Chapter 42: Oda Nobuaki
"What did you say?"
Oda Nobuaki lightly placed the sketch in his hand on the table next to him, not quite believing what Takahara Naotai said, thinking that he was joking with himself.
However, Naoyasu Takahara's next words made Oda Nobuaki have to believe it.
"Isn't your Onmyoji going to be serialized in the first new manga of the next issue! Now, there's a manga called One Punch Man, which has taken your place. ”
"Who told you?" Oda Nobuaki's face was a little ugly, the onmyoji manga was a work that he had been meticulously crafting for three years. Yoshida Zengo has already told him that he will be serialized in the next issue of the first edition of the new manga serial. At this moment, how can you suddenly say that you will withdraw?
One Punch Man comics? Where did this come from?
"Of course it's my boss, Yoshihiro Omura, I don't know if your boss Yoshida Zengo has told you. ”
"I haven't been notified yet, so I'm going to ask Editor Yoshida now if he really removed my Onmyoji. ”
With a hint of anger, Oda Nobuaki left his studio and walked towards Yoshida Zengo's office.
The reason why Naoyasu Takahara came to Oda Nobuaki was not because of this matter to stir up trouble.
Instead, I was busy for a year, and finally finished the manga of the Soul Seal, and I wanted to come to Oda Nobuaki to relax and find inspiration for the next manga by the way.
At the same time, I also want to see how Oda Nobuaki's new work is.
When he heard from Yoshihiro Omura that the Onmyoji manga that Oda Nobuaki had created for three years had been withdrawn, he also felt a little incredible.
After all, Oda Nobuaki is one of the pillars of the Creation Comics Society.,At present, the creation comics are in the hot serialization magazine.,There's also a work that Oda Nobuaki is serializing.,Future Samurai.。
The feedback from fans is also quite good, and the quality of the onmyoji is also good, and even I am fascinated by it.
How could the leadership above suddenly change their works? Aren't they afraid of offending Oda Nobuaki?
The current Genesis Manga Company publishes a total of 6 types of comics. They are the first edition of the creation of the new comic serialization, the creation of the new comic serialization, the creation of the new comic serialization, the creation of the comic classic serialization, the creation of the comic list, the creation of the comic hot serialization.
And Oda Nobuaki's Onmyoji manga, the first edition of the new manga serialized is equivalent to a boutique recommendation, that is, as long as it is the first edition of the new manga serialized work, the potential is very high.
As long as the three issues are hot, you can be serialized on the hot comics, once you get on the hot serials, it's a fixed price of wealth, if you can't sell well, you will get the new comic serials, and you won't make any money.
In other words, the first version of the new comic serialization is the touchstone of the market, if you are gold, go to the hot serialization, no, I'm sorry, go to the new comic serialization, if the sales are still not good, then you can only give up.
And this litmus test, the comics serialized, are discussed by senior editors in various departments, and under each editor, there are dozens of professional cartoonists.
Who can go and who can't go is the result of everyone's discussion and final voting.
And Oda Nobuaki is the group of Yoshida Zengo who stands out. It's just that Naotai Takahara doesn't understand.,It's going to be published soon.,How can you temporarily replace the new work.,And replace the Onmyoji?
Naoyasu Takahara didn't understand, and Nobuaki Oda didn't understand it even more.
Why? A comic that I had never heard of directly replaced my comics? My three years were just worthless? If you say you want to withdraw it, you will remove it?
"Editor Yoshida, I hope you can give me an explanation. ”
In Yoshida Zengo's office, Oda Nobuaki stood in front of Yoshida Zengo with a blue face, and Yoshida Zengo had been silent, which made him even more angry.
Yoshida's old face moved, and finally sighed lightly and spoke.
"This is a decision made by President Yamada, and I have done my best. Your Onmyoji manga, just wait a minute!...... I'm deeply sorry. ”
Yoshida Zengo didn't expect Oda Nobuaki to know so quickly, he was still thinking about how to tell him tactfully about this, but at this time, it was Oda Nobuaki who found himself first.
How does this make him explain?
What right does the president have to change the decision he makes? Besides, after the president made the decision, he left the conference room directly.
What does this mean...... It couldn't be clearer.
"I'll go to the president. "Nobuaki Oda could not tolerate President Yamada making such a decision.
Wait? He Oda Nobuaki is not a person who can't afford to wait, if he has to wait, it will be a maximum of three to five issues, and the first edition of the newcomer's manga will be serialized for ten days, and it will only be one to two months at most.
That's nothing compared to three years.
But why should he wait for Oda Nobuaki's onmyoji? Why not the one, the punch man who popped up out of nowhere?
He couldn't swallow it.
Knock knock!
Oda Nobuaki, who was angry in his heart, knocked on the door of the president's office and started a little heavier.
"Enter. ”
President Yamada was still looking through the draft of the One Punch Man manga, and when he saw that it was Oda Nobuaki who came in, he knew what was going on.
"President Yamada, I would like to ask, why will my Onmyoji be removed in the next issue of the first edition of the new manga serialized?"
Ryosuke Yamada looked at Nobuaki Oda with an angry face, and he also knew that it was wrong to do so, but Ryosuke Yamada really wanted to change, and the comic of One Punch Man really gave him hope.
So, even if things are done unsatisfactorily, he has to do it.
The Creation Comics Club, if you want to become the first comic club, you must have the courage to change. Risk and return coexist, if you want greater returns, how can you be afraid to take risks?
"Oda Nobuaki, I know that my decision is a bit hasty and dissatisfied, but I have a manga submission here, which gives me new hope for the manga industry, and also allows me to see the possibility of the creation of the manga company. So ......"
"So you removed my Onmyoji?"
Nobuaki Oda couldn't accept President Yamada's statement, and he didn't want to wait for the next installment after One Punch Man.
What should I do if a manga pops up from somewhere, and the president is talking about it again?
If you continue to wait, I'm afraid that my onmyoji manga can only be put in the corner and eat dust. Three years of time may be wasted, how many three years can you squander?
So Oda Nobuaki wants to fight, it is his own, why should he give it to others? Oda Nobuaki plans to force President Yamada, after all, he is in the Creation Manga Club, and he still has weight.
The current hot serialized comics have their own comics.,And the popularity is far more than several other hot serialized comics.。。
He didn't believe it, and President Yamada would insist on doing so. Oda Nobuaki thought of this and spoke directly.
"President Yamada, if you still insist on letting One-Punch Man replace Onmyoji, then I can only say sorry to you and leave the Creation Manga Society......"
