Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?

The circulation volume of Japanese local comics is much larger than that of China. After all, it is the heyday of comics and has a strong consumer market base.

The circulation of single volumes, as far as Springfield Bookstore's distribution channels are concerned, means supplying to thousands of bookstores, totaling about 100,000 copies. This is called distribution volume.

A single book usually prints 130,000 copies, but no more than 150,000 copies. Timely replenishment will be carried out based on market feedback. If the market response is very good, additional printing will be carried out.

Of course, popular comic books will have hundreds of thousands or even millions of copies printed and sold. For example, the shipment volume of the final volume of "Demon Slayer" on Earth reached nearly 4 million copies.

For national-level comics, the cumulative number of volumes can reach tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

It’s just that it’s a big IP monster that only comes out once every three years on average.

Oda Studio.

Oda Shingo took out the official version of the newly delivered comic book and began to analyze the situation with his two female assistants.

"The printing volume of "One Punch Man" is 150,000 copies. Three volumes are released in a row, which is 150,000 sets. According to Saburo Mikami's information, Qunyisha's printing volume of "Sword of the Goddess" is 200,000 copies, but the distribution The volume is also 100,000 copies.”

He knew that due to Wazuki Kosuke's reputation as a fierce newcomer, the regular publication department of the group's publisher was confident that the extra 100,000 copies of "The Sword of the Goddess" would be printed slowly.

Judging from experience, the outcome of the single-line competition between the two parties depends on who can digest the 100,000 store volume first!

"This is our "One Punch Man"!" Todo Kouchi kept stroking the official version of the comic book with his hands.

The strategy adopted by Oda Shingo is to cover three volumes. The first volume features Saitama as the main cover, and the two sisters Tatsumaki Fubuki are on the cover together.

Don’t get me wrong, they are posing together on the cover, not some kind of sister don gesture.

The second and third volumes are close-up covers of Tatsumaki and Fubuki respectively.

Then each volume has a color foldout poster and color printed pages.

Oda Shingo reminded: "Todo-kun, the forum has announced a joint event for anime fans to buy single volumes, and the promotion must be even more vigorous."

Todo Xiangcheng made an OK gesture and said with the unique pronunciation of Japanese London accent: "Okey, Nuopo Nuobo nut."

The Japanese pronunciation of English is so strange, Oda Shingo secretly rolled his eyes.

"I didn't expect it would look so good when printed." Yukaku Namikaze kept stroking the color pages with his hands, feeling filled with emotion. He felt that the printed things looked better than the drawings.

I can't even believe that this is a character written by me.

Of course, Fubuki's black silk stockings and the bulging back of her tights were all inspired by Oda Shingo. At that time, she felt very embarrassed, especially when she was asked not to wear any lower clothes for Tatsumaki...

But now I understand that everything is worth it! Not only is it very popular with readers online, but even when you hold the physical version in your hands, you can feel the brilliance of the characters' clothing settings.

However, Oda-kun's XP seems to be a bit manly... Namikaze Yukaku blushed a little.

She looked specifically at the location of the production team, and it still had the words Oda Shingo and Tsuru as before.

"Put it away properly." Yukaku Namikaze has decided to send a set of comics to his hometown for his parents to read.

"Mikami Saburo just called and said that we will hold an on-site sales event on Saturday at the end of the month." Oda Shingo reminded, "Would you guys go together?"

"On-site sales meeting? Are there many people?" Namikaze Yukaku asked.

Todo Xiangcheng became a little worried: "It must be a lot, right?"

Regardless of how she usually chirps, she becomes shy when there are many people in strange places. That is to say, in the student territory of the school, she can dominate.

"You have to face different people. You are too beautiful to sit on the spot and sign autographs." Oda Shingo thought for a while and came to this conclusion.

"Okay, then I will assist you in the background instead of sitting at the scene." Namikaze Youkaku smiled.

Hearing Oda Shingo's compliment, Toudo Kaori joked happily: "It's because we are so beautiful, and you are afraid of being pursued, right? Oda-sensei, you really have no confidence."

"No, I don't want people to think that I don't draw comics well and collect beautiful assistants every day."

"...Okay, that's a good thing." Todo Xiangcheng hummed and carefully put the comic book away, preparing to show off to his father at night.

In the afternoon, the three of them still concentrated on the creation of One Punch Man.

It wasn't until around nine o'clock in the evening, when Namikaze Yukuru and Toudo Kōjo were leaving, Oda Shingo suddenly called out to the two women.

"Hey, you took a set of comic books with you, right? Take them out and give them to me first."

Namikaze Yukaku didn't hesitate and took it out directly and handed it to Oda Shingo.

Toudo Kaori murmured curiously as he took it out: "Oda-sensei, you won't be reluctant for us to keep one set for ourselves, right?"

"You must show it to your family. I'll sign your name." Oda Shingo sat down at the table with the comic and wrote on the title page very seriously:

[Thanks to Yukaku Namikaze for her great assistance. Without her support, I would not have been able to complete this book by myself - Oda Shingo]

[Thanks to Toudo Xiangcheng for her assistant work. Without her support, my work life would not be so convenient and worry-free - Oda Shingo]

Then, he returned the book to the two of them and took out two thick envelopes.

"The bonus for issuing a single book is 80,000 yen per person, which is not much, but I would like to express my gratitude. Maybe I can buy something for the two parents, that would be the best."

Namikaze Yukaku and Fujido Kaoru took the book and envelope and looked at him carefully.

Both of their faces were a little rosy.

It seems that this boss is a little more handsome...

The end of the month.

Saturday night.

The single volume showdown is coming soon.

[Oh! For the glory of the goddess! ]

[For the goddess, I have prepared to buy the single volume! ]

[One punch is evil! The battle of the goddess sword is the right way! ]

[Down with One Punch Man! ]

In many comic forums, fans of the goddess sword appeared and shouted slogans.

And in the web comic community of Qun Ying Sha, One Punch Man fans also made similar actions.

[I saw the single volume preview of Springfield Bookstore! The cover is Tornado and Fubuki sisters flying together! ]

[The preview shows three books released at the same time! ]

[Wow? Three books released at the same time? So is it catching up with the web serialization progress? ]

[I caught up, I just planned to collect it! ]

[I wanted to collect Tornado's wife! prprprpr, I will let Tornado know that my tongue is very powerful! ]

The fans of both sides are ready to fight.

Similar to the last time Takeshi Gouda released a web comic, many comic authors also released blogs and other information to mobilize fans to support the single volume of Kousuke Kazuki.

Some neutral cartoonists, with a spectator mentality, also mentioned "One Punch Man".

As for the well-known comic critic Hanbei, he expressed his attitude early:

[I dare to pat my chest to guarantee that Shingo Oda's "One Punch Man" has a better overall quality than "Sword of the Goddess"! Unfortunately, in the current capital market situation, the single volume is bound to be weaker than the latter. ]

This is also recognized by almost everyone and will happen.
