"Haha, really? I heard that Qin Han is left-handed, so what is he going to fight with me?" When this contest is over, I'll give you the comic script. ”

Although Sanshan Liang had a little disbelief in his heart, he still held on to the last hope and thanked him repeatedly.

After hanging up the phone, Toshima Ryuzo was overflowing with pride.

It's a great day!

He took the time to come to the JUMP editorial office today because he wanted to discuss the animation of "Raiden Swordsman" with the animation company.

As the first person under the four kings of JUMP, the representative of the new generation in the field of shonen manga, Toshima Ryuzo can be described as proud.

The recently published third volume of the single book "Thunderbolt Swordsman" has sold more than one million copies.

With an average of 1 million copies per volume, it is the threshold for first-class cartoonists.

Moreover, after the animation, it also has a great effect on the popularity of the original work, and the sales of the single book can go to a higher level.

Toshima Ryuzo feels that the opportunity has come, and it's time to give it a try!

Therefore, after receiving the invitation to participate in the competition from the Department of Culture, he agreed to come down despite the busy serial work.

If you can win the competition, you will be able to participate in the shooting of NHK documentaries along with the big names in the manga industry, such as Osamu Tezuka and Rumiko Takahashi. This is undoubtedly a huge boost to his popularity.

"The position of the Four Heavenly Kings of JUMP, it's time to change people to sit down. "Ryuzo Toshima is ambitious.

Among the Four Heavenly Kings of JUMP, Akira Toriyama has an unshakable position. The other three have their own strengths.

Recently, Masami Cheda's "Saint Seiya", because of the routine plot mode and the lack of surprises and changes, has gradually declined in popularity.

Although it is still firmly in fourth place, in the readers' vote, the gap with the fifth place "Thunderbolt Swordsman" has become smaller and smaller.

Ryuzo Toshima saw an opportunity.

"Hmph, Qin Han was actually invited to participate in this painting competition, and those bureaucrats in the Cultural Department are really blind. I'm the first of the new generation of manga artists who will take over the throne of the Four Heavenly Kings of JUMP, and he's just a fanart who doesn't make it to the stream......"

Ryuzo Toshima imagined the appearance of trampling his opponent under his feet, and he was very happy.

He left the break room and went to the conference room, where he quickly finalized the animation of Raiden Swordsman.

After sending off the people from the animation company, Toshima Ryuzo said to his editor Hamamaguchi: "Hamaguchi, it's finally animated, how about going to Ginza for a drink tonight, and calling a few more escort ladies to celebrate and celebrate!"

"Mr. Toshima, you haven't handed in your NAME this week, and it's not too late to celebrate when you're done. ”

"Got it. Hamaguchi, you're really dedicated. Toshima Ryuzo patted the other party's shoulder, but he didn't think so.

"It's just a small editor, except for Rory's chatter every day, where do you know what a manga is? Only an editor at the level of Kazuhiko Torishima is worthy of me. ”

It's good to say that he dismissed the plan of Toshima Ryuzo to celebrate the carnival, and Hamaguchi came to the deputy editor's office to report on the signing of the animation.

Kazuhiko Torishima, a meritorious editor who discovered Akira Toriyama, was promoted to associate editor of JUMP after the retirement of his former associate editor due to illness.

In the JUMP editorial department, he is an idol and role model for many editors, and Hamaguchi is no exception.

When he pushed the door open and walked into the office, he found Kazuhiko Torishima looking intently at a comic book.

"The girl on this cover is so cute! The use of color is simply amazing! And this style of painting is unheard of. Which master's work is it?"

Hamaguchi took a closer look at the manga cover: "Everyday Assured Milk? Looking at the cover design, it should not be a single book or magazine. Is it doujinshi?"

Kazuhiko Torishima noticed Hamaguchi's gaze and said with a smile, "This is a work sent by Tsuchiya, which Qin Han sold at the summer CM Doujin Exhibition. ”

For Qin Han, an unlucky child who was angered by the top management of Shueisha and was banned because of multiple submissions, Hamaguchi also heard about it.

And Tsuchiya is the editor of Tsukasa Hojo, and Tsukasa Hojo was a teacher of Qin and Han, and this relationship is naturally clear to Hamaguchi.

"Could it be that the top management of Shueisha has relented and lifted the ban on Qin Han?"

Hamaguchi didn't know about the dirty things about Ryuzo Toshima, but he just thought it would be a great thing if such a talented young manga artist could return to JUMP.

Kazuhiko Torishima seemed to see through Hamaguchi's thoughts: "It's not that simple. We, the editors, are only responsible for the content of the magazine. However, the affairs of the Qin and Han dynasties involved the foundation of Shueisha. ”

In the manga industry, "Weekly Shonen Jump" is a latecomer ten years late than the other two major shonen manga magazines. The reason why JUMP was able to catch up and complete the counterattack and become the king of the publishing industry is due to JUMP's innovative manga artist exclusive contract system.

At that time, it was this system that firmly tied many talented manga artists to JUMP's chariots, and it was possible to achieve great success.

For the top management, the exclusive contract system for manga artists is the cornerstone of Shueisha's foothold. Therefore, Qin Han, a guy who broke the rules, will be ruthlessly blocked.

"I can't interfere with the ideas of the big people above, unless I become the editor-in-chief, I can have a voice in front of those shareholders. Kazuhiko Torishima looked at the doujinben in his hand and showed a relieved expression, "However, after Qin Han encountered this kind of thing, he still did not leave the comic world, and like a phoenix, he made great progress." I am very happy. ”

He put the same book down: "Recently, Qin Han's new work released on Twitter, you can take a look. It is said to have been appreciated by Ryotsun Xuesai. ”

"Ryozen Xuezhai, that Ryozen Xuezhai!?" Hamaguchi was dumbfounded.

At this moment, an editor hurriedly broke into the office: "Big news! News from the Ministry of Personnel, the editor-in-chief is likely to be transferred to the headquarters to be responsible for copyright development!"

The gossip news of personnel changes caught the entire JUMP editorial department off guard.

At this time, Toshima Ryuzo, who had just returned home, fell from the clouds to the valley.

He held the mobile phone, gritted his teeth and said, "What a hand, Qin Han, this guy!"

Looking at Qin Han's ink-style figure that sparked heated discussions, Toshima Ryuzo felt a real threat.

"Ryo Sansugi is really not enough to achieve, more than to fail! Is this a work that an injured person can paint?!"

In fact, he wronged Sanshan Liang.

The former Qin Han was indeed a left-hander. But the Qin and Han dynasties who crossed over were accustomed to using their right hands. How could Sanshan Ryo know about this kind of thing?

Toshima Ryuzo briefly browsed the Internet and found that Qin Han's ink painting of Yamamoto Kansuke had caused an astonishing influence. If the opponent also uses this unique ink technique when participating in the competition, then there is no doubt that they will win the championship.

"I have to find a way to do it, so I won't lose to a mere fanfiction artist!"
