Big Manga

February 14, break

When Shen Jie returned to the classroom from the music building, she saw a group of girls, mainly Han Xuan, reading a book together. Slow down, I haven't finished reading it yet!", "Why are you so slow, class is almost over, Han Xuan, turn the page faster!" Such voices.

Shen Jie was a little curious, so many people gathered together must not be reviewing. She put down her satchel on her table and looked into the crowd. Although there were many people, she still saw a red cover. Seeing this color, she quickly understood what the book was.

"You guys are reading "Shakugan no Shana", right? Is this new manga good?"

she walked over and asked.

"Ah, Shen Jie..."

"This comic is not bad, why didn't you buy it?"

The other girls were a little strange. Speaking of He Xi's works, Shen Jie should be the first to buy them.

"I haven't bought it yet, and I didn't go out today."

Shen Jie replied with a smile, in fact, she felt that it didn't matter whether she bought it or not, since she had read the original manuscript anyway.

"Then it's a tragedy for you, this comic is super popular now!" A girl said immediately: "Teacher He Xi's new work is two years later, and the entire bookstore in Ninghai is full. He Ying queued up to buy this comic. She was the only one in our class who bought it, but she is still standing in the office for being late..."

"That's right, He Ying is crazy enough, she queued up in class to buy this comic..."

"I admire her so much!"

The girls chattered, Shen Jie sympathized with that classmate, but at the same time she was relieved for "Shakugan no Shana". She is the witness of the birth of this new work. I have been worried that my evaluation will mislead Meng Huo. Things seem to be going well now. However, the greater reason for the hot sales may be He Xi's brand effect. He Xi, who hasn't released a new manga for two years, will naturally attract much attention this time.

If you want to know whether "Shakugan no Shana" is good or not, you can't judge it from the current sales volume, but you should look at the readers' impressions after watching it.

"What is this cartoon about? Is it good?"

Shen Jie asked tentatively, she was a little nervous, but she had a smile on her face.

"nice,

This is a surreal manga about a boy who just started high school. On the way back from school one day, he suddenly found that the scenery of the shopping street stopped, the pedestrians stopped, their bodies were burning, and there was a huge monster sucking these people... Then the monster wanted to do something to the protagonist, But a girl with red hair and eyes appeared to save him! "

"That's right, Shen Jie, the beginning of this is cool, right? It's always been a hero saving the beauty, and now a beautiful woman finally appears to save the hero... But the protagonist is not a hero, he's just a torch."

"Let me explain. The torch is the residue left after humans were eaten by monsters. The protagonist is dead. There is only one flame in his body, which may go out at any time. As long as it goes out, it will disappear... This disappearance is more terrible than death, No one will remember that he existed, and the traces of his past life will disappear... To be honest, Teacher He Xi's setting is very cruel."

"That is to say, I feel that the hero is so pitiful after watching it. I feel that Mr. He Xi's paintings are more delicate than before. The expression of the hero after knowing the truth is too real. The eyes that are a little bit confused and sad are great. Ah, very good..."

"I really like this protagonist, he is very kind... After that handsome monster's monster sneak attack, the protagonist obviously doesn't have much flames, but he is still willing to use his life to heal everyone. The portrayal of this part is really great, so It’s quite rare to have a protagonist who is affectionate and righteous.”

The girls were still answering Shen Jie's questions at the beginning, but after a few people were talking, the topic shifted to the comments on the comics. Those who hadn't read the comics couldn't understand what they were talking about. Of course, Shen Jie understood. She understood, and she was relieved. Seeing the heated discussion of these girls in the same class, they were obviously satisfied with "Shakugan no Shana".

"Great, like me..."

Shen Jie felt relieved. In fact, after the release of "Shakugan no Shana" today, the long-awaited readers of He Xi were not disappointed. Not only these readers, but also some special people gave "Shakugan no Shana" good reviews.

Xiangjiang, the financial and political center of southern China, is a natural harbor city known as the Second Yanjing.

Among the several regions in Huaxia, Xiangjiang, Tokyo, Vladivostok, and Xixia are the capital cities of the region, and they are in charge of a region. However, the status of Xiangjiang is even better. Although Tokyo and Vladivostok are the capital cities of the Far East and the Far East, these two regions are adjacent to Yanjing, and their autonomy is greatly curbed.

Although Xixia is far away, Western China is still in the period of large-scale development, and its economic maturity is the worst among several regions. Only Xiangjiang, the central city in southern Asia and countless archipelagos, is qualified to be called the Second Yanjing.

The main island of Xiangjiang City is a prosperous area where an inch of land is like gold. Only the top 300 companies in China and the world can settle in this island. In the middle of countless high-rise buildings, the headquarters building of the Jiang Group stands like a golden rooster. It is the tallest and most core building in Xiangjiang.

In this towering building, Jiang Tianshi was sitting in his office, holding "Shakugan no Shana" in his hands, watching it ecstatically.

"Hunter Fariagni."

The second young master of the Jiang family is watching the plot of the villain Fariagni in the comics. This is a pure white dress, gloves and jacket, which seems to be scratched when touched, and has a slender figure, as if it should not exist. The most beautiful man in the world. From the first sight of his appearance, Jiang Tianshi fell in love with this character. Handsome, elegant, romantic - much handsomer than the main character.

Jiang Tianshi likes this kind of charming character, but what he likes is not the appearance, but the excellent painting skills behind the appearance.

"It's very beautiful, but it doesn't seem to be difficult to draw..." Jiang Tianshi lightly stroked the space with his hand a few times, he was looking for a feeling, and quickly came to a conclusion: "Well, it's really not difficult, I can draw it too "Although it can be drawn, it is indeed a character that needs to be carefully crafted. The more carefully crafted this kind of character, the more Jiang Tianshi likes it.

"Unfortunately, he is also destined to die like those ugly monsters."

He felt a little regretful. In juvenile manga, the more refined the character, the easier it is to become a villain, because delicateness means that it is difficult to draw. If a delicate character can step off the stage earlier, it is of course the easiest thing for the cartoonist. Of course, there are exceptions. The hero and heroine in shoujo manga are generally very delicate.

Unfortunately, Jiang Tianshi is a man, he has never been interested in shoujo manga, and so far, there has not been a shoujo manga artist whose drawing skills can enter his eyes.

In recent years, his eyes have only been looking at one person, He Xi—or, in other words, looking at his paintings. This new "Shakugan no Shana" made Jiang Tianshi want to stop, the setting is novel, the story is interesting, and the delicate painting skills——

"This is He Xi's work!"

Others can't see it, but Jiang Tianshi knows that this is a work drawn by He Xi himself and made by him alone.

He hasn't seen such a work for too long. He Xi is used to using assistants, and readers don't care. It can even be said that people all over the world will not notice any difference. Only Jiang Tianshi, who stands at the pinnacle of manga art, has obsessive-compulsive disorder. He can see through very small differences in manga, and he feels dissatisfied and regretful about it.

Cartoonist's assistants can do a lot of things, but they don't make real cartoonists.

Especially for a cartoonist of He Xi's level, his painting style has penetrated into every corner of the comics, including its background, lines, and shadows, which will be harmonious and unified. What the assistants make is instead a rigid template. In Jiang Tianshi's eyes, such a template disrupts the hierarchy of works.

Why is it not suitable to have an assistant.

What Jiang Tianshi wanted to see was a work like "Shakugan's Shana", which was drawn purely by He Xi himself.

Because only in this kind of works, he will feel that He Xi is very powerful. (To be continued..)
