Kenji Tanaka voted for Edgerunners' popularity, but he didn't leave any message at the end of the official website.
Why? Because he's lazy.
Most netizens are like that. The silent majority is the majority.
Only a few will be active online and comment.
Or perhaps they are interested. A certain work is very disgusting and completely repulses them.
This silent majority will come out and speak.
But even if they don't, this silent majority will clearly show their likes and dislikes.
For example, the popularity ranking of manga in the manga world has always been a manifestation of this. Even if someone has always been at the top, even if others have 10,000 negative comments about him, it cannot change the fact that his work is excellent.
But this time, the promotional activities related to "Edgerunners" and "Chainsaw Man" really made this silent majority a little jealous.
Many of them, like Kenji Tanaka, began to actively speak in the discussion post of "Chainsaw Man" on the official website.
For a while, the comments on the official "Chainsaw Man" post reached tens of thousands.
"Chainsaw Man is a work that currently seems excellent in all aspects. The plot direction is completely different from other works. Silverhand's exceptional and magnificent comedic style, his exceptional character design, and his relatively special values are works that surprise the audience in all aspects."
"Although "Chainsaw Man" has not yet shown any outstanding features, I believe that with Silverhand's ability, it will undoubtedly become more and more exciting in the future."
"There are many similar advantages between "Chainsaw Man" and "Edgerunners".
For example, Silverhand's solid and mature drawing skill can make people feel as if they are watching the animation in person.
There's also a sense of camera and story similar to a movie, absolutely unmatched by other manga."
From the perspective of the story, I prefer "Edgerunners", but "Chainsaw Man" is also quite good currently. It conveys the idea that daily life is quite happy and that dreams are never divided into noble and vulgar. Unlike the protagonists of other manga, whose dreams and goals are so lofty that they are false and empty, Denji's dream,
the protagonist of "Chainsaw Man", is very realistic.
This is a very novel value.
Just look at the comment section to see how hard netizens have tried to be selected.
Although the plot of "Chainsaw Man" is not very appealing currently, to win the prize, netizens can speak with little enthusiasm.
The reason it is said to be unenthusiastic is that what they said is true, only they exaggerated several times.
Kenji Tanaka also did his best to give "Edgerunners" a good rainbow fart.
After sending the comments.
"Alright, I hope I get selected for the internal test, I hope it's me!"
Finally, he clasped his hands and prayed.
Ren knew nothing about this and did not intervene in any publicity campaigns for "Edgerunners" or "Chainsaw Man".
He is still preparing for the big event of the single volume of "Fire Punch".
Takashi decided that the manga world would help Ren publish the single volume of "Fire Punch", and the 83 chapters of "Fire Punch" will be divided into eight volumes for release.
After sending it to the higher-ups for review and approval, he began working on the typesetting.
This busy back-and-forth process has taken almost half a month.
Soon, the most important holiday in Japan and its surrounding areas, New Year's Eve, is approaching.
This is the second year since Ren came to this world, but he is not worried.
In his previous life, he had lived alone since junior high school, and he was used to it. New Year's Eve is no different from any other day.
If so, it's probably because other people's homes seem livelier than usual at this time.
In his previous life, he hadn't received red envelopes for many years. The ones he received were from his group friends, his boss, and company superiors.
But that was not online or after New Year's Eve.
It had nothing to do with New Year's Eve.
After Ren's arrival, last year was similar to his previous life.
But... this year is different.
"...Ren, come to our house to celebrate New Year's."
The voice of the stingy Hiroki came from the phone: "Our house is quite big; I've asked someone to help you clean a room."
Ren felt a little uncomfortable, but for now, the stingy man was being nice to him.
So he couldn't refuse Hiroki's request.
"Not so good... I have some work arrangements for New Year's."
Ren refused with some discretion.
Hiroki sighed, although he successfully recognized his nephew Ren on that occasion.
But he didn't have much time to visit him again during that period.
So it was normal for Ren to refuse as their relationship faded.
Hiroki didn't care.
As long as Ren had a good life, he would be considered worthy of his brother.
But the most important thing was Ren's illness...
He had talked to Sakura again. Ren might have fallen and hit his head before, which not only caused him memory loss but also some mental problems.
For example, the identity recognition disorder in the latest mental report.
Ren recognized himself as a dog and had clear tendencies towards abuse and self-harm. Combined with the brain CT scan and other comprehensive investigations, it is not ruled out that he would further deteriorate into a depressive and suicidal psychological state.
Then... Hiroki looked for several famous domestic experts, and after understanding Ren's situation, they were looking forward to his treatment.
The most important thing was for Ren to spend New Year's with them to strengthen their relationship.
By then, Ren would not resist psychiatric treatment so much and could achieve twice the results with half the effort.
"Work and stuff don't matter," Hiroki said softly: "After all, we're family. It's fine for you to temporarily leave work and come
to your uncle's house to spend New Year's and stay for half a month before returning." "If it really doesn't work out, you can stay at your uncle's house and transfer all your work matters."
He tried to be as kind as possible, without showing any airs of an elder.
He read what young people said online: that young people nowadays mostly hate those stubborn elders who rely on their seniority to oppress the younger generations.
So he tried to be as gentle as possible, not so strong, just so Ren would feel less psychological resistance.
"Well... okay."
Ren opened his mouth and finally had to agree.
After all, he occupied the original owner's body and still had to assume some of his responsibilities.
