Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 59 Exotic Man Fans
USA, California.

James put away the daily necessities purchased from the supermarket and took out his own snacks.

Then he walked upstairs and returned to his room while humming a song from a recent popular anime.

James turned on the computer. Although he is a black man, he is very different from other black people.

The first thing is...

He has a college degree, although it is not from a world-renowned university such as Harvard or Yale.

But it is not a pheasant university with extremely low entry barriers like community colleges.

In addition, his family background is quite advantageous. Both his parents are local law enforcement officers, so he is naturally different from those bros who love zero-dollar purchases and empty-handed purchases.

Secondly, his hobbies are different from those of other black people.

Most black people generally enjoy hobbies such as singing, dancing, rap, and basketball that are engraved in the black DNA.

But James is not like this. What he likes is...

ACG subculture.

Anime, comics, novels, games, models, figures, ACG related pop music, etc.

That's what he likes.

To put it bluntly, James is a black otaku.

In addition to his own job, he followed in the footsteps of his parents and became a state policeman responsible for civilian work.

There is also a little-known job - the "British" comic team.

It is just like Lin Qingshan's so-called comic Chinese translation group in his previous life, which translated the dialogues in foreign comic works and then changed them into the native language.

The Chinese translation group translates and changes into Chinese, so the American "Chinese translation group" wants to translate into English, so it is naturally the "English translation" group.

However, this unknown job is mainly due to James' personal love.

As for making money, it is definitely not possible.

James just loved being able to see comics coming out of the Republic.

Especially the comic works of the Republic, with a wide range of genres and ideas.

This is much better than the superhero comic theme that has remained unchanged for so many years in American comics.

In particular, the works of the Republic are not limited to domestic culture, but also involve foreign themes of fantasy, magic, and knights.

This is what James likes the most, like the book "The Hidden Lord" that he was responsible for translating before.

Although the protagonist's soul has traveled through time from the Republic, the background and settings are indeed Western settings.

For this reason, James signed up for a Chinese course and learned Chinese.

And James recently discovered a work that he likes very much. It is also a work that is close to the background of their lives, but it is not a fantasy work.

It's a future science fiction comic.

It's called "Cyberpunk 2077: Edgewalker."

Translated is "Cyberpunk2077: Edge Runner".

Fortunately, the comic book author named "Qingshan" gave us what cyberpunk means.

Otherwise, James would never have thought of how to translate "cyberpunk", an unprecedented Chinese term.

After all, in this parallel world, cyberpunk has never appeared before.

Even the word "Cyberpunk" is already Lin Qingshan's original invention.

James turned on the computer, and the leader of the "English translation team" sent him the comic works he was responsible for translating.

It is his favorite comic "Cyberpunk 2077: Edgewalker" recently.

He really didn't know how the author named "Qingshan" came up with such a high-tech future world that was so insane that it could be called pathological.

Treating human body modification as a common practice, and even connecting brains to computers, which is definitely a violation of human rights and privacy rights in the United States, makes it an ordinary modification that everyone must accept.

Their country is a beacon of freedom and human rights, a kingdom where God walks on earth.

How could something like this be allowed to happen in the future?
But even though James thinks so, he is still quite afraid of such a future...

After all, the United States itself is a country controlled by capital, the future world described in "Cyberpunk 2077: Edgewalker" that is completely controlled by capital. It is still very likely to happen on their land.

After seeing Lin Qingshan’s previous personal interview, he gave an explanation for why he created “Cyberpunk 2077: Edgewalker”.

James was relieved again. This work was nothing more than a forewarning of future reflections.

The purpose is to warn everyone not to let such a world appear.

In addition to the setting of "Cyberpunk 2077: Edgewalker", James also enjoys the subsequent plot and characters.

Exquisite painting style, fully connected plot, and fierce and realistic battle scenes.

They all made him very excited and excited.

This was not a story he could experience as a civilian state trooper.

As for the deaths of Gloria, Pyrrha, and Jimmy Kurosaki, James felt that they were very close to the cruel environment of Night City.

Just like...

Their security environment in California is the same.

And his favorite character in this comic is neither the male protagonist nor the female protagonist.

It’s the team leader who is also a black character—Mann!
After seeing a black character appearing in Republic comics for a long time, Mann's personality charm is indeed particularly powerful.

So James likes the character of Mann very much.

In fact, it is not just James, a member of the "British group".

Among fans of "Cyberpunk 2077: Edge Runner" in the United States, almost all black fans like Mann the most.

But because "Edge Walker" is still only a comic, and it is still in the serialization period.

So there aren’t that many comic fans here in the United States.

At least compared to the mainland of the Republic, there are not even one-tenth of the comic fans in the United States.

Comics are like this. No matter how popular they are, generally speaking, they are definitely not as popular as anime.

So whether a comic is successful or not is one of the factors that determines it.

It's just that it has not been animated.

As a comic, "Cyberpunk 2077: Edgewalker" is only popular in the comic circle.

But James likes the comic "Cyberpunk 2077: Edgewalker" very much, and he has vowed to make this good work "Edgewalker" popular in the United States.

So when he saw the new chapter of the comic series sent by the team leader on his computer.

He was full of energy.

"James, send it to me once it's translated."

The team leader sent a message and also sent him a file.

"No problem, I'll finish the translation soon."

James replied.

Then he directly clicked on the file called "Cyberpunk 2077: Edge Runner 21".

He was directly immersed in the comic plot.

however……

After a while, James' eyes widened.

"Wait a minute, Mann's spirit has been eroded by the prosthetic body, and he's going to become a cybermaniac?!"

"No...I can't accept it..."

"That author, is he crazy?"

　I am also very troubled by the update, because I have to take my children to eat and bathe after get off work, and then put them to sleep before I can start typing.

　　So the updates may not be very fast. I can only update twice a day normally, and write three chapters in two days on weekends.

　　However, because the children are on vacation now, I plan to send them back to my husband’s hometown in the countryside when I have time this weekend to be taken care of by my parents-in-law. Maybe the update time can be earlier.
