Chapter 18: The Fiery Sword Art Online

RB。

A new phase of the Juvenile Museum is on sale.

The second episode of Sword Art Online is serialized and landed.

If the first episode just introduces the background and mixes memories to bring out the main line, then the second episode really officially enters the plot.

"Wow"

"I'm starting to fight" "Kirito is so handsome"

"This is fun, this is fun", "Asuna is so cute"

"There's a new character. "It's getting better. ”

"It's a good comic, it's worth reading. ”

"This new series is very fresh and I already recommend it to my friends. ”

"Alas, it's just that the subject matter is too strange. ”

A week later.

The third episode of Sword Art Online is serialized.

"It's pretty"

"More and more anticipation"

"I'm going to die, and suddenly I think the subject matter is good"

"Me too, I'm used to it"

"This theme is so distinctive. ”

"The popularity survey vote for this issue was returned to it. ”

Juvenile Hall.

Newsroom.

A new issue of the popularity survey has been released.

All the editors, including Junko Seto, came over to watch in anticipation, and when they saw it, all the editors laughed.

"Sword Art Online again"

"First Again"

"No. 1 in three consecutive surveys. ”

"This is the biggest dark horse of the year. ”

"Junko, let's have a treat. ”

Seto Junko laughed in her heart, but she said: "What kind of guest, I'm worried, the fallen leaf teacher has come to urge it several times, saying that the serialization of one word a week is too small, and I hope to add a page to the volume of two or even three words a week, there has never been such a precedent." ”

When the editors heard it, they almost vomited blood, "What", "He is too little"

"Three words a week"

"Junko, you've made a lot of money" "Why don't I have such a dedicated cartoonist under me!"

"Shunzi,I'm envious of you.,My cartoonists.,All of them are little experts in procrastination.,Every time they don't know how to forge ahead until the delivery date.,I need to come to the door next to urge the draft.,Sometimes I have to stare at them and get mad.,I,Why can't I be such a good cartoonist?"

"Ahhh

"Junko has made a big comeback this year"

"Sword Art Online now has signs of a big fire, and the single book is already a certainty, and if the sales are good, it will definitely be animated. ”

That's when the editor-in-chief came.

Junko Seto hurriedly said, "Editor-in-chief." The editor-in-chief snorted, "First again"

Junko Seto smiled, "Yes." ”

The editor-in-chief thought for a while, "How many words did Sword Art Online hand in?"

Junko Seto said: "I've already handed in thirty words, and I don't know how many assistants I hired for Mr. Falling Leaves, the creative speed is too fast, and I have read each sentence several times, and the quality is very high." ”

The editor-in-chief nodded and said, "We have had a meeting to discuss the matter you said before, and there is indeed no precedent, but it is not impossible to open it. ”

Junko Seto was pleasantly surprised: "You mean"

"You can try. The editor-in-chief said: "I just stopped a serialization this week, you can give up this part of the serialization page to Sword Art Online, two words a week, see if it works, and if the effect is not good, then take it down." ”

In this way, Sword Art Online started a series of two words a week.

The popularity of Sword Art Online also swept the entire RB with lightning speed.

RB。

Online, on the street, in the car, at school.

Everywhere you go, you can hear talk about Sword Art Online. "I serialized two words today!"

"It's so enjoyable to watch. ”

"My Asuna!

"It's so bloody to fight!"

"This is the best manga I've seen in recent years!"

"I want to pay for the book!"

"Me too, when will it come out?"

"I've watched it four times!"

Episode 4.

Episode 5.

Episode 6.

The serialization continues.

And because of the doubling of the number of serials per week,The length of the page quickly met the requirements for publishing a single book.,Ordinary 32-folio.,In RB is also called a new book judgment.,The length of about 18o pages is enough.,The Juvenile Museum had to advance the plan for a single book.。

Publicize.

Printing.

Make the cover.

Print runs were also discussed.

At a meeting of the Juvenile Hall, everyone had different opinions.

"Tell me, how much is printed?"

"Let's try 100,000 copies first?"

"100,000 copies is a bit less, isn't it? With the current popularity, I think at least 200,000 copies will be used as a base, and maybe more. ”

"Two hundred thousand? ”

"It's the first volume, 200,000 is too high, this is the treatment of a top cartoonist. ”

"But now it's the hottest serialized comic in the whole RB at the moment!"

