Comic Expo originated from the Lucca International Comic Festival, the world's second largest comic and video game exhibition in Italy, which began in 1965 and was formerly known as the "International Comic Salon".
However, it was obvious that the Italians did not take this event seriously, and in the end this large-scale entertainment event for enthusiasts was promoted by their ally Xiao Baga.
In 1975, Japan opened the arket, which was a doujin exhibition with the main activity of selling doujins.
Every CM is a blowout period for various books. When the CM is coming, please be sure to ensure the capacity of your hard drive (network disk).
Of course, in addition to books, there will also be a lot of peripheral sales and cosplay activities at CM’s booth.
As for why genuine peripherals are sold together with doujinshi...
Make money, don't shiver.
Currently, CM is the largest comic exhibition in the world, but compared to its original name, otakus and otakus seem to prefer to call it "Jihad".
For example, Lu Mingfei, Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingfei.
And Gu Bei.
This is truly an example of turning other people's culture into one's own use.
Gu Bei knew that until the next ten years or so, anyone who had not carefully examined the history of Comic Con would think that Comic Con originated in Japan rather than Italy.
However, Yuan Zhisheng obviously doesn't care much about this "excellent" traditional culture.
To be more precise, Yuan Zhisheng cannot understand this kind of behavior of pinning his life on fantasy.
Just like white pieces of paper tied to a string and swinging in the air can attract cabbage butterflies, because they will regard the paper as a female to mate.
So stupid, how could there be a creature that thinks of a piece of paper as his wife?
Yuan Zhisheng opened the door of Heshi's room and prepared to check Eriki's physical condition.
Yesterday, after Gu Bei finished suppressing Eriyi's bloodline, he took Eriyi out to play.
Considering that Eri Yi had not stepped out of the room for so many years, Yuan Zhisheng let her out in a moment of soft-heartedness. Naturally, he did not make a detailed check on Eri Yi's physical condition.
Today, Yuan Zhisheng is going to take Hui Liyi for a good check-up to see the effect of Gu Bei's treatment, and by the way, make detailed arrangements for Hui Liyi's next step in life.
Yuan Zhisheng opened the door and walked into the inner room, but did not see Eri Yi.
Not awake yet?
"Eriyi?"
Yuan Zhisheng called out Eri Yi's name, but received no response.
Yuan Zhisheng felt something was wrong.
Yuan Zhisheng found the note on the table.
Yuan Zhisheng read the content of the note.
The BOSS enters violent mode.
"Gu Bei!"
A creature who thinks Paper Man is his wife kidnapped his dear sister!
"Ah sneeze!"
Gu Bei sneezed, and everyone turned to look at him.
Eri Yi stood next to Gu Bei cutely and tilted her head: "Silly tape?"
Gu Bei shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and started counting in his hands.
Are you kidding me, Liuku Immortal Thief Dacheng’s body can catch a cold?
Someone must have touched the warlock's inspiration.
I just don’t know who it is...
Godfather? Sister Xiaoyan? Sister Hua (acting director of Nadutong)?
It can't be Brother Yuan, right?
Thinking of this, Gu Bei's calculating hands suddenly stopped.
Forget it, just in case it turns out to be Brother Yuan and he is worried about by a grown man...
It's quite disgusting when I think about it.
Eriyi watched Gu Bei's expression change from the side, and suddenly felt interesting, and imitated Gu Bei's change of expression.
Chu Zihang was flipping through the "CM Encyclopedia" he took from the exhibition hall staff. It is said that it contains records of all the works since the exhibition was founded, as well as the distribution map and detailed introduction of the booths.
Chu Zihang's injury does not hinder his movement, it just prevents him from using Qi and mobilizing a large amount of dragon blood. Chu Zihang himself doesn't want to lie in bed all the time, so he comes along.
In addition, he also has another book "How to Communicate with the Second Dimension" in his hand.
Gu Bei always felt that since he came to Japan, his senior brother has read more and more books, and they have become more and more strange.
Fingel was standing aside poking at the screen, and Gu Bei didn't know whether he was operating something or simply teasing little Eva.
However, with a height of 1.9 meters and nearly 2 meters, coupled with his big muscles and round waist, Fingel stands out among the 550,000 otakus. He is a completely different existence.
When the people around him saw it, they all ran away, leaving an open space in the crowded crowd without doing anything.
It was only at this time that Gu Bei felt that Fingel was of some use.
What? You said he can also hack?
Don't you think Eva is much better than him in this regard?
Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang huddled next to a few people.
Yes, Su Xiaoqiang is also here, saying that as a member of a collective, you must participate in collective activities. This is what she did when she was in the literary club.
Very good. Gu Bei started to have a toothache when he heard the word "group", not for anything else but because of the fact that he was the only one of the nine people in the group who was human.
