Chapter 50: Millions of copies sold per day
(PS: Grand Chapter, 5349 words.) )
"Doraemon, what is this?"
Nobita looked at it curiously, then took it in his hand, looked left and right, and finally put it on himself and made a gesture.
"Well, it's called a boxing suit, and it allows the wearer to bring out the power of a professional boxer's strongest blow, but it can only be used three times a day. Although it can't be like in the comics, punch the flying monster, but it's still no problem to beat the fat tiger!"
Doraemon was on the side, happily introducing the boxing suit he took out.
"Really? yes, yes. ”
Nobita was excited, and with his fists, he accidentally hit Doraemon. Doraemon flew out, and his eyes were full of gold stars, and he fainted directly.
"Wow, that's amazing. ”
In the blink of an eye, the night passed, and the next day came.
Nobita hurriedly finished breakfast, wore a boxing suit and went to school, and on the way to school, he ran into Fat Tiger, Xiaofu, and Shizuka.
"Nobita, why are you dressed so strangely?" asked Shizuka with a curious expression.
"You don't know this, this is the costume of the strongest protagonist in a comic, the protagonist, but the one who can defeat all monsters with one punch. ”
"I don't believe it, but you show it to me. ”
Fat Tiger approached Nobita and stretched out his hand, that means, you quickly take it out and let me see it.
"Why should I show you?"
"Why? Nobita, I think you're itchy with your skin. Do you want to show me?" Fat Tiger rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight Nobita.
Seeing the posture of the fat tiger, Nobita's body couldn't help but tremble, and then he thought, I have a boxing suit, why should I be afraid of him?
If you don't give it to me, I'll knock him out.
"I'm not stingy for you to see. ”
As he spoke, Nobita took out a punch of the Superman comic from his schoolbag and handed it to Fat Tiger.
After the fat tiger got it in his hand, he began to look through it, and the more he watched, the more excited he became. While watching, he waved his fist as if he was Saitama and was destroying the weirdos.
"Fat Tiger, let me take a look too. The little man was on the side, and when he saw that the fat tiger was so fascinated, he also wanted to take a look.
"Wait a minute, I'll be done in a minute. ”
After Fat Tiger finished reading it, he handed the comic to the husband, and while the husband was reading it, Shizuka also came up.
Only then did I know that Nobita was imitating Saitama in One Punch Man.
"Wow, this protagonist is so powerful! I'm going to buy a copy and go back and read it. The husband looked adoring.
"Of course. Nobita said and shook his fist twice, as if he was the Saitama, and eliminated the stranger.
"Nobita, you're dressed like him, don't think you're really like him! Fat Tiger said with a smile next to him, and as he spoke, he rolled up his sleeve again.
"I don't borrow. ”
Nobita hurriedly took the comics back from the husband's hand and put them in his school bag. When the fat tiger saw this, his face sank.
"Nobita, do you want to borrow or not?"
"I don't borrow. ”
"Then look at how I clean you up. ”
The fat tiger rushed over and was about to beat Nobita. Nobita was scared, and the moment he rushed over, he was still a little scared, but when he thought that he had a suit, his heart was horizontal and he waved his fists indiscriminately.
Fat Tiger didn't care about Nobita's fists at all, when he bullied Nobita before, his fists were weak, and this time Fat Tiger didn't care.
Boom!!!
After the fat tiger touched Nobita's fist, he flew directly out of ten meters and fainted on the ground, his eyes staring at Venus.
"Wow, Nobita, why did you suddenly become so powerful?" Shizuka was on the side, a little adoring.
"Shizuka, let's go!"
"Uh-huh"
Nobita and Shizuka walked towards the school together, talking and laughing. Here, Xiaofu hurried to see how the fat tiger was.
"Fat Tiger, are you alright?" he said, shaking Fat Tiger.
The fat tiger gradually came to his senses.
"Oh, why did Nobita suddenly become so powerful? No, I'm going to buy a One Punch Man comic, and I'll make the same set when I get home. ”
"Uh-huh, when we're done, let's go to Nobita to settle accounts. ”
The fat tiger got up with a grunt, patted the dust on his body, and hurriedly ran towards the school with his husband, if he didn't go, he would be late.
On campus today, almost every class is discussing the cartoon One Punch Man, not only in Nobita's school, but also in other schools across the country.
