Chapter 17 Popularity No. 1

Asians still believe in them, and Locke's fantasy comics are just newcomers, not even newcomers, not magazines that don't even fit into the stream...

"Hello, is this Daddy's comic?" Locke asked.

"Baba, why did this sister say that?" she looked at Locke with her pure eyes open.

Locke looked over and hurriedly put away these pure comics, "This sister is comforting my brother...... I'm looking for your mother..."Because this part happens to be Kirito and Asuna's xox.

"Oh... Baba..."Nan Nan walked away with small steps.

As one of the most influential magazine publishers in Southeast Asia, Shonen Kansha's weekly shonen manga magazine Jump is its popular brand, with a weekly circulation of up to 5 million, and this is only the sales in Southeast Asia.

There are countless well-known manga artists who have signed contracts with them, and because they have a wide range of popularity and appeal, there are many aspirants who contribute to Shonen Jump.

The number of submissions is huge, but the number that can be published in a magazine is extremely limited, so the editor's job is to find real gold in the sea of works.

Of course, not everyone can do well at the beginning, so a responsible editor will also select those authors who cannot be published in the magazine for the time being, but have great potential, and give one-on-one guidance, urging him to draw qualified works and publish them in the magazine.

Tokyo.

Juvenile Museum Manga Club.

There are many manga magazines in RB, but among the many manga magazines, the top magazines that are serialized by teenagers to weekly are always those three.

Inside the newsroom.

Junko Seto looked down at a manga manuscript, her face was entangled, she had been thinking about it for several days, and her breakfast was next to her, but she didn't eat a bite, and it was already cold.

An editor next to him said, "Junko, what's wrong?"

Junko Seto smiled bitterly, "There's a submission, I don't know if I should hand it in or not." ”

The editor said: "If you think it's good, send it, and if you think it's bad, withdraw it." ”

Yes. ”

Seto Junko scratched her head and said, "The plot is very good, but this theme doesn't seem to work... I've been an editor for so many years, and I've never seen anything so awesome!"

"Oh? ”

"Look. ”

"Poof!"

"Really, huh?"

"It's pretty awesome. ”

"Forget it, send it for a try. ”

Over there, someone shouted, "The editor-in-chief meeting is open." ”

Someone in the editorial office stood up silently and entered the innermost conference room.

There were a total of thirteen people sitting around the long table, and this was all the main leaders of the editorial department of the Juvenile Hall.

The editor-in-chief spoke, "Let's discuss the new serialization today. ”

The deputy editor-in-chief pushed his glasses and said: "Now there are two vacant places, it's over, the last place in the reader's questionnaire survey score for three consecutive weeks, it has been decided to stop serialization, two serialization places, and they must be decided today." ”

The editor-in-chief said, "Let's see." ”

The works recommended by the editors are already on the table.

Everyone looked down and flipped through it, and while watching, it was introduced by the recommended editor.

"This won't work. ”

"Well, definitely not. ”

"The pace of the story is too slow. ”

"Next. ”

"It's okay. ”

"But it needs to be changed, the background setting is not good. ”

"Next. ”

The manuscript went through one by one.

Finally arrived at the manuscript recommended by Junko Seto.

Junko Seto said, "This is a newcomer's submission, the pen name is Falling Leaves, and I think the story and plot are very good, so I took it." ”

One editor frowned, "Didn't you make your debut?"

Junko Seto said, "No, Junjin. ”

Another editor said: "In principle, newcomers' works will not be directly serialized. ”

Junko Seto said: "I know, but the other party voted for ten words in one go, and I read them all, and the continuity is very strong, and it is very in line with the serialization style of our children's museum." ”

Everyone looked down, and then they were all dumbfounded.

What's this?

What kind of subject is this?

"Virtual Reality ...... Still trapped inside..."

There was a lot of debate.

