“…… That's basically the case!hehe!" The Hattori editor took a sip of his teacup and continued slowly, "Although from the perspective of the editor-in-charge, I don't recommend that you choose to serialize it during this period...... But I guess even if I say that, I'm afraid you won't agree, right?"

"Of course!" "Of course!" Hattori did not deny the statement of the editor of Hattori, although the editor in charge Hattori wanted to persuade the good friend group out of good intentions, but ...... No matter what kind of difficulties they face, no matter what harsh conditions they have to face, the good friends of Yacheng Mumezuha never thought of giving up the serialization, this is a choice that the two of them have decided from the beginning!"Thank you, Mr. Hattori, for your kindness and for taking care of us!"

"I don't want to take care of anything, I'm just telling you what I think as the editor in charge!" "After a pause, the Hattori editor re-emphasized the conditions put forward by the editor-in-chief of the bottle at the serialization meeting, "Takagi-kun, Mashiro-kun, since you have chosen to participate in this serialization, then you must complete the tasks proposed by the editor-in-chief!"

"During the publication of the new series, the ranking of the readership survey cannot be lower than the tenth position three times in a row......" muttered a repetition of the conditions conveyed by the previous Hattori editor, and the yellow-haired glasses-kun pushed his glasses, "That, Mr. Hattori, if we don't do it...... Will the new serialized manga be cut in half?"

"Although the editor-in-chief didn't say it explicitly at the time, ......" The Hattori editor scratched his head, showed a tangled look on his face, and after a long silence, he said with some reluctance, "Actually, I don't really want to tell you, but since you asked, let me convey the original words of the editor-in-chief!" That's pretty much what the editor-in-chief said...... So if you don't complete the task set by the editor-in-chief, I think it's certain that the new series will be cut in half!"

"Sure enough...... Worst of all!"

"Big husband, big husband!" Feeling that the atmosphere had become a little awkward, the Hattori editor comforted, "It's really more pressure on the teacher of Phoenix Academy......, right?

"Eh, Ah Cheng...... Is the task more difficult than ours?"

"Well, in addition to the same task as all manga artists [the ranking of the reader survey cannot be lower than the tenth position three times in a row], the editor-in-chief also specially asked the teacher of Phoenix Academy to seize the first position at least once within a year of starting the serialization!" "For Takahashi Makoto to suffer such treatment, the Hattori editor did not gloat, nor did he flood with kindness like rotten good people, and still said to the two of them in a normal tone of communication, " It doesn't sound like a difficult task, but I think you as a manga artist should know the most about it...... Speaking of Takagi-kun, Mashiro-kun, and the cartoon draft of the new comic "One Punch Man" by the teacher of the Phoenix Academy, have you all read it? How do you feel about that comic?"

"Well, we did see it...... And I watched it twice!" The good friends group nodded in acknowledgement, and was about to say their thoughts on that part, but was interrupted by the surprised Hattori editor!

"Wait!Teacher's new serialization of Phoenix Academy, you actually watched it twice?" The Hattori editor stared at the two good friends of Ajogi Mumeye with some confusion, and sighed with some disbelief, "The manga that can make you watch it twice...... It seems that the new serialization of the Phoenix Academy's teacher called "One Punch Man" is also very interesting! If this is the case, then it seems that it is possible to achieve the task proposed by the editor-in-chief...... Am I saying something wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Uh...... That ......" Lan Du stammered for a long time, and only then did he say the real reason for observing the comic manuscript twice under the playful eyes of his good friend and the curious gaze of the editor of Hattori...... Magical style...... Right?"

"Magical?" "Hattori's editors can't understand the modified word of Lan Du's classmates!" "Majo-kun, can you tell me in detail...... Or just imitate that style and draw some for me to see!"

"Eh, imitate that style of painting?" Thinking back to the [original version] comic manuscript of "One Punch Man" before, Lan Du's face showed a rather reluctant expression, and then he began to hide his embarrassment with silence!

It's not that Lan Du can't draw it, after all, that kind of comic manuscript that has no professional level at all, and it's actually very easy for a cartoonist like Lan Du to be serialized for many years! It's just that a professional cartoonist can draw the kind of comic manuscript that is quite unprofessional, and even can only be regarded as graffiti at best...... Lan Du felt that the soul of his profession as a cartoonist was crying and wailing!

"Hmm, is that style of painting difficult to imitate?Can't you even draw Majo-kun?" Regarding Lan Du's silence, Hattori's editor obviously thought too much, thinking that that kind of painting style was too complicated, so that Lan Du's painting skills could not be completed after his debut...... Anyway, if the two good friends of Yacheng Mu Mengye tell you the truth, you must not cry, Uncle Hattori!

"Poofha......" The yellow-haired glasses-kun, who knew that the editor of Hattori had misunderstood, couldn't hold back his laughter anymore at the moment, and began to laugh out loud very unkindly......

"What's going on?" looked at the yellow-haired glasses who suddenly laughed, and the Hattori editor was a little dazed, "Did I say something wrong?"