Because there are many people, they are in the same situation as Nobita's family. Whether it is a bookstore or a newsstand, the place where "Bosom Friend Manshe" is sold is too hot, people are crowded, and people are crowded.
I couldn't buy the "Bosom Friend Manshe" that my child wanted, so I bought a few cheap copies casually, some of them may have bought One Punch Man at home, and some of them didn't.
At home when I bought a Punch Man comic, at first, the children were not satisfied, but there was nothing to read, so I had to settle for it.
I didn't expect ...... This will be completely fascinating. And, kids, exciting things are always shared with friends.
So the next day, on all campuses, in all classes, at the end of class, they were talking about One-Punch Man.
"Do you know what comic I read yesterday?"
"What comics?"
"One-punch Man, the protagonist in it is so powerful, one punch, just one punch, knock down the super terrifying weirdo, super powerful. ”
"One Punch Man?" is it a new comic?"
"Yes, yes, it's a new comic of Genesis, not only the protagonist is powerful, but there is also a robot that is super powerful. You can emit that kind of super powerful flame, and then you can burn a whole bunch of mosquitoes!"
"Wow, is it really that powerful?"
"Uh-huh. ”
"I'm going to get a copy after school at noon. I'd love to see it now!"
"I didn't bring it, but if I did, I could borrow it from you. ”
"It's okay, I'll go buy a copy after school at noon in a while. ”
In a large supermarket, a cute girl has just finished changing her clothes and is ready to go to work. The sister paper who was traveling with her asked excitedly.
"Have you seen Oda Nobuaki's new work?
I saw that after hearing this, this cute girl showed a deep disappointment on her face and sighed.
"No, I didn't squeeze in yesterday. ”
"Also, there are a lot of people, but fortunately I grabbed a copy, haha. ”
"But, it doesn't matter, I bought another manga, and the Genos in it is so handsome, I feel even more handsome than Junya Ishigami in the future samurai. The cute girl paper was intoxicated, immersed in indescribable fantasies.
"Genos? Which comic is that?"
"One Punch Man, a new comic book from the creation of the world, super good-looking, although the protagonist is very powerful, one punch can defeat the villain, but I still like Genos, super handsome when he fights the villain. It's not like the protagonist, he looks like a boiled egg, and his moves are ordinary. ”
"Ouou, I'll buy a copy after work in a while and take a look. ”
In the office of a large parts company, two otaku are chatting.
"Have you seen Nobuaki Oda's new work?"
"Kagura inside, it's kawaii, I really want to marry her!"
Seeing Otaku A's cranky expression, Otaku B glanced at him disdainfully.
"emmm, I've seen the Onmyoji, but I also bought One Punch Man from the Creation Comic Society, let me tell you, the mosquito children in One Punch Man are real...... Kagura can't compare to her at all. I decided, she's my new goddess, it's just a pity that she was punched to death by the protagonist, alas......"
Otaku B sighed, and after a few seconds of sighing, a raging war appeared in his eyes again.
"Damn, the protagonist doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all, if only I was here, I must beat the protagonist down, and my mosquito queen, live in a two-person world. Hey, hey, hey. ”
Otaku B is a portrait of a pig brother, and his saliva is almost all over the ground.
"It's really ...... than Kagura"
"I believe that I am also a man, you will never regret it. ”
"Then I'll get off work at noon and buy a copy later. ”
The morning was extremely long, and for students who wanted to buy comics, they didn't have the heart to go to class at all, and they were all looking forward to a faster time.
And the people who go to work are also scratching their hearts and looking forward to the time to pass faster, get off work, hurry up to the bookstore, and buy a one-punch man comic.
Even more difficult are Kenjiro Ezoe and President Ryosuke Yamada. The feedback information in the morning is all One-Punch Man comics, and no one cares about it.
It's the second day, and Ryosuke Yamada has no bottom in his heart. Do you want to take One Punch Man down and replace it with another comic?
But the damage caused by the One Punch Man comic is incalculable. Unless, a punch superman explodes. Otherwise......
Ryosuke Yamada paced back and forth in his office, irritable, and the cigarettes were lit one after the other, filling the room with smoke.
After thinking about it, Ryosuke Yamada decided to make another preparation, so Ryosuke Yamada called Yoshihiro Omura.
"I remember that you have a manga artist named Naotai Takahara, right?
"Mmmm, the work that just finished is called the Soul Sealer, and I'm about to serialize this comic! When Yoshihiro Omura saw Ryosuke Yamada say this, he guessed that President Yamada might be ......
