Her thoughts had quietly shifted from coaxing her friend. She no longer needed to stick by her side to read comics with her again. Watanabe Misaki, whose eyes were filled with tears, reminded her that she didn't need to stop the tears from flowing. Akimoto Megumi immediately clicked on the next chapter.
It was extremely slow, much slower than the first episode. Others might have enough time to finish the second episode, and were unable to click on the third episode. Suddenly, Akimoto Megumi covered her mouth and nose and started crying, and her tears suddenly broke out.
She didn't say anything sarcastic like "See, I told you that Emi would cry too". As they were both sobbing in the bar, Watanabe Misaki directly handed her a cup of oolong tea.
Emmm, the kind of oolong tea made from a mixture of vodka and whiskey.
Ever since watching "Azure Blue", Watanabe Misaki often drinks like this and gets drunk especially quickly.
It was impossible for her to drink the oolong tea without even smelling it like the protagonist in the animation. After taking it and smelling it, Akimoto Megumi knew it was wine. However, driven by her emotions, she still put it in her mouth and immediately coughed because of the pungent taste.
But even so, she still sipped it sip by sip.
By the third episode, her friend Watanabe Misaki, who had been crying, had stopped crying, but Akimoto Megumi was still crying loudly, and she had already drunk three cups of oolong tea.
Seeing herself in the comics, she resonates with the comic heroine Akari, but more importantly, she resonates with the Kagoshima girl Hanae who appears in the second episode.
Now, at the age of 29 and about to turn 30, Akimoto Emi has still never really been in a relationship, let alone married.
Everyone thought that she had never had a first love, but little did they know that she had already been madly in love with someone. But like Hanae in the comics, she was wrapped in and hurt by that person's tenderness. In the end, she was still unable to confess her love to her university teacher who was more than ten years older than her and already had a family.
This was a secret that she had buried deep in her heart and had never told anyone. She thought she had forgotten it and gotten over that bitter crush, but now it was finally dug out by the comic "5 Centimeters per Second".
Watching the two people in the comic gazing at the rocket launch together, I almost felt the suffocating loneliness myself, and watching the male protagonist Takaki Toono finally smile at the station intersection and turn away with relief, Akimoto Megumi really felt like her heart was being cut and stabbed again and again, leaving her scarred and heartbroken.
"Woooo..."
She simply couldn't bear it, it turned out that she couldn't let it go. At first, she came as a comforter, but now, completely drunk, Akimoto Megumi threw herself into the arms of her good friend Watanabe Misaki and sobbed silently.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's my fault for making you like this, Huimei. Stop drinking, and let's go home."
Now, it is the turn of the sober Watanabe Misaki to advise her good friend Akimoto Megumi that "as a teacher, one should be strict with oneself and behave properly."
But Akimoto Emi drove here, how is she going back now that she’s drunk?
"I just checked her SNS updates and it seems Kaori is still awake. I asked her to pick us up."
Scanning the SNS updates, Watanabe Misaki found someone who was still awake and could pick them up, so she called another friend, Kaori.
“What’s wrong with you two? The two of you are crying like this. Misaki is fine, but even the calm Emi…”
"What do you mean, forget it, Misaki? Am I so unreliable in your eyes? I wasn't dumped by a man! I was like this because of reading comics. What's that look of contempt in your eyes? Come on, come on, read it too. I don't believe you can hold back your tears!"
With an angry voice, and with the bad idea of dragging everyone down with her, Watanabe Misaki handed the phone to her new friend Kaori...
This situation is by no means an isolated case. In the dead of night, similar things are happening everywhere in Neon.
The search volume and the number of views are growing at an alarming rate, spreading like a virus and breaking the circle.
In just a blink of an eye, the comic "5 Centimeters per Second" has become the number one trending search!
Volume 105: Chapter Chapter . A Heinous Crime
When a comic is released, some people think that the graphics are beautiful but the content is ultimately boring, and stop considering it a good work. However, some people resonate with it, recall the past, and cannot stop crying out of sadness, and regard it as a masterpiece and savor it over and over again.
Some people also think that they can't be the only one crying like a fool, and they need to bring more people together to share this hard-earned pain. So the word spreads from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, until it breaks out of the small circle of the second dimension and intrudes into the real world of people who never pay attention to ACG consultation.
The speed at which cherry blossoms fall is five centimeters per second.
Such words spread across the Internet overnight, and were heard by the audience, becoming synonymous with first love sentimental literature.
In short, "5 Centimeters per Second", which tells a youth love story based on the funny manga "Azure Blue" became completely popular, and the name of the 20-year-old genius, new animation director, and comic author Sato Yu also appeared more frequently in the audience's field of vision and was clearly imprinted in their minds.
