Compared with the light publishing industry, there are some familiar names in the manga publishing industry. After all, in this day and age, if you focus on publishing one thing, the revenue benefit is not as good as you think.

In other words, after the development of the publishing house, it is inevitable that it will not be involved in other fields. Nowadays, the relatively large publishing houses are generally comprehensive publishing houses.

It may seem a bit time-consuming to start with the entire manga publishing industry, so let's simply start with the three most well-known shonen manga magazines in the island country today.

"Weekly Shonen Jump", a subsidiary of Shueisha, mainly publishes hot-blooded shonen manga. The well-known works are the most fascinating manga works of Doma Buried - "One Piece", as well as "Bleach ", and of course, the pre-millennium hot-blooded classic "Dragon Ball".

"Weekly Shonen Magazine", a subsidiary of Kodansha, mainly publishes sports and adventure manga. There are many well-known works, but Jiang Yu only has an impression of the "Kanedaichi" series, which may be related to his lack of attention to sports comics.

Then there's "Weekly Shonen Sunday", which is owned by Shogakukan, which mainly publishes light-hearted, funny, suspenseful detective comics. The most well-known works are, of course, a self-proclaimed detective who is still serialized, but in fact is a 10,000-year-old elementary school student who is a grim reaper and "Doraemon".

From these three magazines, Shueisha, Kodansha, and Shogakukan are almost the three giants in the manga publishing industry. Among them, Shueisha and Shokukan belong to the same sub-department of the same publishing group, and they are clearly separated from each other and do not interfere with each other.

The rest of the more well-known manga publishers are Kadokawa Shoten, Hobunkan, Hakusensha, Kiishinsha, Autumn Shoten, and so on. Among these slightly inferior publishing houses, perhaps the most noteworthy is Kadokawa Shoten.

What started out as a major business of publishing the literature of the island nation has grown into a behemoth involving various publishing fields. And last year, the profit in the comics industry reached the second place among all publishing houses, breaking the monopoly of the traditional three giants for the first time.

Of course, Jiang Yu's main perception of it is still light, who made the only place in China where you can buy genuine light in the previous life is called "Tianwen Kadokawa"?

And Iida Ayano in front of him is an editor who belongs to the manga publishing department of Kadokawa Shoten. Shiina Mashiro can be valued by the other party, apparently because of her superb drawing work, and there are only a handful of people who can surpass her in this regard.

However, in comics, especially serialized comics, in addition to the influence of drawing skills, readers must be more concerned about whether the work itself tells a good enough story.

And this is precisely the only weakness of Shiina Mashiro, a non-debut manga artist with superb drawing.

After introducing himself, Jiang Yu let go of the hand holding the other party, thought about it, and said, "Shiina's problem...... It should be the arrangement of the storyline, right? ”

Iida Ayano nodded, and said helplessly: "Since the last time I received her first draft, I have changed it to the present, and I haven't grown at all......

"Uh...... I would like to ask, when was Shiina's first submission? ”

"Oh, I remember this very well, it must have been around October last year, right? After all, I suddenly received a submission from the United Kingdom. At that time, the entire editorial department was still wondering if someone had hung up the VPN to play a prank, and the content of the post at that time was also like it is now, with exquisite pictures and a messy story. ”

"Ah——! I'm sorry, Mahaku, but I'm not denying you what you're capable of. ”

Iida Ayano, who blurted out the whole sentence, immediately felt that something was wrong, and said slightly apologetically to Shiina Mashiro, who had buried his head at some point.

"That's what I thought...... But is there no progress at all? That's an exaggeration......"

Jiang Yu rubbed his chin and said after a moment of silence.

Iida Ayano shook her head, looking a little deflated and said, "I still have a few submissions from Mashiro here, do you want to see it?" ”

"Hmm...... It doesn't have to be. ”

Thinking about the original comic manuscript he saw before, Jiang Yu quickly shook his head. Exhaling a cloudy breath, he continued, "So as long as Shiina improves this shortcoming, her work should be able to be published in the magazine smoothly, right?" ”

"Of course~~ Mahariku's painting is rare and exquisite in the entire industry~"

In this regard, Iida Ayano gave full affirmation.

Turning his head to look at Shiina Mashiro, who seemed to be lost, Jiang Yu subconsciously touched the other party's little head, and at the same time attracted the surprised eyes of the other two.

Retracted his hand a little embarrassed, Jiang Yu hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Shiina." Subconsciously ......"

Shiina Mahaku shook her head, and Sakura's lips opened lightly: "Be tsu ni." ”

Gritting his teeth, the next moment, Jiang Yu said as if he had made up his mind: "Shiina——! I'll show you how to write a story! ”

"Eh——?"

"Oh~~"

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, after dinner and taking a shower, Jiang Yu sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, frowning tightly.

So, although I boasted about that kind of Haikou at the time, how do you teach others how to write stories?

Although such a straightforward statement may be a boast, Jiang Yu has indeed encountered many difficulties in writing stories before.

Regardless of whether the story itself is exciting enough, he is able to give a synopsis of the story that is at least layered in a relatively short period of time based on a proposition.

Perhaps it is the habit of reading books since he was a child that has given him a natural sensitivity to words.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yu found that he might still have to start teaching from looking at pictures and speaking like his Chinese teacher taught him to write essays when he was in elementary school.

However, considering that the other party was a girl of about the same age as himself after all, Jiang Yu finally decided to skip the first step, starting from summarizing the synopsis of the story, and first instilling the elements that are essential for a good story to the other party.

After sorting out his thoughts, Jiang Yu knocked on his legs, which were beginning to go numb, then put on his slippers and walked to Shiina Mashiro's room.

I knocked on the door, but this time I got a reply from the other party "please come in". After Jiang Yu walked in, there was no random pile of clothes on the floor of the room, only the album scattered all over the place and the original manuscript that Shiina Mashiro had just printed out today and was ready to submit.

If this can also be regarded as a kind of progress, then Jiang Yu said that he is really a little relieved~ Is it possible?

Silently tidying up the books in one place and putting them aside, and at the same time folding the scattered A4 paper according to the marked page number, Jiang Yu walked to the girl who was still writing on the tablet, and asked in a serious tone, "Do you still want to participate in the newcomer award, Shiina?" ”
