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

Chapter 252: The Cultural Department, a place where funny things happen

The Agency for Cultural Affairs of Japan is under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan.

Shunji Yonekura, the director of the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs, is a musician by profession. He has composed music for many popular TV series, such as the theme song of the Showa-era super popular TV series "Blood Ties", which was written by him. He is definitely a figure who has a place in the music world.

After entering politics, he unexpectedly rose rapidly and soon became the head of the Ministry of Culture.

But ten years later, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan moved most of the Agency for Cultural Affairs from Tokyo to Kyoto on the grounds of correcting Tokyo's monopolistic trend and revitalizing the local economy.

However, one of the key departments, the Copyright Department, along with three other departments, was left in Tokyo.

Kyoto belongs to the Gyeonggi region of Japan, while Tokyo belongs to the Kanto region, with a straight-line distance of nearly 500 kilometers.

Although it is convenient to travel by car and only takes an hour and a half to get there, it is really funny.

To approve a document, one needs to run from the east to the central part; to hold a meeting in the Department of Culture, it takes at least three o'clock in the afternoon to start; to send out some documents for communication, it takes the next day to get feedback.

Therefore, this move to split up the Department of Culture was jokingly called a "wise" move by some local commentators, saying that there are good reasons for procrastination!
Many critics were heartbroken.

Look at this, these shameless people now have a legitimate reason to slack off at work!

Of course, many people believe that Shunji Yonekura just wanted to escape the serious bureaucratic atmosphere in Tokyo, so he created a new world with his loyal fans and subordinates.

Some people also say that the Ministry of Culture has always been a scorched earth that various forces are fighting for, and only Shunji Yonekura can suppress the internal disputes, but he has also become the unique scapegoat.

There are also rumors that an onmyoji from Abe's lineage has calculated that the Ministry of Culture must be separated to Kyoto, otherwise it will lead to the resurrection of the Yamata no Orochi. However, the Ashiya lineage firmly denied it, claiming that the separation would lead to a worse situation...

The Onmyoji of the Abe and Ashiya factions have always been incompatible, and the general public naturally doesn't know how they quarrel and fight.

However, the official announcement that the relocation of the Ministry of Culture would begin in 2016 was not actually implemented until 2023, and four classes were left in Tokyo.

Among them, the copyright course, which is the most relevant to copyright, is so dazzling that it is obvious that some forces are reluctant to let go of this piece of fat meat.

These are all interesting stories about the Agency for Cultural Affairs. Simply put, apart from the authority over copyright, the Agency for Cultural Affairs' influence in Japanese society has always been semi-funny.

"Why would the Ministry of Culture, a place with a high incidence of comedy, invite me..." Oda Shingo was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Many of the systems introduced by the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs are laughable. For example, in the supervision of film and television works, it has forced the market in a very classic way, resulting in the self-deceiving magical creation of Mosaic.

It’s blurred, which means no actual action happened...pretty perfect!

In addition, for example, the Ministry of Culture once issued regulations clearly stating that taking screenshots on the Internet is illegal.

The results were listed by many TV stations, and there were also a large number of screenshots on the Ministry of Culture’s own website and even in its annual performance report...

After years of turmoil, the status of the Agency for Cultural Affairs among the Japanese people has become close to being a place of high production of comedy...

Therefore, animation awards in the comics industry are mainly organized by comics associations, while those of the Ministry of Culture receive less attention.

The Ministry of Culture sent a special invitation letter to Springfield Books, specifically inviting Shingo Oda to attend, which has the flavor of official support.

This was an expression of goodwill towards Oda Shingo.

Not to individuals, but to the comics club, obviously knowing the conflict between him and Qun Ying Club.

Saburo Mikami also added: "Director Shunji Yonekura also deliberately sent a message that he really appreciated the two soundtracks you composed for Parasyte."

Perhaps it was the music that improved the Agency's favor for him? After a long time of thinking, Oda Shingo was still hesitant about whether to accept the invitation.

He inherently hates the Japanese government.

