Three days after the first issue of "Weekly Shonen Jump" was launched, the first batch of reader surveys was also collected by the editorial department.

In the past, the questionnaire of "Weekly Shonen Jump" was all paper, and it was sent with the magazine, and readers filled it out and sent it back to the editorial office with a stamp, which was a troublesome and time-consuming process.

Today, however, Weekly Shonen Jump has kept pace with the times, retaining the paper questionnaire and opening up online channels.

Of course, even though there are more and more channels for readers to fill out the questionnaire, it is becoming more and more convenient, but the threshold has not been lowered. Only those who really like Weekly Shonen Jump and are willing to spend more than half an hour a week filling out the reader survey will have their opinions instructive to the Jump editorial department.

Otherwise, if any cat or dog can vote for Jump's comics, it won't be a good thing for the Jump editorial department, which upholds the supremacy of reader research.

Thanks to the fact that the land area of Dongying is not large, so in three days, enough paper questionnaires can be recycled. Coupled with the results of the online survey, it is enough for reference.

In the Jump editorial office, two editors are standing in front of a magnetic whiteboard hanging on the wall, revising the ranking of comics based on a new reader survey.

This magnetic whiteboard has existed in the editorial department for many years, and the weekly changes in the comic rankings on it are also one of the sources of motivation for urging editors to work hard, and its role is similar to the "×× days before the college entrance examination" clock board hanging in the third year of high school classroom.

A group of editors also gathered around the magnetic whiteboard, watching each comic ranking change with concern.

The same is true for Hiroto Hamaguchi.

"Oh, "Saint Seiya" is still ranked fourth, and the number of votes with the fifth place has increased a little, it seems that after entering the Hades chapter, it has stabilized......"

"City Hunter third. It is not surprising that it is not surprising. Mr. Tsukasa Hojo and Mr. Tetsuo Hara, alternately ranked second or third all year round, and occasionally when the manga plot is outstanding, they can be ranked first. ”

"It's remarkable that 'City Hunter' and 'Fist of the Hokuto' have maintained their popularity at the end of the series. ”

"The rankings of "Saint Seiya", "City Hunter", and "Fist of the North Dipper" have all come out, and "Dragon Ball" is closed this week, which means ......"

A group of editors looked at Hiroto Hamaguchi in unison.

"Hamaguchi, congratulations!"

"Haha, I didn't expect that the first issue of "Midfield Core" would be able to get the first place in the popularity vote!"

"It's amazing, it's amazing. Let's jump, and finally have a sports comic that can be used to rival "Baseball Heroes"!"

Hiroto Hamaguchi waved his hand again and again, and said modestly: "Don't say that, everyone. "Midfield Core" had a perfect start, but it couldn't let up next. ”

"Of course that's true, but when it's time to be happy, you have to be happy!"

"By the way, Hamaguchi, tell Teacher Qin Han the good news. The quick report is stable, and when the official ranking is made, it will definitely be stable. ”

Hiroto Hamaguchi nodded and quickly picked up his phone.

At this time, Qin Han was not busy with comics. Because of the problem of changing the editor-in-charge, "Midfield Core" was delayed by several weeks from the scheduled plan before it officially started serialization, so he has a lot of manuscripts, even if he touches the fish openly, it is not a big problem.

Today, except for a few assistants in the comic studio, who are busy pasting the original manuscript that Qin Han has already drawn and drawing effect lines, he himself has not picked up a paintbrush, but has been playing games in the room specially opened up as a multimedia entertainment room.

Of course, even if Qin Han didn't leave the controller all day, no one would say that he was addicted to games and couldn't extricate himself. Because as the owner of a game company, playing games is simply a normal thing.

In addition, he is also the game producer of Terraria, and is responsible for most of the "gameplay" - that is, the design of the gameplay, content, and story.

The development of Terraria continues in an orderly manner, and the first beta version with complete content was finally made yesterday after the demo was released at the Tokyo Game Show.

Including Qin Han, Kensuke Tanaka and other main creators, the members of the development team each took a copy of the game home to try it out.

To make your own games, you must first find it fun before you can sell them to consumers - this is the concept of Qin and Han.

When Qin Han was controlling the game character and fighting the third boss in the game, the Roshan Monster of Cthulhu, the mobile phone suddenly rang.

He quickly paused the game and put down the controller.

"Hey, Hamaguchi, what's the matter?" Qin Han asked when he saw that it was his own editor-in-charge calling.

"Mr. Qin Han, the readers' popularity vote for this issue of the magazine has come out, and "Midfield Core" ranks first!"

"Popularity vote......" Qin Han didn't react for a while.

In the past, when he serialized "Dragon Sakura" in "Young Animal", there was also such a thing as a popular vote from readers. However, no manga magazine has made popularity voting as important as Weekly Shonen Jump, and most of them are just used as a reference.

Even though "Dragon Sakura" has been ranked first in the popularity poll of "Young Animal" all year round, Xiong Zexin has never been as excited as Hiroto Hamaguchi is today, so excited to call him to report.

After a while, Qin Han realized what it meant to win the first place in the popularity vote on "Weekly Shonen Jump".

Although he himself was not too excited, in the eyes of others, it was a very noteworthy thing.

After all, this is the place where "Weekly Shonen Jump" competes with Akira Toriyama, Tsukasa Hojo, Tetsuo Hara, Masami Sada and other god-level manga artists!

Although "Midfield Core" was able to win the first place, there are many reasons, such as "Dragon Ball" happened to be suspended, such as the first serialization, readers have a sense of freshness, more tolerant judgment, and Shueisha's vigorous promotion and so on.

However, this is still a platinum-level achievement, and as an ordinary cartoonist, you can take it out and blow it for months.

"Really, it looks like a good start. Qin Han behaved calmly.

Hiroto Hamaguchi's excitement quickly recovered: "Yes, although I won the first place in the flash report, this is just the beginning. I hope that in the coming year, the annual average pick of "Midfield Core" will also be ranked first. ”

"No. 1 of the year? Hamaguchi, do you dare to think about it. Qin Han smiled, "Then let's work together." ”

It is also extremely difficult for a new manga that has just started to be serialized to surpass "Dragon Ball", which has already accumulated quite a lot of popularity.

However, people have to have some dreams, otherwise what's the difference between them and salted fish?
