MTL - Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home-Chapter 572 Lever fine
Chapter 572 Bar fine
The projector is turned on, and a blog post appears on the screen.
Jinhei Horikoshi, a manga artist contracted by Shueisha, currently has a serial work "Battle Star Boy".
「Hi everyone, I'm Horikoshi.
Recently, many people have asked me about my views on the current manga industry. As an old man who has been in the industry for 10 years, I will briefly talk about it here.
Comics these days are really not funny at all—!
The influx of a large number of works with empty content and chaotic structures not only lowered the standard of the comic industry as a whole, but also disrupted the market, making readers' impression of our cartoonists also drop significantly!
Take the recent popular work "Chain Saw Man" as an example. It seems that many young people like this work, which is really incomprehensible.
I also read this work, and I didn’t find it interesting or commendable at all. The only bright spot is the author’s identity as a "high school student manga artist".
Analyzed from the perspective of comics, its style of painting is as simple as a stick figure, without any technical content at all.
Although the character design is a bit new, it is only deliberately designed to look like an anti-routine.
As for the lines? I can only say that it is at a level that even elementary school students can write, and it makes people have no desire to read it.
the most important is-
The three views in the work "Chain Saw Man" are very, extremely distorted!
The protagonist is a beast who only knows how to chase desire, and the content inside is also full of blood and violence!
The manga focuses on the scenes of the protagonist slaughtering other demons and being tortured by other demons. The scenes are as explicit as foreign B-movies!
I don't know what kind of mentality its creators drew this kind of thing.
But since he positioned his work as a youthful manga, didn't he consider that it would have a bad influence on minors?
A person's usual words and deeds can reflect his quality, and the same is true for comics.
It is hard for me to imagine that a normal person can draw such absurd and curious works, which are full of vulgar thoughts and negative energy.
For Mr. Fujimoto, I would like to give some advice to this new manga artist.
Only relying on anti-routine and large-scale to attract readers will not last long.
Showing off gimmicks can allow you to enjoy a temporary bonus, but not a lifetime.
If you don’t study painting skills down-to-earth, learn more and improve yourself, sooner or later you will be abandoned by readers and eliminated by the industry!
Don't say that you don't say it without warning—!

Wait until after reading this blog...
dong~
Ying Lili was so angry that she hammered the table, and said with righteous indignation: "What! What is this man doing? It's simply inexplicable!"
"Can't you see that? Sawamura."
Shi Yu's face was frosty.
"It's just a dying author who is jealous of Yu-chan's achievements and wants to attract attention, so I came here to take advantage of You-chan's popularity."
"Even if this is the case, there is no need to use this method, right? Standing on the commanding heights of morality and blaming others, it's disgusting!"
"I totally agree with this point, that's why I said he's dying, otherwise he wouldn't be free to sell his old age, right?"
"Uh, sorry to interrupt you two..."
An Yilun also weakly raised a hand.
"Beforehand, I'm not trying to speak for outsiders... But that Mr. Horikoshi Jinpei's grades are actually not bad, and his works have sold millions of copies. It shouldn't be described as exaggerated."
"Hey...is that why there are so many people discussing it online?"
Hui nodded slowly in a daze, then started to operate the laptop on the table and switched to the Twitter page.
This is what Kanoko Hasumi brought from the art department for projection for everyone’s convenience.
"In short, let's take a look at these claims on Twitter."
So people turned their attention to the screen again.
On Twitter, the official account of "Shounen Undead" has become a mess.
「Horikoshi-sensei is a veteran manga artist that I have liked since I was a child. I only follow his works on Jump. It’s really interesting!」
"Support Mr. Horikoshi! "Battle Star Kid" is the orthodox kingly boy manga, what kind of **** is "Chain Saw Man"?"
"I wondered, would anyone really like the hero in "The Chainsaw Man"? Isn't that a little hooligan who is loyal to his own desires? Fighting with men just kicks balls, and he is willing to be a dog for women. It's disgusting .”
「No way, no way? No one really likes a hero like Denji, right? No one really thinks the distortion of the three views as a trend, right? (Laughs)」
「Let me just say it clearly, the male protagonist of "The Chainsaw Man" is a brainless and shameless imbecile. There is nothing to admire at all. He just keeps causing trouble for others.」
「In comparison, how good is the hero of "Battle Star Boy"?
