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

Chapter 452: Strive for excellence and polish the classic again!
System? You dog system, come out here! Oda Shingo called out in his mind.

Why is it that I have the skills of a painter, but my ink painting is not as good as that of Namikaze Yukaku? He was quite dissatisfied.

But the system ignored him and continued to play dead.

I feel embarrassed if you don't help me. Oda Shingo knew that some people are just naturally gifted in painting.

When Namikaze Youhe first joined the team, his talent in painting was better than mine.

Forget it, don't be jealous of other people's talents, look at their diligence. Oda Shingo can only comfort himself in this way, at least I am not bad in diligence, right?

Oda Shingo then had another discussion with Namikaze Yukaku, exchanging views on incorporating the elegant and free-spirited feeling of ink painting into comics, and then ended the ink painting practice.

Namikaze Yukaku was about to pack up the rice paper and other things, but Fujido Kaoru came over.

"Wait, let me try to draw."

She picked up the paintbrush and clumsily tried to paint on the paper.

But she had never been exposed to ink painting before and it was simply difficult for her to control herself.

When Oda Shingo first tested the three girls, she showed a poor compatibility with ink painting. Oda Shingo chose Namikaze Yukaku as his assistant for this comic after careful consideration.

"What's going on?" Fujido Kaoru tried stubbornly to control the brush, but she felt that the ink was uncontrollably thick and thin.

She practiced boxing, so naturally she couldn't compare with Namikaze Youhe's talent for finely controlled ninjutsu.

No one taught her and she had never been exposed to ink painting. In fact, ink painting was just a noun in her mind. She just watched the two people gesture and it was naturally completely confusing for her to do it herself now.

With a snap, the pen was broken by her.

Fujido Kaoru was also stubborn. She changed a brush and clumsily dipped it in ink again, then pulled up a chair and began to learn diligently at the table.

Oda Shingo had already drawn several storyboards, but when he looked up to drink water, he discovered that Fujido Kaoru was still working hard there alone.

Three of the pens have been broken, and the rice paper on the table is covered with strange strokes.

"The house isn't haunted, why are you drawing ghost symbols here?" Oda Shingo came over and checked Fujido Kaoru's brushstrokes.

She can't even control the basic thickness of her pen.

"Well, let me teach you." Oda Shingo reached out to help, twisted Fujido Kaoru's fingers to adjust the position, then stood behind her, held her hand and taught her with the brush-dragging method: "You have wiped the floor of the dojo, right? The brush-dragging method is similar."

Fujido Kaoru blushed a little.

This was the first time that Oda Shingo took the initiative to approach me.

Especially when the two of them were leaning against each other, it seemed as if she could feel his breath coming from behind.

Her heartbeat quickened a little, and Fujido Kaoru silently let Oda Shingo, who was standing behind her, pull her hand to move the pen.

“……” Namikaze Youhe watched quietly at the side, his lips moving slightly but no sound came out.

Yuko Mikami's eyes showed envy.

Oda Shingo taught Fujido Kaoru for more than ten minutes before finishing the preliminary teaching.

After concentrating a little, he, who was standing behind Fujido Kaoru, noticed that from this position he could actually see inside her slightly open collar.

Now it was Oda Nobuo's turn to have his heart beat faster, as if the blood was rushing to his head and the blood was flowing down to the three directions.

In the past, when Fujido Kaoru approached him actively, letting him see her was far less stimulating than with just a casual glance like this.

"Hey?" Fujido Kaoru exclaimed. She felt that Oda Shingo not only held a pen in his hand, but also had a pen on his body...

Both of them blushed and their hearts beat fast.

"That's about it, it's good as long as you understand it. But you don't have to learn too much, it's just a little fun." Oda Shingo quickly responded with a few words and returned to his work desk.

He was so shameless that he slipped away first, but Fujido Kaoru stood there for a long time.

It was not right to continue practicing with the pen in hand, but I was also embarrassed to hurry back to my seat. I felt my heart pounding, and it took me a long time to return to normal.

Next, Oda Shingo carefully considered the positioning of "Koga Ninja Scrolls".

The market feedback exceeded his expectations. After careful consideration, he discovered that there was indeed great potential for development.

The Japanese manga market in 2024 in this world is similar to that on Earth, but even more miserable and toilet paper-like. There are no masterpieces in the subject matter of ninja manga, and it can even be said that there is no developed manga direction.

Now, this comic has gained a lot of attention as soon as it was released thanks to its good reputation, and even caused reactions from the society and industry. It is a clear sign of a big hit.

Then you can consider making better enhancements and work towards creating a classic.

Oda Shingo asked Namikaze Yukaku to practice the brushwork of ink painting in order to make the comics more expressive.

Then comes the polishing of the plot.

In the original novel of "Koga Ninja Scrolls" on Earth, the portrayal of the heroine Along is mediocre and not very outstanding.

The comic version of Aro is a saintly type of character, which was just right in the 20s, catering to the impact of the improvement of the status of women in Japan.

But in 2024, this is the poisonous point! Oda Shingo thought about it carefully for a long time and came to this conclusion.

It's just like Rumiko Kurokawa's "Ranma", the way it handled the issue of Shanpu having a suitor, Musi, caused an uproar on the Internet.

Tastes for female comic characters vary greatly from era to era.

In the 20s, a big-breasted, hip-baring biker was a popular character. But in 2024, it's a niche character, and it may even lead to a wave of opposition.

This is the reason why a certain game caused a wave of opposition after it released a motorcycle illustration of an important female character.

Times have changed, and aesthetic sentiments have changed.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Shingo Oda made revisions to the image of Alorang in the comics.

He referred to the character design of the live-action version of "Koga Ninja Scrolls".

In this live-action movie set on Earth, the heroine is played by Yukie Nakama, whose courage and decisiveness far surpass those of the original and comic versions.

In the movie, Iga and Koga each have five ninjas, and their skills are different from those in the comics.

For example, the protagonist Gennosuke’s ability is not to force enemies who intend to kill him to commit suicide, but to almost pause time and attack at will.

Oda Shingo listed the two abilities separately, and continued to discuss and choose with Namikaze Yukaku, and then sought the opinion of Mrs. Yukino.

After the preliminary draft was completed, it was evaluated by Fujido Kaoru, Mikami Yuko and external assistants.

Fortunately, "RED" is a bimonthly magazine, otherwise, with such a meticulous pace, it would be difficult to complete the manuscript in time even with the system's bonus.

Shingo Oda and his team spent half a month carefully polishing "The Koga Ninja Scrolls", and then it was serialized again in the latest issue of "RED".

Time has come to December.
