Chapter 13 Cosplay Trends (3)

  "Good morning, Senqi!"

  "Good morning, Miss Jasmine!"

  "Has today's comic arrived?"

  "Are those two comic magazines for Menma-sama? Not yet! Kanzaki-san went to Hokkaido Station, and it's been a while, so he should be back soon! It's strange, though - those two magazines are usually always on time, but this issue is late by a day!"

  "It's really strange! Could something have happened to Princess Sakurako?"

  "Oh my, Miss Moli, don't talk nonsense! With the protection of Tianzhao Dashi, how could anything happen to her? Maybe she's busy with her new book and got delayed. I wonder when her new book will be released? It was supposed to be postponed until after the New Year, but now it's almost April! Many students from Beigao come here every day to ask about it! Why doesn't the president urge her a bit more?"

  "Really! You should ask your president about it, I suspect he's the one behind this, Menma-sama has always been accommodating to book lovers' requests!"

  "You're right, I should make a call!"

  "That's right, this is how it should be done!"

  Beep beep, a car drove up to the entrance of San Sheng Tang 98th store. The door opened and someone jumped out from inside - it was none other than Kōkō Kawasaki who had been away for quite some time.

  "Has the manga arrived, Ezaki-kun?"

  "Here, here! Saikou no Menu (Menu-chan) has given us a big surprise!"

  "Surprise?"

  Kawasaki Takamitsu pulled out a folded poster from his bosom, unfolded it, and then unfolded it again!

  On the poster, Tanaka Kanna is dressed in a professional suit, cosplaying as Toudou Yuuki. She stands behind Jerry's Conan with a worried face, while Jerry points forward with his hand, and the huge impact force breaks out several words: The truth is only one!

  Although CosPy has been around for a long time, it's the first time it appears on a poster in this way!

  "Sen Qi Jun, it's not just this one, almost every CosPy issue has a poster inside?"

  "What's CosPy?"

  "It's a supplement that was released with two manga volumes! Menou-sama must have been busy with this publication, which is why the original release time was delayed!"

  "Alright, alright, let the workers hurry over and unload the goods, get the magazines on the shelves as soon as possible, and then hang up the posters!"

  "Hi!"

  After buying three magazines, Nagatani Mirei sat in the bookstore and started flipping through them. Menamori-sama's outfit is really mature and attractive, Jerry-kun is so cute! Inoue-sensei even dyed his hair red, it's really cool! His dunking action is so domineering! In comparison, Higuchi-sensei's Hiyokoi Seijuro image doesn't quite match up, does he look like this in real life? He's not that short and fat, right? Also, Hoshino-san's Kappu outfit is interesting too... but who dressed up as the black Kappu #3? Their belly seems a bit big! Ahah~ Ozaki-san still likes to do such naughty things! Her being hugged like that is really... alluring!

  Nagatani Mariri was flipping through it, thinking carefully, when she suddenly froze. On the illustration, Kid in white clothes appeared in a sky filled with fluttering feathers, revealing an evil smile towards her!

  It's actually Ryūsaki-kun!

  "Cainai's Coffee House Grand Opening and New Book Signing Event! We are in Xiangyang, we are in the coffee house, we are here, waiting for you..."

  The new one is finally on sale!

  The entire Japanese archipelago is like Nagatani Mari, excitedly jumping up!

  ……

  The establishment of the IC Youth Manga Talent Development Fund has received full support from Japanese universities. Regarding the expulsion of Tanaka Nana, the university expressed regret and is willing to absorb her as a part-time student in the business department. In addition, Musashi University, Musashino Academia Musicae, and Sophia University, all located in Nerima Ward, sent relevant personnel, and after some negotiations, these three universities also participated in the Manga Talent Development Fund.

  April 3rd, 1988

  Tokyo, Nerima-ku, Asahigaoka, the location of Sanrio Cafe.

  Today, this place has become an ocean for comic fans and book lovers!

  "Your Highness Nana-chan, Your Highness Nana-chan, we love you~"

  "Your Highness Cai Cai Zi, your cosplay photos are really awesome!"

  Today, this place has become an ocean for Japanese media!

  "I'm Okamoto Risa from Nippon TV, and this is Menusaku's cafe in Asakazu, Nerima-ku..."

  "I'm Fukuko Fukutsu of TBS TV, today is the book signing event for national idol Nana Tanaka..."

  Today, this place has become an ocean for CosPy enthusiasts.

  "We come from BIRD company..."

  "We come from the Commune of France..."

  "We come from Nu'er Hui Autonomous Township..."

  "We come from the Wild Times Commune..."

  Today, the whole Japanese archipelago is paying attention to this woman named Tanaka Nana, her new book signing event, and her coffee shop.

  At 9 o'clock, when Tanaka Nana, dressed in a cosplay costume, brought all the manga authors under Shonen IC to the scene, all the manga and book fans' loud cheers shook the entire Akiba Square!