Although it was a bit weak at the beginning, but at the critical moment, it has a brave and willing to protect others, and you can see the growth of the characters.
But what about "The Chainsaw Man"?
Eating, rubbing breasts, sleeping with women, wanting to show off, does he have other goals besides these? "
"Mr. Horikoshi is still too gentle to speak. The author who can draw a manga like "Chain Saw Man" must have a psychological problem, or else he has an anti-social personality. It is recommended to treat it as soon as possible."
「To be fair, the hero of "The Chainsaw Man" does have problems, but considering his life experience, it is quite normal.
We can be a little more tolerant to him, so I chose to watch "Battle Star Kid", which is also a hot-blooded young man, at least there are no licking dogs who can take care of men's lives. (Bye-Bye
「With this **** manga and **** painting style, it can still sell 100 million? It’s really incomprehensible.」
…
The comments on the screen are all expressing dissatisfaction.
Different from the heyday in the past, the current "Chain Saw Man" seems to have become a street mouse, and everyone shouts to beat him.
Looking at it, people couldn't help but gloomy.
"Okay, that's too much...!" Izumi HASHIMA covered her mouth with both hands, ready to cry.
"This is already a personal attack!" Ying Lili slapped the table angrily.
"Huh... just calm down, Sawamura."
Shiyu analyzed calmly.
"Even if we get angry here, it won't have the slightest effect on those people on the Internet.
The correct approach should be to find out their details first, and it is best to find out their school, home address or work list..."
"—Don't say it, don't say it, senior sister!"
An Yilun also yelled: "It means that your thinking has gradually developed in a dangerous direction!"
"…strangeness."
Kanoko Hasami asked puzzledly: "I remember that Kato-kun seems to have a lot of readers, right? Is there no one to help speak up? Megumi."
"Hmm... I'll look for it... Ah, there it is."
"Are you people sick? If you like watching "Battle Star Boys", go over there and blow it. What does it mean to come to Undead River?"
「The author is not a god. It is impossible to draw a work that everyone likes. If you don’t like it, just don’t read it. Is it necessary to spray like this?」
"That is to say, these two works have completely different worldviews! Is there any comparison?"
"The above is right, you can just watch whatever you like, there is no need to make comparisons, and there is no need to make personal attacks. Everyone is a nerd who likes comics, so it's better to be more harmonious."
「Come to other people’s territory to ride face output, are you trying to provoke a jihad?」
It is a pity.
The comments from the readers of "Chain Saw Man" did not bring peace, but made the opposite party worse.
「I (Д≡д) bah,
With this **** painting style and mentally handicapped plot, how dare you call it a comic? "
「The original author is a shabi, the publisher is a shabi, readers who like this kind of comics are also a shabi.」
"Laughing to death, what about jihad, you group of elementary school students are also worthy?"
“What exactly is this author painting? What is the psychology of those who follow this work? If all the works in the future are such **** works, the industry will sooner or later get rid of them.”
Scroll down a few pages, all are similar remarks.
Often when a comment has just been posted, the other side will immediately reply with strong words.
Being affected, even some passers-by couldn't help but say a few words.
"It's so annoying. I usually don't like to read comics, but my friends around me are talking about "Chain Saw Man" recently. If I don't read it, I won't be able to keep up with the topic. I'm in trouble."
"That's right. By the way, this is already harassment by a chainsaw, right? I'm going to school, not talking about manga."
…
"Ah! I can't take it anymore!"
Ying Lili was furious and said: "What about the people in Undead River? Are they just letting their signature authors be scolded like this? Is there no one to take care of it or delete comments?"
"..."
Yusuke Kato looked calm, but he also felt a little puzzled in his heart.
After all, the two parties have always cooperated happily, and logically speaking, this situation should not happen...
Right at this moment, his cell phone rang suddenly.
"Editor Suzuki"
The name of the caller is displayed on the screen.
Yusuke Kato made a voice-receiving gesture to everyone, then pressed the answer button and switched it to speaker playback, and put the phone on the table.
"Good morning, Editor-in-Chief Suzuki."
Some noisy voices came from the earpiece.
"Good morning, Fujimoto-sensei...! With all due respect, do you know what happened on the Internet? If not, you don't want to..."
