Zongman: Why is your comic full of knives?

Nohara Hikari was in a good mood today, because today was the day when the third volume of"Three Questions of the End of the World" was released!

With the experience from last time, he naturally did not think that the speed of release would affect the quality of the work.

You know, it was only 20 days after the last release, but this time it took a whole month!

In addition, those unethical guys last time said they would wait and see, but in fact they were faster than each other.

This time he did not intend to believe any punctuation marks in the comments on the Internet!

So on Friday morning,

Nohara Hikari also found an excuse, asked for leave from his boss, and bought a copy of the third volume of"Three Questions of the End of the World" as soon as the bookstore opened!

Although the price he paid was to work overtime that night, he did not regret it.

He declined his colleagues' suggestion to go to the izakaya together, and returned to the rented small house as soon as possible.

He did not turn over the cover of the third volume that he had been thinking about, but chose to finish the dinner he bought on the road first. What if he was not in the mood to eat later?

Not only was it a waste of money, but it also hurt my stomach.

Pouring himself a cup of green tea, Nohara Hikaru sat upright, with a pilgrim look on his face, and slowly turned the pages of the book.

"Speaking of which, the illustrations are really nice. I heard there seems to be some event there today?"

"I'll go over and have a look after I finish reading it."

The thought flashed through his mind, and Nohara Hikaru was immersed in the gorgeous story described in the text.

One hour, two hours...

When he closed the last page, Nohara Hikaru, a man who was nearly 30 years old, had a tear fall from his eye.

The story had reached its climax as he had expected!

But the emotion in his heart that he couldn't let go of made him feel a little panic. He didn't need any explanation, nor did he need anyone to give him additional explanation.

He knew that this time, Chtholly was really dead.

He didn't want to think too much and look back. He just wanted to use time to heal the pain in his heart.

"Let's do something else to distract ourselves a little bit."

With this thought in mind, Nohara Hikaru thought of the thought before he turned the page.

"Let's go check out the artist and see if there's any new updates."

After a quick search, he found the other party's SNS page.

Then the video in the latest update caught his attention.

Click to play.

The video, which was less than 3 minutes long, ended quickly.

Nohara Hikaru was stunned in his seat.

Unconsciously, big tears kept sliding down his cheeks.

The sad emotions gathered and fermented in his heart, and then broke out completely!

290"Chtholly!!"

"William!!"

"Woo woo woo...."

A big man who is nearly 30 years old, at this moment, was crying in his little house.

Despite the grief, the emotions accumulated in the man's heart were perfectly vented.

Similar scenes.

Happened all over Japan. Only those who have read the three volumes of"Three Questions of the End of the World" will understand what true sadness is and how precious the love between two people is after watching this video! Others may be sad and upset, but their feelings are only superficial. The fans of the painter and the writer, the numerous discussions that followed, and the controversy surrounding the work itself.

......

All these things converged into an unrivaled torrent, which, over time, completely exploded on the Internet.

However, this is all a story for the future. Right now, there are more loyal fans of the work like Nohara Hikaru who, after venting their inner sorrow, can't help but pick up their pens and write a series of long reviews!

"I'm a man in his late 30s."

"Daily life is also very boring. I go to work, work overtime and go to the izakaya with my colleagues....Apart from this, there is almost no additional activity"

"When did things change? Looking back now, it is still very interesting."

"My boss rarely asked me to work overtime that day. I got off work early, but I was confused about what to do with my free time."

"At this moment, the teenagers passing by were in high spirits and discussing all kinds of things in the second dimension. They successfully attracted my attention and reminded me of my younger self."

"How similar were I to them at that time?"

"But at that time, the second dimension was not a word that could be mentioned casually, and I could only hide my hobby secretly by myself, instead of being able to communicate with my peers without any scruples like them."

"The love I once had was erased by life, but the memories that were evoked made me subconsciously go to the bookstore and pick up the book, which now in retrospect can be called a fateful encounter.——《What are you doing at the end of the world? Are you free? Can you come to save us?》"

"The first volume, the style full of sadness and out of tune with the world, intoxicated me, just like me who came to the big city alone to ask for salary. No matter where I am, it is difficult for me to put myself in it."

"The second volume is getting better and better. The failure on the front battlefield makes me feel distressed, and the resurrection of Chtholly makes me happy, but the description of the style also makes me realize that this is destined to be a tragedy."

