059 Magazine on sale

"Don't, the girls of AKB are so cute, the cover has been set a long time ago, why change it casually!" The dissenting editor, still holding his own shot, almost rolled on the floor.

"Decent! Idol Kitchen! I think you're a fake public and private, and you want to take the opportunity to meet your idol! Editor-in-chief Hetian glanced at his subordinates and scolded.

So, things were decided so happily.

"Editor-in-chief Hetian, I have a suggestion." Xiong Zexin raised his hand and said.

"Say it, Little Bear."

Xiong Zexin opened his notebook: "I discussed it with Teacher Qin Han, and I think the promotional slogan of the comic is 'Xueba teaches you to take the entrance examination to the University of Tokyo', which is very good." ”

"What does 'Xueba' mean?" The editors looked at each other.

It seems that this word is not included in the Chinese buzzwords that Dongying people are familiar with.

"Meaning, the overlord of learning. A character like Oda Nobunaga! ”

Using the simple and easy-to-understand history of the Warring States period as a metaphor, everyone suddenly nodded their heads to show that it was clear.

Well, that's a loud slogan. Editor-in-chief Hetian rubbed his chin and nodded, "By the way, I heard you say that Mr. Qin Han was admitted to Tokyo University before, but he dropped out of school just to become a cartoonist, right?" ”

"Yes."

Because of his work, Xiong Zexin has met Qin Han many times, so he has a certain understanding of his background.

"In this case, you should discuss with Mr. Qin Han whether you can add a short interview with the author to the 19th issue of the magazine, introduce yourself, and then talk about your creative experience. Teacher Qin Han's identity as a student of Dong Da can also be properly stirred up. With this identity as a guarantee, readers will also be more convinced of the authenticity of the comics. ”

"Understood!"

All departments of the White Springs Club are working together for the comic "Dragon Sakura", which debuted in the 19th issue of "young_animal".

Time flickered, and soon it was October 13th.

A manga review was published on the blog of Yoshihiro Yonezawa, a well-known manga critic and known as a "living manga encyclopedia".

"This manga is so good—if I had read Ryuzakura in high school, I would have graduated from Tokyo University by now (laughs)."

Before the magazine goes public, the cartoonists who serialize it in the current issue, as well as some famous critics who have a good relationship with the publishing house, will receive a sample issue of the magazine in advance.

Yoshihiro Yonezawa receives many sample issues of manga magazines every week, and countless people beg him to write reviews of the manga published in his magazine.

If there is a good word or two of praise from this great god, then the comic has a great chance of becoming popular.

However, for the sake of his long-term reputation, Yoshihiro Yonezawa will never talk nonsense with money. This time, for the sake of Qin Han's face, I read "Dragon Sakura" and felt that this was indeed an excellent comic, so I wrote a comment.

"First of all, let me introduce the comic author Qin Han. A top student who was admitted to the University of Tokyo, but dropped out of school to become a cartoonist for his dream. He published a few short stories in JUMP, and then entered the doujin world. Under the pen name of Lao Qinren, he released the work "Daily Assured Milk". With a groundbreaking and excellent art style, it has set off a wave of popularity at the summer CM. And set a sales record in the tiger's den. After that, he won the Cultural Affairs Agency Drawing Contest with his unique and elegant ink style comics. ”

"This time, when I learned that Mr. Qin Han was going to draw commercial comics in Baiquan Society, my first reaction was to worry, for fear that the same world would lose an excellent creator. Fortunately, Mr. Qin Han has repeatedly promised that he will continue to create doujinshi, otherwise I wouldn't recommend his comics (laughs). ”

"Unlike Mr. Qin Han's astonishing fine painting skills at first sight, the content of the comic "Dragon Sakura" is quite simple and real, telling the story of a high school student who was admitted to the University of Tokyo. That's right, the topic is about studying, exams, and going on to higher education, which you and I have experienced. It is completely different from the so-called dark tone, deep thoughts, and cruel endings that are now flooded with youth comics. It's like coming from a crowded train at 7:30 in the morning to the beautiful scenery of the Tama River, where cherry blossoms are fluttering, and it is refreshing and bright. ”

In the first two episodes, the comics have a non-esoteric analysis of social rules, which are simple and straightforward, but can move people's hearts. If I had a teacher like Kenji Sakuragi, the main character of the manga, in my high school days, I would definitely not be a ruined house that reads manga all day (laughs). Moreover, according to the author himself, many techniques for entering the University of Tokyo will be told in the manga in the future, which are based on the author's experience at the time, and are 100% authentic and practical. If you want to take the entrance examination to Tokyo University next year, you can read "Dragon Sakura" as a reference book. ”

Yoshihiro Yonezawa's blog has caused quite a stir on the Internet.

Many people were successful by Amway and said that they must buy "young_animal" tomorrow.

Of course, there are also some who suspect that Yoshihiro Yonezawa took money or wrote this recommendation out of favor. There was even a brainless black spray that "Dragon Sakura" was a garbage comic when the magazine was not on the market.

Of course, the demons on these networks are still very limited in their impact on reality.

Friday, October 14.

Early in the morning, Hiroshi Yamauchi began to get busy, putting volumes of magazines sealed in plastic packaging on the shelves.

He is the manager of a Lawson convenience store located near Shibuya Station on the Yamanote Line, which has a lot of traffic. As a result, Hiroshi Yamauchi's daily work is not easy.

"Fortunately, yesterday's JUMP release day has passed, so today should be more leisurely, and you don't have to stare at the magazine shelves all the time to prepare for restocking."

In this era when the whole people read manga, the shelves of manga magazines are one of the areas with the highest turnover of convenience stores, and Hiroshi Yamauchi also attaches great importance to it.

There aren't too many manga magazines on sale on Friday, and there aren't many heavyweights except for the two magazines of Fangbunsha and Hakusensha.

Unlike Thursday, there is the big Buddha of "Weekly Shonen Jump". It's also not like Wednesday, where there are "Weekly Shonen Sunday" and "Weekly Shonen Magazine", the two oldest and third in the shonen manga industry.

After a while, the unique opening music of Lawson's convenience store sounded, and Hiroshi Yamauchi reflexively shouted, "Welcome!" ”

The customer was a young man in a suit and leather shoes, who seemed to be buying magazines between work.

He picked up a copy of "young_animal", paused for a moment, and asked, "Store manager, what's going on?" Shouldn't the cover be HKT's Matsuoka-chan? ”

What AKB, HKT, ordinary people who can tell clearly! I don't know much about your idol chefs.

Yamauchi Hiroshi secretly complained in his heart, but said respectfully: "I'm sorry, we don't know what's going on at the convenience store, so you better ask the magazine." ”

The young man also knew that it was a bit stupid to ask the convenience store clerk, but he still paid for it: "Forget it, the cover of this issue is quite good, I have never seen this style of painting." New manga "Dragon Sakura"? Author: Qin Han? It's kind of interesting. ”

After the young man in the suit left, another group of people soon came.

As if they had made an appointment, one of them went to the shelf and took a copy of "young_animal".
