In 2002, the atmosphere in Japan suddenly became hot. There were so many big events happening in Japan this year.

On January 1, sexy singer Ayumi Hamasaki released her latest album and started the peak year of her singing career.

The World Cup is about to kick off in Japan.

And for the Japanese otaku, the biggest event this year is probably the release of the second volume of "My Youth Love Story Really Problematic", which will start soon.

And this time there is a completely unexpected easter egg on sale.

On March 1, the Elementary School Hall issued an announcement: "Do you remember the big teacher who set off the craze of "Spring Things" last year? Do you want to listen to the proverbs of the great teacher in person? On March 12th, 14-year-old genius light novel writer Chen Xueqian invites you to open the latest chapter of "Spring Things". ”

When they saw this news, countless Japanese otaku were stunned.

What is the hottest topic among otaku in Japan today? That must be a big teacher, whether it is the male protagonist in the book, Hachiman Hikiya, or the author Chen Xueqian. are the hottest topics.

Hachiman's popularity is due to his subversive proverbs and aphorisms, which have an extraordinary sense of resonance for the otaku family. And Chen Xueqian's popularity is because of his age, his mystery, and the sensational counterfeiting case some time ago.

Although the Primary School Center issued a statement saying that Chen Xueqian had someone else, it has not released his photo and specific identity details. Therefore, countless book lovers are full of curiosity about this Chinese Chen Sang. And after this period of gestation, readers are becoming more and more curious about his true identity. It is this curiosity that has made Chen Xueqian gain extraordinary popularity and attention.

So when Shogakukan announced that he would hold a signing party in Japan, the Japanese otaku were overjoyed, and the otaku family said that they would definitely be there to see the true face of the great teacher Chen San.

However, unlike the readership of the Japanese otaku, the group of light novel writers has an ambiguous attitude towards Chen Xueqian's arrival.

When a reporter asked several Japanese light novel writers about this, these writers unanimously said: "Who is that?" Is there such a person in the world of light novels? I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't talk about it, because I haven't heard of it at all. ”

It's fine if it's one or two writers, but when the reporter asked around, he found that even the light novel writers who also distribute books in the Shogakukan all said: "I haven't heard of it." ”

It was only then that Japanese readers noticed that the great teacher himself, like the main character in his book, had become a completely unpopular saga among his peers.

For this result, the fans of the book immediately became angry.

You must know that the fans of "Spring Things" are mainly Japanese otaku. In fact, most of them have a phobia of social disorders.

In the entire Japanese public opinion, there is great dissatisfaction with this part of the population. They're under a lot of pressure all the time. They have been defined by countless mainstream voices as unenterprising, spiritually decadent, and the Beat Generation.

And they are surrounded by such voices, living a difficult life. The mental pressure of the otaku family can be imagined.

So when they see a novel in which the protagonist has the same otaku nature as them, the personality is highly similar to theirs, and he can always say all kinds of aphorisms that resonate and identify with them. The sense of identity in their hearts is also unusually strong.

At this time, it was not the era when the whole people in later generations were popular with self-blackening and self-deprecation. In 2002, the term otaku had a very strong pejorative connotation.

However, while countless book fans are indignant, the trend of public opinion on this matter in Japan's mainstream media is invariably biased towards the local writer community.

And in the Japanese publishing industry, this Chinese light novel writer is also not very popular.

This includes the prejudice against the Chinese that seems to be rooted in the blood of the Japanese, and the political influence of the resurgence of Japanese militarism in China.

Koizumi's visit to Yasukuni God, as it became widely known to later generations, took place next year. At this time, the direction of the political situation in Japan can be imagined.

So it is logical that countless slanderous words against "Spring Things" and Chen Xueqian frequently appear in various media.

"Chinese don't understand light novels at all!" One day, when a Japanese light novel writer was interviewed, he openly fired at Chen Xueqian.

This incident seemed to be the prelude to the condemnation and attack on Chen Xueqian, and suddenly countless light novel writers and Japanese cartoonists expressed that they did not welcome Chinese to enter the Japanese publishing industry.

For a time, there was a big discussion in the whole of Japan.

Those who demean "Spring Things" are shouting: "What kind of thing is this book? Are those views the way humans should be? This is a completely ******, ****** mental poison. ”

This view prevails in major newspapers and magazines.

On the Internet, it is the supporters of "Spring Things" who have the upper hand.

"What kind of books we like is our freedom, "Spring Things" is an unconventional work, and the ideas of the work are worthy of our deep reflection and learning."

