Chapter 743: Opportunity
Haruka Tamagawa laughed dryly.
In his opinion, Shen Xin's choice is nothing bad.
The sales of a single book reached a terrible 650,000 copies, plus the subscription of the webtoon, Shen Xin's income on this comic is no lower than that of serialization in "Shonen Leap". It's just that if it is serialized on "Shonen Leap", it may be more famous and topical.
In District 11, the most competitive platform is "Shonen Leap", and without the brutal competition of "Shonen Leap", some authors have expressed doubts about the true results of "DN".
After all, there is no small book of "Shonen Leap" as a reference.
However, the launch platform of "DN" is "Comic Future", and in the 11th district, as long as more readers read the comic, the purpose has been achieved.
Now "DN" should make "Shonen Leap" very uncomfortable, because the sales of "DN" are very high, and there is also a certain amount of public opinion on the Internet, and the popularity is not low.
In this way, it is bound to attract the attention of some readers to the manga magazine.
"At the time, I was still wondering, why was there no serialization of a manga like DN, Shonen Leap?" Tamagawa Haruka said curiously.
Ishizawa coughed lightly.
Don't say you're weird, I'm still weird?
Ishizawa muttered in his heart, but he didn't have the final say in this matter, and the person who really had the right to decide was Toru Murakami.
Murakami's idea is also very direct, Shen Xin serialized two comics in a row, and the quality of the latter comic is difficult to guarantee, especially if the quality of "Steel" is so good, the probability of "DN" being a big hit is even lower.
In this case, it is understandable that Murakami chose to wait and see, but unexpectedly, the manga journal made a move in advance and grabbed "DN".
Everyone knows what happened next. "DN" was a big hit, and Toru Murakami was also caught off guard.
"Ahem, in fact, the editor-in-chief's choice is not wrong, evil comics are usually weak in the later stage...... "DN" is only serialized to more than 20 episodes now, and some readers have already raised the plot instability."
This is still the editorial department, and of course Ishizawa can't say that there is a problem with Muraka, so he can only use the recent performance of "DN" to refute Haruka Tamagawa.
"No, Mr. Ishizawa, I can understand if other people say that, but if it's you, as the editor of Shonen Leap, you really shouldn't have said that. How do I feel that DN's decision is unspeakably stable? And, with the appearance of the second Grim Reaper, the pace of DN will speed up a lot. You can't see it, can you? ”
"Ahem, Mr. Tamagawa, let's still look at the name, right?"
Ishizawa immediately shifted the subject in other directions.
He knew that Haruka Tamagawa's words were right. If the second Grim Reaper does not come out, the story of "DN" will seem routine and the plot will be stiff, and at that time, "DN" will be really dangerous.
However, due to the appearance of the second Grim Reaper, breaking the convention, especially the second Kira revealed the "eyes" and "Grim Reaper", which gave L a lot of useful information, and the girl's letter to Kira also mentions the exchange of diaries.
Although this letter does not show any clues for the time being, with L's intelligence, it is only a matter of time before something strange is discovered.
At this point, the speed of the plot has been significantly accelerated.
Moreover, because the second Kira is a girl and a fan of the first Kira, the sense of resistance of "other characters also have golden fingers" is reduced by half in the hearts of readers.
Therefore, although the results of "DN" fluctuate, on the whole, the appearance of the second Grim Reaper can be called the finishing touch.
But these words still can't be said directly, especially since this is still the editorial office, and it will not be good if it is heard by others.
After Ishizawa diverted the topic, he pulled out Haruka Tamagawa's name and glanced at the cover, "Baseball? ”
"yes, if you think about it, it's still the easiest way to draw sports comics, and besides, baseball, youth, Koshien...... Together, these elements should also make a good manga. ”
"Koshien?" Ishizawa's eyes lit up.
Koshien Stadium is the most desirable stadium for high school baseball teams, and many manga are set in it, and this manga is also in line with the setting of friendship, sweat, and hard work, which is in line with the values of "Shonen Leap".
Ishizawa quickly looked at Name, then crossed his arms around his chest, and after a long silence, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, put it in his mouth, and did not light it, but carefully looked at the time again.
"Teacher, can you get the name back first?" Ishizawa pondered for a long time and said, "Go back and think about the plot again." ”
"Isn't name good?" Haruka Tamagawa hurriedly asked.
He thinks this name is not bad, and when the story starts and he gets the top five, it shouldn't be a big problem.
"No, of course you can. Tamagawa-sensei's fame is still there.,Moreover,The name quality of this manga is also very high.。 With serialized meetings, it's not a big problem. ”
"Then why don't you accept it?" Tamagawa looked confused.
Ishizawa sighed and looked around, but no one noticed them, and then he whispered, "Yamagishi-sensei's "Wasteland Hunter" will end this year. ”
Haruka Tamagawa's eyes brightened when he heard this.
"Wasteland Hunter" is one of the two best comics of "Shonen Leap", with nearly 15 years of serialization, and has long been in the top two of "Shonen Leap" books, that is, when "Steel" ended last year, it fell to third place.
With such a comic at the end of the series, "Shonen Leap" is bound to win a manga and fill the void of "Wasteland Hunter".
Ishizawa's attitude is already very clear, Haruka Tamagawa's new work, there is no big problem with passing the serial meeting, but if you want to sit on the vacated seat of "Wasteland Hunter", I'm afraid that it won't work, and you still need to continue to polish.
More crucially, Haruka Tamagawa does have the potential to impact signature manga artists.
"In that case...... I'll leave it to you. Tamagawa Haruka's expression was solemn.
"Well, on Saturday and Sunday, we're having a good discussion about where the story goes. So...... "Ishizawa took a deep breath, "DN was not serialized on Shonen Leap, which is a loss for Shonen Leap, but it is not necessarily a bad thing for other manga artists. Mr. Tamagawa, come on. ”
Tamagawa Haruka nodded heavily, and suddenly there was a kind of anticipation in his heart.
……
This year's annual meeting of "Comic Future" was held in a manor, which was beyond the surprise of many people.
After Bao Jiyi announced his plans for the new year, the whole annual meeting was in a carnival.
The manga artists, who are the main characters, also start to move freely after the lectures.
After communicating with the heads of several companies, Ye Hexu hid and feasted.
Luo Zheng's mood is not too good, "The King of Rock and Roll" is coming to an end, and it is estimated that he will have to rest for a while.
Shi Yan is still the same, he basically doesn't show up much, and half of the time, squatting in the bathroom.
As for Zuo Yuan, he was also in a suit and leather shoes, looking very energetic, constantly greeting the authors who came and going, and immediately ran over after seeing Shen Xin.
"Are you okay now?"
"It's fine. The sales of single books are relatively stable, and each volume can sell more than 100,000 copies. There is also news about the anime, which will be screened in the second half of this year. It is hoped that the sales of single books will be driven. Zuo Yuan squinted his eyes, compared to when he almost jumped off the building, he seemed to be a different person.
In fact, even if the sales of Zuo Yuan's manga are not good, the magazine will try to keep it, because it represents a genre that will attract some younger readers.
