Chapter 1099: Building Momentum
The latest issue of "Shonen Leap" quickly spread among cartoonists.
Many people were more or less surprised when they saw this little book.
"SLAM DUNK" continued to rank first with 611 votes, "The Gate of Eternal Life" came in second with 580 votes, and "Young Exorcist" came in third with 557 votes.
"The Young Exorcist", which got the headpiece color page, couldn't even enter the top two, which also proves from the side how terrifying the two comics in front of it are.
In particular, "SLAM DUNK" stabilized its current position in the face of the impact of the other two manga, 30 votes ahead of the second place and more than 50 votes ahead of the third place.
Among the manga being serialized, there is only "SLAM DUNK" that can do this, and it has completed eight consecutive small book firsts.
"CAN'T ANYONE INTERRUPT SLAM DUNK'S STREAK OF NUMBER ONE?"
This question has popped up in the minds of many cartoonists in "Shonen Leap".
REALLY RELY ON "THE GATE OF ETERNAL LIFE" TO INTERRUPT "SLAM DUNK'S LITTLE BOOK RANKING"?
If it was placed two years ago, such a speculation, they would not dare to imagine that there would be a comic that would require the efforts of "The Gate of Eternal Life" to surpass.
"What's this? At the beginning, "Steel" also pressed "The Gate of Eternal Life" to the ground and rubbed it. ”
"I remembered. Especially the last ten words, almost all of them are the first in "Steel Forge". In this way, it is not new for "SLAM DUNK" to beat "The Gate of Eternal Life" and win the first place. ”
Someone pulled out the events of a few years ago on the Internet, and also made a self-made table to list the rankings of the year one by one.
Seeing this kind of rhetoric, readers of "The Gate of Eternal Life" immediately protested online.
"Huh? Are you deliberately causing trouble? It is a fact that "Steel Forge" won the first place, but this first place has a saying. First of all, "Steel Refining" was a big plot in the end, which lasted for several volumes, in order to support the first place for such a long time; Moreover, each episode of "Steel Forge" has about forty pages at the end, how can other comics compare with it? A large amount of people is stoned to death. ”
"That's right. "Steel" is very good, but it is not a martial victory, if the number of pages is the same, "Steel" may not be able to win "The Gate of Eternal Life" ......"
These controversies on the Internet, whether they are raising the bar, have given the three manga a lot of heat, especially "The Gate of Eternal Life" and "SLAM DUNK", as the center of the controversy, the two comics firmly attracted their respective readers.
FANS OF "SLAM DUNK" AND "ETERNAL GATE" HAVE ALSO PUT DOWN HARSH WORDS ON THE INTERNET.
"The first must be ours! If you don't believe it, we'll see. ”
The two sides quarreled to the end, and invariably ended with this sentence.
Before you know it, the battle between the two comics has begun.
Tachibana likes this atmosphere on the Internet, and at the same time, he is also looking forward to the final battle between the two manga.
Due to the previous incident, Tachibana Shin hopes that "The Gate of Eternal Life" can win, but in the face of the challenge of "The Gate of Eternal Life", if "SLAM DUNK" can have the last laugh, he can accept it, after all, the quality of "SLAM DUNK" is too high.
Anyway, it's all "Shonen Leap" comics, as long as it can create popularity, and by the way, increase the sales of the magazine, of course he likes to hear it.
In order to make the contradiction between the readers of both sides more acute, in the 47th issue of "Shonen Leap", Tachibana Shin posted an advertisement for "The Gate of Eternal Life" PK "SLAM DUNK", and at the same time noted that "The Gate of Eternal Life" and "SLAM DUNK" will prepare completely different gifts for readers in the next issue, but it is not clear what this gift is.
READERS WILL HAVE A WHIMSICAL IDEA TO KNOW WHAT KILLER FEATURES BOTH SLAM DUNK AND ETERNAL GATE HAVE.
However, this sentence also conveys a message that in the next issue of the magazine, the two top comics in the 11th district and the top two in the charts will each have a competition, which makes comic book lovers excited.
The next issue of the magazine is a must-buy!
Fearing that they would miss out on this issue, some people came to the bookstore early and paid the deposit money.
Any comic book lover is looking forward to the arrival of this issue.
The contest between the two comics in District 11 and the information revealed by "Shonen Leap" also affected the comic circle in China.
In the age of the Internet, the efficiency of information dissemination has exceeded that of the past, and shortly after the release of the 47th issue of "Young Leap", the poster was forwarded to Weibo, which quickly aroused discussion among readers.
"SLAM DUNK'S NEXT EPISODE WILL BE A BIG GIFT? I don't know what kind of gift it is. ”
"Isn't the game between Lingnan and Xiangbei over? Gong Yan threw in that three-pointer to stretch the difference to 4 points, and the Xiangbei team had the initiative. ”
"It's a pity, the latest episode is Gong Yan's memories, if the normal plot progresses, "SLAM DUNK" should end in this episode."
"If it's Xiangyang's reversal, it's really a 'big gift'."
"IF THAT'S THE CASE, I'M DUNK BURNED IT ALL."
"You say, will the 'big gift' of "SLAM DUNK", "Comic Future", too?"
"Impossible, right? Shonen Leap is purely hype, focusing readers' energies on the two comics and, at the same time, boosting Shonen Leap sales. SLAM DUNK has no rival in Comic Future, and Comic Future doesn't give anything big. ”
"Although "The Gate of Eternal Life" is serialized in light reading, this 'big gift' is estimated to not be reflected in light reading, which is annoying. obviously spent money, but there was a shortage of catties and two. ”
……
Readers are leaving their complaints online, and even a small number of readers are asking the reason under the official Weibo of "Comic Future".
Yu Chen was also confused, how did he know what prizes "Young Leap" would offer?
communicated with Shen Xin, and Shen Xin just told him that he was just delivering the manuscript normally, and he didn't know about the prize or anything.
Hearing this, Yu Chen also understood that the so-called "big gift" was really done by "Young Leap" itself, so he could only hold back his anger and see how "Young Leap" "made a move".
If readers make too much trouble online, Comic Future will probably follow suit.
After Shen Xin learned the news from Yu Chen, he immediately found Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong and asked the two of them about it.
"Yes." Wang Wenhong's answer was very direct, "The 11th district is very noisy, and it is estimated that the two comics are competing for the first place, which arouses the emotions of readers." Tachibana took advantage of this heat and created some gimmicks. ”
"The gimmick is for sure, but aren't you curious? "The Gate of Eternal Life" rejects the headline color page. Shen Xin explained.
Gravure color page...... It's not easy to do something. The previous issue of Shonen Leap was given to The Teenage Exorcist, but it was surpassed by SLAM DUNK and The Gate of Eternal Life. The headpiece color page of this issue was given to "The Strongest Pitcher" again...... I don't think the ranking of "The Strongest Pitcher" will be much better than the previous issue of "Young Exorcist". Yan Fei explained.
"I'm not talking about the header color page, I'm talking about what Mr. Uematsu exchanged for the headpiece color page." Shen Xin tapped the table twice, pondered for more than ten seconds, and then looked up at Wang Wenhong, "You go and communicate with Kotani Senmei, I want a scanned version of the next issue of "Young Leap", and let him give it to me as soon as the magazine goes on sale." ”
Yan Fei was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously, "Leave it to me." ”
