Last year, the circulation of single books in the comic industry increased slightly, and the publication of e-books showed a good momentum. What's the story behind the million-selling work? Heard that the work of a certain best-selling manga is not in harmony with the editor-editor? These rumors that people who follow the comic book industry are very interested in, how much of it is true and how much is false?

The online version of the magazine "Cyzo", which specializes in insider disclosure, "CyzoPremium", announced the entire content of the first part of the series of reports "The Truth of Rumors in the Comic Industry Revealed 9 Consecutive Shots", and Tencent Animation Channel will take you to see what has exploded.

Naruto, which has countless fans all over the world, has its finale at the release of Weekly Shonen Jump on November 10, 2014. Regarding the end of this work, some readers suspect that it was suddenly "cut in half", but the relevant people of "JUMP" said that in fact, it is all caused by "the dependence of the editor-editor of "JUMP" on the author.

"The end of Naruto is definitely not something that is decided overnight. Since about 7 years ago, Kishimoto has been revealing to the people around him that he says, 'I don't want to be serialized'. I've heard him say many times that 'it's over when you're done with the next part' (wry smile). However, for this work, which is even more popular abroad than "One Piece", "JUMP" will not let it end so lightly. From Kishimoto's point of view, he should feel that 'it's finally over'. ”

"Shueisha's editor-editor works differently from Kodansha's editor-editor's way of working, and when manga artists are stuck in a bottleneck, they don't take the initiative to propose various ideas. Basically, 100% of them leave their creation to the cartoonists themselves. On the bright side, this is done to respect the originality of the manga artist, but it is precisely because of this that once you see a work become popular, it is easy to procrastinate and procrastinate......"

So, why did "Naruto" end at this time after 7 years of delay?

"The biggest reason is simply that new 'cash cows' such as "Volleyball Boy" and "Assassination Classroom" have thrived. As it stands, like "Naruto", "Bleach of Kubo", which has been begging to end the serialization as soon as possible, is about to come to an end. ”

In this era of alternating between the old and the new, the one who has refused to abdicate and give way to Xian is Eiichiro Oda, the author of the current national-level masterpiece "One Piece".

"Generally, after becoming a veteran of Kishimoto's level, I don't care much about the results of the popularity vote. Because they already have a fixed readership, even if a few words are a little lazy, it will not affect the sales of a single book. But only Oda is different, he is already so famous, but he still cares very much about the ranking of each popularity vote. Every time you finish a storyboard, you have to ask your assistant if it looks good. He is a person who genuinely loves comics and wants to draw better, better-looking works. ”

"Maybe that's why, all in all, Oda is very harsh on editorial-editing (laughs). He was asked in a TV interview: 'Editor-editing, what is it to you?' He replied, 'It's just a burden.'" However, Shueisha cut out this part during the inspection, which in turn created a very lively atmosphere of editing-editing...... Later, when Oda saw the "One Piece" quiz program in "The Great Clash of Contradictions" (Fuji TV), in which the editors and editors of the past generations participated, he belittled them and said, "There is not a single useful editor-editor in it." ’”

Oda sometimes expects the editor to come up with a novel idea or a clear instruction, but the editor's answer is often very disappointing. "As an editor-editor, is that all there is to the level of this kind of program......

On the other hand, when "Naruto" ended, Oda also drew a congratulatory picture on the title page of "One Piece" that incorporated deep friendship. After losing the comrades who have been fighting with him all along, what will Oda think of "JUMP"?

Japan's 2014 total box office announced! Frozen became the biggest winner

On January 27, the Japan Film Producers Association (hereinafter referred to as the "Film Federation") released the 2014 National Film Profile. According to the published figures, the number of moviegoers reached 161.11 million throughout the year, a year-on-year increase of 3.4%; Box office revenue reached 207,034 million yen, up 6.6% year-on-year. Among them, the box office revenue has successfully exceeded 200 billion again after four years, reflecting the prosperity of the Japanese film industry!

The increase in box office revenue outweighed the increase in the number of moviegoers because the average cost per person to attend a movie rose from 1,246 yen to 1,285 yen. In addition, the number of theaters screened was 3,364, unchanged from 3,318 the previous year, continuing the flat trend that began in 2008. Although there has been a decrease in independent cinemas, overall, it is quite stable.

