Chapter 112 Single book battle!
The perks of popular female characters are always a killer.
Oda Shingo began comprehensive preparations for the single.
The specially designed large-format sister donburi close-up page is planned to be printed in full color.
Even one page is not cool enough, so a sandwich poster is required.
Although Oda Shingo looks down on Takeda Takeda's Bear Dolphin offensive, it does not mean that the blue and white bowl is completely outdated. The key depends on whether this blue and white bowl is stuffed rice or really delicious.
I believe that when readers see such a single volume and turn out the sincere inserts and folders, they will definitely exclaim: It smells so good, hey, it smells so good!
At the same time, in order to enhance the welfare effect of the single volume, Oda Shingo has further developed its online serialization.
Both Tatsumaki and Fubuki have a lot of close-up space, which is used on the cover of each episode.
This makes up for the problem of skipping chapters in the original Fubuki's plot, and the amount is appropriately controlled, not too much but not too much, which can be said to be just the right level of benefits.
"Teacher Oda, you must have had many girlfriends in college. Otherwise, how could you know so much about girls' clothes?" Toudo Kaori said with some sourness as she read the latest comic.
She found that Fubuki's figure was really weird. She had the advantages of her own upper body and Namikaze Yukaku's lower body.
"This is the voice of the majority of comic fans, and it reflects on my creative inspiration." Oda Shingo said with a serious face.
Todo Xiangcheng expressed his disdain: "Tsk, men's hobbies are all like this, and they say it in such an artistic way."
Takeda Takeda's heroine Nanako has a figure and appearance that make it clear that she needs cash.
But Tatsumaki and Fubuki's figures and looks are completely different. It's almost obvious at a glance that they need krypton life.
There is a feeling that they are not from the same era, and it seems that Hainako can always be found in reality, but these sisters, even if they meet in reality, they will not be happy.
On the Qunyingsha website, there is no suspense in the voting for the best female character.
Tatsumaki topped the list with an absolute majority of votes, nearly 30% more votes than the second-placed Fubuki, and completely secured her spot as the number one female character.
Especially in the voting interface, her arrogant look with her breasts like a plane landing smoothly and her small mouth pouting was captured by countless people.
This is especially true in the "One Punch Man" community. Comic fans have provided various fan paintings. Although the quality cannot be said to be high, their love for the characters is evident.
The most popular one right now is undoubtedly a Tatsumaki cosplayer: Yuzu is a giant.
A cosplay page with over 150,000 likes is just her most standard tornado look.
Slender waist, slender figure, bright green hair, and big eyes.
More importantly, this cosplayer not only looks similar, but more importantly, he is so similar in spirit!
Arrogance, domineering, squeamishness, and nobility all gathered in her body.
Even if Oda Shingo saw it, he would still say that this is the reincarnation of Tatsumaki, right?
It’s just that the name of this female cosplayer is [Yuzu is a Giant], which is very strange, and I don’t know where the inspiration came from. But at least the photo illustrates her thoughts: I am a bit short, but in your eyes I am a giant!
Whether you are a giant or not depends on psychology. But if it’s not a giant bear, it depends on physiology. According to some Tatsumaki fans, everyone knows it: small, but also very cute (*▽*)...
Slightly more exciting ones, such as cosplay scenes with hurricane special effects, were put into the fan zone.
Only comic fans who subscribe to the VIP paid channel can see the most complete cos photos.
This is what Oda Shingo discussed with Yuzu before.
[ah! I want to see her cosplay! I, who have always been free of money, want to subscribe! ]
[In order to support the tornado goddess, I also subscribed! ]
So, just for this fan value requirement for viewing cos photos, I don’t know how many tens of millions of subscriptions have been contributed to the website. There are two other highly discussed topics in the community.
One topic is: Author Shingo Oda was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award! He is expected to win the title of Rookie of the Year!
Manga fans expressed congratulations on this topic, but no one expressed expectations, because most of them said very objectively: With Kosuke Watsuki here, everyone should go to bed...
Anyway, Kazuki Kosuke's reputation is based on the official issue of "Jump", which is a generally recognized level of newcomer status. What's more, his comics are indeed very popular and have repeatedly occupied the top three positions in the "Jump" popularity rankings.
Another topic is that the single book of "One Punch Man" is about to be released!
"This must be news deliberately released by Springfield Bookstore, right?" Oda Shingo looked at the posting time and knew it was them.
It is understandable that there is a warm-up before the release of the single book.
Some people even swore that the first edition would have an insert poster.
Even though it’s already 2024, it’s still a rare thing to send color pages and posters in comic books.
The main reason: cost.
For Japanese comics, paper cost has always been the primary consideration. After all, its origins are cheap pamphlets.
The lessons of history are too serious. "MagazineSPECIAL" was famous for its color pages when it was first published. As a result, "YOUNGANIMAL" was the fastest to win, and "YOUNGANIMAL" was also behind the dying color pages.
Looking at how thick the black and white books of "Jump", "Magazine" and "Sunday" are, we can deduce that large quantities but low prices are the official principles of the comic book publishing house.
If the printing quantity is less than 50,000 copies, then definitely don’t consider color pages. If the volume exceeds 100,000, there will be a horizontal color panel or an inner color page.
Only when the printing volume exceeds 300,000 can we talk about sending inserts.
[Wow! Can web comics be published as stand-alone books? First time I heard about it. ]
[Will there be a stand-alone version of "One Punch Man"? expect! I want a dragon scroll that I can hold in my hand and admire! ]
[Great expectations! I want coloring pages! I want a poster! I want to see colorful tornadoes and blowing snow! ]
Readers began to get excited.
An online survey was sent out: Will you buy the "One Punch Man" stand-alone?
41% said yes, 23% said no, and the rest were neutral.
Oda Shingo asked Assistant Okita, and the 41% desire to buy it was much higher than the expected value of a single volume of ordinary comics.
Oda Shingo looked at the forum carefully, and then went to the manga forum of his opponent Kosuke Watsuki.
The forum for "Sword of the Goddess" is almost all about plot discussions, and seems a little unfazed by the upcoming publication of a single book.
After all, Wazuki Kosuke is a hot newcomer who is highly recommended by the group of heroes, and the comics are also very popular, so it is normal for a single volume to be published.
Oda Shingo, however, carefully read the forum comments, and then discovered that there was a characteristic different from his own forum: readers were discussing the plot and expressing their opinions on which characters were stronger, and few had any special interest in the characters.
This is a breakthrough point!
Oda Shingo was even more convinced that his focus was correct.
At this time, Oda Shingo suddenly saw a tweet at the top of the "Sword of the Goddess" forum, which was a tweet posted by Kosuke Watsuki.
[Oda Shingo? Are you nominated for the Newcomer Award with me? I don’t know him! Ah, at least the fame and works are not worthy of my recognition! Hahaha! ]
Thousands of fans left messages, and most of them replied with laughter.
Oda Shingo also laughed.
Okay, let me get to know you this time.
