In the face of Minekura Shinji's questioning, Hiroto Hamaguchi was a little afraid to look into the other party's eyes.

This side just notified the other party of the news of the comic's halving, and then told him that he had become Qin Han's editor-in-charge and it just so happened that Qin Han was one of the reasons why Minekura Shinji Comics was cut in half.

Although from an objective point of view, there is nothing wrong with Hiroto Hamaguchi, and becoming the editor in charge of Qin and Han is also appointed by the above, not his own wish. However, from the subjective point of view of Shinji Minekura, it means that Hiroto Hamaguchi abandoned himself and his manga and hugged the thigh of a well-known manga artist.

Minekura Shinji was emotionally excited because he had just gotten the bad news that his comics were going to be cut in half, and it was difficult to think rationally, so he would inevitably drill into the horns of the bull and speculate on others from the worst angle.

Hiroto Hamaguchi has worked with Shinji Minekura for more than two years, and he knows that the other party's personality is a bit extreme, but he still chooses to tell the truth.

"Teacher Qin Han's new editor-in-charge is me. Hiroto Hamaguchi nodded.

"Hahahaha!" Shinji Minekura poured down a glass of soju and laughed wildly, "I see, Hamaguchi." It seems that I and the already failed "Dragon Warrior" are no longer worthless in your eyes. Before, he kept saying that he would work with me to save "Dragon Warrior" as much as possible, but what was the result? After becoming the editor in charge of a famous cartoonist like Qin Han, he got carried away and completely left the responsibility here. I guess...... When the chief editor decided to cut "Dragon Warrior" in half, you didn't raise any objections, did you?"

Hiroshi Hamaguchi was speechless.

Today, he is immersed in the joy of becoming the editor in charge of Qin and Han. Being in charge of a work like "Midfield Core" that is destined to leave a name in the history of comics really made him a little carried away so much that he ignored a lot of other things.

When Kazuhiko Torishima told him that he would cut "Dragon Warrior" in half to make room for the serialization of "Midfield Core", Hiroto Hamaguchi didn't say anything although he couldn't give up in his heart.

"If I hadn't become the editor-in-charge of Mr. Qin Han, maybe I would have fought for the editor of Bird Island and "Dragon Warrior". But when I thought about the editor's decision to make room for the serialization of "Midfield Core", I kept silent......"

A bowl of water is easier said than done.

is also the manga he is responsible for, although Hiroto Hamaguchi wants to be treated equally, but instinctively, he prefers the hugely successful "Midfield Core" over the sluggish "Dragon Warrior".

"Hmph, there's nothing to say, right?" Minekura Shinji glanced at Hiroto Hamaguchi disdainfully, and sneered, "You guy, you have always been this virtuous, from an outsider's point of view, your work ability seems to be very strong, but in fact, you are easily carried away and immersed in the current success." In the past, when "Dragon Warrior" was voted for by Jump popularity and ranked in the middle of the ranking, I wanted to discuss with you how to improve it in order to make this comic better and better. But at that time, you were all about "Thunder Swordsman", and you were always perfunctory to me. As a result, after Toshima Ryuzo was finished, you started to pay attention to my manga again. But by then, everything was over. ”

Minekura Shinji took a bite of the dish, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "In the past, when "Dragon Warrior" first started to be serialized, it also won the second place in the popularity ranking, but now it's over. And when you were the editor of Toshima Ryuzo, you didn't fulfill your responsibilities, which made that guy more and more arrogant, and it ended up being over. In your hands, you've ruined two comics that were supposed to be promising, and who knows if you'll repeat the mistake of making "Midfield Core" the third?"

"You ......"

If Shinji Minekura just blames himself, then Hiroto Hamaguchi can still bear it. But the other party predicted that he would destroy "Midfield Core", and he couldn't bear it anymore.

However, Minekura Shinji didn't wait for Hiroto Hamaguchi to speak, so he got up and left directly: "The draft of the finale of "Dragon Warriors", I will send it to the editorial department by fax. You don't come to my house anymore. After this manga is over, I'm going to leave Jump. And even if I stay in Jump, I'll never let you be my editor!"

Looking at the back of Xiao Suo who left Minekura Shinji, the anger in the hearts of Hamaguchi Guangren quickly dissipated.

"I know I have a lot to do at work. But, is it really as Minekura said, I was so wrong before?"

With a bitter feeling, Hiroto Hamaguchi finished the wine in the cup.

He didn't want to go home, and instead returned to Shueisha.

When he came to the Jump editorial office and sat down at his desk, Hiroto Hamaguchi took out the original manuscript of "Midfield Core" and read it over and over again.

"Maybe Minekura is right, the two comics of "Dragon Warrior" and "Thunderbolt Swordsman" will not end well, and I have my responsibility in it. In that case, I had to work hard to make sure that "The Heart of the Midfield" got off to the best possible start and went to the finish without a hitch. ”

It was late at night, and the entire editorial office was empty and quiet, but Hiroto Hamaguchi was still working energetically.

For "Midfield Core", which is about to start serialization in magazines, Hiroto Hamaguchi's job has some extra things to do in addition to reviewing manuscripts and communicating with manga artists.

For example, write "side language".

This is the jargon of the comic industry, which means that in a comic series, a short sentence is written in a small blank space outside the storyboard at the beginning or end of the comic series.

These short sentences often play a role in connecting the past and the future, highlighting the key points of the plot, and creating a sense of expectation for readers.

For example, if "White Album 2" is adapted into a manga, at the end of a certain episode, the male protagonist Haruki Kitahara is hesitant and entangled in his heart in the face of the two heroines, Yukina Kogiso and Fuyuma Kasa.

As for "Side Talk", you can write a sentence similar to "In the face of two equally innocent and fiery feelings, what ...... did Chunxi choose" to create a sense of anticipation, so that readers have the desire to buy the next issue of the magazine and see how the plot develops.

Originally, there were still a few days before the first issue of "Weekly Shonen Jump" was completed and delivered for printing in November, and Hiroto Hamaguchi had plenty of time to slowly conceive the "side words" of "Midfield Core". However, he has already made up his mind to help "Midfield Core" succeed wholeheartedly, so he doesn't want to waste any more time and come up with the "side words" as soon as possible.

This way, if you have a good idea later, you can always modify it.
