Chapter 511 New Year, Ready to Set Off!
Does Oda Shingo seem to have signs of a comeback?
Not only Springfield Bookstore, but also peer rival companies such as Qun Ying Sha have discovered this trend.
A large number of female comic fans have begun to stand on the side of "The Burial of Furillian", and the number of male fans is also slowly increasing.
The biggest problem with this comic is its slow pace and lack of eye-catching pictures and plots.
But this is also its feature.
The unique narrative style, delicate emotional portrayal and distinctive characters make this comic have a strong lasting feature.
Some boyfriends and girlfriends who like to read comics have also had disputes because of this comic.
"The Burial of Frillen is so good, you must be emotionless."
"Come on, you girls are always startled. This comic is so slow, how can it be good?"
"Humph, you must not like me as much as you like the hero Sinmel."
"Come on, the hero Sinmel died in the first chapter, right? I saw him buried. They were separated for fifty years, how could they like each other? He didn't even go to find her."
"Humph! You men don't understand love at all!"
"The author is a man, Mr. Oda drew it, you read it from him!"
"You, you... you don't love me!"
A big V with 100,000 fans - 100,000 fans in Japan are indeed considered big Vs - made this comment:
[When I was reading "The Burial of Frillen", I gave up after the first chapter. Now I want to pick it up, but I'm hesitant. I always feel that it's not to my taste. I only bought "Champion" for "Saint Seiya" serialized in the same issue. 】
[Maybe I'm still too young, this kind of life cycle theme is not my cup of tea. 】
【But since so many fans like it, I even received many private messages from fans asking me to read this comic carefully and not miss it. So, it should be my personal feeling that is biased. 】
【So should I read it or not? I still want to wait. The pace is too slow. I want to read more in one go so that I can make a more objective evaluation, right? 】
【The issue of "Champion" after the New Year may set the tone for the reputation of this comic. 】
This statement speaks out the voices of many people.
Many comic fans left messages below.
[What you said makes sense. I also gave up on the first episode. Now I am a little doubtful whether I read it wrong. ]
[Teacher Oda's works are always good. Maybe this work is not to my taste? ]
[I decided to give this comic another chance in the next issue of "Champion". ]
While comic fans are still struggling, the New Year is about to come quietly.
In this world, Japan, looking back at the whole year of 2024, the economy seems to have improved significantly in terms of indicators, but a large number of people still feel that there is no improvement.
The yen has depreciated significantly and prices have risen rapidly. The wages of workers in mature industries have fallen, and the unemployment rate has not improved.
The public generally distrusts the Japanese government. The most frequently mentioned popular joke is: How long can this prime minister last?
In contrast, the employment rate of newly graduated students is very high, which does not conform to the characteristics of the economic recession.
Some economists believe that this is because the Japanese class has further solidified and big capital has sharpened its knife faster.
Japan's domestic investment has increased significantly, but authoritative figures are not optimistic. Because a large amount of funds come from overseas, and the desire for investment of local funds is not strong.
But life always has to go on.
Whether it is rich or poor.
On the second floor of Oda Shingo's studio, Namikaze Yukaku knocked on Oda Shingo's door and had something to say as soon as he entered the room.
"Shingo, I think... why don't I go back to my hometown and spend the New Year here? After all, the workload of comics is still very heavy." Namikaze Yukaku asked timidly, not daring to look up at him.
This was the first time that Oda Shingo saw her like this.
But before Oda Shingo could answer, Fujido Kaoara poked her head out from the unclosed door, "It's better not to go back! Come to my house for the New Year?"
Oda Shingo walked over expressionlessly and pressed Fujido Kaoara's head with both hands.
"Hey, don't do this in front of Yukaku, you pervert... oops..."
Fujido Kaoara misunderstood what Oda Shingo meant, and thought that he made her lean over and open her mouth when they were alone...
Oda Shingo rolled his eyes, pushed her head out of the door with both hands, and then locked the door.
"Hey, hey! In broad daylight, you two are alone in the same room..." Fujido Kaoara's knocking on the door came from outside the door.
Oda Shingo shouted angrily: "Shut up, we need to discuss business."
Toudou Kaoru then stopped talking.
Of course, it seemed that it was because Mikami Yuko came over to persuade her.
Inside the house, Oda Shingo looked at Namikaze Yukaku.
She had a slender figure, with her hands behind her back, which made her legs look even longer, but she was a little nervous and swayed a little.
This girl is worried about the market feedback of my new comics.
Oda Shingo hugged her in his arms and gently smelled the fragrance of her hair: "Don't worry, "The Burial of Furillian" will not have any problems. As long as we publish the manuscripts normally, the reputation will soon be reversed."
"But, Shingo, you pay the most attention to comics. After all, this is your career. Now is a critical moment. You can go back to my hometown at any time..."
Oda Shingo put his hand on Namikaze Yukaku's head and gently stroked her hair. "Aren't there many female comic fans who have begun to speak up for it? People have gradually seen the advantages of this comic."
Namikaze Yukaku hesitated, but she felt very relieved when she heard Oda Shingo's heartbeat.
She put her arms around Oda Shingo's waist and whispered, "What if my parents don't agree?"
Oda Shingo joked, "Then we can have a baby first and go to see them."
Namikaze Yukaku listened and looked up at Oda Shingo.
Her eyes seemed to be checking whether he was serious, but it scared Oda Shingo a little.
This girl is really considering whether it is necessary to realize it! Hey, hey, hey, I'm just talking...
But Namikaze Yukaku soon seemed to notice something: "Huh? Shingo, you have light dark circles under your eyes. Have you not slept well recently?"
"..."Oda Shingo felt guilty.
Recently, three people have taken turns to fight, and I can't stand it even if I'm made of iron!
Of course, it was quite enjoyable to say the least. No wonder everyone wants to be a scumbag instead of a shooter.
Oda Shingo and his group packed their bags and set off for Kansai.
They bought tickets for the Sanin Main Line, which is a Shinkansen and is known as the longest line in Japan. Of course, this does not include the new lines under construction.
They did not buy plane tickets because Fujido Kaoshi wanted to travel slowly.
Yes, Fujido Kaoshi also went, perfectly acting as light bulb No. 1.
Mikami Yuko brought two large bags of food, and the bulging backpack looked bigger than her. So Oda Shingo gloriously became a backpacker.
That's right, carrying a backpack for light bulb No. 2.
Obviously, they were going to visit their mother-in-law and father-in-law, so Oda Shingo naturally did not agree. But these two insisted on going! If they did not agree... the consequences would be at their own risk!
Oda Shingo was scared.
After all, they had caught him with evidence.
It's not easy to be a scumbag...
