Gotta Go the Healing Route

Friendship is an indispensable element of Wang Daoman, and the shaping of friendship fetters is reflected in the relationship between characters.

The shaping of this kind of fetters can be described as the top priority.

Take the plot of the dead man's knife as an example. If the knife is sharp enough to stab the reader's heart with one blow, the first thing to do is to shape the image of the dead man.

The fuller the image of the dead person, the more the audience will love it and impress it deeply, and the better the effect will be when the knife is used.

What Kazama Xi is doing now is to repeat Fujimoto's behavior before the onset of the disease, and use these current plots to make the characters plump.

Although, this inexplicably feels like fattening the pigs before killing them.

Heck, you can't say that.

Kazama Xi has always called herself a "soldier of love", and naturally she did not do this to torture readers.It should be said that these are all paving the way for more touching stories in the future.

In short, for "The Chainsaw Man", because of the current steady progress of the story, readers are temporarily in a state of peace of mind.Although there are not enough explosive points yet, the popularity accumulated before still allows Xi Kazama to stabilize Xiaozheng's performance in the top six.

This is actually what some readers are happy to see.

You know, when "The Chainsaw Man" was first serialized, some people speculated whether there would be another sudden death in this new work.

After all, Kazama Xi had a criminal record.You must know that "Magic Circle" directly arranged a classic scene where the senior sister turned around in the fifth episode.

But until the ninth chapter, everything is normal, except that the characters are very novel, and the style is slightly different from the general kingly manga, the story runs according to the normal rhythm.

After all, this is a royal manga...

In the eyes of most comic readers at present, Wang Dao comics are always full of hope, although they are accompanied by difficulties and obstacles.

Although the protagonist's character is a bit biased towards evil thinking and behavior, the framework of the king's way is like a lock, which firmly locks some dark things.

Well, that's right, that's it...

By the ninth chapter, many readers who have been ravaged by Yubie to the old thief's claws have begun to truly believe that the old thief should have reformed his evil ways this time, at least in this new serialized work by Juvenile Jump.

This is the current situation on the "Chain Saw Man" side.And "Flame Fist" in the new magazine Youth Jump created by Kitaoka Akira is another scene.

PS: I fell asleep while writing, my head hurts, I will revise it later.

Chapter 190 Reader Impressions

Although Kazama Xi is now known in the circle as the pillar of the evil way, but strictly speaking, among the works copied by Kazama Xiwen, only "Flame Fist" can be regarded as the orthodox evil work.

Different from other commercial comics, Evil Dao has been labeled as a minority since its birth.And it is precisely because of the small audience that it can get rid of the cumbersome plots of the general public and present a unique and spicy story.

Of course, it is precisely because of the deviation from the public that the competitiveness of orthodox and evil comics is always inferior to that of the opposite, the youthful kingly and hot-blooded comics.

However, the pros and cons of evil ways and kingly ways, the quality of a work is not determined by popularity.Popularity is only related to the audience and the platform.

It is very difficult for orthodox and evil ways to stand out in the base camp of kingly manga like Boy Jump.

But in Youth Jump, a new publication founded by Kitaoka Akira, the situation is just the opposite.The platform for youth comics and the positioning of the magazine's audience have already screened out the readers.

Young people are no different than teenagers, both mentally and receptivity have reached a higher level, and the stories they pursue are completely different.It can be said that this platform itself is prepared for the comics of the evil way.In this way, Kazama Xi had a lot less worries about taking out "Flame Fist".

The opening of "Flame Fist" is to play the real thing.

Under the background of the end of the world, the atmosphere of the story is extremely depressing from the beginning.

If the magic circle still has the daily foreshadowing in the early stage, then the so-called daily life of "Flame Fist", apart from the first glimpse of the brother and sister getting along warmly at the beginning of the first chapter, the follow-up is endlessly heavy.

The main line is revealed in the first episode. This is a story of revenge, at least on the surface.

However, even if the theme is revenge, what is reflected in the story is not the hearty anger of the protagonist Agni, but the despair and numbness unique to the theme of the end of the world.

