The popularity rankings and the large rewards that appeared first made "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" noticed by many people. This level of exposure was enough to make many readers who were not interested in the comic just by the title click in.
Many people are like this.
Regardless of whether you are interested in the subject matter or the name of the work, when you see works appearing on a list with extremely high gold content, you will more or less have some expectations and click in to see the quality.
It's normal herd mentality.
If this work happens to suit one's taste, the people who click in will naturally become one of the audience of the work. As a result, more and more readers like this comic called "Food Wars! Soma", so that this comic eventually rises to...
Third place!
The tribe at this time.
Han Jimei, the COO of both the literature and comics departments, had just finished a high-level company meeting and was hurriedly heading to the office of the newly formed comics department. As he walked, he asked the second person in charge of the website, who was also the deputy webmaster:
“Is the data out?”
"The ranking list has been updated."
The deputy stationmaster had a strange expression on his face.
Han Jimei glanced at him, pushed the door open and entered the office, turning on his computer and asking, "After all, we have recruited so many big-name cartoonists, and with the previous hard work in promotion, there shouldn't be any problem with traffic, right?"
“The flow rate is fine.”
The deputy webmaster said quickly: "Today's daily activity of Tribe Comics ranks among the top among all Qin Qi's online comics websites. Both the first-day member registration and user reviews are quite good. I will send you the report later, but the works on this ranking list..."
"What happened to the rankings?"
"You better see for yourself."
The deputy stationmaster's expression became increasingly strange.
Han Jimei raised his eyebrows, opened the website interface, and looked at the popularity rankings at the time.
When the fifth-place "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" came into Han Jimei's sight, she suddenly opened her mouth slightly, her face full of astonishment -
A comic strip about a shadow
Third place in the rankings
The deputy webmaster didn't seem surprised by Han Jimei's reaction, because he had a similar reaction to Han Jimei when he saw the list before: "As you can see now, Shadow Teacher's original comics have received good response."
Han Jimei was speechless.
This is the third on the popularity list!
How can it be just “not bad”? It’s clearly amazing!
You should know that those who can make it to this list are basically very powerful cartoonists in the industry!
Backed by the influence of the tribe.
Nearly half of the best cartoonists in Qinqi now publish new works on Tribe Comics.
The works that can stand out on this website are enough to be proud of even in the entire industry!
In fact.
Even if Yingzi was really willing to cooperate with the screenwriter provided by the tribe, Han Jimei's expectation for him was only to get into the top ten of the list, not to mention that Yingzi rejected the tribe's proposal and chose his own original work, and the subject matter he decided on was also an unpopular one like food!
How can this be called a pure painter
Judging from the performance of "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma", Yingzi is clearly a cartoonist with very strong originality ability, and can even be called a top-level cartoonist on the website!
What a head cartoonist means to a website is self-evident!
Think of this.
Han Jimei's expression gradually changed from astonishment to excitement!
She turned her head and stared at the deputy webmaster: "The third place... can be considered a pillar-level work, right?"
This is what the comics community says.
On any comic website, works ranked in the top three are basically considered the mainstays of the website.
"yes."
The deputy webmaster nodded heavily: "If the popularity of Food Wars! can remain in the top three for a long time, it will be the mainstay of the website. The website will give it more resources and focus on training it!"
Speaking of this.
The deputy webmaster's voice was somewhat emotional: "There is one more thing that Chief Han may not be aware of. Looking through the comic circles, any large comic website has pillar works that are all passionate themes without exception. This is the first time I have seen an unpopular theme like food make it into the top three. This is the most powerful part of this comic..."
"good!"
Han Jimei couldn't hide the smile in his voice: "This time, we are not the only ones who made a mistake."
Yes.
It's not just Han Jimei.
The entire comics community has made a mistake!
Since Tribe Comics was officially established, the comics community has been paying close attention to this new website.
So people in the comics circle naturally took notice of the performance of "Food Wars!!", and many people were so shocked that their glasses almost fell to the ground!
"Shadow is third?"
"Am I seeing this correctly?"
“Is he more than just a pure painter?”
"I watched Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma. Although it's still short, the story is very well written..."
"It seems that everyone has misunderstood one thing. It's not that Shadow is not good at originality, but that he did not choose an original work for his first work. Perhaps he wanted to hone his painting skills, or perhaps for some other reason?"
"This is a pillar-level work!"
"Tribe Comics has made a fortune. Now nearly half of the top cartoonists in the industry are serializing their new works on Tribe. Now a new website, Shadow, has suddenly appeared. Is this website going to dominate the comics industry in the future?"
"… "
If Shadow had collaborated with the screenwriter, people wouldn't be so shocked.
But because everyone thought that Shadow was just a pure painter, when "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" became so popular, everyone was dumbfounded!
That night!
Shadow’s tribal fans entered the follower growth mode!
also.
The comments section of his blog is also very lively, with old fans and new readers mixed together:
"I'm here to yell 666 to the boss!"
"When I read Shadow Teacher's new comic, my body always trembles violently and then becomes bored..."
"You beast upstairs, what did you do to Food Wars!?"
"By the way, Shadow-sensei is obviously very good at original creation, why did he choose to be a pure painter before?"
"Don't you understand? Of course it's because of love."
"The answer is... Chu Kuang..."
"Meng Xin doesn't quite understand, who is Chu Kuang, and what is his relationship with Chu Kuang?"
"Let me give you some basic information. Teacher Yingzi's first comic work is called "The Prince of Tennis". It is a comic adapted from a novel. In addition, Chu Kuang, Yingzi, and Xianyu are three good friends in private."
"Oh my god, this is so exciting?"
"So even though Shadow-sensei is very good at original creation, he still drew comics for Prince of Tennis, all for Chu Kuang?"
"Hahahaha, Teacher Xianyu, keep up the good work!"
"Does Teacher Chu Kuang feel Shadow's love?"
"As Xianyu and Chu Kuang's influence grows, our teacher Yingzi also starts trying hard to keep up with them."
"… "
At this time, Shadow's fan following has exceeded 15 million, and is striding towards 20 million fans.
