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

Chapter 465 has the potential to reach the national comic level!
Before the comics market fully responded to "Saint Seiya", Saburo Mikami had already noticed the unusualness of this comic.

Early in the morning, at eleven o'clock, when "Champion" was just published, Saburo Mikami ran to Oda Shingo's studio to express his feelings.

The manuscript that Saburo Mikami received was the latest one, which was later than the 5 chapters published in this issue.

"Shingo, this comic is amazing, really amazing!" He was a little excited and incoherent.

The manuscript that Oda Shingo submitted to the main publication department of "Champion" had already passed the Galactic War stage and reached the Dark Saint Seiya part.

Saburo Mikami was so excited when he saw it.

He even came directly from the Springfield Bookstore headquarters to discuss the serialization method of this comic with Oda Shingo in person.

With many years of experience working in comics, he could tell at a glance that "Saint Seiya" was extraordinary.

Despite the winning halo effect of Oda Shingo, the atmosphere and appeal of this manga are indeed beyond reproach.

Many readers who have not experienced that era would say that "Saint Seiya" has poor art style, thin character design, and a simple story, but it has been popular for nearly forty years.

The version drawn by Oda Shingo now is not bad in style, but it is definitely not exquisite.

He didn't even ask the chief writer Fujido Kajuu to work too hard, but instead tried his best to focus on the updating speed.

Of course it won't be the rubbish painting style of "Saint Seiya ND". If it really uses that kind of painting style, he will be criticized for not being attentive. Oda Shingo will not allow his subordinates to produce such a sloppy painting level.

"Shingo, I feel that your comic has really entered a new realm." Saburo Mikami has a keen eye and saw the strength of this comic.

"Yes, this comic is different from any of my previous works." Oda Shingo is very confident: I have abandoned all the character creation, repeated plot twists, and deep story connotations. "

“I can see that your work does not narrate the story in a rigid manner, but sets up a seemingly grand cause at the beginning, and then plunges into a tense and exciting fight, making readers excited and unable to extricate themselves.” Saburo Mikami expressed his feelings.

Oda Shingo gave a thumbs up and said: "This work is actually the simplest formula that truly adapts to the core of the market."

"That's right. You have grasped the core of the market's attention and know what comic fans want to see. All the minor details are omitted, and the remaining ones are the core. There is a Chinese saying that describes it, big..."

"Great skill does not require elaborate work." Oda Shingo added with a smile.

Mrs. Yukino, who had already retreated to the second floor, murmured softly, "Return to nature."

She read the comic carefully and found that it did not have the problems that exist in many comics today, such as whining and the insistence on elevating emotions, raising the level, and enriching the characters.

It can be seen that Oda Nobuo's skills have made great progress compared to half a year ago.

Mrs. Yukino was even more excited about the comic book he promised to give her during the New Year.

Downstairs, Oda Shingo and Mikami Saburo seriously discussed how to serialize the story.

Oda Shingo vowed that the weekly submission volume would reach 5 episodes.

"You mean you want to keep updating the massive amount of the first five chapters?" Sankami Saburo's eyes twitched when he heard this. "Is this possible while still ensuring the quality of Koga Ninja Scrolls?"

He originally thought that the 5-episode update in the first period was explosive, but he didn't expect that he could actually do it continuously.

This period was temporarily increased to 5 chapters because two comics happened to be suspended at the same time, and some pages such as chat stories and close-ups of beauties were reduced to squeeze out the extra pages.

If you want to continue serializing, you must apply for an increase in the journal page number like "RED".

"Yes. If you are worried, I can accumulate 15 chapters." Oda Shingo smiled, "In addition, "Koga Ninja Scrolls" is a short story, and it will be finished in no more than 30 chapters." Saint Seiya has many problems. In fact, if it is just a copy of the original, he can update 7 chapters per week. But 5 chapters per week is the best update volume for comprehensiveness.

This is the conclusion of the update speed that Oda Shingo came to after making many changes to the original work. He made changes to issues that were criticized by readers, such as Ikki meeting Shaka in advance.

The premature appearance of the Gold Saint lowered Ikki's status as the boss at the time and even affected the value of the Silver Saint.

Also, the situation of Saori's daughter always being caught was slightly modified by Oda Shingo. At least she is no longer the girl who always needs to be protected.

In many fan works, Saori is described as someone who gives away her head in a battle, which shows that Mr. Kurumada's original work had plot flaws due to his rush to finish the work.

For example, in Japan on Earth, there was a joke like "You want to be Athena?", which was a satire on the mindless behavior of giving away heads.

For Shingo Oda, who now has more years of experience and skills in comics, it is easy to modify these problems.

After all, comic book scriptwriting skills have been fully perfected after more than 30 years. And the times have changed, and there is a greater need for a more domineering incarnation of the goddess Athena.

"Then leave it to me. I'll make all the extra pages for you! The last three issues in December, no problem!"

After making this promise, Saburo Mikami went to the Tokyo Regional Cultural Affairs Bureau to apply for an increase in the number of pages.

Everything went quite smoothly.

It is very difficult for paper magazines to survive now. Any increase in costs requires careful consideration by the company. In fact, there have been no applications for increasing the number of pages in the past few years.

Saburo Mikami even found a little easter egg at the Cultural Affairs Bureau: the previous application was also from Springfield Books, and was submitted by Ran Takano, who serialized "RED" last time.

"I didn't expect Minister Mikami to come in person to handle the formalities. It must be because of Mr. Oda, right?" The official from the Cultural Affairs Bureau who reviewed the application even said directly, "Your company is really lucky to have met an author like Oda Shingo!"

"You're right, TOEFL TOEFL." Saburo Mikami bowed.

A hen that lays golden eggs, and even lays double or even triple yolk eggs every time, what else can compare to this?
After leaving the Cultural Affairs Bureau, Saburo Mikami prepared to go to the parking lot.

A few children passed by, laughing and playing.

"Pegasus Meteor Fist!"

"Lushan rises to dominate the dragon!"

Saburo Mikami was stunned.

The journal has only been published for half a day, and there are already children learning it?
Is the influence of Oda Shingo's comics so terrifying?

As soon as he entered the parking lot and was walking through the narrow parking spaces typical of Japan, Saburo Mikami heard these words again.

"There's a hole on your left chest!"

"You pervert!"

It was a couple who had just got off the car, laughing and joking.

Saburo Mikami got into the car but did not start it immediately.

His hands were shaking uncontrollably.

"Saint Seiya" seems to have more market potential than I expected!
Could it be possible to reach the national comic level? !