"There's no single book yet.,I don't know how the sales are.,It's too early to say the hottest comics.。 ”

"Compromise, I suggest 150,000. ”

There are optimistic.

Of course, there are also those who are not optimistic.

Sword Art Online's popularity survey is high.,It's been the first for many consecutive periods.,But word-of-mouth is word-of-mouth.,Sales are sales.,This must be said separately.,It's not that there is no kind of comic that is highly applauded but a single line is already in its original form.,Word-of-mouth is only one aspect.,In the end, sales have to speak.。

Ryosuke Yamada and Koji Devil are fans of Sword Art Online, and they know that fans of Sword Art Online have bought the latest manga, and they came early in the morning, only to see that the long line has already been lined up for more than a hundred meters.

Sword Art Online!

Sword Art Online!

It's all over my ears!

Ryosuke Yamada was stunned, "All bought?"

The branch devil is also a little empty, "Won't it?"

They didn't understand either, so they didn't dare to talk nonsense (to report the situation to the fan group), and then turned around and changed to a smaller bookstore, and it turned out to be the same now, they were all in line!

What is this for?

What are you here to buy?

At this time, the time has come!

When the bookstore suddenly opened its doors for business, the crowd in line instantly poured in, although it was orderly, although it was not as chaotic as the vegetable market, but everyone was also walking like flying, and everyone rushed in one direction - the comic sales area!

"Sword Art Online!"

"I want a copy!"

"Give me a copy!"

"Is Sword Art Online here?"

Ryosuke Yamada and the pride on the faces of the branches, it's not self-inflicted, it's really all here to buy!

……

Osaka.

A point of sale.

"Is there a Sword Art Online?"

"Give me a copy of Sword Art Online, thank you. ”

"Is the eighth book out? Not yet? Oh, I want a copy then. ”

……

Hokkaido.

A bookstore.

"What?"

"None?"

"How could it be gone?"

"I've been in line since the morning. ”

……

Kyoto.

A certain city.

"What?"

"Isn't it a single book today?"

"Sold out?"

"So fast?"

"Don't have a single one?"

"Ahhhh

……

Meanwhile.

Editorial Department of the Juvenile Hall.

A guy from the marketing department suddenly ran in and said out loud, panting, "Who's the editor?"

Junko Seto stood up in amazement, "It's me." ”

The man in the marketing department: "Hurry up and prepare, it's going to be printed!"

The other editors were dumbfounded.

"Printing?"

"It's just been sold. ”

"Why do you want to print it now?"

"What the hell is the result?"

None of them can understand.

This kind of thing is a big deal, and it is generally necessary to wait for the printed single book to be sold out, and then you can consider how many copies to print or print according to the results, why is it only two hours before the sales are started, and the matter of printing is proposed?

Everyone looked confused.

I saw the man in the marketing department: "What do you know, after two hours of sales, all the 150,000 copies printed were sold out!"

Junko Seto was stunned!

All the people in the editorial department were stunned!

Sold out?

All?

150,000 copies??

Deputy Editor-in-Chief: "Damn!"

A male editor fainted: "Do you want to be so ruthless?"

One shouted: "Hurry up, inform the editor-in-chief!"

Everyone understands that something is wrong!

This is not just a big deal in their juvenile hall, it's a big deal in the RB comics industry!

How many years?

How many years has RB not had a comic with this kind of achievement?

……

Two days later.

150,000 copies were printed.

Sold out in three hours!

……

A few days later.

Another 200,000 copies were printed.

200,000 copies sold out again!

……

Reprint!

SOLD OUT!

Reprint!

SOLD OUT!

In the end, the sales of the first single book reached an astonishing 1010,000 copies, breaking the historical sales record of a single book of comics!

The Juvenile Pavilion is crazy!

Other manga magazines are crazy!

The whole RB is crazy!

Thinking back to the end of the national comics six or seven years ago, there has never been such a crazy scene in the RB comics industry, the popularity came too suddenly, it was too unprepared, and many RB people were caught off guard!

It's been six years!

It's been six years!

Another national-level comic, they're finally here!
