Kadokawa Bunko, the full name should actually be Kadokawa Sneaker Library. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It is a light novel department founded by Kadokawa Corporation, originally known as the blue version of Kadokawa, but since the open call for the election more than ten years ago, it has been published under the name of Sneaker Bunko.

Over the years, Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko has become one of the largest bunko series in Japan, and is known as the light novel Gosanke along with Dengeki Bunko and Fujimi Bunko.

Today, Kadokawa Bunko is headquartered in Chiba Prefecture and is a magnificent building.

At this time, on the top floor of the building, in the conference room, many editors of Kadokawa Bunko were holding a meeting.

Sitting at the front of the conference room is the current president of Kadokawa Bunko, Shoichi Ayasaki.

The face of the Chinese character, the eyebrows are upright, the figure is long, and the gestures are all with a faint momentum of being a superior.

Ayazaki Shoichi, who has just celebrated his birthday, is thirty-two years old at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, which is the most energetic time in his life.

Matched with abundant energy, Ayazaki Shoichi has great ambitions.

And it is these ambitions that have driven him step by step to where he is now.

Shoichi Ayasaki, who is only thirty-two years old, is now the president of Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko, and is the youngest president of all generations.

Being young is both an advantage and a disadvantage in a Japanese company that pays attention to the salary of employees.

The advantage is that he can manage the Kadokawa Bunko for a longer period of time, and the disadvantage is that he has to take on heavier responsibilities than previous presidents because of his youth.

Since Ayazaki Shoichi received the appointment of Kadokawa head office as the president of the library, rumors abound that he was too young to rule the Kadokawa library.

Although these rumors have not caused any actual negative impact so far, they do make the employees in the library a little impetuous.

Recently, compared to the development of the Dengeki Bunko and Fujimi Bunko, which are also the three Gosanists, the Kadokawa Bunko is slightly inferior.

And this phenomenon has invisibly exacerbated the rumors in the library, making the pressure on Ayazaki Shoichi even worse.

Ayasaki Shoichi knew that if he didn't solve the current problem quickly, he would be dismissed from the head office, and he would have to bear the name of an incompetent president, which would be a devastating blow to his life.

For this reason, he will inform all the editors in the library today to convene this meeting.

Glancing at the scene, seeing that everyone was tense, Ayasaki Shoichi coughed lightly and said, "The meeting begins - accounting, report last week's total sales." ”

The accountant got up, looked at the report prepared in advance, and read:

"There are currently 34 works serialized in the library, and last week one sold more than 5,000, 30 were within 300 to 2,000, and two sold less than 100. A total of 47,000 copies were sold. ”

After listening, Ayasaki pursed her lips, her face slightly gloomy.

In the conference room, many experienced editors-in-chief looked a little embarrassed when they heard this data.

As far as the ordinary library is concerned, it is already very good to be able to serialize more than 30 works at the same time, but this data is still a little insufficient for the Kadokawa Library, which is among the three royal families.

At the very least, there are currently more than 40 works serialized in their publications, whether it is Dengeki Bunko or Fujimi Bunko, which is better than Kadokawa Bunko.

Of course, it is not difficult to improve the number of serialized works.

With the energy of Kadokawa Bunko, if you want to bring out some works, it's actually very simple.

In the data just now, the biggest problem is the sales of works.

Excluding the works that have already ended, the works currently in serialization sold only 47,000 copies last week.

You must know that when Kadokawa Bunko was at its peak, it could easily break 100,000, but now it can't even reach half.

I think that when he took over the Kadokawa Library, Ayazaki Shoichi was still full of confidence, and threatened to lead the library to develop rapidly and beat the other two libraries.

But now, instead of fulfilling his promise, under his management, the situation of Kadokawa Bunko is even worse than it was at the beginning, which makes Ayazaki Shoichi how can he remain calm.

And Ayazaki Shoichi's long silence also made the atmosphere in the conference room much more depressing, and the accountant who stood up to read the report also had a bad expression on his face, and the back of his clothes was soaked with cold sweat.

At this time, Ayazaki Shoichi finally opened his mouth: "It's okay, let's ask the editors to talk about the situation in charge of the work." ”

Immediately, from the front of the conference table, each editor-in-chief got up in turn to explain.

The content of the explanation is actually to briefly mention whether the work can be serialized normally, and whether there is a work that will be completed.

"I'm in charge of a total of four works, all of which are serialized normally. ”

"I'm in charge of three works, two of which are serialized normally, and one is about to enter the finale. ”

...

After listening to a series of explanations, Ayazaki pursed his lips slightly, and did not say much, but changed his words: "Regarding the current situation of Kadokawa Bunko, if you have any opinions, you can put forward." ”

As he spoke, he shifted his gaze slightly, and first looked at the editor-in-chief who was sitting closest to him at the conference table, Hisashi Hirono.

Hisashi Hirono is the oldest of the current editors, having worked for Kadokawa Bunko for fifteen years, and it can be said that he alone has witnessed the entire process of Kadokawa Bunko's decline from the end to the prosperity and then to the current decline.

Matching the qualifications, Hirono Hisashi has an extremely old and spicy vision, but all the works he thinks have potential, in the end, they all become popular.

Among them, the most famous one that he unearthed is the Suzumiya Haruhga series.

Although now the Suzumiya Kasuga series has become a major masterpiece of Kadokawa Bunko.

But in fact, when it was serialized at first, it was not favored by most of the editors in Kadokawa Bunko, thinking that it was impossible for a work like this to become popular.

Only Hisashi Hirono, who was in charge of the Suzumiya Kasuga series at the time, firmly believed that it would definitely become popular, and even at the cost of the editor-in-chief's position, he begged the president to give Suzumiya Haruhi more time and not cut it in half.

The president at the time, considering that Hiroshi Hisashi's vision was very vicious, temporarily dismissed the idea of cutting off Haruhi Suzumiya, and decided to wait a little longer.

Then, as Hisayo Hasano had predicted, Haruhi Suzumiya swept Japan as soon as it was launched.

And Kadokawa Bunko also completely established its status in the rivers and lakes with the book Haruhi Suzumiya, and became one of the three families of light novels.

Hirono Hisashi, who was also reused because of this, jumped from the editor-in-chief of Ichisuke to the editor-in-chief of Kadokawa Bunko, and has continued to serve until now, which can be regarded as a person with a legendary experience.

And Ayazaki Shoichi also knows the past of Hirono Hisashi, so since he took over as president, he has relied on this editor-in-chief.

Seeing the president looking at him, Hisashi Hirono, who had already prepared words in his heart, said directly:

"I think the reason why the development of our library has slowed down in recent years is because we are too rigid and have not changed anything, and if we want to reverse this situation, we must absorb more works of themes!"
