Jump is definitely the No. 1 magazine in Japan, and its circulation is so large that even though it has dropped a lot, it still firmly occupies the top spot.

Determine the new serial, and also hold a special press conference, this mode itself, only well-known cartoonists can.

The combination of Kigo and Ken Obata is indeed enough.

However, the so-called high standard is only looking for more media.

The release of the comic "Dragon Sakura", of course, is mainly in terms of character design, and there are some brief introductions.

Under the pen of Ken Kohata, every character in "Dragon Sakura" is lifelike.

Especially several protagonists.

Different from the focus of Higashino Qiang, these media reporters, this long gun and short cannon at Lawyer Sakuragi is a click and a click.

Higashino Qiang, as a ghost teacher, has a very strange face under the helmet.

What are these guys doing?

Wait for the interactive session...

"Mr. Kigo, can you tell us in advance if Lawyer Sakuragi will die?"

"yes, Mr. Kigo, we all want to know. ”

"Lawyer Sakuragi is the only strong and alive male protagonist in the teacher's pen now, and the teacher won't use a pen to make a knife anymore, right?"

"Teacher, please make a guarantee! Lawyer Sakuragi, he's a good man. ”

These questions are too real.

"Haha......" Mr. Kohata couldn't help but laugh.

Ghost go is Higashino Qiang, how can he answer?

I saw that Kamen Rider V3 had one hand on his cheek and didn't say a word.

Is this depressed?

Seeing this, the reporters were very good at seizing the moment and snapping non-stop.

No way, you can't spoil it directly, right?

Higashino can only express his direct feelings with this.

You guys, just guess.

The next day, this image of Mr. Kigo was widely reported.

Book lovers couldn't help but smile when they saw Mr. Onigo like this.

There are also many people who comment on the Internet, or make some KUSO for this picture.

Anyway, this conference became a very happy thing.

Of course, everyone is really concerned about the fate of lawyer Sakuragi.

Even.

"Kigo-sensei, you don't write Lawyer Sakuragi very miserable, do you?" Kentaro Yabuki couldn't help but ask.

So, what's the answer?

"No comment. ”

Higashino Qiang said in his heart, if Mr. Ken Obata came to ask, maybe I would say it.

It's a pity that Mr. Kobata just smiled at this, and the rest was to focus on painting.

This person is indeed too easily obsessed with paintings.

Either way, a special press conference was very lighthearted and enjoyable.

But then, it wasn't so easy.

"Jump" is a magazine that is particularly bad, but it is also the principle that has made this magazine prosperous.

Questionnaire supremacy!

The so-called questionnaire is reader feedback.

Inside the magazine there will be a questionnaire page with detailed questions, but they are also very straightforward.

For example, which character in which work you like, and what direction you want that character to go in.

Is this character to be low-key, or hot-blooded, or resourceful, and so on.

The questionnaire represents popularity.

Because of this, there is a quick report and a small positive.

Every serial has to look at this feedback, no matter how well-known the author is, no matter how popular the work is, once the popularity declines, then you can't escape the result of being cut in half.

Interesting things about this questionnaire doctrine.

For example, the story of the editor-in-chief who formulated this principle in the first place, Nobuhiko Horie is interesting.

This editor-in-chief is famous, and it was during his time as editor-in-chief that "Jump" reached its peak.

Of course, that's because of Dragon Ball, and he himself is the editor in charge of Akira Toriyama.

And it was he who forced this comic not to be finished.

Until 1995.

But it is precisely because of this that after the completion of "Dragon Ball" in 1995, the sales of "Jump" fell sharply.

Nobuhiko Horie also stepped down from the position of editor-in-chief.

In the magazine's history so far, the editor-in-chief is the shortest-serving one.

Success is also surveyed by the table, and defeat is also investigated by the table.

However, this principle of the supremacy of questionnaireism has been continued in this way.

In Higashino's opinion, this thing is too stressful!

"Dragon Sakura" was officially serialized on "Jump".

Two weeks later, Ken Obata Studio.

Higashino Qiang turned into a ghost again, and he sat on the sofa, and he could clearly feel the difference in the atmosphere.

Well, it's actually very simple, because no one is working anymore.

They all waited in a state of great worry that could be seen with the naked eye.

Higashino was also infected by this atmosphere.

Now I am waiting for the third issue of Xiaozheng.

Xiao Zheng, which was serialized in the first two issues, was very good.

Target Todai!

Shueisha attached great importance to it, not only holding a press conference, but also giving a frontispiece color page.

Four big characters, with the image of lawyer Sakuragi.

It's really very imposing.

As a result, the popularity of the first issue of "Dragon Sakura" ranked third.

You know, this is the period when "One Piece" and "Hokage" are on fire, and in terms of popularity, it has basically been the first "Pirate" and "Hokage" second for many years.

