May 1, 1993, this day seems to be very ordinary for many people, it is just an ordinary Labor Day.

But for those who pay attention to the two-dimensional culture, this day has an extraordinary meaning in future generations,

On this day, "Pokemon" was officially released in Fuso, and of course, along with 45 different Nintendo games, including two different platforms, GB and FC.

The other, there are six copies, which appeared in bookstores all over Fuso, and coincidentally, game cartridges, as cultural products, are also sold in bookstores.

In this day and age, half of the bookstore is always used to sell books, and the other half is used to sell game CDs, song music videos, movie videos, and console game cartridges.

In this day and age, bookstores are a paradise for all two-dimensional lovers.

On May 1st, different products from the same company gathered in the bookstore of Fuso at the same time.

On this day, there were two items in the most conspicuous place in the bookstore, one was the newly released "Final Fantasy 5" GB version of the game cartridge, and the other was stacked on top of each other to form the shape of a magical sword.

As early as when the bookstore opened, there were already many players queuing up in front of the bookstore.

This is not uncommon for people in the vicinity, the first day of every month is the time when Nintendo releases a new game of the month, and naturally many game lovers will rush to buy their favorite games.

In fact, if you run into Super Mario or Tetris, when a new product is released in a top-notch game like this, players who queue up to buy cartridges in front of the bookstore can travel hundreds of meters in one go, just like the people who queued up to buy Pixie Crispy Noodles in the first place.

However, today's popularity is obviously worse, even on the first day of sales, there are only a dozen or twenty players queuing up in front of a bookstore.

"It looks like there's not much to do this month!" The bookstore owner couldn't help but sigh when he looked at this scene.

Although the Final Fantasy series is also a little famous, there is still a certain distance from the real big deal, plus this is not FC's main new work on sale, just a fried cold rice work, and it is quite good to be able to have more than a dozen or twenty people queuing up to buy it.

"Boss, I'll buy a copy of Final Fantasy 5, the GB version!" In first place was a young man in his 20s, who rushed over to line up at 5:00 in the morning, and his little face was red from the cold.

"Here you go!" The boss handed a copy of Final Fantasy 5 to the young man, then picked up a book from his hand and introduced it to the young man, "This book seems to be written about how to play the game, are you interested in reading it?" ”

"How do you play the game?" Young people have been playing games for more than 10 years, but they have never heard of a book about how to play games.

So the young man curiously glanced at the title of the book, which was called "Sword Art Online".

It's a funny name!

"Boss, how much does this book cost?" The young man asked curiously.

"499 yen a copy including tax!" The boss laughed.

"It's cheap!" The young man was taken aback, and any copy of Fuso cost more than 1,000 yen, and the price of this book was half cheaper.

"Isn't the print quality of the book going to be terrible?" After finding out that the price was so cheap, the young man couldn't help but have doubts about the quality.

He glanced at the cover of the book, and then the whole person was shocked again.

Because what is drawn on the cover is actually two anime characters, a man and a woman, wearing neat swordsman costumes.

The boy was dressed in black, presided over a black sword, and made a parrying move.

The girl was wearing a white armor and holding a white sword in her hand, with a delicate and charming face.

"It's beautiful!" Seeing this anime girl, the teenager in reality couldn't help but breathe and play fast.

"This is a comic book?" The boy involuntarily asked the boss.

"No, it's it, you can just open it and see it!" The boss hurriedly said, and the boy quickly flipped through a few pages and found that it was all text.

This is very surprising, you must know that the cover of Fuso is either a simple text without any pattern.

Either that's some ukiyo-e style of traditional Japanese art.

Or, there is a photograph of the shameless writer himself.

Anyway, with an anime character picture as the cover, this is definitely something that a teenager has never seen before.

You must know that the reason why young people don't like to read it these days is because the stories in it are too boring, and they often like to tell some big truths and some tragedies to shock people's hearts.

Everyone has been so depressed these days, who wants to see a tragedy to torture themselves.

So when they see the covers of those traditions, the vast majority of young people lose 99% of their interest and put them on the shelf.

The so-called extreme must be the opposite, when the young man saw the cover, it was actually a pair of anime boys and girls, and this enthusiasm instantly soared.

What's more, this pair of teenagers and girls is also quite well drawn, and the exquisiteness of the characters has never been seen before, especially the pair of white combat boots on the heroine's legs, which actually painted a trace of white silk stockings, so that this teenager who was still a boy in his 20s, after seeing it, couldn't help but react a little radically.

In these years, the silk socks of anime characters, but they have not gone through more than ten years of exploration by the majority of painters, and have studied what different colors, color gradients, impasto, naturalness, light and shadow, flesh, golden ratio, two-point perspective, three-point perspective and other skills, people are simply painted black or white.

That's it, when the young man saw the white silk stockings with a hint of light, the young man couldn't stand it directly, and the small tent was even ready to move.

Ahem, such a beautiful illustration, of course, is the masterpiece of our Boss Jia, he doesn't want Asuna in this world to become a completely different look in the hands of other artists, so all the six character design work is done by our Boss Jia.

And all the color pictures that are very important are drawn by our Boss Jia for ten days and meticulously crafted.

This made a few people who knew the inside story fall to the ground for the five-body body that Boss Jia admired.

And the boy who saw the cover picture of Asuna couldn't stand it directly, and immediately grabbed the book, and said without hesitation, "Boss, I bought this book." ”

"Good!" The boss took the money, smiled, and then said, "Boy, there are five similar books here, you can take a look!" ”

"And five more!" The boy was taken aback, then looked over, and sure enough, he saw five other different ones.

The cover style of these covers is very consistent, they are all covers composed of various anime characters and scenes, but when it is magical, each character looks like he has a different feeling in it.

Seeing these characters, the boy felt as if he had seen different characters.

The most important thing is that these covers are all full of lust, no way, Boss Jia really knows too well, what will the teenagers like. And from the color picture 30 years later, even if the clothes are tightly worn, there is a temptation that is difficult for anyone to refuse.

"These paintings are so perfect!" The boy sighed involuntarily.

"Kid, buy a few more!"

"No, I'm home!" The boy hugged him and fled for his life.

Oh my God, if he didn't go home, he thought he would use all the money he paid for instant noodles to buy these.

As for the Pokemon that are also sold in bookstores

Nobody cares.
