Chapter 218: As for feelings, just run faster than her!
After Oda Shingo sent away Yuko Mikami, he returned to the work of painting storyboards.
Mrs. Yukino, however, has always remained very attentive. She is dealing with the stand-alone books of "One Punch Man" and "Parasite".
Although Qunyingsha unilaterally removed the web serialization of "One Punch Man", it did not interfere with the single volume of Springfield Bookstore.
It’s just that Todo Xiangcheng and Todo Xiang always seem to be inattentive.
From time to time, Namikaze Yukuru and Toudou Kaori would turn to look at him.
From time to time, the two of them would talk together.
Once Oda Shingo looked over, they quickly turned back and continued working.
It looks very much like the restless students in school who are battling wits and courage with their class teacher...
This is not possible, Oda Shingo frowned.
The new manga is about to start work. If Yuko Mikami becomes the main writer tomorrow, won't the two of them have a falling out? Find a way to solve it!
He suddenly caught a glimpse of Yuko Mikami's gift box, opened it and took a look.
After watching for a while, Oda Shingo smiled and walked towards the two women holding the gift box.
The two women were chattering again, and quickly lowered their heads when they noticed that he was coming over.
"Stop pretending, you two didn't concentrate on your work today." Oda Shingo sighed.
Toudou Xiangcheng and Namikaze Yuzuru were embarrassed.
Toudo Kaori first said: "Isn't it because we discovered Mr. Oda's big secret?"
"Secret?" Oda Shingo felt guilty. Could it be that the system had discovered some clues?
"The real reason why you are a gentleman!" Todo Kouchi looked unhappy, "I'm still thinking about why you ignore me and Namikaze Yukaku. It turns out you like pans! "
"F-pan?" Oda Shingo didn't understand.
Toudo Xiangcheng gestured with his hand in front of his chest, almost vertically. Compared with her figure, it is very obvious.
"Ah, you are concerned about Yuko Mikami." Oda Shingo thought about it in his mind.
If the people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team. This matter cannot be delayed and must be made clear quickly.
"Let's talk carefully. Come and sit over at the coffee table." Oda Shingo put the gift box on the coffee table and went to pour two glasses of water and bring it over.
But at this moment, Mrs. Yukino stood up and said with a smile: "You talk to them, and I'll go sit on the balcony, just in time to read the manuscript of your new comic."
She took the storyboard that Oda Shingo had just drawn and slowly walked upstairs.
"Thank you for your trouble, Mrs. Yukino." What is a mature woman? Oda Shingo had to sigh in his heart, Mrs. Yukino is like this.
Immature women will ask men difficult questions, and even difficult questions that cannot be answered correctly. Mature women, on the other hand, help men solve problems and even actively avoid them when they shouldn't be there.
"Todo-kun, I can feel what you and Namikaze Yukaku think of me." Oda Shingo actually gave him a straight shot.
Todo Kojo and Namikaze Yukaku both widened their eyes.
It's just that the former straightened his back subconsciously, like a student who was called on by the teacher.
The latter subconsciously covered his mouth and looked at Oda Shingo nervously.
"I am very honored to have this feeling, and I cherish these expressions of yours." Oda Shingo said very seriously, "But I am sorry that I cannot respond."
Both women's faces turned pale.
In Oda Shingo's mind, the scene of "Girlfriends in Pairs" flashed instantly.
It was a classic scene in which the male protagonist confessed his love to the two female protagonists and asked to date them at the same time.
But that doesn't suit me.
"Who can still fall in love when we're already drawing comics?" Oda Shingo said word by word.
"..."
"..."
The two women were stunned for a while.
Oda Shingo opened the gift box sent by Yuko Mikami that was placed on the coffee table.
"Handwritten note?"
"A gift from comic fans?"
Todo Kojo and Namikaze Yukuru were surprised.
Contained in the box are many printed slips of photos and pictures.
[Teacher Oda, thank you for bringing me such a wonderful work! Please keep up the good work! ]
[My Fubuki! My tornado! The story of my two wives should not stop! ]
[I’m not good at words, so I can only say that teacher, you must never stop writing. I still want to read your comics! ]
[Oda thief! If you dare to stop writing and play as a female assistant, I will make you a villain and stick needles in your crotch every day! ]
[Please! Please! Really please! I want to read Mr. Oda’s comics! ]
The many words of encouragement from comic fans are dazzling.
