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

Chapter 604: Basketball? It’s really a basketball sports comic!

On various comic forums, comic fans are communicating with each other, and from time to time there are hand-typed laughter emoticons left on the page.

"A man who has been single since birth and has been heartbroken 50 times, meets his own Haru Sakura. Is this a romance manga or a sports manga?"

"Haha, I think Mr. Oda's new work is a comedy manga."

"Sakuragi often has expressions, especially when he looks silly, it's really funny."

“It’s still free, but I think I’d be willing to subscribe to this comic online.”

"You guys are so slow, I can already see that basketball is really coming out from behind."

"Huh? There's really serious basketball content?"

Sure enough, the following plot had more changes.

While the comedic elements are maintained, more and more protagonist characters appear.

In order to grab the ball from Akagi, Sakuragi was willing to fall heavily to the ground to hold the basketball, and even with a nosebleed, he was still proud: "Hey, I got it."

Immediately afterwards, Sakuragi snatched the basketball from the air and dunked the ball into the basket, overpowering Akagi!

Someone in the forum quickly typed:

"It's lit. It's really lit."

"I think the protagonist is very likable. At least I like watching him."

"Like watching him make a fool of himself?"

"I really want to see him kill it on the sports field."

But Sakuragi Hanamichi's basketball journey was not so smooth.

After all, he is a novice. During the club training, Sakuragi Hanamichi made a lot of jokes. Even his dunk landed on Akagi's head...

While watching the comics, fans continue to express their opinions in various social circles or forums.

"Hahaha! It seems this comic is still a comedy!"

"This is the first time I've seen a sports comic that's this funny."

A large number of comments continued to appear everywhere, prompting more comic fans to join the online viewing ranks.

The official website of the Ministry of Culture, which used to be relatively smooth, has become congested and stuck again.

Although they had been prepared for the appeal of Shingo Oda's comics, the Agency for Cultural Affairs' Network Operations Department was still dumbfounded.

"What's going on? We've added so many lines and connected to the supporting servers, why is there still lag?!"

"Minister, there are too many people! The number of concurrent connections has exceeded 8!"

This means that the number of online users is over 10! It has reached the peak number during the serialization of Cells at Work!

"Oh my god, they love reading a sports comic so much?"

The website operator of the Ministry of Culture was in disbelief.

"Good! It's easier for us to write the copy!" The publicity department applauded.

As an official propaganda agency, no matter how good or bad the comic series is, they can only write about it from a positive perspective.

But the online debut was a success, and there is no better report to write than this one, and it is also easier to write well.

The serials of the cartoonists invited in the past few years on the website of the Ministry of Culture can only be described as pitiful. It is hard to even mention the number of online users, and the propaganda department can only pull out their hair and try to find words to help brag.

There was even an employee in the publicity department who sincerely said, "Maybe we should also erect a statue to worship Mr. Oda."

Comic fans continue to follow the comic plot.

Shingo Oda streamlined the original work and deleted some unimportant content as appropriate to make the plot more coherent and natural, with a tight rhythm and without any sense of drag in the serialization.

Sakuragi Hanamichi worked hard in the basketball team, but encountered many difficulties. He even had to practice boring basic skills every day and was unable to play in the game to his heart's content.

At this time, Qingtian from the Judo Club took advantage of the situation and tried to steal the love and win over Sakuragi Hanamichi to join his club. He even took out Haruko's photo to seduce her into agreeing.

This made Akagi and Murasakibara, who were watching secretly, worried, thinking that Sakuragi would really betray them.

However, Sakuragi still rejected the invitation from the Judo Club.

When Qingtian asked the reason, Sakuragi turned around and answered handsomely:
“Because I’m a basketball player.”

Such an answer stunned the gorilla and four eyes.

Although he didn't say much, Akagi Takenori, who had been betting on his last year of dominating the national team, became even more motivated and went back to train all the members of the basketball team. Then, the plot reached the friendly match stage.

Coach Anzai announced the opponent for the next friendly match: Ryonan High School, one of the top four high schools in the county.

The series ends here, chapter five.

"Hey? Hey? Hey? Is that all?"

"No way? Is the web version also so unacceptable?"

"What's down there? I'm just asking, what's down there?!"

"When will the next issue be released? I'll be standing naked in the snow on Mount Fuji 360 degrees, please update!"

Fans of the comic left comments in the comment section, expressing their eagerness to read on. The number of comments increased rapidly, and the words urging for more updates were flying everywhere like snowflakes.

Not to mention the people from the Ministry of Culture and Springfield Books, even the editors from Qun Ying Publishing House who were watching the fun were dumbfounded.

"No way? This is only the first serialization."

“But this comic is really strong!”

"I never thought that Oda Shingo could draw sports comics like this!"

"It starts with humor and catches the readers' attention, and then subtly injects the context of basketball into the readers' interests."

"Amazing! You are worthy of being the top newcomer in the comics industry today!"

At this time, the editor-in-chief said solemnly: "The word 'new' in your words can be completely removed..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the office of Qun Ying She fell into silence.

The temporary assistant studio still seems to have quarrels from time to time. The enemy to be targeted, Oda Shingo, has already started writing a new manga.

Don’t even think about winning, the other party no longer considers you as an opponent!

The editor leaned weakly against the back of his chair. "It seems that there is no limit to Oda Shingo's comic creation. The only bottleneck to be broken is his own body!"

The editors were speechless, and a feeling of despair spread throughout the studio.

How can we defeat such an opponent?

"No, there is still hope." The director of this magazine department stood up at this time.

The eyes of more than a dozen editors from Qun Ying Society were focused on him.

He pointed to the computer screen on the desk in front of the editor-in-chief and said, "Oda Shingo is very good at battle scenes and daily scenes, which has been fully demonstrated in his previous works. However, the storyboards for sports comics are completely different!"

"...Yes!" The editor was stunned at first, but soon stood up as if he had thought of something. "The storyboards of daily comics show close-ups of characters, expressing their personalities and plot conflicts. The battle scenes in comics emphasize the results. Dragon Ball is a typical example!"

The head of this magazine nodded vigorously: "That's right! There have been no outstanding sports comics in the past ten years. Oda Shingo has never seen a dynamic view of sports comics!"

"The storyboards in sports comics show the dynamics of the process! It's impossible for an inexperienced novice to achieve this!" Many veteran editors understood and said excitedly: "Oda Shingo is too young, he doesn't understand the characteristics of sports comics at all, and now he certainly can't get guidance from others!"

“Blind men and an elephant!”

"He's too young!"

"If you are young and successful, you will not be willing to accept other people's opinions."

"Yes! With his current status, no one can give him any advice, and he can't get any guidance or help!"

"Great! Oda Shingo will definitely fall harder because he climbed too high!"

"Hahaha! The plot of the next game will be revealed, let's wait for the jokes!"

They clenched their fists as they spoke each word, as if announcing the impending death sentence for their enemies.

"Oda Shingo!"

"It must be a bad painting!"

"Dynamic storyboards for sports comics!"

Ah autumn—ah autumn—ah autumn—Oda Nobuo suddenly sneezed several times.

Who is whispering about me? Oda Shingo rubbed his nose.
