Chapter 228 Japanese People Beg for a Japanese Version of the Comics!
"The animation industry is really boring recently..."
Ichiro opened the manga website and muttered to himself with some emotion.
He is the editor of Jump, the most popular comic book magazine in the island country.
As a practitioner.
He could clearly feel that the island country's comics were declining in recent years.
The golden age once created by works such as Dragon Ball and Yu Yu Hakusho has passed.
Along with the closing pen of these old comic book immortals.
The comics industry in the island country has long been in decline.
Excellent comic works are becoming increasingly rare.
Not even just normal comics, even some adult comics are not what they used to be.
This makes it a habit for Ichiro to reward himself once a day.
Now I can only find some old classics to reward myself.
Ichiro couldn't understand this.
It stands to reason that with the development of technology, all walks of life should become better.
But the reality is.
Nowadays most industries are starting to get worse.
Instead of progress, we have regressed.
It was difficult for Ichiro to understand, so he shook his head, put away the tissues, and opened the most famous boom comics website in the island country.
boom is the largest comics website in the island country.
Anyone can post their own work on it.
Some excellent cartoonists stand out on the boom website.
Therefore, Ichiro often browses the new books on the website, looking for potential comics or authors, and signs them under his jump company.
Ichiro first found a few new comics in the new library.
But just after seeing the first page, Ichiro frowned and clicked X.
The painting is terrible.
It's almost like a primary school student's graffiti.
My grandma with Parkinson's disease painted better than them.
Some people can't even draw basic characters well, but they dare to draw comics.
The threshold for cartoonists nowadays is really low.
While he was thinking about it, he saw a work called "desecrate" in the new library.
The cover of this work is exquisite and eye-catching among the new books.
It's simply not on the same level.
On the cover of this work, there are angels, elves, dragons, and knights.
The character paintings are particularly eye-catching.
Let Ichiro's eyes light up.
His English was average, so he searched for the meaning of the word first.
"Blasphemy? Interesting title!"
That's right, the English name for blasphemy is not fuck, but desecrate.
Ichiro watched carefully.
This comic is not very popular.
The number of clicks has just exceeded 2,000.
However, the number of messages was quite large, more than a thousand.
Two thousand clicks and one thousand comments show that the quality of this comic is very good.
And Ichiro glanced at the comment area, and most of the comments were complimentary.
"Excellent western fantasy work..."
"This protagonist is too shameless, but I like it!"
"When the protagonist looks at his boss's woman, something doesn't look right in his eyes. Is he trying to have sex with his boss's woman?"
"The female character in this book is really top-notch. Which Riban teacher wrote it?"
"A unique Western fantasy work, recommended to watch! Just prepare tissues before watching. I often open the website www.————.com halfway through the movie."
Such high praise made Ichiro interested.
Could it be that another talented cartoonist has appeared?
If it is true, then he must sign it as soon as possible.
After all, as an editor, if you can sign a top cartoonist.
That will take off straight away.
Editors from masters such as Akira Toriyama, Kishimoto, and Yoshihiro Togashi have become free thanks to the wealth of these masters.
Could it be that the opportunity for his own financial freedom has also come?
He immediately opened the comic and read it.
first timing.
A picture full of Chinese-world fantasy style appeared before Ichiro's eyes.
Just the first painting made Ichiro's eyes light up.
The level of this painter is quite high.
The characters are three-dimensional, the background is detailed, and the experience is full of immersion.
And when Ichiro continued to look, his expression quickly became serious.
If you are an ordinary reader, you will only think that the comics are good, beautiful and exquisite.
But Ichiro is a manga editor.
Can see more things.
This comic is far better than he imagined.
The first is the storyboard...
In the manga world of the island country, the artist recognized as the most perfect storyboard artist is Akira Toriyama, who drew Dragon Ball.
Through reasonable storyboarding.
Make the comic plot and combat process extremely smooth.
This allows readers to have the most relaxing reading experience.
This is something most cartoonists can't do.
But the comic in front of me called desecrate has done it.
Especially when the characters inside are fighting.
There were obviously more than ten people fighting at the same time.
But perfect storyboarding and smooth action.
The entire battle scene is presented to the readers in an easy and unhurried manner, without causing any confusion in the readers.
And not only that, character expressions are also the key to whether a comic is excellent.
Excellent painters can clearly convey the characters' psychological activities to readers through their expressions.
Master Yoshihiro Togashi does this best.
In the comic in front of me, the expressions of the characters are particularly vivid.
It was outlined by the author in just two strokes.
Be it the arrogant attitude of the protagonist and others.
The mercenary's anger when he was humiliated.
Or the female mercenary's shame, anger and murderous intention after being insulted by the protagonist's captive.
All expressed with great clarity.
You can't hide the murderous look in your eyes.
