Chapter 170 An An-style "The Summer Solstice Has Not Come"

In fact, just like An Yi doesn’t like Jin Yong Gu Long’s works, she doesn’t like Guo Xiaosi’s “Summer Solar Not Arrived”, but it is undeniable that the commercial success of this work is.

"Flowers and Dreams" is a girl's comic, and the works in them are usually made of girls. Most of its readers are teenage girls. Guo Xiaosi's works are well-known and obvious to girls of this age, especially when An Yi's comics can completely restore the "bright sadness" flavor in his works.

If it weren't for her to significantly increase the sales of "Flowers and Dreams", how could she directly choose this kind of youth literary work that is very popular among girls? She actually prefers the faint charm of "Five Centimeters in seconds". Unfortunately, the protagonist of this work is the male lead, and "Clannad" is also the male lead. So although these two works are also "healing", they are not suitable for the girl's comic magazine "Flowers and Dreams".

After she really increased the sales of "Flowers and Dreams" and she also became the "Supreme God" in the girl comics industry, she can of course draw her favorite works as she likes as she pleases, such as "Unknown Flower Name", "White Album 2", "April is Your Lie", "Listen to Daddy", "Pet Girl in Sakura Village", etc., but these works are narrated from a male perspective.

An Yi was painting "The Summer Solstice Not Arrived" at this time. The perspective of the narrative story is female characters, whose name is Lixia, a simple, kind and clean girl, which is very suitable for young readers to substitute.

It tells the story of love and growth with Lixia and Fu Xiaosi as the protagonist for a span of 10 years.

The story begins with a fictional city, Asakusa, a city covered with tall camphor in the north. A few young people began their high school life, and everything seemed to be extra calm and slow, with the sleepy narrative emotions unique to summer, as if the summer afternoon was as strong as the sunshine splashed ink.

Lixia was admitted to Asakawa No. 1 Middle School with excellent grades and his good friend Cheng Qiqi. On the first day of school, Lixia met Fu Xiaosi and Lu Zhiang, who were admitted as an art student but had excellent grades.

Gradually, they became familiar with each other, and Fu Xiaosi even taught Lixia to paint. However, at the campus art festival, Lixia, who was on stage to perform live painting, found that Fu Xiaosi was the painter he liked for a long time.

A transfer student named Yu Jian became Lixia's deskmate. When she met a girl who seemed rebellious but was actually a kind and lonely person, she became good friends with Lixia.

The first year of high school came to an end, and during the holidays, Lu Zhiang's mother passed away. The death of his mother had a great impact on Lu Zhiang, and even changed the trajectory of Lu Zhiang's life. Lu Zhiang, who had planned to accompany Fu Xiaosi, filled out the opposite choice from Fu Xiaosi on the liberal arts and science volunteer form - because his mother hoped that Lu Zhiang would become an excellent accountant.

In the next two years, there were chaos.

Lu Zhiang no longer likes laughing and making trouble like in the past, and becomes silent.

When I met Asakawa, I left her beloved boyfriend Qingtian. I went to Beijing to realize her dream of being a singer. In my senior year of high school, Fu Xiaosi won the Tinchuan Art Award, and for a moment, she shone brightly.

A college entrance examination has come to an end for the three years of high school.

In fact, the high school part in "The Summer Solstice" is still very warm. It allows readers to relive their youth, and those young readers will also think it is very good-looking, because the heroine Lixia is very happy. She is loved by Lu Zhiang and deeply loved by Fu Xiaosi. These two male characters are of course two handsome male characters in the comics.

The male protagonist Fu Xiaosi is low-key, silent, clean, kind, and loves his mother very much. He has a heavy fog that never dissipates all year round. He is a little autistic and always loves to live in his own world. Lu Zhiang once said that he has his own world and no one else can understand his language. He is the first in the school and is the champion of the third grade of the Jinchuan Art Competition. He studied at the Central Academy of Fine Arts and later became the best young painter.

Lu Zhiang is cheerful and generous, and likes to laugh out loud with his teeth. He likes beautiful girls, kind and straightforward, like the bright sunshine of autumn. He is mature and steady, smiling at everyone, knows how to take care of others, and is worthy of dependence.

This one is a talented artist, and the other is a warm man who is good at caring for people. They all revolve around the beginning of summer. Can this prevent those young readers from falling in love with this comic full of youthful literary atmosphere?

In fact, this is also a routine. The protagonist of the girl comics is not about turning around, but there are many male supporting roles who revolve around her, so it is certain that they are jealous of her. "The Summer Solstice is Not Arriving" is quite restrained, and Lu Zhiang actually has a strong relationship with Fu Xiaosi, and I think it will attract those fujoshi readers.

Lu Zhiang's words were all said to Fu Xiaosi—

Xiao Si never said anything, those times with you, those days wearing white shirts, those days lying on the lawn and looking at the sky, those days when we smile heartlessly, because with you, it is all like the days of heaven.

Xiao Si, there was a scene that appeared countless times in my dream: we stood under the camphor tree, raised our heads and drank the coke in our hands in big mouthfuls, and our Adam's apple kept flipping up and down.

Xiaosi, if you have a choice, I would rather you have always been the simple child who only knew how to draw and learn, and always be the child who rushed forward. You shouldn't be humble to others, and you will not allow others to insult and sarcasm. In my heart, you have always been like a little prince living in a happy heaven, and all the dirty things have nothing to do with you.

...

If readers don’t know that Fu Xiaosi and Lu Zhiang are both male characters, they will definitely think that these two characters are a couple who are deeply in love.

Guo Xiaosi is worthy of being a young literary writer full of girlish hearts. His works can always touch the hearts of those young readers.

And An Yi can express some of his very beautiful and literary sentences in the same beautiful and dreamy picture, such as in the text, such as "You splashed ink into the incomplete words in the corners of the wall, and then rendered a summer without ups and downs", "How many unmeasurable years have time taken away, so when you look back, the fog almost blocks the sky", "Although the sky is haze, it will still be blue in the end, and the clouds will still come and go happily. The years will eventually turn into gorgeous swallowtail butterflies, sprinkling dazzling phosphorus powder in the world." and so on.

In this way, this makes the style of such a girl comic that seems a bit cliché or "kingdom" suddenly soar, full of An'an style!

It is conceivable that when this work is still full of unique charm and literary atmosphere of An An style, but is a work of a kingly girl comic. After it is published in "Flowers and Dreams", it will inevitably capture the hearts of countless young readers of fifteen or sixteen years old!

Guo Xiaosi's works seem to be "turned into magic" by comics adapted by An Yi!