The target of Agni's revenge is the force in the background of the end of the world, the city of Besimdruk.

In this resource-depleted world, the survival of Beicheng is based on the corpses of countless people.Soldiers in Beicheng robbed food and captured slaves everywhere.

Male slaves in Bay City have to work all their lives until they die, while female slaves are used as reproductive machines for the rest of their lives.

If well-wishers with superpowers work hard, their situation will only be more miserable than death.

These well-wishers will be captured and taken to factories as 'firewood', which are actually human batteries that use their abilities to power the city.

They had their legs or hands cut off, made into sticks and imprisoned in small factories.The machines would produce pain, and through this stimulation, they would squeeze their abilities.

For these firewood, all they can do is pray for the blessings of the gods.It's not that they are longing for the gods to rescue them from this hell, but they are longing for the ability to die.

To live is a curse, to die is a blessing.

Compared with these three types of slaves, the real masters of Beicheng, the soldiers, were different.

To soldiers, they are truly human beings.They can deal with slaves at will, the reason is that slaves are firewood, but they just happen to look like people.

The spread of the background and setting allows the depressive atmosphere of the story to spread unceasingly.

Unlike Kazama Xi's previous works, because the death of the characters will feel sad, the current story is simply depressing.

Relying on Fujimoto's wonderful character creation and atmosphere, "Fist of Fire" vividly shows the scene of the end of the world.

This different time and space is not a work without the apocalyptic wasteland, but it is different from the cognitive changes brought about by the collapse of order and the protagonist's struggle to survive in other wasteland works.

What "Flame Fist" embodies is numbness, complete numbness after accepting the loss of everything.And behind this numbness, there is an inexplicable absurdity and madness.

It is different from "Chain Saw Man" because of the slow pace in the early stage, which led to a slight decline in performance.As the well-deserved pillar of the new magazine Youth Jump, "Flame Fist" firmly occupies the first place in the readers' interest questionnaire.

Even now.The story that unfolds is somewhat depressing and has nothing to do with 'fun'.But because of the excellent sense of atmosphere: the indifferent beings and the absurd and crazy world that have lost the sense of boundaries between life and death.The reputation of this work is quite good.

Needless to say, painting skills, after receiving the influence of movies, Fujimoto combined his talent to apply smooth movie-style mirroring in his works, so Yanquan can show a strong performance effect through this smart mirroring .This kind of painting skills, Kazama Xi also inherited it with her golden fingers, showing off her skills without hesitation.

Professional comic critics in the circle are full of praise, thinking that Yubie is determined to break through himself: "Chain Saw Man" is a breakthrough in the transformation of manga comics, while "Flame Fist" is a breakthrough to get rid of commercialization, A breakthrough towards purely heretical works.

This is the transformation of the works, and it is also the transformation of personal style. What kind of Yubiechao's style will become in these two new works is also what people in the circle are looking forward to.

Although "Flame Fist" was serialized later than "Chain Saw Man", it has already reached the eighth chapter.

In terms of the main story, Agni killed the soldiers of Bei City all the way, went to Bei City, and was captured by Juda, the actual ruler of Bei City and also the well-wisher of regeneration ability.

Surprisingly, the Bay City ruler looks exactly like Agni's sister, Luna.

This added a bit of waves to the overall depressing story, and many readers began to speculate on what Agni's journey of revenge would become.

After all, the target of revenge, the leader of Beicheng, is almost the rebirth of his sister from the appearance.Will Agni, who embarked on a journey of revenge for his sister, be able to catch Yoda?

What's more, some readers speculate that Agni's sister is actually not dead. After all, Luna is also a regenerative person, and resurrection is really possible.

As for why Yoda doesn't know Agni anymore, can you add the bloody setting of amnesia?

For this conjecture, there are mixed voices of approval and denial.

The voice of negation comes from readers who have suffered at the hands of Kazama Xi.

You know, the headless corpse of Senior Sister Moyuan is still hanging there.At the end of the story of the magic circle, the seniors didn't come back to life, so how could a man with no feelings like the old thief pull the dead out again.Not to mention the person closest to the protagonist.

