Chapter 143: The Controversy of the Serial Meeting
"The location of the story - RB Tokyo, the manga tells the story of the male protagonist who has zero love deviation value and is forced to put down his high self-esteem in 'adult high school' to practice communicating with others and learn the ability to fall in love.
The setting of 'love deviation value' is a measure of the emotional intelligence of adults when they are in love.
The background of the story is that because of the low marriage and the birth rate of the population has reached a new low, Japan's second compulsory education law was passed, and the government established a public educational institution 'adult high school'. Men and women who have reached the age of 30 and still have no sexual experience must be enrolled in school and forcibly reformed until they get married and have children, before they can be treated as human beings. If you don't get married, don't have children, and don't fall in love, you will be regarded as potential criminals by the state, and civil servants have relevant establishments, and even special military organizations, which are specially used to investigate the intelligence of unmarried and unmarried men and women, arrest these people, and gather them for education and reform.
Of course, at the beginning, it was only a notice, and until it did not cooperate, the violent organs would be dispatched. If you do not cooperate with the reform and refuse to enroll in school, you will be wanted and become a criminal.
The 31-year-old actor got an admission letter to an adult high school, and because he was an elite of a large company, he felt that he could resist this kind of notice by virtue of his social status.
However, what awaits the protagonist is that the company fires him, and even when he is about to fly abroad, he is also sent by the state to be captured and reformed.
Because of his resistance, he was regarded as a dangerous person. So, I was selected into an adult high school full of thorns. This school has a large number of people who do not cooperate with the laws of the country, get married, have children, and even try to flee. There are celebrities, writers, cartoonists, and billionaires. However, in the face of the current tyranny of forced marriage, they were all arrested.
In order to transform them, there are even responsive organs, injecting them with emotional intelligence medicine, love medicine, and forcing them to change their mentality.
Later, a pharmaceutical researcher secretly developed the superpower of 'love deviation value' as energy, and hoped to contact the protagonist and others, hoping that they would use their superpowers to rebel against the government.
Although the protagonist is arrested, he does not give in and meets like-minded singers, manga artists, and billionaires who are like-minded with him.
In the process of confronting the violent organs, these comrades-in-arms eventually developed feelings...... Originally, I wanted to apply for marriage. However, the reformed ones do not have the freedom to marry, and they are the corresponding organs, which are randomly matched with future marriage partners.
For this reason, these people began a long battle for the right to love freely.
In the process, it is possible to depict comrades who have been arrested, forcibly married and reformed.
But the heroine who is a pair with the male protagonist, in the process of danger, was rescued.
The final ending, it can be described that the male protagonist has been fighting all the time, and it turns out that his father is a member of parliament who promotes the second compulsory education bill. And the reason why the bill appeared was because the actor did not get married, combined with the low birthrate of the social background, which led to his father's planning. Later, the actor led some people to occupy the parliament, and after forcing the palace, the tyranny was ended on the condition that the actor would get married and have children within three years......"
Li Yuntao talked about the ending in one breath, and he said for more than 20 minutes, and Aiko Iwase's pen never stopped shutting on the paper.
"Well, that's how the story was conceived. After Li Yuntao finished talking about the idea, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The title of the book is "The New World Where Marriage and Love Can't Be Free". ”
"What a cool idea. Aiko Iwase's beautiful eyes brightened, "I have a hunch that it will definitely be red." ”
Li Yuntao can say that this idea is already very cowardly, and if you are bolder, you can make "A Boring World Without Yellow Jokes", and SOX is the ultimate version.
"Teacher, it's amazing!" the other assistants were also shocked.
"Average, average!" Li Yuntao said embarrassedly, this idea may not be popular, compared with the ideas of "Attack on Titan" and "Your Surname", there is really a world of difference.
If such a not-so-powerful idea can be created into a first-class work, it will definitely not be due to this electronic work.
......
At this time, Tokyo's Yueisha was open. The JUMC serialization meeting was originally scheduled to end in the afternoon, but because of this serialization meeting, there were more good works, and the controversy was relatively large, and it was precisely because of this that it was postponed to the evening.
In fact, the biggest controversy in this serial meeting is "Attack on Titan" by Yacheng Mumeye.
......
In the office outside the serialization conference room, Yujiro Hattori and Koji Yoshida were talking in a low voice.
"I didn't expect the Yacheng Mumengye Giant to create such a great work. Koji Yoshida exclaimed.
"I underestimated Yacheng Mu Mengye a little bit before. Yujiro Hattori said that both he and Koji Yoshida had read the original manuscript of "Attack on Titan".
"But I think it's hard to use this work to beat my new wife's "CRO" and Cangshu Yuntao's "My AI Girlfriend Xiao Mourning". Koji Yoshida said.
"The results will come out later, and if Yajo Mumeha can't be published through the serialization meeting this time, then their manga career at JUMC will end early. Yujiro Hattori said, "I hope this work can be successfully serialized!"
"Ah, Tetsu-senpai Hattori is here, let's not discuss it. Koji Yoshida saw Tetsu Hattori coming back from outside and immediately reminded his partner.
