Chapter 192: Men and Women Kill
The duo of manga creators, Taka Mashiro and Akito Takagi, dreams of becoming a manga artist and is also a loyal reader of "Shonen Jump".
When the new issue of the magazine came out, they chose to buy it as soon as possible.
Although they had long known from the editor Tetsu Hattori that Your Name had been published in four issues of the magazine in an extremely rare way, they were still thrilled when they actually saw the work published in the main issue.
The main reason is that "Yuki Sakura", a genius girl manga artist, is the same age as them, and if they have the opportunity to be serialized in the main issue in the future, then they and her are the most direct competitors!
However, this competitor is now a big step ahead, and his debut novel can be serialized in the main magazine, but they can't even get a newcomer award like "Monthly Reward", which is too big.
But even so, they don't have any intention of bowing their heads and admitting defeat, their new work "100 million points" has been created, and they want to use it to impact the "Tezuka Reward"!
This is the second work of the two.
Stimulated by the failure of the monthly award, the two decided to participate in the Tezuka Prize, and Takagi Akito, who was in charge of the original work, came up with a confident work among the many original cases all night, both in terms of story and drawing, which is much better than "Two Earths".
They have already shown this work to Hattori Tetsu, which naturally surprised the other party, and even thought that this work did have a chance to impact the "Tezuka Reward", of course, it is unlikely that it will be "selected" at this level, after all, there has been no "selected" level of short story masterpieces for many years.
However, at the level of "access selection" and "masterpiece", you can still look forward to it.
Tetsu Hattori's surprise and evaluation made the two teenagers full of ambition, thinking that they had a good chance to defeat Enma Sakura in "Tezuka Reward" and complete the counterattack.
However, competition is competition, and they still appreciate excellent comics and are happy to recommend it to more people.
Like "Your Name", which is very suitable for female readers, it is also natural that it was recommended by the two to read it to the girls who have a good relationship, Ji Xiangye and Adou Miho.
Miho Adou, who dreams of being a voice actor, has been very interested in comics, but now that it's recommended by the boy she likes, she has to read it carefully.
As for seeing Ji Xiangye, she is a good friend of Yadou Miho, a particularly hearty girl, more boyish, after knowing that "Your Name" actually has the element of "male and female protagonists changing bodies", she didn't need others to recommend her, and she went straight into the pit.
After entering the pit, of course I was fascinated to see Ji Xiangye!
First of all, the painting style and character design of this comic make the reader's eyes shine, because it is really beautiful and exquisite, just like watching a "special effects blockbuster" in the comics.
Secondly, the early plot of "Your Name" is really interesting, as soon as the male and female protagonists change their bodies, they are each using each other's bodies to make a commotion.
The male protagonist uses the female protagonist's body to become the most attractive girl in the female protagonist's school, and its charm is both male and female!
The female protagonist used the male protagonist's body to easily attack the beautiful seniors who worked together that the male protagonist liked a little before, and even asked the seniors to take the initiative to apply for a date......
It's a pity that in the process of the male protagonist and the female protagonist, he has gradually been attracted to the female protagonist, and the interaction between the male and female protagonists is the sweetest and most loving!
So, this work, its charm is also like when the male protagonist operates the female protagonist's body, male readers and female readers are killed!
Many loyal readers of "Shonen Jump" didn't know that "Your Name" was only serialized for 4 issues, and they thought that this work was a new feature-length serialization!
And it's still the beginning of the frontispiece.,What is the origin of this mysterious newcomer author "さくら"?,Why didn't the magazine carry out any publicity?
You know, when a rookie cartoonist starts a new serialization, the magazine will hold a small theater interview in the magazine, and at the same time, the "titles" of the newcomer cartoonist will be revealed, such as "Tezuka Award Winner", "Golden Future Cup Winner" and so on.
Could it be that this mysterious newcomer "さくら" is actually a famous cartoonist who opened a new vest, but what's the point of this?
An excellent work like "Your Name" doesn't need to open a vest to test the water at all!
Regular readers are confused, but the body is still very honest, and since the beginning of this comic is so fun and fun, they voted for it on the reader survey!
Even those who were too lazy to send in the reader survey were enthusiastically inspired by Your Name this time!
Like Yadou Miho and Miyoshikaya, they are representatives of this.
As girls, in most cases, they will only buy shoujo comics like "Margaret", like "Shonen Jump", and even if they want to read them, they will also watch the works of the three pillars, which is the so-called "migrant manga".
"Migrant Worker Manga" is actually the biggest praise for a super popular serial comic, as long as it is a cartoonist who wants to make a lot of money by drawing comics, who doesn't want to draw a "Migrant Worker Manga"?
But this time, they are not for those national-level comics, but for "Your Name", which can be seen that this work has the ability to attract fans.
Mashiro Takama and Takagi Akito couldn't help but feel a little envious and jealous when they saw that these two girls they liked were so fascinated by a manga.
When do they create comics, it would be nice if they could like it like this, but unfortunately this possibility is not very large, because the works they draw are more biased, neither "royal road", nor "love", but brain-burning, such works girls like to have ghosts.
Because of the variables of many female readers, Koji Yoshida received an incredible 5th place in the "Quick Report"!
This is definitely a very good achievement, after all, the readership base of the previous pillar-level works is not covered, just like the Internet, a new book that has just been put on the shelves, without swiping tickets, it is impossible to directly compete for the first place on the monthly ticket list, and it can get the fifth place on the monthly ticket list, it is definitely a new book with great potential, as long as it is serialized in the future, it will not collapse, then it will be a god!
Now "Your Name" is such a situation......
Just now, Yujiro, Yoshida's colleague and competitor, he was still pretending to persuade Yoshida Koji to calm down and not have higher expectations for its results, anyway, it's just a short story, and it won't be serialized for a long time, and the results don't matter if it's good or bad, it's just a matter of 4 issues......
Yujiro is the editor in charge of the super genius new wife Eiji, and he is about to take off because he has successfully brought his new wife Eiji to Tokyo recently, and he can be said to be complacent.
As a result, as soon as the results of the "Quick Report" of "Your Name" came out, Yujiro was dumbfounded!
Koji Yoshida was also a little confused......