As can be seen from the above numbers, the box office performance of Japanese movies in 2014 was quite good. However, this is all thanks to the contribution of "Frozen", which set the third highest box office result in history and earned a total of 25.48 billion yen. "Frozen" alone accounted for 12% of the overall box office in 2014. Without this work from Disney Animation, I am afraid that the overall box office would not have exceeded 200 billion yen. Not only that, thanks to the foreign animation "Frozen", it always makes foreign movies look a lot better overall. In 2014, the total box office revenue of works with a box office of more than 1 billion yen was 58.99 billion yen, and despite the fact that the super popular blockbuster "Frozen" supported the overall situation, it was still only about 7 billion yen more than the previous year's 51.81 billion yen. In terms of the number of works, the number of works that grossed more than 1 billion yen at the box office in 2014 decreased by 3 year-on-year to only 18. Even these 18 masterpieces that grossed more than 1 billion yen are a little inferior to the global box office, compared to the global box office. Overall, foreign films have been on a downward trend in Japan.

The absolute king's "Frozen" is followed by "Maleficent" (6.54 billion yen) and "Gravity" (3.23 billion yen). Among them, "Godzilla" (3.2 billion yen) and "Edge of Tomorrow" (1.59 billion yen), two original Japanese works and American adaptations, have also achieved good results. It is also important to note that the anime "Plane Story" also received 1.15 billion yen at the box office, becoming the second animation to exceed 1 billion yen at the box office.

As for the box office results of domestic films, there were 31 films that earned more than 1 billion yen, a slight decrease from the previous year's 35 films. In first place was "Forever 0", with a revenue of 8.76 billion yen. However, the "Rogue Kenshin" series released last year, "Kyoto Great Fire" and "The Last Chapter of the Legend", and when combined, the total box office revenue was 9.57 billion yen, surpassing "Forever 0" to become the king of domestic films.

In terms of domestic animated films, "STANDBYME Doraemon", a fully CG animation production zuò, ranked first, with a box office revenue of 8.38 billion yen. This was followed by "Lupin III vs Detective Conan THEMOVIE" (4.26 billion yen), "Detective Conan's Sniper in Another Dimension" (4.14 billion yen) and "Movie Doraemon Shin Nobita's Great Magic Realm - Beko and the 5-Man Expedition" (3.85 billion yen). This year, the number of works with box office receipts of more than 1 billion yen decreased by 5 from the previous year, to only 8 works, and the box office revenue also dropped significantly from a total of 40.29 billion yen to 31.07 billion yen, and the total box office of domestic films also fell from 48.8% to 37.8% the year before. Not only that, but compared to 2013, 2014 also saw a lot less large-scale popular family carnival titles for the whole family, such as "Madoka Magica-chan [New Chapter] Rebellious Story", "Gintama Ending: Forever Everything", and "We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day".

We all know that there are many works of Japanese animation that will be released in theater every year, and this year, these fixed works have risen and fallen. The "Doraemon" series, which has continued to be high at the box office in recent years, has produced two theatrical versions, with a total box office income of 8.38 billion yen, while the "Detective Conan" series also won 4.11 billion yen, and even the "Crayon Shin-chan" series has also earned 1.83 billion yen at the box office. However, on the other hand, the "Pokemon" series has continued to decline in box office revenue since 2006, and the "Pokemon XY Series Cocoon of Destruction and Tianxi" released this year has a very good production level, but it actually broke the lowest box office record in 12 years, achieving only 2.91 billion yen. and "The Tale of Kaguyahime", which was nominated for the 2015 Academy Awards Feature Animation Award some time ago, only received 2.47 billion yen at the box office at its own doorstep, which really reflects what it means to be "popular or not" compared to its fame.

Looking at the overall situation, although "Frozen" has fought for the animation industry, it still can't reverse the overall slow decline and still weak trend of the animation box office. It's worth noting that "Super Marines", another Disney blockbuster, was not counted in the 2014 year, and we can expect it to do well at the overall box office in 2015.

2014 domestic animation rankings with box office receipts exceeding 1 billion yen:

"STANDBYME Doraemon" (8.38 billion yen)

"Lupin the Third vs Detective Conan THEMOVIE" (4.26 billion yen)

"Detective Conan: Sniper in Another Dimension" (4.14 billion yen)

"Movie Doraemon Shin Nobita's Great Magic Realm - Beko and the 5-Man Expedition - (3.85 billion yen)

"Marnie in Memories" (3.53 billion yen)

"Pokemon XY Series Destruction Cocoon and Tian'an Nozoy" (2.91 billion yen)

"The Tale of Kaguya-hime" (2.47 billion yen)

"Crayon Shin-chan's counterattack machine qì man father" (1.83 billion yen)

2014 Overseas Animation Rankings with Box Office Receipts of Over 1 Billion Yen:

"Frozen" (25.48 billion yuan)

"Plane Story" (1.15 billion yuan)

Kosuke Fujishima couldn't stand it anymore, and netizens slapped bricks and announced the closure of Twitter

Kosuke Fujishima, author of popular manga such as "Arrest Warrant" and "My Goddess," announced on Twitter on January 27 that he would be temporarily retiring from Twitter, causing heated discussions among netizens.

