The editorial department of "Shonen Leap" has been very depressed in recent times, and the source of the depression is undoubtedly the Tachibana gentleman who was reported internally.

deducted half a month's salary to pay for his recklessness this time.

Tachibana Gentry was very dissatisfied with the punishment of his superiors, but he was choked by Murakami's words.

"Do you know how much damage your behavior has brought to the magazine this time?"

The early release of the anime increased the magazine's sales by more than 300,000 copies, at the cost of a complete remake of the anime of "SLAM DUNK".

Back and forth, the income of "Young Leap" was not as much as expected, and in addition, it also caused Shen Xin's dissatisfaction.

Overall, it's not too profitable, and even, after sorting it out, many people will have a feeling that they have lost money.

It's not money that's lost, it's something more important than money.

For example, if this matter is handled well from the beginning, other cartoonists may feel strange, but because they can't figure out the details, most of them will think that there is some private agreement between the magazine and Shen Xin.

As long as the magazine doesn't explain, other cartoonists won't force them to ask, and they can end up fooling the past.

Now it's different, there is a lot of uproar on the Internet, and it is obviously impossible to fool the past, so you can only prevaricate the past on the grounds that Shen Zheng is not the author of District 11 - in fact, this is indeed the fundamental reason why Shen Zheng can be different from other cartoonists.

If you consider it from this aspect, only half a month's salary is deducted, and he is not removed from the position of editor-in-chief, he is already very profitable.

But he understands that if he doesn't hold back any big moves in the future, he will end up here at most, and even, he may be pulled down at any time.

In this environment, anyone can be depressed.

Tachibana leaned back in his chair and looked around.

If he gets angry at others, the editors may be able to calm down, at least let out their anger, and the depression will be alleviated a lot. But Tachibana didn't say anything, just looked around when he was fine.

In the eyes of other editors, this kind of gaze is full of depression, and even, the editor-in-charge who usually uses a landline to contact the author, now in order to avoid Tachibana Gentry's gaze, has chosen to use his mobile phone to escape from the editorial office, in exchange for a moment of relaxation.

China Kotani was also planning to take time to go out to dry for half an hour, but as soon as he stood up, an email popped up and appeared on the desktop of the computer.

"THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT FOR EPISODE 184 OF SLAM DUNK?"

Kotani Chimei scratched his head, secretly saying that this manuscript was not coincidental, but he couldn't ignore it, and if there was a translation error, he would have to communicate.

Of course, he is most concerned about the outcome of the match between Xiangbei and Lingnan - although he is responsible for contacting Wang Wenhong or Yan Fei, when he learns about the development of the plot, it is often already a finished draft.

Download, compress, open the image.

On the first page of this episode, he was drawn to the title.

"Win or lose"! Does this have a result?

Chimei Kotani's gaze immediately moved to the manuscript, without any extra space, and read the manga in one go.

Turning to the last page, China Kotani felt his face ...... No, it's the heat all over the body, and the heart is pounding.

"That's ......"

It's ......

"Simply what?"

A voice suddenly came from behind China Kotani, which frightened Kotani into a clever one, and the teacup on the table was accidentally knocked over to the ground.

The eyes of the other editors immediately moved to Kotani's body, and Kotani squinted behind him, and Tachibana looked at him expressionlessly.

"Nervous about what?"

"I didn't ...... What the? Kotani Senna hurriedly shook his head.

"What are you looking at?"

"Huh?" Chimei Kotani wanted to find a reason randomly, but the characters on the screen were very clear, and he couldn't deny it if he wanted to, so he could only stubbornly say, "It's the manuscript sent by Mr. Shen for the latest words." ”

“《SLAM DUNK》？” Tachibana asked rhetorically.

"Hmm."

"Print one out to me, and the others will continue to work." Tachibana Sentry turned to leave.

After China Kotani complained "unlucky" in his heart, he had to print out the manuscript of this sentence.

Although the other editors in charge are looking at the screen, their minds are on the manuscript in the hands of Kotani Chimei, there is no other, but the recent plot of "SLAM DUNK" is too exciting. Winning the first place in the small book for 6 consecutive weeks also proves that this plot has been recognized by readers.

China Kotani put the printed manuscript on Tachibana's desktop, "This is the manuscript. ”

"Busy with you, right?"

Tachibana Shin waved his hand for China Kotani to leave, and his eyes were fixed on the manuscript in front of him, and for five minutes, he did not turn a page.

He just got into a fight with "SLAM DUNK" not long ago, and now he sees the latest words of "SLAM DUNK", and he has the heart to tear up the comics.

But helplessly, he is the editor-in-chief of "Shonen Leap", and the sales of the magazine are his main concerns, so even if he hates "SLAM DUNK", he must read it, otherwise, if he doesn't know the plot of "SLAM DUNK", he will not be able to answer if the senior management asks him.

Turning the first page hard, Tachibana Sentry read it.

When he turned to the last page, Tachibana frowned, took a sip of water, steadied himself, read the manuscript again, and then leaned back in his chair, silently, and thought about it for five or six minutes before putting it in a drawer, then picking up the lighter on the table and walking out of the office.

When he passed by Chimei Kotani's desk, he whispered, "Don't let anyone else see this manuscript." ”

China Kotani, who was anxious, suddenly heard someone talking in his ear, and was startled, almost shouting, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Tachibana Gentry, and he wanted to cry without tears.

When you speak, can't you squeak in advance?

Kotani Chimei's heart tossed and turned, but asked Xiang Tachibana Shen again: "Editor-in-chief, what did you just say?" ”

"I MEAN, DON'T LET ANYONE ELSE WATCH THIS SLAM DUNK YET." Tachibana Sentry repeated.

"Anyone?" China Kotani was a little confused.

"Anyone, wait for my news." Tachibana dropped this sentence, grabbed a lighter, and left the editorial office.

Walking all the way to the smoking room, as soon as the door was pushed open, a puff of smoke came to my face.

Tachibana coughed twice, fanning away the smell of smoke around his nostrils, trying to see who was in the smoking room.

"Murakami...... Leader? ”

Tachibana looked at the people sitting on the bench, and didn't understand for a while, Murakami's office was not on this floor, why was he sitting here?

"I went to the sales department and got the data." Murakami took the report, "SLAM DUNK bought another million copies a week. ”

"Hmm."

"Is Volume 20 ready?"

"Proofreading."

"That's good. The top brass is also looking forward to the comic. Murakami gave Tachibana a cigarette, "They probably followed closely." ”