"Yes, Hattori's seniors have too high expectations for Aki Yumeha, so the pressure is also great. Yujiro Hattori nodded.
Meanwhile, Mashiro Takami and Takagi Akito are in their studios, restlessly waiting for the results of the serial meeting.
"Higher, will our work really pass the serialization meeting this time?" Takagi Akito said with a drum in his heart.
"Surely, we stayed at home for almost a month, and no one can imagine how we spent this month for this work. Majo said loudly.
"So can we beat CRO and My AI Girlfriend Mourn?" Takagi said unconfidently.
"This "Attack on Titan" was inspired by Mr. Li Yuntao, Mr. Li Yuntao is so good, it must be a masterpiece. "The highest road in the real city.
"But "My AI Girlfriend Xiao Mourning" is Mr. Li Yuntao's own work, using his ideas to defeat his own comics, which is like saying that his son wants to beat his father at the boxing level in a boxing match. "My AI Girlfriend Little Sorrow" is now comparable to "COR"!" Akito Takagi said with a wry smile.
"Autumn criminal, to be honest, I'm a little worried, but don't forget that our Attack on Titan was created after My AI Girlfriend Xiao Wai, and although it comes from the same brain, there are many examples where the ideas that come up later can outperform the previous ones. Also, don't forget, we insisted on comics as a dream in the first place. "The highest in the real city looked up.
"Yes, we will succeed!" replied Takagi with a clenched fist.
......
In the JUMC serialization conference room, "Attack on Titan" was being discussed.
"Attack on Titan is the best of the submissions. Sakaichi Aida said with relief.
"Yacheng Mumengye has finally found the direction they should be heading. Bottle Yoshihisa agreed.
"It's really amazing, and I'm completely hooked on the story as well. The head of another editorial team also appreciated.
"This work can be published without any problems. A fat editor said.
"No, you can't. The editor-in-chief, Nao Sasaki, spoke suddenly.
"Ahh
"Although I also have a high opinion of this "Attack on Titan", whether or not this work can be passed, we should first judge whether it can beat the "CRO" and "My AI Girlfriend Xiao Wai" by the new wife Eiji. Moreover, "Attack on Titan" is too violent and bloody. Sasaki Shoto cheeked, "Before, there were these controversies in the works of Ajogi Yumeha, and we have to consider the influence of social opinion. ”
"Editor-in-chief, are you serious? A bespectacled editorial team leader asked, referring to the bet that Ajoki Yumeha made with the editor-in-chief.
"Of course. "Naodo Sasaki.
"If you judge it seriously, it's so difficult to win these two super popular best-selling works. ”
Satoshi Aida was speechless for a while, although Ajo Mumeye was in his editorial group, he didn't have the confidence to help.
"Now let's talk about whether Attack on Titan can beat CRO and My AI Girlfriend Mourning. ”
"These three works are completely different styles, and this comparison is a headache for that person. ”
“......”
The discussion was unusually long, more than two hours, and the editors had a heated discussion.
"Okay, stop me, it's a waste of time to continue to talk about it like this. Whether it can be serialized or not, we vote with a vote. Sasaki stopped everyone and said solemnly, "It's not a serialized work in the ordinary sense, it must surpass "COR" to be eligible for serialization!
"Do you really want to vote on a vote, editor. "Satoichi Aida's emotions are a little intense, "Attack on Titan" must be a good work, if it was just a manuscript by another author, it would have passed the new serialization a long time ago.
But...... Now the threshold for new serialization has been raised, and it can be serialized only if it can outperform the best works.
This is an unprecedentedly high threshold in the history of JUMC!
"First of all, start with you, go to the polls. Sasaki said unquestioningly.
"By all accounts, I think it's hard to win. "Great Western Road.
"Lose, one vote. The editorial team leader in charge of the notes said.
"Next, Yoshida. The head of the editorial team in charge of the notes also asked.
"I win. ”
"Daliang. ”
"I lost. ”
"Aida, you're going to win. ”
"Yes. ”
"It's a draw for the time being, it's all 2 votes. ”
"Deputy Editor-General. ”
"I don't think it's going to be a win. ”
"Okay, it's up to me, I choose to win. ”
"Finally, the editor-in-chief. ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent, and everyone looked at Nao Sasaki.
"Me?" said Sasaki coldly.
"Definitely going to win. Satoshi Aida said secretly.
"Attack on Titan is really good. Sasaki paused.
This pause made everyone feel that time had frozen, and it was incomparably long.
"But, compared to COR, I don't think it can win. "Naodo Sasaki.
For a moment, everyone in the editorial department was shocked.
The decision was given to the editor.,The editor's final vote was actually that it would lose.,Could it be that Yashiroki Yumeha will really terminate the contract with JUMC.,After that,With such a level of excellent work,Defect to other manga magazines?
Just from the perspective of retaining cartoonists and works, the threshold should not be raised to that extent.
Interesting works can be serialized, this is the rule of JUMC!
However, that doesn't mean that you have to be more interesting than the most popular work to be eligible for serialization, right?
