Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 119 Single volume sales (first update!)

The first serialization of "Chainsaw Man" has been anticipated by many comic fans because it carries the residual popularity of "Edge Walker" and Lin Qingshan.

As a result, the popularity of the first serialization of "Chainsaw Man" lived up to expectations, climbing to the sixth position in overall popularity.

This is the so-called masterpiece effect.

With "Edge Walker" at the forefront, everyone has more expectations for "Chainsaw Man".

Although the demonic setting of "Chainsaw Man" is not uncommon, it is eye-catching.

But this setting is definitely not bad, especially the setting of the concept demon, which is a bit new.

After all, what age are we, and we are still playing with traditional demons and religions.

Its plot and opening are even more explosive.

Especially the scene where the protagonist Denji sells eggs to pay off his debts is really tragic and funny.

And the plot that starts directly with killing and flesh and blood is also very refreshing.

It feels completely different from the first episode of "Edgewalker" which only introduced the setting and the origin of "Sian Westan".

After all, "Chainsaw Man" was Lin Qingshan's previous work as a cartoonist with mental illness, trying to commercialize it.

So it’s more refreshing to focus on one plot.

Official posts and comments on major forums also gave it good reviews.

"As always, it can be seen that the old thief Qingshan is not in a normal state of mind. This plot is so out of the ordinary that I was stunned for a while."

"After all, he is a cybermaniac, so it is understandable."

"Good guy, this male protagonist is probably the most miserable male protagonist I have ever seen. He has no father or mother, and he has to sell his own organs to pay off his debts."

"It looks really miserable, not only because of my miserable life experience, but my biggest dream is to eat bread with butter."

"Don't forget there are women, hahaha, it's so straightforward."

"You can look forward to it. Anyway, I enjoyed watching the first episode."

"The heroine is also quite special. The female characters drawn by Mr. Qingshan are really special and charming. Lucy, Rebecca, and this time the heroine are all very beautiful and special!"

"The one above should be called Rebecca-chan~"

"So...have you forgotten Qiwei and David's mother?"

"Don't forget the lessons learned from "Edgewalker", maybe there will be a full-scale attack for you later!"

……

When "Chainsaw Man" was serialized for the first time and sparked heated discussions, the sales volume of the first volume of "Edgewalker" also came out.

"Moses Moses~Ayumi, what can you do?"

Lin Qingshan's familiar voice came over the phone, and Ayumi Ito couldn't hold back her excitement.

But she still suppressed her excitement and said, "Teacher Qingshan, congratulations! The sales volume of the first volume of "Edge Walker" has exceeded 100 million! It is very successful!"

Unlike the previous Japanese single-book sales of over 100 million, which was very rare, in the parallel world, the Republic is a country with a vast territory and a large population.

Sales of 100 million single volumes are just the entry standard for Republic comics to become popular.

This is also because the economic strength of the republic in this parallel world is extremely strong, resulting in good wages and benefits for the people in the local area.

Just like Lin Qingshan in the European and American countries in his previous life, he had accumulated a lot of wealth before.

Naturally, it can provide the best treatment and benefits to the people of this country, and they can spend as much as they can.

The same goes for republics in this world. Everyone’s welfare and treatment are pretty good.

Naturally, everyone is willing to pay for the genuine version.

There is a saying that goes, "If you have a solid warehouse, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace."

If everyone has no money, they will naturally support piracy. The first thing is to have enough to eat.

After a full meal, let’s talk about spiritual enjoyment and culture.

There is no problem with this.

And when everyone has money, it is natural to support the genuine version.

The republic of this world and its surrounding areas have a population of 15 billion. Even if a small number of people support the genuine version, it will be a huge sales volume. It is precisely because of this that the sales volume of 100 million single copies of Parallel World is only the entry standard for popular works.

The sales of 1000 million single copies or the total sales of 1 million copies are truly popular and phenomenal works.

But even so, it is very satisfying that "Edge Walker" can reach 100 million single-book sales so quickly.

This is because the comic company was conservative and only printed 100 million copies of the first edition of the single volume of "Edge Walker".

"That's fine!"

Lin Qingshan heard the excitement in Ito Ayumi's voice that could not be concealed at all, and said with a smile, "Then to celebrate, let's go out to eat at the Shandong restaurant with three-star tires tonight?"

Ayumi Ito was a little embarrassed, "I let Teacher Aoyama spend money again..."

"It's okay! It's time to celebrate, don't worry about money for me!"

Lin Qingshan said confidently, "It's a showdown, I'm a billionaire now!"

With his original parents' two properties in the Second Ring Road of the Imperial City and the balances on those bank cards, he is really a billionaire now.

"OK then."

Ayumi Ito stopped worrying and said.

……

At this time, in the Imperial Capital, there was a computer laboratory.

The middle-aged man in a white lab coat was operating the laptop in front of him while looking at the experimental computers in the laboratory.

He put his fist on his mouth and looked very serious. Although he was wearing a pair of headphones on his head, he seemed to be recording experimental data seriously and writing an experimental report.

However, he didn't notice that behind him, a man with sporadic gray hair quietly appeared.

Li Yubin looked at his disciples with great satisfaction. Sure enough, the newly admitted doctoral students were quite focused and diligent.

Then give him a little verbal reward and let him go to eat early tonight.

He slowly approached his disciple, intending to pat him on the shoulder directly and give him a few words of encouragement.

But at this time, Li Yubin saw...

What was on the middle-aged man’s laptop was not experimental data or reports, but...

A comic website, and there is also a video to watch there!
At this time, Zhang Haisheng suddenly felt a cold air coming from behind, and he shivered.

Then he turned around and saw...the instructor Li Yubin behind him.

He felt his body tremble, and a smile uglier than crying appeared on his face, "Teacher... why are you here..."

Li Yubin snorted coldly, "Have you finished the IPC experimental data and experimental report? What are you doing, tell me? Reading comics? So free? Come on, come on, I have an academic report, PPT and paper for you next week. You must write it for me!”

"……Yes."

Zhang Haisheng wanted to cry silently, but he had no way to refute. After all, this was indeed him fishing...

Forget it, he was caught fishing on the spot by his instructor...

There's really no reason for this.

"Humph."

Li Yubin snorted coldly, and just as he was about to leave the laboratory...

Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure on Zhang Haisheng's computer screen...

He immediately turned back and stared at Zhang Haisheng's screen. On Zhang Haisheng's screen, he saw a stage that seemed to be a live interview. The screen showed the side face of a tall and thin man.

"This is……"

Li Yubin's eyes widened.

　Reporting the results, the average booking as of noon was only 2200, which is indeed in line with the expected results, and I am very satisfied.

　　So according to the update rules, today is the eighth chapter to be updated.

　　Then resume normal updates tomorrow!
