Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong were surprised, but when they think about it carefully, it is really the case.

A 46-page comic is certainly easier to engage readers, but it's much less effective than the months of continuous updates like Steelcore.

"However, the 46-page serialization of "The Gate of Eternal Life" in this issue must have had an impact on us, right?" Wang Wenhong frowned.

"The impact is there, but it may not be as big as it seems." As soon as Shen Xin spoke, he saw the other three people puzzled, so he said patiently, "Occasionally, a large piece may make readers feel happy, but it also makes readers look forward to the future length of "The Gate of Eternal Life" - of course they hope that "The Gate of Eternal Life" will often have 46 pages per week, but in fact, the picture of "The Gate of Eternal Life" is very delicate and complex, and it will definitely not be possible to draw so many drawings in a week. As time goes by, readers will inevitably be disappointed with Uematsuno and "The Gate of Eternal Life" after discovering that "The Gate of Eternal Life" is not a large serialization. ”

Shen Xin's speculation is only empirical, but with the meticulousness of the picture of "The Gate of Eternal Life", it is definitely impossible to update 40 pages per week, plus Zhi Songye still has to think, draw name, revise the original manuscript and other work, and the creation time is even more tense.

Of course, Shen Xin is not saying that this 40-page update will have a negative impact on "The Gate of Eternal Life", but that this operation cannot provide long-term effective help for the later results of the comics, let alone form a crushing situation for other comics like "Steel Refining".

When Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong heard this, they seemed to be thinking about Shen Xin's words.

"However, if you just look at this update, Uematsu-sensei's approach is not wrong, right?" Xi Muhan asked.

"That's right." Shen Xin agreed with Xi Muhan's statement, "I'm just saying that it is not yet known what effect "SLAM DUNK" can achieve. It may overtake "SLAM DUNK", but of course, we also have the possibility of continuing to be number one. BY THE WAY, WHAT'S THE GIFT OF SLAM DUNK? ”

Shen Xin is also more curious about the statement of "Young Leap".

If everyone has it, it means that the cost must not be high, otherwise, the cost of comics is too large, which is not a good thing for the revenue of the magazine.

"The Gate of Eternal Life" is a large 46-page serialization, and what "SLAM DUNK" is, it is worth looking forward to.

"I forgot about it." Yan Fei hurriedly turned the computer screen and looked at the cover carefully, and then a look of "sudden realization" appeared on her face, "It's a simple calendar book of "SLAM DUNK", it doesn't look too big, it should be a giveaway type." It's time for the 11th district to celebrate the New Year, and it makes sense for the magazine to send a calendar. ”

"Really?" Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, and then a little lost.

After all, this is the first calendar of "SLAM DUNK", although the production should not be too good due to the cost, but for Shen Xin, it is somewhat collectible.

"I also posted a calendar picture of "SLAM DUNK" on the Internet, and it looks very good." Wang Wenhong picked up the photo and put it in front of Shen Xin.

This is an image from a comic forum in Area 11, with a total of 12 illustrations minus the cover.

Including the cover, all the illustrations tell the wonderful picture of the normal game between Lingnan and Xiangbei, in other words, this is a calendar made of Shen Xin's previous drawing of the spread, and the picture on the cover is taken from the inside page of the latest issue of the magazine, under the gaze of Yuzhu, Xiangxiang, Tomita and Mu Gangxian, the scene of Hanamichi dunking and scoring.

After turning the page, turning the pages is equivalent to reviewing the classic battle between Lingnan and Xiangbei teams.

Shen Xin let out a sigh of relief when he saw this calendar, and then shook his head again.

"What's wrong, Mr. Shen?" Yan Fei hurriedly asked.

"I don't know whose idea it was, but this calendar means a lot. Think about it, how it would feel when you read the latest episode and then flip through the calendar again? Shen Xin didn't wait for others to answer, and added, "Just like some series or movies, when a big plot is completed, in order to arouse the reader's inner touch, this calendar is very meaningful." Thank you to the editorial team of "Shonen Leap" for me. ”

Yan Fei nodded, and Wang Wenhong fell into long thought.

Shen Xin didn't say it, he didn't think there was any difference in this calendar, and now looking back, it does have a little meaning.

"SLAM DUNK" has been serialized in episode 184 so far, and if you take a picture for each plot, the impact on the reader is indeed not as good as the wonderful picture of choosing a single game.

The 46-page serial of "The Gate of Eternal Life" compares the closing words of Lingnan and Xiangbei and a calendar...... The winning or losing trend of the small book is really not easy to judge.

"Wait, although "Eternal Gate" has some advantages, "SLAM DUNK" is not weak, and then, it depends on the ranking." Shen Xin took a deep breath and picked up the pen.

……

Haruka Tamagawa took the latest issue of the magazine and read it three times.

After reading it, Haruka Tamagawa's face was full of helplessness.

"It's really a fairy fight...... "Tamagawa Haruka sighed, "I can't compare at all." ”

Ishizawa put away the name of "The Strongest Pitcher" and comforted: "Teacher, there is still a chance in the future." ”

"It's gone...... There is no chance. Tamagawa Haruka shook his head, ""The Gate of Eternal Life" uses a large length of 46 pages to compare it with this sentence of "SLAM DUNK", if it is only 20 pages, there is no suspense at all in the ranking of this issue of the small book, Mr. Shen is too strong. ”

"NO, YOU'RE SAYING THAT 'ETERNAL GATE' CAN'T COMPARE TO 'SLAM DUNK'?" Ishizawa was taken aback.

No matter how you say it, "The Gate of Eternal Life" has also been selling well in District 11 for more than ten years, and this time it is a 46-page ultra-long serial, which definitely has an advantage.

Of course, the plot of "SLAM DUNK" is also gripping, and the emotional expression is also good, but if "The Gate of Eternal Life" is not as good as "SLAM DUNK", it is unlikely, right?

"That's what I meant. FOR ME PERSONALLY, THE WORDS OF "SLAM DUNK" MEAN MUCH MORE THAN ANY OTHER MANGA. Of course, the calendar is not bad either. Haruka Tamagawa closed the magazine and looked back at Ishizawa, "Reading preferences are a very personal thing, and manga artists have their own works to enjoy. The comics I admire, other cartoonists may not think very well. It's just that...... I think the latest words of "SLAM DUNK" are more meaningful, and they don't need to be recognized, right? ”

"WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS SLAM DUNK...... Which one is better? Ishizawa asked rhetorically.

"Surely you know, right? I just don't want to say it...... The two titles have their pros and cons to each other, but for me, the advantages of SLAM DUNK are too obvious. Of course, perhaps other manga artists think that "The Gate of Eternal Life" is better, because Uematsuno-sensei's manga is also of a very high standard. Tamagawa said with a smile.

Ishizawa was dumbfounded, thinking back to the content of the words "SLAM DUNK", it seems that Haruka Tamagawa was right.

JUDGING ONLY BY QUALITY, SLAM DUNK IS HIGHER, BUT THE ADVANTAGE OF ETERNAL GATE IS NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE LENGTH OF THE PAGE.

Which one will get the first place? It should be said that it is all possible.
