happily and expressed her strong agreement with Oda Shingo's suggestions for changes.

The two talked for a long time.

Namikaze Yuzuru, Fujido Kaoshi and Mikami Yuko looked at each other, and they all felt a serious sense of crisis.

In the evening, when Oda Shingo was about to rest, there was a gentle knock on the glass window.

Oda Shingo looked over in surprise and saw Namikaze Yukaku hanging upside down outside the window.

"Nobuo, can I come in and talk?"

Hello, Batgirl… Although Oda Shingo hesitated for a moment, he quickly agreed: “Of course.”
