Everyone knows.
Xianyu, Chukuang and Yingzi are three best friends.
Shadow himself once admitted this in a pre-release interview before the release of Food Wars!
They don't pay attention to other stars or colleagues, but the three of them pay attention to each other, forming a perfect closed loop, so netizens often joke about the relationship between the three.
but…
Although the three people's attention was closed, for a long time, everyone's attention was completely focused on Xianyu and Chu Kuang.
It’s like there’s always one person who is invisible in many groups.
The south envies the fish, the north is crazy.
Shadow obviously has a close relationship with the two, but he seems to be an outsider who is not taken seriously. Netizens who follow the three of them jokingly call him:
Little transparent.
This is related to the achievements of the three people in their respective fields.
Xianyu is a recognized genius in the composing world and is also good at film screenwriting. His greatest achievement is the masterpiece "Wedding in a Dream".
Chu Kuang has spanned all major novel genres, becoming a demon in the eyes of many of his peers, sweeping the mystery world with many classic short stories, fantasy novels, and even "Murder on the Orient Express".
Although Shadow is also a well-known figure in the comics industry, he is not the top one.
There are even some voices that believe...
Yingzi became famous thanks to Chu Kuang's "The Prince of Tennis".
Of course, the subsequent popularity of "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" proved that Shadow could achieve good results in the comics industry without relying on Chu Kuang.
But that's all.
So many people secretly feel that:
Shadow is less qualified than the other two in every aspect.
It was luck that Yingzi was able to make friends with Xianyu and Chu Kuang.
His ability to join the closed loop of three people caring about each other meant that he was above the other two.
However, the emergence of "Death Note" completely broke this perception!
Everyone's view of shadows was overturned this night!
That’s why the popular comment online, “I seem to understand why Xianyu and Chu Kuang pay attention to Yingzi, birds of a feather flock together, and perverts really only play with perverts,” has so many likes—
This sentence perfectly expresses everyone's subversive mood at the moment!
"You're absolutely right. Birds of a feather flock together. Perverts really only hang out with perverts!"
"Who dares to say that Yingzi and Chu Kuangxianyu playing together is marrying above their station now?"
"What's the old saying? To tell what level a person is, just look at the kind of friends he keeps. Shadow's friends are Chu Kuang and Xian Yu, so what's his level?"
"That's right. How can someone who can be friends with Nan Xianyu and Bei Chukuang be a weakling?"
"Who will dare to say Shadow is invisible from now on?"
"Shadow: I'm going to be honest. I'm not pretending anymore. I'm actually a big shot."
"No one really thinks Shadow is a nobody, right? No way, no way?"
"So Shadow is so awesome, then why didn't he show off before and was teased by everyone for so long?"
"Maybe this is the mentality of the big guys. They don't care at all."
"Shadow: Okay, I'll play games with my hands too."
"Very insightful! Judging from the level of Death Note, Shadow really used to play games with his feet."
"There are no younger brothers among the three best friends, they are all big brothers!"
"… "
It doesn't matter whether you understand comics or not.
Just have eyes.
Anyone who has seen Shadow’s paintings will be convinced!
There is no need to judge from too many professional perspectives. The simple and rough summary is "the painting is so beautiful."
But netizens still can’t figure it out? Since Shadow is so powerful? Why didn’t he show his strength before
Is it really as netizens speculated, that this guy is just too lazy
So you are too lazy to draw seriously
Although this is the only plausible reason, everyone always thinks this explanation is ridiculous -
Even absurd.
As a result, the next day, many people's questions were answered.
Someone came forward to explain why the shadow's style suddenly became so gorgeous in "Death Note"!
This person is Shadow’s number one comic assistant, Luo Wei.
Luo Wei’s online name is “Luo Li”.
She herself is a well-known lady in the fan circle.
Madam and Dada have the same meaning and are both titles for fan fiction authors, implying respect and admiration.
In addition, Luo Wei served as Shadow's assistant under the name "Luo Li", so she has a say in "Death Note".
Luo Wei published a long article:
"I see everyone is discussing why Teacher Yingzi's painting skills have become so good? As the person involved, you should explain it."
"First of all, I want to correct a grammatical error. It's not that Teacher Yingzi's painting skills have suddenly become better? It's not a temporary breakthrough? It's that Teacher Yingzi's painting skills have always been very good!"
"I was willing to be Teacher Yingzi's assistant because I was conquered by his painting skills."
Luo Wei was talking about the past when she and Lin Yuan competed in Chinese painting at Qin Yi, but she did not reveal too many details.
In Luo Wei's opinion, Lin Yuan's Chinese painting skills are better than hers!
So although she was shocked at first that Lin Yuan's comic skills were so terrible, when she thought about her experience of being beaten by Lin Yuan in traditional Chinese painting, she suddenly understood why Lin Yuan could crush her in comics.
The key point is her subsequent explanation:
“In fact, Mr. Yingzi is a very easy-going person in private? Even a little lazy. He often provides storyboards, makes a simple line draft, and then gives the main painting task to me as an assistant. So everyone thinks that Mr. Yingzi’s previous works were not as good as they are now, because in the previous "Prince of Tennis" and the later "Food Wars! Soul", many contents were drawn by me. I saw someone joking online that Mr. Yingzi must have asked an assistant to write for him in the past. In a sense, there is nothing wrong with it, of course it’s not that exaggerated.”
"In fact, Death Note was originally created by Shadow-sensei and I."
“We spent two months accumulating manuscripts, and the quality of the drawings is no different from the first two comic works.”
"But just when Death Note was about to be released, Shadow-sensei suddenly rejected our previous draft and personally drew a new version, which is the version you see now. Because Shadow-sensei's drawing skills are so great, my ability is completely unable to keep up with this new version, so I can only help him."
"As for why Shadow-sensei decided to redraw Death Note at the last minute, maybe you can guess it without me saying it."
"I will upload the first version of Death Note in a while, which is the manuscript that was rejected by Shadow Teacher. I have randomly cut out a few pictures for you to enjoy."
"… "
After the long article was published, Luo Wei actually uploaded the first version of "Death Note" to the blog.
The first version of Death Note, which was the rejected draft, was indeed similar in quality to Shadow's first two works...
Netizens were dumbfounded.
This boss is so willful!!
