  The phenomenon like them is just a few representatives of many people. In fact, many people choose not to read or complain after seeing comics. But when they really came into contact with "Spirited Away", most of them were deeply attracted.

  The cartoons in this era are only for children, and elementary school students will read them. It's like fairy tales from later generations, such as "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". Only the kind of children or elementary school students will see it. Like those in their teens, twenties, let alone middle-aged people, they can't read it at all.

  Because it's too childish! Can't see it at all.

  The same is true of the cartoons of the 1950s. Almost no child over ten years old will choose to read such childish and rough cartoons. Unlike the comics of later generations, such as "Slam Dunk", "One Piece" and other comics, they have surpassed the ranks of naive and rough comics. The comics of later generations are already suitable for most people to watch.

  Why is this happening, that is because the comics of later generations have diversified and developed, and they have also reached the peak and glorious moment of comics.

   Speaking of comics in the island country, 1917-1945 was in its infancy, and it can be said that it has just started.

   1946-1973 belonged to the exploration period, because the 1950s was also in the exploration period. Therefore, the current comics are relatively naive and rough, and have not formed a comic civilization.

  1974-1989 belonged to the mature period of comics.

  In the early 1970s, a large number of animation masters of sci-fi mechanical animation (ie ScienceFiction animation, referred to as SF animation) emerged in the island country. Representative characters include Matsumoto Reiji, Tomino Yoshiyuki, Kawamori Masaharu, Mikimoto Haruhiko, etc. The most famous of them, Yoshiyuki Tomino, is one of the founders of the "GUNDAM" series, and he directed SF animation films such as "Mobile Suit Gundam" (1979). In 1982, Masaharu Kawamori began to emerge when he was responsible for the mechanical setting of "Macross", and then he served as the director to supervise the series theatrical animation films of "Macross".

Lupin the Third, also successfully transformed into a juvenile in the 1970s, and made great achievements. The TV2 series has truly enabled the island audience to combine animation and comics, creating an era of animation, and has won unanimous praise from students to adults. In the 1990s, it also successfully entered and exited overseas. According to statistics, it has a staggering 1.35 billion fans, and it has a history of 43 years and is still on air.

   In other words, comics in the island country were children's books before the 1970s, and in the 1970s, comics began to be developed from children's books to teenagers.

  In the 1980s and 1990s, teenagers and adults in the entire island country liked to read manga and anime.

  Especially in the 21st century, comics are popular all over the world, not only children, teenagers, adults, and even middle-aged people like to read them.

   However, in the current 1950s, comics are still aimed at children, and only children can read them. Therefore, when the Tokyo Metropolitan Evening News serialized comics, many people complained and complained.

   But "Spirited Away" is a later light comic, a comic for different age groups. In this era, it has simply set off a big innovation in the comics industry!

   If I want to say something great, it is that Miyamoto Tamiko has made the comic civilization advance more than ten years ahead of schedule! Of course, the credit goes to Shuichi Minano.

   The comic series that suddenly appeared in this issue of the Tokyo Metropolitan Evening News is really shocking to many people. Many readers who like to read long novel series or prose poems are deeply disgusted by it!

   These people threw away the newspapers as soon as they saw the comics. Of course, some of them watched "Spirited Away" with critical and disdainful eyes, and were indeed conquered by this comic later.

  Minano Shuichi and others took the two girls to play in Tokyo the next day. As for the popularity or dislike of comics, it is impossible to know today. We won't know until the second issue is released. That is tomorrow!

   After all, it was just changed to manga today. Those people bought it if they didn’t buy it. If they didn’t like it, they could not buy it the next day, so the popularity was only known the next day.

  …

  Hiramiya is a manga artist, and he said that he was a bad man when he said that he was so tall. The cost of manga manuscripts is very low. The economy is still in the recovery period these days, and many parents are too lazy to buy comics for their children. It is better to buy a toy than to buy a comic. The toy can be played for a year or a half, but if you buy a comic, you will continue to buy it.

  Today, he unexpectedly discovered that the Tokyo Metropolitan Evening News had a comic book serialized by his peers. He looked at the author's name: Miyamoto Yuko. He had never heard of this man.

  It's not that he is blowing it. He knows most of the cartoonists in Tokyo. Although everyone is miserable, they belong to the relatively powerful and talented people in the current comics industry.

   So Hiragiya took a look at the newcomer, and looked at the "Spirited Away" cartoon with the eyes of the teacher and the elderly. He felt that this kind of cartoon must be drawn by a newcomer.