This sentence is clearly expressed in this comic.
The more I watched, the more excited Ichiro became.
The entire comic, from storyboards to characters to rhythm.
Everything is perfect to the extreme.
Let Ichiro even feel that this is the reappearance of a retired comic master.
If this is painted by a newbie.
Then this newcomer is simply too outrageous.
Will directly sweep the entire comic industry.
After reading three episodes, Ichiro was only excited and unfinished.
He immediately checked the author's name.
Want to contact the other party.
He felt if the other party was a disciple of some master.
After all, the opponent's fighting style and storyboard style have the flavor of Dragon Ball.
But the character design and expressions have the style of a full-time hunter.
Could it be that he was a disciple trained by these two masters?
But when the author's name comes into view.
Ichiro's expression was immediately astonished.
"star school!"
Although Ichiro's English is average, he still knows these two simple words.
"Star School?"
"How come you have such a strange pen name?"
"No, it's not Star School, but Star Academy. How is that possible?"
Ichiro reacted at this moment.
Isn't this the Star Academy?
Star Academy is quite famous.
The Star Restaurant in Tokyo has been the most popular restaurant in Ginza in the past two years.
Ichiro had also heard about the news that Xingchen Academy had opened an animation major to allow students to make animations.
But Ichiro didn't pay much attention.
Because he knows Chinese comics very well.
In the past two years, some Chinese comics have also relied on capital to go overseas and enter the comics market in island countries.
But they were all beaten horribly.
Ichiro also read the most popular comic of the other party in the past few years called "One Person Above".
To be honest, if placed in an island country, it would be at the level of ordinary comics.
But in China it is a top comic.
From this point alone, we can see how low the level of Chinese comics is.
Therefore, Ichiro looked down upon Chinese comics.
Naturally, I don’t think that Star Academy can teach any outstanding comic talents.
Not to mention it was a cartoon drawn by a group of students.
What level can this be?
He didn't even bother to look.
Absolute rubbish.
But now, looking at this comic that is almost perfect in every aspect, Ichiro is silent...
It was a little hard for him to accept.
Excited, he searched and paid serious attention to the animation major of Star Academy for the first time.
He soon discovered that there was more than one comic published by Star Academy.
Instead, a total of three anime were released.
It's just that the first two parts are only updated in China.
Ichiro immediately became interested and wanted to know how good the other two comics were.
He believes that the other two comics should be of average quality.
Most of Star Academy's best students were assigned to draw this blasphemous comic in order to become a hit in the global comics market.
Those two were only released in their country, so they were probably very average.
Although you have to jump over the wall to see foreign countries at home, it is very troublesome.
But when looking at domestic websites from abroad, there is no such problem.
Soon, Ichiro searched for the information he wanted on the Chinese Internet.
But when it saw the comic called "*天" for the first time, Ichiro was stunned...
Having never read the original work, he was directly shocked by the shocking picture of the Nine Dragons pulling the coffin.
Although Ichiro only has a partial understanding of Chinese.
But the excellent storyboards, characters, and rhythm of this comic still shocked Ichiro.
No worse than the previous blasphemous comics.
The biggest difference is that the female characters don't seem to be as hot as the female characters in the blasphemous comics.
And then there was another "Dragon*", with its youthful style of painting, which turned the island country's youth comics of the past two years into rubbish in seconds.
Ichilang was stunned in place.
In his heart, there was disbelief and pessimism.
He couldn't understand.
How come Star Students can produce such excellent comics, and there are three of them.
The level of comics produced by Xingchen students is a bit too outrageous, right?
And Star Academy can cultivate such students.
How strong should the teaching staff be?
These three comics.
Ichiro even became pessimistic about the future of the island nation's manga industry.
Their island country has been overtaken by China in too many areas.
Now, is the comics field also facing a crisis?
Are you going to lose your job?
Ichiro's hands were trembling as he typed slowly on the island country's animation forum: "I beg you to help me change the two comics of Star Academy's Zhetian and Dragon Clan..."
"Grateful……"
Although I am worried about the future of the comics industry in the island country.
But the Chinese anime I just watched made Ichiro really itchy.
It comes from learning Japanese and imitating Chinese.
Just like Chinese people who go to island countries and can barely recognize and guess the meaning of some words.
People from the island country can guess a little bit when they read Chinese.
But this made Ichiro even more itchy.
The scenes in the comic "Zhetian" are simply too grand.
The terrifying crocodile gods, the vast Big Dipper star field, and the mysterious ancient forbidden area all make Yishilang yearn for it.
He wants to read the Japanese version to understand the plot in its entirety.
And another comic "Dragon Clan" is also very attractive to Yishilang.
Although this comic looks a bit like Harry Potter.
But the East Asian style of stories and characters are undoubtedly more attractive to Yishilang than Harry Potter.
