Chapter 229: Oda Family Crest, Hang It Up!
"Parasite" is set in another world on Earth. Although it has only won a few awards, the awards are not low, and the audience of anime fans is very wide.
After that, the IP sold quite well. Not only did the animation achieve great results, but the movie box office was also quite good. And 34 years later, a TV series in the form of a sequel was released, and the ratings were not low.
What’s funnier is that in some countries this comic was blacklisted, and the comic book was completely removed from the shelves. This also caused the Dongli edition of the complete works to suddenly triple in price, especially the color edition, which was hard to find.
However, the live-action movie was introduced by different departments, and the box office was not bad, and it became a good talk among comic fans. Once someone talks about it, everyone will laugh happily.
Therefore, Oda Shingo has full confidence in "Parasite".
Although most comic magazines did not announce the news, many stores did not even display promotional prints.
However, when comic fans visit bookstores, they can easily recognize "Parasite" among many comics.
The characters are so obvious!
Among a bunch of fleshy and soft covers, Izumi Shinichi with his elongated arms catches the eye!
Well, he does have eyeballs on his hands!
"Parasite Beast actually released a single book?!"
"Why didn't anyone say anything?"
The manga Gosan Family's silent ban on Oda Shingo has led to many manga fans not knowing that the stand-alone book set is coming.
But through word of mouth and comics fans posting photos on the Internet, more and more book fans are starting to buy.
Soon, Oda Shingo posted a message on YouTube.
[Celebrating the release of the single book "Parasite"! 】
This detonated the market even more!
Comic fans suddenly realized: "Nani? I didn't know!"
More people are flocking to physical bookstores.
Totally sold out!
There are constant phone calls between bookstores.
"Hello? Do you have any goods there? Bring me some!"
"Don't even think about it! My place has been booked a long time ago."
Bookstores everywhere are in panic.
"Stop joking, the first printing of 200,000 sets was prepared and all of a sudden they were gone?"
"They're all sold out! The door is blocked! They're making trouble!"
"Minister, it's not enough, it's not enough at all, it's not enough at all!"
Springfield Bookstore usually only prints 100,000 copies of a single book.
It had long been known that Oda Shingo's works were very popular, and he had already doubled his circulation. Why isn't it enough?
And it didn’t happen within a week, but it was out of stock in less than two days!
The offline sales of the "Parasite Beast" set exceeded 200,000 sets in one and a half days!
In Yahoo’s medieval online auction, the price of the single volume set of "Parasite" is three times the selling price!
"Please give me a set of "Parasite Beast"!"
"Mina-san, does anyone have a single volume set of Oda-sensei's "Parasite Beast"?!"
"I can't buy it! Not to mention the single volume, even the serialized issues of "Jump" are out of stock!"
This "Parasite" comic began to take off in the physical market and on the Internet.
Many big Vs and anchors have noticed.
However, many people understand the rules.
Be silent! Can't say anything! It was so unbearable for them!
However, after all, there are big Vs or anchors who are not in the Yusanjia system.
[Share the single book set of "Parasite Beast"! Get it at triple the price! 】A YouTube master played the video.
As the anchor explained, comic fans became excited.
[Wow! Great print! ]
[Not recycled paper! ]
[The paper weight is amazing! Printing is also good! Definitely worth collecting! ]
At this time, not to mention the new "Parasite" products in physical stores, even the second-hand ones from Yahoo! are completely out of stock.
The comic unboxing video has been viewed more than 1 million times!
This video is definitely a hit in Japan’s YouTube physical comics category.
"Are there any Oda Shingo comics left?!"
"I want "One Punch Man" too!"
"Comic fans who can't buy "Parasite" usually buy his related works instead!"
"What, are you still turning over?! Do you have money that you don't want to make? If you don't make money, let us make it!"
This is the sentence that the bookstore owner yells most often in the past few days.
Yusanjia's supply points, including Qunyingshe, have been scolded by their store owners.