Now Su Xiaoqiang and Lu Mingfei were whispering to each other with their heads lowered.
In other words... rubbing their ears and temples together?
It shouldn't be to this extent, but there is a tendency for development.
Gu Bei felt that he had underestimated Lu Mingfei. This guy was not a dog licker, he was a wolf warrior!
It has only been a few days, and not only has the target shifted, but it has almost been won.
Look around you, you see Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang, Fingel and Eva, the cheerleaders whose senior brothers have unresolved feelings.
Are you the only single person? !
Gu Bei felt that he needed to see a psychiatrist.
Eriki didn't know why Gu Bei suddenly became frustrated, so she reached out and grabbed his arm and shook it.
Gu Bei came back to his senses and smiled at her: "I'm fine."
Lu Mingfei ended the encrypted communication with Su Xiaoqiang and turned to ask Gu Bei: "Boss, when will Brother Caesar and Sister Mai arrive?"
Gu Bei raised his hand and looked at the time: "It should be soon."
Just as he was talking, the crowd suddenly started to commotion and separated neatly on both sides, leaving a path open.
The blond man wore sunglasses, a colorful beach shirt on his upper body, and an orange t-shirt on his lower body. He walked towards the crowd with his head held high, as if he was walking on a red carpet, exuding an atmosphere that was incompatible with the surroundings.
Beside him were two beautiful ladies, one was tall and had a pair of impressive long legs, the other...
Um? Painted pear clothes?
Gu Bei rubbed his eyes and looked carefully at the red hair, then turned to look at Eri Yi next to him, looking back and forth several times.
Eryi blinked, curious about what Gu Bei was doing.
The arrogant man led the two beauties, and under the curse of the surrounding otakus and otakus, they merged with Gu Bei and others, and in one fell swoop they won Fingel's most unique title.
Caesar coquettishly took off his sunglasses and hung them on the chest of the flowered shirt: "Long wait."
Gu Bei nodded: "It's okay, why don't you introduce me?"
As he spoke, he pointed at the red-haired girl behind Caesar.
Caesar naturally noticed the girl next to Gu Bei who looked very similar to Nono, but he did not admit his mistake.
The temperaments of the two are completely different.
Eriki has a lively heart hidden under loneliness and silence. She has developed an indifferent temperament after not having contact with the world for many years, but she still maintains awe and curiosity about the world, and her cool temperament is full of activity.
Nuonuo is more like a bad girl. She is not afraid of anything. She is carefree like a chivalrous girl, but she is meticulous and loyal. She exudes sharpness and pride all over her body. She is even better than a little goddess.
"Hello everyone, just call me Nono."
Nuonuo greeted everyone with a lollipop in her mouth. Although she used a pseudonym, no one cared.
After all, several of the people here are here from netizens, so calling them by their pseudonyms is more comfortable than calling them by their real names.
Gu Bei pointed at the girl who had crawled behind him with only one head exposed: "She is Eri Yi, um... for some reason, this child is not very good at talking, and she can't understand Chinese..."
Before Gu Bei finished speaking, Nono came over and spoke in a fluent Tokyo accent: "Your name is Eri Yi, we look alike!"
Gu Bei was stunned.
Caesar explained: "Nono can speak six languages."
Gu Bei was speechless.
Eriki nodded slightly as she listened to Nono's words. She also felt that this sister looked similar to her.
Nuonuo said half-jokingly: "People in my family say that my grandmother and I look alike. I heard that my grandmother also came to Japan when she was young. Are you related to me by blood?"
Eriki listened, then showed an innocent and ignorant expression.
Gu Bei said in Chinese: "Hui Liyi has no parents and is an orphan."
Nuonuo was stunned and whispered: "Huh? Sorry..."
"It doesn't matter." Gu Bei shook his head, not paying much attention.
Nuonuo suddenly said: "How about I become your sister!"
This time it was Eryi's turn to be stunned and looked at Gu Bei without knowing why.
Gu Bei smiled at her: "Eriyi can make her own decision, if Eriyi is willing."
Eriko thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
Nuonuo rushed forward and hugged Eriki's petite body, making Gu Bei feel that she didn't feel like she had recognized a sister, but rather like she had found a good toy?
Or a pillow?
Gu Bei shook his head and asked Lu Mingfei to take Su Xiaoqiang to identify him.
Once we got acquainted, everyone was basically familiar with each other, but...
Jiude Mai looked at Gu Bei and Eli Yi, Caesar and Nono, Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang, Fengel who was poking at his cell phone, and Chu Zihang who was gnawing at a book.
Mai Shutoku suddenly felt like she shouldn't have come.