This is only the first night, and the influence of Seconds 5 is still fermenting. This makes Sato Yu happy, but it is not what he cares about now, at least not for now.
While working on "Azure Blue" and releasing "5 Centimeters per Second", Sato Yu was already studying the production direction of the next anime and trying to pave the way for it. He took on the most important and difficult three and a half minutes of LIVE drawing shots in the "The Idolmaster" project.
This time, we are lending a favor to A-1, a major company in the industry. Perhaps we can get it back when the next animation is produced, which will give us more confidence in producing a phenomenal animation.
With this thought in mind, Sato Yu has been working hard for three consecutive days. Although he has now painted most of the stage part, he is almost exhausted and needs a good sleep to replenish his energy.
In fact, at 10 o'clock in the evening, before the animation was broadcast, he had already gone to bed and enjoyed a baby-like sleep, so the turmoil caused by "5 Centimeters per Second" tonight should have nothing to do with him.
But can he really remain unscathed by causing so many people to be sad, so many people to be emoting late at night, beating their chests and crying in pain?
Obviously not.
"To this day you are still my light"
Because of Qiong, he didn't dare to mute his phone for a moment. The ringing sounded loudly in his sleep and he shuddered suddenly. He was scared that it was the nurse Mita Chiharu calling. Sato Yu hurriedly grabbed the phone in his hand, and only breathed a sigh of relief after he saw that the caller was Hiromi Amayura.
The drowsiness had disappeared a lot after the fright, and when he answered the phone, Sato Yu scolded him in a bad mood.
"Hey, Yusheng, do you know what time it is now? I slept well..."
"I'll sleep with your grandma!"
"what?"
Hiromi Yuyu's scolding, which was even more violent than his, stunned Sato Yu.
He was woken up in the middle of the night, but he hadn't lost his temper yet. Why did the evil guy Hiromi Yuyu speak to him first? Could it be that the T0 system of this grumpy sister has awakened and turned into a fairy?
"No, Yusheng, why are you......"
"Wuwuwuwu, Sato Yuu, you deserve to die!!!"
The questioning was interrupted again. Yu Sheng Hongmei was hysterical, but his cursing was mixed with a strong crying tone, hoarse and sad.
What happened?
Sato Yu's head was buzzing from being scolded, and his ears were filled with special sound effects.
Without waiting for him to ask any more questions, Hiromi Yuyu finally yelled out the reason for her anger.
"Fuck you! Why did they suddenly release a movie called 5 Centimeters per Second, and released it so late at night? Why did Akari and Takaki have to separate? Why didn't Akari look back after the train passed? Why did they arrange for Akari to marry someone else? Why... wuwuwuwu."
After asking a series of whys, Hiromi Yuyu started to cry again on the phone, looking so pitiful.
It was then that Sato Yu finally understood that Hiromi Amayura was blown up by the comics and was turning around to blow him up.
"Well, even so, there's no need to wake me up in the middle of the night just to cry."
Gentle and hardworking but slow, he has virtually no love experience to this day. As a cartoonist, Sato Yu is actually a person who has never been heartbroken and cannot resonate much with the story of "5 Centimeters per Second".
Still unaware that he has committed a heinous crime, Sato Yu continues to complain about the crying Hiromi Amayura.
They see each other every day, so if they want to complain, they can just do it at the company. That’s what he thought anyway.
"What do you mean even so? I had finally forgotten it... but you made me remember it this way, and it made me feel so uncomfortable. You bastard must think this is fun and are playing with everyone's feelings for fun, Sato Yu, I'm going to be hot with you!"
Hiromi Amayura shouted loudly on the phone, and her voice made Yu Sato on the other end frown and throw the phone away from his ear. Just as he was complaining about why Ryunosuke Hamanishi hadn't come to stop this crazy woman who had broken down late at night, on the other side, Ryunosuke Hamanishi, who lived with Hiromi Amayura, finally appeared.
"Hiromi? I told you not to bother Sato. I'm only taking a shower and you..."
"What can I do? I'm really sad."
"You already have me. It's not good to cry like this because of your ex-boyfriend or first love. I will be angry."
That's right, she is in love and living with Hamanishi Ryunosuke. The sight of Hiromi Amayura crying when she thinks of her first love must hurt Hamanishi Ryunosuke's heart.
It was probably because of this that the crazy Hiromi Yuyu finally calmed down a little.
Should I hang up the phone now?
Seeing that the person on the other end hadn't spoken for about ten seconds, Sato Yu wanted to hang up the phone, but then he heard Hiromi Amayura's puzzled voice again.
"Ryunosuke, why are your eyes so red and swollen?"
"Ah? No...no, it's just like usual."
"You are crying, aren't you? You are crying too! Hiding in the bathroom!"
"Wait, Hiromi, calm down, calm down!"