"No, Mr. Hattori, you misunderstood!" Lan Du's classmates tried to suppress his good friends with a sad and angry look, but the visual effect was not very good...... Ignoring the various forbearant smiles of his good friends, Lan Du spread his hands helplessly to the confused Hattori editor, and explained, "Mr. Hattori should have seen the storyboard completed by Akito, right?"

"Well, as your editor-in-charge, Takagi-kun has naturally read the storyboard...... Any questions?"

"Regarding the painting style of the comic manuscript of "One Punch Man" that we saw at the beginning, the figurative metaphor is ......" Skimming the yellow-haired glasses who was still covering his mouth and snickering, Lan Du did not hesitate to sell his good friend......!" It's about the same as the storyboard that Akito has completed!"

The "......" was silent...... The Hattori editor was completely silent because he suddenly heard this shocking truth!

"Although you may not believe it Mr. Hattori, but the manga manuscript we saw at the beginning is exactly like that!" The yellow-haired glasses-kun, who finally stopped smiling, couldn't help laughing again when he remembered the demonic "One Punch Man" manga draft he had observed before, "I remember that Mr. Yoshida would keep chattering around Makoto every time he had the opportunity to let Ah Cheng revise the manga draft......"

"That'...... Have you read the manga draft of "One Punch Man" revised by the teacher of Phoenix Academy?" and did not go crazy like the two good friends of Ajo Mumeba, the Hattori editor remembered what happened at the previous serial meeting, and his tone immediately became serious, "Originally, I didn't plan to tell you what happened at the serial meeting, because in my opinion, that incident may discourage your enthusiasm...... Do you know what all of us thought about the six works at this serialization conference?"

"Isn't it ...... Ah Cheng's "One Punch Man" is the most promising new serial, right?" Looking at the look of the editor of Hattori, the yellow-haired glasses had already vaguely guessed what the other party wanted to say next, and immediately restrained his smile, exchanged glances with his good friends on the side, and then asked, "What about the new wife Eiji's "Hero Academia"? What about our "Chess Soul"?"

"The six new comics submitted this time will be serialized in a new way, starting from next week's weekly issue...... Although the editor-in-chief has proposed some tasks and asked us to ask for the opinions of the manga artists in charge of their own affairs, I think that the manga artists who submitted the new serialization will all agree to and complete the tasks proposed by the editor-in-chief and join this weekly serialization that is different from the past!" "After briefly recounting what happened at the serialization meeting, the editor finally moved on to the topic that Yumeha Ashiro was most interested in!" According to the practice of the previous serialization conference, if the number of newly submitted manga exceeds the number required for serialization, in addition to the manga selected for serialization, the remaining excellent new manga will generally be included in the [Serialization Candidate], and when there is a suitable opportunity for serialization in the future, we will give priority to these works......"

"What Mr. Hattori means...... "Although it is rude to interrupt others at will, but now the yellow-haired glasses-kun doesn't care about this at all!" "What if according to the previous convention, our "Chess Soul" can only be included in the [Serialization Candidate]?"

"Although it is a bit cruel for you, it is true......" After the Hattori editor finished speaking, he saw that the yellow-haired glasses were a little frustrated, and immediately opened his mouth to comfort, "Of course, this does not mean that your comics are worse than others...... It is also very common for this to happen at serial meetings!"

"That'...... What about his new wife Eiji's "Hero Academia" and Makoto's "One Punch Man"?" Lan Du's classmates were not disappointed because of this matter, but instead asked the Hattori editor about the two people who had always been regarded by him as [must exceed the goal]...... Although he was asking the editor of Hattori, in fact, Lan Du had already vaguely guessed the answer! "Could it be ......?"

"So I didn't really want to tell you just now......" Looking at the somewhat frustrated looks of the pair of good friends in front of him, the Hattori editor felt a little embarrassed, and deliberately began to change the topic in order to ease the atmosphere!"Teacher Phoenix Academy, Teacher New Wife, and Teacher Heimaru, the comic drafts submitted by the three of them this time have all received high praise at the serial meeting! Especially the comic drafts of the two of them, the teacher of Phoenix Academy and the teacher of the new wife, the theme of the comic plot construction is similar, but the protagonist is extremely strong and extremely weak...... Such two comics that have similarities but strong contrasts can be described as "disaster" for other cartoonists serialized at the same time!"

“……”

"That's why I just said that if you can, I don't really want you to submit a new serialization at this time......" The Hattori editor, who reiterated his point of view again, did not say the rest of the words, because ......

"Na, the highest, I didn't expect that this duel has just begun, and we are already behind!"

"Yes, Akito, so what's next, goal...... It should already be clear, right?"

"Then we will catch up from this opening disadvantage and do our best......" The fists of the good friends collided together, and they said in unison, "until they completely surpass their !!"

Yacheng Mu Mengye's fighting spirit ignited at this time...... It already says it all!(To be continued.) Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info)
