080 Hakusensha's celebration party

Takayasu Endo sat at his desk all night. It wasn't until the next morning, when his mother knocked on the door and told him to come downstairs for breakfast, that Takayasu Endo recovered from that state of being addicted to studying.

Looking at the reading outline of "The Tale of Genji", which has written a thick book, he has an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.

"The learning methods in "Dragon Sakura" are really useful! After studying classical Chinese all night, I don't have the feeling of being daunted and dizzy before!"

Although I stayed up all night, the whole person felt a little light, but the spirit was exceptionally good, and I was not tired at all.

Takayasu Endo took out his mobile phone and left a message on Qin Han's Twitter.

"Teacher Qin Han, I am a senior high school student who is facing the problem of going on to higher education. By chance, I read your manga "Dragon Sakura" and followed the above method to learn classical Chinese. For me, it was like opening the door to a new world! Bunkan, which used to be more difficult for me to conquer than Mt. Fuji, is now less difficult!"

In fact, in addition to Takayasu Endo, there are many readers like him, who follow the methods in the manga to learn classical Chinese and receive the effect, have left messages.

So much so that within a few days of the magazine's release, Qin Han's Twitter style changed abruptly. What used to be a place where a group of fans licked and licked wildly at Oupai, who loved sauce, and Rin Tosaka, but now it has suddenly become a place where a large group of college entrance examinees exchange learning experiences and complain.

Of course, this is not a bad thing.

As the magazine sold well, the comics continued to be popular, and Qin Han also gained a large number of new fans.

One week after the release of the 20th issue of young_animal, October 30, the day of the dawn (Sunday).

Qin Han specially cleaned himself up, cut his hair, shaved his beard, and found a suit that he hadn't worn for a long time.

The sales statistics of the twentieth issue of "young_animal" have come out.

The flash report was 350,000, and the total sales volume was 1,067,000.

Finally, this semi-monthly youth comic magazine, with the efforts of countless people, with the popular "Dragon Sakura", crossed the 1 million sales mark and officially became one of the best-selling magazines.

For this reason, the Hakusensha decided to hold a grand celebration party to bring together the cartoonists of "young_animal", as well as the editorial department and other staff members to celebrate.

The celebration was held at the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo.

This garden-style hotel in Bunkyo District has been rated as the No. 1 hotel in Asia, and is top-notch in terms of both environment and service. It is the first time that the White Springs Society chose to hold a celebration here.

After coming to the venue of the celebration party, Qin Han found that there were already many people, but as a "newcomer" cartoonist of "young_animal", he did not have many acquaintances at the venue.

So Qin Han focused his attention on food.

The White Springs Club has invested heavily in this celebration and specially invited six chefs, two of whom are Japanese, two Western, and two Chinese.

Attendees were able to feast on sushi, BBQ, and a variety of exquisite Cantonese dim sum.

Qin Han took a plate, picked out some favorite food, and found a corner to eat slowly.

But it didn't take long for this quiet time to enjoy the food to an end.

"Teacher Qin Han, it turns out that you are here. You are the biggest contributor to the sales of "young_animal" to exceed one million, and I will invite you to speak on stage in a moment. ”

Editor-in-chief Hetian greeted him with a smile on his face, followed by a slightly bald middle-aged man.

"No way, the food was so tasty. ”

"If you like it, it's fine. Ah, this is the president of our Shirasensha, Mr. Hihisa Asakusa. ”

"Teacher Qin Han, we are really lucky to have a cartoonist like you join us in Baiquan Club. "Dragon Sakura" is an excellent manga, and we will continue to fully promote this work in the future, and actively expand the IP, so please give us a lot of advice. ”

"Please advise. ”

After sending off the president, the vice president came, and then the leaders of various departments of the White Spring Society.

The Qin and Han dynasties were like stars holding the moon, and they became the center of the venue. After greeting politely for a while, I thought I could finally take a breath, but his editor-in-charge Xiong Zexin came again.

"Little bear, wait until I finish eating this custard bun first, I am usually busy with work at home, I haven't eaten well, and I am busy with work, and I only have a total of eight hours of sleep a week. Once I had low back pain, I had to lie on the tatami mat and draw for a day. I finally took a break today, and please don't disturb me who made my dreams come true. ”

"Teacher Qin Han!" Xiong Zexin couldn't help but laugh, "Please don't exaggerate your hard work." At least, you're a lot more relaxed than an office worker like me. Every time I come to pick up a manuscript, you're either playing a game, you're watching TV, and by the way, there's a beauty assistant!"

"Just kidding. Qin Han smiled and put the plate down. What he just said is just a joke about the liver explosion work of many cartoonists.

"Teacher Qin Han arranges his time reasonably and works efficiently, which can not only create excellent comics like "Dragon Cherry", but also fully enjoy the leisurely life, which is really enviable. A tall, thin, well-dressed man said.

At this time, Qin Han found out that there was still someone beside Xiong Zexin.

"Where, where, you have won the prize. Qin Han glanced at the other party and suddenly said, "Huh." Aren't you Tamagawa-san?"

This is the man who spent 17 million yen to buy the first version of "New Treasure Island" from Qin Han.

I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

"Hey, you two knew each other before?"

"Yes, there are some personal relationships. ”

"I see, those two can talk more. Mr. Tamagawa is very interested in Mr. Qin Han's "Dragon Sakura". Xiong Zexin said.

In addition to the employees of Shirasensha and the cartoonists of "young_animal", there were also people from other industries who participated in the celebration today, and even the five major private TV stations in Toei - TV Asahi, TV Fuji, TBS, TV RB, and TV Tokyo.

Although "young_animal" is a very good male-oriented youth comic magazine, the real strength of Baiquan Club is still in the field of shoujo comics.

Its three major shoujo manga magazine brands, "Flowers and Dreams", "Lala", and "MELODY", occupy a large share of the Dongying women's comic market.

Including Qin and Han, the male cartoonists of "young_animal" actually belong to the minority in front of the huge women's army of Baiquan Society.

Because the subject matter mostly involves love and reality, it is relatively easy for shoujo manga to be adapted in a live-action manner. In the past few years, many comics have been adapted into TV series or movies, and it has established a good relationship with major TV stations and film companies.

If you judge it by Qin Han's original intention of creating "Dragon Sakura" - "to provide two girls with an excellent original work, adapt it into a TV series and star in it", in fact, coming to Baiquan Club to draw manga is a more correct choice than going to Kodansha.