So, to finish in third place is definitely outstanding.

However, those who know how to do it understand.

The first serialization, as well as the press conference and the blessing of the frontispiece color page, then, the result of the third place is decent.

The second phase also won third place.

Well, the key lies in this third issue.

The results of this issue of the questionnaire are probably the most true.

Higashino Qiang also likes to read comics, but he is definitely a layman who really participates in it.

The quick report and Xiaozheng are very novelties to him.

But in the current situation, even he feels a huge pressure.

But fortunately, Higashino has a hint of self-comfort.

It was third in the previous two weeks, although it couldn't compare to "Pirates" and "Hokage", but it suppressed "Bleach ".

Well, "Bleach " has just been serialized for a short time at this time, and its popularity is not so strong.

This third issue won't be too bad.

But the previous quick report has already come.

5th place!

The pressure exploded in the studio.

Mr. Ken Obata was okay, but when he saw that it was all like this, he simply went to the back room to sleep.

But some people are like ants on a hot pan.

Walking around, walking around, right in front of the eyes of Onigo-sensei.

"Kentaro, what's wrong with you?"

"Teacher, I, I...... Haha......"

Kentaro Yabuki scratched his head, he was really under too much pressure.

Higashino Qiang saw it clearly, and simply motioned for him to sit down, "Kentaro, do you care so much about "Dragon Sakura"?"

Kentaro Yabuki sat down and said with some embarrassment, "This...... Teachers should know. ”

That's right, Higashino Qiang is also a ghost, of course he knows.

The work "Black Cat" has now been released as a single book.,Under normal circumstances,Kentaro Yabuki can go out and be independent.,But there's still none.。

No way, the popularity of the last few issues is not high, and many people even wrote to scold.

Ignorant Kentaro Yabuki.

That's the latest nickname given to him by Jump readers.

In this way, his pressure can be imagined.

"Rest easy. Higashino is so enlightened.

"The teacher is right, I'm still too young. Yabuki Kenitaro scratched his head again.

This young ...... It really made Higashino Qiang in the helmet blush a little.

The old brother in front of him is Yabuki, but he was born in 80, and he is only 84 years old, which is several years old.

But now I'm a ghost teacher.

"Believe in yourself, you must be fine. What you are experiencing now is just a stumbling block on the road to the strong. ”

Just pour some chicken soup indiscriminately.

Kentaro Yabuki chatted with Mr. Kigo for a few words, and felt that this Mr. Kigo was a good person, so he looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Teacher, actually, Mr. Obata is also under a lot of pressure. ”

"Oh?

"Teacher, you don't know, the current popularity of "Chess Soul" is also declining, alas, it's a pity, this is a very strong work. ”

Kentaro Yabuki's tone was full of helplessness.

Higashino Qiang also knows a little about this.

"Chess Soul" was originally a very good comic, but in the end, it was anticlimactic.

The reason for this is that Ken Obata is not good at plots, and the plot of this manga is in charge of Yumi Hotta.

Yumi Hotta, who is very talented in Go, is also famous because of this "Chess Soul".

But it's a pity that she is not a professional playwright or a family, and her control of the plot is slightly inferior.

In this matter, Higashino Qiang can't help at all, he really doesn't understand Go.

However, after hearing Yabuki's information, it seems that it can be concluded that Ken Obata will pour more enthusiasm into "Dragon Sakura".

But at this moment, the phone in the studio rang.

"It's coming!"

This is a landline, and the number displayed indicates the arrival of Xiaozheng.

"Really?" Ken Ohata, who said he was sleeping earlier, also came out of the back room.

This scene...... Everyone knows it.

Higashino wanted to laugh, but he was also abrupt in his heart now.

"This ......" Kentaro Yabuki had already stood up, completely unconsciously.

Everyone else in the studio also turned their eyes to it.

People didn't even dare to speak.

Some people roll in their throats and salivate in their throats.

Higashino Qiang really has never had such an experience, and the current situation is like being in the courtroom, waiting for the verdict to be announced.

But I saw Ken Obata pick up the phone.

"Hmm. ”

"Hmm. ”

"I see. ”

Is it finally coming out?

Until he hung up.

"Third place!"

This must be referring to "Dragon Sakura".

"Hahaha......"

"Great!"

"Saigao!"

In an instant, it was like a classical-style popcorn, and the pressure of a full studio was instantly released.

Everyone cheered, this "Dragon Sakura" was slightly stable.

As for Mr. Uigo.

It's really nice to have a helmet.

No one knows, sitting on the sofa, unfazed, without any words.

My head was full of sweat, as if I had experienced a fierce battle of intestines...

PS: The second more is sent, please don't worry, I will continue to code the black car, and continue to go all out today!
