May 1, 1993, this day seems very ordinary for many people. It's just an ordinary labor day.

But for those who pay attention to the secondary culture, this day has extraordinary significance in future generations,

On this day, Pokemon officially went on sale in Fusang. Of course, 45 different Nintendo games, including GB and FC, were sold together.

On the other hand, six novels appeared in bookstores all over Fusang. Coincidentally, game cards, as cultural products, are also sold in bookstores.

In this era, half of the bookstore is always used to sell books, and the other half is used to sell game CDs, Song MV, film and video tapes, as well as host game cards.

In this era, bookstores are a paradise for all secondary lovers.

On May 1, different products of the same company gathered in Fusang's bookstore at the same time.

On this day, there are two kinds of goods in the most prominent position of the bookstore. One is the new GB version of final fantasy 5, and the other is a novel stacked together to form a magical sword.

As early as when the bookstore opened, many players had lined up at the door of the bookstore.

This is not unusual for people nearby. The 1st of each month is the time when Nintendo releases new games of the month. Naturally, many game lovers will come to buy their favorite games.

In fact, when a top game such as Super Mario or Tetris sells new products, players lining up to buy cassettes at the door of the bookstore can discharge hundreds of meters at a time, just like the people lining up to buy elves.

However, today's popularity is obviously worse. Even on the first day of sale, there are only a dozen or twenty players lining up at the door of a bookstore.

"It seems that there is no big work this month!" the bookstore owner sighed when he looked at this scene.

Although the final fantasy series is a little famous, it is still a certain distance from the real big work. In addition, it is not a new work of FC. It is just a work of fried cold rice. It is quite good to have more than ten or twenty people queue up to buy it.

"Boss, I'll buy a copy of final fantasy 5, GB version!" in the first place was a young man in his 20s who came to the queue at 5:00 in the morning, his face red with cold.

"Here you are!" the boss handed a copy of "final fantasy 5" to the young man. Then he picked up a book at hand and introduced it to the young man. "It seems that this novel is about how to play games. Are you interested in reading it?"

"Novel on how to play games?" young people have played games for more than 10 years, but they have never heard of a novel on how to play games.

So the young man took a curious look at the title of the book, which was called the sword God domain.

That's a funny name!

"Boss, how much is this book?" the young man asked curiously.

"Tax included, 499 yen a copy!" the boss laughed.

"Very cheap!" the young man was surprised. Any novel in Fusang cost more than 1000 yen, and the price of this novel was half as cheap.

"Will the printing quality of this book be very bad?" after discovering that the price is so cheap, the young people can't help but doubt the quality of the novel.

He looked at the cover of the book and was shocked again.

Because what is painted on the cover is actually two animation characters, a man and a woman, respectively wearing clean swordsman clothes.

The boy dressed in black, presided over a black sword and made a blocking action.

The girl is wearing a white armor, holding the same white sword, with a charming face.

"How beautiful!" seeing the anime girl, the real teenager couldn't help breathing and the game was in a hurry.

"Is this a comic book?" the boy asked the boss involuntarily.

"No, it's a novel. Just open it and see!" the boss said quickly. The boy quickly turned a few pages and found that it was all text.

This is very surprising. You know, the cover of Fusang's novel is either a simple text without any pattern.

Or some traditional Japanese art in ukiyo style.

Or, a picture of the shameless writer himself.

Anyway, the novel with the cartoon character picture as the cover is definitely unprecedented for teenagers.

You know, the reason why young people don't like reading novels these days is that the stories in novels are too boring, and they often like to tell some great truths and tragedies to shake people's hearts.

Everyone is so depressed these days. Who wants to see tragedy to torture himself.

Therefore, seeing the traditional novel covers, most young people lose 99% of their interest, and then put these novels on the shelf.

As the saying goes, when young people see the cover, it's actually a pair of animation boys and girls, and this enthusiasm jumps up in an instant.

More importantly, this pair of young girls also painted quite well, and the exquisite degree of the characters was unprecedented. In particular, the pair of white boots on the female master's legs actually painted a feeling of white silk x socks, which made the boy in his 20s react a little too much.

These days, the silk x socks of animation characters have not been explored by the majority of painters for more than ten years. They have developed different coloring, color gradient, thick coating, natural feeling, light and shadow feeling, flesh feeling, golden ratio, two-point perspective, three-point perspective and other skills. People just paint them black or white.

Just, when the boy saw the silk x socks with a trace of light in the white, the boy couldn't stand it directly, and the small tent was even ready to move.

Cough, of course, such a beautiful illustration is the masterpiece of our boss Jia. He doesn't want the world's Asina to be completely different in the hands of other painters, so the design of all six novels was completed by our boss Jia alone.

All the most important color pictures were drawn by boss Jia after ten days of careful carving.

This makes a few people who know the inside story fall in love with boss Jia's admiration.

The boy who saw the cover picture of yasna was more directly shocked. He immediately grabbed the book and said without hesitation, "boss, I bought this book."

"OK!" the boss took the money, smiled and said, "young man, there are five similar novels here. You can have a look!"

"There are five more!" the boy was surprised. Then he looked down and saw another five different novels.

The cover styles of these novels are very consistent. They are all covers composed of different animation characters and scenes, but when they are magical, each character looks like he has different feelings in it.

Seeing these characters, teenagers seem to see different characters.

The most important thing is that these covers are all full of color and gas. There's no way. Boss Jia really knows what teenagers will like. The color pictures from 30 years later, even if the clothes are tight, there is a temptation that anyone can't refuse.

"These paintings are really perfect!" the boy sighed involuntarily.

"Son, buy some more!"

"No, I'm going home!" the boy went home with the novel and ran for his life.

God, if he doesn't go home, he thinks he will take all the money for instant noodles to buy these novels.

As for the Pokemon also sold in bookstores

no one shows any interest in.