"So the story also reaches its climax in the third volume! The love between Chtholly and William is heartbreaking, but also envious. At least from Chtholly's perspective, we can see that she is extremely happy and does not regret this relationship."

"Because my wish not to disappear was not fulfilled, but my wish to be remembered and leave a bond was fulfilled! Just like what was said in that edited video, no matter what others say, I must be the happiest girl in the world now!!"

"So although Chtholly's death made me feel sad, I couldn't help but envy this girl from the bottom of my heart. At least in this last period of time, she successfully found her own love and the bond that countless people envied!"

"On the contrary, William who is still alive makes people feel more heartbroken. The love between the two is so passionate, so compared to Chtholly who is dead and doesn't need to think about anything, William who is alive and can still think, is really more sympathetic, right? ?"

"After all, the protagonist of this story is William, and Chtholly is just a part of this man's long life."

"It is not difficult to see that his life was miserable. He believed that even if he could not protect the whole world, he could protect the thoughts of one person, and he even reached the limit of human beings for this."

"In the end, the result was still failure."

"Chtholly, he failed to protect her, but was protected by her instead"

"I think there will be other characters appearing later, and they will probably also bring about similar tragedies, right?"

"Back to the present, in those dialogues, we can see the feelings of the two people, but at the same time, compared to Chtholly's passionate love, William is confused."

"Because he himself realized, did he truly love her, or was he just using her as a tool to achieve his own redemption?"

"The answer lies only in William's heart. We outsiders don't know."

"Right now, William, who is still alive, has no purpose. I think the subsequent plot will develop to the same point as the day before yesterday, right?"

"I think the day of the final chapter is not far away."

The owner of this post is naturally Nohara Hikaru.

After experiencing such grief, he came to his senses and wrote this long comment involuntarily to express his inner emotions.

Unsurprisingly, after it was published, this long post received countless praises and compliments.

"Great! This long review really hits the spotlight!"

"Although I was deeply saddened by Chtholly's death, I was even more distressed by the remaining William."

"However, I can't help but worry a little bit. After such a climax, how will the subsequent plot bring sadness?"

"I hope the stock market won’t end badly!"

"Teacher Shadow!!"

Nangong Mu moved his phone away with a look of disgust, and waited until there was no sound from the other end before sending it back to his ear:

"I know you're very excited right now, but could you please keep your voice down?"

"My ears are almost going deaf"

"Sorry, sorry."

Machida Yuanzi laughed happily, her voice was a little softer than before, but the joy contained in it was not diminished at all.

"So, is there any good news this time?"

"Shadow teacher is always like this!"

Machida Yuanzi sighed helplessly:"Every time I am the only one happy here, don't I look like a fool! ?"

"I am actually very happy, but I am not good at expressing this emotion."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Machida Yuanzi said perfunctorily, not believing a word of it.

"Although the first-day sales of the third volume of"Three Questions on the End of the World" were only 22,000 copies, the video posted last night completely ignited everyone's enthusiasm!!"

"Everyone in the printing department is working overtime today, and many bookstores (baac) are frantically buying goods. I think this month's sales will definitely set a new record!!"

"That's great."

Nangong Mu finally smiled this time. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

《The first month sales of the second volume of"Three Questions on the End of the World" was 126,000! This is a huge increase compared to the first month sales of the first volume!

The online discussions during that period of time were the main reason for this result.

And with the current popularity, the third volume will probably reach a new peak again!

In addition, the sales of the first two volumes will also be affected and will increase on the original basis!

"By the way, although yesterday’s popularity also brought more negative comments, this kind of discussion will only make it more popular!"

"The editor-in-chief and I agree to let the bullets fly for a while"

"After all, as long as Teacher Nangong finds a suitable time to reveal his identity, everything will be settled!"

Nangong Mu nodded without comment:"I understand."

"Well, I won't say any more. It's just been released and I'm very busy here. Goodbye, Teacher Shadow."

After hanging up the phone,

Nangong Mu's eyes could not help but fall on the computer screen in front of him.

It was different from the one-sided praise yesterday, but the maliciousness visible to the naked eye.

"I don't deny the excellence of the third volume of"Three Questions on the End of the World", but I just want to ask a question. For example, my fastest sales speed is one volume in April. Under the premise of maintaining such high quality, how can the other party achieve the speed of monthly volumes! ?"

