Chapter 16: Shonen Manga MidEarth (Part II)

The weather was not bad that morning, it was a windless day in the --- winter, the temperature was not low, and the morning was not cold, but after Miyahara sat in the study room for two hours, snow began to fall outside the glass window. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Sunny day snow.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Miyahara Jing suddenly felt a little cold.

At this time, a steaming cup of hot cocoa suddenly appeared in his hand.

and a hand that has just left the cup.

"It seems to be a little cold, so if you don't like it, please use it."

Miyahara looked up along that arm, just in time to see the smiling face of the young store manager.

The store manager is still a kind person, and Miyahara Shizune has a good impression of him.

"Thanks, I do feel a little cold, and having a hot drink is really helpful." He smiled and accepted the store manager's kindness.

"Like this new manga? Although it is under the banner of republication, it is actually no different from a new issue. The manager said as he sat down next to Shizune Miyahara.

It's close to noon, and there aren't many people in the store for the time being, so the store manager sees that Miyahara Shizune has been sitting here, and he doesn't seem to be really reading the manga, or he is reading it very carelessly, so he just sat down and tried to chat with him.

"I like it, it's all new comics after all." Miyahara thought about it, and pretended to chat with the store manager casually.

"Store manager, how is this manga selling?"

"Who knows, I don't know what the sales statistics look like, but today in my store, as a new manga, the shonen manga midearth, it sells very well."

It stands to reason that Miyahara Jing should be happy to hear this evaluation of me, but I can't listen to half of what people say, and the other party says "it sells very well", which is limited by "new manga" and "in my store".

So Miyahara Shizune made an expression to the store manager who didn't quite understand, and please continue.

"The publisher of this manga magazine used to make shoujo manga, and it was a little-known manga publishing house called Hibiscus Society, but they also started making shonen manga a few months ago, but they shoehorned shonen manga into the shoujo manga magazine...... To be honest, this kind of policy can't be considered good.,Even if it's half shonen manga, half shoujo manga.,The magazine can't become comprehensive.,But fortunately, they're starting to adjust the policy back now.,And after the new issue is released, it can still bring some fans......"

"I bought 40 copies of this magazine, and 19 copies have been sold this morning, so I can say that it sold well."

“…… So if Hibiscus had intended to do this from the beginning, it might have been a clever strategy to warm up the popularity of some of the main works on the shoujo manga in advance. ”

…… Miyahara Jing couldn't speak, he had a clever strategy, but he just took one step at a time.

"Ahem, is the store manager familiar with this comic magazine that teaches Seemare?" Miyahara changed the subject slightly awkwardly.

In fact, he was a little puzzled by the amount of this shopkeeper's purchase, and the number of 40 copies was a bit unreasonably high.

"Of course, I'm definitely familiar with which comics a small store like mine sells, probably because of the high-quality works, and Simiel has been selling very well for months on end."

"Oh, Simiel is the same shoujo manga that was made by the same publisher as this me." The owner explained.

"High-quality work?"

"Hey, don't you know anything about it? So why buy this new manga? It stands to reason that people who are willing to buy this magazine should also know more about it, after all, it is just an unknown magazine issued by an unknown magazine. The store manager asked with some confusion, he still remembered that Miyahara Jing asked for this manga as soon as he entered the door.

"This ...... I brought this comic for someone else, and I don't usually read comics much. Miyahara said.

"Really? I really don't know if high school students like you like manga more or don't like manga more. Listening to Miyahara Shizune say this, the store manager understood why the person in front of him had been absent-minded when he was reading the manga, it turned out that he bought it for someone, and he didn't look interested.

Anyway, it was just small talk, and the store manager didn't think much about it, so he continued: "Let me tell you this, I bought a total of 40 ME copies, and 19 copies were sold on the first morning alone, so it will not be a problem to sell them out like this." ”

19 copies, which probably includes the one in Miyahara Jing's hand, he counted out 15 copies this morning, that is, a few people before him bought this magazine early in the morning.

Seeing Miyahara Jing's frowning appearance, the store manager immediately said, "Think the number of 40 copies is a bit unreasonable?" ”

Miyahara was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Hearing this number of volumes would only make him feel that the hawkers had no plan when distributing, or that they did not pay enough attention to the Hibiscus Society, and that a bookstore of the size and flow of people like Tamura Shoya was stuffed with more than 40 books, which was too unreasonable.

Although it is true that Tamura Shoya has been able to sell these volumes, this does not mean that the Tosho is not wrong in his approach.

If this is not good, there will be a problem, and Miyahara Jing wants to call and ask how the East Hawker does it now.

The store manager didn't have an idea of Miyahara Jing's expression, and continued to take care of himself: "Actually, I also read comics, and I also sell books, although I don't dare to say that I can judge which magazine can sell well, but I can also know a rough idea, originally this new magazine was distributed only 10 copies, as for the additional 30 volumes, I set it myself, but from today's situation, my judgment is quite correct."

Hearing the extra number of books set by the store manager himself, Miyahara Jing was relieved, this is a problem that has nothing to do with the East Seller.

Although there are only 100,000 copies of ME, there are always people who want to want a new magazine like this, and some people want it, and they will make some adjustments at this time.

However, this is still a store manager with his own judgment, according to Miyahara Jing's idea, the 10 copies distributed by the East Hawker can be unsubscribed if they can't be sold, but the 30 copies ordered by the store manager himself can't be returned, if they can't be sold, ME can only be placed in the bookstore to eat ashes, and the loss can only be borne by himself.

"Manager, check out."

When the store manager greeted Miyahara Shizune, a customer beckoned him to check out, so the two had to stop chatting, and then Miyahara found that the guest was also holding a me.

The twentieth book is ......

After spending the morning here, Miyahara has more confidence in me.

He drank the half-cold cocoa in one gulp, and left the bookstore while the snow was still falling.
