When Yokoi first recommended Chess Soul to Murakami, he thought it was just an ordinary Go manga.

Although it is rare to see comics with the theme of "Go", there are still some in Zone 11, such as those that glow with light, or like food manga, where "mysterious powers" gather in the chessboard and can even change the fate of others.

When he first watched the first episode, Murakami felt that the story of "Chess Soul" was exactly the same as what he thought - wasn't it just to bully others with the help of Zuowei's power?

But as the story progressed, especially when he saw Xiaoguang start to play chess with his own strength, but lost the game, and finally left unwilling tears, his heart was instantly tightly grasped by Xiaoguang's unyielding eyes.

This manga is completely different from what he guessed.

Although "Chess Soul" is not like "Slam Dunk", seeing exciting places and even making readers shout, but after reading it, Murakami's evaluation is much higher than that of "Slam Dunk".

This manga looks like a manga related to Go, but the whole manga is full of ideals, perseverance, and competition, in other words, it is a manga with a spirit.

After chasing three single books, Murakami read the content of the unpublished single book from the Internet, and still felt unfinished, and then came to Huaxia, and saw the 34th episode of "A Game of Reminiscence", and looked forward to the showdown between them more and more.

The cover page is another spread, with Hikaru Shinto, Tsutsui, and Mitani standing on one side, and Sawei, Ryo Taya, and Yoshitaka Watani on the other, holding Go in their hands, looking at each other.

"Pretty."

When Murakami saw this page, he muttered to himself, and the impact of the page crossing made him unable to bear to take his eyes off.

This episode is divided into two lines, one is the duel between Zuo Wei and Xiaoliang, and the other is the half-month Go exam - only the top four students in the dojo will have the opportunity to participate in the Go exam held in July.

The day of the duel between Xiao Liang and Zuo Wei was the first day of the Go exam.

In order to face off with Zuo Wei, Xiao Liang gave up the first day of the exam.

The Go exam is very crucial for most players, but for Xiaoliang, the significance of its existence is far less important than that of He Zuowei in the next game.

People's visions are different, and their pursuits are also different.

After reading this, Murakami closed his eyes, and his heart could not be calm for a long time.

He couldn't understand why the seemingly ordinary game of Go made his blood boil.

The blood of "Slam Dunk" comes from the outside, while the blood of "Chess Soul" comes from the heart.

"Mr. Murakami, how is this manga?" Bao Jiyi asked Murakami with a smile.

Yokoi translated Murakami's words into Mandarin, "Very good, this is a rare manga, and if this quality can be guaranteed, this manga will surpass all the manga of ComicFuture." ”

Bao Jiyi touched his big back, and the smile on his face became stronger, "That's right, this work is the future sign of ComicFuture, and I also have great confidence in this comic." If you don't introduce a work like this now, it will definitely be published by other magazines in the future. ”

Yokoi translated Bao Jiyi's words to Murakami, who bowed slightly, and his eyes fell on the cover.

At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Toru Murakami.

Wang Wenhong clenched his fists even more, and his palms were full of sweat.

Toru Murakami's choice will determine whether "Chess Soul" can go to Asia.

Soon after, Shen Xin ...... No, Shen Zheng will even have his own fans in District 11 like Wang Yunze.

One day in the future, Shen Xin will even surpass all cartoonists in Huaxia...... He's only 20 years old, and he's still young......

Wang Wenhong gritted his teeth and looked at Murakami with both eyes, he was very eager to say the word "introduction" from Murakami's mouth.

However, Murakami's brows tightened, and he kept flipping through the copies in his hand, but he never said the word "introduction".

Bao Jiyi's smile gradually froze, but there was still a fake smile on his face, and after almost a quarter of an hour, he couldn't wait, and was about to ask Yokoi, but he saw Murakami suddenly stand up, walk to the window, and dial a phone.

"Please wait, the editor-in-chief of Murakami will ask about the magazine." Yokoi laughed dryly.

"It doesn't matter, such an excellent work needs to be taken seriously." Bao Jiyi's answer was an understatement, but he was a little impatient in his heart.

It's just a comic to introduce it, do you need such an inkblot?

After about four or five minutes, Murakami returned to his seat again and said something to Yokoi, who nodded very seriously, and then turned his head to look at Bao Jiyi.

"The editor-in-chief said that we don't want to introduce 'Chess Soul'." Yokoi said in non-standard Mandarin.

When Wang Wenhong heard this, his heart ached, as if his most beloved thing had been shattered.

All the previous speculations have come to naught.

Shang Haozhi was even more surprised, Yokoi's reply exceeded his expectations. The quality of "Chess Soul" is absolutely excellent, and the other party is also very satisfied just now, it should not be this kind of reply.

"Ahem, it turned out that it wasn't introduced. That's a shame, but we have other comics, why don't we read anything else? Bao Jiyi's smile was a little stiff, after all, the duck in his mouth flew, and his heart was inevitably a little ...... No, it's very frustrating.

"I don't read other comics...... I'm not done with what I just said. Wait a minute, I want to think about what to say. "Yokoi is not a professional translator, and some words are translated into Huaxia, so it takes some time to think," that ...... Our editor-in-chief doesn't mean to introduce "Chess Soul" ......"

Shang Haozhi and the others nodded, this sentence Yokoi had already said just now.

"What we hope is to serialize "Chess Soul" with your company synchronously, just now, the editor-in-chief has communicated with the editorial department, asking them to decide to cut the comics in half and make room for "Chess Soul". Yokoi said.

Shang Haozhi, Wang Wenhong, and Bao Jiyi's eyes were full of anger when they looked at Yokoi-can't you finish your words in one breath?

Considering that Yokoi has to translate Japanese into Chinese, it is indeed a bit troublesome, and he is not a professional translator, so the three of them can understand Yokoi's difficulties.

However, the words given by Yokoi far exceeded Bao Jiyi's expectations.

Synchronous serialization with "ComicFuture" is not just a simple matter of introduction, which means that "Leap" and "ComicFuture" have to bear the risk of serialization of "Chess Soul".

Although "MangaFly" simultaneously serializes many comics in Zone 11, there are very few comics in Zone 11 that are simultaneously serialized, even if it is the Legend of the Dragon King, it only started synchronous serialization last year.

Bao Jiyi was stunned for a moment, but his brain turned quickly, and after less than 10 seconds, he showed a sincere smile, "I knew that Mr. Murakami had vision, but ...... I think it's a great thing, and we should celebrate it with a drink, so please wait. ”

Bao Jiyi hurriedly left the office and quickly took out five wine glasses and a bottle of liquor.

Wang Wenhong took the liquor and poured it for everyone, and the five of them raised their glasses and drank it all.

"By the way, Mr. Murakami, I have one thing I want to ask for your opinion." Bao Jiyi chuckled and looked at Toru Murakami.

After Yokoi and Murakami had communicated, he said softly, "Mr. Bao, please speak." ”

"It's not a big deal...... Ahem, I don't know if your company is interested in the animated version of "Chess Soul"? Bao Jiyi narrowed his eyes and said softly.
