Shonen manga and shoujo manga can sometimes be difficult to distinguish.

It's like Yuu Watase's "Incredible Game", which some people will mistake for a shonen manga.

In fact, this misunderstanding is understandable.

Take "Inuyasha" as a comparison, Yuu Watase and Rumiko Takahashi are both female manga artists, "Incredible Game" is also a fantasy genre, both manga tell the story from the heroine's first perspective, why is "Inuyasha" a boy manga, and "The Incredible Game" is a shoujo manga?

Is it just the messiness of the storyboard as the basis for judging whether it is a shonen manga or a shoujo manga?

Of course not.

According to Shen Xin's understanding, the basis for judgment is mainly the target audience.

If a manga has many female readers, then it is a shoujo manga, and vice versa, it is a shonen manga.

This goes back to the manga itself, being classified as a shoujo manga, indicating that this manga has elements that appeal to female readers.

Shoujo comics often take the heroine as the first point of view, and at the same time, there is often more than one emotional line related to the heroine, for example, there are often several handsome male characters around the heroine, and these male characters also have a good impression of the heroine, and the heroine also has a good impression of these characters.

For example, in "Men Over Flowers", there are Hanazawa, Daoming Temple, Misaku, and Ximen around Shancai.

"Inuyasha" is obvious, the dispute over the emotional line is mainly reflected in the emotional drama between Inuyasha and Kagome and Kikyo, Kagome's emotional line is relatively simple, and she likes Inuyasha. But "Incredible Game" is different, the heroine Yuki Mizhu is surrounded by Oniju, Emperor Caiben, Yu Liujuan and others, and many male characters are more beautiful than the heroine.

Of course, in juvenile comics, there are also comics where the female protagonist likes 2 male characters at the same time, for example, the author of Shen Xin's mark, Koji Seo, his comic "The Town Has You" has a female protagonist who likes 2 people at the same time, and the male protagonist is not the first choice, but after the death of another person, the female protagonist chose the male protagonist, which makes many readers have a lot of opinions about the female protagonist's approach.

These characteristics of juvenile comics are different from reality.,Why can the male protagonist like different girls.,And most female protagonists can only have a single relationship.,Like the male protagonist?

This goes back to the comics themselves, whether it is a shonen comic or a shoujo comic, they are all commercial creations, they all have target readers, and how to attract target readers is something that cartoonists must consider.

Of course, shoujo manga may also be BL comics, just like clamp's "Holy Biography", also known as shoujo manga.

In short, different types of comics have different readers, and if you want to increase sales, you must understand the preferences of your target readers.

"Warm Full House" is a common love comic, the heroine is introverted by nature, she is an inconspicuous girl at school, and in order to change her personality, the heroine begins to work as a maid in a café called "Warm Full House", but accidentally meets the school grass, which evolves into a love story.

The male characters around the heroine in the book are far more than just "school grass", or rather, there is more than one school grass in the school, there are cold and irritable classmates, there are warm brother-type store managers and seniors, and there are younger brother-type juniors...... In short, similar to the royal sister and Lori in the juvenile comics, there are all kinds of male characters in "Warm Full House".

Xi Muhan leaned on Shen Xin's shoulder, his eyes aimed at the computer screen.

The "National Journey" she created is a girl-oriented light, and it is also a girl's comic that has been changed into a comic, but in addition to "National Journey", this is the first real girl's comic she has read, and it is still with Shen Xin, which makes her even happier.

"Warm Full House" has a total of more than 100 words so far, and Shen Xin roughly read forty words, and then handed the notebook to Xi Muhan.

"Don't look at it?" Xi Muhan asked.

"It's time to sleep...... It's going to be one o'clock at night. Shen Xin yawned.

"That'...... Brother, I haven't read much of the shonen manga, what do you think of this one? Xi Muhan asked rhetorically.

"I haven't seen it either." Shen Xin shook his head, "However, judging from the first forty words, it's not bad." There's a lot of room to play in the back. ”

"Huh?"

"You see, the heroine made many people think that these were two people by changing their hairstyle, clothing, and whether they wore glasses, and the portrayal of the four male protagonists was also very successful, and the behavior matched the personality, which gave these characters a three-dimensional effect. Also, at the beginning of the story, many details are not elaborated. For example, the heroine lives alone, but whether the family background is good or bad, does not intuitively tell the reader. She is an introvert and would not have applied for a maid, but there must have been an opportunity for her to make a change. Also, the four male protagonists also have a lot of details that have not been elaborated, and it is roughly estimated that the current foreshadowing is enough to support two hundred words. Although Wei Mao often appears on TV, his works are not bad. ”

"Comics are obviously okay, why is Wei Mao in such a hurry to record the show?" Xi Muhan was puzzled.

"Because I want to be known to readers as soon as possible, the work and the author."

