This newcomer manga award, which is tentatively named "Hibiscus Society Manga Award", is still of great significance to Hibiscus Society. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Or Miyahara Shizune personally attaches great importance to this matter, and if the two are compared, his attention to this newcomer award is still above that of the new manga magazine.

Miyahara hopes that this award will play an important role, and hopes that through this award, excellent works and talented new manga artists will be discovered.

In terms of positioning, the positioning of the Hibiscus Manga Award is similar to that of the current Shueisha Manga Awards, both of which are awards set up for the discovery of new manga artists, but there are still differences between the two.

The first obvious difference is that the prize money of the Hibiscus Society Manga Award is very conspicuous, the prize money for the first prize of the Shueisha Manga Award is only 1 million yen, and the Hibiscus Society is ten times as much as 10 million yen, which is a very attractive amount, willing to give such a bonus to newcomers Hibiscus Society can definitely be said to have made a bloody investment, compare, Miyahara Jing can now be regarded as a popular manga artist and a well-known manga artist, The most recent royalty he received was an animation royalty paid to him by OHS Animation, totaling 8.6 million yen......

In such a comparison, you can perceive that the Hibiscus Society is a little bit less about money.

Of course, it's not that the Hibiscus Society likes to be wronged, this is also a more helpless thing. If she could, Miyahara Shizuna also wanted to be like Shueisha, just casually take out 1 million, and the rookie manga artists would be eager to enter the Hibiscus Society, and it would be best to see the scene where they rushed to enter the Hibiscus Society...... But unfortunately, this is not possible, and it is not possible to do such a thing with the influence of the Hibiscus Society.

Therefore, the lack of attractiveness of the Hibiscus Society itself can only be compensated for by high bonuses.

The second obvious difference is that the two manga awards are held in different cycles, the Shueisha Manga Awards are held every six months and twice a year, while the Hibiscus Society Manga Awards planned by Shizune Miyahara are held once a year, but in fact they are more relaxed, and the submissions and selections are carried out simultaneously throughout the year.

In other words, this award can be submitted at any time, as long as the cartoonist is happy.

However, manuscripts from October onwards will not be included in this year's awards, but will be pushed to the next selection, because November and December of each year are the time for the final comprehensive evaluation of the works of this edition of the Manga Awards and the announcement of the final results.

Thirdly, there are strict rules for newcomer manga awards like this, such as the most basic page number of the original manuscript, the size and specifications of the original manuscript, etc., and the original manuscript submitted by the Shueisha Manga Award is strictly required at 31P.

The Hibiscus Society does not have such requirements for submission, they only stipulate that the minimum number of pages of the original manuscript is 30 pages, as for how many pages are acceptable, the original manuscript can be short or long, or they wish they could find the best kind of high-quality work that is directly serialized.

Of course,Considering the creation cycle of comics,The number of pages of a work submitted by such a newcomer manga award can't be too much.,It's impossible to be long-form.,Not everyone is like Miyahara Shizun.,Like to save things like a mouse.,Save a lot of manuscripts when there's nothing to do.,And save just don't publish.。

Other cartoonists definitely don't have such a habit.

Because the Hibiscus Society Manga Award is only a ranking rather than a ranking award, like the highest "Grand Award", if there are no works that can meet the standards of the Grand Award during the selection period, then this issue may be vacant, and if there are several high-level comics, then it is likely that the Grand Award will be plural.

And according to the criteria for the establishment of this award, for example, those works that can lock the award in advance, with a little modification, can basically be directly published in the serial magazine for serialization.

This is because the selection cycle is too long, and excellent works can indeed be quickly serialized depending on the situation.

…………

In order to show the importance of the manga prize, Miyahara Shizune plans to publish the news in the weekly ME monthly magazine Summerelle and Godot at the same time as the new magazine release, and in order to spread the news, he is also planning to advertise in some special anime manga information magazines and some newspapers that focus on manga news to promote it.

The new issue and the manga award are tangled together, and of course it is impossible to take care of one or the other, and the manga award cannot be limited to external cartoonists, and of course the internal cartoonists of the Hibiscus Society will also be eligible to run.

As long as the cartoonist has not officially debuted, he can participate in the selection of this issue of the Newcomer Award, for example, the short works that may be published on Godot this time will be automatically included in the selection process of the Manga Awards.

But it's already halfway through this year.,The first issue of the comic book award can only drive halfway.,Focus all the links on the autumn and winter seasons.。

The preparation of the Hibiscus Society Manga Award and the short story magazine is more complicated, and it is worth looking forward to in terms of expectations, but it is not known whether it will be able to achieve the desired results.

The short story magazine is relatively simple, because it is tentatively scheduled to be issued irregularly, there is no need for standing personnel and departments for the time being, and it is enough to temporarily assign editors.

There is no problem with the qualifications for the sale of new magazines, and the Hibiscus Society has complete distribution qualifications for various magazines, periodicals, and even books.

These qualifications were obtained a long time ago and there are no problems.

Therefore, as long as the editorial team completes the selection, you can directly enter the process of typesetting, printing and so on.

However, the selection process for the new magazine may last more than a month, after all, the level of manuscripts they receive is not very high, and it is difficult to select one-fifth of the relatively high-quality works out of the more than 100 manuscripts received.

We can only wait for a while longer, and when more manuscripts are received, the scale of the selection will be further expanded...... In terms of proportion, it should be possible to have a relatively high level of work.

In other words, whether it is the Hibiscus Society Manga Award or Godot's affairs, it will take a while, but this matter has already begun to warm up.

In the following ME, in order to create a topic, Miyahara Shizune was interviewed by the ME editorial department under the name of Hyakume Kishizu, and this interview was published on ME.

This article will probably use an eye-catching title like "High School Student Manga Artist".

What does it say that there are young, successful cartoonists? It shows that Hibiscus is a publishing house that is willing to give young manga artists a chance. (To be continued.) )
