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

Chapter 650 The Strange Phenomenon of Sales of Yuri

Oda Shingo's new house has been renovated, and he also received an inexplicable reward from the system.

Unfortunately, the system did not respond to him, and Oda Shingo immediately received a message from Mikami Saburo, mistakenly thinking that it was a reward from the system for excellent work.

Someone once said that men who focus on their careers are stupid in love. He didn't think about it in some ways.

Although I didn’t get the award, the system is pretty good. I actually got the reward truthfully, and I didn’t have to be forced to go to the scene to show my support for the disgusting Cartoonists Association.

With the new system bonus, the drawing speed has been improved again. The speed that was originally slowed down by the computer drawing dot paper is almost negligible.

"I admire myself." After finishing the new draft, Oda Shingo couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

The drawing of "Saint Seiya" went smoothly, and after Oda Shingo added points to his drawing skills, it had reached a level that surpassed CLAMP.

After all, the times are progressing, and the style of the original work has a strong sense of the last century. Oda Shingo integrated modern painting techniques into it, trying to fit the current aesthetics.

But classics are classics. The original standard was very high, and the effect became better after being enhanced.

Oda Shingo and his three female assistants worked so hard, concentrating on drawing comics, that they didn't even bother to read the market report sent by Mikami Saburo.

He has confidence in "Sacred Legend" and believes that its power will be evident in at most five issues.

However, he underestimated the speed of market feedback.

In the third season, when King Garuda was forced to take action because Indra killed his sister, the male comic fans were completely fascinated by this girl.

"Ahhhhh, Emperor Shitian, I will fight you!"

"Indra, you beast, how dare you lay your hands on such a lovely girl like Kalavinka?!"

"King Garuda is so pitiful! How can we let him be so arrogant?!"

"The Gandharva King is so kind that he even played the piano for her to help her relieve her mood."

"I like the Gandharva King, his long black hair, especially his super long hair."

"King Garuda, my wife."

"Everyone likes your wife."

"The one upstairs is going too far. I still recognize the one upstairs as my sister-in-law. That's why the one upstairs and I are brothers."

Soon, people began to spontaneously post a large number of close-ups of King Garuda and King Gandharva on major comic forums.

"Which comic is this from?"

"It's beautiful! Who drew it?"

"It can't really be Oda-sensei's, right?"

Immediately, a large number of comic fans began to spontaneously look for the source of the comics, which was more effective than spontaneous promotion by fellow cartoonists.

If someone recommends you to read a certain comic, many people will not like it psychologically and will not actually read it.

But if I see a comic book insert and I like it, I will actually read it. And many comic book fans are obsessed with appearance or character preferences. It is very common to follow an entire comic book just for the image of a character.

Soon, comic critics also began to objectively evaluate this comic.

【Gorgeous, luxurious, and beautiful in line with people's hearts. 】

[Personality, publicity, and a dreamy atmosphere. ]

【The extensive use of dot paper creates a fantasy heavenly scene. 】

[Especially when King Garuda misses his sister, the large amount of dot paper creates a picture that looks like broken glass, which is like art! ]

【Sorry, I used the wrong word.】

【It’s art! 】

[This is a more beautiful picture than the art paintings I saw in the art museum! ]

[After reading "Saint Seiya", I am more convinced that Oda Nobuo is a god. He is a god! God without a doubt! ]

But soon a well-known comic critic objected.

If it was a male comic in the past, no one would dare to come out. But this time it is a female comic, so it is more confident. [Oda Shingo's previous work "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" was written in a very simple style, highlighting the important characteristics of the plot.]

[But now the "Saints" pays special attention to the picture, the painting style is extremely gorgeous, I even suspect that he used 108 techniques on the dot paper. ]

[But do you understand? This is to cover up the shortcomings of the plot! "Saints" is simply a clichéd revenge drama! ]

But Oda Shingo's number one fan, comic critic Hanbei, immediately expressed his opinion.

[The previous manga's simple style changes to this one's extravagance, and the changes are arbitrary. It's not that Oda Shingo can't control the plot. 】

[On the contrary, in previous comics, he focused on controlling the plot, after all, it was written by the cartoonist Reiko. But this one is completely under control, which just shows how skilled Oda Shingo is in his style. ]

[Have you noticed? The style of each of Oda Shingo's comics is completely different. 】

[How many cartoonists have a style that people can recognize at a glance, but his is not one of them. Without mentioning his name, who would have thought that he drew "Saint Legend"? ]

[This is what God can do! Only God can manipulate the painting style so skillfully. ]

When he said this, a large number of comic fans immediately became alert.

"Hey, you're right! There is indeed no similarity in the painting style of Mr. Oda Shingo."

"From One Punch Man to Spy Kids, Cells at Work! and Uncle in Another World, there is no unified style among the many comics."

"It's not a question of uniformity, but that he can change the style of painting according to the needs of the comics!"

"Yes, yes. The work "Saints of the Underworld" is related to mythology, so it pays attention to the aesthetic atmosphere and the sense of building the world. I think it is very appropriate."

"I want to collect the "Sacred Legend", it is so beautiful!"

The editors of the arch-rival Qun Ying She looked at the comments on the Internet with resentment.

"Damn it! Why is Oda Shingo's "Saint Legend" being praised again?"

The editor-in-chief was very shrewd. In order to boost morale, he thought carefully and said slowly: "Don't worry, after all, Yuri is a newly released magazine. It doesn't have any marketing methods or consumer inertia. Even if the comics are popular, it will only be a temporary excitement and will soon decline. If you don't believe me, let's look at the sales..."

A dozen editors watched as their boss retrieved the market data.

"Sure enough! The boss is right!"

"Haha, the sales of Yuri are only about 30!"

"It's too low, not even at the mainstream level."

"Yes, it's true. Half a month has passed since the first issue, and the sales volume is only over 30. It's not good enough because of the lack of stamina."

This data is a real-time statistics of market sales, and they began to celebrate happily.

The editor even held his chin high, as if he had done something infinitely remarkable: "So, 'Yuri' is like a seal, sealing the big devil in a remote place!"

"Hahaha! What the boss said is very good!"

The editors cheered and some even applauded.

But at this time, a young editor suddenly said: "Hey? Why is the second-hand price of Yuri as high as 1000 yuan in the second-hand goods market?!"

"Ok?"

"Why? A second-hand one would be so expensive?"

The editors leaned over curiously.

Sure enough, the webpage showed seven or eight copies of "Yuri" for sale, with the starting price being 1000 yen.

You still need to bid more, but when the editor clicked on it, the auction price had already risen to 1200 yen and had not stopped yet.

"Something's wrong..." The editor-in-chief frowned.

The price of "Jump" published by Qun-Eisai is 250 yen, and the price of "Champion" published by Springfield Bookstore is similar, which is very low.

In the consumption habits of many Japanese, comprehensive comic magazines are similar to newspapers, cheap and in large quantities, in order to gain market share, and make money mainly from advertisements and related peripherals. However, the quality of paper and printing is absolutely difficult to maintain, so second-hand comic magazines are generally worthless.

Even if "Yuri" spent money on initial printing in order to attract readers, it wouldn't be this expensive!
The editors frowned as they looked at the market feedback and began to wonder why such a strange phenomenon occurred in the comic magazine serialized by Shingo Oda?
