Chapter 35: You're Always Too Soft-Hearted (Part II)

"Mr. Xiaoshan, you got it! Shueisha took back the rights to the girls' high school. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

This is Koyama Takamasa's manga studio, and the one who is speaking at this time is the initiator of Koyama's "defection" from the Hibiscus Society, the former Hibiscus Society editor Shinji Nohara.

At this time, Shinji Nohara was happy that Shueisha had taken back the rights to the girls' high school, and he didn't realize that the matter was far from over.

However, compared with Shinji Nohara, Koyama Takama was not very excited, but he said a little impatiently: "Two or three things in girls' high school are originally my things!" I got my work back, nothing to be happy about! ā€

Shinji Nohara pouted, Koyama Takama is just the author of two or three things about girls' high school, and the copyright of the manga belongs to Hibiscus Society......

Manga artists do not have the copyright of their comics, no matter which publishing house they are in!

But Koyama Takama obviously didn't think so, and he still chattered: "Nohara-san! You once told me,; After coming to Shueisha, my manga was able to jump on the jump, but now? It's just Margaret! ā€

"Margaret! What is the difference between Margaret and Simariel! ā€

"Of course Mary can't compare to Margaret, Mr. Xiaoshan." To say that Simiel is the same as Margaret doesn't mean that the Hibiscus Society can be compared to Shueisha?

Nohara Shinji frowned, in fact, at this time, he was already a little repulsed and bored with Koyama Takajin.

He originally thought that Koyamataka was really a very talented manga artist, otherwise he wouldn't have brought him to Shueisha, but what about the truth? He was completely blinded!

Girls' High School Two or Three Things is indeed a very good, very good girl's manga, but that doesn't mean that Koyama Takashi is really a good manga artist, because he can't draw anything except girls' high school!

For more than a month, not to mention serialization on Jump, the original manuscript of the new manga provided by Takama Koyama couldn't pass the serialization review meeting of the Jump editorial department at all!

This is also a matter of course, even if Shinji Nohara is asked to evaluate those manuscripts, there is only one word to describe it.

That's rotten.

It's so bad that it's hard to imagine that these originals and story ideas were drawn by an author who was able to draw two or three things about girls' high school, and let anyone judge that this should also be the work of a different author.

Or is this the true level of Xiaoshan Gao? Only two or three things in girls' high school are his super-level performances?

Shinji Nohara had to be forced to accept the fact that Koyama really had limited abilities.

If this is not the case, how could their serialization be transferred to Margaret, if Koyama can still draw works of the same level as girls' high school, then there is no doubt that he will be able to get the opportunity to jump serialized, and at that time, the future of the two will be completely different from when they were in the Hibiscus Society.

However, now Nohara's expectations are all in vain, because the person he values is not a genius at all, but a waste.

Sadly, his future has been tied to this waste.

Do you know how hard I worked to get Shueisha to agree to help you get the copyright back on the girls' high school?

This sentence was almost blurted out by Shinji Nohara, but he still held back, Koyama Takama is not a person who can withstand the blame, and he can't stand the slightest stimulation at all.

So he could only say patiently: "Mr. Xiaoshan, this is also a helpless thing, your new work has not been able to pass the serial review of jump...... It's better to be able to get back two or three things about girls' high school, and it's already a lucky thing to be serialized on Margaret, although it's not as good as jumping, but Margarita is one of the best shoujo manga after all, much stronger than Seemaril, in terms of career, leaving Hibiscus Society and coming to Shueisha, we still rose a step after all. ā€

But even if Nohara Shinji said it carefully, after listening to his words, Koyama Takama still jumped up from the chair suddenly, and then said angrily: "Do you think this is my problem?" This is impossible, I can tell you that my new work can't pass the review 100% because the editors at Shueisha have a problem with their eyes! ā€

"Do they have an eye for comics? Do they understand the psychology of their readers? Can they see the value of my comics? ā€

Looking at Koyama Taka's real hysteria, Shinji Nohara shook his head silently in his heart, not only not admitting his own shortcomings, but also used to putting the blame on others, this is the genius he recognized before?

Maybe it's time for him to train a new cartoonist.

People are like this, when they think a person is good, they will ignore most of their shortcomings, but once they start to dislike a person, even Florence Nightingale can be regarded as a public enemy of the world.

"In short, after getting back the girls' high school, it can be serialized again, and with the popularity of the girls' high school and Margaret's influence, the sales will definitely be better."

Theoretically, there is nothing wrong with it, the semi-monthly Simarita has a circulation of only 100,000 copies, and the total monthly circulation is only 200,000 copies.

Even if it was only serialized in Simil, the first four volumes of the two or three events of the girls' high school sold an average of 400,000 copies, which is enough to prove the excellence of this manga.

