Qin Han didn't know how useful that decaying god card was, and what he was most concerned about now was the new issue of "young_animal" that was about to be released.

In addition to stakeholders such as Qin Han, there are also other people in the manga industry and ordinary readers who are very interested in the battle between Kodansha and Shirakusensha for "the first male-oriented youth manga magazine in Toei".

The well-known comic intelligence media "comic_fun" published an article on the Internet - "Fierce Fight! The Battle of Sekigahara in the Golden Autumn Manga World!! 》。

Putting aside the title that can only be written by the innate secondary temperament of the Dongying people, the content of this article is mainly based on the historical Sekigahara Battle as a metaphor to introduce this sales competition between magazines.

The article listed the cartoons that were being serialized in "young_animal" and "Weekly Morning", compared them one by one like the opposing armies, and also evaluated the strength of the two magazines in a matter-of-fact manner, and finally calculated the total combat effectiveness of the two magazines.

"There is no doubt that the most popular comic on "young_animal" is "Dragon Sakura" by Mr. Qin Han. First of all, I want to praise Mr. Qin Han's painting style is really amazing, in the words of fans, it has evolved into a new era, and it is the guiding light for the comic industry. Although this is a bit exaggerated, according to the survey, there are indeed many cartoonists who are studying the painting style of Qin and Han teachers. Maybe in the next few years, the painting style of the entire comic industry will change greatly. ”

Although the article praised the painting style of the Qin and Han dynasties at the beginning, it adopted the technique of first raising and then suppressing, and then, began to evaluate the comic "Dragon Sakura".

"The theme of the high school entrance examination is indeed a very new idea, and it can attract a group of readers in the early stage. However, the comics limit the stage and story to such a cramped range, and the pattern seems to be much smaller. For young people who have entered the society and broadened their horizons, can this freshness be sustained? And according to my analysis, the popularity of "Dragon Sakura" is now skyrocketing, largely due to the successful publicity operation of the White Spring Society. The commercial linkage with the exam reference book is indeed an eye-catching move. But after the craze fades, what about the real popularity of manga? ”

The article gave four stars to the "combat effectiveness" of "Dragon Sakura".

And when it comes to "Weekly Morning", the author is much more generous and does not hesitate to praise it.

"If there is any manga in Weekly Morning that can be compared to the fierce "Dragon Sakura", there is no doubt that it is the new serialization of Hirokane Kenshi-sensei's "Cultivation of the Section". is also a realistic theme, "Dragon Sakura" is only limited to student exams, while "Farming on Long Island" is about the workplace. Money deals, power struggles, complex relationships, how men balance family and career, and more. For readers of youth comic magazines, these plots are obviously more immersive, and they are also more likely to trigger dramatic conflicts and make the story move forward smoothly. ”

After the review, the author gave "Section Long Island Farming" a perfect score of five stars.

In addition to the pillar-level comics of these two respective magazines, the evaluation and scoring of other comics are also obviously biased towards "Weekly Morning".

And in the end, when talking about the two comics that "young_animal" is about to start serializing, "The Legend of Sword Wind" and "Diary of Husband and Wife Growth", the author doesn't have many good words.

"Looking at the promotional slogan of "Legend of Sword Wind", this comic obviously takes the dark fantasy route, wanting to use cheap blood and death as a selling point. To be honest, there are already too many such comics, I really don't know how "young_animal" made this kind of comic that is destined to be cut in half be serialized? As for "Husband and Wife Growth Diary", it's just another "young_animal" typical style, relying on sensory stimulation and H content to attract readers. ”

Finally, the article concludes.

"In this battle for the number one seller of youth comic magazines, although "young_animal" has been gaining momentum recently, with sales exceeding one million, it is constantly closing the distance with "Weekly Morning". But in terms of comic content, "young_animal" is still not as good as the more profound "Weekly Morning". "Dragon Sakura" will soon be caught up by "Cultivation on the Island of the Division", and what makes the editors of "young_animal" even more headache is that they will never be able to come up with another manga that can match "Dragon Sakura". ”

Although the article published by "comic_fun" analyzes a lot and seems to be full of dry goods, it is actually full of bias.

Many of the readers who read the article, in addition to loyal fans of Weekly Morning, questioned it.

""Dragon Sakura" relied on commercial hype to gain its popularity today? The author is talking complete nonsense! ”

"Let's be honest, author, you haven't read "Dragon Sakura" at all, how much money did you charge Kodansha for writing this bullshit article?"

"It's really funny, this idiot author actually said that everyone has experienced no sense of substitution in the student days and exams, but the kind of intrigue in the comic workplace that pours a cup of tea, and the plot that will be upside down when you meet a beautiful female subordinate is very real."

"This kind of article published with money has no position at all!"

"It's just that the double standard is slippery. The author's "Farming on the Long Island" obviously has *** and dew point content as soon as it comes up, but he actually has the face to look down on "young_animal"? ”

The phenomenon of inflammation in the comment area of the article is intensifying.

Maybe it's because of the unbearable abuse, or maybe it's because he wants to clarify that he is not receiving money to post articles, and the author of the article with the pen name "Bi Feng Taro" began to post explanations in person.

However, his explanation is not convincing, and even in the words of the Chinese, there is a suspicion of washing the floor for himself. Many fans of "comic_fun" also joined the fray to fight back against netizens who attacked Taro Bi.

The situation is getting worse.

In the end, Bi Feng Taro was forced to be anxious, and even released cruel words: "If "young_animal" can win "Weekly Morning", I will eat the keyboard!" ”

Then, the largest portal, Yahoo Toying, launched a poll.

""young_animal" and "Weekly Morning", who can win the throne of the No. 1 selling youth comic magazine?"

Many otaku and comic book lovers have participated in the voting, and many of them are related to canvassing for votes, which are comparable to spy war dramas, so I won't go into details.

On the day of the magazine's release, at more than ten o'clock in the evening, the editorial office of Baiquanshe's "young_animal" was still brightly lit.

This flash report on the sales of the magazine can be described as the most significant since the establishment of "young_animal". So every editor volunteered to stay overtime, wanting to witness that historic moment.

Xiong Zexin, as the editor in charge of Qin Han, was even more nervous at this time. She held her mobile phone tightly, ready to wait for the sales results to come out, and immediately call Qin Han to report the good news.

She has immense confidence in "Dragon Sakura" and has no doubt that "young_animal" may surpass "Weekly Morning".

Finally, the employees of the marketing department appeared in the editorial office out of breath.

"Whew...... Whew......"

The long, rapid panting made people anxious.

The editors did not say a word, silently waiting for the results.

"The sales report is out, and the first-day sales in Tokyo are 450,000!"

"What is the sales volume of this issue of Weekly Morning?"

"1.12 million, we won!"
