My girlfriend is Saiki Kusunoki

Because of this outrageous training method, along with the meme that I went bald but also became stronger, it directly led to a punch that took off.

Now, bloggers are even starting to take on this challenge online.

It even unknowingly created a craze for exercise, which truly stunned a group of cartoonists.

Without realizing it, Naoto had already become someone on a completely different level from them.

Such a plot is something that ordinary people could not come up with.

Judging from JUMP's promotion of One-Punch Man and Saitama, the perfect hero does seem to be just like that.

Saitama is unmoved by fame and fortune, nor is he tempted by money. He upholds his own sense of justice and possesses invincible power.

Although he sometimes seems clumsy, he often says surprising things. Gradually, many readers, like Genos, started calling Saitama "Saitama-sensei".

When Naoto was creating One-Punch Man, he didn't just refer to the original plot. Although Murata's plot was indeed terrible, there were still many parts in the remake that could be learned from.

For example, Murata did a very good job of switching between the two art styles of Saitama and handling various large-scale scenes.

Due to the influence of multiple factors, Saitama even won first place in the JUMP popularity poll.

Who wouldn't like this protagonist who is wise in disguise and invincible to the point that he can only barely find an opponent in his dreams?

"Amazing, truly amazing! Has ONE-sensei broken through his own limits again and created a new style of drawing?"

At this point, Eiji seemed to be possessed by a demon, and the story of One-Punch Man was about to unfold.

Compared to others' amazement at the manga's story, Eiji was more concerned with the unique drawing style and plot structure of his work.

It is obvious that One-Punch Man is very different from traditional comics, and it stands out as particularly strange among many comics.

To Eiji's astonishment, none of Naoto's current manga works share the same creative structure template.

Whether it's vampires, parasites, or even the first Chinese novel, each has its own unique storyline.

To Eiji, it was as if several different manga artists were creating together.

Although Eiji has been working hard to learn this unique creative approach, Naoto always manages to come up with new creations, new scripts, and story structures that he has never seen before.

"If this work can be properly developed, it might really reach the level of Dragon Ball."

Eiji Niizuma's high regard for One-Punch Man, even comparing it to the masterpiece Dragon Ball, demonstrates just how much he admires the series.

It's important to know that Dragon Ball can basically be considered the pinnacle of manga, with its popularity and influence reaching a level that is almost unmatched.

However, Eiji Niizuma also knew that reaching the level of Dragon Ball was almost impossible. After all, the existence of Dragon Ball was not only excellent in itself, but also had a great deal to do with the era. But even so, One-Punch Man could at least reach a very high level.

Eiji couldn't help but become curious about just how far this work could go.

Chapter 135: The Broadcast of "Cooking Master Boy"

At the same time that Naoto began serializing his manga, Cooking Master Boy, a manga produced by Monthly Magazine, was finally adapted into an anime.

Although he was too busy, Naoto was not directly in charge of all the planning for this work; he simply provided the original manuscript and did nothing else.

However, it's impossible to say that straight people don't care at all.

In fact, as mentioned before, Chinese Cuisine Ichiban has always been quite popular in Japan.

In recent years, the popularity of Japanese food manga has been quite low, and the various storylines can basically be described as monotonous.

With its exaggerated style and unique storyline, "Chinese Cuisine Ichiban" has taken the lead, consistently ranking first in monthly magazines. As a result, interest in Chinese cuisine has increased significantly throughout the Tokyo area.

This is also why Cooking Master Boy was able to be adapted into an anime.

After 2000, with the development of the internet, the dissemination of animation was no longer limited to television.

Thanks to the development of the internet, various anime series have spread overseas and begun to shine brightly.

Some animations may not be popular in their home country, but they are very popular overseas.

In recent years, overseas markets have gradually replaced the domestic market as the main source of revenue for Japanese ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games).

The moment "Chinese Idol" aired in China, it immediately sparked a craze.

In fact, at the beginning, the viewers on the Chinese side had a strange feeling when they saw Chinese Ichiban.

After all, shouldn't Japanese anime generally promote their own stories? Let's not even talk about Japanese people being invincible, they should at least have a Japanese person as the main character.

Strangely, however, the story of "Cooking Master Boy" is entirely based on the Chinese story, including the main characters, supporting characters, and even the background.

While feeling both strange and proud, viewers were also worried, fearing that the story might contain some odd elements, such as stereotypes, or even something that might make them uncomfortable.

Can a Japanese person really create such a good work?

Previously, there were even people online who specifically talked about this kind of thing.

However, people later discovered that Naoto Yamashita wasn't purely Japanese; he actually had half Chinese ancestry. Because of this, many people suddenly felt a greater sense of identification with him, and the online discussion gradually subsided.

After the first episode aired, everyone was immediately captivated by the story.

Especially for those who haven't read the comic, after watching the first episode, they realized that this is not a food-themed anime at all, but rather a Hong Kong-style martial arts comic disguised as a food-themed work.

Especially when the food appeared, the golden light that burst forth was so dazzling that it blinded everyone.

Good heavens! Golden light appears in your cooking?! What did you put in the dish?!

When that mouthwatering dish was placed in front of the audience, everyone was completely overwhelmed. Such delicious food, only to be seen and not tasted, was simply unbearable!

