Chapter 130 One Year

In the days that followed, the number of serialized episodes of Natsume's Book of Friends also increased week by week.

In the sixth episode, Sasada Jun, who has been looking for Shigure, and Shigure, who has been afraid to show up, finally meet on the rooftop of an abandoned building.

Sasada Jun, who has been looking for Shigure in Shigure's memory, said a word once.

"Please, even if it's just one time, please show up!"

This sentence was misunderstood by Shigure who was hiding Sasada Jun.

In the comics, he looked carefully at Jun Sasada through the old window, so that she would not find him.

"That's it"

"If only I saw you once."

"You will never come again."

This scene once again made many fans of this work feel distressed.

The monsters in this work are so simple, and these monsters are also drawn so beautifully, which is too different from other monster comics with monster elements.

Handsome painting style, gentle male protagonist Natsume, and touching story.

Finally, after the serialization of Chapter 6, the serialization of Natsume's Book of Friends in the Waterfront Journal stabilized.

All three stories are of such quality, surprising those who thought Shuixin could not handle such a work at first.

And in the Dragon Country comics, the fan base about Natsume's Friends Book is also growing rapidly.

Among them, almost 80% of Natsume's fans are women.

Under the propaganda of fans and Xuan Gui, the influence of Natsume's Friends Book soon radiated to the fans of Qiye and Orange Cat, the two main comic companies that focus on teenage comics.

For works like Natsume's Book of Friends, male fans may feel good after reading it, but they will not feel too deep.

But for women, a sudden sentence and a picture in the work will make them feel a strong touch.

Among them, some people even equate the male protagonist Natsume with the author Shui Xin.

Some of them went to read the video of the Dragon Star Award, and learned about Chu Yu's true appearance.

Many fanatical fans even think that the character prototype of Xia Mu is Chu Yu.

Although Chu Yu's appearance is not as handsome as Natsume's, it is still good-looking in general, and his height is similar to the set Natsume.

This makes many fans of Natsume Friends Book very excited.

It's a pity that for Chu Yu's information, they only know that they are from Luo Province, and they are now working in the magic capital.

I don't know the school and major that Chu Yu attended, otherwise Chu Yu felt that his peaceful life would definitely be disrupted.

It's just that if the popularity of Natsume's Friends Book continues to grow like this, then Chu Yu's identity in the school will be exposed sooner or later.

In Shuiyuan journals, the works ranked in front of Natsume's friends account felt a lot of pressure during this time.

Although the popularity ranking of Natsume's Friends Book after the publication of the sixth chapter is still the eighth on the water edge, the gap between it and the seventh is very small.

After the seventh chapter of Natsume's Book of Friends, The Swallow of the Bottom of the Water, was serialized, the ranking of Natsume's Book of Friends rose to seventh.

Such a rapid increase in popularity has naturally attracted the attention of editors from many comic companies in the magic capital comic industry.

At the beginning, when Natsume Friends Book was serialized, they didn't even pay attention to this work.

When Shui Xin fought Yu Jing's Weibo, although they noticed this work, they didn't take it too seriously.

But now, as a series of less than ten chapters, it can occupy the seventh most popular position in a journal like Shuiyuan, no matter what they do, it is impossible to continue to ignore this comic.

Could it be that comics of this style unexpectedly have a market in Long Kingdom?

Compared with the achievements of Natsume's book of friends, the editors of the comics industry are more concerned about this.

In today's Longguo comics market, it is really difficult to achieve results.

No matter what type of comic works, there are countless masterpieces of comic masters.

If there is a market for this small and fresh type of comics, then deliberately serializing submissions of similar works will be a good thing for both cartoonists and editors. The pressure of competition is greatly reduced, and it is easy to produce results.

But there are so many editors who are thinking about similar things weeks in advance, compared to people who are thinking about it now.

So in the eighth chapter of Natsume's Book of Friends, the week it was serialized.

In a journal under the two comics clubs Orange Cat and Seven Leaf, two new works were serialized along with a series of promotions.

Anyone who has read Natsume's Book of Friends can feel the two works called Soul and Soul and the Forest of Demons only by looking at the style of painting and the slogan.

It is deliberately imitating the style of Natsume's book of friends.

The former is a story about the protagonist who was born to see the soul and helps those souls who are nostalgic in the world to fulfill their wishes.

The setting of the latter is to tell the story of the protagonist who is a demon slayer who understands and communicates with the monsters in the process of scavenging.

The plot form of the comics is not important, what is important is that the core selling points of the two comics are the communication, fetters, and stories of humans and non-human creatures.

Just because of this, Li Xi came to Chu Yu's house with a sad face to discuss with Chu Yu.

