Japan's anime industry is arguably one of the country's economic pillars, and the manga industry, which produces a large number of excellent manga every year, is also the object of longing for by countless people. However, I believe that many people have also learned about the harshness of this industry from works such as "Dream Eater", so what other secrets are there in the comic industry? Recently, some Japanese media interviewed some cartoonists in the industry and came up with 13 unspoken rules of the comic industry!

1. Cartoonists fall in love and associate with editors

It is not uncommon for cartoonists and editors to form romantic relationships. Especially when the cartoonist is a woman, such things are more common. In other words, there are editors in the industry who are interested in female cartoonists!

2. Although cartoonists and editors are in love, most of them end up breaking up

Although, as mentioned in the first article, it is not uncommon to see examples of cartoonists and editors falling in love. However, the probability of breaking up is also quite high. And after the breakup, if the two are still cartoonists-editors, then it is simply mental torture for cartoonists, so there are often changes in editors.

3. The assistant will complain about things to the cartoonist

Although manga assistants are hired by manga artists, they sometimes complain to manga artists, such as "I don't want to do it anymore", "I don't like this", "I want to be better", etc.

4. Even if the work is animated, the income is still not high

Even if the work is animated or theatricalized, the cartoonist still gets very little money. So while many people think that manga artists should be ecstatic about the animation of their work, this is not the case at all.

5. Once the popularity of the work declines, it will increase the chances of female characters selling benefits

If the popularity of the work in the serialization is not good, then the editor will sometimes establish a plot that says "increase the plot of girls selling meat" and "more shots of girls walking away". Although this is a very effective method, some cartoonists are disgusted and deliberately do not let the girl go.

6. After their debut, some manga artist assistants are even more popular than the original hirers

A newcomer in the manga industry, who was supposed to be his assistant, has unknowingly become a more popular character than himself. Sometimes there are people who have extraordinary talents. Although he thought that he could not lose to his assistant, the manga artist himself was still very happy.

7. Some unpopular cartoonists come over for dinner during New Year's parties and New Year's parties

Some manga artists don't have serialized works on hand and don't create short stories, but when it comes to New Year's parties and year-end parties, some people will be cheeky and come to eat.

8. Sometimes the assistant is too busy, and the director has been an assistant all his life

If you are engaged in assistant work all day long, then you will unconsciously become a professional assistant, so some people have been doing assistant work no matter how much time has passed.

9. Cartoonists and editors will be sloppy when it comes to deadlines

Cartoonists often fail to meet deadlines, and editors often see this and adjust their deadlines. Of course, some cartoonists will be sloppy when it comes to deadlines, or even ignore deadlines and draw slowly.

10. If the guy who met for the first time said "Please come and draw XX" at a drinking party, the manga artist should be angry

If you meet someone at a drinking party or on the street who says to a manga artist, "Please sign an autograph" or "Please come and draw XX", then the manga artist should be angry. If you want to say why they are angry, because they propose that the material of painting is not colored paper, but a napkin or a leaflet.

11. If you meet a cute girl at a drinking party and ask, "Please come and draw XX", then the manga artist will compromise. In other words, if a cute girl asks, the manga artist will not refuse.

12. The assistant's painter is better

Some of the assistants are more skilled than the manga artist himself. Although this is a shameful thing for cartoonists, on the other hand, the quality of the work will also improve, so they are often ecstatic.

13. Although the editor-in-charge said that there was no problem, the editor-in-chief rejected it

Is it joy or sorrow? The author of "The Battle of Arslan" is anti-BL and hotly discussed

The TV anime "Arslan Senki", which has been airing since April 5, has been attracting attention long before the official debut of the anime because of the names of masters such as the original author Yoshiki Tanaka and the painter Hiroshi Arakawa. However, this work has caused controversy for another reason, that is, Yoshiki Tanaka, who served as the original work, put forward the red line of "prohibiting BL depictions" in terms of fan adaptation. Some people expressed their dissatisfaction with this, but many people were happy.

Since the start of the work, because the setting of the protagonist His Royal Highness Arslan shows a neutral and beautiful posture, and there are a large number of other male characters with good images, it is believed that it will trigger the rotten girl YY who "likes love relationships between men", so that the secondary creation of BL content is in full swing.

However, in May 2004, Yoshiki Tanaka's company, Wrightstaff, restricted the fan adaptation of its authors' publications, including "non-profit recreation, but sexually explicit depictions and homosexual expressions are not allowed." Therefore, when carrying out the secondary creation of "Arslan Wars", you need to be careful not to involve BL or GL content, so there are many discussions on the Internet. In particular, many people believe that the most direct reason for this ban is that Yoshiki Tanaka has previously received a fan-created BL doujinshi. Therefore, it is reasonable to restrict "The Battle of Arslan".

