Chapter 9 This Is a Strong Alliance (1)

In GOSICK's work, many of the developments can be triggered by the macro environment. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The biggest background of the story is that the First World War has ended, and the Second World War is coming.

At the same time, in terms of the background of the times, the obscurantism of the old era is still there, and modern science has not yet been fully popularized, so there will be an important supporting role such as an alchemist.

These settings largely determine how the storyline will unfold.

For example, in the world war, the Kingdom of Suvar is a small European country, and in order to protect itself in the event of a war that will affect the whole of Europe, the country has to make a choice before the war - choose to participate in the war as an ally of the victorious country.

And how can such a choice be made beforehand? The kingdom chose to use witchcraft for divination.

Thus the Kingdom of Suval became an Entente and eventually the victor in the war.

And before the Second World War, they still wanted to make a prejudgment.

In order to be able to make the right choice again this time, the nobles of the kingdom need to be highly intelligent to make war predictions.

And this "superb wisdom" refers to the descendants of the "ancient gray wolf", who has the terrifying wisdom of the "young wolf", that is, the heroine of the story, Victoria.

She is a "weapon" prepared for the world war, and her wisdom is the basis for the kingdom's judgment, so she is imprisoned in this academy and has no freedom.

At the beginning of the story, she is not like a doll, in another sense, she is indeed a doll.

Since she was a child, her dark encounters have caused her to always use reason and wisdom as the benchmark for evaluating everything, until she meets Kazuya Kushiro.

In fact, GOSICK's work is not about reasoning, but about how such a "gray wolf" with supernormal intelligence recreates the story of a girl who turns back into a human.

Therefore, the emotional line of the work is more important than the logic of reasoning.

But at this time, the monthly magazine ME only serialized a single sentence of the work, and the more complex content had not yet been revealed, and readers only saw that it told a very simple case, so their comments were like this.

"I'll admit that the heroine is very cute, but is this actually a mystery comic? But the idea of the case ...... To be honest, I don't think I'm very smart, but I can see at a glance that the maid in the story is the murderer, so what's the point of the heroine doing so much analysis? ”

"Are the cops all idiots series?"

"I feel that Mr. Baimu Ghost Jing's brain is used to draw characters, and I don't have time to conceive cases, so reasoning works are more brain-consuming after all."

"I still hope that the case can be cleverly conceived, at least not so that readers can see who the murderer is at a glance."

"I don't admit that the work is a reasoning direction, if GOSICK is a reasoning comic, then Koala's life is a heroic ......"

"Actually, don't look at the koala, it's a rampaging animal."

"I think it's beautiful, and it would be nice to look at it as a love comic."

"Yes, isn't it okay for the heroine to be cute, where are there so many requirements? Instead of watching magical elementary school students solve crimes, it's better to watch the cute heroine talk nonsense. ”

"Anyway, after reading this work, I think I can also draw mystery comics, or do mystery original cases."

"This is the first word, it's too early for you to make a judgment, maybe it's just an appetizer for the introduction, and the plot will be the same as that of the ancient city of Thorns."

After the first episode of the new work was published, readers' discussions mainly focused on the events and reasoning itself, after all, the methods of the case are indeed not high-end, and the process of solving the case is also a bit sorry for the logic.

As for what God is looking forward to in the case after that? I'm sorry, the reasoning of this work is at such a level from beginning to end, and if you want to see a brain hole like the King of Thorns in the ancient city, you really can't find it here.

Because of the success of the movie, the work of the ancient city of Thorn King is quite influential in the suspense thriller mystery comics.

However, from the discussion of these readers, it can also be found that it is now 98 years ago, the style of comics has begun to move towards a universal transformation, readers have higher and higher requirements for the details of comics, the pursuit of exquisite characters, beautiful pictures, and more reasonable storyboards are the requirements of readers for comics, and have also become the requirements of comic magazines for cartoonists.

In response to this change, some editors who have been at Hibiscus for a long time often jokingly refer to the current manga industry, especially the shoujo manga industry, which is undergoing a "Simirillization" reform.

It's not that they put gold on the face of the Hibiscus Society, in fact, there is nothing wrong with calling it that, after all, in terms of painting style, Simariel is an absolute pioneer, as early as three or four years ago, it was the current style, and in terms of tendency, it is indeed worth learning from other comic magazines.

For Miyahara Shizune, the modifications he made to GOSICK's work are similar to the animated version, and compared with the original work, he has removed a lot of things that are too spiritual, such as "gray wolves" like Victoria, and the setting that he will die if he leaves the land where he lives, because he doesn't want the work to become too mysterious, and his reasoning may be criticized for being untenable, and if you add that kind of setting, the work is indeed a bit too "varied".

As for the reader's comments that appear after the first episode, he can certainly see them, but he does not intend to revise them, because he does not want the reader to concentrate too much on the reasoning process.

GOSICK has a clear story line, and the reasoning part is just a push for the whole story to reveal the content step by step and move towards a reasonable final ending.

I believe that some readers' dissatisfaction or criticism of the work will gradually improve with the serialization of the story.

…………

If the internal space of the previous office of the Hibiscus Society was not bad, and it was a bit crowded after the establishment of the editorial office of the weekly ME, then now, the office building of the Hibiscus Society has been crowded to the point where it is impossible to do it.

Even so, there are still some departments that rent office space outside.

For a publishing house, different departments do not work together, which is indeed inconvenient, so Miyahara decided to change the gun.

This is still being planned.

Since finishing her studies, Miyahara Shizune has been coming to the Hibiscus Club on time during the day, and now she even draws manga in her office.

Recently, he has been busy with things that can be summarized as the animation Oda Shinna, the start of serialization of the new work GOSICK, the beginning of the story of FATE, and the 4th Hibiscus Society Manga Awards.

"Jingjun, there is an original manuscript that we can't make up our minds, I want you to take a look."

On this day, Akizuki opened the door of Miyahara Shizuki's office.

Shizu Miyahara is the general manager of the manga award, so Daisuke Akizuki needs to give him a look when he has a work that he can't get accurate.
