Chapter 391: Speculation
Makoto Takahashi's plan to plan "CLANNAD" is only partially known to some people! At least before the announcement of the break was published in the monthly magazine, the readers did not know about it! What's more, in order to ensure that the plan could maximize the pleasure of the readers, Makoto Takahashi once specially negotiated with the editor-in-chief of the monthly magazine and proposed that the "Break Declaration" should be published only in the issue of the manga "CLANNAD...... Therefore, readers who bought this issue of the monthly magazine "Jumk" did not know that the next episode of "CLANNAD" would be published, but it would not be until three months later!
Although when Makoto Takahashi first made this proposal, he was met with fierce opposition from the editor-in-chief......
"I can make an announcement to remind readers to resume serialization in three months, and it's just a temporary interruption of the content of the three words...... At least I think this approach has fully considered humanitarianism, and it can be regarded as a model of conscience in the industry!"
"In fact, at the beginning, I used to think that when the plot of a certain comic was serialized to a critical moment, there was suddenly a genius twist, such as killing the protagonist, such as directly pit the comic......"
"However, considering that this is likely to ruin the editor's side and have a huge impact on the pleasure of harvesting in the future, in order to avoid killing chickens and eggs, I proposed this decision......
Although Makoto Takahashi's various remarks sounded like a joke, the editor-in-chief knew that the manga artist in the white coat in front of him must have planned to do so before...... It's not so much that Makoto Takahashi is joking, but that a secondary two cartoonist is trying to threaten himself in this way!
And so in the end...... Makoto Takahashi still succeeded in convincing the editor-in-chief!
Looking at the monthly magazine "Jumk" on the table, a certain four-eyed fox Chen Ben who was originally going to close his eyes and rest. After frowning and hesitating for a moment, he still chose to give up his lunch break......
Although he is a high-level member of the Taihe Society, this does not mean that a certain four-eyed fox Chen Ben will be high above and far from reality! On the contrary, in fact, Chen Ben, who has now become a high-level member of the old animation company Taihe Society, has to complete the decision-making work that he should complete every day. I will also deliberately take a certain amount of time to read all kinds of comic magazines, whether it is the mainstream weekly publication "Jumk" or some alternative weekly publications......
Originally, monthly publications like "Jumk" were not in the scope of Chen Ben's hunting!
It's not that Chen Ben has a prejudice against the works serialized in the monthly magazine, nor is it Chen Ben's personal preference, it's just because everyone's energy is limited, and no one can do everything, even if it's as strong as Chen Ben who can't reflect his belly without glasses. I can't get out of this category! So I spent most of my attention on serializing comics in weekly magazines, and I didn't pay too much attention to monthly magazines......
And as a representative of the manga side of Makoto Takahashi's [Future Showdown Project], the influence of the manga "CLANNAD" was still obvious at the beginning compared to the games and anime that appeared in the same period......!
ALTHOUGH NEITHER A CERTAIN FOUR-EYED FOX NOR A CERTAIN MINOTAUR JISAN DID NOT CARE TOO MUCH ABOUT THE "CLANNAD" REPRESENTED ON THE SIDE OF THE COMIC. However, since this work is an important part of Takahashi Makoto's plan, the existence of two uncles. Naturally, they will not be so naïve as to ignore and ignore the ......
However, perhaps out of the idea of "wanting to know more about Makoto Takahashi so that it is easier to grasp the lead in future negotiations", or because of "understanding the idea of a manga artist through comics", since participating in Makoto Takahashi's so-called "Future Showdown Plan", since "CLANNAD" began to be serialized in the monthly magazine, Chen Ben specially explained to his secretary and added the purchase of the monthly magazine "Jumk". At the same time, the name of the comic "CLANNAD" was added to the manga magazine that I must read every day......
As an animation company, when observing manga, it is more often necessary to consider the possibility of animate manga and the market that animation will bring! Although the animation plot provided by Makoto Takahashi is still a game plot. The quality is very good, but the reason why Chen Ben agreed to Makoto Takahashi's [Future Showdown Plan] is largely because of the gimmick of watching the three fields of comics, animation, and games collide!
However, judging from the comics serialized in the monthly magazine, Chen Ben feels that the level of comics is slightly insufficient!
"Compared with the other two works, the "CLANNAD" serialized in the monthly magazine now, although some of the previous plots do have merits, but it seems to be ...... It can't be considered a work of the same level, right?"
What is the core of the comic CLANNAD?
