Just ask random questions and then leave

I have loved reading Japanese comics since I was a child, from the earliest villain books - Astro Boy, Jungle King, Galaxy Railway 999 to Daben's Doraemon, Monster Taro, Q Taro, and then Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya (Saint of the Goddess), Detective Han Yuliang (City Hunter), the time span is about ten years (82-92). In this decade, many other Japanese comics were introduced, but not many were truly influential. Of course, Destruction King, Arale (Dr. IQ), and The Legend of the Mauryan King (Japanese original typesetting plus translation page) , Kung Fu Tornado (Young Maniac), these can be considered exceptions. Here I would like to mention a few books that may have been forgotten: Flying Man (Wonder Boy), which was my favorite comic when I was a child; Cat Commando, although there is only one copy, the funny plots in it left an impression on me. It’s very deep, it’s been a long time, and I still remember it; Superpower Magic Beauty, a work by Fujiko Fujio. The imagination of the story deeply impressed me as a child. Unfortunately, I have never seen a reprint of it, so I have kept the first edition. ; Iron Fist Boy, written by Tsuyoshi Maekawa, it is the first Chinese-themed comic I have seen; Genius Boy, drawn by Kobayashi Yuno, it is also a very funny comic, but now it seems a little "unsuitable for children"...Finally, let's talk about it Tan Xia Tan Han Yuliang, speaking of it, it should be the earliest comic with XX plot that I saw. Although Hainan's version is very abridged, some of the plot points that were missed by the editor can still be seen, although most of them are funny (Note 1). I remember that someone in China later compiled the abridged contents of the Hainan version and published several more volumes. By the way, the first printing of the Hainan edition included a color page in each copy, but it was removed in the second edition. Later, the emergence of the King of Drawings led to the real rise of Japanese comics in China, which was actually the rise of piracy. As far as I know, only a handful of Japanese comics published in mainland China are officially authorized, and the rest are pirated, including comics published on Huawang (Note 2). It is reported that this is one of the reasons why it ceased publication (Note 3). There was also an interesting phenomenon during this period. A batch of imitations of imitation paintings emerged from various places - a typical Chinese phenomenon. However, it is undeniable that Huawang and the comic magazines similar to it at the time did make a considerable contribution to the spread of Japanese comics in China and the emergence of China's own comics. Especially Huawang, its introduction to Japanese, European and American comics has broadened the horizons of many people, and its support for Chinese comics has given people hope. At that time, the layout of most Japanese comic books was based on the Hainan version, which meant that the original Japanese book was divided into two, and the translation of Japanese comics could also be said to rely on its own strength. From 1992 to 1995, the number of comics introduced during this period can be said to be at a peak, including many comics that will be called classics in the future, such as: Ranma 1/2 (Fist of Seven Smiles), Fist of the North Star, Strong Breeding Armor, Football Captain, Lucky Boy, Yu Yu Hakusho, Basketball Flyer (Slam Dunk), Three × Three Eyes, Movie Girl, Demon Fighter (Dark God of Destruction), Jojo's Adventures, Little Dinosaur Agon, The Peacock King, Dragon Mystery (it has many "aliases", see note 4), Orange Road, Strange Doctor Dr. Qin, My Love God, Sunshine Girl (Sunshine Girl)...actually like Moment Apartment, Shadow Warrior, Yaksha Crow, Dragon Comics such as The Legend of Wolf, Kindaichi Boy's Casebook, Auction House, Touch (Baseball Heroes), Football, The Invincible Strange Doctor, Heroes of the Galaxy Warring States, White Collar Boxing Champion, Kuainan School, Secret Order Killer - Ya also appeared at that time, but they were Either there were very few episodes published, or it was only serialized in magazines without a single volume, so it didn't have much impact at that time. Of course, it is unavoidable to delete comics with erotic content, such as Movie Girls and Demon Fighting Chronicles, due to national conditions. Here I would like to mention Demon Fighter and Sunshine Girl. Putting aside the erotic content of the former, its artwork, storyline, and content are all very good. It is definitely worth watching. Unfortunately, so far So far, the only work I have read by Ogiwara Ichiji is this one; and the latter is my personal favorite Japanese comic. It is the best choice in terms of painting skills and story arrangement. The theme it contains - environmental protection is also my favorite. Interesting, and most unforgettable is its ending. Although I have some opinions about Hojo Tsukasa himself (see Note 5), this does not affect my evaluation of Sunshine Girl. Of course, there were many good comics from that period, such as: Wangxiang Warrior, Genius Troublemaker, Ah! Shenma, Dream Must Kill Fist, etc., but unfortunately they were not reprinted later. The next period is from 1995 to 1997, when girls’ comics flourished here. I often couldn’t see the comics I was interested in for a month or two, but it was during this period that I first saw pirated comics translated from Hong Kong and Taiwan. , some of which were pirated copies of the original books, but most of the books adopted the "enlargement method", that is, the original book was two volumes but was split into three volumes for sale. This method later became known as Carry forward, we can often see similar books. This method is of course not good for readers, and it also causes many people to misremember the volume of the original book. It can be said to be harmful but has one benefit. Who is benefiting, JS!! JS can do anything to make more money. But there is no way. The actual situation in China leaves us with no choice but to watch or not. In fact, this situation has not changed until now.

