Chapter 572
The projector was turned on, and a blog post appeared on the screen.

Horikoshi Jinhei, a manga artist contracted by Shueisha, currently has a serialized work "Battle Star Kid".

"Hi everyone, I'm Horikoshi.

Recently, many people have asked me about my views on the current manga industry. As an old man who has been in the industry for 10 years, I will briefly say it here.

The comics nowadays are really not interesting at all——!
A large number of works with empty content and chaotic structures flooded into the market, which not only lowered the standard of the comic industry as a whole, but also disrupted the market, making readers' impression of our cartoonists also drop significantly!

Take the recent popular work "Chain Saw Man" as an example. It seems that many young people like this work, which is really incomprehensible.

I have also read this work, and I don’t find it interesting or commendable at all. The only bright spot is the author’s identity as a “high school cartoonist”.

Analyzing it from the perspective of comics, its painting style is as simple as a stick figure, without any technical content at all.

Although the character design is a bit new, it is only deliberately designed to look like an anti-routine.

As for the lines?I can only say that it is at a level that even elementary school students can write, and it makes people have no desire to read it.

the most important is--

The three views in the work "The Chainsaw Man" are very, extremely distorted!

The protagonist is a beast who only knows how to chase desire, and the content inside is also full of blood and violence!

The manga focuses on the scenes of the protagonist slaughtering other demons and being tortured by other demons. The scene is as explicit as a foreign B-movie!
I don't know what kind of mentality its creators drew this kind of thing.

But since he positioned his works as juvenile hot-blooded comics, didn't he consider that this would have a negative impact on minors?
A person's usual words and deeds can reflect his quality, and the same is true for comics.

It's hard for me to imagine that a normal person can draw such absurd and curious works, which are full of vulgar thoughts and negative energy.

As for Mr. Fujimoto, I would like to give some advice to this new manga artist.

Only relying on anti-routines and large scales to attract readers will not last long.

Showing off gimmicks can allow you to enjoy a temporary bonus, but not a lifetime.

If you don’t keep your feet on the ground to study painting skills, learn more and improve yourself, sooner or later you will be abandoned by readers and eliminated by the industry!

Don't say that you don't say it without warning--!

After reading this blog...

boom~
Ying Lili was so angry that she hammered the table, and said with righteous indignation: "What! What is this person doing? It is simply inexplicable!"

"Can't you see that, Sawamura?"

Shi Yu's face on the side was frosty.

"It's just that an author who is about to pass away is jealous of Yu-chan's achievements and wants to attract attention, so he came here to catch Yu-chan's popularity."

"Even if that's the case, there's no point in using this method, right? Standing on the commanding heights of morality and blaming others, it's disgusting!"

"I totally agree with this point, that's why I said he's dying, otherwise he wouldn't be free to rely on the old to sell the old, right?"

"Uh, sorry to interrupt you two..."

An Yilun also weakly raised a hand.

"Beforehand, I'm not trying to speak out for outsiders... But that Mr. Horikoshi Jinpei's grades are actually not bad, and the sales volume of his works is also in the millions. It shouldn't be described as overdone."

"Hey...is that why there are so many people discussing it online?"

Hui nodded slowly in a daze, then started to operate the laptop on the table and switched to the Twitter page.

This is Kanoko Hasumi, who brought it from the art department for projection for everyone's convenience.

"All in all, let's take a look at these claims on Twitter first."

So people turned their attention back to the screen.

On Twitter, the official account of "Shounen Undead" has become a mess.

"Ms. Horikoshi is a veteran manga artist that I have liked since I was a child. I only follow his works on Jump. It is really interesting!"

"Support Horikoshi-sensei! "Battle Star Kid" is the orthodox kingly manga, what kind of rubbish is "Chain Saw Man"?"

"I wondered, would anyone really like the hero in "The Chainsaw Man"? Isn't that a little hooligan who is loyal to his own desires? Fighting with men just kicks balls, and he is willing to be a dog for women. It's disgusting .”

"No way, no way? No one really likes a male protagonist like Denji, right? No one really thinks the distortion of the three views is a trend, right? (Laughs)"

"Let me just say it clearly. The male protagonist of "The Chainsaw Man" is a brainless and shameless imbecile. There is nothing to admire at all. He just keeps causing trouble for others."

