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

Chapter 582: White-hot Battle! Comic Club Wars!
Oda Shingo Studio.

The new character design focused on Android 2 and took a full ​​hours to complete.

Nobuo Oda repeatedly modified the character setting drawings, striving to perfectly combine his painting skills, which were enhanced by the system, with the temperament of the original characters on Earth.

Compared with the charm added by his own writing, Oda Shingo prefers to express the cold temperament of No. 18 in the original work.

Thus, a character that is even more eye-catching than the original No. 18 on Earth was born.

"Why do you attach so much importance to this character? You revised it repeatedly and even designed a color draft? I feel like he's just an ordinary villain?" Yuko Mikami asked Shingo Oda puzzled.

She is tall and slim, with a well-proportioned figure, giving off a cool and elegant vibe. She wears a blue denim vest and skirt with a black silk army corps logo, dark blue leggings, brown boots, and a black and white striped long-sleeved shirt.

She had shoulder-length light blonde hair, with a moderate amount of volume. The left side of her hair was tucked behind her ear, and she wore a small golden earring. Her blue eyes revealed a cold and even slightly repellent temperament.

"Guess?" Oda Shingo did not answer directly.

Yuko Mikami thought for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter and glanced at Oda Shingo with her eyes flickering.

Did she have some wrong idea? Oda Shingo was unable to react for a moment.

Yuko Mikami was thinking: No. 18 has a very flat chest. In the whole studio, only...

She felt that the female character Tornado he designed for One Punch Man could not be said to be very similar to herself, but only to be exactly the same.

When designing female comic characters later, there are few similar ones. At most, Takagi-san who loves to play tricks is one of them.

But in the background setting of that kind of pure love comics, flat-chested heroines are more likely to attract favor and increase the heroine's affinity, so Yuko Mikami did not think that it was a deliberate design by Shingo Oda.

But "Dragon Ball" took so much trouble to add a new female character, and even let us guess, it's obvious that they deliberately embedded the character according to us!

There was a hint of affection in Yuko Mikami's eyes, and the more she looked at Oda Nobuo, the more she loved him.

What the hell, he used to give each female assistant a comic book, but now he's giving them characters? Well, I should work harder on drawing this comic!
As the main artist of "Dragon Ball", Yuko Mikami is even more motivated.

There are unexpected surprises? Oda Shingo was puzzled at first, but later he understood Mikami Yuko's little idea.

In major comic forums on the Internet, comic fans are still discussing "Dragon Ball" enthusiastically.

After the battle with Frieza, many people thought that the plot of "Dragon Ball" might enter a low point.

However, Shingo Oda expressed his understanding of some of the mixed page numbers that were the characteristics of Toriyama's serialization at the time, but he was ruthless in his editing and severely revised the original work's loose structure after Trunks appeared.

The narrative rhythm remains tight, and with warnings from the future and suspense surrounding the strong men preparing for battle, comic fans will not feel bored at all.

With popularity comes business opportunities.

Springfield Books' website is packed with advertisements, and reservations alone are booked until the first half of next year.

This is especially true for "Champion" magazine, where traditional advertising space has long been gone.

Even the marketing staff have become so skilled that they can tell customers by heart: "We are very sorry, we are extremely grateful for your favor, but the page number..."

"It doesn't matter, we'll cover the extra color pages!" Some advertisers have already asked for extra color pages as soon as they met. Extra color pages have always been a symbol of high-end advertising investment, that is, inserting color printed pages that are not counted in the page number into the magazine. This type of advertising that exceeds the page number directly means high advertising investment, because the magazine has to bear the fine imposed by the Ministry of Culture for printing materials that exceed the page number. This is usually done for eye-catching movies or TV series.

Even some online game companies have taken the initiative to contact the Springfield Books marketing department to make a connection. After all, as a combat character, Super Saiyan is very suitable for inserting into the game. Especially for card games, it is a great help for drawing cards.

Super Saiyan peripherals in physical stores have been launched as soon as possible.

Although the figures cannot be produced within half a month no matter how hard one tries due to the production cycle, various stationery and daily necessities such as pen holders, water cups, bookmarks, etc. have begun to be launched into the market as peripheral products.

The comics market in April is in the shape of Dragon Ball.

Soon, it was May and the market sales of "Champion" from the previous month came out.

With four issues of magazines per month, it is possible that one issue surpasses Qunyingsha occasionally, but only if the monthly sales can surpass the other can it be considered as truly standing in the leading position.

According to the actual sales records, the monthly sales of "Champion" reached 1025 million copies!

Although it is still lower than the monthly sales of 1089 million copies of Qun Ying Sha's "Jump", this is already aimed at the opponent's butt, ready to launch a thousand-year kill!

Moreover, this monthly sales volume is based on the distribution status of many issues of magazines in the previous few months. After all, Qunyingshe is a large company with an absolute advantage in market distribution, so the monthly sales volume base is very large.

But the momentum of "Champion" is terrifying. If we only consider the recent few issues, it should be on par with the previous ones.

Everyone realized that a new era of Springfield Bookstore dominance might be coming.

Although this small gap may take a long time to fight for, but with a little more effort, it is very likely to surpass the forty-year hegemony of the comics industry - Qunyingsha!

This is not only the honor of being in the first place, but also means an overall improvement in the salary structure.

The senior management of Springfield Books also held a board meeting and passed a resolution to issue floating assessment bonuses.

The employees of Springfield Books were extremely excited and worked hard.

Saburo Mikami even shouted in the corridor of the main publication department: "Gentlemen, let us work harder together for the hegemony of Springfield Books--!"

After experiencing a few years of falling paper impurities prices and now receiving additional bonuses, everyone knows that it’s time to fight!

In order for Shingo Oda to have good comics, he also needs the assistance of the magazine staff. This is an overall force structure.

Faced with such a challenge, the Qun Ying Society naturally would not be willing to be outdone.

"The budget has arrived! It's in place! It was in place in just three days!" The financial report of Qun Ying Society.

The head of this publication department slammed the table and issued a death order:

"All editors are not allowed to stay in the company. Those with good results should keep an eye on the comic authors and add more chapters! Remind those lazy people that they should think of plots for me even if they have to sit on the toilet!"

"Those of you who don't do well in your studies, go visit all the great masters one by one! I want the best manuscripts! If you can't get good comics, don't come back!"

The market war between the two major comic companies has entered the most critical period of overtaking, and the fierce competition has begun.
