Chapter 314: Ye Jun, Your Festival Is Over! (1)
After looking at the cover of the first volume of "Gintama", Kasahara blinked, looking a little surprised and a little hesitant: "This ...... This is supposed to be a samurai...... ......."
I saw that the person who was obviously the male protagonist on the cover had white hair, natural curls, dead fish eyes, red pupils, wearing red-edged navy blue clothes, covered with a kimono with blue patterns on a white background, and a wooden knife pinned to his waist.
Although Kasawara didn't understand why it was a wooden knife and not a real sword, it was clear that it was supposed to be a samurai.
But the question is - why is this samurai wearing leather boots? Why is this samurai's expression so frivolous and casual?
And what's the background to this?
Is this the Earth? Is this the star? Why is it like in the universe?
Just looking at this cover, Akira Kasahara thinks that this manga is a manga about samurai, but it is by no means a normal samurai manga!!
After opening "Gintama" and turning a few pages, he turned to the table of contents page.
Gintama Volume I
The first lesson - all the guys who are natural rolls are good people!
Lesson 2 - Owners take responsibility and take care of their pets until the last minute!
The third lesson, WORLDS, will be published on Saturday, so don't forget!
Lesson 4 - None of the people who have a good first impression are good people!
Lesson 5 - Even if you become an old man, you must have a good friend who can call each other nicknames!
Lesson 6 - Since you have time to commit terrorist acts, why don't you go for a walk!
Looked at the catalog. Akira Kasahara is even more confused, what does this mean?
This girl is really a catalog?!!
If I'm not learning my native language wrong, then - I can't guess what kind of story these six titles would be together!!
Natural rolls? Does it refer to the main character?
WORLDS? What's that? Saturday? Is it this magazine?
But we don't seem to have a magazine called WORLDS in our island country!
Ahhh I guess it's the original magazine in this comic.
……
Actually, this is what Akira Kasahara doesn't know.
"WORLDS", this is the name that Ye Yu chose for the comic magazine he will create soon.
At the beginning, Ye Yu also thought about what to name the comic magazine, if you think of the previous life, the first impression is naturally inevitable - JUMP!
The full name is "Weekly Shonen Jump"!
The first manga magazine in the island country, undisputed!
"One Piece". "Dragon Ball", "Naruto", "Slam Dunk". "Bleach Reaper", "Hunter Full Time", "Rogue Kenshin", "Gintama" and many more. There are countless classic manga serialized on it.
But. That doesn't mean it's representative of the entire island nation.
The other two of the three major shonen manga weekly magazines are much worse than JUMP, but they also have a certain strength.
"Weekly Shonen Sunday" has "Detective Conan", "Baseball Heroes", "Whirlwind Butler", "Inuyasha" and many more.
"Weekly Shonen Magazine" has "Kanedaichi Shonen Incident Book", "Fairy Tail", "First God Fist" and so on, oh. By the way, many Chinese's childhood memories in the previous life "Chinese Little Master" were also serialized on it.
Other than that. Even these three major shonen manga weekly magazines can't represent the entire island country anime.
Many manga adapted from light novels or original anime works, as well as some healing manga and shoujo manga, are not serialized on them.
The manga version of EVA was serialized in Monthly Shonen Ace.
"Shana with Burning Eyes", the comic version of "A Certain Science's Super Electromagnetic Cannon", etc., were serialized in "COMIC Electric Shock King".
"Attack on Titan" was serialized in "Besshoi Shonen Magazine".
"Natsume's Friend's Account" was serialized in "LaLa".
As for shoujo manga such as "NANA", there are some other monthly manga magazines, which are also missing out on the three major shonen manga weekly magazines.
And Ye Yu plans to integrate all kinds of classic comics into one magazine and make it a legendary-level comic magazine!
When you think about it, when all the classic manga of the previous world are gathered into one magazine, it is not too much to call this magazine a legend, because it is the essence of anime in one world!
In this way, it is natural that the name of a magazine in a previous life cannot be used.
Therefore, Ye Yu planned to take one for himself.
After thinking about it, he decided on the name WORLDS, which means "every comic is a world".
It's almost the same as the English name of his "World" music site, except that one is plural and the other singular.
And Saturday is the publication date set by Ye Yu for "WORLDS".
……
Somewhat confused by this catalog, Kasahara shook his head, stopped thinking, turned the next page, and continued to read.
The first few pages explain the background of the story - the invasion of the cosmic race "Celestials", the suppression of the samurai, and even the abolition of the sword decree issued by the shogunate.
And with those background narrations and occasional dialogues, there is a scene of a teenager being bullied.
"Typical hero's approach." Akira Kasahara muttered.
Sure enough, our wise and martial actor appeared!!
Although the reason given by the male protagonist when he taught the celestials made Akira Kasawara speechless - his chocolate sundae was knocked over - but ......
"Although this swinging action is a bit messy, and a little rude, as if relying on brute force, it may be that the opponent is too weak, and the protagonist disdains to use swordsmanship! Not...... Now the protagonist has finally appeared. Looking at this scene, this should be the bloody story of a samurai who fought chivalrous and carried forward the soul of a samurai in this era of rampant heaven and man! Akira Kasahara thought so and continued to read.
And then...... And then......
"Poof~" Akira Kasahara spurts out a mouthful of old blood!
I saw that our wise and martial protagonist was doing chivalrous righteousness, and after saving the boy, he would ...... Pin the murderous wooden knife to the young man's waist!
pinned the wooden knife of the murderer to the young man's waist...... The wooden knife of the murderer was pinned to the young man's waist...... Pinned to the boy's waist...... It was on the waist of the boy...... Teenager waist ...... Year waist ...... Waist ...... Space......
"Ye Jun! You're a god turn! Kasahara shouted, but he couldn't help but smile when he looked at the manga.
"Hahaha~ It's so fun!' A clerk who can't operate a cash register is as useless as a mother who can't cook fried rice, what are you doing with your mother?! Poof~ Halfway through the fight, you actually ran back? Gin-chan, can you be a little funnier? Where's your samurai soul?! Where's your samurai spirit?! And this playful expression, Gin-chan's dead fish eyes, unexpected development, it's so funny! Akira Kasahara smiled and complained as he watched.
"What adult would watch a girl being chased and killed by the underworld and ignore it?"
"Ah, I'm just a teenager at heart, and in our country, the one who can hold the little sheep (battery car) with one hand is not called a girl, but a mountain gorilla."
……
Paragraph after paragraph of funny dialogues and complaints, coupled with the expressions and movements of the characters, the undisciplined protagonist made Akira Kasawara laugh constantly while watching.
And on the same day, countless people from the island countries exclaimed one after another, blurting out the same sentence - "Ye Jun, your festival is gone!" ”
