Simultaneously, the first episode of "The Gods", Yusuke's new work, was quietly published in the manga magazine.
However, this first episode... showed a dream that seemed to be a strange conversation between brothers in ancient times.
"Brother... when you raise the battle banner and devour the world, will you eat me?"
In the opening scene of the manga, a young, handsome boy said to the brother in front of him:
"Yes, then you will be with me and dominate the world!" the man whispered.
The plot revealed that it seemed to be just a dream.
Then, the scene changed to a high school student named... Hiroki Tanaka.
This character, named Hiroki Tanaka, appears to be the protagonist of "The Gods".
But... it's a shame to say he is. From the manga's plot, it appears that Hiroki Tanaka's grades are low and his family is also miserable.
Although his parents are still alive, they have been abroad all year and directly brought him to live with his aunts and uncles.
This ten-year-old boy, who lives freely,
seems like a mischievous child, lacking self-confidence and shy. It's unlikely he'll go to university with his good grades...
His greatest specialty is playing "StarCraft". In addition, he likes to complain and curse from time to time. He is extremely bad at doing things.
The mischievous child is also in love with a goddess in his same class. The goddess is pure and beautiful, has good academic performance, and a kind personality.
She also treats Hiroki Tanaka well, so the mischievous child appreciates her very much.
But everyone notices... 'why is this goddess so naive?''And shouldn't the goddess be interested in the protagonist, Hiroki Tanaka? She seems... his errand boy?'
This... is a little miserable.
But the protagonist is the protagonist. Suddenly, a private aristocratic university in the United States, Casal College, came to recruit students from the bad boy's high school.
But this university ignored a group of students with good academic performance, family backgrounds, and talent, and instead fell in love with Hiroki Tanaka, a bad boy.
At the same time, there is a beautiful older sister named Akari Sato, so she pays special attention to him.
However, this cheered up some manga fans who put themselves in the sad boy's shoes. Then,
a rich second-generation classmate from the same class publicly confessed to the goddess that the sad boy
secretly loved. But at that moment, the beautiful older sister Akari Sato appeared in time, gave the sad boy enough face, and drove him away in a luxury car.
Hiroki Tanaka left!
This is a refreshing plot, and everyone can still watch it.
But after reading this first episode, everyone is still bewildered.
After all, the setting is unclear and it seems like a Mary Sue romance manga with an inverted version of the male and female protagonists.
But this is a serialized work in "Manga World Gogo", so it must not be a gentle manga about everyday love.
Perhaps the first episode has not been revealed due to the chapter length. The strange beginning, the mysterious Casal Academy, and the words of the older sister Akari Sato indicate that there are still many settings in "The Gods" yet to be revealed.
But even if it's not revealed, the boredom and inexplicability of the first episode are true.
This is also the general impression of the first episode of "The Gods".
However, someone doesn't think so.
Ren looked at the story in front of him and blinked.
'Isn't this... the famous youth fantasy masterpiece from his previous life's Japanese website?'
But the name... it's not the familiar name, but "The Gods"...
But even if the name has been changed, this beginning, this protagonist, this plot direction!
Even if the name is changed to the demon clan, he can recognize it!
"After all, it's a parallel world; it's normal," Ren said as he looked at the magazine in front of him. "But I hope this world's "God Clan" has a good ending...".
He had also been a fan of the book in his previous life, and he still hoped the sequel would have a good ending.
But, unfortunately...
he could only hope that, in this parallel world, this story would also have a good ending.
Soon, the manga popularity ranking for the week also appeared.
"Chainsaw Man" was even more popular this time, and the fight between Denji and Hayakawa Aki was hilarious.
The comments on the forum and below the posts are all: "Oh my god! What's the point of specifically hitting the crotch when hitting someone? My balls hurt just from watching."
"How funny, Amamiya-sensei is as stable as ever, this episode is very funny."
"I didn't expect the love rival to appear so soon, and they started fighting
as soon as they met." "Hahahaha, what Denji said is true: when fighting a man, only aim for the crotch."
"Understood, David from Edgerunners should have aimed for Adam Smasher's crotch and given him a good hit to defeat him. ()"
"David punched him, but... he discovered the iron prosthetic in Adam Smasher's crotch."
"What do you think? Adam Smasher only has some flesh in his brain; you can remove some, but he no longer has a crotch or guts."
"Great way to hit, it made my crotch feel a phantom pain."
...
So "Chainsaw Man" is quite popular this time, and with the popularity of "Edgerunners", it crashed into fifth place.
As for the corners that no one cares about...
"Yusuke-sensei, this time the popularity of "The Gods" ranks 21st."
The new editor, Kenji Suzuki, said over the phone.
After the serialization of "Psychic Warlock" ended, Yusuke replaced the original editor, Hiroshi, with a more experienced veteran editor.
Among them, the veteran editor also put a lot of effort into the subsequent settings and creations of "The Gods".
There are only 21 serialized works in this issue of the manga magazine, which shows that the popularity of "The Gods" was last in its first serialization.
After all... "The Gods" practically didn't mention any setting in the first episode.
And since Yusuke is not popular, he has no fans to support him.
Naturally, his popularity ranks last.
"Last?" Yusuke looked dazed and doubted himself a little.
However, Kenji Suzuki comforted him and said: "Yusuke-sensei, "The Gods" is being serialized for the first time this week. This popularity is normal. This is his only new serialized work."
"But I believe in you, and I also believe in "The Gods". The subsequent settings and plots will undoubtedly shine."
"Please don't be discouraged. You have to believe that you and "The Gods" are the best!"
After Kenji Suzuki's comfort, Yusuke took a deep breath.
Yes... He has to believe in himself; he will undoubtedly succeed!
Someday, everyone will admire him!
