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

Chapter 574: I want to be a mortal...

It has been a month since the serialization of "Dragon Ball", and its market popularity is gradually stabilizing.

The popularity and popularity of a comic can be easily seen in about a month.

The old three major families represented by Qun Ying Sha are also keeping an eye on the data of "Dragon Ball".

Shingo Oda's massive updates of five to seven chapters per issue have brought this comic better traffic and popularity than the original work on Earth.

But "Dragon Ball" never seems to be as popular as "Naruto", whether it's popularity votes or the discussion heat in online forums, the gap is huge.

Many people in the industry breathed a sigh of relief.

During the lunch break, several editors from Qun Ying Press who were on good terms with each other chatted for a while.

"'Dragon Ball' is popular enough, but obviously not as popular as 'Naruto'." An editor blew out a puff of smoke.

Another editor pressed his phone and checked the popularity list: "Haha, Oda Shingo's ability to serialize two popular comics at the same time has declined."

"The previous comics were serialized at the same time and were all very popular. But there are very few that are as popular as Naruto. I'm also worried that Dragon Ball will be on the same level as Naruto, which would be..."

"That would be terrifying, okay? Naruto is a hit, and it has the potential to become a national comic."

"Yeah. It's normal for a high-level cartoonist to produce a hit, but I don't believe that he can serialize two hits at the same time!"

"It's been a month, right? If Dragon Ball doesn't pick up again, it will be finalized and can only be rated as a top-notch work."

"I admit that Oda Shingo is very powerful, but he is definitely not at the level of a ruler."

They feel much more at ease.

Previously, the big devil had boasted that he would help Springfield Books become the king, but it seems that is not going to work?

The editor-in-chief of Qunyingsha's main publication department made the final decision: "Oda Shingo is very capable, but he is only a mortal, and he wants to be on par with gods!"

The editors around laughed softly.

Yes, only a comics company can make an author become a god.

Where can one author lift a comic book company to the sky? !

Do you really think that you, a mortal, can stand shoulder to shoulder with gods? Hahahaha!
After Oda Shingo's serialization entered a stable period, the comics market seemed calm.

Springfield Books’ new issue of “Champion” is published.

After the initial special treatment, the editor arranged for "Dragon Ball" to be the second position, which is the serialization page after "Naruto".

Although Shingo Oda gave a very high self-evaluation to "Dragon Ball", Spring Bookstore only gave it four page boosts.

After all, the popularity of "Naruto" is so high that it has been occupying the top spot in popularity for several consecutive issues. It even completely surpasses other comics of the same period, and the number of popularity votes has reached a terrifying level of twice.

This is the normal operation of Mr. Oda Shingo. No one finds it strange, after all, it is the work of the great devil.

Dragon Ball's popularity ranking is connected to the latter, but there is still a significant gap, with only half of the votes of Naruto. This means that it cannot maintain the support of votes for a long time, after all, readers are prone to objections.

So starting from this issue, "Naruto" occupied the first page, and even the cover of the magazine was mainly a close-up of Naruto.

"Naruto is so good!" After reading page by page with satisfaction, the fans turned to the second ranked "Dragon Ball".

The story has entered the plot of Piccolo the Great Demon King, and the grown-up Goku fights him.

The story has a concise and brisk pace. Apart from the unwelcome Yamcha being abused in various ways, there are not many funny plots. However, there is a plot interspersed in it.
"Goku is married?!"

"Is this considered a martial arts competition to win a bride?!"

"I know about the Chinese martial arts competition for marriage!"

"It seems that Qiqi is from China?"

"There is no China or Japan in the world setting of this comic."

"But this Qiqi is so cute."

Comic fans are a little envious of the plot where Goku gets married.

They don’t know yet that such a beautiful and lovely girl before marriage will become the strongest person in the universe after marriage... Of course, this is the personal opinion of the author on Earth.

Goku finally defeated the great devil Piccolo and won the championship of the World Martial Arts Tournament.

"Yi Manli!" The fans were relieved.

Wukong has participated in many conferences, and this time he finally got what he wanted. At least he doesn't have to eat up all of Master Roshi's prize money.

But this episode's story obviously doesn't seem to end so soon, and the plot soon changes.

Sun Wukong took his son Gohan to visit Master Roshi.

But aliens appear!

Son Goku's brother, the Saiyan, appears!

"A piece of trash whose combat power is only five." Raditz made a classic judgment.

Moreover, his strength directly crushed Sun Wukong.

Gohan was snatched away.

This serial ends here.

"Hey? This issue of Dragon Ball is really good!"

"I agree, it's very passionate! Even better than Naruto!"

“I really want to see what’s down there!”

"You should say the back, not the bottom, because it will easily lead people to think the wrong thing."

Fans found that for the first time, they were looking forward to the serialization of Dragon Ball.

Although "Dragon Ball" was not originally on the first serialized page, many people would subconsciously turn to the back and finish reading "Naruto".

But this time, they found themselves having an idea that when they get the next issue of "Champion", maybe it would be nice to have "Dragon Ball" ranked first, and it would be nice to see the story of how Goku fights his alien brother first.

When seeing the popularity vote at the end of the issue, many fans hesitated whether to vote for "Naruto" or "Dragon Ball".

Maybe it would be a good idea to vote for Dragon Ball?

"We are all one family after all, and all of us are Oda-sensei's work."

"But Naruto will still be the most popular, right?"

Many comic fans are speculating.

The next afternoon, the editor of the main issue department of Springfield Books stared at the monitor in amazement. The preliminary popularity vote results came out, and the summary of this issue was very surprising.

Although "Naruto" still ranks first, the number of votes is almost the same as "Dragon Ball", with a difference of less than a thousand votes.

The editor even subconsciously moved his pen sideways on the monitor because he suspected that he had read the wrong line.

"That's weird. This issue of Dragon Ball is clearly on page two."

The editor muttered to himself and put away his pen.

"Tanaka-kun, is there anything going on?" The editor-in-chief happened to pass by and asked after hearing it.

"Ah, editor-in-chief, look here. I suspect there is an error in the vote count and I am retrieving the electronic voting records from the background." While explaining, the editor opened another parallel window interface to check the popularity vote results of the electronic subscription section of "Champion".

After all, the counting of physical votes is done manually, usually by interns or art students, so it is entirely possible that mistakes may occur.

For the vast majority of comic magazines, popularity votes for physical publications are sent via postcards, while electronic ones are voted via web links.

"..." The editor-in-chief looked at the physical vote count and saw something wrong, "Is Dragon Ball so popular?"

He and his editor waited for the new electronic vote count page.

Soon, the background data came out.

"Very close!" the editor was surprised.

"Could it be that... look at the popularity of the forum!" the editor-in-chief quickly reminded.

Sure enough, the forum's popularity index showed that the popularity of "Dragon Ball" was rising rapidly.

"Don't worry, wait until next week. I've read the content of the new issue, and it's pretty good. Maybe..." The editor-in-chief had already received the manuscript in advance and had a rough idea in his mind.

Could it be that "Dragon Ball" is going to be a hit?
