Maya Pavilion in the office

At this moment, a group of people are deciding which of the unsuccessful cartoons in Maya Weekly should be cut next, and they are also discussing which cartoons should be published.

They have voted down some of their works, and a small number of them have been serialized.

Of course, as a company, they need to evaluate a work, and if the results are not good, they will be promoted, and those who are favored will be promoted.

Nature's predator is highlighted in this place.

"Okay, Kobayashi-kun, the works you plan to recommend next, hurry up and hand them in......" The editor-in-chief looked at an old editor on the side.

So Kobayashi-kun immediately put the name of the author he was optimistic about through the mailbox to the computer of each editor.

"This is Mr. Anda's new work "The Weakest Demon King in History", which tells the story of high school student Fujiwara Tomoki who was summoned to another world by the Demon King's men to become the one hundred and eighth generation of Demon King, but he didn't have the strength to escape, and then met and met the members of the Brave Squad on various occasions, and the plot was carried out from this.。

Junko Machida knows a little about Adachi.,The brain hole is bigger.,But the drawing is rough.,The picture often doesn't achieve the desired result.,The same is true for the name of this manga.。

But after all, she is just a newcomer, and she can't say anything, so she can only wait for other people's vetoes.

Sure enough, the next moment an editor spoke: "There are some small breakthroughs in creativity, and the overall plot grasp is also very good, but it's still similar to other otherworldly comics, and the most important thing is ...... The painting style of the Anda teacher you are responsible for is not good.,It's almost the same plot.,Why should we choose an author whose painting style is not good? ”

“…… This ......" The old editor in charge of Anda opened his mouth when he heard it, and finally sighed: "I'll talk to Mr. Anda then." ”

In fact, he knew at the beginning that most of this comic could not be serialized, but Mr. Anda was also the old author he was responsible for, and he used to be able to mix with this kind of comic with a royal theme, but with more and more cartoonists, this opportunity is much less.

This comic was forced by the other party to ask him, so he recommended it.

"Okay, so next, Machida, what manga do you want to recommend?" The editor-in-chief looked at Junko Machida again.

It's just a newcomer.,But after all, I'm also an editor.,So I'm able to recommend works.。

"Hey!" When Junko Machida heard this, she hurriedly sent the "Garden of Words" to the mailboxes of everyone present.

After a moment, the editor-in-chief's brows furrowed and loosened, looked at everyone and said, "Have any comments?" ”

An old editor looked at Junko Machida: "The plot of the story is a bit bland, and it feels like it's impossible to sell well, and the otherworldly manga is more attractive than this." ”

"However, there are too many otherworldly comics on the market!" Junko Machida contended: "The style of painting in this work is great, and it also has its own characteristics, which is much stronger than those otherworldly works that look like factories on the assembly line!" It's a little more soulful, maybe it can't be a big hit, but it can attract a group of loyal fans! ”

"Indeed!" A female editor also agreed: "Just look at the name, no matter the setting of the story, or the storyboard, the composition, there is a very high level not like a newcomer at all, from the current existing plot plus the outline sent by the author, it feels like it will be a good story, maybe readers want to change their tastes recently, after all, the homogenization of the theme on the market is already very serious, and readers will inevitably have aesthetic fatigue." ”

"What's popular in the market now is the royal road comic! Why should we swim against the tide of the market? ”

"But our Maya Pavilion ......"

The editorial department began to quarrel over the comic "The Garden of Words".

Each has its own reasons, and they all sound quite plausible.

"Knock knock!" The editor-in-chief knocked the table, making the whole room quiet, and then he looked at the deputy editor-in-chief on the side: "Yamanaka-kun, what do you think?" ”

"I thought I could give it a try." Yamanaka-kun posed Commander Ikati's classic pose, his eyes shining in the light, and then glanced around: "Now the comic market is all occupied by comics with royal themes, and the consequences of the homogenization of this theme are very serious!" In recent years, the other two have also launched some new themes, although most of these attempts at new themes have failed, but our Maya Pavilion as a market giant can't be left behind, right? ”

After hearing the words of the deputy editor-in-chief, many of the editors present also nodded in understanding.

Indeed, they have also seen the consequences of the homogenization of market themes in recent years.

It's okay for them to be the leading comic book publishers, and famous and high-level comic artists come to them.

But those small publishing houses are terrible, there are no good cartoonists to go, and all the cartoonists who have been screened by their big publishing houses are gone.

The level of itself is much worse than that of these large publishing houses, and the distribution capacity of small publishing houses is limited, so the market is basically occupied by three companies, including Mayakan.

Although it's cool that there are only three families in the market to divide equally, but in this way, the comics will become more and more homogeneous, and those readers in the later stage will find it boring, and the sales will definitely be greatly reduced.

There has been such a trend over the years, and the continuous fluctuation of manga sales can be seen in the shaky comic industry.

"Well......" The editor-in-chief nodded after hearing Yamanaka-kun's answer, fell into thought and then looked at everyone: "Let's explore the path with this comic, because I also want to enrich the genre categories of the comic market, as Yamanaka-kun said, the consequences of the homogenization of the subject matter are borne by the entire publishing industry!" ”

"It just so happens that the painting style, storyboard, and composition of this comic are of a very high level, and judging from the current outline, it is only a short comic, so we can still bet once!"

"If it succeeds, we can also take the opportunity to develop a comic with a similar theme! Don't ask for a big fire, just an average level! ”

"Let's vote next, who's in favor? Who is against? ”

Although he is the editor-in-chief, the editorial department still needs to vote on the serialized comics.

"Against."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

“……”

“……”

As the editors voted their options one by one, the final fate of the manga "The Garden of Words" was also chosen.

"In that case, it's decided! "The Garden of Words" serialization decision! ”
