Chapter 435 Welcome in, Batgirl
After the inside story that Rumiko Kurokawa would release a new manga was revealed, netizens were seriously skeptical at first.
"How is that possible! Are Oda-sensei and Kurokawa-sensei considered rivals? At least they are competitors. How can they possibly collaborate on comics together?"

"Kurokawa-sensei already has two comics being serialized, and she never fails to finish them. How can she find the time to continue drawing a third one?"
"You're right, and I've never seen it published directly as a single book without serialization!"
"The ones upstairs are rare and strange. In the last century, well-known cartoonists often published stand-alone comics directly. And comics were first published in stand-alone form, and serialization came later."
There are indeed many unreasonable things in this news. For example, why Oda Shingo cooperated with Kurokawa is the biggest doubt.
They are not short of money at all, okay? Why help your competitors with scripts? The most famous thing about a comic is the artist, not the script.
No one could have imagined the reason why Oda Shingo would do this. He just foresaw the possibility of "Inuyasha" and therefore took the first step to kill this possibility.
Even Rumiko Kurokawa didn't understand why he would do this. But she is a smart person. Even if she cannot get the answer, it does not affect her creation.
And will Oda Shingo allow Guneisha to publish a single volume? And why is it that the single volume is directly released and not serialized?
Discussions about this gradually gathered opinions, and everyone regarded it as just a rumor.
But a Yahoo Comics interview with Rumiko Kurokawa solidified this matter.
After chatting about some thoughts and behind-the-scenes footage of the creation of "Ranma 1/2", the interviewer asked about the rumors about Rumiko Kurokawa and Shingo Oda collaborating on a new book.
"Yes, I have indeed cooperated with Oda Shingo."
'oh? So the previous revelations were not rumors? ’
"It's not a rumor, it's a leak."
Although it is not a recording, the interview transcript comes from Yahoo Comics, a regular comics comprehensive website, and the writer is the category editor-in-chief, so there is no doubt about its credibility.
Comic fans immediately cheered!
"Wow! Kurokawa-sensei really cooperated with Oda-sensei!"
"I can't wait to read this comic! It's absolutely top-notch!"
"Looking forward to it! Super looking forward to it! More looking forward to it than my cat giving birth to kittens!"
"The former saint in the industry and the devil are collaborating. This is a match made in heaven!"
"Upstairs, this word doesn't just mean cooperation, it also means marriage!"
But soon a comic critic from the comics industry spoke up and pointed out the key point:
[It is true that Rumiko Kurokawa and Shingo Oda are collaborating, so will the single book really be published by Guneisha? If true, that means so much! 】
[Is it possible for Oda Shingo to return to the Group of Heroes? 】
[Guneisha extends an olive branch to Oda Shingo! Qunyingshe may become the biggest pornographic institution in the new century, and Springfield Bookstore may be bullied! 】
[The new president of Qunyisha must be implementing a new soft recruitment policy towards Oda Shingo! 】
When everyone thought that Qunyingsha was extremely close to signing new comics from the two great masters, a statement that fully proved that infinitely close is just an adjective happened.
"I refuse!" Oda Shingo gave a clear no answer to Kurokawa Rumiko.
He received an inquiry call from Rumiko Kurokawa.
Miss Kurokawa asked him if "Inuyasha" planned to sign a contract with the Group of Heroes Club.
This is a very smart and polite way to ask for advice. After all, the entanglement between Oda Shingo and Gungeisha is well known to the world. Kurokawa had to ask Oda Shingo's attitude personally whether it was due to personal feelings or a cooperative relationship.
"Shingo, what do you mean... you don't want "Inuyasha" to be published by Qunyisha? The terms they gave are much more favorable than Springfield Bookstore. Even I believe that Springfield Bookstore is fully sincere." Rumiko Kurokawa did not It is pointed out that if he signs a contract with Qunyisha, it is possible that Oda Shingo’s new book copyright commission income will be greater.
Smart people don’t need to say too much, it’s more important to show their attitude.
Oda Shingo said slowly into the mobile phone microphone: "This is a matter of position, Miss Kurokawa, I think you are a smart person, I don't need to explain too much."
"Understood, then I will choose Springfield Bookstore."
"Thank you very much. It's a pleasure to cooperate." Oda Shingo hung up the phone.
As soon as he put down his phone, Oda Shingo saw several female assistants around him looking at him.
"It must be nice to give orders to the great master in the comics industry, right?" Todo Kouchi said, her words not without a sour taste.
Why is this guy seducing women all over the world? Even if they are competitors, as long as they are female, how many times will they flirt with each other?
Namikaze Yukaku, however, has a bit of a fangirl's opinion: "What Shingo just said was decisive, he is actually very handsome."
Although she minded that Kurokawa came to contact Shingo more and more frequently, she believed that Shingo would not be obsessed with beauty. After all, nothing happened to the four beauties around him.
Should this be said to be trust or sadness?
What Yuko Mikami said was: "No matter what excessive demands Oda-sensei makes, Kurokawa-sensei will satisfy them, right?"
Mrs. Yukino burst into laughter.
Several people looked at Yuko Mikami together, feeling that this girl's words were really misleading.
"Rumiko Kurokawa sent an email."
It's the first five episodes of "Inuyasha" that have been sent.
I’ve shown the first draft to several manga clubs before, and now I’m asking Shingo Oda for review.
As a script provider, he can make biased comments.
However, Oda Shingo not only focused on the plot, but also sketched and wrote down his own suggestions for improvement on the scanned manuscript.
Relying on his own script alone, the first draft he drew was 90% similar to the original manuscript on Earth. Oda Shingo had to be convinced: Kurokawa Rumiko was really the projection of Takahashi Okami in another world.
After he finished writing the draft, Fujido Kaoshi came over quickly to take it away.
"I'll do it! It's very convenient! Electronic office is very easy now."
She worked tirelessly as a remote electronic material delivery person.
Although this guy looks careless, he is actually very thoughtful. Oda Shingo touched his chin to judge.
Fearing that the two would feel that the communication was not smooth and then sit together, Fujido Kaoshi was so proactive in doing a good job of information network transmission.
After seeing the feedback draft, Kurokawa Rumiko called very happily and agreed with Oda Shingo's suggestions for changes.
The two talked for a long time.
Namikaze Yukaku, Fujido Kaoshi, and Mikami Yuko looked at each other, and they all had a serious sense of crisis.
At night, when Oda Shingo was about to rest, there was a light knock on the glass window.
Oda Shingo looked over in surprise, and saw Namikaze Yukaku hanging upside down outside the window.
"Shin, Shingo, can I come in and talk?"
Hello, Batgirl... Although Oda Shingo hesitated a little, he quickly agreed: "Of course."