"But...... Wait until the anime comes out, isn't it the same? Xi Muhan was puzzled.

"It's not the same. A manga serialized on a second-tier website, if you want to make an animation, it will drag on for a long time, and because of the uncertainty of the future, investors will also be cautious about this work. But after Wei Mao's many appearances, he also became famous in the circle, especially recently, using Luo Zheng, Duan Ping and Ye Hexu as supporting roles, inadvertently elevating his status in the circle...... It seems that the program team has really made a lot of money. Shen Xin chuckled.

From this point of view, it is fortunate that he participated in the annual meeting of "Young Leap" at the beginning, otherwise, he would be the one who played a supporting role.

"Can't other cartoonists feel it?"

"They may not feel much when they're recording, but it's a cut video in post. The other three people didn't know how to cut the program team. Shen Xin spread out his hand, "To be honest, in fact, it's good to create a famous star in the comic circle." can make more people pay attention to the comic circle, and from this point of view, Wei Mao has done a good job. However, there should soon be points of divergence. ”

"Huh?"

"Do you continue to follow the path of stardom, or sink your heart and focus on your works. Actors have to go through this principle, let alone cartoonists. At the end of the day, a cartoonist is a behind-the-scenes profession. Always in front of people, how can there be time to precipitate works? Shen Xin stood up, "Let's go, it's time to rest." ”

"Oh!" Xi Muhan closed his notebook and stood up.

"Next comic...... Do you have any ideas? ”

"I want to draw a royal road comic. The ceiling of the royal road comic is a little higher. I'm not good at ......, though."

"Who said that. Haven't you ever drawn a book? Shen Xin turned around, looked at Xi Muhan, who was a little confused, and reminded, "Ding Shi is a royal comic. ”

"But...... Aren't royal road comics all that kind of bloody fighting? ”

"Not necessarily. "SLAM DUNK" is a royal comic, and in my opinion, "Chess Soul" is also a royal comic. Besides, whether there is a fight or not has never been the criterion for judging whether a manga is an evil way and a royal way, and Haruka Tamagawa's "Game" has more fights than many manga, but it is an evil manga. Shen Xin touched Xi Muhan's forehead, "So, don't care about this." You have to have an idea, 'I just want to create this type of manga,' so that maybe it's easier to create good work." ”

"Oh."

"Now, do you have any subjects you'd like to paint?"

"I still didn't expect it." Xi Muhan shook his head.

"Don't worry, there will be later." Shen Xin comforted.

……

After the latest episode of "Something to Say Tonight" was screened on the radio, it caused a lot of repercussions.

There are three main types of public opinion.

First of all, Ye Hexu was in a wheelchair, which caused heated discussions among everyone.

The direction of the development of online topics is unpredictable even for the parties involved. Ye Hexu sat in a wheelchair and covered his legs with a blanket, but many people were curious about whether he really broke his foot, and some people who had seen Ye Hexu said that Ye Hexu was actually not tall, only about one meter six, which found a breakthrough point for everyone's curiosity, which Ye Hexu did not expect.

However, Ye Hexu has rarely appeared on camera in recent years, and due to his height, he rarely takes photos with other people, so he can't find conclusive evidence for a while.

The second public opinion is that the content of the program has caused dissatisfaction among many netizens.

Duan Ping and Luo Zheng, who served as guests, expressed strong dissatisfaction on Weibo after the show was broadcast - Ye Hexu had no energy to get involved in this matter because Jian Xiaomei was pregnant.

The four of them do the show together, why can't they compare to Wei Mao?

The statements of the two accidentally poked the "hornet's nest", and Wei Mao's fans immediately fought back.

"Our family's Wei Mao is so cute, why do you embarrass him?"

"It's not that I didn't give you time to show your face, what are you dissatisfied with?"

"How to cut the video is the business of the program team, right? Why blame our family Wei Mao? ”

"I watched this episode just to watch Wei Mao. Without Wei Mao, who would read comics? ”

The readers of Luo Zheng and Duan Ping were not to be outdone, but helplessly, the "combat effectiveness" of the two sides was not at the same level, and in the face of the aggressive "attack", the readers of the two cartoonists could only retreat one after another, and finally lost their voices.

The third topic involves "Full House" itself.

Wei Mao's appearance once again attracted the attention of a large number of pseudo-comic fans, and the quality of "Warm Full House" itself is also good, making this comic appear on the Weibo hot list, and at the same time, Long Yao Animation also announced the production of the animation of "Warm Full House".

For a time, "Warm Full House" became one of the hottest comics in China, and Wei Mao himself has also become the object of yearning for many new cartoonists.

From debut to fame, and then to popularity, it was only two or three years, and these were enough to put the label of "genius" on Wei Mao's body, and another title, whether Wei Mao wanted it or not, was also attached to him - star cartoonist.