Toudo Xiangcheng and Namikaze Yukaku took out the pieces of paper and looked at them.
At the bottom of the box is a CD. Oda Shingo put it into the computer's CD-ROM drive, and folders containing countless photos and some videos were quickly displayed.
Those are the voices of comic fans.
Many of the comic fans did not write by hand, but directly recorded videos.
In particular, there was a comic fan with a hand disability who stuttered a bit in the video:
[Teacher Oda, I can’t write with my hand, and it’s too ugly to write with a pen in my mouth, so I made a video to tell you. I really like your comics, and I really hope to see your new works...]
Namikaze Yukuru and Toudo Kaori have already had tears in their eyes.
After Oda Shingo closed the video, he spread his hands out as if holding these precious handwritten notes from comic fans.
"Now, you already know."
"Our work not only includes our hard work and sweat, but also receives responses from countless comic fans and carries the expectations of countless comic fans."
"Facing these gifts, do you think my personal feelings still have a place in front of the great work of cartoon drawing?"
"Teacher Oda..." Todo Kouchi felt ashamed, "Mikami Yuuko collected these notes, sorted them out, printed them out one by one, and cut them out, right? She was really attentive."
Namikaze Youkaku also bit his lips. Although he didn't say anything, he could see shame in his eyes.
I was actually jealous of such a sincere girl just now! She is such a well-behaved and loyal comic fan!
"So, I have no plans to fall in love before our manga studio becomes king in the industry." Oda Shingo made his attitude clear.
After saying this, he looked at the expressions of the two women.
The two women were a little stunned.
"What our manga studio needs is not a romantic partner." Oda Shingo made his principles very serious, "So next, I hope you can continue to work with me and become colleagues who work hard for manga drawing and satisfy the needs of manga. A partner that fans look forward to and strive for!”
He slowly collected the notes from comic fans, carefully put them into the gift box, and placed them on the bookshelf.
Then, Oda Shingo turned to Namikaze Yukaku and Toudo Kojo and bowed sharply: "Please."
He straightened up and waited for the two women's replies.
Todo Kojo and Namikaze Yukaku looked at each other.
"Really, it's as if we don't know what to do." Todo Kouchi waved his hands dissatisfied, "I will concentrate on my work. Please take care of me, Oda-sensei, no, Oda-kun!"
She changed her title without permission.
"Okay, you can call me that from now on." Oda Shingo agreed.
Namikaze Yukaku glanced at Todo Kouchi and said to Oda Shingo: "Then from now on, Shingo, please continue to take care of me!"
"Huh? You want to change your name too?" Oda Shingo was stunned.
Hum, the two women stood up with satisfaction, returned to their seats and continued working.
The two women coincidentally had the same thought at this time:
I promise you that I will not delay my work, but when it comes to feelings... Humph!
We were obviously here first, how could we be overtaken by a little frying pan girl who came later?
As for feelings, as long as you run towards the finish line of Oda Shingo and run faster than her!
When Mrs. Yukino came down from upstairs, she saw that she was back in the quiet studio.
"Did you get the girl?" Mrs. Yukino still smiled, but there was a hint of teasing in her smile.
Oda Shingo quickly corrected: "It's not that it's done, but it's that the career goals have been emphasized again."
Why did Mrs. Yukino show no signs of jealousy? This made him feel a little depressed.
No matter what, it’s still important to draw comics.
Mrs. Yukino noticed the gift box and looked at it carefully.
Then she smiled and said to Oda Shingo: "It's really worthwhile for me to join your studio."
Oda Shingo also felt honored.
Soon, Oda Shingo sorted out the ideas for the new manga.
He called the three women over.
"Everyone, are you ready? We are about to start a new journey!" Oda Shingo took out the comic plan he had already written, "The name of the new comic is "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"! And the serialization method is very special!"
After Oda Shingo explained slowly, the three women were stunned.
W-what? Serialize the third part first?
What does it mean?
The story starts halfway, is there any other way to do this?
