My girlfriend is Saiki Kusunoki

Since that oil painting review, more and more of my information has been exposed online.

The 16-year-old prodigy recently lost his parents and only has a mortgage that still has 30 years left to pay off and a younger sister who is still in junior high school.

The father was an archaeologist, and the mother was a literary author. Although they weren't exactly high-income earners, they were still considered a middle-class family. But a plane crash destroyed the entire family.

She had contemplated suicide many times, but with the help of her childhood friend, she became a cartoonist and rose to fame overnight.

Not only did he become a hot new manga artist at JUMP, but he also won an award in a national oil painting competition, starting a life like that of a light novel protagonist.

Some people admire straight people's rags-to-riches stories and find them incredibly inspiring.

Some people think that the relationship between Naoto and Nanako is truly enviable.

But no matter what, Naoto still became popular.

More people got to know him because of this and became his fans.

However, Naoto was puzzled as to who could know so much about him. After all, this kind of information is not so easy to collect unless you specifically study Naoto.

Who exactly is helping him spread his fame?

At that moment, Naoto inexplicably thought of a person named Sayama.

"Could it be him?"

........................

Time passed quickly.

Today will surely make the entire month of June extraordinary.

"Hurry up! Today is the release date of Naoto's 'Bloodline' manga!"

"Akito, slow down! I really can't hold on any longer!"

As soon as Akito and the top school let out, the two of them sped off on their bicycles toward the bookstore.

The Bloodline manga volume was supposed to have been released this morning.

However, because both Akito and Moritaka were really looking forward to this day, they couldn't sleep last night, and this morning they almost missed buying the manga and were even late.

That's why they're rushing to the bookstore now, hoping to snag a single volume of the vampire novel.

When the two arrived at the bookstore, they were completely dumbfounded.

Even though it was already afternoon dismissal time, the bookstore was still packed with people.

Many of them were holding a vampire book in their hands, their faces glowing, as if they had snatched something incredible.

"Oh no, is it sold out here too?! Kusuo! I've already been to three bookstores today!"

Just as the two were shocked by the sheer scale of this sale, a young man next to them, who looked much more seriously injured than them, was staring at the long queue ahead with a troubled expression.

It wasn't just students from the surrounding schools; many young people who had already started working were also gathered here.

These people have all come for the sake of the straight vampires.

Seeing this, Akito and Moritaka didn't hesitate and quickly joined the team.

As Naoto's chosen strongest rival (lol) and a devoted fan, how could he not snatch a piece of his older brother's manga?

The bookstore owner must be the happiest person to see the queue that still seems endless.

Since this morning, the queue has not decreased at all.

Even though his voice was hoarse from shouting, people kept pouring into the bookstore.

Looking at the meager remaining stock, the bookstore owner felt like his heart was bleeding.

ONE teacher, couldn't you print more?! This amount is far from enough!!!

"Hey Akito, how much do you think Naoto will make this time? Will he break the record for single-volume sales?"

Although both Moritaka and Akito are the kind of people who draw manga for their dreams and interests, seeing the current situation still makes them think about these things.

Based on a price of 400 yuan per volume, Naoto could earn about 40 yuan per volume.

Although it may not seem like much money, it adds up to a considerable sum over time.

Moritaka and Akito looked at the crazy man in front of them, who seemed to be having a year-end clearance sale, and couldn't help but start to worry.

Will the two of them actually be able to snatch this comic this time?

You could say these two are really lucky.

While the two were queuing, another truck loaded with books pulled up. After queuing for almost half an hour, the two finally managed to snag a single volume of "The Bloodline".

Looking at Lilo Ai on the cover and the endless line of soldiers.

The two of them couldn't help but wonder just how terrifying the sales of this single volume had become.

Of course, they weren't the only ones who wanted to know the result.

The JUMP editorial department has been extremely busy since morning.

The editorial department was bombarded with calls from printing plants everywhere.

The last time JUMP experienced such a grand occasion was before.

Well, only God knows exactly how long ago that was.