The mysterious dragon clan, the distant Kassel Academy, and the senior sister Nono who makes the protagonist pretentious.
All make Yishilang curious and want to read the translated version.
But as soon as the post was posted.
Yishilang regretted it a little.
As a comic editor of the largest anime magazine in the island country.
He actually asked for the Chinese version of Huaxia comics on the Internet.
This is simply a shame for the comics industry in the island country.
But after hesitating for a while, Yishilang still did not delete the post.
As for the reason?
Nothing else.
The comics drawn by Xingchen students are really beautiful!
He really, really wanted to see the Japanese version.
…
Yi Chi Lang is an editor of Jump.
He often guides newcomers on the comics forum or shares interesting comics.
His popularity is still not low.
At this moment, Yi Chi Lang suddenly posted a post. Even though it was late at night, it still attracted the attention of many anime fans in the island country with countless otakus.
They thought it was a sharing post at first.
They were very interested to know what excellent new works Editor Yi Chi Lang had found.
As a result, after a careful look at the post.
Netizens were shocked?
Editor Yi Chi Lang was actually asking for the Japanese version of Chinese comics?
? ? ?
Was Yi Chi Lang's account hacked?
After all, what is the level of our island country comics?
What is the level of Chinese comics?
Those who understand will understand.
Even if the island country comics are not as glorious as they were in the past.
But they should not be reduced to reading Chinese comics, right?
Even if they read Korean comics, it is worse than reading Chinese comics, right?
Everyone couldn't understand.
Someone even replied directly below, asking if the account was hacked?
Yishilang hurriedly explained that the comics produced by Xingchen students were of a very high level and the works were very excellent, which attracted him.
But this explanation only brought more doubts.
After all, you are a Jump comics editor. Even if Xingchen students' comics are good, they are not so good that you ask for Japanese versions, right?
So, either the account was hacked or they took money.
Yishilang saw more and more doubts and felt a little headache. He could only copy the link of the blasphemy work immediately and attached a paragraph to reply: "This work is also the work of Xingchen students. You will know why I want to see the Japanese versions of other works!"
After finishing, Yishilang also posted the links of Zhantian and Longzu.
Netizens were skeptical, but they still went to see the blasphemy...
Yishilang's post became quiet.
But it was only quiet for half an hour.
Soon, a large group of netizens returned.
Yishilang looked at the dense number of replies in his backstage and felt a little headache. Could it be that they were questioning whether he was paid again?
If this gets out of hand, will it affect my work?
I should have known better than to post this.
But when Yizhilang clicked on the reply, his expression became strange.
"I also beg for a Japanese version!"
"+1, although it's all in Chinese and I can't understand it, I feel that it's a really grand story. The protagonists travel the stars in bronze coffins, and there are crocodile gods sealed under the palace. It's so exciting..."
"It's so uncomfortable to read without understanding Chinese. I feel like I won't be able to sleep tonight!"
"These comics are too perfect, especially the fighting scenes in them, which make me feel like I've watched Dragon Ball before."
"Desecration is the best fantasy work I've seen in the past two years, no doubt about it ..."
"Is this really drawn by Xingchen students?"
"Xingchen Academy is too amazing, right?"
"Please help me translate the Japanese version!"
"I know a friend in a Chinese subtitle group. I used to send him the original Japanese comics. I want to ask him to help me translate Xingchen Academy comics."
"I also know a Chinese subtitle group. I never thought that one day I would ask them to help translate Chinese comics..."
"Me too. Although I feel very frustrated...but the comics are really good..."
The post was full of praise and amazement.
And the popularity of Blasphemy in the island country has risen rapidly.
Originally, it only received 2,000 hits after three episodes.
Now the hits have quickly exceeded 10,000, and then 100,000...
It has spread throughout the entire comic circle.
The popularity has soared incredibly fast.
In fact, before, a small number of netizens in the island country had seen Blasphemy and felt amazing.
Some even recommended it online.
But ordinary people's recommendation of Amway will have poor results because it has no credibility.
If there are not enough people, it will be even more useless.
But now, because of Yichilang's post.
Blasphemy has become a big hit in the comics industry of the island country.
It even made Zhetian and the Dragon Clan very well-known in the island country.
This is because there is no Chinese version.
Many people can't understand it.
Otherwise, the popularity would definitely be doubled.
...
And the Chinese comics Chinese translation group.
After waking up, looking at the messages sent by their island friends on their phone, they were confused.
His expression changed into an old man looking at his phone.
Could he not have woken up?
A group of islanders actually asked him to help Japaneseize Chinese comics?
Is this true?
For so many years, they have always been the only ones who translated the island comics into Chinese.
When did the islanders become interested in Chinese comics?
They even asked for Chinese translation overnight?
Were their accounts stolen or were they poisoned?
