Gotta Go the Healing Route

Kazama Xi, those junior cartoonists who have just squeezed into the jump serialization with evil manga, almost didn't say in public, "I want to fight to the death, why did your majesty surrender first?" '

If it weren't for Kazama Xi's double release, and the serialization of another manga Youth Jump was an orthodox evil manga, the repercussions caused by the decision to serialize "Chain Saw Man" would have been even greater.

However, after "Chain Saw Man" appeared in the public eye, this kind of complaint voice disappeared.

Although it is a typical kingly framework, the anti-routine, unconventional protagonist design and copywriting all reveal a sense of evil.

The case was solved. It turned out that it was not the evil teacher, the warrior of love Yu Biechao who betrayed the revolution, but the teacher directly killed Wang Daoman's hinterland.

The work "Chain Saw Man" was Yu Biechao's attempt to create Wang Daoman in an evil way, which was the consensus formed by people in the industry at that time.

And starting with Ji Ye, the authors of the evil camp also shouted, "I'm back, I'm back, I'm back." ', 'Yu Biechao finally killed the teacher, the teacher's butcher knife is already hungry and thirsty. '

After all, there is an important feature of Yubiechao-style evil works: heavy narrative methods.

Compared with Wangdao comics, which tend to be joyful and consummate stories and mainly describe the plot of passionate struggle, the expression of evil ways lies in the cruel reality, heavy depression.And the first and middle stages of "Chain Saw Man" showed this.

The industry and general readers thought that this was the face of kingly cartoons painted by evil methods, but now the story of "Chain Saw Man" has refreshed their cognition.

It turns out that the so-called evil way is not only a heavy narrative, but also this crazy and neurotic way of expression.This kind of evil and magic is reflected in the lines of the story.

It turned out that the mentor not only went crazy in the hinterland of Wang Dao Manga, but also ravaged Wang Dao Manga from the inside out with evil methods.

In this regard, the ones who feel the most are not only the authors of the evil way, but also the authors of the kingly camp who are competitors.

""The Chainsaw Man" got the number one score this week."

In Wu Shanyun's studio, Da Xionglong put the statistical form on the table in front of Wu Shanyun, and at the same time secretly observed the reaction of his own author.

The industry has not been calm recently.In January of the new year, "The Story of Tianjiao" and "Ninja Dragon" have been announced to be over, and two veteran cartoonists in the industry have announced the closure of their pens.

And "Soul of Sword", the last of Jump's three pillar-level works, will also be completed next month according to the rumors in the agency.The end of these three major works basically marks the end of an era of comics and the arrival of a new era.

And the leading figures in the new era are undoubtedly the girl in front of me and the boy in the Odaiba area.According to Shueisha's previous propaganda, it is the so-called double star era, where one king and one evil exist side by side.

However, this situation changed last year. No one would have thought that the young man who specialized in evil manga would actually create kingly manga across borders, and it would cause such a repercussion today.

"I see..."

Wu Shanyun didn't look at the Xiaozheng report card, but said: "In the end, comics exist because they are interesting. Mr. Xi's comics are more interesting, and it is normal to get the first place."

Interesting, this is always the first motivation for readers to follow comics.

In addition to the readers' evaluations of "Chain Saw Man", there are "Is Mr. Yu Biechao sick?", "Magic comics", and "The story of letting yourself go so freely", but more comments on Chainsaw Man are: 'Funny comics'

In the words of a big v critic on the forum:

"I'm not being sarcastic, I really think "Chain Saw Man" is a very warm, romantic and interesting comic. I can feel Mr. Yubiechao's exploration of all aspects of a brand new work, no matter in the comic Whether it is the interaction of the characters or the occurrence of events, it seems to me that it is very cute and interesting.

That's right, compared with the heavy realistic works of the teacher before and the works with grand themes like "Flame Fist", in my opinion, this chainsaw man is his attempt to express his emotions wantonly with his whimsy and whimsy.

I feel that reading Chainsaw Man is like chatting with the weird classmate next to me. I was a little cautious at first, after all, he looks too weird.But once you get in touch with him, you will feel that this person is very interesting after you let go of the confinement of your thoughts.This is an accidental journey of discovering treasures.It's really warm and romantic. "

This comment also expressed the aspirations of the majority of Chainsaw fans.

