Chapter 420 Is Oda Shingo Out of Fashion?
"Xinwu, you've gone out of your way. You should consider marrying a wife and living in seclusion in the countryside."
Early in the morning, Todo Koucho said this to Oda Shingo.
She pulled out a data table of online public opinion, which showed that the popularity of comments on Oda Shingo's new manga was less than a quarter of that of previous works.
"Don't worry, marrying a wife is none of your business..." Oda Shingo was about to retort, but he sensed murderous intent.
Todo Xiangcheng slowly turned his head, his eyes as wide as bells: "What do you want to say?"
"No, I didn't say anything." Oda Shingo decided to remain silent.
The dawn here is quiet.
Good guy, I have to be threatened by a woman, but since she can eat two pots of steamed buns in one meal, I might as well forgive her. After all, it’s not easy for people to carry two big steamed buns every day, right? Oda Shingo comforted himself.
Fortunately, Yukaku Namikaze came over in time and gently comforted Oda Shingo: "My hometown is in the countryside, with beautiful scenery and a remote location. It is a good place to retreat."
"It can be used as a vacation place." Oda Shingo declined politely.
"It's okay if we don't stay there for a long time." Namikaze Yukaku nodded and walked away.
Hey, hey, where do you stand? Oda Shingo was ashamed.
"Oh..." Yuko Mikami lazily walked by.
The pajamas on her body were so loose that Oda Shingo could tell that she was not wearing anything underneath without even paying attention.
Forget it, there’s nothing to see anyway. Oda Shingo pretended that he didn't see anything and went to have breakfast.
Indeed, as the public opinion collected by Todo Kouchi seems to have been forgotten, Oda Shingo's new manga is not very popular.
On the other hand, some editors in Qunying Club, which was the enemy, found it strange.
"Why is there no speculation about the popularity of Oda Shingo's new manga?" an editor asked cautiously.
"I also noticed it. Is it because the name of the comic has not been disclosed?"
"It's possible, but Springfield Bookstore officially launched a guessing contest to let comic fans guess what type of comic it is, but there were only a few responses, with only more than 8,000 votes."
"Is it possible that Oda Shingo is no longer popular? Haha, if that's the case, I'm afraid the former president will burst into tears."
"Keep your voice down! Don't cause trouble! Although I also want to see the embarrassment of the former president, it might be interesting not to wait until dawn."
It was indeed too quiet for a few days.
Everyone at Springfield Bookstore was a little panicked.
Saburo Mikami asked Oda Shingo for his opinion on whether to release some preview images. At least the name of the manga should be disclosed, right?
Oda Shingo said it was not necessary: "After all, it is serialized on the website of the Agency for Cultural Affairs first, so it is normal for us to be slower. We want the Agency to get the maximum benefit, and we don't expect this comic to make money."
Oda Shingo has a very open mind.
I have already retweeted it a lot, and this comic was only given as a gift to the Agency for Cultural Affairs in exchange for political benefits, so it doesn’t matter whether it shows profitability in the comic market.
What's more, whether it's a mule or a horse, you won't know the result until you pull it out and run around.
"It's up to you." Saburo Mikami could only express that he had no objection, and specifically informed the president Sadako Haruta about this.
After Oda Shingo put down the phone, Namikaze Yukaku took the initiative and asked: "Shingo, this work is rarely discussed, is it okay?"
“Sometimes it’s good to give comic fans a little surprise.”
Oda Shingo thought about the treatment of "Work Cell BLACK" in another world.
It can't be said to be a big hit, but it is definitely an excellent work and has not been lost among many works.
Shingo Oda didn't take the reaction of manga fans seriously at all.
It's a good thing to be trusted by comic fans. I should do better and make the comics more perfect.
As the cultural export ambassador of another world, well, it can be understood that he has to do more than just copy the machine. The key is to make the good works of the other world appear in this world in a more perfect way.
Therefore, he allowed his female assistants to play freely and even re-create some small plots with their own understanding.
Fujido Xiangcheng had previously made some changes that he considered very reasonable in "God's Knowledge".
A comic work cannot be perfect, and when an excellent work is serialized and delayed due to various reasons, the author may have plot or painting breakdowns.
Oda Shingo hopes that when the world is reshaped, mistakes can be corrected and advantages enhanced, so that masterpieces can be brought into full play.
The preparations for the creation of new works are proceeding smoothly and nervously.
Soon, the Agency for Cultural Affairs officially released the comic pre-serial announcement.
[Oda Shingo’s new comic "Working Cell BLACK" will be serialized on this site in priority starting from Sunday! 】
Priority serialization means that only this website will have the latest serialization progress within a period of time. According to the custom of the comics industry, comic magazines will delay publication for more than a week.
Many comic websites reprinted the news, and comic fans quickly learned about it.
"The previous news is indeed true. Was the new comic originally called "Working Cell BLACK"?"
"Oh! Oda-sensei is cooperating with the Agency for Cultural Affairs again!"
"Teacher Oda has taken another step towards becoming the godfather of the nation!"
""Cells at Work" is really good! Does the BLACK version mean a parallel world?"
"Hey? What is BLACK? Does it mean that red blood cells and white blood cells live together after marriage?"
"The above! Don't use real-life jokes in comics!"
The discussions among comic fans have finally heated up.
However, compared with the previous verbal battles with the two great gods Arakawa and Kurokawa, it is still far from it. After all, everyone is just a bystander. If the quarrel is fierce, the heat will naturally soar.
Some people from the Labor Standards Bureau, the target of the Cultural Affairs Bureau this time, have also noticed Oda Shingo's new work.
The Cultural Affairs Bureau wants to fight back against our soft articles?
Don't be funny! How much trouble can a comic artist stir up?
Are you still thinking of the same trick to earn performance? Hahaha, we just need to continue to let people publish soft articles, and say that your comic education is just playing house, and you will have no way to defend yourself!
The bigwigs of the Labor Standards Bureau sat in their offices ready to laugh at the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and even prepared to arrange for people to write some more soft articles.
Soon, it was the day for the official website to release new comics.
"Gentlemen! The time to test us is here again!" The head of the network technology section of the Cultural Affairs Bureau issued a battle cry.
The experience of too many fans crashing the website last time left a deep impression on them.
But a technician whispered: "It seems that there is no enthusiasm this time. I am afraid that there will not be many fans coming?"
Soon, it was 11 o'clock on Sunday morning. This is always the golden time for the official to release content during the day.
The page of "Cells at Work! Black" was posted on the website of the Ministry of Culture.
But some technicians began to wipe their sweat. Because the number of online users has increased rapidly since a few minutes ago.
"Ulla————" The fans crashed the website again!