The voice of approval comes from the readers who are already fascinated by Kazama Xi's style.They will not naively think that the old thief will give hope and salvation for no reason.

That's right, even if the younger sister was resurrected, the purpose would only be to let the two fall in love and kill each other, and then let the younger sister die a second time.This kind of frenzied plot is the most suitable for the old thief Yubiechao.

Chapter 190 IX Animation Decision

In short, the current serialization of "Flame Fist" and "Chain Saw Man" is generally stable.It's not like when Kazama Yuki debuted and drew "Death Note" fluctuated like that, and it's not like the period when "Magic Circle" was serialized, which was criticized daily in the early stage.

Of course, this is also a proof that Kazama Xi's popularity has stabilized now.

At the rhythm point of the two comics, before the amazing turning point, readers will silently follow and offer their support.

However, compared to the current calm of the manga series, Kazama Xi's affairs in other aspects have appeared turbulent again.

However, it is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it should be said to be the best thing for creators.

At the end of September, the decision to animate Kazama Xi's work had already been made.

As a well-deserved leader in the comics circle in the media field, Shueisha has always maintained a very close cooperative relationship with major animation production companies.

Shueisha has an animation quota in its hands, and every once in a while, it will pass a resolution to animate a manga.

This is also an opportunity for Shueisha to expand its influence.It is a channel to expand influence from paper media to film and television media.

For the creators themselves, the animation of their own works is undoubtedly a matter of great significance.

This not only represents another great harvest of fame and fortune, but also represents another big step up in the class pyramid of cartoonists.

You must know that apart from Xiaozheng’s ranking and the sales volume of the booklet, the most simple and direct way to rank cartoonists is whether or not the work is animated.

Being able to animate represents a kind of recognition of his works.

For example, Wu Shanyun, who debuted at the same time as Feng Jianxi, her "The Bond of the Lingzhu" has already confirmed the animation decision one step ahead, and is now in the formal production of animation.

Compared with Wushan Yun's influence, Feng Jianxi had already reached the standard.However, because of the popular nature of Wangdao comics, he was slower than Wu Shanyun when it came to animation decisions.

However, this is also a matter of course, and it will happen sooner or later.

...........

Compared with Yu Kazama, who was in a good mood when he learned about the animation of his work, but didn't show it in words, his editor Aster Uemura was much more excited.

The animation of works is not only the layering of cartoonists, but also the layering of editors.For example, the gold medal editors of Shueisha basically have the merits of bringing out cartoonists who realize animation.This kind of gold medal editor also has a particularly high status in the editorial department of Shueisha.

As a newcomer in the editorial world, why wouldn't Aster Uemura be ecstatic when the animation of Kazama Yuki's work was decided?

When this decision was made, the editorial department quickly came to a conclusion about the animation of Yu Kazama's work.

It's not Yu Kazama's debut work "Death Note", but Yu Kazama's second work, "Magic Girl Madoka Magica".

Knowing that Shueisha chose "Magic Circle" instead of dead pen, Xi Kazama was a little surprised at first, but he quickly realized the reason and thought of the reason.

After all, during the serialization period of the dead pen, an incident occurred that imitated the behavior of the protagonist in the story, which caused a wave of social impact.Although the matter was calmed down in the end, Shueisha and those production companies still have some concerns.

But the magic circle is different. Although the storyline was once criticized in the later stage, at least it will not have the adverse effect of spoiling young people.

The animation resolution was passed very smoothly, and none of the senior editors at the meeting had any opinions and agreed unanimously.After all, the quality and achievements of "Magic Circle" are all there.

And the entrusted production company acted quite quickly, and they came to the door directly in early October.

............

"Hello, Mr. Kazama."

The middle-aged man handed over his business card with a warm smile.

The hard paper card with black letters on a white background has the owner's name written on it, as well as the company and position he belongs to.

The man's name is Gao Muliang, and the production company he belongs to is RISESUN.