After reading a work, the reader will always have some feelings.

For example, the dead pen, regardless of the connotation, the first reaction of the readers is that the plot is exciting and the story is exciting.Another example is the magic circle. After reading it, I am naturally sad for the tragic experience of the magical girls and feel depressed.

But the first impression of the chainsaw man is that it is interesting.

Even if the plot of the knife is interspersed in the middle, it can't hide this interest.It's like watching a stand-up show, or watching an absurd comedy movie with popcorn in the cinema.

Although the story is absurd, the reading experience is very smooth, and the reversal of the plot is deafening.The depiction of the battle scenes is extremely tense, and the film-level storyboards make the comics extremely smooth.The rendering of the atmosphere is amazing, and the nonsensical dramas are humorous and grassy at the same time, which makes people can't help complaining.

As for the connotation, there are really not many connotation analysis parties that existed in the previous work of Kazama Xixi and the comment area of ​​Yanquan Forum.After all, "Chain Saw Man" shows absurd (neural) elements, which will lose if you study it seriously.

Even a serious person like Wu Shanyun, who has never been interested in absurd stories, can still feel the frantic joy (crazy) after reading The Chainsaw Man.

Great Demon King, Great Demon King...

Wu Shanyun recalled when "Chain Saw Man" was first serialized, knowing the creative nature and evil taste of that sunny boy, she naturally knew that Kazama Xi's transition to draw kingly manga was menacing and hidden.

But the scene she originally imagined was that the black shadow of the evil demon king enveloped the bright paradise of the kingly way.The lush land became barren, and creatures died one after another.This is also in line with the devil's usual cruel and depressive narrative style.

However, when the shadow of the demon king really enveloped this kingly paradise, the painting style displayed was completely different from what she had originally imagined.

The land is not barren, but the plants grow violently and their shapes are distorted.The creature didn't die, but became grotesque and danced wildly in this land.

What is brought is not destruction, but... spiritual pollution.

Withdrawing the strange intention that appeared in his mind, Wu Shanyun shook his head.

"In short, I will continue to work hard to create more interesting works."

Wu Shanyun calmly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and said to Big Bear Longyi.

Although she said to admit defeat, Wu Shanyun's trembling hand holding the teacup still betrayed the unwillingness in her heart——

Obviously I am so serious, but you let me lose so completely...

Zhuo! ! (╥ω╥`)

Chapter 240 Five Flame Fist Is Healed?

The situation on the side of "Chain Saw Man", the reader's reaction is over, let's continue to talk about "Flame Fist".

As a comic serialized simultaneously with "Chain Saw Man", compared to the joyful atmosphere of the readers there, the readers of "Flame Fist" seem to be much more lifeless.

No way, it's a matter of choice.

In Kazama Xi's previous life, a big boss commented on "Chain Saw Man" and "Flame Fist" very well: If "Chain Saw Man" is so crazy and frenzied that people can empathize with it, let's have a carnival together.Then "Flame Fist" has a big layout that makes people frightened, and a sickness that makes people daunting.

After reading Chainsaw Man, you can immerse yourself in it to experience the joy of the protagonist's madness, but Yanquan is different.

The background of the end of the world, a protagonist who is wearing flames and no longer endures pain all the time, a reversal plot that constantly shatters the protagonist's beliefs.

For this kind of story, if you can immerse yourself in it and empathize with it.Then congratulations, you are not far from psychosis.

In short, it is still too early for people today, whether it is Kazama Xi's previous life or the current person in this different time and space, to understand Fujimoto's "Fist of Flame".

Although at the serial meeting held with Aster Uemura after returning to Tokyo in January, Yu Kazama vowed to Aster Uemura that the recent plot of "Fist of Fire" will be normal, and there will be no more "become Fist of Fire" and "live" Go down' This kind of plot that drives readers crazy.

However, "Flame Fist" is also doomed not to be able to have a "good job" after Leisey's death like "Chain Saw Man", which can recall the plot of the reader's mood.

It can be said that since "for me, let's become Yanquan", the whole story of "Yanquan" is like the author's drug withdrawal, completely slipping into a state of morbid depression and distortion.