The more influential comics of this period include: Arrival of the Holy Son, Ear of the Yellow Dragon, Ghost Boy, Midnight Eye, Magical World, Teacher Hell, Wolf Wolf, Demon Cupid, Slam Dunk Boy, X (drawn by Nori Inoue) , Taiyo Shinigami, Rurouni Kenshin, Parasite Beast, GS Beauty (Ultimate Battle), Doraemon's Adventures, Demon World Academy, Scoundrel Bruce (Way of the Iron Fist)... Here are a few more books: The Ear of the Yellow Dragon, Inoue Ji Liang's masterpiece. Unfortunately, although the first edition was well printed, the original appearance of the book could not be seen due to too many deletions. Although subsequent reprints did not have the deletions, the printing was too poor; the same problem with X; Feng Liu "Mean Dog" is the first work of Yamaguchi Joeji that I have watched, and it is an early work, but his extremely exaggerated comedy style left a deep impression on me. I recommend everyone to take a look at his work; "Fantasy Century" , drawn by Itabashi Hidetoshi, with a unique style of painting and a wonderful story; Funny Demon Baby: Togashi Chinatsu Drawing, as the title suggests, a very interesting comic with babies as the theme; Love Songs like this: Kitazaki Takuga Drawing, plain but with hints of waves love comics. Okay, the following is from 1997-98. In the past year or so, comic piracy has reached another peak. The relatively good comics of this period include: Hana no Keiji, The Godfather of Underwear, I'S, New Kung Fu Tornado, Little Witch of Cupid, The Jungle Boy, The Extraordinary Family, Detective Conan, The Witcher Lady, Sanctuary (The Godfather of the Temple), Sakura Communications, Live Line, Precinct 34, Movie Guerrilla, Innocent Girl, Hurt Chaser, Romantic Love Story, Crying God of Death, My Girlfriend, Sensing Boy EIJI... In addition to these, I also ask everyone to pay attention to the following These comics are: Male to Female Transformation, Shomaru, Shouta's Sushi, Computer Lover's Dream, Small Human, Holy Book of Evil Girls, Decathlon, Messenger of Justice, Rainbow Pepper, Pretty Girl Ghost, Paradise of Desire, Double Star Serial Bubble, Become HEN, Love Hotel, Current Affairs Chase, The Emperor's Son. Among them, Rainbow Pepper was worth mentioning. I easily put this work aside at the time. When Anda Chongre emerged in our area two years later, it was difficult to find it again. Fortunately, it was reprinted later. . There are also Current Affairs Chase and Love Hotel. The former is a relatively biased subject, but Oshima Yasuichi handles it very well, while the latter is a romance manga that I personally admire. Maybe it has similarities with my experience. . During this period, works by people like Ikegami Ryōichi, Yugito, Kunitomo Yasuji, Inoue Norira and even Okamura Kenji were published in large numbers. What followed was a very interesting phenomenon, the emergence of impostors. JS discovers whose things are easy to sell, such as those of tourists. Well, regardless of whether these books were drawn by him or not, the author's name will always be replaced by "Traveler". In fact, real comics fans can tell the authenticity at a glance. What’s interesting is that the works of Toshio Maeda and Samurai Wulin used other people’s names at first, but later they found out that they were selling well, so they returned to their original names, and even used the names of these two people to make them. Shop sign. According to my statistics, the names of Katsura Masakazu, Hojo Tsukasa, Yugito, CLAMP, Inoue Noriyo, and Kurumada Masami are the ones that are used the most. Later, the situation of imposters went further, and fakes began to appear, such as Silent Fighter-Xiang and Dragon Ball. From 1998 to 1999, the comics industry in my area was severely hit, and booksellers were afraid to buy any more books. I lived through a dark period. There were very few new comics during this period, and those that appeared in large numbers were basically reprints. During this time, comic magazines similar to Huawang appeared again. GTO, Vagabond, and H2 also appeared during this period. The landmark event of this period was the emergence of small comic books (pocket books), which later replaced large comic books and became the mainstream of pirated comics. Some