At this moment, the editor-in-chief still maintained a commanding posture, but in his heart he was thinking: ONE, how many surprises are you going to give me?

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Amazing Results

Inside the JUMP editorial office——

"Hey, how many copies of 'Bloodline' have been sold? The preliminary statistics should be out by now, right?"

At this moment, one of the editors whispered to the other.

"I don't know, I have no idea. The original print run of 100,000 copies has already sold out, and the reprint of 50,000 copies is almost half sold out. But it's still not enough. Haven't you seen that Editor Qi Mu is still calling to request a reprint?"

Upon hearing this, the other editor was somewhat stunned.

One hundred thousand copies—even if only one person buys one copy, that would still mean one hundred thousand people buying it.

Although this statement is not very reliable, since many fans usually buy more than two copies.

But this data is a bit too outrageous.

In just one day, more than 100,000 copies were sold.

How many would there be in a week?

Just think about that terrifying number. How many years has it been since JUMP experienced something like this? And this is only the first volume.

If Naoto Yamashita can maintain the quality, the number of subsequent volumes sold will likely only increase, and it will be difficult for it to decrease.

Just as the two editors were still in surprise, a hoarse voice came from behind them explaining: "The number of copies of 'The Bloodline' to be reprinted has been determined. At least another 200,000 copies will be needed for the next reprint."

"Editor-in-chief?!"

The editors turned around and found that standing behind them was Sasaki, an editor with a serious and unsmiling expression.

These past few days, the editor-in-chief has been busy for who knows how long to promote the release of "Bloodline" and this is the result we have today.

In fact, the popularity of Straight People on the Internet is largely due to the interference of JUMP.

Why exactly do they do this?

Perhaps they themselves were also deeply moved by the stories of straight people.

The brother, who raised his sister alone without parents, deserves all the success he has achieved.

Especially at this moment, Qi Mu's father, who was in charge of this vampire sale, was as happy as a 200-pound child.

Looking at the data on the table, Qi Mu's father felt as if his own child had achieved such a feat.

The initial plan was to sell 100,000 copies, but later increased it by 50,000 copies. This was all thanks to Qi Mu's father's persistence. He believed that Naoto's abilities were more than that, and that a mere 100,000 copies would definitely sell out.

During this period, Qi Mu's father has been under immense pressure, no less than that of the editor-in-chief.

Moreover, to be fair, we haven't seen a writer like Naoto in a long time.

Since Naoto was able to agree to the editor-in-chief's request last time, the editor-in-chief and others reciprocated. The combined effect of these various factors was naturally considerable.

Meanwhile, Naoto, having received the news, slowly put his phone down as well.

Now, he can finally relax and get some rest.

He was overjoyed when he learned that his comic had sold over 100,000 copies in a single day.

Based on a profit of forty yuan per book, he had already earned four million yuan in one day. Converted to Chinese currency, that's nearly two hundred thousand yuan.

Even though there are taxes to pay later, it's still a considerable sum for Naoto. It seems that selling collected volumes is indeed the main source of income for manga artists.

Thinking of this, Naoto couldn't help but smile again.

Four million yuan! No matter what, I can proudly say that I am now a bestselling author.

Moreover, this is not just a matter of money.

It's like your work being recognized by others; it's a fulfilling and satisfying feeling.

Moreover, isn't it the right mindset for ordinary people to want to show off their achievements to others?

Naoto always considered himself just an ordinary person. He had no lofty ambitions; he was content as long as he was happy.

However, after a moment of excitement, Naoto calmed down.

Although it seems impressive to earn 100,000 a day.

But Naoto knows that in the original timeline, there were many more incredibly talented people.

For example, Jujutsu Kaisen sold over 90 million copies in six months.

What a terrifying number! Naoto people are still far from reaching this level.

And this figure only represents sales in the first half of that year; it wasn't the highest in history.

I still have a long way to go to become such a strong person.

Just then, Naoto began to wonder if it was possible for him to make it onto the public trust list.

The Oricon chart, also known as the Oricon chart, is generally called the O chart.
