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

Chapter 550: Starting from "Naruto", martial arts will spread all over the world!

Oda Shingo Studio.

Early in the morning, Fujido Kaoru discovered that Oda Shingo was courting death.

Seeing that Bai's post was gaining popularity, she looked up the setting of "Naruto".

Then I was shocked to find that Bai’s identity was actually set as: male (? ).

"Shingo, are you really not afraid of being beaten to death by comic fans?" Fujido Kaoru was speechless when she looked at the draft setting. She didn't want to become a widow before getting married.

Although there is a question mark after the word "male" in terms of gender, once this setting is leaked, I'm afraid that comic fans will block the door and curse at me, right?
Look at the appearance of the ninja Bai, with long straight black hair, big eyes, and a gentle and decisive personality. She is obviously a very likable female character, but in the setting, the sentence that "she" would say is... "I am a man"? !

"Why was she beaten to death?" Mikami Yuko came over to look at the materials in Fujido Kaoru's hand and quickly asked in surprise, "Huh? She's a man?!"

Bai has long, smooth black hair, a soft and delicate face, and fine-tuned facial features. In real life, such a face would easily remind people of a female image.

Moreover, his dress is also feminine, for example, the style of his clothing is relatively soft, giving the overall look a very delicate feeling, and his appearance appears quite neutral.

The character's setting has only been partially revealed now, but from the character design diagram, Yuko Mikami can't believe that this character is a male.

"Hello? You're the reviewer, how can't you see this problem?" Fujido Kaoru looked at Namikaze Yukaku.

"I think it's okay." Namikaze Youhe answered simply and clearly.

She had known this setting for a long time, and in fact she had been eyeing this role for a long time, but in the end she chose to trust Oda Shingo's arrangement without hesitation.

When Oda Shingo heard Namikaze Yuzuru's answer, he laughed like a quail.

Look, why else would he choose her as his girlfriend? This trust is so heartwarming.

So, Oda Shingo refused to answer Fujido Kaoru's question, with a look on his face saying, "I did it on purpose, what do you think?"
Seeing that he was stubborn and that his reminders were ineffective, Fujido Kacheng became very upset: "Just wait for your death! After the fans scold you to death, I will help you collect your body..."

Oda Shingo just smiled and said: "Okay, according to Chinese customs, I will burn incense for you on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month."

"It's over, Shingo has gotten too arrogant." Fujido Kaoru covered her forehead and shook her head.

In the next few days, discussions about Shingo Oda's new work became the top topic in the comics industry.

"Saint Seiya" and "Diary of a Couple's Growth" have both come to an end, and the story of "The Burial of Frillian" has also come to an end. It seems that all of Oda Shingo's energy will be focused on the new work.

"Could it be that this new comic is the masterpiece of Mr. Oda Shingo?"

Someone asked this question.

More and more people have noticed that since Shingo Oda started serializing his works at a rapid pace, he has never had such an obvious trend of concentration.

It seems that several comics were completed at the same time in preparation for "Naruto".

The next new work launch conference is scheduled for early February.

At the same time, Springfield Books was preparing for the launch of this new work with great fanfare.

Because there is also an important arrangement: Oda Shingo will join the board of directors!
This is something that Haruta Sadako has been working hard to promote recently. She lobbied many powerful shareholders and obtained enough transferred shares to be left for Oda Shingo.

The press conference was scheduled at the Prince Hotel Sakura Tower Tokyo Takanawa. The venue was suitable for holding the announcement ceremony and could also meet the business needs of subsequent dining.

On that day, Oda Shingo attended the meeting with Namikaze Yukaku.

Dozens of industry insiders were invited to attend the event, and hundreds of comic fans were selected through lucky draws to participate.

When Oda Shingo came on stage, the whole audience burst into cheers, as if the most popular movie star had appeared on stage.

The first was the promotional ceremony for "Naruto", which aroused cheers from the audience after the animation composed of a large number of comic pictures was played.

Everyone can see that this is a passionate manga, and it takes a different route from the previous "Koga Ninja Scrolls". The manga website editors and manga critics at the scene whispered.

"A hot-blooded ninja comic? It seems like it hasn't appeared in a long time?"

"Ninja comics were never popular to begin with, and the Koga Ninja Scrolls became popular because of its horror and violence."

"Oda Shingo is really confident. He has made such a big splash with his new work."

"There was also the ceremony for him to join the board of directors. Springfield Books really spent a lot of money to win him over."

"Now Springfield Bookstore has tied Oda Shingo down firmly. He controls the shares and has a seat on the board of directors. There is no dispute that they share the same interests. Other companies such as Qunyingsha will never be able to win him over again."

The people present were all professionals from the comics industry, and their private comments were sharp and to the point.

Then, the senior management of Springfield Books publicly announced the resolution that Shingo Oda would join the board of directors, and several board representatives gave welcome speeches.

Soon it was Oda Shingo's turn to speak, and the audience burst into warm applause.

Whether it was out of politeness, respect, or genuine admiration, everyone understood that anyone who did not applaud at this time would be separated from the queue.

But some people also discussed it privately.

"As the director, what Oda Shingo should say is that he should work hard to bring the best works to Springfield Bookstore and the vast number of comic fans, right?"

"Of course, we all know what he will say."

"It must be a cliché. All kinds of boring clichés."

Some veterans in the workplace can easily imagine what Oda Shingo will say.

At this time, Oda Shingo had already stood at the podium, gently turned the microphone, and then slowly took out a thick stack of papers from the work bag he brought with him.

"No way? Do you have to say so much nonsense?" Someone in the audience immediately cried out in a low voice.

Someone whispered, "You'll get used to it. It's normal for you to be a director at such a young age and put on airs."

But Oda Shingo on the stage quickly smiled and shook the manuscript, and said loudly through the microphone: "Originally, I wanted to ask Springfield Books to help me write a thick stack of speeches to express my gratitude to you and my enthusiasm for the future of Springfield Books."

He shook the stack of manuscripts to let everyone see that they were not text manuscripts, but drawings.

"But I think I should say something real, and tell you what I will bring to you in the future."

Oda Shingo paused here.

Everyone's appetite was whetted.

The electronic screen behind Oda Shingo began to display the market share. The data pie chart showed that Springfield Bookstore currently ranked behind Qunyingsha's 28%, accounting for 24% of the market sales share.

Oda Shingo announced slowly and solemnly:

"From today on, I, Oda Shingo, will use comics as my weapon to push Springfield Bookstore to the top of the comics industry!"

Oh——the audience’s eyes widened.

Oda Shingo looked at the whole audience with a slight smile on his face. "In the comics world, there will no longer be the three great comic books, nor the four great comic books of today. There will only be one great bookstore, and its name is - Springfield Books!"

There were already exclamations in the venue. This was a blatant provocation! An open threat! This was definitely a declaration of war!

Under the bright lights of the conference room, Oda Shingo straightened his back, held his chin high, and declared in a kingly manner:
"Starting with Naruto, Springfield Books' comics will spread across the comics world..."