For such a ban, voices of lamentation and surprise appeared on the network at the same time. First of all, fans of the rotten girl said very resentfully: "It's a pity that His Royal Highness is so cute, but he is restricted from secondary creation." Some people even complained: "If you can't do a second creation freely, then it's not good to be fascinated by the original, so I'd better just stop watching this animation." ”

But in this regard, many people also voiced their voices: "This work did not become a lure for rotten girls, thank God!" "It's fun that the essence of the original won't be destroyed."

Nowadays, various types of works have become the object of BL's secondary creation, and the authors and companies have acquiesced in this behavior. In such a context, it is very rare for "The Warriors of Arslan" to explicitly prohibit creation on the official website. But will everyone abide by the official announcement and control the YY side of zhìBL? Or is it fearless to fight for the CP of His Highness and the men...... Perhaps it won't be long before we know about this. Tencent Animation will also wait and see~

This is a majestic work of restoration. In the story, the kingdom of Pars, a recognized land power, prospered politically, economically, and otherwise under the rule of King Andrakolas III. However, the good times did not last long, when the neighboring Rusitania invaded Pars, the "invincible" Pars cavalry was defeated! As a result, King Andrakolas was also captured by the enemy, while the crown prince ̇Arslan (little angel) was lucky enough to escape death with the help of the fierce general ̇ Dalong (the man). The two then visit the wise general ̇ Narsas (the man) and try to turn the situation around. With the assistance of the two, Arslan will embark on the arduous road to recovery......

Feel free to draw a fandom! CLAMP issued a statement on its official website

During this time, the ban on BL fandom surrounding "Arslan Wars" has caused a lot of heated discussions. Recently, CLAMP, who debuted as a fandom club, announced on the website: We welcome any form of fanfic adaptation.

The statement, titled "Request from CLAMP," dated April 10, states CLAMP's position: "At this stage, we at CLAMP have no intention of changing our minds about secondary creations, cosplay, etc., and we do not intend to impose restrictions on everyone's behavior, as before. If everyone is free to enjoy CLAMP's work, then we are content. ”

In addition, the statement said: "In the past few days, we have received feedback several times that the secondary artwork works drawn by CLAMP for certain works have been uploaded to social networking sites. Of course, these are not uploaded by someone in the name of our CLAMP, but published without authorization. We use CLAMP or other published pseudonyms to write secondary creations (not to mention printed materials), please do not upload them to social media platforms or websites. Of course, we don't mean to hold anyone accountable, we just want people to understand what we think. In fact, just putting these things in writing on the official website makes us very worried about whether it will discourage those who love CLAMP's work and create it. ”

CLAMP is a joint pen name used by a well-known group of Japanese manga artists and an all-female manga studio that debuted in 1989. Previous representative manga are "Tokyo Babylon", "X-Men", "Sakura Magic Card" and so on.

Animation coming? "SOULCATCHER(S)" will be released

It is currently serialized in "Shonen JumpNEXT!! Since the comic book "SOULCATCHER(S)" began serialization in 2013, it has released spin-off content such as radio dramas and adaptations of novels. However, recently, a picture of stealing away once again announced that the work will be published.

The details of this announcement are unknown, but many believe that it should herald the arrival of animation. In recent years, many of the JUMP series have been animated, such as the new "Kuroko's Basketball" in January. So whether we can wait until the animation arrives, Tencent Animation will continue to pay attention.

"SOULCATCHER(S)," created by Kamikai Hero, tells the story of Shota Kamimine, a student at Gunma Prefectural Naruen High School. However, although he may seem ordinary, he has a unique ability to "see" people's hearts. But because of this, he chose not to contact other people. One day, however, he met the talented saxophonist Hibiki Kazaka at a public performance in a nearby wind club. "The Divine Peak can be sent to people's hearts through the opinions of music." Kazaka was very concerned about this and invited Kamimine to the wind ensemble, and Kamimine also wanted to guide people as a conductor. Since then, the two have faced all kinds of problems together. So, will Shota Kamimine be able to conduct the music of the Naruen High School Wind Orchestra and find the right and hopeful path?

Not a new anime! "Flower Card Love" will be made into a live-action movie version

A few days ago, some official media revealed that the last Yuki's girl's manga "Flower Card Love" will be published. At the time, some fans wanted to see the third season arrive, but according to the latest sneak picture news: this time the release is not an anime, but a live-action movie version.

Although it is not the third season, it may disappoint many people. But in recent years, the star cast of anime-based live-action dramas has become more and more luxurious. Maybe many friends who usually just watch Japanese dramas will like anime works because of this opportunity. Therefore, we are also looking forward to the official announcement of the cast list in the future.

