Chapter 253: You can’t rely on a rich woman if you want to animate it
"By the way, you went to the Springfield Bookstore headquarters a few days ago. Did Springfield Sadako say anything about me?" Mrs. Yukino's words after dinner stunned Oda Shingo.
She said it quite casually, as if she didn't care about it casually.
"..." Oda Shingo's mind was spinning rapidly.
"You hesitated, so there's no need to answer." Mrs. Yukino smiled.
When Oda Shingo heard what she said, he immediately understood.
Both are smart people. If Oda Shingo can answer immediately, it is most likely true. But after hesitating, he answered. It was obvious that he had considered it, and it was most likely that it had been tampered with. There was no need to listen.
Such a woman is so smart. Oda Shingo looked at Mrs. Yukino and thought to himself, how many skill points do you have? How come your looks and IQ are so high?
Oda Shingo doesn't know yet, but his figure points and lifespan points are also very high...
After being quiet for a while, Mrs. Yukino suddenly took the manuscript of "Spy's House" and turned to Oda Shingo and said: "Oda-kun, your manga is actually very suitable for animation."
"How do you say it?" Oda Shingo was shocked, but he still asked.
"Many scenes in this comic would be better if animated, especially Aniya's expression. Although Todo Koucho's brushwork cannot be fully expressed, from your notes on the detailed drawing requirements, we can see this little guy's expression. The expression is definitely one of the highlights of the work.”
"I think you are complimenting me." Oda Shingo said, but he was even more surprised in his heart.
Is Mrs. Yukino so proficient in anime carrier standards? I really looked down on her.
"I have carefully read your comic story. It is quite good." Mrs. Yukino put the setting book on the table with both hands.
The comic plot of "Spy's House" is based on ignoring some logic and highlighting contradictions and fun.
The male protagonist is an outstanding spy, codenamed "Twilight".
Having completed countless difficult tasks, he has now received an extremely difficult task, which is to get closer to a certain political goal.
The way to get close is to the target's son's school fraternity, which means sending a child to the school...
Just adopt a child. As a result, the girl Aniya received was an expressive girl with the ability to read minds.
The school's weird tradition also requires both parents, so the protagonist needs to have a wife as soon as possible.
On the other side, the heroine Joel is a professional killer codenamed "Princess of Thorns."
Because she was constantly bullied and teased by her colleagues, and she had to make up for the problems in talking to her brother, she desperately needed a boyfriend (who unexpectedly became a husband).
In the clothing store, the two parties hit it off.
A spy husband, a female killer wife, and a daughter with super powers form a weird family that plays house.
"Does Mrs. Yukino want to invest in the animation of this work?" Oda Shingo was a little cautious.
The original comic's performance on Earth is excellent, but it can only be considered a high level of popularity.
But after the animation, the response was very good, and the popularity immediately exploded, so the comic was emboldened to have the words "Awesome Release" printed on it.
But in fact, many people believe that the level of comics is actually higher than animation. Even Oda Shingo himself stands on this judgment.
Unfortunately, the base of people who read comics is still relatively weaker than animation.
Comics and animation still complement each other, especially the comic-adapted animation, which is obvious in the sales of comics, and it is easy to feel that animation has driven the comics.
For example, the first volume of the comic "Spy's House" sold only a few hundred thousand in its first week. As an excellent comic, this can only be considered a good one, not a hit.
However, after the first season of the animation came out, the number of comic prints immediately exceeded one million, quickly reaching an average sales volume of 2.8 million per volume.
Although it is not a nationally popular comic, its results are definitely dazzling.
With such an obvious animation-driven effect, the distribution department of Shueisha's "Shōnen Jump+" will definitely be willing to call the SPY×FAMILY production committee their godfather.
"...You want me to animate your work?" Mrs. Yukino listened to Oda Shingo's words and looked at him with beautiful eyes.
The look was inquiring but also a bit teasing, and Oda Shingo was a little embarrassed by the look.
"Ahem, aren't my works animated enough?"
"No, I think it's enough, and a club should contact you. But what you mean is that you want me to come..." Mrs. Yukino said half of her words. What the wife said seemed a bit like holding a pipa and half-hiding her face. It means: Do you want me to animate you?
Oda Shingo's face turned red. Why did he feel like he was being flirted with by his wife?
Fortunately, Mrs. Yukino did not hesitate to embarrass him, and said smoothly: "If you really have a work that I like very much, I will take the initiative to buy the animation rights from you."
"Okay!" Oda Shingo quickly agreed.
At this point, he began to make some calculations in his mind. What kind of work could interest Mrs. Yukino and make her like it very much?
From Dragon Ball to Naruto, and from Bleach to One Piece, Oda Shingo felt that the four major migrant comics were not enough to satisfy Mrs. Yukino.
Wait, maybe the pacing of that movie is so slow, but it became an instant hit after being animated, and even spawned countless new memes...
Just when she thought of this, Mikami Yuko banged her fist on the table.
Everyone in the studio looked over.
"Ah, I'm rude! I'm sorry!" Mikami Yuko quickly stood up and bowed continuously, then excitedly raised a drawing with both hands in front of everyone's curious eyes, "Oda-sensei, it's done! It's finally done!"
That was the last shot of Egypt destroying Dio in "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure".
Oda Shingo stepped forward solemnly and took the drawing with both hands. Although it is only the last draft, it represents the completion of a one-season comic.
"Congratulations, Mikami-kun, this is the first manga you have drawn!" Oda Shingo smiled.
Mikami Yuko was very excited, with some tears shining in her big eyes.
"Thank you Oda-sensei!"
She bowed deeply.
Bang——
One head was pressed against Oda Shingo's stomach.
"Ah! I'm sorry, sorry, sorry!"
Oda Shingo held his stomach and took a few steps back: "Recheck it three more times before it is finalized!"
"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Yuko Mikami hurried over to help Oda Shingo rub her belly.
In a panic, the moment she reached out to touch his abdomen, her feet slipped!
Because Oda Shingo was hunched over, his already petite hand suddenly inserted through the gap between his belt and shirt!
"..." At this moment, Yuko Mikami's eyes were as wide as bells, and her ears were as straight as antennas, but she couldn't make a sound.
Mikami Yuko didn't sleep well all night...
The next day, Springfield Bookstore officially announced:
[The first part of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" will be completed in this issue! 230 pages special offer! 】
The comics world was shocked.
Is this a completed comic? JOJO was released not long ago, right?
Counting on your fingers, it’s more than two months!
Although it is only the first one, it seems that every issue is updated with more pages...
Yes, this guy Oda Shingo is too perverted!
Each serial issue has more than 100 pages, which is almost the number of a single book!
Is this Demon King of the Sixth Heaven going to kill his colleagues?
However, comic fans are shouting for joy and eagerly awaiting the arrival of Thursday.
Finally on Thursday, a new issue of "champion" was released, and the masthead indeed announced the completion of the first season of JOJO in large letters.
It was sold out as soon as it was launched, and sales exploded!