"In fact, from the name Ying, we can tell that this person should be fake and non-existent. Otherwise, why would he choose this one among so many pen names?"

"Given the strength of Fujimi as a company, I wouldn't be surprised if they could produce such an excellent work. However, from the perspective of an individual author, I don't think anyone can guarantee such high quality and maintain such a fast release speed!"

"..."

If there were still people who questioned the quality of the work at the beginning, then after the third volume and the video released by Nangong Mu appeared yesterday, all these voices disappeared.

Instead, people questioned the identity of the author.

Obviously, the appearance of such a strong work made the publishers ahead of Fujimi and behind it see the threat. It would be the best result to be able to nip the threat in the bud!

"Well, professionals should let professionals do it."

Nangong Mu closed the webpage and didn't care about it anymore.

Instead, he was thinking about the new work.

There is no doubt that as time came to December,

Nangong Mu had already released Guilty Crown.》、《The drawings for"Three Questions on the End of the World" have been completed.

Now"Three Questions on the End of the World" will be serialized in the magazine next week.

《Guilty Crown is being ranked in the name of Mashiro.

It is worth mentioning that Food Wars! is currently steadily improving its reputation in the top ten magazines. After all

, no teenager can resist Eriri's astringent painting style.

What's more, this work itself has a lot of benefits.

And as in the past, in Guilty Crown,》、《After finishing"Three Questions on the End of the World", new works emerged in his mind.

There are still two new works!

But this time, Nangong Mu only has one last serialization quota left.

So he had to think carefully about which work to launch first!

"Although this is great, even if I draw it now, I might be questioned,"Is my talent exhausted?"

Even with such concerns,

Nangong Mu still prefers this work.

After all, the reversal will make people stunned and exclaim.

Although the latter is also very good, it is far from the wonderful reversal.

Just when Nangong Mu was worried, a phone call dispelled his concerns.

"Editor-in-Chief Minano?"

Nangong Mu asked in surprise.

You know, in the past, it was the junior editors who contacted him. This was the first time that Editor-in-Chief Minano contacted him directly.

"Actually, there is something I want you to help with. Can you come to the company?"

""Okay, I'll pack up and come right over."

Nangong Mu didn't hesitate at all.

After all, Shueisha had always been dedicated to him and helped him a lot in all aspects.

When there was a need like this, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

Nangong Mu quickly came to the company.

"Haven't you heard about it either?"

Yinsha Jianzhang spread his hands:"Editor-in-chief Jianye said to wait until you arrive."

Hearing this, Nangong Mu had to suppress his curiosity.

Under the leadership of Yinsha Jianzhang, the two came to Jianye Chan's office.

"What would you like to drink?"

"Boiled water will do."

Yinsha saw Zhang pour the water without hesitation.

The three of them sat down on the sofa.

"Here's what's going on..."

Nangong Mu understood the whole story after Minano Matoi's simple explanation.

As mentioned before, the Shueisha in this world is not just about comics. It also has experience in light novels and animation.

This time, the commission is to ask Nangong Mu to help write a script to participate in the Neon Animation Award next year.

"Why did you deliberately look for me?" Nangong Mu wondered.

Jie Yechan shook his head and denied this statement:"It's not that I deliberately asked Teacher Nangong for help."

"This time, all screenwriters who don't have any work plans will be arranged."

"It seems that this selection is very important to the company"

"Yes."

Minano nodded and said bluntly:"This is to examine the company's animation production qualifications."

"Large companies like Shueisha must have 20 works ranked in the top ten of the Neon Animation Awards and 3 works ranked in the top three of the Neon Animation Awards within 5 years in order to continue producing animations."

"Otherwise, the qualification will be revoked."

"What's the reason for this?"Nangong Mu was puzzled.

"The ACG field is one of the three pillar industries of Neon, and the competition in this industry is extremely fierce."

"for���The big groups with advantages are not willing to make progress, so this rule was set. Only by producing enough excellent works can more permissions be obtained."

"In fact, it is not only the case with animation, but also comics and light novels have relevant requirements."

"But among all these, animation is the only weakness of the company."

After explaining, before Nangong Mu could raise any doubts, he continued,"Only original animations can participate in the Neon Animation Awards."