Seto Junko said, "If it doesn't work, forget it." ”

The editor-in-chief said lightly: "Let's look at the next one." ”

As a result, after reading more than a dozen submissions, only one was unanimously approved by everyone, and there was still the last serialization quota left, so I couldn't discuss the results.

"Do you still have a draft?"

"No, that's all for this issue. ”

"There's one left. ”

"Do any other editors have recommendations?"

"No, it's all here. ”

"Let's start all over again. ”

These dozen or so manuscripts have been combed through again.

Half-hour.

One hour.

After a heated debate, in the end, there was really no good work, and the editor-in-chief picked up the manuscript again and read it twice, "That's it." ”

"But this subject?"

"This manuscript has to be cut even if it is serialized. ”

"But there's nothing else. ”

"Yes. ”

"But there aren't many precedents for the serialization of new works. ”

"I have to try it first. ”

……

A school.

"Hey, have you seen it?"

"This issue of the Juvenile Hall?"

"I just finished reading it, and I'm still dragging the plot. ”

"This issue is okay, it's very enthusiastic. ”

"I like it. ”

"Ah, I know, that new serial!"

"yes, the first word was good, I'm looking forward to it. ”

"It's very good, but the subject matter is a little more magical. ”

……

on the light rail.

"Huh??new serial?"

"It's a strange subject. ”

"I love this manga too. ”

……

A company.

"Fallen leaves?"

"Pure newcomer? ”

"This kind of character design can also be serialized? paralysis, the key is that I still watch it with relish!"

"Kirito is so cute!"

"yes, yes, I like him!"

……

Midday.

Editorial Department of the Juvenile Hall.

Junko Seto and her colleagues go out to eat and come back

"Junko, is it serialized in the manga you're in charge of?"

"Hmm. ”

"Is that the subject particularly strange?"

"Don't say that, every cartoonist has their own style, and this way of drawing, in fact, is quite characteristic and impressive. ”

"Okay, it's time for the popularity survey, right?"

"The first batch of statistics should be almost ready, let's see how this ranking is, guess who can take the first place?"

"I don't want to.,It's just to make up the numbers.,When the editor-in-chief will meet, if there is a second comic that can get by.,It's not my turn.,The deputy editor-in-chief has already spoken.,If you can't get results within ten issues.,Just cut the serial to make room.,Alas,God,Why can't you give me a good comic!"

"Haha, Junko is just too unlucky. ”

"Yes, Junko, you're an old editor, but you haven't had a single work that has won the first place in the popularity survey over the years. ”

"Hey, hey, don't mention this, okay?"

Several people teased her.

Junko Seto was also depressed.

Over there, there was a drawing board on the wall, and the survey statistics had come out.

Many editors gathered around to read it, and they were very concerned about the ranking of the comics they were responsible for, because once the ranking was low for a long time, it meant that the comics would be cut and stopped from serialization.

Junko Seto also wanted to see it, but she didn't dare to see it.

Heavenly spirit, earth spirit.

It's not going to be at the bottom again, is it?

Not far away, many people have already exclaimed.

"Ahh

"Look!"

"This, uh!"

"Junko! Junko is coming!"

Everyone called her.

Junko Seto was stunned, "What are you doing?"

Getting up and walking over, she looked up at the drawing board.

First: , 1023 votes.

Second: , 986 votes.

Third: , 922 votes.

Junko Seto is dumbfounded!

The entire editorial department of the Juvenile Hall was also dumbfounded!

The editor-in-chief was already standing there at some point, and the two deputy editors-in-chief were also standing behind the crowd in disbelief!

What the?

Sword Art Online's number one?

That weird comic that they used to make up the numbers? The first episode of the first day of the new serialization won the first place in the popularity survey? Is this a mistake?

For a time, countless editors looked at Seto Junko with envy.

"Junko, congratulations. ”

"It's a dark horse!"

"You've got a lot of luck this time!"

"Congratulations first!"

Junko Seto was so excited that she almost cried!

Good comics?

Good works?

I've finally arrived!