"Prepare his manuscript, if One Punch Man doesn't sell well today, he will be on his comics tomorrow, and I will communicate with the printing company and rush to produce it overnight. ”
"Okay, understood. ”
Yoshihiro Omura left the president's office, unexpectedly his guess came true. At this time, I really hope that One-Punch Man, continue like this, and don't break out.
In this way, Naotai Gao below himself will be able to get more resources. If other well-known manga artists in the creation had finished their works, it would not be Naotai Plateau's turn to spare the Soul Sealer manga.
When Naoyasu Takahara heard the news that Yoshihiro Omura told him, he was very excited, he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to serialize the first edition of the new manga.
This time it's an opportunity for Naotai Takahara, if One Punch Man continues and no one buys it.
It's noon in the blink of an eye.
The major schools are out one after another, and students of all grades, who like One-Punch Man, are crazy and flock to the newsstand next to the school.
"Boss, give me a one-punch man. ”
"Boss, I want a copy too. ”
"I want it too, I want it too. ”
"I'll have a copy too. ”
"Anything else? I'll have a copy too. ”
The owner of the newsstand looked at the boundless students around the newsstand, and he was stunned, what is the situation? What is One-Punch Man?
"Are you mistaken, I don't have any One Punch Man cartoons here. ”
"The boss is that. "There are tall students, and one finger is behind the boss of the creation of the first edition of the new comic serial.
"Oh, you're talking about this, yes, yes. ”
The boss said, turned around, took out dozens of books and put them on the counter.
"9 yen a piece, don't squeeze it, you have it. ”
These students, who have been seen before, have been planting grass so hard that they have endured several classes and are waiting for school to come.
"Boss, do you still have three copies? ”
"Boss, I want ten copies. ”
If you want a lot, you buy it for other people.
"Are you all going to serialize the first new manga in the back of you?" the boss stopped collecting money in his hand and yelled at the back, for fear that the twittering students wouldn't hear it.
When the students heard this, they nodded their heads in unison.
Seeing this, the boss hurriedly called the Qingfeng bookstore where he delivered the goods.
"Hey, Tanida-kun, I'm here at the No. 2 Middle School News Booth, do you still have a new issue of the first edition of the new comic serialized in your warehouse? Give me 5,000 copies first, no, no, 8,000 copies first. ”
The newsstand owner hung up the phone, ready to continue collecting money, and thought again, it might not be too much to wait for the bookstore to deliver.
Another call to his son.
"Where are you? Get back to me, drive to Qingfeng Bookstore to pick up the goods, quick, quick. ”
And the owner of Qingfeng Bookstore was also confused at this time, and he had already received calls from the owners of several newsstands.
All of them are serialized in the first edition of new comics with as few as 5,000 copies and as many as 8,000 copies. Shouldn't it be the onmyoji who is popular now? If you want goods, you should also want "Bosom Friend Manshe"!
Anyway, I don't have that much in my warehouse!
The owner of Qingfeng Bookstore hurriedly called the Genesis Comics Society.
Jingle bells, jingle bells.
The operator of the Genesis Comics Club was dozing off when he was suddenly woken up by a series of rapid phone ringings.
Although I wanted to lose my temper, it was my job, so I could only hurry up and answer the phone.
"Hey, this is the Creation Comic Society, may I ask if there is a ......" Before he finished speaking, he yelled on the other side.
"I'm the owner of Qingfeng Bookstore, and I need 50,000 copies of the first edition of the new comic book here. It's now, it's now. No, no, no, give me 80,000 copies, now and now. ”
"Wait a minute, are you sure you want 80,000 copies? Are you sure you want the first edition of the new comic series?"
The operator's face was incredible, but she knew what kind of comics the first edition of the new comic was serialized, and the amount sold yesterday was not much at all.
"Sure, it's urgent, and I hope it will be shipped right away. ”
"Okay, okay. ”
As soon as the operator put down the phone, the other operator's phone rang suddenly. Jingle bells, jingle bells.
The operator, hurry up and answer the phone.
"Hey, there, this is the ...... of creation"
"I'm the owner of Mingshi Bookstore, I need 30,000 copies of the first edition of the new comic series here, no, no, no, no, give me 50,000 copies, remember it's 50,000 copies, I want it now, I want it now. ”
"Okay, okay, I remember. ”
The operator who recorded it, and the operator who answered the phone before, looked at each other and felt that it was unlikely. But I couldn't have heard it wrong.