Driving a Lamborghini sports car, wearing Louboutin high-heeled shoes and a size 2 Prada dress, riding in a business jet to date handsome men and beautiful ninjas all over the world, and at this moment, he has become the only "real single" in the room? !
I shouldn't be here~ I should be under the car~
Everyone chatted for a while, and finally when the venue opened, Gu Bei waved his hand: "Okay, let's enter."
Everyone entered the venue bustling among the crowds, but people around them would avoid them to some extent. After all, Japan is a country that likes to read the atmosphere. To put it simply, they prefer to read the atmosphere.
People like Xiang Gu Bei and his group who have no discernment will always be isolated by most people.
The crowd moved forward in unison, and Lu Mingfei cheered himself up.
Because of the Chiyoda burning incident, the entire Chiyoda area is now closed. Lu Mingfei can't go to Akihabara. He wants to buy Asahina's pillow. This is his only chance.
Others didn't care much, and even Gu Bei had a dispensable mentality.
After all, after three days in Tokyo, Gu Bei had no time to spare. His heart was already tired and numb, and he no longer had the sense of expectation he had at the beginning.
Chu Zihang followed the crowd, silently recorded the video and put it in the discussion group of several people, and at the same time @ the working soldier and Eva.
Fingel looked at Eva on the phone holding an email as big as her body with strange eyes, turned to look at Chu Zihang, and then silently asked Eva to open the live broadcast on her phone.
Working soldier: "..."
Working soldier: "You don't want to take me with you when you go out to play, do you?"
After entering the venue, the most active people among the crowd were sisters Nono and Eriki.
Nuonuo has never participated in similar activities, so she is quite curious about these.
As for Eri...she is curious about everything.
Nuonuo pulled Eli Yi around and everyone was following behind them. Caesar looked doting on her face, and Gu Bei was responsible for answering questions.
"what is that?"
"Poster."
"What about that one?"
"Figure."
"Why are those people dressed so strangely?"
"That's how they show their love."
"Then why are their movements weird?"
"They're making things right."
"What is this soft thing?"
"Fly... bah, fleshy Ganoderma lucidum."
"Meat Ganoderma? What is that?"
"Children, don't ask so many questions."
Nono was a little unconvinced: "You're not much older than me, are you?!"
Gu Bei winked at Caesar: "Anyway, don't ask."
Caesar reacted and pulled Nono to the other side.
After Mai Shutoku entered the scene, she separated from several people. She couldn't bear to eat dog food all the way.
Lu Mingfei discovered Asahina Minoru's removable pillow on the way, and Su Xiaoqiang left the team with him.
Fingel took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, stuffed his cell phone, and dragged Chu Zihang, who was reading seriously, to secretly go to several hidden corners in the venue. As for the specific dirty transactions, then Let’s ask Chu Zihang.
Unknowingly, everyone dispersed, leaving only Gu Bei and Eryi.
Gu Bei sighed: People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team.
Just as he was thinking about it, Eryi pulled Gu Bei's sleeve.
"What's wrong Eri?"
Eriyi pointed to a booth nearby: "Brother."
Gu Bei: "????"
Brother Yuan?
Gu Bei didn't know why, so he followed Eri Yi to the booth.
Surprisingly, the doujinshi on this booth did not depict an anime character, but a real person.
What Gu Bei didn't expect was that the real person who had been tricked was actually Yuan Zhisheng! ?
The stall owner was a beautiful woman in her thirties. Gu Bei asked the stall owner if he could check it out, and the stall owner said generously that of course he could.
Gu Bei picked up a book and turned it over.
One second.
"Snapped!"
Gu Bei closed the book.
Just as Eriki was about to turn her head to take a look, she was stopped by Gu Bei: "Children can't look at these things."
Eriki nodded blankly. In fact, she was also very curious about the contents, but there must be a reason why Gu Bei didn't let her read it.
Gu Bei wouldn't look at it if he wasn't allowed to.
Eri rarely rejects others.
Gu Bei took the fanzine and asked the boss: "Ms. Fangcun, who is this person...?"
Fanfic author Fangcun covered his mouth and said with a "ho ho ho" smile: "You don't know it's normal. This is Master Kazama Ruri."
Kazama... Liuli?
Brother Yuan, it’s true, he even used a stage name when he debuted.
"Dare I ask who this Master Kazama Liuli is..."
"Are you talking about me?"
A gentle voice came from behind. Gu Bei looked at Ms. Fangcun's face with the same enthusiasm as a believer seeing an angel, and then exclaimed: "Master Kazama Ruri!?"
Gu Bei turned around and saw a gentle and elegant man who looked similar to Yuan Zhisheng but was more feminine. He was more beautiful than the most beautiful woman Gu Bei had ever seen.
The man smiled and bowed slightly: "I met your Excellency in Liuli, Liufengjian."