If it is serialized on Margaret, the sales of two or three things in the girls' high school are expected to exceed one million.

Not only Nohara Shinji and Koyama Takama think so, but even Margaret's editor-in-chief thinks so, and it is precisely because the editor-in-chief has such expectations that he will persuade Shueisha to come up with a large sum of money to win the rights to two or three things in girls' high school.

"But Margaret can't compare to Jump...... "Takama Koyama finally misses Teenage Jump.

Are you kidding, are there any manga magazines that can compare to Jump right now?

Nohara Shinji didn't pay attention to Koyama Takama anymore, originally in his eyes, the value of Koyama was much higher than the value of two or three things in girls' high school, but now Koyama Takajin's value is only equal to the value of two or three things in girls' high school, more precisely, it is precisely because there are two or three things in girls' high school that Koyama Takama is still valuable at this moment.

Let's let Koyama Takama draw two or three things about girls' high school for the rest of his life, after all, it is a comic that is expected to reach tens of millions of sales, which is enough to make him famous.

Just when Shinji Nohara was looking forward to getting through the initial setback of the beginning of everything, and the two or three things in the girls' high school could resume serialization and get on the right path, the phone in the studio rang suddenly.

Nohara Shinji suddenly felt a burst of distraction, and it seemed that Koyama Takama glanced at him and saw that he didn't mean to answer the phone, so he walked over and picked up the phone.

"Yes, editor-in-chief...... What the?! I see, we'll go right over! Nohara slammed the phone, then turned around and looked at Koyama with a distorted expression.

"What, what's wrong?" Where had Koyama Takama seen such an expression, and he was immediately frightened by Shinji Nohara.

"Mr. Koyama, didn't you tell Margaret about your exclusive agreement with the Hibiscus Society?"

"Big, probably...... No, what's wrong with this? Koyama Takama said intermittently.

Hearing Xiaoshan say this, Shinji Nohara slapped his forehead extremely hard, at this moment, he couldn't wait to shoot Koyama to death first, and then shoot himself to death!

"Didn't I tell you that you had to make it clear to the editor-in-chief about the exclusivity agreement?!" Nohara slammed the table again, and the sound felt like his hand was going to break after that.

However, Nohara Shinji didn't seem to feel the slightest pain, and continued to say fiercely: "Okay now, Shueisha only bought back the copyright of the two or three things in the girls' high school, but your exclusive agreement is still in the hands of the Hibiscus Society!" Shueisha spent nearly 120 million yen, and only two or three things were bought back in girls' high school! ā€

"W-What does this mean?"

Shinji Nohara now has to guess what kind of IQ Koyama Takama is with the most malicious and low-line thoughts of human beings! Doesn't he understand what an exclusivity agreement is for a cartoonist? Doesn't he know that exclusive agreements are the main method by which publishers control cartoonists?!

"It means that even if you get back two or three things from the girls' high school now, you can't serialize it, otherwise it's a breach of contract, you know? To be held legally responsible! ā€

"Why? Two or three things about girls' high school are my work. "When it comes to two or three things about girls' high school, Xiaoshan Gao is really a little more confident.

Originally, two or three things in the girls' high school were painted by him, and no one can deny it!

"In a legal sense, you are still a cartoonist of the Hibiscus Society, and the exclusivity agreement of the Hibiscus Society is in the past, and the serialization agreement you signed with Shueisha is invalid!"

"And now, the copyright of two or three things in the girls' high school is in the hands of Shueisha!"

"How is that possible!"

"Now, the lawyer's letter from Hibiscus has been sent to Shueisha, and the editor-in-chief asked us to go over and explain the problem! Prepare to face his wrath, because of your mistakes, Shueisha is now spending more than 100 million yen in vain! ā€

"So what are we going to do?" As soon as he heard that the editor-in-chief was going to get angry, Koyama Takama immediately became six gods and no master, and he could only ask Nohara Shinji for help pitifully!

At this moment, in his eyes, Shinji Nohara is the only savior.

"Shueisha has stated that we can only be responsible for this fact, so we have only one choice, and that is to pay liquidated damages honestly."

"Do you have to pay liquidated damages?" This is not the choice that Koyama wants to choose.

"It has to be paid, if you want to be serialized on Margaret, otherwise, either you have to go back to the Hibiscus Society, or you go to court."

"And how much is the liquidated damages?"

"Don't you know your own liquidated damages?!" Shinji Nohara had almost nothing to say, "The penalty for Hibiscus is only twice the signing fee, and from this year onwards, isn't your signing fee 5 million yen!" ā€

"I, I did receive 5 million yen at the beginning of this year...... "Koyama Takama finally remembered that there was such a thing, and when he heard that the signing fee was only 5 million, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately put on a look of not caring much and said, "Isn't it 10 million, we will pay Hibiscus Society." ā€