of the better comics include: Rough (I Love Neighbors), Drifting Classroom, Heaven and Earth, New Version of Kindaichi, Ito Junji’s Horror Comic Selection, and Human Weapon. Let’s talk about the works of Junji Ito and Kazuo Kazuo. I first read Ito’s works when I downloaded a few selected ones from Taiwan’s comics website. I only read them completely later. I can only use his imagination. I can only describe it with two words: admiration. Later I watched a few movies based on his comics, but I didn’t feel as deeply shocked as the comics. I didn't notice Kazuo's work at the beginning. A friend recommended it to me, so I took a closer look at Drifting Classroom and The Left Hand of God and The Right Hand of Devil. I especially admired Kazuo's work and found Kazuo's Control. His long-form ability is better than that of Ito. From 1999 to July 2002, I was away from home during this period and got rid of the nightmare. However, the book distribution industry in the local area was also severely hit in the later period. No booksellers dared to enter comics anymore, and several bookstores I often visited were closed one after another. Fortunately, I still had the Internet as a way to go. However, many comics that were deleted in the past have been reprinted, allowing us to get a glimpse of their original appearance, such as Maurya: The Legend of Demon Exorcism, Yasha Crow, Husband, and Angel. However, there are still many reprints of books with abridgements, such as several works by auction houses and tourists.

Some of the better comics during this period include: Singles’ Dormitory Serial, Dual Personality Detective, ONE PIECE (One Piece, Pirate Luffy), God’s Left Hand·Devil’s Right Hand, Stealing Wire, Shonan Pure Love Group, Section Chief Shima Kosaku, Shinjuku Little The Man, Centaur Banner, Devil Brothers, Mitsuru Adachi's Short Stories, Oolong Police Station, Meiryo Emperor Wutong Sejuro, Soul of Chess, Sky Gate, There's a Mean Dog in the Family, The Shining (The Shining Duo), Super Ability Misora, Ghost Eye KYO, Black Cat, Naruto, Innocent Tenant Qiao Landlady, Uzumaki, Angel Heart, All Things Shining, Youth Crossing, Detective Academy Q, Sunshine, Monster, New Kung Fu Tornado L, Ace Supreme, home, lucky star from heaven, chocolate. I especially recommend you to read the works of Eisaku Kubotouchi and Ozero, both of whom are very thoughtful cartoonists. I recommend another work: Ace Supreme. This is the first realistic political cartoon I've seen. I have seen a few political cartoons before, but they were more idealistic than realistic, such as Sanctuary. Although Ace Supreme seems childish in some places, it is still a good and thought-provoking work. I also saw an interesting phenomenon. JS actually used some Korean comics with immature drawing skills, which can be said to be still in the imitation stage, to pass them off as Japanese comics and sell them. This is really trying to sell dogs over others. In fact, you only need to look at the Korean characters inside to know. It's true or false. Let’s talk about one more issue: translation. Nowadays, when choosing JS books, they usually choose the Hong Kong version or the Taiwan version. Because it has been translated, there is no need to hire a translator, which saves money. However, for those comics that are still serialized in Japan, JS still has to spend some money. But a shooter is a shooter after all, so the quality of the translation cannot be complimented. This is why when we read some comics, we find that the translation is good at the beginning but messed up later. From August 2002 to now, I have re-read many old comics, and the materials are also being sorted out. Comics worth mentioning during this period include: EX Shōnen Drift, 20th Century Boy, Humanoid Computer Angel Heart, Puberty Girl, Crazy Horses, Cyborg Boy, Doomsday, Iwamaru Animal Clinic, Ronin Swordsman, Legend of Victory Master, 100% Strawberry, Underwear Master, Unmarried Relationship, Fish, King of Swing, Prince of Tennis. During this period, a new type of pirated comic book appeared - the reduced version (4in1), which reduced the contents of four to nine comics into a large 32-karat book, with four pages printed on one page. The historical mission