Chapter 137 Is there any hope that it will be published in the official issue of "Jump"?
"Oda-kun, your "Parasite" is a good manga that I have never seen before." When Namikaze Yukaku was drawing the details of Chapter 6, he suddenly made a comment.
Stars of admiration began to shine in her eyes as she stared at Oda Shingo.
"Huh? Did you just find out?" Oda Shingo was confident.
Toudo Kaori also came over from the side, and came closer and closer, pressing against Oda Shingo's arm: "Teacher Oda, you are so amazing, I simply can't suppress my admiration. Now I feel like The body is like the water of the Yangtze River that is flowing incessantly, like the Yellow River that is flooding out of control. "
Oda Shingo felt the force of the two sides coming together and felt a little hot in his body, but his mind was still clear and he felt a little strange: "Hey? How come your words are so familiar to me? Why do you know..."
"Oda-kun, I admire you very much..."
"Teacher Oda, me too..."
The two women, one on the left and one on the right, are getting closer and closer.
Oda Shingo felt a heat somewhere in his body.
A familiar soft voice came from behind: "Do you want to feel the white snow on Mount Fuji?"
The landlord, Mrs. Yukino Mifuyu, came up from behind the chair and put her red lips to his ear.
The breath, like blowing from the mountains of ice and snow, began to hover around me, and my body became colder and colder.
"Oda-kun, which one do you choose?"
"Teacher Oda, are you planning to step on three boats? You only have two legs."
"Scumbag!"
His body was getting colder and colder, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Oda Shingo felt like he couldn't speak even if he wanted to.
Even if I try to explain that career is my main priority and say things like "I don't want to fall in love yet," my teeth are chattering and I can't make a sound.
It was as if the landlady had transformed into a snow girl, constantly freezing her body.
Jingle bell, jingle bell—
The ordinary phone ring suddenly rang.
Oda Shingo shook violently and sat up from the bed.
It was in the bedroom on the second floor of the studio. It turned out to be a dream.
I was so scared that I thought I would be frozen to death by the snow girl. Oda Shingo stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but found that his whole body was cold.
Isn't it a dream? So true?
But when I looked up, I realized that the air conditioner I had turned on last night was blowing directly on me.
"Isn't there a function to automatically avoid people?" Oda Shingo muttered.
I glanced at the still ringing phone and, uh, let’s not answer it for now. After all, my upper body wasn’t sweating, but my lower body was.
After quickly changing into his personal clothes, Oda Shingo called back.
When he clicked on the screen of his mobile phone, he was still thinking absentmindedly about the situation in his dream.
If all three girls really like me, which one should I choose?
"Xinwu! I'm sorry to bother you at ten o'clock, but I have something important to tell you." Saburo Mikami's voice was a little urgent.
Oda Shingo was slightly surprised: "What's the matter?"
"Next week a group of Yingshe senior executives will have a regular meeting, and the old president wants you to attend!"
"Why?"
"He said, let you tell the reason why the "Parasite Beast" comic was published in this magazine in front of everyone in the top management! How about it?" Saburo Mikami asked Oda Shingo for his opinion.
Although I know that Oda Shingo is the type who is good at workplace communication, he only has a strong career ability, but he has a personality that usually does not want to participate in social activities. Oda Shingo thought about it very carefully and did not answer. Instead, he asked: "...What is the current status of the old president?"
Saburo Mikami hesitated for a second and then told the truth: "...I may not say anything to others, but let me tell you, things will change by the end of the year at the earliest."
"I understand, then please tell the old president that I am very grateful for his kindness and I will attend!" Oda Shingo gave a positive answer.
"Ah, great. You can understand the old president's intention." Saburo Mikami also knew that the old president wanted to entrust Oda Shingo to be serialized in this magazine's "Jump".
"Jump" magazine has always been focusing on all ages, and the peach-top cherry red ones are rarely seen. In another world, Earth, there are only a few movies such as "Movie Girl" and "To Love" that can show mercy.
As for comics involving bloody violence, they are rarely involved. Basically, Yakuza, bloody, and alien works cannot be serialized in this magazine. Works such as "GANTZ" and "Fire Fist" can only be published in the supplement without a second thought.
Therefore, although the old president is still the head of the family. But if the vice president and the publication department are firmly opposed, and if other senior executives agree, it will really be difficult for "Parasite" to be published.
"...Basically, this is what you need to pay attention to. Goyashiro, Shingo!" After reminding him of the precautions, Mikami Saburo hung up the phone.
After Oda Shingo put down the phone, he immediately began to prepare.
He began to list a large number of market data needs that needed to be mastered, and then wrote out the painting direction of "Parasite Beast" and converted it into a ppt format.
Of course, he did not discuss the key plot in the later stage, after all, he had to be careful about the possibility of leaks.
When Toudo Xiangcheng arrived near noon, Oda Shingo immediately arranged for her to start related sorting work.
"Hi Yi! Make sure to complete the boss task." Todo Xiangcheng made a gesture.
Namikaze Yukaku also entered the door, but went upstairs to clean.
Logically speaking, Todo Xiangcheng is responsible for the overall cleaning and other tasks as an assistant. But Namikaze Yukuru insisted that she take direct charge of Oda Shingo's room.
The two even got into a fight over it. Namikaze Yukaku only defeated Todo Kojo with a slight advantage of one shuriken. Of course, the latter insisted that it was because the other party used weapons that he suffered a loss.
"Hey? Oda-kun? Are these pajamas of yours stained with glue?" When Yukaku Namikaze came down from the stairs, he came over holding the pleated pants with wet stains.
Oda Shingo almost slipped off the chair and quickly rushed up to grab it: "I wash my own clothes."
The comic production progress needs to be accelerated again.
"Parasite" was well received, and in less than a week, the number of collections reached 70,000. There are even people on many animation forums taking the initiative to promote it, and some people have even started to create second-generation works on YouTube.
Namikaze Yukuru also prepared sufficient market research. Oda Shingo glanced at the circled Sunday on the calendar and felt confident.
Monday, Qunying Club headquarters.
Oda Shingo walked to the headquarters of the Heroic Society. Accompanying him was the assistant Todo Xiangcheng, who was wearing a beautiful tight-waisted trench coat. After fastening the belt, she showed off her vase figure.
"Ah, Mr. Oda!" The security guard came to greet him early, with a friendly attitude.
Compared to previous visits, this security guard behaved completely differently.
"The elevator won't be broken, right? I have a psychological shadow." Oda Shingo joked.
Todo Xiangcheng's face turned slightly red.
"You're making fun of me," the security guard responded casually. But he noticed the female assistant's flash of shyness, and immediately shouted in her heart:
Sure enough, the rumor that the two of them were a bit naughty when they were trapped in the elevator last time is true!
Oops, how should I evaluate that such a beautiful and broad-minded female assistant can still draw such fierce cartoons by my side day and night?
All I can say is, Mr. Oda, what a real man!
I would definitely have kidney failure, so I could only draw something fresh...
