Chapter Eighty-Five: Works in the Direction of the Trend

"Hello, Hibiscus Society Shizushi Miyahara ......"

"It's Mr. Takeda, hello ......"

"So?"

"Okay, there's no problem on my side, ...... tomorrow Yes, no problem. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Jun Miyahara had just taken out the manuscripts, and the two had not spoken a few words when the phone on the desk rang.

At this time, Miyahara Jinggang wanted to explain to Jun Miyahara what it means to follow the trend of thinking, but had to be interrupted by this call.

When she knew who was calling this call, Miyahara Jing also understood what the other party was going to talk about, but the other party didn't say anything on the phone, just agreed to meet tomorrow.

There was no specific thing to talk about, so the conversation was very brief, and after making an agreement and saying a few innocuous nonsense, the other party quickly hung up the phone.

"Ahem, where did I just go?" After hanging up the phone, Miyahara asked her sister.

Jun Miyahara glanced at him with slanted eyes, she received the call first, and of course she already knew the identity of the person on the other end.

"Why don't you tell me about what happened on the phone just now?" She asked.

Miyahara said: "The other party didn't talk about the specific things in detail.,It's just an agreement to invite me to tea tomorrow.,The details are estimated to be tomorrow.,But it's also easy to guess.,It can't be about EVA's TV animation.。 ”

Calculate the time.,Immediately EVA's animation is going to start broadcasting.,I just don't know what the G company is looking for him at this time.。

Miyahara Jing herself is a little indifferent, because after the development of the Hibiscus Society has been on the right path, the importance of the work EVA has greatly decreased, and his attention and attention have also dropped directly by two notches.

"Well, let's say what you call following the trend...... Let's not talk about whether it's a matter of following the trend.,I think it's a masculine theme.,It should be better placed on a shonen manga, right? ”

Jun Miyahara didn't talk much about the phone call just now, but just brought the topic back to the planned new manga, after all, the time he had just talked on the phone was very short, and it was impossible to say anything important.

"On the contrary, I think it should be put on shoujo comics, first, if we also do shonen comics, and compare them with each other's works, then there will be no competitive advantage at all, and secondly, the most basic thing of the story is not male or female, change the characters and organizational structure, I don't think there is a problem with putting it on Simiel."

Miyahara said retortingly while pointing to the figure on the table.

It's a masculine story in a general sense, but there's no problem with changing the way the story is told and becoming a shoujo manga.

It's just a gimmick and a layer of skin, and the bones of the story are different after all.

So what kind of wind is Miyahara following?

This has to start with history.

If we talk about the important historical period and turning point that we have to mention in modern Japan, it is probably the so-called Meiji Restoration, and when we mention the Meiji Restoration, we have to mention the "Shogun Movement", and when we mention the Shogun Movement, we have to mention the "Restoration Heroes", and when we mention the Restoration Heroes, we have to mention ......

New Writing Group.

The new writing group is quite a rich creative subject.

To explain briefly, the Shinjogumi was an armed police organization subordinate to the shogunate at the end of the shogunate, and it was an armed group composed of lower-class samurai, civilians, and ronin.

Their main job was to maintain law and order in Kyoto, as well as to monitor, arrest, and assassinate Restorationists.

From the perspective of the historical period and the social process at that time, the Shinshogumi was undoubtedly a very typical "reactionary force" and a pawn of the shogunate.

In fact, it is true, from the Downfall Movement to the beginning of the Restoration, the new writers were feared at the beginning, and after their defeat, for a long time they were evaluated as characters that everyone shouted at.

This negative image lasted for a long time and only gradually changed later.

Objectively speaking, this kind of change is almost inevitable, and it is also inevitable that the evaluation of the new writing team will change from negative to positive.

This has nothing to do with their power color, but only with the heavy identity of "samurai".

The people of the island country have a samurai plot, because of historical reasons, samurai, bushido, and samurai spirit, these are things that they yearn for and admire.

The word samurai represents something irreplaceable for them.

The characteristic Chengzi team flag, the unique feather weaving, and the strict law in the game...... In a sense, Shinkumi, as a representative of the old era, played the role of the "last samurai" in the history of the island nation.

Therefore, as history gets farther and farther away, as long as the yearning for the samurai does not disappear, it is almost inevitable that this organization, which is essentially dark and bloody, will turn into a positive image.

And from the establishment, prosperity and even collapse of this organization, many more in-depth things can be revealed.

Most of the members of the new group came from humble backgrounds, and many were not even the lowest-ranking samurai, and after these humble people obtained the status of "samurai", in order to maintain their status, they had to fight with a spirit that went far beyond their duties.

The shogunate regarded them as lackeys, and the reformers hated them to the core.

However, this group of low-level samurai threw themselves into the torrent of destruction without hesitation when the building was about to collapse.

Loyalty, determination, destruction, being born by the sword and dying by the sword, knowing that they can't do it, whether they have these things in them or not, but the later vision has given them these things.

From the Ikedaya Incident to the Boshin War.

Isamu Kondo was beheaded, Toyosan Hijikata was killed, and Soji Okita died of illness.

In the eyes of the islanders, in a special period, this special group of samurai is with a strong tragic heroic color.

Not only that, but later there were also writers who specialized in washing the floor for the new writing group, typical representative of Ryotaro Sima, who had works such as Ryoma Fengyunlu, Burning Sword, and Shinsengumi Blood Wind Record that expressed the spirit of this group of bushido.

This is a group of people who can reflect the characteristics of the island country, when such a country or people, after falling into a Jedi, they can say a little better, they can break the boat, and say a little worse, this is called hysteria.

In fact, from beginning to end, the existence of the new writing group has only been a short five years, but their special encounters in a special period have made this theme a very rich creative theme.

Novels, anime, film and television, and more.

For example, the now popular Rogue Kenshin, this is a work that shows this historical period, although the protagonist is not from the new writing group, but it has a deep intersection with this organization.

The story of Rogue Kenshin takes place after the Restoration.,Setting-wise,The male protagonist Scarlet Village Kenshin is a member of the Restoration.,He once participated in the "Odd Team" of the Chōshū faction of the Restoration Warriors such as Katsura Kogoro and Takasugi Shinsaku.

And in essence, Kenshin did the same work as the Shinshogun, but the latter assassinated the Restoration, while Kenshin assassinated the shogunate officials.

The story describes the story of the original executioner of the Restoration, known as "Drawing the Sword", after the change of history, and wandering around in the new era with a reverse sword that cannot kill.

In this work, the changes in the main characters are used to express the nature of the changes of the times.

Rogue Kenshin is the hottest manga to depict the genre right now, and probably even the most successful manga of all time about the genre

This is a popular theme in itself, and it is also a popular work, so it is not surprising that there are follow-up works.

Later, after the end of Rogue Kenshin, the monthly boy Gangan (the aforementioned Square Enix manga and the representative work Fullmetal Alchemist) once followed a work called "New Persona".

Later, Shueisha had similar themes, but some of them completely deviated in the process of manga artists, turning the historical theme into a strange story of the Shinsengumi protecting the shogunate and destroying the samurai vs. aliens.

But in fact, it is difficult for a shonen manga who does this theme to surpass Rogue Kenshin.

So Miyahara is ready to follow suit in a different direction.

Shonen manga doesn't work, so let's change it to a shoujo manga.

So there is such a work called Pu Sakura Ghost.
