Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?

Chapter 468: Saint Seiya figures must be strictly checked!

"The number of subscriptions for the latest issue of "Champion" has reached 30,000 in 12 hours!"

The technicians of Springfield Bookstore reported the data immediately.

For online subscriptions of Japanese comics, thousands of subscriptions have always been considered popular books, and tens of thousands of subscriptions are considered great.

But "Saint Seiya" actually broke through ten thousand subscriptions in one hour!

Even the official website of Springfield Bookstore felt the pressure, and the number of online users reached 50,000 at the same time.

Of course, these 50,000 people will not all subscribe. The online pages of Japanese comic magazines have always had a tradition of partial reading.

Some websites even provide free reading, but the pictures are low-definition. Only after paying for a subscription can you see the high-definition page.

For example, "Boku and Humanity Gradients of NTR Rabucom", which is a little famous on the earth, cannot see many wonderful shots in the free part when reading online.

The keyword is the last word, and the free readers are endless.

"I said that this work of Shingo's would be a big hit!" Sansaburo shook his fist fiercely, and then ordered his subordinates, "Increase the publicity efforts, and there are also water troops stationed! Pay attention to any bad wind direction and respond immediately!"

"Hey!" The subordinates did it immediately.

Any comic work that is popular will have black fans popping up like mushrooms after rain.

Especially for comics with themes such as Saint Seiya, there may be people who spread foreign doctrines and Westernization ideas at any time to smear it.

Of course, Sansaburo didn't know that even China on the earth has a large number of water army accounts that smear Saint Seiya.

In order to increase traffic and attract attention, many public accounts have belittled Saint Seiya.

Although Mr. Kurumada's original work does have various problems, it is indeed a very excellent comic work in the last century's Showa era, and it has reached the level of Japanese national comics.

But they like to falsify data, saying that the sales of Saint Seiya's single-volume books and figures are not high, and the so-called Saint Seiya craze is from China, not Japan.

But in Japan at that time, almost everyone knew Saint Seiya, which is unquestionable. Even after the popularity of Saint Seiya, the original tarot cards of the witch crystal house turned into fortune-telling by constellation fortune-telling.

It was the same in China at that time. The constellation concept of Saint Seiya directly changed some of the three views of a generation of young people.

The constellation fortune-telling, which originally had no voice, began to rise, and many sayings that constellations determine personality were overwhelming, and the aftermath is still endless.

Of course, this is not entirely the credit of Saint Seiya, but it is absolutely no problem to say that it played a role in fueling the flames.

"Minister, why is Mr. Oda's "Saint Seiya" so popular?" Assistant Okita asked his boss a little puzzled.

When he first saw the manuscript, he thought the picture was a bit outdated, the storyboard seemed a bit old, and even the character settings were too bland and without depth.

In front of his subordinates, Saburo Mikami's analysis of the cause of the fire was slightly different from what he said in front of Shingo Oda: "There are many reasons. Mr. Oda can grasp the fighting pleasure that comic fans care about most, and I think there is another important objective factor: the current comic market is too full of trash!" "Ah! Right! You are talking about the protagonists of most comics. It's strange if there are no men, right?" Assistant Okita suddenly remembered that after the battle of Athens in the first episode of Saint Seiya, Seiya didn't talk much to Shaina at all. Saint Seiya seems to have no love story at all, no, it should be said that it is just flirting without development. Unlike most comics in the market, several important male characters in Saint Seiya have never licked female characters. Typical licking dog Xiewu, who can't pretend for more than three seconds, was beaten so hard that his mother didn't recognize him. It's hard not to suspect that Shingo Oda did it on purpose. But the comic fans are very satisfied with it. Among them, whether Seiya and Saori Kido will develop a relationship also makes many comic fans feel itchy. Sansaburo Mikami added: "Your analysis is not bad. Saint Seiya is a typical example of overcoming cleverness with force. It emphasizes the blood of men. All toilet paper comics will disappear in the passionate battle!"

The current popularity of "Saint Seiya" by Oda Shingo is partly due to his personal accumulation of readers, and also depends on the current comic market where toilet paper is rampant.

Just like the problems of the works of Takeshi Gouda and Nobuhiro Arakawa before, comic fans have read too many petty comics that are apparently about fighting in another world, but in essence, they are still about love.

It's either harem or party struggle. Whenever there is a single female protagonist, she has to kill blood in the Shura field to stand out.

So Oda Shingo's "Goblin Slayer" is also popular as soon as it comes out. The way of treating adventurous girls as harems completely shocked comic fans who are used to seeing them.

From another perspective, "Saint Seiya" does not treat men as human beings.

In the comic market where toilet paper is rampant, the male protagonists are all dragon-level existences. Even if he awakens a rubbish skill, it is just a BUG ability in a rubbish shell.

But as the protagonist of Saint Seiya, Seiya is really not treated as a human being!

Whenever a fight breaks out, he will be rubbed on the ground! After hitting side A, he switches to side B, and he is almost splitting his legs and kicking his brother...

"Bullmaster! Toei Animation Co., Ltd. has contacted us, hoping to discuss the animation changes of "Saint Seiya"!"

"Sure enough, I knew it!" Saburo Mikami smiled as I expected, "Saint Seiya is not inferior to Koga Ninpo Scrolls, how could someone not negotiate for animation as soon as possible?"

This time, the animation negotiation came faster than the peripheral negotiation.

And what came after the animation negotiation was not the most common stationery peripheral negotiation, but the negotiation for Saint Seiya figurine cooperation!

In the past, the peripherals of a popular comic started with stationery peripherals.

After all, students are an important part of comic reading, and their desire for peripherals is very strong. Compared with the older 20-year-old consumers who prefer figurines, teenage students prefer stationery peripherals.

Compared to the figurines placed in the room, it is more cost-effective for students to buy stationery peripherals. In the learning state, it is a very cost-effective thing to often come into contact with your favorite comic characters.

Therefore, among students, stationery accounts for more than 80% of the peripherals. For example, the eraser and pencil of Ania in "Spy Play House" once had a miracle of 30 million sales per day.

Moreover, stationery peripherals have low investment and fast market response, so they have always been the fastest representatives of the peripheral industry.

In the comics industry, stationery peripheral companies are called "moths", which comes from the allusion of moths flying into the fire. When a comic is popular, they will rush over to sign a contract, and then turn to the peripheral market like a group of moths.

"Hand-made figures? Negotiating Saint Seiya figures?" Oda Shingo took the report from Mikami Saburo and touched his chin, "You must have a sample of the trial work before you can negotiate! The corresponding authorization conditions can be appropriately relaxed, but ensuring the quality of the trial work is the first priority!"

When Saint Seiya fans mention the hand-made figures, they are a handful of bitter tears that can flow into the Milky Way!