"Well, you're talking about the fact that someone played the rhythm on the Internet and slandered "The Chainsaw Man"? I'm watching it now."
The words of the old editor-in-chief who was robbed froze for a moment, and then he smiled bitterly, "So, you already know..."
The other party paused, and then continued.
"Well, now that you know, I won't hide it from you. Basically, that Horikoshi Jinpei-sensei is indeed targeting you."
"Editor, do you know the reason?"
"Hmm... If there is no accident, it should be that the release date of the other party and your booklet happened to coincide, and then I heard that the sales there did not seem to be very good, so I deliberately found fault."
Before Kato Yusuke could respond, Shiwa grabbed the topic.
"Hello, editor-in-chief Suzuki, I'm Kasumi Shiko."
"...Huh, Teacher Xia Shizi?"
"I'm sorry to be rude. May I ask, how do you plan to deal with the remarks against Yu-chan on the Internet?
By the way, before you called, we had been doing a lot of trash talking on our side for a long time. You shouldn't let Yu-chan continue to be scolded like this, right? "
"Uh... Teacher Xia Shizi, please don't worry."
The old editor-in-chief's tone was full of helplessness.
"Actually, our editorial department has been fully engaged in this matter, and everyone is busy deleting those comments...
However, you and Fujimoto-sensei also understand the situation on our side. It is really a serious shortage of manpower in our manga department.
To tell you the truth, now even the daughter of my distant cousin is called by me to help. "
"Even so—"
Shiwa wanted to say something more, but Kato Yusuke gently pulled down his sleeve to stop her.
"...Yu-chan?"
"Okay, Shiba-senpai, editor-in-chief Suzuki and the others also have their own difficulties."
"Mr. Fujimoto, I wish you could understand!" The old editor-in-chief said with a headache.
"The main reason is that I suspect that someone from "Shounen Jump" is secretly making trouble. In addition, several other cartoonists also praised Horikoshi Jinhei and expressed their support.
They have too many readers, and our editorial department alone can't cope with it. "
"Other cartoonists...?"
Kato Yusuke murmured, and heard a girl's voice faintly in the next second.
"...Uncle Suzuki, what's going on here? Can you come here?"
"Come here—! I'm sorry, Mr. Fujimoto, let's do this first. Anyway, don't worry, we will try our best to deal with this matter!"
"Well, then I will trouble everyone."
After making a guarantee that was not a guarantee, the old editor-in-chief hung up the phone in a hurry.
As soon as Yusuke Kato put away his phone, Shiwa immediately asked:
"Yu-chan, how do you plan to deal with the turmoil on the Internet? If this continues, it will affect you to some extent."
Not only her, the other friends also looked dignified.
After the bad news delivered by the old editor-in-chief, the atmosphere in the conference room was very heavy.
"..."
Kato Yusuke looked around and said softly: "Okay, don't be so heavy. There is nothing to care about this kind of thing, we just need to do our own thing well."
"Huh? What are you talking about!"
Ying Lili stomped her feet anxiously, "Obviously everyone else treats you like this, why are you still so unhurried!"
"...About this, didn't you say it just now? It's just a bunch of trolls and trolls, nothing to care about."
"It was just now, and now is now! Besides, the situation is obviously different now. Didn't several cartoonists boycott you together?"
"I don't think there is any difference. Besides, it's meaningless to be angry with these people. If I explain it now, it will only make them more energetic. Let them vent their emotions."
Yusuke Kato had a calm face, as stable as Mount Tai.
After all, those who fanned the flames on the Internet were nothing more than seeing him in the limelight and feeling jealous and jealous.
This kind of sour grapes mentality can be found everywhere, and it is really not worth mentioning.
Not to mention that arguing with these people is meaningless, and the other party will not stop attacking because of his response, but will only become more pretentious that he cares about them.
But in fact?
That's just a bunch of incompetent and raging garbage men.
No matter how fiercely they scolded him, it didn't affect him making money in the end.
As for proving yourself?
Yusuke Kato also felt that it was not necessary.
After all, it is more practical to make a fortune with a muffled voice than to make a big tree attract the wind.
So there's really no need to respond, it's just a waste of time.
He thinks so.
Others couldn't help but look at each other.
