The serialization of Detective Conan.
The first sentence:
At night.
In a villa.
"I get it. Before anyone could rush over after hearing the screams, the murderer had already escaped by leaping from the window to the other side. In that case, everyone should understand why there were no traces of the culprit outside the window!"
"H-How is that possible? There was at least a distance of more than five meters between the two sides! "
"If he had climbed up the wall to the roof, the distance would have been less than two meters! However, if one wasn't familiar with the structure of the house, one wouldn't be able to figure it out. Moreover, during that period of time, there was only one person who could move freely in the house without arousing suspicion. "
"Quick, tell us! Who on earth killed my wife? "
"That would be — her husband, which is you!"
…
The Japanese people were horrified!
"Aiya!"
"It's another good comic!"
"A detective comic? I like it! "
"Why are there so many good comics these days?"
"God knows."
"Eh, why does it have so many pages?"
"Yeah, why does one chapter of this comic have the same volume as three chapters of the other comics?"
"What do you know? They only release three chapters a week!"
"Three chapters a week?"
"What? Isn't that something that only Teacher Ozawa and Teacher Aoi can do? "
"Fuck, another freak who releases three chapters a week!"
"Another one?"
"Oh my God, what kind of animals are these!"
The Shūkansha Studios, who had been holding back all this while, exploded without any warning!
POO Studios and Shōnen Publishing were startled. Many of the editors were dumbfounded. Although their One Piece and Naruto were currently releasing three chapters a week, there was still a gradual process before that. At the beginning, they were also releasing one chapter a week to two chapters a week, and then slowly increasing in volume! Fuck, you're fucking releasing three chapters a week? Do you want to die! Why don't you just ascend to the heavens!
When they finished reading the comic, the editors of the two comics magazines broke out in cold sweat!
It was so good!
It was so exciting!
This was practically the pinnacle of detective comics!
Surely not, right? Another competitor? Was there going to be another national cartoon?
No, it was still too early to talk about this!
…
Day after day passed.
Detective Conan continued to be popular!
It actually snatched a piece of the market from the hands of "Naruto" and "One Piece". That scene actually had the trend of a tripartite confrontation!
The Japanese people had a very high opinion of him.
"It's beautiful!"
"It's very suitable for girls!"
"Yes, my boyfriend and I read the serial every day!"
"Is the new serial out?"
"Who died this week?"
The people responded enthusiastically.
However, the title of National Comic was not easily given out by the industry. This was because they were still waiting for the market to test it out. It was too early to say anything now. Moreover, they could not give out another title. One Piece had taken the title of National Comic, and Naruto had taken the title of National Comic. Since when did national comics become so common?! Therefore, if they did not see the real results this time, many people would not dare to mention the words' national comics'!
He didn't dare to give it to her anymore!
He couldn't afford it!
On this day, the results were out!
The sales of the first volume of Detective Conan were astonishing!
Tokyo.
Hokkaido.
Osaka.
In many areas, people were queuing up to buy it.
Moreover, he could clearly feel that there were many more girls in the group.
"Is there Conan?"
"I want a Conan."
"How much is Detective Conan?"
Additional print run!
Another additional print run!
Fortunately, Shūkansha was prepared this time and did not panic!
Detective Conan's final sales figures stopped at 680,000 copies. It couldn't compare to One Piece or Naruto, but compared to the other comics, it was far ahead! Logically speaking, this number should have been enough to be proud of. It would have been a top-notch result no matter which year it was. But it was different this year. The comics industry had blossomed in many areas and was flourishing. First, there was One Piece, and now, there was Naruto. Each of the first volumes had sold over a million copies. Detective Conan did seem a little lacking compared to them. It was also a top-notch comic, but it was not that top-notch!
Shūkansha was a little disappointed.
"It didn't exceed a million copies?"
"Could it be that the serialization speed was too fast?"
"Hai, detective comics really can't compare to hot-blooded comics!"
"Is it really not comparable?"
POO Studios and Shōnen Publishing heaved a sigh of relief.
"It's much worse than us."
"Luckily."
"That scared me."
"I don't think it can be considered a National Comic."
"Yeah, it was just a false alarm."
"Hur hur, didn't I say that national comics can't be all over the streets?"
"Yeah, it's already a miracle that two of them came out this year. Another one? That'd be crazy! "
That was what a lot of people were thinking.
Even Shūkansha herself was feeling extremely regretful.
However, the development of things sometimes didn't go according to plan. Detective Conan naturally started on the path of being animated. With a top-notch cast, top-notch voice actors, and top-notch soundtrack, a lot of people had high hopes for the animation. It was all produced according to the highest quality standards. But when the first episode of Detective Conan was broadcasted and this week's viewership ratings were released, everyone was shocked to discover that something big had happened in the comics industry again!
No one could have expected it!
No one could have predicted it!
The viewership ratings for the first episode of Detective Conan had actually crushed One Piece and Naruto!
Yes, it was a crushing!
It was a crushing that was much higher!
And what was even more worth mentioning was that Detective Conan's performance in the other Asian countries was even more eye-catching than One Piece and Naruto!
Children!
Boys!
Girls!
All of them were rooting for Detective Conan!
Detective Conan had a huge audience, and it almost caught all of them in one fell swoop!
…
China.
"I like Kudo Shinichi so much!"
"He's so handsome!"
"This is my first time watching an anime. It's so good!"
"My boyfriend keeps watching Naruto and One Piece. I can't even stand watching an episode of it. I still prefer an anime like Detective Conan."
"Me too, me too. I don't like all the fighting and killing."
"Damn, don't people die in Detective Conan?"
"They do, but that's different."
…
Korea.
"Wow, it's a new cartoon!"
"I like detective cartoons!"
"This is interesting!"
"What's going on in Japan recently?"
"I don't know. Why are there so many good cartoons?"
"Haha, of course the more the merrier!"
…
Instantly, Detective Conan swept through Asia!
All of Asia was enveloped by the wave of Detective Conan!
And at this moment, the Japanese industry had no choice but to acknowledge a fact in shock!
"Detective Conan" — they had produced yet another national cartoon!
Shūkansha was dumbfounded!
POO Studios was dumbfounded!
Shōnen Publishing was dumbfounded!
The industry insiders were going crazy!
One Piece!
Naruto!
And now there was another Detective Conan?
Each one was more popular than the other?
Each one was more influential than the other?
In the past, they would only produce one national cartoon every six years. But this year, only halfway through, they had already produced three in a row?
Fuck!
Th-This doesn't make any fucking sense!
