Food: I Am A Cartoonist In Totsuki

Chapter 2



Chapter 2: “China One” is officially released

“”China One”, is this a gourmet show that introduces Chinese cuisine?”

In the manga club, the editor-in-chief Shinji Haotian was watching carefully the manga drawn by Tong Yu.

Tōtsuki Academy, as the world’s leading culinary school, not only has advanced facilities and complete facilities, but also has everything under its umbrella.

Among them, “Tōtsuki Manga Club” is one of the departments. Don’t look at it as a manga club in Tōtsuki school, but there are many cooperation channels. In recent years, the more popular manga are published and distributed from here.

“Egg fried rice that glows, Mapo tofu with six flavors, and Shenglong dumplings that stand up. It seems exaggerated, but it’s refreshing, and the characters and storyline are also very good.”

After reading a few words, Haotian Shinji was attracted by the content of “China One”, he put it down a little reluctantly and then set his eyes on Tong Yu and said: “These comics are all from your own hands? ”

“Yes.” Tong Yu nodded.

Haotian Shinji was very surprised when he heard it, and said, “You drew it alone? It must have taken a lot of energy! I thought this kind of masterpiece was made by a team, but I didn’t expect you to do it alone. , it’s really amazing.”

After Haotian Shinji finished speaking, Tong Yu heard the system prompt again.

The original number of fans “1” has also become “2”.

“Fortunately, it didn’t take much time. Are you interested in collaborating on this comic?” Tong Yu asked.

“Cooperation, definitely cooperation. Please be sure to give the distribution rights of this comic to our comics!”

Haotian Shinji looked at Tong Yu excitedly, and said, “Sign a contract to publish this comic immediately. Don’t worry, since it was introduced by Isshiki, we will never treat you badly in terms of remuneration.”

Tong Yu doesn’t really care much about the remuneration for comics, as long as it’s okay.

He just wants to accumulate more fans now. As long as there are more fans, he can receive system rewards.

You must know that Tong Yu does not only have the comic “China One”, there are many comics he can draw.

The main purpose of releasing “China One” first is actually to accumulate popularity and fans.

After everything was negotiated and the contract signed, the next thing Tong Yu had to do was wait patiently.

Three days later, news came from the Tōtsuki manga that “Zhonghua Ian” was officially released.

Tong Yu’s manuscript to the Tōtsuki Manga Club has 30 chapters, and the manga club is divided into the first volume and the second volume to be released successively.

On the day of its release, the manga was sought after and loved by many people, and the 200,000 copies originally prepared were sold out at noon on that day.

This shocked the people of the comics club. Even if they predicted that this comic might be popular, they didn’t expect it to be so popular.

Hoshida Shinji contacted the printing factory to increase production immediately after learning that the comics were sold out.

In just 24 hours, the sales volume of “China One” has reached a terrifying 50W volumes, and the major comic stores are also in short supply.

In three days, the circulation has exceeded 200W, and the major comic stores are still in short supply.

Generally speaking, it is not bad for a newly released comic to have a sales volume of 20W in the previous week, and this comic just broke through in the morning.

And this is only the first volume, I can’t imagine how popular this comic will be when it is fully released.

Nowadays, people can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys holding the comic book “China One” in their hands.

Inside the small restaurant called “Yukihira”

“Dad, try the ‘Magic Mapo Tofu’ I made!”

Yukihira Sōma brought a plate of Mapo tofu that was just out of the pot in front of Caibo Jōichirō.

“Magic Mapo Tofu? It’s just ordinary Mapo Tofu, there’s nothing special about it, right?” Jōichirō stared at Sōma’s cooking.

“Don’t worry about it for now, just try it first.” Sōma grinned.

Seeing Sōma’s confident look, Jōichirō picked up the spoon beside him and tasted it.

Well?

Jōichirō felt the unusualness of this Mapo tofu as soon as he ate it in his mouth.

“Hey, although there is nothing special about the taste of this Mapo tofu, the taste is not the same as ordinary ones…” Jōichirō was a little surprised.

“Hahaha, isn’t Dad very surprised. Because this Mapo tofu has a ‘crisp’ texture!” Sōma looked at Jōichirō’s surprised look and said proudly.

Jōichirō is also a first-class chef, and he immediately understood after listening to it: “So, ordinary Mapo tofu only has five flavors: spicy, fragrant, color, hot, and numb, but this Mapo tofu has more ground meat.” ‘ taste.”

“This dish is really interesting, but why are you suddenly interested in Chinese food?”

“That’s because I read this manga!”

Sōma said and took out “China One Piece”.

“Zhonghua, is this a food comic?”

“That’s right, this is a food comic that was released recently. There are many interesting dishes in this comic, and I’m going to make every one of them.”

“Really, let me see it now.”

Jōichirō took the manga from Sōma’s hand, and read it with great interest.

Not only Yukihira and his son, there are many people who have been influenced by the manga of “Zhonghua Ian”. They also tried to reproduce the dishes that appeared in the manga, but many people failed to have such cooking skills as Sōma.

There are only a few people like Sōma who are simply interested in the dishes that have appeared in the manga, and most of them go for the content of the manga.

Some people also think that the dishes described in the comics are too exaggerated, and dishes like “Phoenix Crystal” can’t be cooked at all, they are just grandstanding.

Some people even think that this comic is completely made up, misleading people’s understanding of food.

Of course, such people only account for a very small number of people, and 95% of readers feel that “China One” is a gourmet comic worthy of being sought after.

Tong Yu, who is a comic author, doesn’t care about the influence of comics. He just hopes that the number of fans will be more, so that he can unlock more privileges in the system.
