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

Chapter 605: Times have changed, Rukawa Kaede is no longer popular?

Despite the "curse" believed in by the editors of Qunyingshe, the popularity of "Slam Dunk" continues to rise steadily.

After this issue of the Agency for Cultural Affairs was published, everyone thought that Oda Shingo's new work was a pretty good comedy manga...

Therefore, many comic critics who had good intentions towards Oda Shingo were temporarily speechless.

It's a bit hard to describe how to praise "Slam Dunk", which is promoted as a sports comic.

However, a well-known comic critic made a sarcastic comment:

[Slam Dunk is a comedy comic. Has anyone who has read it laughed? At least I did, and I laughed happily.]
[Sorry, I'm not saying that Mr. Oda Shingo's performance was not good enough. This work is still excellent. The website of the Ministry of Culture even became congested and stuck again.]
[But Slam Dunk doesn’t really seem to have much to do with basketball. The protagonist is likable and the things he does are funny, that’s all.]
[Objectively speaking, there are indeed a lot of basketball plots in it, but they are not very relevant, right? I have posted five chapters in a row, and the game has not even started yet!]
[Do you think that Mr. Oda Shingo has a lot of updates? Is this a great thing? But I have to stubbornly shout: He is just watering down the plot! He is deceiving readers with funny plots! He is defrauding the Ministry of Culture for support! ]
After reading his comments, many comic fans were stunned and didn't know how to judge.

It seems to make sense, but it's not right.

The comics are obviously very good, but why does he make it seem like Mr. Oda is guilty of a heinous crime?
However, Yahoo's comics list did not lie. "Slam Dunk" ranked second on the sports comics list and first on the funny comics list!

This simply confirms what the comic critic said before.

"Hey? What's wrong with you guys? Why don't you vote for Oda-sensei in the sports manga ranking?"

"We never go to the sports section!"

"Yeah, yeah, it's been so long since I last went there that I'm too lazy to vote."

"It seems that the current number one in the sports comics list is the old comic "Tennis King" which has been serialized for three years. It has a lot of loyal readers. Is this the power of fans?"

"I've read the manga Tennis King. It's a manga about murders involving tennis balls. The tennis balls in it are not used in games, but have become murder weapons."

"Yeah, yeah, now that you mentioned it I remembered. The tennis player in there hits a ball that can blow a house apart!"

"That's nothing. I remember when we played against the German team, the other players were so good!"

Compared to this tennis manga that has gradually been demonized and over-the-top, Oda Shingo's fans are still quite competitive. When some people began to speak up for Oda, the list quickly changed.

The distance between "Slam Dunk" and the first place quickly narrowed, and it exceeded the number of votes on the second day and took the first place in the sports list.

There was a cry of grief in the sports comics circle.

"The wolf is coming——"

"I told you the big devil is coming!"

"Damn it! They really stole our territory!"

"Are our sports comics so vulnerable? I'm in tears!"

They never considered why their already weird comics couldn't compare with other people's works.

When Oda Shingo saw this kind of public opinion, he just smiled and snorted softly:
"Vulnerable."

The sports comics that are being serialized nowadays are really not at the same level as "Slam Dunk".

Even the "Football Fantasy" and "Tennis Fans" from another world all had the problem of making up stories just to create plots.

If the two works were only about the school chapters, they would be considered masterpieces in the eyes of most comic fans. But in order to continue the series, or in other words, to make money, the authors would use all kinds of imagination to their heart's content.

Even if I don't have any ideas, I'll still pick up bricks and throw them out...

Therefore, in the eyes of Shingo Oda, Mr. Inoue, who was able to give "Slam Dunk" a proper ending, is simply a god-like existence.

He even had a falling out with his editor over the ending of this work and stubbornly refused to continue serializing it to make money, so he was shelved for a while.

Shingo Oda admires such a role model predecessor.

If I didn't have the support of Springfield Bookstore, or the help of Mrs. Yukino, if I was hidden by Qun Ying She before I became famous, although I would be able to come out sooner or later, it would be very uncomfortable for a while. "What's wrong?" Namikaze Yuzuru noticed that Oda Shingo was distracted and came over to ask with concern.

"Ah, I wonder if comic fans will be surprised to see the direction of Slam Dunk in the later stages."

"I'm actually surprised too." Namikaze Yuzuru smiled shyly, "In the original script outline, I didn't see Sakuragi being so cute and funny."

Oda Shingo was stunned: "Is it cute?"

"Yeah, isn't Sakuragi cute?" Namikaze Youhe was stunned.

Oda Shingo recalled the time when he watched Slam Dunk: "You girls should like Rukawa Kaede more, right?"

"Huh? No." Namikaze Youhe said seriously.

If it was Fujido Kaoru or Mikami Yuko, Oda Shingo might still suspect that it was a fraud, but Namikaze Yukaku would never do that. If she said she didn't like it, then it must be true.

"I also think Sakuragi is more fun, and he will definitely be a good husband, right?" Fujido Kaoru actually guessed this.

Hello? No way? Oda Shingo was surprised.

Yuko Mikami actually agreed, "Ryukawa Kaede is just a little more handsome, but he may not be that good of a husband."

Her evaluation actually made Namikaze Yuzuru and Fujido Kaoru nod in agreement.

Oda Shingo looked at them in surprise.

Are the views on women thirty years ago so different from those today? Is the world changing too fast, or are the girls selected by the system all biased in their thinking?
Or maybe it's the changing times, making handsome men less of a priority? Women are more looking for stable, reliable, and devoted men?
"Let me take a look at the popularity list." Oda Shingo quickly flipped through the public opinion reports and soon found the data that Reiko's assistant had found.

Yahoo Comics' male character rankings, which only show the voting results of female netizens, are Sakuragi Hanamichi sixth and Rukawa Kaede ninth.

No way?! Rukawa Kaede is really ranked behind Sakuragi Hanamichi? Oda Shingo was surprised.

According to the popularity ratings of comics 30 years ago, Rukawa and Sendoh have always been far ahead in popularity.

What surprised him even more was that Murasakibara was actually ranked tenth!
That four-eyed guy!

"Since when did Murasakibara become on the list?!" Oda Nobuo couldn't help but shout out.

The three girls including Namikaze Youhe were surprised and said almost in unison: "Huh? Why not?"

"..." Oda Shingo scratched his head. When could a supporting role rise to the top ten of the rankings?
Namikaze Youzuru nodded and said seriously: "I like Murasakibara too. I think they are a good match."

Fujido Kaoru rolled her eyes at Oda Shingo and said, "You're surprised by what you've seen."

Yuko Mikami raised her glasses and said, "Although he is a little handsome, he is calm, has ideals and ambitions, and can move forward with heavy burdens."

Oda Shingo was full of questions at first, but gradually he felt relieved.

It is probably because Japanese women's increasingly pragmatic approach to finding a partner has led to a change in their preferences. After all, the difference between the times is too great.

Fujido Kaoru even curled her lips and said, "Shingo, if you wear thick myopic glasses, will you also be stupid?"

However, during dinner, Yuko Mikami took the time to whisper in his ear: "Kumure, is this a character deliberately created by Mr. Oda?"

Oda Nobuo remained silent.

Before going to bed, Oda Shingo met Namikaze Yukaku in the corridor on the second floor.

"I like the character of Murasakibara, mainly because..." Namikaze Yuzuru gently curled her hair with her delicate fingers, lowered her head and whispered to Oda Shingo: "He looks a lot like you..."

Without saying a word, Oda Shingo immediately used this month's in-depth communication indicator!
