It was precisely because of this desire to try something new.
That's why the latest issue of Weekly Shonen was completely sold out in the first round of sales.
And it wasn't just in Nerima, where Lin Feng and Shizuka were. Throughout Kyoto, the sales of the latest issue of Weekly Shonen were unexpectedly high.
Though not everything was entirely sold out, word-of-mouth was slowly spreading.
Most people had only heard from their friends that a particularly good-looking manga had started serialization in the latest issue of Weekly Shonen.
So, many people, upon getting their hands on the magazine, didn't immediately turn to the works they were usually following.
Instead, they chose to first check out Demon Slayer, the new work that even Yūeisha was strongly promoting.
Lin Feng probably never expected his work to spread in this way, gaining popularity as it went.
The most crucial thing was that readers who started reading Lin Feng's new work out of curiosity found it hard to stop.
The sharp, angular character art, the bizarre setting, and the various novel plot points kept people captivated.
Even though the first chapter wasn't very long.
It ended right after the protagonist, Tanjiro, took his sister Nezuko, who had become a demon, to find the old man Sakonji Urokodaki, as suggested by the Demon Slayer Giyu Tomioka.
However, this short first chapter had already hooked most readers, making them eager to find out more.
They were impatient to know what demons were. Why had only the protagonist's sister, Nezuko, become a demon, while his mother and siblings were dead?
Who had killed Tanjiro's family?
Who was the old man named Sakonji Urokodaki that Giyu Tomioka told Tanjiro to take his sister Nezuko to?
All of this was like a series of mysteries, constantly lingering in the minds of those readers, refusing to dissipate.
Therefore, after reading the first chapter, most readers had a feeling of wanting more.
It was like someone giving you a treasure chest filled with gold coins but not giving you the key to open it.
You could only hold the chest and shake it, listening to the gold coins clinking around inside, but you couldn't open the chest and take out the coins.
It was certainly enjoyable, but not enjoyable enough.
Even though the latest issue of Weekly Shonen had just been released and sold, many people had already started looking forward to the next issue.
For no other reason than their immense anticipation and even excitement for the subsequent story of Demon Slayer.
Under Yūeisha's deliberate promotion, the new manga Demon Slayer quickly entered the public's view.
At the same time, it quickly began to capture hearts.
Although the majority of manga readers in Nihon were young people, such as Gian, Suneo, and Nobita's age group, which was the most avid demographic...
...that didn't mean adults disliked this type of magazine.
On the contrary, a significant proportion of adults in Nihon enjoyed this type of manga.
After all, Nihon's otaku culture wasn't something to be taken lightly, and those adults who enjoyed these types of works often kept their preferences very private.
Some manga could indeed bring to mind certain unsavory things, so most people tried their best to avoid revealing their personal interests.
But at the same time, if this segment of the population happened to like a certain manga, then they would be its most steadfast supporters.
Under the novel setting and interesting story background of Demon Slayer, these groups who love comics have made it a habitual behavior to inform and share with each other.
This is also allowing the popularity of Demon Slayer to further begin to spread.
Perhaps because it's morning now, most people are busy with work and study.
But I believe that soon, this matter will spread like a virus.
Of course, no matter how the outside world spreads and ferments,
Lin Feng, who was sitting in the classroom attending class at this moment, was not very aware of it.
Because Lin Feng knew very well that judging from the popularity of Demon Slayer in his previous life, the results would certainly not be too low, so he never worried about failing.
Now he could only see what surprises Demon Slayer could bring Lin Feng under the intentional promotion and groundwork of Yūeisha.
"By the way, Lin Feng, how did you like the cookies I brought you yesterday?"
During the break between classes, Shizuka was tidying up her notes from the previous lesson. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she turned to Lin Feng and asked.
Because it was already late after dinner yesterday, neither Shizuka nor Miyako Mitsuki stayed at Lin Feng's place for long before going home.
Shizuka actually really wanted to hear an honest assessment of the cookies she had made herself.
"Well, they were very good. Crispy and delicious, and the sweetness was just right. I didn't expect you to be so good at making cookies, Shizuka."
Speaking of this, Lin Feng genuinely praised her.
As everyone knows, Shizuka herself enjoys making cakes or cookies and other similar sweets at home. This is indeed one of her hobbies.
Occasionally, failures are inevitable.
At least the cookies Shizuka brought to Lin Feng yesterday were really delicious.
However, Lin Feng wasn't particularly fond of this kind of dessert.
"Actually, it's not that good, I used to fail all the time..."
Being praised so directly by Lin Feng, Shizuka blushed slightly, looking like an unripe apple.
The day's classes ended quickly.
For those who loved reading manga, perhaps today was a very unusual day.
But for Lin Feng, it was no different from any other day.
On the way home, Lin Feng was still pondering what to eat tonight.
Yesterday, because he had invited Shizuka over for dinner, Lin Feng had been busy in the kitchen for a long time.
Although cooking wasn't that difficult, it was time-consuming and tiring, which made him feel fatigued.
Since it was just Lin Feng eating alone today, he decided to make something simple. He could save the time and energy to draw a few more drafts.
