"How many manuscripts have been selected for publication?" Shizune Miyahara asked the editor-in-chief of Daisuke Akizuki. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the first issue of Godot, 20 to 25 manuscripts will be published, but the editorial office does not have a strict number of pages for submission, so it is still unknown how many works will be needed.

A manga magazine needs an appropriate number of pages, such as weekly shonen manga on the market, although different manga publishers make different weekly magazines have different styles, but basically every weekly magazine has 20 comic works, and the page number of the official content should be between 360 and 400 pages.

Such publishing rules will form a specific reading habit for readers, they are used to how many pages a weekly magazine should have, and how many pages a monthly magazine should have, and a magazine that is too thick or too thin may be unaccustomed to readers who are familiar with general magazines, so it depends on whether to wait for 25 or 20 books.

The reason why Miyahara Jing asked such a question was not that he was in a hurry, but that he felt that since the editorial team had received so many original manuscripts, there would always be one or two that could catch the eye, right?

Otherwise, there will be no quantity and no quality, and that is a very sad thing.

Because that means that there are so many cartoonists in Hibiscus, but the overall quality of the manuscript and the standard of the cartoonists are not high, which is not good news for any manga publishing house.

"At present, several works of good quality have been determined, but most of them are between what is possible and indispensable, and we still have to see how the quality of the original manuscript is in the back to make a judgment, but there is a thriller and horror short story is an exception, which has won the unanimous affirmation of the editorial team, and it is the first work that has been determined." Daisuke Akizuki hurriedly said.

"Horror horror? Thriller and not gore indeed? Miyahara asked, the subject having an urge to frown.

Rookie cartoonists tend to confuse these two different concepts, many people equate horror with gore, and the works they come up with are often the entire original manuscript is bloody, but in fact, the degree of horror is very limited, and that style of painting can only make the reader's senses uncomfortable and disgusted, and cannot cause horror that penetrates into the reader's psychological level.

Works that can really frighten people's hearts and sweat coldly, focus more on using atmosphere creation to show horror, rather than relying on the blood and hysterical screams of the plot characters, many horror-oriented works that go deep into the psychological level, and even from beginning to end, there will be no culprit that causes horror, just rendering the horror itself, mystery and the unknown can make many readers and viewers creepy and daunted.

The latter is undoubtedly more skillful and more difficult to create than the former.

"Of course, a comic with a lot of feelings, it can be regarded as a very intrusive work in the spiritual category, and I really feel terrible personally."

Daisuke Akizuki described his feelings about the work to Shizune Miyahara as he walked to the other side of a desk, opened a drawer, and pulled out a file bag.

That's probably the manuscript.

"This work...... In short, Jingjun can take a look at ...... first"

Daisuke Akizuki handed the manuscript to Shizune Miyahara.

Since the editor-in-chief and the editorial team had a relatively high evaluation of this work, Miyahara Jing was of course a little curious, so after taking over the original manuscript, he opened the file bag and read it carefully.

Especially when reading manga, Miyahara Shizune reads very quickly, and in just a moment, he finished reading this short manga with a limited number of pages.

However, he did not give his opinion for a while.

"What does Jingjun think of this work?" Akizuki Daisuke saw that he hadn't spoken, so he asked on the side.

Miyahara Jing seemed to come back to her senses at this time, and said: "It's very good, the story storyboard, painting skills and atmosphere rendering are all in place, and this work can indeed be set directly." ”

He gave a very positive answer to this work, but this answer did not make Daisuke Akizuki very satisfied.

"That's it?" Qiu Yue's question was actually more emotional, he just wanted to ask Miyahara if Jing Miyahara felt that this work was terrifying.

"It's over, it's a good short story, what else?"

"Jingjun...... Don't you feel a little scary? ”

The expression on Miyahara Shizu's face has not changed from beginning to end when watching this work, which makes Daisuke Akizuki, who is waiting to see him have a fear reaction, very strange, doesn't this person have a horror nerve?

"Huh? You mean, it's quite scary, psychologically terrifying. Miyahara added.

The work itself is indeed a horror-oriented work, but it is difficult for him to be frightened by such a story, first, he has seen a lot of this kind of story, and he has a little impression of this work itself, which is an adaptation based on reality, and second, in the process of watching the work, he is looking at it from the perspective of scrutiny, rather than being completely immersed in it like an ordinary reader, which greatly weakens his sensory senses.

"Jingjun...... The psychological quality is good. Akizuki Daisuke was depressed, he was scared when he watched this work, and when he looked at Miyahara Jing, he didn't react.

This is actually very normal, fear and fear of things are different for everyone, and the resistance to "terror" has little to do with the age of the person, it is difficult to say that as a person grows older, his resistance to all kinds of strange talk will definitely increase, and the "guts" in this regard are likely to be determined by nature, people who are not afraid are not afraid from beginning to end, and people who are afraid will still be afraid of certain things no matter how much experience they live.

"What else do you want? Do you want me to scream oh hoo? ”

Miyahara said in an indifferent tone, the reason why he was distracted just now was not because of the manga itself, but after he finished reading the work, the focus quickly shifted from the story itself to the author, and when he turned the original manuscript back to the first page and saw the name of the cartoonist, the familiar name made him a little stunned for a while.

He was thinking about why this person became a cartoonist, or a cartoonist of the Hibiscus Society, judging from this original manuscript, the other party's level is not bad...... But it had to be an unsolved mystery, and he couldn't delve into it.

"This one can be directly set for publication, and the quality of the manuscript in the future will be as close as possible to such a short story, and the short story serialization platform must continue to ensure the quality......" (To be continued.) )
