As soon as Xiong Zexin's words were finished, Qin Han received a system prompt.

"Task posted. ”

"The apex of Dongei youth comics. ”

"The goal: to make "young_animal" sell more than "Weekly Morning". ”

"Quest Reward: Start a new class. ”

Explanation: When you've achieved enough results in one area, you can look at other areas. ”

A new career?

Qin Han read the task prompt carefully.

In the current system, he only has one cartoonist profession. It's a great thing to be able to start a new career.

Although "young_animal" successfully exceeded one million sales with the popularity of "Dragon Sakura", there is still some distance from "Weekly Morning".

Kodansha is not only eating its old books, but also making every effort to increase the sales of its magazines in order to win in the fierce competition in the industry.

In four issues of the magazine published in October, Weekly Morning raised its average sales to 1.12 million, still occupying the top spot among male-oriented youth manga magazines.

"It's a bear in the physical education department, it's really motivated. At this time, the editor-in-chief of Hetian, who was full of alcohol, came over.

After he heard Xiong Zexin's declaration that surpassed "Weekly Morning", he was also quite excited, and kept patting Qin Han on the shoulder: "Teacher Qin Han, I have seen the name behind "Dragon Cherry", and the story is very exciting. So to achieve this goal, I'm afraid it's up to you. ”

Qin Han shook his head and pointed at Kentaro Miura: "Although I am very confident in my work. But the success of a magazine cannot be achieved by me alone. Miura's new manga, I think it has a lot of potential. In addition, Mr. Keyashu's new work is also worth looking forward to. With them, it's not impossible to surpass Weekly Morning. ”

…………

That night, when Qin Han was enjoying the joy of success and various delicacies in a five-star hotel, the atmosphere was a little stiff in the high-end apartment of Ryuzo Toyoshima in Roppongi.

The cause of the incident was that during a break, the four assistants of Ryuzo Toshima were chatting together.

One of them was reading a blog that specialized in publishing intelligence on the comic industry.

Today's blog content is the semi-monthly comic magazine "young_animal" under the White Spring Society, and its sales exceeded one million for the first time. For this reason, the Hakusensha also held a grand celebration party at the Chunshanso Hotel.

The blog analyzed the reasons for the big sales of "young_animal", and pointed out that in addition to the 20 issues of the magazine inviting members of the popular idol group HKT48 to shoot a photo album, which attracted a group of idol chefs who didn't read comics to buy the magazine, the biggest reason is the comic "Dragon Sakura" created by Mr. Qin Han, the plot is getting better and better, attracting more and more readers.

"As an unprecedented comic book about exams and studies, "Dragon Sakura" does not have the unbridled imagination and magnificent and strange setting of the current comics. But this comic is loved by readers for its solid plot, vivid character settings, rich content, and the eye-catching painting style of Mr. Qin Han......"

The blog praised "Dragon Cherry" fiercely, and the assistant sighed: "I also bought the last two issues of "young_animal", mainly to learn the painting style of Teacher Qin Han, but I didn't expect that "Dragon Cherry" is really good-looking, which reminds me of my previous student days. ”

"yes, yes. ”

Other assistants chimed in.

Just then, Ryuzo Toshima walked into the studio.

The assistants were silent.

The grudge between Toshima Ryuzo and Qin Han is clear to the assistants. It's just limited to identity, and he has to rely on Toshima Ryuzo's salary to make a living, so if he has any ideas, he can only hold them in his heart, and he doesn't dare to mention the word "Qin Han" in front of Toshima Ryuzo.

I saw Toshima go straight to the assistant who had praised "Dragon Sakura" just now, grabbed his mobile phone, and smashed it to the ground, falling to pieces.

Then, he took out four 10,000 yuan bills with a blushing face: "You won't use it tomorrow." This is your salary today, go buy a new phone. ”

The assistant who had just been dismissed sneered: "With your mind and bearing, you still want to become a real comic master?"

Looking at the assistant who turned around and left without hesitation, Toshima Ryuzo was so angry that he trembled all over his body and yelled: "Get out, get out of here!"

The other assistants didn't want to touch the mold, so they crawled out of the studio.

"All of them are stupid! Qin and Han are talking about all day long. What kind of future will be the kind of person who goes to draw comics in a pile of women like Baiquan Society? Now let him be proud. When the single book is released, he will know what the gap is that can never be bridged!"

The sales volume of "young_animal" exceeded one million, which not only affected Baiquan Society, but also other competitors in the field of youth comics.

On the second day of the celebration, the atmosphere in the editorial office of the Kodansha Building, located on the 11th floor of the Kodansha Building, located at 12-21, Otowa-2-chome, Bunkyo Ward, was extremely depressing.

Competitors' sales have soared to more than one million, which is certainly not good news for them.

After the previous magazine sales statistics came out, the grumpy deputy editor-in-chief Yoshiko Endo was furious. And the editor-in-chief also asked his subordinates with a solemn look to come up with countermeasures as soon as possible, and never let the aggressive "young_animal" take away the throne of the number one selling youth comic magazine from the hands of "Weekly Morning".

For this reason, today the editorial office held a special operational meeting attended by all editors.

In the conference room, the editors sat around with different expressions.

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Yoshiko Endo began by saying, "young_animal has been gaining momentum lately, and its sales are growing rapidly, and if we don't do anything else, we will face a big crisis. Do you have any countermeasures?"

"This is also something that can't be helped, who told the editor of "young_animal" to dig up Teacher Qin Han? If it weren't for "Dragon Sakura", how could "young_animal" sell for one million?"

"It's not that you are incompetent, you didn't dig up an excellent cartoonist like Mr. Qin Han to "young_animal", but let the opponent take advantage. Ryoko Endo rebuked.

Tadao Kojima, who was sitting in the corner, sneered.

"This stupid woman pretends to be like her. If it weren't for her, "Dragon Sakura" would be the signature work of "Weekly Morning" now. What else would she do but mess up everything and pass the buck?"

"Deputy Editor-in-Chief Endo, now is not the time to hold accountable, the key question is how to deal with the challenge of young_animal. The editor-in-chief said.

Although the other editors were unhappy with Endo's attitude, they didn't know about the matter between her and Tadao Kojima, so in a conscientious attitude, they began to suggest how to improve "Weekly Morning".

"For a comic magazine, good cartoonists and interesting works are the greatest asset. "young_animal" relies on "Dragon Sakura" and has the confidence to challenge us, so the most effective way for us to deal with it is to come up with better works. ”
