Really self-promotion! Japanese cartoonists are forced to create their own comic promotional films

Japanese cartoonist Narita Imomu recently showed off his "career change" work. He actually made a promotional video for his comic "KILLING ME KILLING YOU" by himself. The high quality of the video caused fans to marvel at it, and they asked, aren't cartoonists very busy?

"KILLING ME KILLING YOU" is a youth manga serialized by the manga author Narita Imomushi. It tells the story of two immortals, but it has no popularity and its sales have been extremely poor. Narita Imomushi revealed that he was warned by the serialization editorial department in December last year that if the single volume does not sell 1,000 copies, the originally agreed plan to publish 5 volumes will be cancelled.

In desperation and pain, Narita Imu decided to make a promotional video for his comic himself. Except for hiring professionals for voice acting and music, he completed the rest of the animation, CG, directing, background and editing work all by himself. The high quality of the video sparked heated discussions among netizens, who wished that the comic could survive.

Some netizens also recalled that Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, which had always had mediocre sales, became a huge hit after it was fortunately made into an animation. It seems that in the extremely competitive anime industry in Japan, it is very important for "manga" to really "sound like a voice".
