Chapter 147 Man fans just sit there and won’t leave, all watching the parasitic beast
"Parasite", which has attracted a lot of attention but is also quite controversial, began to be serialized in the second issue of "Jump" in August.
Amid the support of many comic fans and the skepticism of critics, the serialization of 4 episodes began.
The physical version of the magazine is released first in the morning, while the web version is updated in the evening. This has caused many comic fans to start buying books in bookstores.
"Boss, is the new serial "Parasite" published in this week's "Jump" all 4 episodes at once? If so, I'll buy a copy!"
"I don't care what the reviews say, "Parasite" is just beautiful! I will buy "Jump" as soon as the physical book is available."
The shop owner looked at the few people waiting for the bookstore to open early in the morning and couldn't help but wonder: "Huh? Several people asked about "Parasite" today. What's going on? There is no single volume of this book."
"Didn't I say it? It's a new series."
"How do you know?" The shop owner was older and slowly put "Jump" on the bookshelf.
He also had limited information. Although he knew that the single volume of "One Punch Man" was selling well, he did not pay attention to the fact that this issue of "Jump" would publish a new comic by the same author.
"Oh! Stop talking nonsense and let me take a look!" The comic fans blocking the door grabbed the latest version of "Jump" and looked at it.
Thick pages are a characteristic of comic serial magazines such as "Jump". There is also a rough feel and cheap cover, full of the feeling of an old model from 20 to 30 years ago, which makes people feel very nostalgic.
The big back cover letter on the cover of "Jump" is printed with the slogan "The popular Oda Shingo's new serial "Parasite" will be released in 4 chapters".
Even the cover of this issue is a close-up of Izumi Shinichi, the protagonist of "Parasite Beast".
The protagonist Izumi turns his body on one side, making a fist with his left hand, and his right hand is weirdly twisted into a weird alien shape, with two eye-catching sickle-like blades and two weird big eyes. The picture on the cover is absolutely fascinating. eye.
"Oh! Sure enough, it's all 4 episodes! Boss, I'll buy a copy!"
"Give me a copy! You must read Mr. Oda Shingo's works immediately!"
The two comic fans seemed to know each other and talked a lot.
If it were other comic fans, they would probably be more socially fearful. They would retreat immediately after buying the book, so they wouldn't waste so much nonsense.
"Teacher Oda Shingo is a god! Updates are fast, the content is good, and there are also benefits for girls to watch!"
"Don't talk nonsense. Oda-sensei's paintings on "Parasite Beast" are serious and there are no benefits."
At this time, another young comic fan exclaimed: "Wow! This is a figure from "One Punch Man"!"
"Where is it? Where is it?"
They soon noticed that there was indeed a Punch Man figure on the peripheral shelf of the bookstore.
Regular directly-operated bookstores do not sell figurines, but most small bookstores sell a variety of things, not to mention various peripheral keychains or folders, such as renting video tapes, optical discs and CDs, and even selling various sex toys. Clapping supplies for fun.
Bookstores that mainly sell comics often have figures on the peripheral counters. But most of them will not have expensive figures, but just cheap scenery.
"Only selling it for 1,800 yen? Is it scenery-level? What a pity!"
"But it's not too rough!"
"As long as it's Tatsumaki and Fubuki, I can lick them!"
Several comic fans who watched "Parasite" directly spent money to buy high-quality figures.
When they turned around, they noticed that a comic fan was already sitting on the steps in front of the bookstore and started reading "Jump".
I went over to take a look, and sure enough I was watching "Parasite".
Several comic fans looked at each other and soon sat in a row in tacit understanding.
The four of them were watching very seriously.
Comments on the Internet tend to continue killing and gore, and many critics say that the author Shingo Oda is obsessed with this eye-catching technique.
These comic fans often go online and have been a little affected.
Although I am a fan of Oda Shingo, I can't help but have a little murmur in my heart: "Parasite" is not really just a Hollywood popcorn work with deceptive visual effects, right?
The new episode 4 starts with a lion walking leisurely in the square.
On the screen, a male lion ran out of the zoo and killed humans randomly in the square.
It's not hungry, it just wants to kill. He was there to test his fangs and claws.
People panicked and ran for their lives.
Some of them froze, and their throats were bitten by lions.
[Human beings are so fragile. ]
[Have I ever been ruled by such a creature before? ]
[I should be the strongest creature! ]
The lion builds the confidence of the strong.
Anyone who climbs a tree in a panic will also be jumped down and killed.
However, the lion met a man who was not afraid of him at all.
The man's eyes were strange and he looked at the lion indifferently: "It was a creature raised by humans. Did it escape?"
The lion's intuition warned itself: That is not a human being! It's another creature! Even better than me!
But the feeling of superiority and ease of killing just now made the lion unable to trust his intuition.
It showed its fangs and claws and pounced on the human in the air!
Then, the man’s head split open and spun like a sharp blade!
The lion’s huge head exploded, and its remains lay in a pool of blood...
In school, the protagonist Izumi Shinichi is playing basketball. Thanks to Xiaoyou's secret help, he plays like a god and wins the game.
A male classmate didn't like him and made trouble for him after the game, and even hit Shinichi.
"Stop!" Shinichi stretched out his hand to try to stop the other party.
At this moment, the classmate felt a chill all over, as if he saw a hunter staring at his prey!
Then Xiaoyou took action and knocked him to the ground.
"Wow!" When the male classmate woke up, he ran away in panic.
"Did he see you?" Shinichi suspected that Xiaoyou was exposed.
Xiaoyou's answer was reasonable: "That guy is afraid of being beaten by you again!"
This episode is over.
The meaning is still unfinished.
It seems that there are many things hidden in this statement.
The attitude of the strong towards killing the weak and the fear of the weak against the strong...
Weak people, strong people, lions, until...parasitic beasts!
This is a level like a beast chess, with physical strength ranked from weak to strong.
But this is just what the comic says on the surface.
It seems... there's something else said inside.
Several people didn't pay attention to the people around them, or even the reactions of passers-by on the street. They just read the words again.
This second time, I had a different perception.
Lion's intuition: That's not human, it's more powerful than itself!
Provoke the male classmate’s intuition: This thin classmate is like a hunter staring at his prey!
Is this a coincidence, or is it a deliberate comparison by the author Shingo Oda?
Perhaps some people are not as fragile as they appear?
Those who appear strong may not be really strong?
This new chapter of "Parasite Beast" seems to make more sense the more I think about it!
Teacher Oda Shingo actually used such clever comic techniques to express the meaning? !
Thinking about ordinary comics again, I wish I could open your skull and stuff the three views of a just society directly into your mind!
It’s such a great feeling to understand something after thinking about it like this!
Make a judgment based on your level!
"Who said "Parasite" can only attract attention in the Hollywood popcorn style?"
"Obviously those critics only want to attract attention! How can they guess the deep meaning of Mr. Oda's comics?!"
"Oda Shingo-sensei is so awesome!"
