Chapter 335: The Legend of the Sword Wind

The current Kentaro Miura is considered to have made his debut, but the manga club that debuted is not the world club, but the Kodansha. Not long ago, his work "Again" won the 34th New Manga Award of Kodansha Weekly "Shonen Magazine", which is considered to be the initial fame.

Generally speaking, it is very good to be able to win the newcomer award in the name of the first few weekly comic magazines in the island country, and many well-known cartoonists in later generations have won the so-and-so comic newcomer award in their resumes.

Kodansha's "Shonen Magazine" is a weekly manga magazine with a high ranking, and it is conceivable that the competitiveness of each year's newcomer award is conceivable, and many newcomers are moths out of their heads, hoping to win the "Shonen Magazine" newcomer award and make a name for themselves in one fell swoop.

In fact, every cartoonist who wins the Newcomer Award will be selected and signed by the comic club that holds the Newcomer Award, which is actually the situation that Zhao Chen is most worried about. Because any newcomer who can win the newcomer award has strong potential, Kodansha can naturally see it. On the other hand, Kodansha is also a manga giant, and it is undoubtedly much more difficult for newcomers who want to 'borrow' each other to win manga awards. Just like it is easier for you to poach people in a small company, but once you go to a large company to poach people, the difficulty coefficient will increase a lot, which is the same reason.

Tianxia Society and Kodansha belong to the same level, and Kodansha is better than Tianxia in terms of scale and heritage, but in the field of comics, Tiandansha is undoubtedly higher in recent years, and for ordinary newcomers, the attraction of the two is completely on the same level, and there is almost no distinction between superior and inferior.

Kentaro Miura was able to win the newcomer manga award this time, and he signed a contract with Kodansha, and if he wants to poach people from Kodansha, the difficulty is not ordinary, even if it is the same as the world club.

However, compared to other comic clubs. Zhao Chen also has it

My own killer feature, that is, all kinds of classic comics in my mind. As long as it is in the name of cooperation, ordinary manga artists basically don't care about refusal, not to mention that Kentaro Miura has only joined Kodansha for a few months, how can he have a sense of belonging at all, and when the time comes, it will naturally be better to go there.

The truth is the same as Zhao Chen imagined. After his editor contacted Kentaro Miura, he proposed the 'sincerity' of Tianxia Society, and in the end, Kentaro Miura agreed without much hesitation, and agreed without even reading the manga storyboard and character image. I don't know whether to say that he is direct or that he has too much confidence in Zhao Chen.

In short, Kentaro Miura's matter is easy to sign, and as for the back, you need to buy out the signing contract, fortunately, Kentaro Miura is just a newcomer, even if he has won the newcomer manga award, the liquidated damages are naturally not high. But it's a newcomer that Kodansha values. And as a comic giant, he has been poached by the Tianxia Society again and again, and he is naturally unhappy, and the expression is to break the alliance with the Tianxia Society at the level.

Due to the merger of the three major societies, this covenant has long been like waste paper at this time, and it is no longer useful, but it is just a fig leaf on the level of both sides, after all, the two are still competitors in the end.

Zhao Chen didn't care about this. The Tianxia Society is no longer the Tianxia Society that was just founded before, and it is actually the same whether there are allies or not. After all, it is only in the face of a great threat that both sides will watch over each other. Looking at the current merged Hitotsubashi Publishing Group, although it seems to be stronger than Tianxiasha, it is quite limited, and this gap can be erased in a short period of time with the development speed of Tianxiasha.

In this way, Tiantensha will once again stand on the high ground of the First Manga Society, and Kodansha will probably unilaterally tear up the covenant. In fact, it is all the same truth. When the enemy is too strong, they join forces to fight, and when their teammates grow enough to threaten their position, there is often a gap between them.

All in all, the relationship between companies is often due to interests.

In addition, in history, Kentaro Miura won the newcomer award at Kodansha. But it didn't take long for this product to be poached by the Baiquan Society, and its loyalty to Kodansha can be imagined, and it is normal for the Tianxia Society to be able to poach him lightly.

Of course, there is also the relationship between Kentaro Miura's liking of shoujo manga, and he himself admits that his creation is greatly influenced by shoujo manga, and at the same time, there are many adult-oriented elements in his works, perhaps this is the reason why he betrayed Kodansha and went to Shirakusensha in the first place.

However, the current strength of the Tianxia Society in shoujo manga is not much worse than that of the previous Shiraizumi Society, and naturally it is also very attractive to Kentaro Miura. Of course, the biggest attraction of this is undoubtedly Zhao Chen's mention of collaborative comics, as long as it is not like the new wife Eiji in "Dream Eater", cartoonists will choose to accept it, but although the new wife Eiji is a type of cartoonist, although there is really zài, the number is comparable to that of a giant panda.

And after digging Kentaro Miura, Zhao Chen handed him the storyboard and character image of a future work, there is no doubt that this work is Kentaro Miura's future masterpiece "Legend of Sword Wind"!

"The Legend of the Sword Wind", also known as "Brand Warrior", is historically the work of Kentaro Miura in 1992. The strong contrast and distortion of light and darkness are mainly expressed in the work, which is also the greatest charm of this comic work, and the characters are particularly prominent. Griffith, who betrayed his soul to demons, is known as the "Eagle of Light" as the hand of the dark god, and Gus, who fights against the darkness, is the "black swordsman" who is forbidden to mention; The head of the Religious Knights who loves sexual abuse, the governor who loves prostitution, and the king who has lust for his daughter, these people who are different from the inside and the outside, and the black and white are reversed, constitute all kinds of characters in the book, and it can be said that this comic is quite distinctive in terms of character design, and it is easy to impress.

The worldview of this manga is clearly a vortex of human nature. It is not so much that man is in the hands of fate, but that he is played with by the emotions of humanity itself. The same is set up in a society where blood determines a qiē, and on the other hand, it is commonly known as the hierarchical system, a typical world of the jungle.

In that place, there is no justice or fairness. The aristocracy, parasitic on the lower classes, constantly obliterated the existence and ideas of the lower classes with honor, obedience, nobility and orthodoxy. And in that kind of society, Griffith, who was born as a commoner, looked at the castle in the distance from afar, and his heart swelled with infinite yearning. The yearning for power led him to embark on a dream paved by killing. Griffith's ambition and talent have made the Eagle Regiment famous. At the same time, his dream has attracted countless people who also want to reach that castle to follow without hesitation.

The cruelty and ruthlessness of war are also depicted in this work, which is also a major feature of this manga.

It can be said that "Legend of the Sword Wind" is a very good adventure manga. However, the sales of single books in history are relatively vague, some say 30 million, some say 100 million, in short, no matter which number jù, it is considered a best-selling comic. There is also one of the most important problems, that is, in history, Kentaro Miura was serialized in the manga magazine of the White Spring Society, "The Legend of the Sword Wind", although the White Spring Society belongs to the level of a comic giant, but it is recognized as the weakest comic giant, and its main magazines have the highest sales of more than one million, if it is serialized in the "Shonen SORA" of the World Society, the sales of "The Legend of the Sword Wind" are likely to double.

However, at present, Kentaro Miura has just debuted, and the overall level is not as good as that of later generations, so "The Legend of the Sword Wind" can only be watched but not eaten, and only when Kentaro Miura passes the level of Zhao Chen, he really begins to serialize "The Legend of the Sword Wind". For this reason, Zhao Chen also specially placed it in the training institution of Tianxiashe to study. (To be continued......)
