"GANTZ" is a representative work that began in 2000 and has gradually moved towards fast pace, excitement and personalized protagonists in comics.
Since the beginning of the new century, the protagonists of Japanese comics have obviously begun to get rid of cowardice, tenderness and the heart of the Virgin. In particular, the heroine has finally begun to feel free from the vase.
Compared with "Ah, My Goddess", the model dramas with the heroine Bai Meirou are gradually becoming outdated, and comic fans are also tired of watching them.
This kind of female character was absorbed by later isekai harem novels and became a representative of the vase-like feeling.
And compared to the comic works of the same period, the female characters are finally not the kind of sluggish types who will be captured by bad guys, and have even become consumables that can die at any time!
This was definitely an innovation that stunned comic fans at the time.
Although some comic works have done similar things before, when it comes to influence and market diffusion effect, "GANTZ" should definitely be the representative.
"Namikaze-kun, the key to this work is to dare to kill people! And you will die! There will be no revolving door before death, and there will be no pendants and other souvenirs, let alone any flags that the cherry blossoms in my hometown will bloom. !" Oda Shingo told Namikaze Yukaku the plot idea of the manga.
When he was in the workplace, he still called her by her work-related name instead of Youhe's nickname.
"Oh." Namikaze Yukaku kept nodding, taking notes from time to time, "I noticed that except for the male protagonist, there are very few psychological descriptions of the characters."
Although she is the main painter other than the female characters, it is necessary to grasp the tendencies of the storyline.
"So the comic "GANTZ" is aimed at the unique group of "RED", and they are also the low-level comic fans who are most easily attracted. What they pay attention to is Feng Linhuoshan!"
Fenglin Huoshan? Namikaze Yukaku was confused: "Isn't that the military flag of Takeda Shingen?"
At the same time, she murmured in her heart that historically she and the Oda family have been sworn enemies...
"No, it comes from China's Sun Tzu's Art of War. It's as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, and as motionless as a mountain." Oda Shingo corrected.
What he was thinking in his mind was: the wind is to beat crazy; the forest is to die more; the fire is to incite passion; the mountains are to wear as few clothes as possible...
To put it simply, "GANTZ" first uses dark and deep colors to attract comic fans, and then slowly begins to think about human nature and life.
However, Oda Shingo also thought of the many comments made by "GANTZ" in the comics industry on earth, especially the author's mention in some magazines that he did not draw well.
For example, the vampire who kills GANTZ hunters out of nowhere, the protagonist’s brother who dies after appearing without any effect, the birth of the black ball is difficult to satisfy readers, and the lack of pressure in the battle in space, etc...
Generally speaking, "GANTZ" has many shortcomings, but it also has a lot of advantages. I dare not say it is a masterpiece, but it is absolutely okay to shine for a while.
And Oda Shingo knew that this comic best suited the consistent policy of "RED".
"By the way, Namikaze-kun, with the exception of the female character Kojima Tae, she is the ordinary girl that the protagonist truly loves in the end. I leave it to you to draw!"
"...Hi Yi!" Namikaze Yukaku was stunned for a moment, and then agreed very happily.
Oda Shingo’s thoughts: I now have the bonus of female character drawing skills, and Kojima Tae is an ordinary person in the setting, and is not suitable for being coated with a layer of system-enhancing aura.
Namikaze Yukaku's thoughts: Shingo must have thought of this character as being born out of me, right? So leave it to me to draw it, and it's really...
Death! What are you implying so obviously? Namikaze Yukaku glanced at Oda Shingo.
Oda Shingo's "GANTZ" has launched a new serialization, and many colleagues are also watching it.
Takeda was unwilling, so he paid for "RED" and returned to his studio where he no longer had an assistant.
This is already the second comic that has been cut in half by the beginning.
Now he can no longer afford his assistants and has fired his female assistant Reiko and others.
Now Takeda Takeda is sitting alone in the studio, looking at "RED" with a dull expression.
The beauty on the cover is extremely enchanting.
"Shameless!" Goda Takeru snorted, "In order to make money, you actually painted such a picture! Oda Shingo, you have also fallen. At the beginning, you said that I only knew how to use the edge and lack of plot!"
He tore off the plastic wrap and began to look through it.
With more than 80 pages of updates, isn’t this guy tired? And the inspiration won’t run out?
"Why has his painting skills improved so much?"
Although I know that he has his own main writer, the quality of the storyboards can still be seen. Moreover, the main writer of the manga actually has the name of Oda Shingo, indicating that he was involved in the drawing of the characters.
The basic style of the entire comic is similar to that of One Punch Man, and indeed it comes from the female assistant named "Crane".
"The female character... seems to have been drawn by that guy..."
After all, Takeda Takeda is a professional who has been painting for more than ten years. After noticing that the main painter included Oda Shingo, he quickly discovered the subtle differences.
The difference does not affect the overall painting style, it is a joint creation through deliberate unification of painting styles.
Takeda Takeda certainly knows the necessity of unified style for comics, and also knows that this is very difficult.
If someone told Takeda Takeda that this was the result of a day and night of coordination of painting styles, he would never believe it!
"Forget it, regardless of the style of painting!" Takeda Takeda read the comic intently.
From the death of the protagonist, to the mysterious room, then to the glamorous beauty, and then to the matter of life and death again.
The stupid little alien was tortured and killed with flesh and blood everywhere, and the adult Onion star appeared angrily.
It wasn't until the next page showed other comics that Takeda was surprised to find that he had finished them so quickly.
I looked at the time and saw that a quarter of an hour had passed.
But I feel like it’s only been a few minutes.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Takeda suddenly threw "RED" out: "Damn it!"
With a snap, the comic was smashed against the wall and slid to the floor.
Takeda Takeda slumped down helplessly.
He is no longer an opponent that he can hope to defeat...
Damn it...
Not to mention Takeda Gouda, Hyakki Hayabusa and Koyama Noritaka and others also had similar reactions.
Haters hurt relatives and make them happy.
Saburo Mikami flipped through "RED" and sighed with regret: "Brother-in-law is too much. Such a good comic, why is it only given to "RED"? Isn't it good to serialize it in "Champion"?"
However, it doesn’t count as being given to outsiders, right?
Saburo Mikami smiled.
He is developing well with Takano Ran, the supplement director of "RED".
Gao Yelan invited him to dinner, and the two chatted happily, and even made an appointment to go out on the weekend to chat.
The reaction of comic fans can be seen on the forum.
["GANTZ" is really good to watch! ]
[Seriously agree, I am nodding, and so is my second brother! ]
[After reading this, it’s not just hot down below, it’s hot up top too! Congestion + blood surge, the most beautiful combination! ]
[This is the comic that "RED" should have! ]
The market gets hot on the first day and is booming on the second day!
On the first day, "RED" only sold about 40%.
But the next day, it was hard to find an issue of "RED" on the market!
Obviously, word-of-mouth from comic fans directly boosts sales.
What’s more shocking is that a big boss broke the news:
【shock! After Shingo Oda's "GANTZ" was serialized, the usage rate of pink software dropped by 12% on the first day! The next day it dropped 26%! 】
