Chapter 281: Readers beg the publisher for reprints, Ye Xuan is going to make a fortune!

Almost everyone who walked into a bookstore walked out with a copy of *Slam Dunk* in their arms.

Accompanied by excited discussions surrounding *Slam Dunk*.

"Holy crap, holy crap! Is this really a Chinese manga? I can't believe it!"

"Oh my god, Rukawa Kaede is really too handsome!"

"Thinking of Sakuragi Hanamichi knowing that the man he called a gorilla is actually Haruko's brother, that little expression is just hilarious!"

"Everything starts with practicing basic skills; I'm already looking forward to the follow-up of *Slam Dunk*!"

Through word of mouth, more and more people became curious about this *Slam Dunk*.

Is a Chinese manga really this excellent?!

Once this question was thrown out, everyone who had read it once nodded without hesitation.

If *Slam Dunk* couldn't be called excellent, then the reader must be blind!

Boys who liked competitive sports and had a natural interest in basketball were already discussing the plot of *Slam Dunk* heatedly.

"Basketball idiot Sakuragi Hanamichi, this kid looks like a basketball talent!"

"Too immersive! I also joined a tea ceremony club I knew nothing about just to chase my wife!"

"Holy crap! That works?! Brother, I've learned, I've learned! I'll join the music club next semester! Who told that place to have so many girls?"

"Damn! Your operation upstairs is a bit showy; others watch ball, you're going to learn dating tips?"

Among them, the delicate realistic style and the impact of being like real people made many boys treat Akagi Haruko as the perfect first love object.

"I like Akagi Haruko so much; she's my first love!"

"The energetic goddess Inoue Ayako is also not bad, although I also like Haruko!"

Just as countless boys were unable to extricate themselves from this sports-style manga, many girls also developed a strong interest in *Slam Dunk*.

A series of realistic characters who were both masculine and hormonal appeared, which attracted the attention of countless girls in minutes.

Every page was a big handsome guy!

And they were all kinds of handsome guys with different appearances and charms!

Seeing Rukawa Kaede appear, many girls had starry eyes.

Some girls even took their boyfriends to the barbershop on the spot, demanding a haircut exactly like Rukawa Kaede's.

And this girl's boyfriend stared at the manga for a long time before finally saying resentfully.

"Have you considered a possibility? This hairstyle looks good because it's on Rukawa Kaede's face; if you change it to your boyfriend's face... you savor it..."

Once this was said, the girl immediately pulled her boyfriend away with a dark face.

After all, the picture was too beautiful; just thinking about it was enough.

If it became reality, that would be just too much!

Not only that, many girls developed an interest in playing basketball because of this manga, *Slam Dunk*.

For a time, the probability of female compatriots appearing on major basketball courts increased quite a bit.

Making countless boys playing games on the court secretly give themselves a thumbs up.

It must be because they were playing too well that they attracted so many girls!

The popularity of *Slam Dunk* had swept through countless corners of the streets and alleys.

For a time, it seemed that discussions about *Slam Dunk* could be heard everywhere.

And this popularity had long spread to the internet, and the number of tags related to *Slam Dunk* was rising rapidly.

Even on the Weibo square, one could see the latest news about *Slam Dunk* appearing every time it refreshed.

Driven by this popularity, the *Slam Dunk* super-topic came into being.

Along with the Rukawa Kaede super-topic, Sakuragi Hanamichi super-topic, Akagi Haruko super-topic, and a series of sub-super-topics were also established rapidly.

Countless manga fans were happily rolling and running in circles in their own super-topics, one by one excited.

"Spread the word! Chinese manga has stood up; I have never seen such an excellent manga!"

"I don't know if anyone likes the captain inside?! I publicly announce that he is my dream lover!"

"Get lost! I'm not even fighting with you for Rukawa Kaede, and you actually want to fight with me for the captain?!"

"The first place in competitive manga in my mind used to be Japan's *Soccer Fire*, but now I want to publicly announce that *Slam Dunk* is the GOAT!"

Just as the popularity of *Slam Dunk* was getting higher and higher, corresponding entries also climbed onto the hot search list.

【I don't allow anyone to not know *Slam Dunk*】

【Chinese manga has risen, hurry and watch *Slam Dunk*】

【*Slam Dunk* Sakuragi Hanamichi】

【*Slam Dunk* Rukawa Kaede】

However, while a crowd of netizens were discussing *Slam Dunk*, some were happy and some were worried.

Driven by the first wave of readers promoting *Slam Dunk*, wave after wave of readers also poured into bookstores.

However, the quantity sent by Manyou publisher to each bookstore was not large.

This led to countless readers who came for *Slam Dunk* running empty-handed.

A wave of crying and wailing spread across the Weibo square.

"Can that damn Manyou publisher print a bit more?! I've already run to five bookstores and they're all sold out! 【Crying】"

"I'm already furious; my cousin has one, my cousin has one, my cousin has one, but I don't! Because of one *Slam Dunk*, I was actually isolated! 【Big crack】"

"I wish I could soul-travel into a librarian; I saw a librarian keep five copies for himself, and I immediately shed tears of envy, jealousy, and hatred 【Crying】"

"Buying one at triple the price! Ah no, five times the price is fine too!"

And at this moment, Editor-in-Chief Wang's phone at Manyou publisher had been blown up.

"What?! Sold out again?"

"Hope *Slam Dunk* is reprinted?! Wait for my news!"

"Ordering *Slam Dunk* again?!"

After hanging up one call after another, Editor-in-Chief Wang felt both sour and regretful.

Sour about what?!

Many of the calls just now were from bookstores he had never cooperated with before.

In the past, he had bitterly called and begged the other party to see if they could put Manyou publisher's manga in major bookstores.

The answers he got were all uniform refusals.

Now that it was the turn of these big bookstores to beg him to order *Slam Dunk*, Editor-in-Chief Wang felt his heart bubbling with pleasure.

It was just so refreshing.

As for what he regretted?!

Naturally, it was that he hadn't printed enough!

Major manga publishers all had unwritten rules.

That is, when releasing a new work, the circulation is usually between 5,000 and 10,000 copies as a trial.

Out of trust in *Slam Dunk*, Editor-in-Chief Wang printed a full 50,000 copies.

But now he found that these 50,000 copies were just a drizzle!

Can't think about it anymore!

He had to arrange for a reprint immediately!