Judging from the plot of the previous serialization, the theme of this comic serialized in the monthly magazine should be family, friendship, and love, which human beings rely on! However, judging from the content of the current serialization, although a lot of friendship has been written, and some of the family part has been described, the aspect of love ...... Chen Ben thinks that the creation and portrayal of the comic "CLANNAD" in this regard can only be regarded as average at best, and there is nothing amazing about it!
"Although Makoto Takahashi said before, this "CLANNAD" can compete with the other two works...... However, judging from the content of the current serialization, after the animation of "CLANNAD", the effect may not be very good!" Chen Ben made a conjecture that the manga "CLANNAD" is not suitable for animation based on the content of the current serialization, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes with his glasses lowered, "If Makoto Takahashi proposes to animate this manga in the future, do I have to consider the consequences of the animation hitting the street and politely refuse? Or do I reluctantly agree considering the cooperation in the past?tsk, this question is really ...... It's a bit of a headache!"
Speaking of the four-eyed fox Chen Benyo, now that the comic "CLANNAD" has not been serialized, have you started to think about the animation of the comic and the reaction of the market after the animation? Although it is a good habit to strategize, everything has to be so laborious to think about various possibilities...... I don't know after baldness in the future. Will the strength become as strong as Saitama-sensei?
"But it seems to be a little early to draw conclusions at this time, after all, the comics haven't been serialized yet......" Chen Ben thought for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile, picked up a new monthly magazine "Jumk" on the table, and began to look through the "CLANNAD" that he hadn't finished reading because he was busy!" But then again. The comic "CLANNAD" has been serialized until now, and there should not be many plots that can be excavated......"
Judging from the plot of the manga "CLANNAD", whether it is from the beginning when Tomoya Okazaki intends to help Nagisa Furukawa rebuild the drama department, or the plot of Kazeko later, or even the story of Kenin some time ago, the main plot line of the entire manga actually revolves around Tomoya Okazaki's school life! It really raised the [friendship] part of the manga to a very high level...... But this kind of story mode can't last long!
Although through each story, the reader can understand the character and three views of the protagonist, although through the observation of these things that Tomoya Okazaki has gone through, he is constantly growing, although these stories are touching, sad or joyful...... But what happened to his friends is not Tomoya Okazaki's own experience after all, if the plot after the manga "CLANNAD" continues to develop at this pace, then not to mention Makoto Takahashi's so-called [Future Showdown Plan], this manga can't be compared with the other two manga at the same level!
SO THE NEXT PLOT DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMIC "CLANNAD". Or just continue like this, by telling the story of Tomoya Okazaki's friends. Make friendship the core theme of the manga until the end, or change the pattern and find a new direction...... There is absolutely no third way to go!
If there really is a third way...... Then it can only be said that Makoto Takahashi, as a cartoonist, has too high expectations and evaluations of this manga called "CLANNAD"! Although Chen Ben can only be regarded as a comic book lover at most, Chen Ben is still very confident in his vision!
The content of "CLANNAD" of this sentence has reached the pre-married life of Tomoya Okazaki, and when it comes to this, the plot of Naoyuki Okazaki's father is naturally indispensable!
Tomoya Okazaki, whose career has just improved. On the eve of accepting a promotion, he suddenly learned that his father had been arrested for selling contraband! Not to mention that the hope of promotion was shattered in an instant, it was a catastrophic blow to Tomoya Okazaki, who had just entered society......
Although this plot seems a little depressing, the next plot is Okazaki Tomoya's happy time! Okazaki Tomoya, who went to the detention center with Furukawa Nagisa to visit his father, also brought his father the news that he was about to marry Furukawa Nagisa! Although it has been revealed in the manga that Okazaki Tomoto also has to face the test of Autumn Life, but judging from the previous plot, since he met Furukawa Nagisa in high school, Okazaki Peng has been working hard to brush the favorability of the Furukawa family, so Uncle Akisheng's test or something...... There is no need for spoilers at all, and Chen Ben, as a reader, also knows that Okazaki Peng will definitely be able to pass!
By the way, Makoto Takahashi once mentioned to Yoshida that if Tomo Okazaki didn't pass the test of Uncle Akiyo here, maybe this manga would ...... In a sense, it's probably super-god!
"Is the next route of love?Hmph! As I thought, it seems that Makoto Takahashi has chosen the second path...... "I just watched the first half of the content of this sentence, but it was enough for Chen Ben to make a judgment......!" No, it's going to be fun, isn't it? After all, it's Makoto Takahashi's work......"
And Chen Ben, the four-eyed fox who fell into self-indulgence, didn't notice that the content of "CLANNAD" serialized in the monthly magazine this time seemed to be more than any previous issue...... (To be continued.) )