Kazama Xi's promise to slow down the pace is only to say that it will not stimulate readers for the time being.But the tone of the whole story has been set. Even if the rhythm is slowed down, the story is gradually moving towards depression and nothingness.

The story continued from the previous episode, Agni returned to his village with Togada's body in his arms

After returning, he found that the people in the village were almost dead, and a huge tree appeared in the center of the village.

The tree was built by the ice witch who took Yoda away before. With Yoda as the core, the tree will extract the life of all living things, so as to obtain energy to make the planet warm again.

Immediately afterwards, the mad Agni kept attacking the tree, constantly longing for a miracle to appear.

This is another extremely twisted plot. Agni is constantly thinking about living and dying, and is constantly looking for reasons to continue living.Pray for the appearance of her younger sister Luna.

Eventually, the tree shattered.

Seeing this, the morbidity and distortion felt by the readers years ago was once again recalled, and ptsd was directly rectified.

Just when readers are considering whether to go to the hardware store to pick up knives now, the story takes another turn.

It was freezing, and the fire on Agni's body was extinguished.

Because the tree would absorb all energy, the immortal flame on Agni's body was also sucked away by the tree.

Yoda is also beside Agni, and also lost his own memory.

Yoda wiped away Agni's tears and hugged him tenderly, as innocently as a child.And because of Agni's slip of the tongue, Yoda mistakenly thought he was Luna.

Agni could no longer attack Yoda. He clearly knew that the woman in front of him was the enemy who killed Luna, but his body refused to control Yoda as his sister.

Agni and Yoda came to an abandoned factory looking for clothes to cover their bodies. Seeing Yoda beside him was innocent and romantic, just like the real Luna, Agni couldn't help crying in the factory.

He called Luna's name over and over again, and Yoda kept responding like a child.

Agni smiled painfully and twistedly.

Agni's expression painting can be regarded as the pinnacle of Yan Yi, and it is also one of Fujimoto's most classic character expression descriptions. Kazama Xi also perfectly reproduced it in a different time and space.

Agni's expression makes the reader's heart twitch.

Yes, the redemption that Agni has been pursuing all along, the wish that could not be realized no matter what, was actually realized in this way.

Although the process is somewhat complicated and twisted, but what does it matter?

"It seems that... it's getting better?"

Silently returning the knives, but after thinking about it, the readers of "Flame Fist" still couldn't help discussing this plot on the forum.

"The flames on Agni's body disappeared, and he no longer has to suffer from the burning pain, and can live like a normal person."

"Although the village was destroyed, but looking at it from another angle, Agni can be regarded as a kind of burden, without having to cut flesh for everyone to live on, and also avoiding the educational problems that Dema mentioned before."

"My sister has also returned to Agni's side. Although she is not the real Luna, this situation can't be forced so much."

"So, this means that this morbidly gloomy story is getting better?"

Chapter 240 Six Inner Skirt 8 6 9 0 6 2 9 5 2 It's over

When a ferocious beast has shown its fangs and shown its ferocious side, no one will think that it is really harmless to humans and animals, no matter how gentle it is afterwards.

"Flame Fist" is such a beast. The apocalyptic background shown at the beginning of the serialization is doomed that this book will not have any warm and healing plots.

The impact brought about by the continuous plot reversal in the back makes readers crazy.

Can you imagine that feeling?

In the Battle of Bay City's Revenge, Agni fought against the Well-Wishers. Readers thought the story was about to end with a conventional revenge story, and Yu Bie Chao directly conducted a moral torture. The justice insisted by the protagonist is not real justice.

Forget it, and later I will talk about letting go of hatred, and we will hug together to keep warm and survive in the apocalypse.This is undoubtedly a sublimation of the theme of revenge, and readers feel that the story should end here.But Agni went to see Dema again, and the protagonist who advocated letting go of hatred went crazy, took the lead in the charge, regained hatred and killed Dema again.This also led to Togata's lunch box.

The reversal of the plot is like this, and the reversal of the theme is also one after another.

The theme of "survive" throughout the whole work is constantly subverted in Agni's body.

Want to die, want to live...and want to die...and live again.

This kind of rectification for the readers over and over again, when the readers think that the story can no longer be written and will end there, Yubiezhang just continues the story with a crazy development.