However, Chu Yu, who learned the news, was not panic at all.

Although the system prohibits Chu Yu from watching unreleased comics, it does not prevent Chu Yu from understanding the development of these works in different dimension time and space.

As far as the Natsume Friends Book was born in the parallel world for so many years, there are very few similar works.

There are always people who think that such works are good paintings, and it is only because there are few similar works that they can become famous.

But in fact, such an idea is contradictory. If such works are good paintings, how can there be few similar works?

The two editors of Orange Cat and Qiye obviously fell into such a misunderstanding.

So when this week's results came out, the editors of other manga clubs who wanted to follow Feng Natsume's friend account also gave up the idea.

Because, the two works of Heart and Soul and the Forest of Demons are really, the results are too ugly.

Although it is not serialized in the ace journals of the Seventh Magic City, it is not that the number of bad reviews is more than that of online voting.

Many fans of Natsume Friends Book learned that the two works launched by the two companies are similar in style to Natsume Friends Book, and they just thought that Natsume was slower, and they also bought two comics serialized with a little expectation. journals.

Unfortunately.

After watching it, I always felt like I was being force-fed.

It is true that Natsume's Book of Friends is the focus of this work on the characters and memories of youkai and Natsume and Reiko.

But these two works, forcibly moved in order to be moved, and the plot is mindless. If they really imitate, they have to imitate the shape of Natsume, not the spirit.

In this regard, the fans of Natsume's friends account are naturally not stingy to spend some effort and time sending bad reviews directly to the two companies.

After the two works were serialized in the second week, after a week of fermenting the news, the fans of Natsume's Book of Friends sent more bad reviews than the previous issue.

The two manga companies cut off two manga at the same time.

After all, they came up with these two works to see if they could attract fans of Natsume's friends account, but now, these two works have not only become a joke in the industry, but also successfully aroused the disgust of Natsume's friends account.

Imitation is not a crime. The point is that if you imitate things that are not the same, you will inevitably be ridiculed.

The ending of the two works has made many cartoonists who want to follow suit weigh themselves in advance.

Soon, December is over.

Time to enter January.

Today's Natsume Friends Book has also risen to sixth in the serial ranking of the Shuiyuan journal.

By this time, the growth of popularity is not as fast as before.

There are propaganda reasons for this situation, and there are also reasons for the audience of comics.

But overall, the popularity of the work is still approaching the fifth place.

For this, Chu Yu can also accept it.

After all, the works at the top of Natsume's rankings are all works that have been serialized for several years. How can it be so easy to surpass the popularity that people have accumulated over the years?

Unless Chu Yu did not draw Natsume, but a passionate comic, it would be almost the same. That kind of work is difficult to come up with, but once it is well drawn, its popularity will grow rapidly, far exceeding all other types of comics.

During this time, the magic capital also began to snow.

In Chu Yu's rental house, an air-conditioning heater is also set up all day.

After all, it has been half a year since he came to the Magic Capital.

It has been almost a year since the painting of the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance was completed!

At this time last year, he also serialized the Rurouni Kenshin Memoirs in Luo Province, and now, Natsume's Book of Friends has become a well-known work in Long Kingdom.

As for the animation production of the unknown flower name, it is also in full swing in the past two months.

Last month, Gu Yan often chatted with Chu Yu Weixin and invited Chu Yu to go out to play, although Chu Yu refused.

But this month, due to the work and study of dubbing, Gu Yan seldom sent Weixin to Chu Yu.

Although Chu Yu couldn't intervene in the animation, it did not mean that Chu Yu was indifferent to the unheard flower name.

There is still a month left, and the unheard animation will be broadcast. Chu Yuke has great expectations for this.

If the performance after the broadcast of the unheard flower name can replicate the performance trend in the parallel world.

That Chu Yu felt that with this work, he was likely to be rewarded by the system.

At that time, his idea of ​​serializing a new work can be realized.

Although Chu Yu could also directly use World Points to exchange for works, Chu Yu was not very willing to do so unless he had to.

The world is hard to earn, but the achievements of the Dragon Kingdom comics are easy to brush.

In his words, he still tends to rely on the lottery of system rewards to draw out the lower serial works.

Natsume's account of friends is mainly written as a plot of the manga. Just like the plot of this comic, it is slightly gentle, and there is not much to write about the plot of this work.

Of course, if you really want to write, it's definitely fine to write dozens of chapters around this comic, but I personally don't think it's necessary.

That's about it, otherwise it's too redundant.

However, this plot has listened to the opinions of many readers and restrained its development in the direction of pretending to force, but it seems to be too bland. After thinking about it, it may be better to increase some struggles in the next plot.