The "Flower Card Love" series is adapted from the manga of the same name written by Japanese manga artist Yuki Sueji, which is based on the traditional Japanese card game "Ututa Ta", describing the youth story of the dream-seeking girl Chihaya Ayase and her companions. The first season of the anime aired on October 4, 2011, while the second season aired on January 11, 2013. His work won the "Manga of the Year" award (2009) recommended by Japanese bookstore clerks, and later won the Takashimasha "This manga is amazing!" In 2009, it was ranked 3rd in the women's section and in 2010, it was ranked 1st in the women's section.

Big names gathered! Details of the release of "Space Battleship Yamato" were announced

When it comes to "Space Battleship Yamato", I believe many veteran anime fans will not be unfamiliar. Recently, the latest work of the "Space Battleship Yamato" series, "Space Battleship Yamato 2199 Star Cruiser Ark", this Blu-ray version special screening will be held in Shinjuku. At the stage appreciation party before the event, the main creative staff, including the chief director Yu Debuchi, Nishii Masanori, and Makoto Bessho were also present, and Eriko Nakamura, who voiced the main character of the work, Mikage Kiryu, also appeared on stage. Several people told the audience about the main highlights of this work.

First of all, Nakamura couldn't hold back his joy when he appeared on the stage, "I thought I would have the opportunity to attend such an event, but I didn't expect to return to the theater at this time. I deeply feel that Yamato is indeed loved by people. ”

Then the makers told a lot of insider stories. In fact, at the beginning of the production of zuò, Bessho was surprised after seeing the storyboard of the chief director of 渕, "The weight is so large, the amount of information in each shot is incredible, can this zuò really be made in 1 year?" Nishii also said, "The storyboard artists all have strong feelings for Yamato, so they have infinite associations based on the script. The hard part is how to put their ideas together. ”

As for the highlights of the work, Nishii said, "All the weapons carried by Yamato were used in the work. Especially the rocket anchor, I've been wanting to get it for a long time, so this time I'm satisfied. Izubuchi thinks that Yamato is mainly a lonely state in the TV series, and "the theme of this work is to fight side by side, especially to be able to control the zuò fleet, which is fantastic." ”

In addition, the conversation began to turn to the comments on the sub-track of the Blu-ray Bonus. Nakamura sighed, "This time it will contain a lot of things that people didn't realize before, as well as Mr. Ono's burning passion for Yamato, and so on. In short, it will be very enjoyable for Yamato fans. And then when the chief director of Debuchi mentioned that there was a storyboard in charge of Hideaki Anno in this work, there was a commotion on the scene. But which shot is from the riffraff, I'm afraid you can only know by listening to the sub-track.

Finally, Nakamura commented, "Please enjoy the world of Yamato 2199 in high Blu-ray quality." And the chief director of Debuchi promoted: "At the time of the release, there were some details that we hadn't dealt with yet. In Blu-ray, we've made changes to the characters and details. So it's worth watching, and if you want to enjoy it, I'll feel very honored. Subsequently, the thank-you meeting also came to an end.

It's Amamiya day again! "Dating Wars" Wan Yuri voice actor confirmed

The popular work "Dating Wars", based on the light novel of the same name, has maintained a good influence since two seasons of TV animation aired. And the official also announced the release of the theatrical version of the anime "Dating Wars: Wanyuri Verdict", and the lineup led by Keitaro Motonaga was produced. But maybe more people are more concerned about the voice actor of the core character of the theater version, Wan Yuri, right? And recently this puzzle has finally been revealed: Amamiya Ten, a newcomer who has risen like a rocket in recent years, will be in charge of this role.

He has starred in "Friends of the Week" Kaori Fujimiya, "Tokyo Ghoul" Kirishima Dongka, "Chopping Crimson Pupils!" "Red Pupil", "ALDNOAH. ZERO" Ethiram Visher Aryosia, "The Seven Deadly Sins" Elizabeth and other popular roles Amamiya Tian still has a good exposure in 2015, and now in the new "Plastic Memory" in April, she also plays the heroine Ella, and shows the side of playing the role of comics. This participation in the theatrical dubbing will add more highlights to her career.

"Date Wars" is a popular light novel created by Tachibana Corporation. The work centers on Gokawa Shido, and tells the story of his mission to "date the elves and make them shy" in order to save the earth. The work brings together popular voice actors such as Shimazaki Nobunaga, Inoue Marina, Misuzu Tomigashi, Iori Nomizu, Takeda Aina, Sanada Asami, Asaori, Kaori Satohara, and Minori Chibara, and the joining of Amamiya will also add more highlights to the work.

