Every time the serialization meeting begins, the atmosphere at the headquarters of Weekly Shonen JUMP begins to become solemn. This is an important step in determining the future direction of Weekly Shonen Jump, and it is a new beginning that will determine which manga will be seen by the millions of readers of Weekly Shonen Jump. This is also a meeting that cartoonists with unknown numbers want to enter.

The work that can enter the serialization conference means that there is hope for serialization, even if the probability is small, 1 in 10, or even lower, but there is always hope for submitting it, and more cartoonists will be kicked out before they are published.

This is undoubtedly cruel, but there is no mercy in the comics industry, whoever has a more exciting and interesting comic is destined to be serialized, popular, best-selling, animated, and adapted by various copyrights......

On the other hand, it is also absolutely just. Readers' eyes are always bright, even if there are some philistines, but that's the meaning of comics. Let more, more people, see this comic.

Every time the serialization meeting begins, the editors-in-chief of the branches in major cities across the country will return to the headquarters in Tokyo to participate in the serialization meeting.

Even if the number of editors was controlled, there were still as many as 20 editors-in-chief who decided to serialize the conference.

At this time, the headquarters of Weekly Shonen JUMP was busy.

"Hey, hey, hey! Hattori! What are you doing, hurry up and hand in the manuscript submitted to the serialized meeting, if you don't hand it in, it'll be too late! An editor-in-chief shouted to his editors.

"Huh? What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to send your manuscript over quickly? What the? Are you already on your way? Are you dreaming? Still on the road at this time? You know? The serial meeting is about to begin! ”

"What? Have you already arrived? Okay, good, hurry, really, don't let me worry at all, you bastard......"

"Where the hell are you? Lost? What are you doing? I'll pick you up! ”

"Hurry up and hand in the prepared manuscript, if you miss this serial meeting, you will have to wait for many days, and if you are qualified to turn it in, send it quickly!"

It was busy until 9 o'clock, and at this time, it was the time for the serial meeting to begin.

The 20 editors-in-chief came to the conference room dedicated to the serialization meeting, and after each of them took their seats, they analyzed and passed on the manuscripts brought to each other and the comments that the editors had annotated on the manuscripts, and everyone quickly read all the manuscripts.

This is the first step, and out of a large number of manuscripts, select a serial that can be published.

This time, there are about 50 manga in the draft.

After careful selection, everyone selected 5 of these 50 comics that are eligible to be published.

"Isn't it meaningless for everyone? These are the 5 books that have the qualifications for serialization. The editor-in-chief squinted his eyes and said.

"No opinion, "Shogi Kid", "Death.Note", "The Day of the End", "PPK-Armageddon", "First Meeting", these manga are all very good! In addition to "Death.Note" and "Shogi Kid", the other three manga are teachers who have experience serializing on JUMP. The cartoons of these people are very sophisticated, especially the love comics of "First Meeting", which makes people feel very good. ”

"I think Otsuka's 'The Day of the End' is very interesting, and the story is very exciting and bold. As for "PPK--Armageddon", I think it's a bit of a problem. ”

"Huh? Isn't this "PPK - Armageddon" very good? Funny comics have unique advantages, and they are also very funny, when you just read it, didn't you laugh? What's so bad about it? Comics,As long as it's interesting enough.,This teacher's comics.,It's all like this.,Although the style of painting is not very good.,But the plot has nothing to say at all! ”

"But I think this Death.Note is very interesting, different and interesting, and it is a style that has never appeared before."

"This book is a bit adventurous, and I don't think it fits the style of Weekly Shonen Jump."

"Although I also think it is good, I also agree with the editor."

"Shogi Kid is also very interesting, isn't it? You don't just want to ignore this book, okay? ”

"Although he is only a newcomer, he has infinite potential!"

"This style of painting is a little familiar.,Hey.,Wouldn't this be the teacher who opened a new pen name to contribute? Hey, hey, hey, this style of painting, maybe it's really possible? ”

"Hahaha, you're really right, I'm afraid this is the teacher's new pen name!"

"What the hell, this guy ......"

"Anyway, these comics with serialization qualifications are determined like this."