of pocket books has also come to an end. Large comic books also appeared, but this time they were not small or reduced editions. However, the publisher is the same as the reduced copy, and the name of the distant publishing house is on it. When reading the new Kung Fu Tornado: Judo chapter, I found it very interesting to see that the author compiled a summary of how a sensitive scene he drew was altered when it was published in various countries and regions. Although Japan has many restrictions on film and television, for example, some things cannot be shown in movies, it has relatively few restrictions on animation. Creators can express their ideas arbitrarily, but some things that are acceptable in their own country are It may not be accepted elsewhere. Recently, I have read a lot of "weird" comics from Japan. They call them weird because their expression techniques may only be accepted by some Japanese people, and it is impossible to introduce them from other places. Finally, let me tell you something about this article. Since I posted this article, it has received a lot of responses, so I will revise and supplement it based on the feedback from all parties. Not all of the comics listed above are my favorites, such as: Fuxing Boy, Kuai Nan Juku, and Paradise Battle. But because of their influence, they are included in the article. There are also some comics, such as The Magic Fiddler and The Fireman's Story, which I haven't finished reading intermittently, so I can't list them here. The comics in this article mainly appear in the form of books, but due to practical reasons, I believe that a considerable number of comics first appeared on the Internet. It is currently impossible to have your cake and eat it too. The reality is that it is impossible for us to have a "Toritsu", let alone Shueisha and Shogakukan. I have seen a lot of articles about BL comics on the Internet, but not about H comics. Maybe I should write something about this when I have time. Finally, let’s talk about the translation issue. Usually, the names of pirated comics published in mainland China generally use the Hong Kong or Taiwanese translations. Only in the early stages, they have their own translations. However, JS sometimes "changes" the names of comics. This is why a comic has two or even more names. The names of the comics I listed in the article generally use more influential names. Okay, that’s all. lylzg would like to thank everyone again for your encouragement. Thank you. Note 1: In fact, I have always been skeptical about the translation by Hainan Photography and Painting King, because at least one of the Hainan versions of Saint Seiya has traditional Chinese characters typesetting. This is definitely not a matter of the translator's habits. I suspect it is an omission or carelessness in his "translation". Although most of Saint Seiya is based on the Japanese version, the original text is daubed and "translated". Note 2: When communicating with Taiwanese comic friends, I found that situations like the painting king also occur in Taiwan. Most of the early Japanese comics in Taiwan were also pirated. Note 3: The main reason why King of Painting ceased publication was the country’s rectification of the cultural market at that time, which led to the closure of Hainan Publishing House and the suspension of publication of King of Painting. Note 4: The Mystery of Dragon, also known as: New Dragon Ball, Dragon Knight, The Great Adventure of Dou Pu, The Mystery of the Dragon, Looking for the Flying Dragon King, The Great Adventure of Tai Er, and Dragon Quest (not the one drawn by Kamui Fujiwara).

Note 5: My views on Hojo Tsukasa come from a collection of his short stories. In this book called Hojo Tsukasa's Manga Selection (Summer Love, That Summer Was Very Flute), there is a chapter describing Japan during World War II. It felt like a ghost to me, as if the war was not theirs. 's fault. I have been reading Japanese comics for a long time, but when I see this type of book, I feel angry. This is why I get angry when someone says that Kuei Nan Jhu's paintings are good. In comparison, one of the reasons why I like Kung Fu Whirlwind is that it reflects on war, which is extremely rare in Japanese comics.
