Thinking that he could sulk for a long time, Toshima Ryuzo is looking forward to the day when the single book will be released.

Toshima Ryuzo believes that he not only has a huge advantage in publicity, but also in the popularity of the work itself, "Raiden Swordsman" is also far better than "Dragon Sakura".

The juvenile comic he created has been published in the 10th volume of the single book, with an average sales of 1.03 million volumes, and a cumulative total sales of more than 10 million, which is a veritable hot-selling comic.

And compared to "Saint Seiya", which is gradually declining in sales, and one volume is not as good as one volume, he believes that he is one of the future Jump Four Heavenly Kings.

"Juvenile comics are king, youth comics or something, the audience is too small, if it is published, most of them are also the first printing of one or two thousand. Even if it really encounters a once-in-a-decade hit, the first print will be 200,000 at most. Moreover, this is only at the level of the middle of JUMP, but for youth manga, it is almost the limit. What does Qin Han compare to a best-selling cartoonist like me?"

Toshima Ryuzo considers himself a first-class manga artist of JUMP, and his judgment of the industry is very accurate, and he does not believe that "Dragon Sakura" can break common sense and perform amazingly when its promotional resources are greatly deprived.

He picked up the wine glass and drank it down, completely immersed in the drunken gold.

…………

Qin Han still maintained a state of serious work every day, and actively cooperated with the propaganda strategy of the Baiquan Society. If you sell one more book, you will earn an extra 54 yen.

It's about the wallet, although he is a little tired, Qin Han is also willing to do it.

Moreover, he also took the initiative to use his network influence to carry out the promotion of a single book, often engaged in some interactive and lottery activities, and tried to brush up his presence on social networks every day to maintain his topic.

Volumes of ink-scented monographs are born from the printing factory and transported to warehouses, waiting for the day when they will be shipped to bookstores across the country to meet readers.

Time flowed quietly through Qin Han's fingertips holding the pen like this.

Soon, it was December 10th.

It's Saturday and I don't have to go to school. As a junior high school student who is facing the entrance exam in more than a month, Takayasu Endo did not go to cram school, but planned to take a day off at home.

Since the last time he saw the comic "Dragon Sakura" on "young_animal" in the bookstore, he has become a loyal reader of Qin and Han.

Especially after starting to learn ancient Chinese according to the method in the book, Takayasu Endo's Chinese performance improved by leaps and bounds, which surprised both teachers and classmates.

Now, thanks to the blessing of "Dragon Sakura", Takayasu Endo's deviation value has reached 75, and if he wants to be admitted to the science department of Todai University, if he plays normally, not to mention nine out of ten, at least seven or eight percent of him is sure.

It is precisely because of this self-confidence that he dares to take a day off today.

For a long time, Takayasu Endo has been compressing his sleep time and studying hard. Today is a rare rest, he slept beautifully, and also had a dream: next year, he and the girl he liked, met in front of the famous red door of the University of Tokyo, and the two of them lived a happy campus life ever since......

It was already noon when I woke up. After eating the lunch left by his mother, Endo stayed by the TV, turned on NHK, and swiped Twitter while waiting for the documentary series "The Manga Kingdom Completely Revealed" to air.

Today's first episode will introduce the manga industry from the perspective of a manga artist.

There are three manga artists who appear in the documentary - the manga god Osamu Tezuka, the most famous female manga artist in Toei, Rumiko Takahashi, and the newly rising fanmanga artist Qin Han.

Of course, the evaluation of Qin Han was already a few months ago.

Now, when introducing Mr. Qin Han, "new rise" should be replaced with "great popularity", and his creative field is not only limited to the fandom world, but also has made extraordinary achievements in commercial comics.

While waiting for the documentary to play, Takayasu Endo was using his mobile phone to swipe the 2ch forum.

In the comics section, in the special building of "Dragon Sakura", many Qin and Han fans like him have begun a heated discussion.

2ch Because of the forum mechanism, a post can only have 1,000 replies, and after that, it can only open a new building for discussion. Therefore, the number of discussion buildings built is also one of the criteria for measuring the popularity of a topic.

In just two months, six buildings have been built in the discussion building of "Dragon Sakura", which is quite popular among the recent new comics.

And the peculiar thing is that there are not only messages related to the content of the comics and other works of the Qin and Han dynasties, but also many discussions about learning.

This is a very peculiar phenomenon.

Endo Ryūyasu posted a reply in the special building: "According to the method introduced in "Dragon Sakura" to learn ancient texts, my deviation value has increased to 75, and the science department of Tokyo University is at your fingertips. Do you have anything you want to ask?"

His post immediately drew a large number of replies.

"Really? No. ”

"Could it be that in the abandoned house of 2CH, there will really be a Dongda elite?"

"Are you too dazzled and see 15 as 75?"

"The learning methods in Dragon Sakura are really that useful? It's a pity that I'm already working. But I can introduce it to my younger brother. ”

"Don't get your hopes up too much upstairs, the so-called 'learning method' is like a hair growth agent for baldness, and the effect varies from person to person. ”

"Awesome. I am in my first year of high school this year, and I am inspired by "Dragon Sakura", and I am also planning to study hard and strive to be admitted to the University of Tokyo. When the time comes, I will become an elite in society, and the bitches in the school who originally looked down on me will also beg me to snap, right?"

"Don't dream, you are a ruined house with disgusting thoughts, even if you become the prime minister in the future, no woman will look up to you!"

The discussion was very lively, and of course, it was inevitable that the indifference and poisonous tongue of the 2ch specialty were inevitable.

Eventually, NHK TV began broadcasting the long-awaited documentary.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"I can finally understand Mr. Qin Han's private life, I'm so excited, I have a kind of voyeuristic pleasure! ”

"Are you a in Shinjuku 2-chome?"

"Quit mobile phones from now on, and discuss it after watching the documentary. ”

Soon, the discussion thread, which was originally built quickly, became deserted.

Takayasu Endo also put down his phone and stared at the TV intently, for fear of missing a picture.

…………

An hour later, the documentary was played, and Takayasu Endo's highly concentrated mind relaxed.

"So this is the life of a manga artist!" Endo Takayasu said to himself, "Although Mr. Qin Han dropped out of school halfway, after all, he was born at the University of Tokyo, and in the secret interview, the conversation, demeanor, and knowledge he showed were extraordinary. It seems that it is a wise decision for me to choose to take the entrance examination to the University of Tokyo, and I also want to become a person like Teacher Qin Han!"