Don't...... One Punch Man comics are on fire?
After a few seconds, the phone rang again, and this time, all five phones rang, and the five operators were busy in a moment.
I just hung up the phone here, and the phone came in again.
One of the operators, seeing that the shipments were a bit too much, was afraid that the inventory would not be enough, so he went directly to Kenjiro Ezoe.
Knock knock!
"Enter. ”
As soon as the operator entered, he found that Kenjiro Ezoe was sighing with a sad face, holding a cigarette in his hand, smoking, extinguishing, and not knowing what he was thinking.
"What's the matter?"
"Editor, One Punch Man is on fire, One Punch Man comics are on fire, and now the phone calls for goods outside have been blown up, and now there are 500,000 copies of them. ”
"Oh, huh, what do you say?"
"One Punch Man comics are popular, and now the number of goods has accumulated to 500,000 copies. I want to ask, do we have enough stock?"
The cigarette that was extinguished again in Kenjiro Ezoe's hand snapped and fell to the ground. The heart is getting more and more excited, and the five ...... Fifty...... 500,000 copies? It's on fire, it's really on fire, it seems that my vision is okay, it's okay.
Great, great.
That is, the inventory seems to be only 200,000 copies, not counting the tens of thousands of copies that were sent out before, that is, the current inventory is less than 200,000 copies.
Kenjiro Ezoe didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly walked out of his office and walked briskly towards President Yamada's office.
"Yo, isn't this Jiang Tian's editor? What's wrong?
Kenjiro Ezoe ignored the editor's ridicule and ignored him.
"Cut, what's arrogant? It's strange that a punch superman can be hot, and it sold less than 10,000 copies on the first day, hehe. Wait, wait for the last two days to pass, and you'll be gone. ”
Knock knock!
"Enter. ”
"President's ......"
"What's wrong? Editor Jiang Tian, what's going on?"
"It's on fire, one punch superman is on fire. Jiang Tian Kenjiro's face was crimson with excitement, and he was about to speak incoherently, after all, the pressure of the past two days was too great, and he was a little depressed.
"What did you say?"
"President Yamada, One-Punch Man is on fire, and now we don't have enough inventory. Just the operator, who came to me and said that he wanted a punch man comics, has accumulated 500,000 copies. ”
"Really?"
"Really, we don't have enough inventory, you can think of a way!"
When Ryosuke Yamada heard this, he could finally relax after being depressed for a long time. What does the shipment of 500,000 copies represent? It means that you have made the right bet and represent your own genesis comic company, and it is very likely that you will go one step further.
Now, what other editor dares to say anything cold? 500,000 copies shipped is enough to shut them up.
Ryosuke Yamada hurriedly contacted a few of his good friends, who all run printing companies at home, so that they could send more people now, hurry up and get to work, and the sooner it was printed, the better.
Ryosuke Yamada asked the freight driver to drive directly to wait, print it out as soon as possible, and deliver it as soon as possible.
Ryosuke Yamada, who had everything arranged here, didn't expect that the next day's demand would be larger.
Yesterday, the main buyers of the One-Punch Man manga were students from major schools, and today, it has become a crazy purchase for all kinds of otaku and otaku.
After two days of fermentation, everyone's word of mouth has been passed on from one to ten, ten to hundreds, hundreds to thousands, and circles to circles.
In the end, such a new work, a newcomer, became popular directly.
As for Oda Nobuaki's Onmyoji? Who cares?
Saitama, who is invincible in the appearance, captures a large number of teenagers with heroic dreams. The renminbi warrior Genos captured the hearts of a large number of otaku girls. A variety of supporting roles and sexy female characters have captured a lot of otaku.
There are also a variety of superheroes, and there is always one for you. So...... In this country that already loves comics, One-Punch Man has completely become popular across the country.
Early in the morning, the phone in Ryosuke Yamada's office was blown up, and they were all big bookstores and big distributors in various cities across the country.
200,000 copies!!
300,000 copies!!
500,000 copies!!
700,000 copies!!
The final statistical results reached 3.35 million copies!! not only beating "Bosom Friend Manshe", but also crushing the highest single-day sales of 1.1 million copies of "Hot Serial" published by Chuangshi himself.
And with just three words, he won the comic that sold 3.35 million copies a day.
At this moment, one punch superman, one punch to seal the gods!
