Chapter 452: Keep Improving and Polish the Classics Again!

System? You dog system, come out! Oda Shingo tried to call out in his mind.

Why do I have the skills of a painter, but my ink painting is not as good as that of Namikaze Yukaku? He was quite unconvinced.

But the system ignored him and still pretended to be dead.

I am very embarrassed if you don't help me like this. Oda Shingo knew in his heart that some people are talented in painting.

When Namikaze Yukaku first joined the team, his painting talent was better than his.

Forget it, don't be jealous of others' talents, look more at their diligence. Oda Shingo can only comfort himself like this, at least I am not bad in diligence, right?

Oda Shingo then discussed with Namikaze Yukaku again, exchanged views on the integration of ink and wash into comics, and then ended the ink painting practice.

Namikaze Yukaku was about to pack up the rice paper and other things, but Fujido Kasumi took the initiative to come over.

"Wait, let me try to paint."

She picked up the paintbrush and tried to paint on the paper clumsily.

But she had never touched ink painting before, so it was difficult for her to control it.

When Oda Shingo tested the three girls at the beginning, she showed poor compatibility with ink painting. Oda Shingo chose Namikaze Yukaku as his assistant for this comic, which was indeed a decision made after multiple considerations.

"What's the matter?" Fujido Kacheng stubbornly wanted to control the brush, but always felt that the ink was difficult to control and was sometimes thick and sometimes thin.

She practiced boxing, so naturally she couldn't compare her talent with Namikaze Yukaku's subtle ninjutsu.

No one taught her and she had never touched ink painting. Ink painting was just a noun in her mind. She just watched the two people gesture just now, and now she was completely out of touch with it.

With a click, the pen was broken by her.

Fujido Kacheng was also stubborn. She changed a brush and clumsily dipped it in ink again, pulled a chair, and tried hard to learn at the table.

Oda Shingo had already finished drawing several storyboards. When he looked up to drink water, he found that Fujido Kao was still working hard there.

Three of his pens had broken, and the rice paper on the table was covered with strange strokes.

"There's no ghost in the house, why are you drawing ghostly symbols here?" Oda Shingo came over and checked Fujido Kao's brushwork.

She couldn't even control the basic thickness of her brushwork.

"Well, let me teach you." Oda Shingo reached out to help, twisted Fujido Kao's fingers to adjust the position, then stood behind her, held her hand and taught her with the dragging brush method: "You have wiped the ground of the dojo, right? The dragging brush method is similar."

Fujido Kao blushed a little.

It was the first time that Oda Shingo took the initiative to approach her.

Especially when the two of them were leaning against each other, it seemed that she could feel his breath coming from behind.

Her heartbeat quickened a little, and Fujido Kao woodenly let Oda Shingo, who was standing behind her, pull her hand to move the brush.

"..." Namikaze Yuzuru watched quietly, his lips moved slightly but he didn't say anything.

Yuko Mikami's eyes showed envy.

Oda Shingo taught Fujido Kaoshi for more than ten minutes before he finished the preliminary teaching.

He concentrated a little, standing behind Fujido Kaoshi, and noticed that he could actually see inside her slightly open collar from this position.

Now it was Oda Shingo's turn to have his heartbeat quickened, as if there was blood rushing to his head and blood flowing down his spine.

In the past, Fujido Kaoshi took the initiative to approach her, but letting him see her was far less exciting than this careless glance.

"Hey?" Fujido Kaoshi exclaimed softly.

She felt that Oda Shingo was not only holding a pen with her, but also seemed to have a pen on his body...

Both of them blushed and their hearts beat fast.

"That's about it, it's good to understand. But you don't need to learn too much, it's just a little fun." Oda Shingo quickly responded with a few words and returned to his work desk.

He was thick-skinned and slipped away first, but Fujido Kaoshi stood there for a long time.

It was not right to continue practicing with the pen, and it was embarrassing to return to the seat quickly. I felt a thump in my heart, and it took me a long time to return to normal.

Next, Oda Shingo carefully considered the positioning of "Koga Ninja Scrolls".

The market feedback exceeded expectations. He thought about it carefully and found that there was indeed a great need for development.

The Japanese comics market in 2024 in this world is similar to that on Earth, but it is more miserable and the toilet paper level is more serious. The subject matter of ninja comics has no masterpieces before, and it can even be said that there is no developed comic direction.

Now this comic has gained a lot of attention as soon as it was launched, and even caused a reaction from the social industry, thanks to its good reputation. It is a complete precursor to a big fire.

Then you can consider better strengthening and work hard to create a classic.

Oda Shingo asked Namikaze Yukaku to practice the brushwork of ink painting to make the comics more expressive.

Then there is the polishing of the plot.

The original work of the novel "Koga Ninja Scrolls" on Earth portrayed the heroine Along in a standard way, not very brilliant.

The comic version of Along is a saintly type. It was just right in the 1990s, and it catered to the impact of the improvement of the status of Japanese women.

But in 2024, this is the poisonous point! Oda Shingo thought about it carefully for a long time and came to this conclusion.

Just like Kurokawa Rumiko's "Ranma", the handling of the issue of Shanpu having a suitor Musi caused an uproar on the Internet.

The taste for female characters in comics is completely different in different eras.

In the 1990s, a motorcycle lady with big breasts and a big butt was a popular character. But in 2024, it is a niche, and it may even lead to a wave of opposition.

This is the reason why a certain game released a motorcycle portrait of an important female character, which caused a wave of opposition.

The times are different, and the aesthetic mood is different.

So after careful consideration, Oda Shingo revised the image of Aro in the comic version.

He referred to the character operation of the live-action version of "Koga Ninja Scrolls".

In the live-action movie on Earth, the heroine is played by Yukie Nakama, and her courage and decisiveness far exceed the original and comic versions.

In the movie, Iga and Koga each have five ninjas, and their skills are also different from the comics.

For example, the ability of the male protagonist Gennosuke is not to force the enemy with murderous intentions to commit suicide, but to almost suspend time and attack at will.

Oda Shingo listed the two abilities separately, constantly discussed and chose with Namikaze Yukaku, and then asked Mrs. Yukino for her opinion.

After the initial draft was completed, Fujido Kaoru, Mikami Yuko and external assistants were asked to review it.

Fortunately, "RED" is a bimonthly magazine, otherwise it would be difficult to get the manuscript out in time at this speed of meticulous work, even with the system bonus.

Oda Shingo and his team spent half a month carefully polishing "Koga Ninja Scrolls", and then it was serialized again in the latest issue of "RED".

Time, it is already December.