"You must be thinking of your ex-girlfriend, the one in the tenth photo in your album, the girl sandwiched between the pocket watches in the drawer! Can't you forget her? You were clearly in love with me! You bastard, you playboy, you can't forget your ex-girlfriend even though you have me!"
"I don't!"
"You just have it!"
"Then isn't it the same for you? Because your ex-boyfriend cried in front of me, and I was very considerate of you. I endured it and hid in the bathroom before I could hold back a few tears."
"Sure enough, you just can't forget it! Bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard!"
Sato You heard the jingling and clanging sounds through the phone, and he suddenly felt nervous.
From what I heard, it seems like the couple had a fight.
The quarrel was caused by the comic book "5 Centimeters per Second" that he published. If their relationship broke down because of this, then wouldn't he be...
"Don't argue, don't argue, it's all my fault, sit down and talk it out..."
I couldn't even finish my words of persuasion because the call was unilaterally cut off by the other party and I couldn't get through even if I tried to call back.
"what?"
With his mouth wide open at the sudden outrageous state, all Sato Yu could do at home was put his hands together and pray for his good brother Hamanishi Ryunosuke.
I hope everyone is okay, Youmen!
"Phew~ It makes me feel refreshed too."
After being woken up and going through such a thing, Sato You's sleepiness had mostly disappeared, and he was afraid that he would not be able to fall asleep for the time being.
Since he couldn't sleep anyway, he became interested in surfing the Internet to read the comments after the comics were released. As soon as he logged into his Twitter, he found that Totani Kota, also known as the up-loader [动漫下手Kota], had sent him many messages in the background.
[It's broken, my N-site backend has been hacked! I received over 999 private messages, all of which are criticizing me! ]
[The live broadcast room was packed, I have never seen so many people in my life]
[Kami, they are so scary. Because there are too many banned words in the barrage, the live broadcast room has been banned! ]
[Fuck, someone is offering a bounty to me because I posted a video recommendation in 5 seconds. They seem to have called the police to report me for fraud! ]
[I just talked to the police who came to my house. Sato Kami, be careful when you go out these days! ]
"Is the reaction so big? It's a bit too extreme."
Sato Yu's eyelids twitched when he saw the message that Toya Kota sent him over an hour ago.
He doesn't understand. It's just a cartoon. Is it necessary to make people so angry?
【? 】
Very puzzled, Sato Yu sent a question mark, and it seemed that Toya Kota was still awake, and he immediately sent him a screenshot.
This is the scene in his live broadcast room.
The barrage of comments was on, exploding in number, filling the entire screen so that Totani Kota's adorable face couldn't be seen at all. The only sentence presented in the entire picture was -
[Knife in hand, follow me, blow up the train, kill Zou! ]
Volume 106: Chapter Chapter . Metaphor?
Fame value: 2320175
If Hiromi Yu Sheng went crazy and called him late at night to curse him, the audience in the live broadcast room would go crazy and scroll through the screen.
In addition, the news reported by this morning's news column that a mysterious comic dominated Japan's largest comic forum overnight made Sato Yuu have a direct sense of the huge influence of "5 Centimeters per Second".
The fame value count displayed in the system made Sato Yushin even more aware of the success of the comics, and also made him even happier.
You know, before he fell asleep yesterday, his fame value was only 430,000, but now, it has more than five times increased, directly reaching more than 2 million, a value that Sato You had never imagined before.
Due to the fact that the world's entertainment industry is not yet developed enough, the huge number of fans accumulated for him by "Azure Blue" and the contrast accumulated in the transformation from a funny anime to a first love comic, "5 Centimeters per Second" has achieved even greater success than its previous life.
At least, when the previous version of "5 Centimeters per Second" was first released, whether it was the novel, animation, or comics, the audience response was not as enthusiastic as it is now.
Looking at the numerous comments below his tweets, some expressing praise, some expressing complaints, and even more expressing anger, and looking at the first love stories and defense-breaking notes that flooded the forum, Sato Yu was stunned.
What the hell is going on? We are so confused now. The progress has only reached the cherry blossoms, not the falling meteorites!
Sato Yuya was complaining in his heart, and when he looked at the system interface again, he felt complaining.
【Settlement in progress】
It seems that the system didn't expect Sato Yu to reach 500,000 fame points so quickly, and it crashed when it exceeded that much? Or is it that the reward this time is special and needs to be released later?
In short, the second stage fame value mission has been completed, but the rewards and subsequent mission requirements have not been sent to Sato Yu, so he still needs to wait.
After this experience, Sato Yuya has a better understanding of the mechanisms of increasing fame value.
From 400,000 to 2.3 million, the difference is 1.9 million. It is absolutely impossible for the number of viewers of the comic "5 Centimeters per Second" to be reached overnight.