  "We focus on comics, we focus on the entire cultural industry's development..."

  "The industrial chain of creation, development, re-processing, marketing and distribution in the comic industry is gradually taking shape, but our talent cultivation mechanism can't keep up with the requirements of the industry..."

  "Whether now or in the future, you, my dear friends, will be the mainstream of history! So I set up this fund for you..."

  This is a brief speech by Tanaka Nana at the signing ceremony, and every time she paused, it was met with cheers from the people present!

  For those manga enthusiasts who cannot receive professional education, this is undoubtedly a great news. Shonen IC will take out 10% of the income of the comic company this year and establish an animation talent development fund with four schools in Japan: Musashino University, Musashino Music University, Sophia University to cultivate professional comic industry practitioners!

  In addition, the news of holding CosPy Grand Prix and CAP, Square Enix's new product launch conference in August this year also made CosPy enthusiasts overjoyed!

  The revered Princess Kaguya has given these bottom-dwelling, ridiculed and unrealistic dreamers a stage to showcase themselves!

  Overjoyed supporters expressed their heartfelt gratitude again and again with their cheers!

  In the midst of signing comics and new works at the same time, the opening ceremony of the coffee shop was almost completely forgotten!

  "Ah ha~ It's Mokuren-san, nice to see you again! Wait a minute, Ryūsaki-kun, Ryūsaki-kun~ come here for a sec!"

  Before long, Cosmo's elegant Ryōga appeared!

  "Ryūsaki-kun, there's a lost little cat here, would you please take her home? Hey, Matsuri-chan, you've already got the autograph, what are you dawdling for? Ryūsaki-kun, hurry up and take this kitten away, don't let her block the way, or the book fans in the back are going to get angry!"

  Ryūsaki and Hasegawa Mari were taken aback by Jerry's words, and hastily held hands and escaped into the coffee shop.

  Yeah, right, unconscious hand in hand!

  "Hey, Officer Lianfang, come over and maintain order here, you're a police officer!"

  Saito Renfa was also brought over by Jerry due to her great image, and she cosplayed as Izumi Kaidou from "Mobile Police Patlabor". With short hair and a police uniform, the freshman law student looked exceptionally heroic! No wonder many fans of "Patlabor" often couldn't help but glance at her from time to time.

  "Hi!"

  On April 3, 1988, the Cos wind that swept through Harajuku suddenly ignited a Cos boom across Japan. Almost overnight, Cos-related shops sprouted up like mushrooms after rain in Japan. The Cos goods temporarily placed on sale at the Sanseido bookstore were snapped up, and something called "Monster Cards" became a huge hit along with other manga-related items, sweeping rapidly across the Japanese archipelago!

  "Can't escape, can't escape~" (EVA)

  "Nana-ri, I love you~" (Rebellious Lelouch)

  "I'm indeed a genius!" (Slam Dunk)

  "In the name of the moon, I will punish you!" (Sailor Moon)

  "I'm going to take all the women in the world and make them all part of my harem!" (BASTARD!! Dark Destruction God)

  "Miss, do you like to eat green peppers?" (Crayon Shin-chan)

  "I'm not gay, it's just that the person I love happens to be a man too." (Absolute Love)

  ……

  For a moment, classic quotes echoed through every street in Japan!

  The production line of Sanrio was under unprecedented pressure, and even Kitty products were squeezed out of the workshop! Tsuji Shintaro wiped a cold sweat as he saw the busy workshop. He had underestimated the popularity of this national idol. If he hesitated for a moment, the entire market would be handed over to others. Now, looking at the Kitty cat thrown into the corner, what could he do?

  A certain little fellow who had helped bring about the present situation was now at home, giving pointers to Alvey R. Smith!

  "Alvy, what do you think of Ed? Ed Catmull (the other founder of Pixar)."

  "Passion, vitality, good at teamwork, rich in innovative spirit, he is the most leader-like person I have ever seen. Although, he may not be as smart as me, I mean in the technical field!"

  "What about John? John Lasseter (formerly director at Disney, vice president at Pixar)!!"

  "He is extremely charismatic and creativity is the one thing he never lacks! Of course, he's fatter than me!"

  "How about digging them over?"

  "Dig it over?"

  "My intention is to pry open Jobs' corner of the wall!"

  "Ah ha~ This is indeed a great idea. However, boss, although Jobs is arrogant, it doesn't mean his vision is problematic. Talents like Ed and John, he would never let them go no matter what!"

  "Who told you to let him go! I mean, let Mr. Cartmell and Mr. Russell jump ship willingly! Do you think having the same advanced technology and abundant research funding would be attractive to Mr. Cartmell and Mr. Russell?"

  "But how did they know these things?"

  "Didn't you tell your old friend?"

  Starting point. Welcome, book lovers! The latest, fastest and hottest serialized works are all on the starting point of original works!