More onlookers were worried or disgusted by Chen Xueqian's identity as a Chinese, and then disgusted with "Spring Things". For a time, Chen Xueqian's support rate in Japan became lower and lower. The opposition is getting louder.

After this situation lasted for a few days, the voices of fans of "Spring Things" were basically not heard in the entire public opinion.

In this extremely unfavorable environment, fans of "Spring Things" can only console themselves with the honor that this book is the number one best-selling work of its kind in the year. This is a testament to the excellence of this book. It has also become the last insistence of book lovers.

At this time, the situation of "Spring Things" in Japanese public opinion is like a copy of their otaku.

This makes them can't help but have a kind of thought, even if the whole world abandons us and belittles "Spring Things", we still don't give up.

At this time, all the book fans began to gather on 2ch, and everyone seemed to feel the tragedy of "Spring Things" when it was taken off the shelves again.

At this moment, the fate of "Spring Things" is no longer a matter of a novel, for them, it is more like a battle for this society to hear their voices. This battle is only to prove their existence, their worth.

Just when fans of "Spring Things" were holding on to the glory of being the number one seller of their kind, a cartoonist suddenly spoke out in an interview.

"Light novels? That's not mainstream at all! In Japan, manga is the strongest.,And it's just a single volume sales.。 Is this being boasted like this? ”

The cartoonist smiled contemptuously at the camera: "Why don't you let him compare sales with me?" Isn't it boasting about how good his sales are? By the way, it's better than me to win! Otherwise, as long as his book can sell half of my comics, what if I lose? Do you dare to compare? ”

As soon as the cartoonist's remarks came out, countless people were in an uproar. Is this a blatant declaration of war? But light novels and manga are not comparable at all!

Before 2002, the best score for a single volume of light novels was only 200,000 copies, and the manga was not known to be much higher.

At this time, the light novel was not the kind of sales that soared wildly after the crazy anime of later generations.

Even if it wins 3 years in a row, this light novel is really powerful, and the sales of "Spring Things", which is the champion, can't be compared with comics of the same ranking.

It's just that this kind of dumb book fan who loses "Spring Things" can't say it. It's not a challenge at all, it's a humiliation. This humiliation made all the book lovers feel angry, but they were helpless. I can only let this anger burn more and more in my stomach.

Just when Japan's condemnation of Chen Xueqian was rising higher and higher, Chen Xueqian was sitting leisurely in the plane flying at an altitude of 10,000 feet.

Next to him was Bai Feifei, who was dressed in a black skirt and wrapped in a pair of black silk warm pants around his legs.

At this time, Bai Feifei was reading a Japanese newspaper to Chen Xueqian. It's just that she reads it in Japanese.

Recently, Chen Xueqian was decisively entangled by Bai Feifei and frantically studied Japanese. All other time except eating and sleeping was occupied, and his foot injury gave Bai Feifei an excuse to restrict his freedom.

A few days before the appointment with the primary school hall, Chen Xueqian and Bai Feifei boarded the plane to Japan.

Regarding the recent outbreak of Japan's condemnation of Chen Xueqian, Bai Feifei has been paying close attention. It's just that she is at a loss in the face of this situation, while Chen Xueqian is completely like a nobody, taking care of herself and living a leisurely life.

Since leaving his hometown, Chen Xueqian's whole person seems to have suddenly relaxed, and he has really become very different. The body is full of freedom, the height has also increased significantly, and the complexion is no longer ugly. At first glance, there is a feeling of temperament and small Zhengtai.

"This person is so hateful, he shamelessly uses comics and light novels to compare sales, I have never seen anything more shameless than this." Bai Feifei pointed to a newspaper in which a middle-aged man approached Chen Xueqian and said.

Chen Xueqian silently pushed her body back.

"I just want to use the hype, ignore him."

Bai Feifei didn't seem to feel his movements, "Don't care about anything, he's slandered him like this, and this newspaper also lists the sales of your novels and the other party's comics, he is three times more than you!" ”

Looking at Bai Feifei with an angry face, Chen Xueqian burst into laughter.

"Okay, let's go back to Japan and meet him again."

Saying that, Chen Xueqian lay down in the chair, "No, I want to sleep, call me when it's time." ”

After finishing speaking, he stopped caring about Bai Feifei, closed his eyes and began to sleep.

Bai Feifei glared at him viciously, and continued to flip through the newspaper with an angry face.

The anger and anger between the scenes, the man next door to the aisle drooled and didn't know it.

Bai Feifei, who turned his head to look at the newspaper, didn't see it, and a playful smile flashed on the corner of Chen Xueqian's mouth who was lying on the side.

"Comics?"
