At the signing site, the flow of people changed more and more obviously.

"Great." Namikaze Yukaku looked at the increasingly long signing line of "One Punch Man" with satisfaction.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect that Mr. Oda has so many fans." Fujido Kacheng was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She grabbed Oda Shingo's arm from behind and shook it.

"Hey, I'm still signing." Oda Shingo grinned. The girl was too strong.

He communicated with readers very seriously and was never perfunctory when signing.

For enthusiastic readers, Oda Shingo would even write some ancient Chinese poems: [Hang the sails to cross the sea][Soar up to 90,000 miles][The path to the mountain of books is hard work][The sea of ​​learning is boundless and hard work makes the boat][The belly is full of poetry and books and the spirit is naturally elegant][Reading without realizing that spring has come][The ancients spared no effort in learning]...

The Chinese characters written one by one made the fans' eyes wide open.

"Oh! Teacher Oda, can you write such complicated Chinese characters?"

"Teacher Oda, please write some for me too!"

"It turns out that Teacher Oda is very knowledgeable!"

In the Japanese concept, those who know a lot of Chinese characters are knowledgeable. No one would have thought that a cartoonist could write so many Chinese characters, and they all look very stylish.

Some people took out their mobile phones to check, only to find that these were all Chinese poems, and they immediately exclaimed in admiration.

Namikaze Yukaku's eyes lit up.

Fujido Kaoru also favored it: "Teacher Oda actually writes Chinese characters so well, better than our Chinese teacher!"

It's a surprise to be able to write, and it's even more surprising to write well. In the eyes of the Japanese, Oda Shingo's writing of Chinese characters is quite good...

In front of the signing table of "One Punch Man", people in line have begun to line up in circles under the guidance of security personnel!

The number of people in line has exceeded hundreds!

"Isn't that right? It's 2024 now, how can there still be such a queue to buy comic books?" The old shop owner couldn't believe it, and even suspected that he had returned to the Showa era.

He was standing and watching the excitement before, but now he is busy.

Because more and more fans are buying "One Punch Man", the 500 comic books shipped have been reduced by half. In terms of time, it may not be enough!

This is because it is a signing point, so so many books are sent. If it is other bookstores, 5 or 10 books are common.

"Hurry up and call the transfer station! Transfer the nearby goods. Don't make a mistake, it's not "Goddess Sword", it's "One Punch Man"!" He urged the clerk to call.

"The phone can't get through!" The clerk shouted quickly.

"Call the backup phone! Aren't there three phones there?"

"All busy!"

"Really, I'll do it." The old shop owner has been in business for decades and still knows some people. He immediately called the familiar Qunyingshe Book Transfer Station.

"Moshimoshi..." The old shop owner asked twice, then exclaimed, "What? One Punch Man is in demand everywhere? Are you kidding me? No, I don't understand!"

How long has it been since it happened? The last time there were so many people signing books was in the Showa era of the last century.

And why were there not many people at the beginning, but now there are so many fans.

After careful observation, the old shop owner saw the reason.

Some fans took out a sign and raised it, and began to express their support for Oda Shingo while queuing.

The sign read: [Support not compromising with capital! You are a cartoonist with the style of Showa! ]

After the great economic recession in the Heisei era, Japan has now entered the impetuous era of Reiwa, which has led many people to admire Showa.

Those artists who are not sociable and arrogant will all be glorified as the noble and beautiful style of Showa.

The old shop owner guessed: "It must be public opinion that made the fans excited, and they spontaneously came to support the suppressed new cartoonist!"

He guessed right. Under the water army offensive launched by Mrs. Yukino Fuyu, the public opinion that "One Punch Man" was suppressed by capital and the author was retaliated by the minister was overwhelming!

Many cartoonists who were previously excluded by Qunyingsha or whose manuscripts were eliminated began to actively promote this matter.

After all, Minister Hyakki has occupied the main publication department for many years, and he has offended many cartoonists with his character.

Many people who are not fans of comics also know about this matter, and even many fans who don't read web comics have noticed that the "One Punch Man" single volume was released, but was suppressed and retaliated.

More and more netizens took the initiative to forward it, and even made this matter go viral!

[The main publication department of Qunyingsha relied on its position as the number one in the market, and it really would do such an ugly thing! ]

["Jump" is no longer a simple comic publication! I was right to abandon the publication for many years! ]

[No, I want to buy a set of "One Punch Man"! ]

[I subscribed to the web version, but I decided to buy another set now! This is an attitude! ]

[Yes, I will buy it too. I haven't read the web version, but I just want to support it! ]

[Less than 2,000 yen, just to support new cartoonists! ]

[Just for my Tornado! I want to buy ten sets! One set at home, one set under the bed, one set for the tailor, one set to keep unopened, and the rest to give away! ]

More and more comic fans started to rush to the bookstore with emotions.

Then in the bookstore, they started to promote this big melon to people around them.

Viral + emotional guidance + Showa style nostalgia, multiple factors together, made the release of "One Punch Man" single volume start to go viral.

Many media accounts also began to release short videos.

[The talented author insisted on his principles and was maliciously suppressed by capital! ]

[Today's trend, do you miss the Showa style? Listen to this story of "One Punch Man". ]

[The main publication of "Jump" is completely broken, such a good comic was maliciously stuck on the shelves with a bug! ]

In fact, Oda Shingo and Showa style are not related at all.

But many comic fans who signed books posted the Chinese poems and words signed by Oda Shingo on the Internet, which gave this author a golden edge.

A young author who can write so many Chinese characters, a Showa style!

"What's going on?" Kosuke Watsuki looked at the situation on the scene and began to murmur in his heart.

Oda Shingo's comic fans are increasing, even more than three or four times my side? !

And there are still many people holding signs, some even looking at me unkindly?

He pretended to go to the bathroom, went to the rest corridor of the shopping mall next door, took out his mobile phone and called Minister Hayato Hyakki.

[Beep-beep]

But the phone rang for a long time, and no one answered.

The uneasy intuition in Kousuke Watsuki's heart became more and more difficult to suppress.

Sweat, came out.

Kousuke Watsuki wiped his face, something was wrong!

He didn't know that Minister Hayato Hyakki was sweating even more now!