"In comparison, how good is the hero of "Battle Star Kid"?

Although it was a bit weak at the beginning, but at the critical moment, it has a brave and willing to protect others, and you can see the growth of the characters.

But what about "The Chainsaw Man"?

Does he have other goals besides eating, rubbing breasts, sleeping with women, wanting to show off? "

"Ms. Horikoshi's words are still too gentle. The author who can draw a manga like "Chain Saw Man" must have a psychological problem, or else he has anti-social personality. It is recommended to treat it as soon as possible."

"To be fair, the hero of "The Chainsaw Man" does have problems, but considering his life experience, it's quite normal.

We can be more tolerant to him, so I chose to watch "Battle Star Kid", which is also a hot-blooded young man, at least there are no licking dogs who can take care of men's lives. (Bye-Bye)"

"With this rubbish manga and rubbish painting style, it can still sell [-] million? It's really incomprehensible."

……

The comments on the screen were all expressing dissatisfaction.

Different from the heyday in the past, the current "Chain Saw Man" seems to be a street mouse, and everyone shouts to beat him.

Looking at it, people couldn't help but gloomy.

"Okay, it's too much...!" Izumi Boshima covered his mouth with his hands, and was about to cry.

"This is already a personal attack!" Ying Lili slapped the table angrily.

"Huh... just calm down, Sawamura."

Shi Yu analyzed calmly.

"Even if we get angry here, it won't have the slightest effect on those people on the Internet.

The correct approach should be to find out their details first, it is best to find out their school, home address or work list..."

"—Don't say it, don't say it, senior sister!"

An Yilun also yelled: "It means that your thinking has gradually developed in a dangerous direction!"

"……strangeness."

Kanoko Hasumi asked wonderingly: "I remember that Kato-kun seems to have a lot of readers, right? Is there no one to help speak up? Megumi."

"Hmm... I'll look for it... Ah, there it is."

"Are you people sick? If you like watching "Battle Star Boys", go over there and blow it. What do you mean by coming to the Immortal River?"

"The author is not a god. It is impossible to draw a work that everyone likes. If you don't like it, just don't read it. Is it necessary to spray like this?"

"Let's just say that these two works have completely different worldviews! Is there any comparison?"

"What you said above is right, you can just watch whatever you like. There's no need to make comparisons, and there's no need to make personal attacks. Everyone is a nerd who likes comics, so it's better to be more harmonious."

"Come to other people's territory to ride face output, are you trying to provoke a holy war?"

It is a pity.

The comments from the readers of "The Chainsaw Man" did not bring peace, but made the opposite side even worse.

"I (Д≡д) bah,

With this rubbish painting style and mentally handicapped plot, how dare you call it a comic? "

"The original author is a shabi, the publisher is a shabi, and readers who like this kind of comics are also a shabi."

"Laughing to death, what about jihad, you group of elementary school students are also worthy?"

"What the hell is this author painting? What is the psychology of the people who follow this work? If all the works in the future are such bloody works, the industry will be pilled sooner or later."

Scroll down a few pages, all are similar remarks.

Often, just after posting a comment here, the other side will immediately reply with fierce words.

Affected, even some passers-by couldn't help saying a few words.

"It's so annoying. I usually don't like to read comics, but my friends around me are talking about "Chain Saw Man" recently. If I don't read it, I won't be able to keep up with the topic. I'm in trouble."

"That's right. By the way, this is already harassment by a chainsaw, right? I'm going to school, not talking about manga."

……

"Ah! I can't take it anymore!"

Ying Lili was furious and said: "What about the people in Undead River? Are they just letting their signature authors be scolded like this? Is there no one to take care of it or delete comments?"

"..."

Kato Yusuke looked calm, but he also felt a little puzzled in his heart.

After all, the two parties have always cooperated happily, and logically speaking, this situation should not have happened...

At this moment, his cell phone rang suddenly.

"Editor Suzuki"

The name of the caller is displayed on the screen.

Kato Yusuke made a voice-receiving gesture to everyone, then pressed the answer button and turned it into a speaker to play, and put the phone on the table.

"Good morning, Editor-in-Chief Suzuki."

There are some noisy voices coming from the earpiece.

