Chapter 191: Quick Report
Taking advantage of the moment of rest in painting, Enma Sakura casually flipped through the sample issue of the new issue of "Shonen Jump".
I have to say that the editor of "Shonen Jump" Sasaki Shang still attaches great importance to the work "Your Name", and it is clear that it is only a short manga that has only been serialized for 4 issues, but he made an exception and gave it the treatment of a frontispiece color page.
This is probably equivalent to the network station pushing a certain work, giving a "big seal push" and "splash screen recommendation".
However, as soon as the comics were released, there was this kind of treatment, and they were basically famous cartoonists, just like a great god would have a big cover push as soon as the book opened.
But Enma Sakura, a newcomer, received such treatment with the work "Your Name", which shows the importance that "Shonen Jump" magazine attaches to this talented girl manga artist.
Of course, the super high quality of "Your Name" is also the fundamental reason why the magazine chose to do this.
The magazine is ready to make this work unsatisfactory and only earn word of mouth.
Enma Sakura went directly to the "Your Name" part of the sample magazine, and the comet and the beautiful starry sky scene at the beginning of it still caught the reader's eye.
Enma Sakura did not use the full name of "Yuki Sakura" as a pen name, but only used the hiragana name "さくら" of "Sakura", which is very mediocre.
However, as long as she keeps drawing, this mediocre pen name "さくら" will definitely become a legend in the comic world!
When Enma Sakura was looking at the sample magazine, her editor-in-charge, Koji Yoshida, was not idle, but picked up the girl's new work "The Dancing Girl of Izu" and enjoyed it.
At this glance, he plunged headlong into this half-completed short comic......
Obviously he had already learned about the girl's profound painting skills and superb painting skills through "Your Name", but when he watched "The Dancing Girl of Izu" now, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this painting was so beautiful that it made him feel a little put before the horse.
He patronized and admired the paintings, and he didn't even look at the plot carefully, he always had the feeling that he was reading a famous book in the comics, and the whole comic had a very unique texture.
He felt that he was surrounded by a mood of melancholy and grief, which can be said to empathize with the male protagonist of the comics, and he even felt as if he was being brought into the world of the work by the comics.
But in this, there is a heart-warming warmth.
Is this what it feels like to "heal people"?
The more he reads, the more he discovers that this new work of the girl is not only about the extremely beautiful scenery.
The real touching thing about the manga lies in the delicate portrayal of the subtle emotional waves between the male protagonist and the young dancer, the innocence and innocence of the dancer are like a clear spring that purifies the depressed and gloomy soul of the male protagonist, making this originally lonely Izu journey full of youthful throbbing and the romance of first love.
Should I say that I deserve to be a female comic creator, the interaction between the male and female protagonists and the grasp of feelings are really just right.
All this gave Koji Yoshida, as a reader, the illusion that after reading this work, he seemed to have really traveled to Izu and experienced a romantic encounter......
However, reading such a work, a faint melancholy and sadness also enveloped his heart, even if the girl has not drawn the ending, he, as a professional editor, can guess the ending.
This story is not bells and whistles at all, ups and downs, but it has its own unique texture and charm, which can be said to be full of artistry.
I don't know why, when Koji Yoshida's negative emotions arise, he inexplicably feels that the girl's studio is particularly cold and gloomy, which makes his negative emotions deeper.
Koji Yoshida suddenly noticed a problem, that is, he had never seen the girl's parents and relatives, is it a little strange?
Since Koji Yoshida didn't know, when he was looking through Enma Sakura's new work just now, there was also a powerful ghost who was gathering around him with great interest to watch it together......
As a mortal through and through, of course he can't see the ghost thing named "Kawashima Mizuna", but everyone has a little bit of intuition, and it's normal for him to be hairy in his heart when he is so close to the ghost.
Koji Yoshida didn't bother with the girl's parents and relatives, just because at the girl's age, signing the contract must require her guardian to be there, and the member of the club who is responsible for signing the contract should have seen her guardian......
Koji Yoshida put down the original manuscript of "The Dancing Girl of Izu", and he found that although the girl's studio had many tools, it was very neat and clean, as if there was a special servant to help her clean up, but he found no trace of the existence of other people.
If this is true, then this is unthinkable for a creator who needs to focus on painting......
Koji Yoshida has been to many manga creators' studios, and the girl is so clean and tidy, which is simply unique.
"さくら teacher,I've just taken a closer look at your new work.,It's still very good.,It's very suitable for submitting a manuscript Tezuka reward.,When you're all done.,Notify me to get the original.,Is it okay?" Koji Yoshida said.
Now Koji Yoshida calls Yama Sakura "Teacher", which is also natural and heartfelt, after all, she has already published her works in the main issue of "Shonen Jump", and then she has also shown her extraordinary talent and potential, which makes Yoshida Koji admire very much.
Yan Moying nodded, and continued to immerse herself in painting, her movements were very skillful and freehand, and she looked like an old painter, she really loved painting since she was a child, and she has persistently painted until now.
"Teacher, what do you think of this issue, are you still satisfied?" Koji Yoshida asked.
"It's okay." Enma Sakura replied lightly.
Koji Yoshida then carefully asked Enma Sakura if he needed his help running errands in life, and he would do a good job for him, even if he was not available, he could let the intern or the newly hired rookie editor do it.
Don't look at Koji Yoshida's humble appearance in front of Enma Sakura, in fact, his qualifications are still very deep in the magazine.
Enma Sakura thought about it for a while, and gave money to ask Koji Yoshida to help her run errands and buy some snacks, Dongying's snacks are indeed very exquisite, very creative at the same time, and the taste is also good, she already likes it.
"No problem, I'm going to buy it for Mr. さくら!" Koji Yoshida said happily, he finally felt that he had a bit of a role to play as the editor-in-charge, after all, he couldn't point out anything to the other party in his works, so he could only work hard to brush the other party's favorability in other aspects.
After a few more days, a new issue of "Shonen Jump" was finally released, and the "quick report" of the works published in this issue also came out soon.
"Quick report" is a rough count of the popularity survey, in addition to the "quick report", there is also "Xiaozheng", which is a more accurate statistics.
On every issue of the magazine,There will be "Quick News" and "Xiaozheng",In those long-term serialized comic works,If "Xiaozheng" ranks backwards in several issues,Then this work will face a halving.。
As the editor in charge of Enma Sakura, Koji Yoshida is of course very concerned about the "Flash" results of "Your Name", even if he doesn't expect much from its popularity, but what if it counterattacks with the quality of his work?
