Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?.

Chapter 172 Sincerely, Brokenhearted!
As a professional 2D big shot, how could Oda Shingo not inherit the little happiness of the 2D world?

The little happiness in the second dimension is like the green onion in the burrito, without it the fun would be lost.

We, the people of the second dimension, like to find loopholes in serious comics, find serials in JM paradise, and find pure love in the world of minotaurs...

When you go to the Okinawa beaches and the Seto Inland Sea, the landlady has no say!
Just like Jerusalem has PC, you have no choice but to wear what you want.

Hehehe, it wasn't my idea to go on vacation, and it just happened to be a good thing for me. Oda Shingo was very proud.

He just couldn't believe it. Why would the landlady wear a kimono there?!
"Count me in? That's good." Mrs. Yukino ignored the two women's denials and just smiled at Oda Shingo.

Namikaze Youhe had the urge to pull out a kunai and throw it over to break the two people's line of sight.

Fujido Kaoru was more of a practical person. She walked past the two people's gazes and changed direction to continue talking about the data.

Having said that, the recent data of "Parasyte" is indeed quite high.

After taking a closer look, Oda Shingo felt that the bet with Hyakki Hayato would hopefully end in this issue.

Fujido Kaoru saw Oda Shingo rubbing his chin, and unexpectedly said as if he had telepathy: "The popularity statistics will be released in a few days. Should we ask the old man Baigui to polish our shoes in advance?"

"It's entirely possible!" Oda Nobuo laughed.

Fujido Kaoru excitedly said: "Then I will take a video on the spot!"

Namikaze Yuzuru Takuma found an angle outside the window of the Qun Ying She building to take a sneak shot.

Of course, there is no problem for her to walk into the Heroes Society with confidence now.

Oda Shingo is already a celebrity in Qun-eisha. As an assistant painter of a masterpiece, he is definitely qualified to enter the Qun-eisha building. Maybe the main publication department will be hostile to him, but the web department will definitely treat him as a lady.

"Ah, I can't remember where I put my leather shoes and coins..." Oda Shingo scratched his head, trying hard to recall where he put them.

Speaking of the shoe-shining bet, it feels like it’s been a long time.

Yes, it has been more than a month.

"In the third drawer of your bedside table." said Namikaze Youhe.

“……”Oda Shingo didn’t dare to say anything for a moment and glanced at Mrs. Yukino.

Mrs. Yukino was looking at him with a playful look in her eyes.

Oda Shingo coughed awkwardly and said, "Next time when you clean the room, you don't need to clean the inside of the drawer."

"Then the underwear you haven't worn for a long time will easily get bugs." Namikaze Youhe said seriously.

"Oh? Tell me in detail." Mrs. Yukino raised her eyebrows, and seemed to want to hear some interesting stories.

Oda Shingo's face turned red. "Ahem, after my last hospitalization, my personal clothing habits have changed a bit. Namikaze Youhe, please don't talk nonsense, you don't understand it completely."

"Will it be more sensitive?" Fujido Kaoru laughed and leaned close to Oda Shingo's ear. "I checked it online, and it said that it will be like this for a period of time."

"You little brat!" Oda Nobuo pushed her away.

On the Internet, the popularity of "Parasyte" is increasing day by day.

With the help of the audience of "Jump" magazine, more and more people began to pay attention to Oda Shingo's works.

The war of words a month ago was purely a wave of public opinion caused by personal grudges.

But what is beginning now is spontaneous online marketing behavior where capital is king and entertainment is the main focus.

First, Youtube started talking about comics, and many internet celebrities began to express their love for some female characters. Then, professional comic magazines and comic review websites began to rate and comment on "One Punch Man" and "Parasyte".

Both haters and fans emerged in large numbers in a short period of time. Everyone discovered that the writer Oda Shingo was quite popular.

Even some small websites began to dig up gossip about Oda Shingo.

Fabricated reports such as "Classmates recall Oda Shingo's first love", "After failing to pursue female sensei, Oda Shingo aspires to become a cartoonist", and "Oda Shingo angrily drops out of school after being mocked for only relying on his handsome face to make a living" began to appear on various platforms.

Even Tokyo TV, which is famous for broadcasting cartoons, mentioned the name Oda Shingo during prime time.

When the two announcers mentioned the bookstore sales performance, especially the single volumes and comic magazines, they emphasized the market effect of Shingo Oda.

One of the announcers said frankly that he was a fan of Oda Sensei.

Another person even boldly speculated that the work of Shingo Oda might be adapted soon. Maybe next year or the year after, Tokyo TV will broadcast the animated version of "One Punch Man" or "Parasyte".

With reports from media such as Tokyo TV, the influence of Oda Shingo's works has expanded exponentially.

Yahoo Comics soon noticed something was wrong because "Parasyte" appeared on the comics rankings again!
Number one on the hot-blooded comics list!

Number one on the Alien Comics list!

Ranked third on the urban comics list!
Romance comics list, fifth!

This romance comic is terrible.

It was already at the top of the rankings last time, but this time it was soaring all the way to fifth place!
"What's going on? Such a bloody comic is on the list of romance comics?" An editor of Yahoo website couldn't believe it.

The editor quickly asked some comic fans and got the answer.

"Watch the latest episode of Parasyte! The farewell part!"

"That is the taste of my lost youth, astringent, bitter, and lost."

"That's a broken heart."

The editor curiously flipped through the "Parasyte" comics and saw the scene where Shinichi Izumi solved the mother-killing parasite and returned from the beach.

Back at the B&B, Izumi Shinichi said goodbye to Makiko.

Makiko hesitated and asked softly, "Come again next time, okay?"

"No, I won't come here again." Izumi Shinichi didn't want to go to the sad place again.

"Don't be like this, come back..."

Shinichi didn't look at Makiko, he just hummed.

Makiko knew the answer.

She put her hands behind her back, looked at Shinichi's departing back, and said softly: "Goodbye..."

Just three pages.

There are no close-ups, no secret words, and no narration to help explain.

The plot just goes by blandly and the characters talk slowly, that's all, it's extremely simple.

"This plot..." The editor didn't know what to say.

Deep in my heart, something was salvaged.

That was when I was in junior high school, I was still very young...

In a remote small supermarket, I happened to meet the goddess of my dreams.

She is the class beauty.

A high-quality beauty who would make you feel genuinely happy if you could take a few peeks at her on a daily basis.

The young man was secretly delighted but also extremely nervous to have met her here by chance.

I wanted to pretend to meet by chance and start a conversation, but I was shocked to find that...

The goddess is buying condoms.

This is what heartbreak is.

"This is the recently popular "Parasyte"..."

The mere three pages of comics after the killing bring back memories from thirty years ago.

"Sincerely, Lovelorn!"

The editor dug out his own account and gave "Parasyte" a vote on the romance list.