Listening to the chaotic discussion in the conference room, the editor-in-chief of Weekly Shonen JUMP nodded and said, "Okay, okay, that's the end of the discussion, there is some truth in what you said, now let's move on to the second step." ”

The second step is to determine the manga that needs to be cut in half according to the number of serials.

In the reader questionnaire, there are always a few comics at the end, and the author will be notified to cut in half, giving the author a hasty ending in one or two.

However, even the manga at the end of Weekly Shonen Jump are also very popular!

After all, this is a weekly shonen JUMP that sells an average of more than 5 million copies per week.

Even some manga at the end, if the number of serializations is long enough, there are 50 words, and it is likely that the animation production company will be selected and start animating.

Works that can be animated are likely to feed back their popularity to the manga, so even if the manga is not very popular, being able to animate it means that there is a life amulet.

Because of this situation, every time I choose which comic to cut in half, it is a very difficult choice.

After all, even the worst manga will bring a lot of benefits to Weekly Shonen Jump!

However...... It's a must-do. A steady stream of new, interesting, and comics come in, and this is the survival of all manga magazines, including Weekly Shonen Jump.

"Ahhh~ What a headache, this time I have to decide, which ones to cut in half?"

"Anyway, it's impossible to cut 5 books in half."

"So~ I still have to go back to the question of which book to delete."

"Which of the halves?,The penultimate three.,Now it's preparing to be animated.,Temporarily denial.,The other two.,Serialized in recent days.,It's starting to get a little boring.,I've also received a lot of complaints! Although there is a radio drama in progress, it is better to cut it in half! ”

"There's no objection to that, and now, it's back to square one."

"Yes, which one do you want to serialize, "Shogi Kid", "Death.Note", "The Last Day", "PPK-Armageddon", and "First Meeting"?"

"Personally, I am more optimistic about "First Meeting" and "The Day of the End".

……

……

The meeting lasted from 9 o'clock to 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Such a critical one, almost all editors, must be cautious and cautious.

After a final vote, the number of votes for these books has been determined.

The first "First Meeting", the second "PPK-Armageddon", the third "The Last Day", the fourth "Death.Note", and the fifth "Shogi Kid".

Finally, it's up to the editorial chief of the weekly Shonen Jump headquarters to decide which one to serialize.

After voting, the priority is naturally first and second.

However, in addition to that one, "Death.Note", the other four manga are the works of teachers who have experience serializing on Weekly Shonen Jump, so it can be said that it is very interesting!

However, there are only 2 published in the publication!

You have to make a choice between 2 out of 5.

Not only that, but this Death.Note is no less than a few comics.

How to choose?

The editor-in-chief of the weekly Shonen Jump, pushed his eyes, was silent, and for a while, did not speak.

……

……

4 p.m.

Koyanagi and Mahaku got out of school and went back together, and they also knew that today was the day when the serial meeting began, and they didn't receive a phone call, so they were inevitably a little apprehensive.

"Yes, no problem, right?" Shiina Mahaku grabbed the corner of Koyanagi's clothes and raised his head and asked.

"No problem." Koyanagi said.

He was also a little out of breath. Although full of confidence, there will still be many accidents...... You know, this is not the original world, but the weekly shonen JUMP of another world, and the popularity is even more popular! Who knows, what surprises will happen?

Suddenly, Koyanagi's phone rang.

"It's an editor's phone." Koyanagi answered the phone and listened to the words of the editor opposite, and there was silence for a while.

"yes, I see." Xiao Yanagi, who hung up the phone, instantly turned gloomy.

"No......" Shiina Mahaku looked at Koyanagi's expression and couldn't help but say with some disappointment. So many days of happiness and hardship have been wasted?

Koyanagi hung up the phone and nodded.

Shiina Mahaku pouted and almost cried.

"I lied to you!"

Xiaoyanagi's sudden change and said with a smile: "It's successful!" Our comic has succeeded, and through the serialization meeting, the serialization will be officially published at the end of this month! ”

"Huh? Ala al Shiina Mahaku was stunned for a moment, and then let out a cry that was a little different from her style.

"Great!" Shiina Mashiro jumped up excitedly and hugged Xiaoyanagi tightly: "Great, great!" ”

Shiina Mashiro, who was overjoyed and tearful, didn't take Koyanagi's naughty teasing to heart at all, and at this moment, he was full of excitement and happiness to play.