The cause of the incident can be traced back to September 2014, after the RPG "Legend of Love", which was set by Kosuke Fujishima as the character, announced the design of the new character Rossy, Kosuke Fujishima was fiercely criticized by netizens for "regressing in the painting style" and "not being cute at all". The war continues to this day.

Yesterday, a netizen comforted Kosuke Fujishima: "You can only endure until they stop, and your job is to draw attractive characters that they can't ignore." Kosuke Fujishima responded, "yes." I'm going to keep going, but I'm going to quit Twitter for a while. ”

Then he tweeted a second time: "I don't want to paint so badly, I still want to draw things that people like." But perhaps this idea is problematic in itself. I'm a full-time cartoonist, so I don't just give up, but I still hope to draw something that everyone will like. ”

However, Kosuke Fujishima himself seems to realize that it is a bit impossible to quit Twitter like this. Later, he said to himself, "Maybe I'll be back in a few days...... "Twitter is such an addictive place."

The TV anime version of the "White Box" novel version of "White Box" (original name: SHIROBAKO イントロダクション), which is currently on the air, was officially published on January 27. However, less than a day after its publication, some netizens exposed the illustrations on the inside pages, pointing out that the novel version was too meaty.

As you can see from the illustrations, the heroines are all frank with each other in a public bathhouse. Although the most important part is blocked by the little yellow duck, there is no ambiguity at all about the places that can be exposed.

The novel version of "White Box Prequel" was co-created by Michiko Ito, Sou Tanaka, TAMA, and Ikuko Yoshinari and published by JUMPjBOOK. It tells the story of 5 members of the anime club that happened before the TV anime version.

"Japan's Most Desirable Neighborhood to Live In" Ranking! Akiba is the 4th place in the original residence

The latest issue of the information magazine "Tokyo Walker" released yesterday in the 3rd issue of 2015 with a special feature entitled "2015 Ranking of the Most Wanted Regions to Live in Japan". Unexpectedly, Akihabara, the holy land of otaku, actually ranked fourth.

Although Akihabara is not a traditional residential area, it has grown rapidly in recent years. Not only have apartment buildings increased, but rents are also cheap. The biggest reasons why people want to move here are "I like anime and games" and "It's close to Electric Town", and most of the voters are men between the ages of 10 and 40.

This survey is the result of an online survey of men and women between the ages of 10 and 60 who live in 1 prefecture and 3 prefectures in the Kanto region. A total of 2,530 valid respondents responded. Since it was an online survey, the results were not too surprising.

By the way, the first place in this ranking is Kichijoji Temple, which is convenient for transportation and greenery, the second place is Yokohama, which is home to sightseeing spots and commercial facilities, and the third place is the stylish and elegant Jiyugaoka.

The work has been serialized in the January issue of Cocohana (Shueisha) since 2012, and has been sold in four manga monographs, with the final volume of the fifth volume to be released in March. The total serialization time of the work is as long as three years and two months, and today it finally comes to an end!

The final episode of the manga was published in the March issue of Cocohana, which was released today, and tells the story of what happened to Akiko Higashimura, Hidaka-sensei, after the death of Hidaka-sensei, Akiko Higashimura's mentor. In addition, the manga work "Write and Draw" has been nominated for the "Manga Award 2015". The winners of the contest will be announced in late March.

Brief introduction of the work "Write and Paint":

The protagonist of the story, Akiko Hayashi, was born in a remote town in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan, who considers herself a drawing genius and dreams of becoming a shoujo manga artist. When she was in high school, she made a plan: to enter an art university and make her debut as a cartoonist while she was in school. For this reason, she enrolled in the training class of the American University in the Hidaka Painting Classroom. There, she met Kenzo Hidaka, a mentor who influenced her life. Soon, her ego was shattered by Hidaka, a training class instructor and painter. What awaits her every day is Spartan-style super-strict guidance. That's it.,The dream story of Hidaka-sensei, a strict and gentle teacher, and Akiko, a shining girl who often gets carried away, begins.。

Exams, university life, job search, work life, ...... This is an autobiographical work of memories that tells the story of every step you have taken to become a manga artist!

The choice of elegant house! "Idol Master" Pain Seal is on sale

The theatrical version of the anime "Idol Master Towards a Glorious Future" has released a set of original official seals for "Idol Master" in collaboration with the website "Pain Seal Hall", which specializes in the sale of anime stamps, and will accept pre-orders from January 28th.

This set of stamps is produced by full pre-order customization and has a total of 26 patterns (each character has two types, round and square, for a total of 13 characters). Because it is fully customized, both the engraved text and the font can be freely chosen. In addition, this set of seals can also be engraved with your real name and used as a bank seal. However, use this stamp to get a bank stamp and the whole world will know how homely you are......