   However, after watching it for more than ten minutes, his original scrutiny turned into surprise, and finally into shock. Even his forehead was sweating.

   At the very end, his face was excited, and there was shame!

After reading the comics of "Spirited Away" in one breath, he looked at the comics he drew: "Compared to others, the comics I drew are too naive! I want to learn from her, "Spirited Away" "Xun" is definitely an epic innovation in the comics industry, the new style of painting, and the wonderful storytelling are really great. I don't know how this Miyamoto Yuko was created, it's great!"

  Hiramiya put all the comics he drew these days into the trash and started to re-concept, while continuing to learn the essence of "Spirited Away".

  …

   Tokyo Metropolitan Evening Newspaper.

   Kudo asked one of his subordinates before leaving get off work: "Have readers sent a letter of complaint after today's issue is out? Or do you have any dissatisfaction or complaints about changing the entertainment section into a comic section?"

   "Reporting to the president, we have indeed received several complaint letters. They asked to switch back to the serialized novels. They said that after chasing and chasing, there will be no more, and they are very puzzled!"

   "Well, I see. You will write back to them tomorrow and tell them that we will restore the previous forum in 15 days, and ask them to be patient." Kudo waved his hand.

   Expressed concern when he walked out of the office and went home. Tomorrow will be the second issue of the comic series. I don’t know how many readers and subscriptions from various companies will be lost due to comics tomorrow!

   "Hey, for the 1.8 million yen, I had to take a risk."

   The second day will soon arrive, which is the second issue of the Tokyo Metropolitan Evening News manga series. On this day the sun rises as usual and the earth revolves. In Tokyo, however, a small change has taken place.

   Oribe Kotaro woke up earlier than ever on this day. He was a young man who had just come out to work. Because my dad is working in zf. So as soon as he came out, his father found him a leisurely job. In the past, he always got up late and went to work without even having breakfast.

   But today he got up an hour earlier than usual!

  No reason, he just got up and ran to buy a newspaper to read!

   After hurriedly walking to a newspaper stop on the street, Kotaro Oribe politely said to the owner of the stop: "Buy a copy of the Tokyo Metropolitan Evening News, thank you."

   After buying the newspaper, Oribe Kotaro restrained himself from reading it, but went to a breakfast shop and bought breakfast before reading it.

"I'm really looking forward to it. I almost didn't fall asleep after watching "Spirited Away" last night. I always thought about the strange things and dangers that Chihiro will encounter next." Oribe Kotaro said to himself Yu then turned to the manga page and began to read it.

   After ten minutes, he was so fascinated that he almost forgot to eat breakfast.

   In addition to this phenomenon, many teenagers and teenagers took out pocket money and started to buy Tokyo Metropolitan Evening News at the newspaper stop when they were in school. The reason why they were attracted to the city because they accidentally saw "Spirited Away" yesterday.

  At noon, some people stopped and said, "Boss, here's a Tokyo Metropolitan Evening News!"

   "Sorry, today's Tokyo Metropolitan Evening News is sold out."

   "Nani? Why is it so fast today?" The customer was stunned for a moment.

   "It's probably a revision. There are comics serialized on it, and many people are rushing to buy it!"

   "No, what kind of comics are so good-looking. Isn't the comics for children now?"

   "Hey~ I have another one here. In fact, I also like to read this manga "Spirited Away". This newspaper is for you."

   "Thank you, I want to see what comics are so attractive, even the boss likes to read them."

  …

   Night falls, Tokyo Metropolitan Evening Newspaper.

   The backbone of the marketing department are working overtime because they are counting the sales of newspapers on this day, which is the second issue of the comics after the serialization.

   At this time, Kudo has not chosen to get off work. If he usually went home at this time, but he can't go back today, he wants to see how much the sales volume has dropped today!

   If the share fell too much, he would bleed from the heartache if it was too much worse than the other newspapers. This newspaper was built by his grandfather. It was only after his father that he developed into one of several giants in Tokyo.

   "Is it calculated?"

   "Not yet, it's still half an hour... The data in some places has not been sent..."

   "Baga, why is it so long!"

   At this moment, an employee exclaimed: "Mr. President, Osaka City has requested to increase the number of newspapers!"

   "Mr. President, Tokyo XX district also asks to increase the number of newspaper subscriptions!"

   "Nani?" Kudo was stunned after hearing this, what the **** is going on? Shouldn't the share of the comics be lost? Why was the share requested by those people to increase instead?
