Chapter Eighty-Six: The Ghost of Pu Sakura
Judging from the character design and story outline that Miyahara Jing came up with, this is not a work in essence, but it is still a path of exquisite character design and beautiful painting style. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This can basically be said to be familiar to the current Simariel.
Of course, what he came up with is only the character design and outline setting, the main role is to control the direction and backbone of the work, and the detailed plot filling and the flesh and blood of the story have to be done by the drama team.
So, it's impossible to make the exact same story.
Fundamentally,The ontology of the Sakura ghost is a female love orientation.,That is, the anti-body of GalGame.,A game for girls to play.,It's impossible not to put some effort into the setting of male characters.。
Although it's a completely different era background and story composition, if it can be serialized, the Ka Sakura Ghost and the previous Uraran High School Men's Public Relations Club overlap in terms of target readers.
These are all comics with the characteristics of the reverse harem, but Urouran is in a funny style, while Pu Sakura is more serious.
To put it simply, the story of a heroine staying with a bunch of beautiful male characters, as long as the interaction between the characters is a little more, can easily be regarded as a work against the harem.
If it's a love game, the player plays the heroine, and the male protagonist has equal selectivity, the story is divided into lines, and each line is independent of each other, basically does not affect each other, but if you do comics, you have to make trade-offs for the male characters.
Score male 1, male 2 to male N.
Of course,Comics can also be like games,Separate each male character,Make a work similar to a unit drama with complementary influences.,In fact, the original comic version of the Sakura ghost did this.,This may be the request of the original game.,Or it may have the meaning of pleasing fans of different characters.。
However, this approach can easily cause the repetition of story events, plot conflicts, and a sense of separation in fluency, resulting in the loss of story and coherence.
Events that are repeated many times that make the reader feel familiar, even if they are described from a different perspective, are likely to make the reader lose patience.
Wouldn't the reader get bored of describing the Ikedaya incident from the perspective of Tokiyama Hijikata, the Ikedaya incident from the perspective of Soji Okita, and the Ikedaya incident from the perspective of Shinpachi Nagakura?
So if you want to do a serialized comic, the male characters are also divided into levels and priorities, and you must make trade-offs between the story and the male protagonist.
If you do this, then the identity of the actor is self-evident, and it should be the deputy head of the new writing group, Hijikata Suizo.
After all, the word "Pu Sakura Ghost" itself refers to the person of Hijikata Suizo.
In other words, if you divide the line, the comic should take the earthwork line, which is also the line of the animation of the original work.
The choice of this line was determined by the position and role of Toshizo Hijikata in the new writing group, he was the deputy head of the new writing group, formulated strict rules in the bureau, and was the last person to die for the Tokugawa shogunate and the "samurai spirit", who witnessed the whole process of the new writing group from scratch, from prosperity to decline, and experienced all the "big events", including the beheading of the director Kondo Isamu and the death of the captain of the Ichiban team and the first swordsman Okita Soji and so on.
Therefore, this line is not intended to be the one with the richest plot content and emotional experience, and it is easy to do brilliant and exciting.
Unlike works like Rogue Kenshin, no matter what form Kenshin uses, on the whole, it is not detached from reality, and it is just an exaggeration at best, but the Sakura Ghost is different, and this work has a certain utopianism.
The enemies of the new group are not only ronins, but also creatures such as rakshasas and ghosts.
The general plot of the Kamakura Ghost is that a young girl named Chizuru Yukimura came to Kyoto in search of her missing father, but was captured because she witnessed the process of the Shinsho team killing the rakshasas, and she has been guarded in the Shinshokumi's camp since then, and gradually changed from a distrustful "suspicious element" to a companion of the Shinshokumi.
In her search for her father, she learns the secret of Shinsengumi and herself - she is a woman with the blood of the demon clan, which is why she has the ability to heal herself instantly after being injured.
The heroine of this manga is the narrator of the story, and although she participates in the main activities of the new writing group, she is really only a bystander to these events.
That is, no matter what her activities are, the predetermined fate of the predetermined character cannot be changed.
So based on historical facts, most of the main characters in this story are going to die, because the new group itself is a destroyed organization.
So if you want to distinguish between joy and sorrow, this is probably a work with a tragic orientation, and in fact most of the stories that are related to the new writing team are like this.
From this point of view, the structure of this story is relatively simple, and it only needs to use the identity of the heroine to connect the events experienced in the history of the new writing group, plus some originality.
However, since it is to be serialized in a shoujo manga, it is necessary to moderately cut some unnecessary battles and bloody scenes, and increase the love elements and plot.
The male protagonist in this work doesn't need to have so much smooth action when fighting, but he needs to draw a knife and be handsome.
If it's different from the general love system, the most important thing is the sadness of the style of the times and the direction of the plot.
Is this following the trend? Indeed, because after all, if it weren't for the popularity of the rogue Kenshin, Miyahara Jing probably wouldn't have made such a work at this time.
But in terms of actual content, this is just a love comic with a new group of skins and a gimmick, and there is only an atmosphere for the special historical period, without that kind of seriousness and thickness.
Of course, at present, this work is still only in the setting and story outline, and the detailed plot has not yet been made, but that is no longer the part that Miyahara Jing is responsible for.
For the story to really start serializing, it will have to wait for the end of Heaven's Kiss.
In terms of substitution, in fact, the two are not very compatible and counterpointed, and the Sakura Ghost can't make up for Simiel after the end of Heaven's Kiss, and in terms of work sales, this work basically has no hope of being sold in a single book.
However, this can be regarded as enriching the story type of Similil, and if you distinguish it from the era, the Sakura ghost is adding the era of love works to Seemaril.
As for the specific reaction of readers to this work, it is still the same sentence, which will not be known until the serialization begins.