Since it is a silent ban, the supply chain of Yusanjia has naturally cut off the supply of Oda Shingo's physical books.
Springfield Bookstore and other non-Yusan bookstores are extremely busy.
There are constant operations such as printing, distributing, and notifying arrival of goods, and some shop owners don't even sleep a wink for a day or two.
This makes people jealous!
This is not the golden age of physical publications in the last century. Many bookstores are barely making ends meet.
As a result, the bookstore owners under Yusanjia stopped working.
Physical bookstores have had a hard time in the past, but now there is finally a popular product, and you still can’t supply it? !
Although the operation of bookstores is under direct jurisdiction in many places, the consequences of sales performance must be borne by the store owners!
When asked ten times by comic fans, they can still bear it.
When comic fans ask this question a hundred times, they can’t sit still.
When comic fans asked it a thousand times, the Buddha became popular!
Under Qunyingshe, some non-direct store owners began to sell goods without authorization.
Passed goods are common in China, especially in different sales areas. It is not easy to deal with on the surface, but it is done secretly.
It is relatively rare in Japan, but it is not non-existent.
Especially for books and periodicals, unlike high-end luxury goods or sensitive items such as tobacco, some private shops do not have detailed records of receipts and payments.
"Now is the end of the law for physical publications! Do you know how difficult it is for us? We are so eager to have people buy books, how can we care about where to get the goods?" A shop owner protested to the delivery staff of Qunyingshe.
Silent ban, it is not easy to quarrel about this matter.
So, we can only pretend that we didn't see it.
"But, the words of Oda Shingo are not allowed to appear!" Someone reminded secretly, which contained a warning.
Okay, the words of Oda Shingo are not hung on the front of the store, and the author's name is also on the books and periodicals, so it is not good to put them outside to attract customers.
Then, let's hang something that others can understand at a glance! The shop owners are not stupid.
Hanging a sign has always been a tradition of Japanese shops, and a parasitic beast doll was hung out.
Business immediately came in!
But it was tragic, the doll was stolen in less than an hour...
"Fuck you! They stole even a doll! Oh, it seems to be quite expensive." The shop owner was worried.
Hey, Oda Shingo... Let's hang Oda Nobunaga's characteristic items! The smart shop owner slapped his forehead.
So, the cover of the papaya family crest of the Oda family during the Warring States Period was hung out!
The effect was quite good, and the fans understood it at a glance!
However, the bookstore supplier of the three major families saw the family crest of the Sixth Heaven Demon King while inspecting the situation, and immediately vomited blood...
They vomited blood, but Oda Shingo was as steady as an old dog, and began to deploy counterattacks step by step.
A two-story studio.
"Fudou-kun." Oda Shingo looked at the online public opinion and the data statistics of the physical store and made a new action decision.
"Oda-kun, what's wrong?" Fujidou Kacheng now changed his name for him, and has become a closer Oda-kun.
But it's just between Shingo, who is in Namikaze Yuzuru, and Mr. Oda of Mikami Yuko...
They have a very good understanding, and it feels like first come first served.
Only Mrs. Yukino, the way she addresses Shingo Oda depends entirely on the situation, or even on her mood at the moment.
Shingo Oda calls out to Fujido Kacheng: "After this issue is released, I will appoint you as the Grand Admiral of the Navy!"
The three great families headed by Qun Ying Sha dare to silently ban me?
Ridiculous!
The time for a counterattack is ripe!
"Grand Admiral of the Navy? Why?" Fujido Kacheng clumsily repeated the term.
Although the Japanese are familiar with the Three Kingdoms, they are not used to the title.
"Aren't you good at water?"
"Ah?" Fujido Kacheng was stunned, tilted his head and thought for a while, and didn't know where he was thinking. He made a sound to Shingo Oda and said in a low voice: "hentai!"
Looking at Shingo Oda's eyebrows, his eyes were watery.
