The time was pushed a few hours earlier, at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump" editorial office.

The editors-in-chief, who were supposed to be in the office, gathered in the conference room and sat in their respective places.

It's just that at this time, all the editors-in-chief have solemn faces, and they don't have the ease of holding meetings in the past.

After only one day of fermentation, the public opinion of "Bleach " plunged the whole of Japan into an earthquake, and both in reality and on the Internet, the animated version of "Bleach " was being discussed.

"Bastard, this is clearly a conspiracy of the Shogakukan! Do you think that we editors will only review the manuscript and can't see it?"

"But this is a naked conspiracy! The animated version of "Grim Reaper" has just been cut in half, and "Inuyasha", a subsidiary of Shogakukan's "Weekly Shonen Sunday", has announced its animation. Also, Kodansha's "Weekly Shonen Magazine's "Fairy Tail" also took the opportunity to announce the animation, so it seems that this is prepared!"

"Shogakukan is a group of us, so how can it join forces with Kodansha to deal with us?

"If you want to say that Shogakukan and Kodansha are not plotting anything, I will not believe it. ”

"Ayano-chan, what do you think?"

Just before the editor-in-chief, Ryoya Yamazaki, arrived, a middle-aged woman sitting next to Ayano Iida couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Sister Fujii, why aren't you nervous at all!" Iida Ayano heard this, glanced at Ai Fujii next to him, and said curiously.

"What are you nervous about, do you really think that anyone can pull "Grim Reaper" down from the peak? Hmph, this is an animation adapted from a national comic. Look, now the Internet public opinion is on our side, and the TV station will definitely not be able to withstand the pressure. Ai Fujii said confidently, she has worked at Shueisha since the first episode of the "Grim Reaper" serialization, and it can be said that she has seen the rise of "Death" to the peak, and finally to the current situation of mixed reputation.

She feels more deeply than anyone else about "Death" as a veteran employee, and naturally knows what kind of status "Death" has in their generation and the younger generation.

The most important thing is that the public opinion in the past two days has almost been on the side of their "Grim Reaper". It's hard for her to be confident or not.

Hearing this, Iida Ayano bowed slightly, she also knew that the animated version of the cut might be taken back.

However, this is completely spontaneous by fans, and this is public opinion tilting towards them, but if the plot after "Bleach " is still like this, will there still be a large number of fans spontaneously building momentum for their "Bleach ".

The reason why fans are fans is mutual.

They defend you, and naturally they need the next plot of "Bleach to be able to satisfy them". A comic may be able to rely on fans to support it for a while, but it can't last a lifetime.

The plot of "Grim Reaper" is criticized by most fans, and now the public opinion on the Internet is just overdrawing the loyalty of fans.

"I don't think it's possible for the Shogakukan United Kodansha to suppress us. After all, Shogakukan and we are under the same group, and if it is true that the United Kodansha suppresses our Shueisha, then the group will definitely not sit idly by. ”

Ayano Iida only answered Ai Fujii's question at this time. This is inevitable, if the Shogakukan and their Shueisha group are really found out to have joined forces with Kodansha to suppress their Shueisha, then the senior management of the Shogakukan may have provoked the anger of the group's high-level management.

It is okay to maintain healthy competition within a group, which is a good sign. But if you unite with the outside to strike at the inside, no one will like to see this kind of betrayal.

"That's right, it's still Ayano-chan who sees it thoroughly. Hearing this, Ai Fujii seemed to have found a confidant, chatting with Ayano Iida in a whisper.

And Iida Ayano naturally will not be disrespectful to her predecessors.

"Ahem ......" A few minutes later, the door was pushed, and the editor-in-chief Ryo Yamazaki coughed, and the noisy scene was silent in an instant.

Seeing this, Ryo Yamazaki was also smiling, and before he got to the position, he said: "Let me tell you a good news, after two days of hard work by the public relations department, the news of the cut in half of the animated version of "Grim Reaper" has been withdrawn, and you can still see the animated version of "Death" on TV next week. ”

The conference room, which was silent for a while, was in an uproar the next.

"Really?!"

"I'll just say how could 'Bleach be cut in half'!"

"That's right, after all, it's a national-level comic, even if it's criticized, there are countless followers, and the popularity base is there. ”

"Okay, be quiet!" Ryo Yamazaki coughed lightly, came to the first place in the conference room, sat down, and said with a smile: "Don't forget the main thing we have a meeting on Wednesday! If you find any fine manuscripts this week, you will quickly take them out for everyone to take a look at and review them." ”

At this time, the editors-in-chief, who were originally in a slightly irritable mood, were completely dispersed by a good news from Yoshiya Yamazaki.

Hearing this, an editor-in-chief surnamed Ryuzaki who was sitting at the front smiled and took out the comic manuscripts that had already been copied and sent them to the editor-in-chief and the first editor-in-chief one by one, saying, "I found a good manuscript this week." ”

"Black clover?"

"The name isn't very appealing, but the plot is pretty good. When the editor-in-chief of Ryuzaki heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look seriously, and the whole conference room was only filled with the sound of rustling pages.

Nearly ten minutes later, everyone finished reading.

After reading a sentence in ten minutes, although it is very slow, this is a comic manuscript recommended by the editor-in-chief after all, and the manuscript that can be taken out by the other party in the regular meeting naturally needs to be carefully reviewed and checked.

"The painting style is exquisite, the storyboard is reasonable, the layout is mature and sophisticated, and the plot is not bad, this should be a new serialization by an old author, right?" said an editor-in-chief with glasses.

"I'm not an old author.,I was a comic assistant before.,I only debuted recently.,I was looking for it.。 The editor-in-chief of Ryuzaki smiled slightly, with a slight smug look in his eyes.

If you can find a manga artist who will make his debut in person, and the other person's skills are very good, it is very likely that it will be serialized in the "Weekly Shonen Jump" manga magazine next week, then this is his achievement.

"Yes!" At this time, the editor-in-chief Ryo Yamazaki also finished reading it, and said with a smile: "Does anyone have any dissenting opinions? If you agree to "Black Clover" to be serialized in the magazine next week, you can vote on it, and if you agree with more than two-thirds of the vote, it will be finalized. If less than half of the votes are in place, the vote will continue at Friday's meeting!"

"The plot is reasonable, and there are not too many loopholes. Agreed!"

"Although the style of painting does not fit the story very well, it is flawed. Agreed!"

"Agree to serialize!"

"Seconded!"

A voice of secondment, seeing that it had exceeded two-thirds of the number, the editor-in-chief of Ryuzaki couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The review of the editorial meeting of "Weekly Shonen Jump" is very strict, and I want them to take a look at it, and it is obvious that the quality of this comic manuscript is passable.