The most authentic reflection of the fervor surrounding Chinese culture is the overwhelmingly positive feedback received on the forum.

I'm so hungry! Does anyone know where I can get the food from the famous "Cooking Master Boy" restaurant?

[I'm hungry too! This is outrageous! How can someone who grew up in Japan have such a deep understanding of food?]

I'm speechless. I've been cooking for over a decade, and this is the first time I've ever seen food that actually shimmers with a golden light. Does that mean I've been making fake food all these years?

[You can't see it during the day, but you can't escape it at night. When you're trying to lose weight, it's there day and night—it's a nightmare!]

The artwork here is simply outrageous! I heard the artist even consulted with a chef? Does anyone know this chef? I'm quite curious.

[This must be the child of Chef Liu. I heard he went to Japan to pursue his career; I never expected he'd know this author.]

[It's said that this manga is extremely popular in Japan, and that during its serialization, all the Chinese restaurants in Japan were packed?]

Inside a villa, a young man named Yang Wei is watching the first episode of "Chinese Idol" on his computer.

The boy had already become a loyal fan of Naoto when the Bloodline anime was updated last year. He hadn't missed any of Naoto's works, and he even spent a lot of money to buy some of Naoto's single-volume comics that hadn't been published overseas.

This time, after watching "Cooking Master Boy," I was especially excited. As expected, my idol is amazing. Anything produced by ONE is bound to be a masterpiece!

"Xiao Wei, it's time to sleep. Don't you have class tomorrow?"

Just as the boy was about to watch "The Legend of Chusen" again, his mother's voice came from outside the door.

Just then, a very beautiful woman walked in. Upon closer inspection, she bore a striking resemblance to Naoto's younger sister, Reika.

"Okay, Mom, I'll go to sleep in a bit."

Hearing his mother's urging, the boy readily agreed, but his right hand had already clicked the video play button.

"You silly child, you're looking at these things again."

Seeing her child watching anime on the computer again, the boy's mother sighed helplessly. Although she didn't care much about her child's academic performance, he couldn't just watch anime all day.

"What's the big deal? I've already learned everything I learned at school, so what's wrong with taking a look?"

Upon hearing his mother's words, the boy couldn't help but complain.

As a gifted teenager, Yang Wei was basically not challenged by anything in school, and his academic performance was always among the best.

As a top student with a very wealthy family, his hobbies are quite strange.

That is, a crazy obsession with comics and anime, and a dream of becoming a professional in the animation industry.

For some reason, whenever Yang's mother saw her son, she couldn't help but think of her second brother who had run away to Japan.

Yang's mother was really afraid that her son would leave home like his uncle and go out to make his own way in the world.

It was precisely because of her second brother that Yang's mother dared not push her son too hard, fearing that the child might do something rash and run away from home.

At this point, some of you may have already realized that the boy's mother is actually Naoto's father's sister, Naoto's aunt.

After hearing his mother's words, the boy's face fell.

Chapter 136: Naoto's Family

“ONE is my idol. He’s not only great at comics, but he’s also said to be the number one oil painter among the younger generation in Japan. Besides, what’s wrong with drawing? I want to be like ONE and work hard to become an excellent person.”

"Alright, alright, I don't know who this ONE is. Anyway, just don't imitate your uncle. Your grandfather hasn't been feeling well lately, and your eldest uncle's family is busy with work. If you have time, go visit your grandfather."

Yang's mother was at her wits' end with her son. She had no idea who this so-called ONE was, that he could be so infatuated with her son.

After leaving her son's room, Yang's mother found her husband standing at the door, secretly listening to the sounds coming from inside.

Seeing her husband's furtive behavior, Yang's mother sighed and said to him irritably, "I'm telling you, if you care about the child, at least go in and say a few words. What kind of father are you?"

"Well, isn't this just because they're afraid I'll go in and make things worse? Haha, wife, how's the child?"

"What else can it be? He's completely obsessed with that Japanese manga artist. Yao Yao has also recently become interested in that artist under his influence. I don't know what kind of charm that artist has, but both of my kids are completely captivated. Seriously, what kind of mess have we made?"

At this moment, Yang's mother said to her husband with a headache.

"Could it be ONE? He's really an amazing person. As far as I know, he's only a high school student right now, but he's already making a name for himself in the Japanese art world and is currently the best-selling manga artist in Japan. It would be great if my son took him as his idol."

"Why are you praising it now? What, did you even go and look into it?"

"It's because of work, I've heard a bit about it, and I've heard that this kid is quite inspiring."

Since Yang's father was a government employee who was in charge of importing overseas works, he knew a little about it. Yang's mother didn't pay attention to the reasons her husband gave.

"How to say?"

"It is said that this child's parents both died in a plane crash the year before last, leaving him to take care of his sister alone. Then, a year later, he actually became a very popular cartoonist. That's really amazing."

"What's the use of being a great artist if you're not going to let your child become one? It's just outrageous."

At this point, Mr. Yang hesitated, as if he had something on his mind that he hadn't told his wife.

"What's wrong? Why are you stammering? Just say what you have to say."

"Well, actually I've seen photos of that painter named ONE, and for some reason, I always feel that he looks a lot like your father."
