Hashida is not only Yamazaki's senior, but also his boss, and he does not question his boss's orders.

However, he still took the comic manuscript he had just printed out in his hand.

Walking into the editor's office, Hashida stretched out his hand: "Sit down." ”

Yamazaki did not speak, but sat in a chair.

"I just got a submission today, this manuscript is very interesting, but the situation of cartoonists is a little special, and the theme chosen is also relatively biased, you take a look at the content first, and we will talk about the rest next."

Hashida handed the manuscript in his hand to Yamazaki.

Yamazaki placed the copy he was carrying on his lap and took the manuscript from Hashida.

When he saw the first storyboard, he froze, and after a few seconds of trance, he looked up at Hashida.

Hashida wondered, "What's wrong?" If there's a problem, you just say it. ”

Yamazaki was a little flustered: "No, no, I'm just..."

"Yamazaki, you're also an old employee, do we still need to talk to each other like this?"

After hearing this, Yamazaki gritted his teeth, put the manuscript in his hand on the table, and handed out the manuscript on his lap with both hands: "Editor, in fact, I also have a manga I want to recommend, please take a look." ”

Hashida's didn't reach out to pick it up for the first time, but showed a funny expression: "Really, it's not that I can't read the manga if you recommend it, but we always have to do one thing first, right?" ”

"Once you've seen it, you'll know why I'm recommending this manga." Yamazaki remained in his position.

Hashida's fingertips tapped on the table, and he wondered why the stubborn subordinate uncharacteristically wanted to show himself the manuscript.

The relationship between the top and bottom in Japan is quite strict, and a person like Yamazaki who abides by the rules should not do such a thing.

There must be something wrong with this.

Rather than saying a word, Hashida took the manuscript handed by Yamazaki and set his eyes on the first page.

"This..."

Hashida almost shouted.

He immediately set his gaze on Yamazaki's face.

If Yamazaki hadn't kept that dead face, Hashida would have thought he was playing a prank!

But it's never a matter of a day or two for the two to work together, how can someone like Yamazaki make a prank?

Hashida was not at ease and had to pick up the manuscript in front of Yamazaki and compare the two manuscripts.

After a while, he finally asked with an ugly face, "Can't you tell me directly?" ”

"Sorry, I don't know what to say."

Hashida's mouth was open for a long time and he couldn't speak, and finally he could only change the topic: "Okay, since you've read the draft, let's talk about your feelings." ”

"The storyboard and painting skills of the comics can't find flaws.,The main plot style is very suitable for our club.,The main line of the story may be a four-cornered love affair mixed with the four main characters at present.,But it's also possible that it's not.,The author didn't send other introductory texts.,I can't analyze it for the time being.,With classical music as the background.,But use the relationship between the characters to compile suspense.,The author's skills are good."

Yamazaki's analysis is quite professional, and with the current intelligence, Hashida himself can only analyze so much.

"Indeed, the storyboard and drawing are almost impeccable, and the plot suspense and tension are also excellent, but..."

Yamazaki asked, "But what?" ”

"It's just that this was drawn by a foreign cartoonist, so I didn't ask which country it was..."Hashida gave a look of embarrassment.

"Foreign?" Yamazaki was shocked, "Are you saying that this manga was not drawn by Japanese?" ”

Hashida nodded helplessly.

"Do you know this teacher? I think we should have a face-to-face conversation with him. ”

......

Yamazaki sat in front of the computer and was a little stunned, because what the agent said in front of him really made him speechless.

Turn the time back to half an hour ago.

Reiko Arima from the copyright department acted as the translator, and editor Yamazaki had a conversation with the manga artist agent from CN via the Internet.

"Hello, are you the agent of the author of "Four Lies"?"

Across the camera is a very young-looking woman, but her arrogant demeanor and confidence seeping through the screen make Yamazaki can't help but be a little afraid.

In fact, manga editors are basically no different from otaku, except for the fact that they can say a few more words when talking about content, they are generally not good at communicating, like this woman on the screen, he has only seen similar people at the banquets held by Kodansha, and those people are all top people in the industry.

Can...

This girl is too young, right?

"Well, it's me."

After listening to Reiko's translation, Yamazaki nodded and continued to ask, "Excuse me, why doesn't the teacher take care of this matter himself, there should be no barrier to his language." ”

"Oh, she's a little shy and doesn't like to see people, so I'll take care of that."

After listening to the translation, Yamazaki felt his face twitch.

"For the serialization of the manga, you need a pen name, or you can use the teacher's original name, but I don't see that this is written in the email."

After hearing this, the other party showed a confused look, and finally said something that Reiko was embarrassed to translate.

"Whatever."

Reiko almost choked to death without taking a breath.

Is there a manga artist with a pen name casually? Are you an agent or not? Did you do it on purpose?

Reiko quickly explained to the other party, and it was only then that person understood the importance of pen names to creators.

"Oh, that's called Kletze."

Reiko's eyes lit up, and then she turned to translate to Yamazaki.

Yamazaki is no stranger to this name, and he has read the original manuscript of these three words several times in the past few days, but he has a question that he must ask.

"May I ask, do the music works used in the comics have corresponding commercial use authorization letters? At first glance, it looks like an overhead track, but in fact it's just a different name. ”

As a result, the other party said such a sentence, which made Yamazaki confused.

"Power of attorney? It's simple, and I wrote all the tunes in it, so you can have as much as you want. ”

it! Use your tunes throughout the comics?

No wonder the name has to be changed!

Otherwise, you're the only composer in the world, right?

Spit and spit and spit out.

He can't deny that once this comic becomes popular, it will not affect a simple comic industry.

Even Japan's classical industry will be affected.

He himself is an employee of the publishing house, and Kodansha's business scope of course also includes audio-visual products, as a peripheral of "Four Lies", selling each other's CDs, these things are not too cool!

Thinking of this, Yamazaki completely made up his mind in his heart.

No matter how strange the other person may seem, this manga must be signed!