"Good morning, Fujimoto tree-sensei...! With all due respect, do you know what happened on the Internet? If not, you don't want to..."

"Well, you're talking about the fact that someone played the rhythm on the Internet and slandered "The Chainsaw Man", right? I'm watching it now."

The words of the old editor-in-chief who was robbed froze, and then he smiled wryly, "I see, you already know..."

The other party paused, then continued.

"Well, now that you know it, I won't hide it from you. Basically, that Horikoshi Jinpei-sensei is really targeting you."

"Editor, do you know the reason?"

"Hmm... If there is no accident, it should be that the release date of the other party and your booklet happened to coincide, and then I heard that the sales there did not seem to be very good, so I deliberately found fault."

Before Kato Yusuke could respond, Shiwa grabbed the topic.

"Hello, editor-in-chief Suzuki, I'm Xia Shizi."

"...Eh, Teacher Xia Shizi?"

"I'm sorry to be rude. May I ask, how do you plan to deal with the remarks against Yu-chan on the Internet?

By the way, there was a lot of trash talking on our side before you called.You shouldn't let Yu-chan continue to be scolded like this, right? "

"Uh... Teacher Xia Shizi, please don't worry."

There was a sense of helplessness in the old editor's tone.

"In fact, our editorial department is already working on this matter, and everyone is busy deleting those comments...

But you and Fujimoto-sensei also understand the situation on our side. It is really a serious shortage of manpower in our manga department.

To tell you the truth, now even the daughter of my distant cousin is called to help by me. "

"Even so—"

Shiwa wanted to say something more, but Kato Yusuke gently pulled down his sleeve to stop him.

"...Yu-chan?"

"Okay, Shiba-senpai, editor-in-chief Suzuki and the others also have their own difficulties."

"Mr. Fujimoto, as long as you can understand!" the old editor-in-chief said with a headache.

"The main reason is that I suspect that someone from "Shounen Jump" is secretly making trouble. In addition, several other cartoonists also gave Horikoshi Jinhei a thumbs up and voiced their support.

They have too many readers, and our editorial department alone can't cope with it. "

"Other cartoonists...?"

Kato Yusuke murmured, and faintly heard a girl's voice in the next second.

"...Uncle Suzuki, what's going on here? Can you come here?"

"Come here—! I'm sorry, Mr. Fujimoto, let's do this first. Anyway, don't worry, we will try our best to deal with this matter!"

"Well, then I will trouble you all."

After making a guarantee that was not a guarantee, the old editor-in-chief hung up the phone in a hurry.

As soon as Kato Yusuke put away the phone, Shiwa immediately asked:

"Yu-chan, how do you plan to deal with the turmoil on the Internet? If it continues like this, it will affect you to some extent."

Not only her, but the other friends also looked dignified.

After the bad news just conveyed by the old editor-in-chief, the atmosphere in the conference room was very heavy.

"..."

Kato Yusuke looked around and said softly: "Okay, don't be so heavy. There is nothing to care about this kind of thing, we just need to do our own thing well."

"Huh? What are you talking about!"

Ying Lili stomped her feet anxiously, "Obviously everyone else treats you like this, why are you still so unhurried!"

"...About this, didn't you just say it? It's just a bunch of trolls and trolls, nothing to care about."

"It was just now, and now is now! Besides, the situation is obviously different now, isn't there several cartoonists boycotting you together?"

"I don't think there's any difference, and besides, it's meaningless to be angry with these people. If I explain it now, it will only make them more motivated, so let them vent their emotions."

Kato Yusuke looked calm and steady.

After all, those who fanned the flames on the Internet were nothing more than seeing him in the limelight and feeling jealous and jealous.

This kind of sour grapes mentality can be found everywhere, and it is really not worth mentioning.

Not to mention that arguing with these people is meaningless, and the other party will not stop attacking because of his response, but will only become more pretentious that he cares about them.

But in fact?
That's just a bunch of incompetent and raging trash men.

No matter how fiercely they scolded him, it didn't affect his money in the end.

As for proving yourself?

Kato Yusuke also felt that it was not necessary.

After all, it is more practical to make a fortune with a muffled sound than to make a big tree attract the wind.

So there's really no need to respond, it's just a waste of time.

He thinks so.

The others couldn't help but look at each other.
