After discussing it for a while, the editors of Kodansha quickly came to the same conclusion as the editors of Kodansha.

"A considerable number of our readers are students who do not have the financial means to do so, so they didn't buy this issue of Sunday because they wanted to save money to buy other magazines?"

Comic magazines are a product that has a high degree of circulation. The sales volume of "Weekly Youth Sunday" was 3.1 million, but the number of people who read this issue of the magazine in the whole of Dongying should at least triple or five.

After all, tomorrow is the day "Midfield Core" begins serialization. ”

As soon as these words came out, just like the reaction of the editorial department of "Weekly Shonen Magazine" on the other side, the entire office fell into a strange silence.

Because, these editors know, the probability of this hypothesis being true is really high.

From the previous TV show discussing the loose education reform, which then triggered a small **, to the later "Dragon Sakura" TV series broadcast, the Internet incident caused by it, the name "Qin Han" has been rising in the search engine, and on various social network platforms, discussions about him are also continuous.

Today, Qin Han's Twitter followers have reached more than two million, ranking eighth in the number of followers of Jeon-Young.

Qin Han is already one of the few "Internet celebrities" on the Dongying Internet. Moreover, he is not the kind of inferior Internet celebrity who is famous by hype, but a famous cartoonist with real materials.

Unlike ordinary cartoonists who only rely on their works to speak, Qin Han himself has extraordinary influence.

Moreover, after Qin Han joined "Weekly Shonen Jump", Shueisha carried out a wave of large-scale publicity, coupled with the Football Association's promotion of professional leagues, which also played a role in fueling the fire. Nowadays, many people's expectations for the comic "Midfield Core" have been reached: "Although there is this possibility, you don't have to make too many associations." We can't control what Shueisha does, so the key is to think about how to run our magazine. ”

At the beginning, he strongly advocated recruiting Qin Han to "Weekly Youth Sunday", but since this matter failed, he had nothing to say, only to do his job well.

Now I see that my subordinates are not as good as expected because of the sales growth, and they are a little worried about the situation of tomorrow's jump, so they speak out to boost morale.

Koichiro Inomata looked to the other side, a man sitting alone by the window, looking out at the night.

Shueisha and the Shogakukan headquarters are on the same street, so close enough to see each other. The direction the man was looking at was the Shueisha building.

"Takahashi, you are most familiar with the internal situation of Jump, and I heard that you almost became the editor in charge of Teacher Qin Han. How about "Midfield Core", why don't you give us an analysis?" said Koichiro Inomata.

The man looking out the window is none other than Tokuo Takahashi, who jumped from jump to the Shogakukan not long ago because of a job conflict.

In addition to his rich work experience and ability, Shogakukan took a fancy to him, because of his understanding of the biggest rival of "Weekly Shonen Jump".

"It's hard for me to judge how 'Halftime Core' is. Because in addition to the editors who are qualified to attend the serialization meeting, only the editor-in-charge of Mr. Qin Han can see the original manuscript of this comic in advance. By the way, there is also Mr. Qin Han's mentor, Mr. Hojo Tsukasa. Tokuo Takahashi thought for a moment and said.

However, everyone who has seen "Midfield Core" has given this comic a very high rating. It is said that Mr. Hojo once asserted that "Midfield Core" could even bring a million sales to "Weekly Shonen Jump". Mr. Hojo said this, perhaps exaggeratingly, or wanting to say good things to his students, but it also has a certain reference value. ”

These words must have exaggerated the value of "Midfield Core" a lot. Deputy editor-in-chief Isamu Konishi, who was unimpressed by Takahashi's words, said, "Our marketing department has evaluated the potential of "Detective Conan". When this manga reached its peak, it was able to help the sales of "Weekly Shonen Sunday" soar to four million! "Detective Conan" has the triple advantage of time, place, and people, and the talent of Mr. Aoyama Gomasa is also at the level of genius. I don't believe "Midfield Core" can match it. In this world, talented cartoonists and great works are not born so easily. ”

"Yes, it's a pity that Jump has at least four talented cartoonists and four great works right now. Tokuo Takahashi didn't give in.

The name of the Four Heavenly Kings of Jump is known to everyone in the industry.

Even if it is showing its decline now, "Saint Seiya", whose status is a little insecure, is still a top-notch manga that will make other magazines salivate.

Seeing that Isamu Konishi's face was a little ugly, Tokuo Takahashi did not give the other party.

He was recruited to the editorial office of "Weekly Shonen Sunday" by Shogakukan, and his status is detached, and he does not have a sense of fear of his position as an associate editor like other editors.

He continued: "Besides, according to my observation in the last six months, many people think that after the end of "Fist of the Big Dipper" and "City Hunter", there will be a dilemma of no successor, but the real situation is probably the opposite of what they think. In addition to the newly joined Qin Han, the two cartoonists Xiao Jian and Inoue Yuhiko are also noteworthy. Like the previous Aoyama Gosho, they are all at the stage where they are full of talent, but they have not yet found the most suitable manga theme for themselves. In the future, once they find a subject that they are good at, they will soar to the sky. In addition to these two people, Katsura Masakazu, who is serializing short stories on the Jump album, and Hirohiko Araki, who just won the award and debuted not long ago, are also newcomers with great potential. ”

"Many people thought that after the departure of Tsukasa Hojo and Tetsuo Hara, JUMP would decline. But I think the golden age of JUMP is about to begin!"

Takahashi's words made many editors look pensive.

Only Isamu Konishi disagreed.

"Takahashi, you're blowing too much of the jump. Did you deliberately say this in order to consolidate your position and make your boss look at it?"

"Hmph!" Tokuo Takahashi disdained to refute Isamu Konishi's questioning.

After his resignation at Shueisha, he was fed up with the high-pressure style of these large corporations, and wanted to take a break and use his connections to start a new business, or to become editor-in-chief of a small publishing house.

It's just that the attitude of the elementary school is very enthusiastic, so he accepted the invitation to work in the editorial department of Sunday.
