Whether in China or in District 11, the popularity of "Chess Soul" continues to rise.

After publishing "HeisnotZuo", ComicFuture released the third volume of "Chess Soul" at the same time.

Without the blessing of animation, the sales of the third volume reached 450,000 copies in a single week.

Ye Hexu grinned when he learned of this data.

"What's the matter, compared to "Hunting Abyss", "Chess Soul" is still far behind." Jian Xiaomei explained.

"It's far from it, but I've already felt the pressure, although I don't know where this pressure comes from...... Ye Hexu put his hands behind his head.

Jian Xiao's eyebrows raised slightly, now that the new volume of "Hunting the Abyss" has exceeded 700,000 in a single week, with such an obvious advantage, Ye Hexu is still not at ease?

"Can you guess...... If Y's continues to be updated, it should be even hotter than Hunting Abyss...... Maybe. Ye Hexu suddenly shook his head again, "After all, "Y's" is not serialized on "ComicFuture". ”

"That's it...... Not at all comparable. Jian Xiaomei said seriously.

"However, I always feel that after the last few episodes, "Chess Soul" is about to take off." Ye Hexu said softly.

Momentum?

Jian Xiaomei was confused, although the plot of "Chess Soul" has been more pleasing to readers recently, but when it comes to the momentum...... Is it really that easy?

No matter what others thought, she didn't believe it.

"Young Leap" Editorial Department, Conference Room.

The editors huddled together and looked at the leaderboard of a forum.

After the latest publication of the major magazines, many forums voted on the popularity of the magazine's comics.

The pace of the comic of "Slam Dunk" has dropped a little recently, but since the protagonist did not play, the readers' emotions did not fluctuate much, but they were more and more looking forward to the performance of the protagonist in the next game, especially since the next game was a knockout match.

Readers' expectations have also translated into votes for "Little Book" - so far, "Slam Dunk" has not dropped in the rankings, but has more votes.

This situation, which is the same as the comments and popularity on the Internet, proves that the slowdown of "Slam Dunk" is extremely successful.

"Ishizawa, I didn't expect Mr. Tamagawa to suddenly let the protagonist's team lose the game, and the effect was not bad. Not only did the vote not fall, but the feedback from online readers also seemed to be good. A middle-aged editor laughed.

"Haha, Team Leader Kotani, it's all my luck. When I first saw that name, I was also shocked. The editor, who is called Ishizawa, scratched his head and smiled, "Later, Tamagawa-sensei explained to me why, and I think he made sense. So, I agreed with his approach. Speaking of which, you may not believe it, but when I made this decision, I still had in my mind that if it really didn't work, I would submit my resignation. I didn't expect to come back to life......"

"If you submit your resignation, I'm afraid the editor-in-chief won't agree."

Ishizawa listened to Kotani's words, squinted his eyes, and smiled without answering.

Yokoi, who was sitting in front of the computer screen, sneered, Ishisawa is the kind of person who gets cheap and sells well.

He'd never heard of an editor who left for that reason, unless the editor didn't want to do it in the first place. Moreover, he can be sure that even if the ranking of "Slam Dunk" really drops, Ishizawa will not leave.

"That's right. The comic that came in third place was called "Chess Soul". The name is somewhat familiar, but I haven't seen much of it. What kind of comic is this? "Team leader Kotani looked down, under the competitive comics, there is a comic called "Chess Soul", which is far from the popularity of "Slam Dunk", and even the popularity of the second place is much higher than him.

"Go manga, serialized in ComicFuture." Yokoi explained.

"Huh? ComicFuture's comics, I'm a little scared right now. "Hunting the Abyss" has only barely recovered its sales as a single book to the present. The magazine almost suffered. Kotani pushed the frame of his glasses, not too optimistic.

Yokoi wrinkled his nose, Kotani is not too young, it is impossible to learn Huaxia, and it is estimated that he has no heart to watch "Chess Soul".

"Hunting the Abyss" is not bad, but the author's pen is still shallow, and some points have been deducted from the storyboard of the fierce fight, which has little advantage compared with other comics. Moreover, the animation of "Hunting the Abyss" has just been introduced, and sales should be much better after that.

"The recent results of "Hunting the Abyss" are okay, right? There is still a week left this month, and 200,000 copies have already been sold. ”

A voice suddenly came from behind Kotani.

Xiao Gu hurriedly turned around first, but saw a middle-aged man with thin and tall body and short hair standing behind him, and at this moment, the middle-aged man was looking at him sharply.

"Total ...... Editor. No, "Hunting the Abyss" has been released in seven copies, and only 200,000 copies have been sold in a single month, shouldn't it be too much? Kotani explained.

"The anime of "Hunting Abyss" will be broadcast in January, and sales should increase. Moreover, the author has only been painting for two years, so we can give a little more time. Besides, if the story doesn't jump, the hot-blooded comics, the more you go to the back, the more popular it is. The editor-in-chief's gaze moved to the monitor again, "How's it going?" Are there any good manga abroad? ”

"Nope." Xiao Gu shook his head and said, "I haven't found a work like "The Legend of the Dragon King". ”

"Really?" The editor-in-chief rubbed his chin and glanced at Yokoi sitting in front of the screen again, "Yokoi, you come with me." ”

Yokoi was slightly stunned, immediately stood up, and followed Yokoi into the conference room next door with trepidation.

After closing the door, the editor-in-chief motioned for Yokoi to sit down, and then asked, "I'm going to go to China next week to promote our work." By the way, I want to find a few popular comics to read, what do you have to recommend? ”

Yokoi scratched his head, "The top comics in China have all been introduced, and the famous ones are probably the comics of "Leap". ”

"Leap is not good, the cost is too high." The editor-in-chief rubbed his chin, the copyright of Huaxia Comics is not in the same magazine, even if the sales volume of "Juvenile District is very large, it is impossible to get all the popular Huaxia Comics," "That's a pity, this trip to Huaxia is estimated to be relatively monotonous." ”

When Yokoi heard this, he suddenly felt the urge to speak, but in the end he was swallowed hard.

"You...... What is there to say. The editor-in-chief saw that Yokoi's face changed and quickly returned to normal, so he guessed Yokoi's thoughts.

"That...... I think there is a comic that is relatively good, but the popularity is not in the top few in China for the time being. However, there may be a chance of a fire in the future. Yokoi said.

"What comics?"

"Chess Soul, a competitive comic with the theme of Go."

"Interesting?"

"This ...... It depends on how readers perceive this manga, and although it has not been introduced now, some forums have ranked it in the top three of competitive comics. Yokoi said.

"Chess Soul?" The editor-in-chief frowned slightly, "I'll go to Huaxia next week, and I'll ask about this comic, right?" ”

"You're going to MangaFly next week, right? "Chess Soul" was serialized in "ComicFuture". Yokoi reminded.

"What does it matter? We just asked about the comics, and since the two magazines are in the same city, it's easier to ask. The editor-in-chief's face, which had been tense, finally showed a smile and muttered to himself, "It's interesting to be in the top three." ”
