5Nz C u }桙 gD6 Y|B @ M Kgd zF > گ r - The two pillars of "Shonen Sunday", Mitsuru Adachi and Rumiko Takahashi, are still playing steadily, and "Ranma 1/2" and "Baseball Heroes" continue to sell well.

And the newcomers cultivated by the Shogakukan a few years ago have also begun to emerge.

Kazuhiro Fujita's "The Tide and the Tiger" and Nobuyuki Anzai's "The Flame of Fire" are also getting better. Among them, the average sales of a single volume of "Tide and Tiger" have exceeded 11.1 million copies, which is already a best-selling comic with great influence.

As for Kodansha's "Weekly Shonen Magazine", it is even more prosperous, and the upward momentum is amazing.

Although the top-notch works in the comics serialized in this magazine are not as good as the two magazines of the Hitotsubashi Group, the overall strength is relatively average, and the combat effectiveness is not weak.

Daisuke Terasawa, who has been focusing on food manga for 30 years, has been a huge success with his new food manga "Shota's Sushi" serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine.

Daisuke Terazawa, after the failure of his previous work, "Little Chef", which was weak and had to be hastily completed, has made great strides in this new manga, which has been appreciated by readers and professional critics alike.

However, the reason why "Weekly Shonen Magazine" has been able to make sales rise rapidly in the past year and quickly close the gap with the king of "Weekly Shonen Jump" is that the biggest trump card is someone else.

That is "Kanedaichi Shonen Incident Book", which led the Toei manga industry and the trend of reasoning comics!

"Weekly Shonen Jump" dominates the world, and its comics include almost all popular themes, and most of the other comic magazines can only breathe miserably, relying on following the trend JUMP to eat a few bites of leftovers.

However, a big magazine like "Weekly Shonen Magazine" is obviously unwilling to follow behind the sworn enemy.

Then, if you want to change the status quo of the JUMP family, you can only find another way and start the trend yourself!

So, under the guidance of this line of thinking, there was "Jintian One Juvenile Incident Book".

The original work of this manga was in charge of Yozaburo Kaneshiro, who once wanted to be a TV screenwriter. As for the painting, it was written by Fumiya Sato.

This female cartoonist had just made her debut in the Newcomer Award before she drew "Jintian One Juvenile Incident Book", and in terms of painting skills, not to mention compared with Qin Han, a guy who has been hanging up and has more than ten years of experience ahead of the times, it is placed among many commercial cartoonists, that is, the lower level of the middle.

However, this did not prevent this epoch-making juvenile detective manga from being a huge success.

The mantra of the manga protagonist Kazuichi Kaneda, "Swear in the name of my grandfather", also became popular all over Toei overnight.

With this onto-style mystery manga, "Weekly Shonen Magazine" can be said to be the biggest winner in the manga industry last year, and some people even predict that if this trend continues, when "Saint Seiya" is in decline, and "Fist of the Big Dipper" and "City Hunter" are over, "Dragon Ball" may not be able to stand alone, and "Weekly Shonen Jump" will also be pulled off the throne of shonen manga magazines.

Shogakukan and Kodansha are gaining momentum, and they are aiming for the first place. And Shueisha wants to reverse the decline and continue to maintain its kingship no matter what.

Therefore, for Qin Han, a well-known cartoonist who has not found a home for the time being, the three are gearing up to recruit him to his command.

…………

September 1st is the day when the students return to school after the summer vacation.

On the streets, there are more students in uniform again.

Qin Han couldn't help but think of the fear of being dominated by tons of holiday homework when the holiday was about to end.

"It's not completely unhelpful to be an adult, at least you don't have to worry about homework. Qin Han was on the balcony, eating breakfast leisurely while enjoying the scenery.

"President, why did you suddenly think about what happened when you were in school?" said his assistant Kyoka Misato with a laugh.

"It's just a feeling. Qin Han pointed to the sandwich on the table, "You came over early in the morning, you definitely didn't have breakfast, eat something to pad your stomach first, and then we will talk about work." ”

Kyokamiri nodded, found a chair to sit down, poured herself a glass of juice, and then picked up the sandwich and took a bite.

The two of them have been together for a few months, and they are already very familiar, and many times they don't need those superficial politeness, and it can even be said that there is some tacit feeling.

The two of them chatted, and after breakfast, they came to the living room.

Kyokamiri took out her notepad and began to report to Qin Han on her work.

The invitations issued by other magazines to Qin Han were all followed by Jing Jia Miri, and after she finished sorting out and synthesizing all aspects of the information, she would report to Qin Han.

In this way, a lot of things were saved, and it also saved a lot of time for Qin and Han.

So, it's good to have a personal assistant.

"In the last two days, I have met with people from three magazines: Weekly Shonen Jump, Weekly Shonen Magazine, and Weekly Shonen Sunday. Kyokamiri said as she flipped through her notepad.

"Of the three, Weekly Shonen Sunday has shown the most sincerity, and I am very eager for you to join the president and become its manga artist. Moreover, they also said that they have a lot of experience in how to operate and promote sports comics, and they can help your work be understood by more readers. ”

Qin Han let out an "um" sound.

Although "Weekly Shonen Jump" has not been doing very well recently, it is still the leader in the field of shonen manga. In the past year, the sales of "Weekly Shonen Sunday" have risen steadily, but they are not as good as "Weekly Shonen Jump" and "Weekly Shonen Magazine", which has grown by leaps and bounds with "Kanedaichi Shonen Incident". Now, this comic magazine of the Shogakukan is indeed one of the more embarrassing of the Big Three.

Seeing that Qin Han was listening very carefully, Kyokamiri flipped through the notepad and said, "In terms of "Weekly Shonen Magazine", I also very warmly invite you to the president. Moreover, they have already prescribed conditions. The royalty of a single bank is 11%, and the magazine manuscript fee is the top 60,000 yuan in the industry. As for the perimeter share, it is 3%. ”

The conditions offered by "Weekly Shonen Magazine" are indeed quite attractive from the perspective of the entire comic industry. It's just that this standard is for the average cartoonist.

For a best-selling cartoonist like Qin Han who has already made a name for himself, it inevitably seems too ordinary.

The royalty share is actually one percentage point less than during the "Dragon Sakura" period.

Of course, in terms of Kodansha's strength, Qin Han must have earned much more money by serializing manga in "Weekly Shonen Magazine" than he made in "young animal".

However, it is also a matter of course.

Maybe he could have made more money by going to two other magazines.