However, it would not be a bad thing if we could have a strong backer to deal with the annoying Qunyingsha and the Comics Association.

Although the Ministry of Culture does not have high support among the public, it is an official authority department after all, and a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

More importantly, he had fallen out with the Qun Ying Society and the Comics Association.

Unless I am willing to surrender... Is this possible? Of course not!

If I refuse this invitation, it means I don't want to take sides.

Oda Shingo thought of the movie "The Warlords" that he watched on Earth. When one is not strong enough to control the world, one still needs solid strength to support him.

Otherwise it will be difficult to survive.

"How do you feel about the Cultural Affairs Bureau, Mrs. Yukino? I received an invitation..." Oda Shingo explained the situation to her. Mrs. Yukino thought about it and smiled: "It's a very interesting place."

Does she know anyone here? Oda Shingo wanted to ask, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

"Okay! Let's go there next month, right? No problem!" Oda Shingo finally made the decision.

Saburo Mikami said he understood: "Well, I will immediately send an official reply letter on behalf of Springfield Books."

When an organization of higher status sends an invitation, it is polite to respond in writing whether you will attend and express gratitude.

Oda Shingo thought for a moment and added, "Bring a postcard of my late summer vacation."

"Okay, I'll ask Assistant Okita to come get it."

Compared to the almost disappearing New Year postcard custom in China, Japan still has the custom of sending postcards during the late summer season.

He quickly arranged for Fujido Kacheng to buy blank postcards.

Oda Nobuo wrote a postcard personally and attached it to the reply letter of thanks, which brought the two closer together.

Since you plan to enjoy the shade under the big tree, you should get along well with the tree!
After Fujido Kajuku came back, he took advantage of the time he was writing postcards to start making some personal suggestions for "Spy Play House".

But whether it contains personal opinions depends on the specific situation.

"Oda-kun, I think it would look better if Yoel's foot was turned sideways when he raised his leg to catch the plate." Fujido Kaoru took off her slippers and raised her leg high: "Hey, I'm a little unsteady, come and hold me up."

Oda Shingo hesitated for a moment, but Namikaze Yukaku rushed over, holding Fujido Kaoru with one hand and twisting his own legs with the other hand.

With a swish, she lifted her long legs and pulled her heels directly to the top of her head.

"Is this the movement of lifting your legs to catch the plate?"

Fortunately, she was wearing pants with good elasticity, otherwise the trouser line might have been torn.

Amazing! Oda Shingo's eyes widened.

Namikaze Youhe is so gifted in muscles and bones, can he do any poses?

Compared to the other party's specialty, Fujido Kaoru thought it would be better to put down her legs quickly, and pouted: "It's more realistic to catch the plate sideways. After all, I will definitely wear high heels to attend the banquet, how can I hold it steady."

This guy is here to cause trouble! Fujido Kaoru muttered in his heart.

Oda Shingo nodded, then looked at Namikaze Youhe: "Put it down quickly, be careful not to strain it."

"You, help me put it down..." Namikaze Youhe's face turned slightly red.

"I believe you can do it, but it's too violent." Oda Shingo went over and held her ankle.

"My hips hurt." Namikaze Youhe said softly.

"Here? Is it here?" Fujido Kaoru stretched out his hand and pinched her waist hard a few times.

Everyone could see that she was making trouble on purpose.

Namikaze Yuzuru quickly retracted his legs and exchanged several blows with Fujido Kaoru.

The air seemed to vibrate with their movements.

Oda Shingo was dazzled and said angrily, "If you want to fight, go out and fight. Don't mess up the studio."

Knowing that he was unhappy, the two girls immediately stopped and behaved well again.

With that expression and demeanor, if you don’t know her, you would really think she is a good girl.

"Go to work, don't lie down!" Oda Shingo's black-hearted capitalist mode is online.

The peaceful atmosphere has returned to the Oda Studio...

No wonder!
Fujido Kacheng and Namikaze Yuzuru both stared into thought for a while before returning to their work.

Who would want to fall in love when they are already drawing comics? Oda Shingo decided to put his relationship on hold and put comics work first.
