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

The last time I saw Nobuhiro Arakawa on TV, he was talking nonsense. No wonder it looked familiar, Oda Shingo quickly took out his phone and searched for photos.

With such a fat face, it's so crowded that your eyes almost disappear, and it's him at first glance.

Uh, it's really... Nobuhiro Arakawa?

It's not that enemies don't get together, but they didn't expect to meet here.

Oda Shingo quickly pulled the Todo Orange and pretended to look at other display signs.

Temporarily leaving the crowded place, Todo Xiangcheng whispered: "Do you know any of these people? Are you worried? Are you 80 years old? I'm going to beat him up!"

She thought that when Oda Shingo's parents had an accident, the school suspended him from school, and he still owed a lot of debt, maybe someone

"...No." Oda Shingo rolled his eyes, but his intention to help was still good.

He quickly explained.

Toudo Xiangcheng covered her lips in surprise: "It's actually the old thief Arakawa?!"

This was a good title, and Oda Shingo almost didn't laugh out loud. I'm used to seeing myself being called a thief on the Internet, but I never expected that my enemies would receive such treatment.

His impression of Todo Orange immediately improved greatly. Don't look at people who are a little rough, a little straight-tempered, a little startled, a little greedy, a little charming, a little seductive...

Forget it, she's still hopeless, a fool who can't catch a cold. Don't change your opinion of her just because of this good performance.

Oda Shingo just kept reading the comic strips with Todo Kouchi, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Nobuhiro Arakawa and his group walking over.

Nobuhiro Arakawa was invited as a temporary guest.

As an old-timer in the comics industry and the current pillar of the Group of Heroes Club, his coming to school is a sign of honor for Tokyo University of the Arts.

The current economic situation is not good, and the school attaches great importance to comics, one of Japan's pillar industries. Not every student can become an artist, and 99% of students’ works cannot be sold for money after graduation.

Art is higher than life, but life cannot be without food. Employment indicators are very important. Not only schools, students also regard employment in the comics industry as an important direction.

According to employment data from previous years, 40% of art-related students at Tokyo University of the Arts did join the animation industry after graduation. Others join industries such as fashion design, handicraft design and criminal investigation painting.

Except for the public sector, employment in these latter industries cannot be compared with the animation industry in terms of stability.

Envy, right? But it comes at the expense of the health of animation workers and working overtime to get it!

The animation market is huge, and sudden deaths occur one after another.

Japan is a big country in animation, with the animation industry accounting for more than 16% of GDP.

The market size of the animation production industry will reach a new high of 339.02 billion yen in 2023. It increased by 22.9% compared with 2022 and exceeded 300 billion yen for the first time.

Of course, there is a lot of water in this, because many businesses are outsourced and are still included in GDP.

For example, projectNo.9, the well-known P9, is a typical animation that relies entirely on outsourcing companies.

What? Have you never heard of P9? So you must have heard of the nickname [Original Crusher], right?

There is a joke in the animated series, which is that it was animated by P9. It describes the quality of the outsourced animation that makes people break their glasses.

The production level of the newer drama "Why No One Remembers Minecraft" has reached a level that makes you want to take it out and crush it to pieces!

(As shown in the picture above, the important world evolution heroine distorts and disappears. The scene actually looks like this. It is a vertical painting that is distorted...)

Nobuhiro Arakawa was invited over, accompanied by the middle management of the school like stars holding the moon, and there was even a dean in charge of art.

After a business exchange, Nobuhiro Arakawa also gave an impromptu speech to the students.

"Everyone loves the animation industry. I have seen many young people who are very talented, but sometimes they are abandoned by the times just because of a little setback or unwillingness to put in a little more effort. Swallowed by the great tide..."

He was talking with a rumbling stomach, quite satisfied that someone was listening to his opinions.

"There are also some comics practitioners who, for the sake of a little market gain, make money through some bloody violence or personal temptations. They have really forgotten the duties and pursuits of comics people!"

He waved his fist angrily, as if he wanted to beat away the scum of the comics industry with his chubby fleshy hands.

Some faculty members who responded quickly quietly removed one or two of Oda Shingo's comic display boards, and those who couldn't move stood there to block the comics.

Todo Xiangcheng was also listening, and immediately became unhappy when he heard such words, and wanted to turn around to refute and ask for an explanation.

"Don't move, keep reading comics with me." Oda Shingo pressed her arm with his elbow.

Todo Xiangcheng stopped with a groan, looked up at the exhibition board facing the two of them, and soon blushed: "I hate it, letting people see such things, you are a gangster..."

She stared at Oda Shingo with her big eyes, but they made people feel that they were full of watery charm.

The exhibition board happened to be drawn by Oda Shingo. In "GANTZ", the male protagonist is behind the female character Kishimoto Megumi, with his hands stretched forward to hold the double front headlights.

"Ahem, let's change one." Oda Shingo carried Todo Orange to the next exhibition board.

It's still my own, but it's just the scene in "Jojo" where Joestar was hit by a magnet substitute and sucked Abdel's face between his legs...

"Just say you are a gangster." Todo Xiangcheng's face turned even redder, "This kind of thing should at least wait until you pay a visit to my father..."

Her face turned redder, and Oda Shingo's waist became even more bent.

Next to him, Nobuhiro Arakawa had finished his impromptu speech.

One of the faculty members surrounding him flattered him solemnly, without caring about the dark side: "What you said is great! We have seen the level of thought that Showa Wind should have! There is a guy nicknamed the Big Demon King, what are you talking about? Compare?"

They could see that Nobuhiro Arakawa hated Oda Shingo very much.

Even the instructor kept nodding and bowing: "That's right! If he comes to our school, he will definitely be left out!"

"How does it compare to your reputation?!"

"That's right, one in the sky and one on the earth!"

"That guy is just a suspended student from our school."

The students were also very supportive: "Teacher Arakawa, please sign your name for me!"

"Teacher Arakawa, please sign my painting!"

"Teacher Arakawa, please sign the nameplate on our display board. Our comic club will hang it in the club activity room!"

However, many female students maintained a reserved attitude and just clapped their hands politely.

Arakawa-sensei's appearance... points are deducted too much.

He was in his forties and relatively unpopular.

If Arakawa were in his seventies or eighties, his popularity among Japanese women would have increased tenfold!

Oda Shingo walked out with Todo Xiangcheng who wanted to hit someone again.

But at this time, an acquaintance came in at the door.

The man met Oda Shingo face to face, and he stared hard before daring to recognize him, but he soon said in surprise:

"Oda-kun?! You actually came back to your alma mater? Are you going to see if there are any of your comics in the manga review exhibition?!"

The one who came was Sato Ryota, the guy who had previously misunderstood that Oda Shingo had borrowed money and had a conflict, which led to Oda Shingo being discovered by the head of Todo.

He didn't mean it, but his reckless personality and loud voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Everyone looked at Oda Shingo.

That young man was quite handsome, and he looked like he was wearing a suit and his workmanship was worth a lot of money. He was a standout young man.

"Ah - it's really Oda God!" a female student exclaimed.

She remembered, it was really Oda Shingo!