Two styles! The cover of "Sidnia's Knight" was exposed

The second season of "The Knight of Sidnia", which was officially launched in April this year, "The Battle of the Ninth Planet", will once again attract attention with its special painting style. Recently, the official announced the cover details of the first volume of Blu-ray/DVD.

This time, Blu-ray and DVD chose two completely different styles as the cover. The sci-fi aura of blue light is strong, and the red and black color scheme can be regarded as an instant appreciation of the charm of the worldview of the work. On the DVD, the focus is on the main characters, and the scene where cherry blossoms fall is somewhat in line with the characteristics of spring.

In "The Knight of Sidnia", the mysterious lifeform Qijuzi destroys the solar system and brings havoc to people. In the world 1000 years later, a spaceship named "Sidnia" continues the mission of human reproduction and production. The protagonist Gu Feng Nagado is a trainee of the controller of the humanoid weapon "Guardian", and he fights with his friends against Qi Juzi...... This work is a new technical product of zuò animation produced by PolygonPictures, and like the latest release of "Paradise Chase" and the previous "Blue Steel Battleship", it is considered by the industry to be a representative work of CG animation towards maturity. And the animation has invited popular voice actors such as Ryota Amisaka, Aya Susaki, Takahiro Sakurai, Kotoshiko Kanemoto, Sayaka Ohara, Taketo Koyasu, Satomi Arai and other popular voice actors to join, and it has been attracting the attention of the audience since before it was broadcast.

Confirm Ryota Hirosaka! The last big-name voice actor of "Black Basket" was announced

The third season of the TV anime "Kuroko's Basketball", adapted from the popular manga of the same name, is currently playing the plot of the Teiko chapter. However, no matter how heartwarming the memories of the past are, it is impossible to deny that the upcoming Seirin VS Luoshan battle will be a Mars collision with the Earth. Recently, the sneaking away picture exposed Luoshan's secret weapon - Dai Chihiro's voice actor candidate, this is Ryota Hirosaka.

Ryota Osaka, who once won the 9th Voice Actor Award and the Newcomer Male Voice Actor Award, has grown up almost step by step since his debut in 2011, and has starred in "Fishing Ball" Sanada Yuki, "The Strange Classmate Next Door" Sohei Sasahara, and "Let's Work!" Demon King" Maao Sadao, "Revolutionary Machine Valvrave" Shi Miharuto, "My Girlfriend and Childhood Sweetheart's Tragic Shura Field" Ruita Kido, "Blood Boy" Brad Charlie Starz, "Attack on Titan" Marco Bot, "From a Calm Tomorrow" Isaki Yai, "Diamond Ace" Sawamura Eijun, "If You Break Her Flag" Kiri Sata, "Extremely Black Brunhilde" Ryota Murakami and other super popular characters. And this time, the character Dai Chihiro is a new type of "Phantom Sixth Man" discovered by Akaji at Luoshan High School, so his image naturally attracts attention. And because Ryota Osaka has a very good relationship with Yuki Ono and Kensho Ono in the industry, the interaction between several people in the works is also talked about.

"Kuroko's Basketball" is a manga work created by Tadashi Fujimaki, which has been serialized in December 2008 and has sold 29 single volumes. The first two seasons of TV animation aired from April 7, 2012 to September 22, 2012 and October 5, 2013 to March 29, 2014. And two volumes of OVA were also released. This work can be said to be the most successful basketball manga of "Weekly Shonen Jump" since "Slam Dunk", and the characters with rich personalities and handsome characters have also caused countless female fans to scream, so it can already be defined as a "female-oriented" work in terms of audience. In the story, Diguang Middle School, which is famous for basketball, has produced five players known as the Miracle Generation, but in fact, the Miracle Generation has a sixth member, and he is the male protagonist of this work, Tetsuya Kuroko. Instead of basketball high school, the fantastic Sixth Man chose a new school, Seirin High School. Here, Kuroko meets another male protagonist who has returned from the United States, Vulcan Ego, and the meeting of the two will lead Seirin to challenge the players of the Miracle Generation......

Martian Daily! Details of "Classroom☆Crisis" have been announced

This week's manga/novel sales, the pirates and Hokage are leading the way

This week, the O list is meeting with you again, and there is not much to say. In terms of manga, the latest volume of "One Piece" sold 1.66 million copies in three days, and it undoubtedly topped this week's manga list. The light novel is convenient for "Yang Yan Days" with nearly 100,000 copies in the next week, but this score is really more than a little lower than in previous years. In terms of non-library books, "Naruto" Sakura's secret book was released, and 40,000 copies successfully won the first place. Overall, this week's book sales were as modest as last week, with no major surprises, but not enough surprises.