Secondly, 4 high-quality leather stamp mats will also be available at the same time. The color pictures used on the mats are all promotional images of "Idol Masters Towards a Glorious Future". In addition, all fans who order this set of stamps will receive a "Pain Seal Original Storage Box" as a gift. The box is a poster of "Idol Masters Towards a Glorious Future", which can store two seals, round and square, at the same time. The storage box is not for sale, and only those who have a custom stamp can get it.

Japanese otaku is not saved! The Self-Defense Forces documentary sends "Blue Steel" stickers

The documentary "WEAPONFRONT-LINE Maritime Self-Defense Force Aegis: The Strongest Shield to Protect Japan," filmed with the assistance of the Maritime Self-Defense Force of the Japanese Ministry of Defense, will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on February 4. However, such an official documentary disc bonus is a limited sticker for the anime version of "Arpeggio of Blue Steel", and the video bonus is a video of Aimi Numakura, the voice actor of the heavy cruiser Takao in "Arpeggio of Blue Steel", visiting Aegis. Now that the line between the anime and military circles is becoming more and more blurred, it's no wonder that there is a voice that always says "Japan is starting to use anime to teach bad teenagers again"!

The original work of "Arpeggio of Blue Steel" is an ocean SF battle chronicle serialized by ArkPerformance in the monthly magazine YOUNGKINGOURS, which tells the story of the story of Chihaya, a non-commissioned officer candidate, who encounters Iona, a mental model of the Fog Fleet submarine "I-401". The TV anime version aired in 2013. The first part of the theatrical version, which is re-edited for TV and 40 minutes of new content, will be released in Japan on January 31.

The PSV game "How to Raise a Passerby Heroine" was released at the end of April

I believe that many anime fans have already watched the new "Cultivation Method of the Passerby Heroine" in January. Although this work can be divided into "Hou-Gongfan", both the setting of the heroine and the delicate portrayal of each character in the work can be said to be three points, and Matsuoka's dubbing is also remarkable. In recent years, the success of a work in animation has often opened up the game market, and this work is no exception. According to the latest news: PSV "Passerby's Heroine's Cultivation Method - blessingflowers- (First Return Limited Edition)" will be released on April 30, 2015.

Although the price of this first limited edition is as high as 9,504 yen, it includes a bonus CD, a special cloth poster (B2 size), a DLC bonus, and more, so I believe that both fans of the original work and those who are familiar with the Guò animation will have some fun from it.

In "The Cultivation Method of the Passerby Heroine", An Yilun, who is in the dead house, also took advantage of the spring break to go to work in order to buy more Blu-ray discs. One day, he meets a young girl on a ramp full of cherry blossoms and helps her pick up a hat that has been blown away by the wind. Because of being moved by the girl's posture, An Yilun also had the idea of making a doujin game with the girl as the heroine. However, a month later, he discovers that the girl is none other than his classmate, named Megumi Kato. In order to make zuò games, An Yilun also persuaded Sawamura Spencer Eiriri, a painting master in the art department of the same grade, and honor students Shiyu Kasumigaoka and Megumi Kato to form a doujin game club and start making zuò doujin games. And as the reputation of the club grew, it was later joined by Michiru Himo, who went to sea on Hajima Island and was good at music...... The animated version of this work invited Saori Onishi, Ai Chino, Matsuoka Zhencheng and others to dub, and I believe that their performance in the game will not disappoint.

"Strange Stories of the White Tiger of the Incredible Game" began serialization at the end of February

Yuu Watase's latest work in the "Incredible Game" series, "Strange Tales of the Mysterious Game", will be serialized in the April issue of "Monthly Flowers" (Shogakukan), which will be released on February 28th. The news was announced in the March issue of Flowers, which was just released today (January 28).

"The Incredible Game" tells the adventure story of Mizhu Yuki Yuki and her friend Yui Hongo who travel to the "Book of the Four Gods" to become the Suzaku Shrine Maiden and the Blue Dragon Shrine Maiden respectively in search of the Seven Star Warriors. Since 1992, it has been serialized in "Shoujo COMIC" (Shogakukan). Later, in 2003, Yuu Watase began to write "The Legend of Genmu" with the Genbu shrine maiden as the main character in the "Shoujo Comic Supplement" (Shogakukan). The work was later transferred to the monthly "flowers" and serialized until 2013. The entire "Incredible Games" series has a total circulation of more than 17 million copies of the manga book, and has also been adapted into TV anime and stage plays. Now, "White Tiger Story", which tells the story of the White Tiger Shrine Maiden, will draw a successful end to this series.

In addition, a new version of the stage play "Incredible Game" from the perspective of Onijuku starring Yutaka Kiya, a member of the popular visual kei air band GoldenBomber, will also be staged from March 19th.
