The debate over whether Kyosuke Hojo was the owner of the humanoid printing press or the "manga master system" was put on hold for the time being, as there were more important things to do now.

Tetsuya Shimomura looked at the manga in his hand, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't make a judgment for a long time.

Does the cartoon have connotation, can it convey feelings to people, and does it reveal certain truths...... All of these issues can only be considered after a work can actually survive. And the only criterion that determines whether a work is good or not and whether it can survive in the cruel market is whether it is interesting or not.

"Detective Conan", should I say that it is worthy of Hojo Sensei, the beginning is very good, and the title is unreservedly "Heisei Holmes", and the protagonist's talent as a detective is vividly displayed in just a few pages. After that, it planted a foreshadowing that was far-reaching at first glance, giving motivation to the protagonist's subsequent behavior.

The heroine's character design is also very good, she looks gentle and lovely, but she is a karate expert who can break the telephone bar with one punch.

Doctor Frankenstein, the father of the detective family, the incompetent cop, all of which are factors that make a good comic.

If this is a newcomer's work, then Tetsu Shimomura will not hesitate to recommend the other party to participate in the magazine's newcomer award, and directly assure the other party that he will definitely win the award.

But here's the problem, the person who came up with this manga is not an unknown novice, but Kyosuke Hojo, who has already made a name for himself in the manga industry and the reasoning world.

Although the first few cases are interesting from my own point of view, there is no doubt that true mystery fans will have doubts when they see such works, "Is this really the work drawn by that Hojo-sensei?" It's not like you've sold your pen name, is it?"

As a celebrity, enjoying the benefits of fame inevitably has a lot of shackles

Thinking like this, Tetsuya Shimomura also talked about these worries one by one, and during this time, he also took out the hot detective manga "Immortal Shuichi" from "Shonen Magic" next door as an example.

"Even this kind of honest manga that engages in ontological reasoning,As long as the case is a little simple,,Will be immediately sent a letter to scold.,The author Okawa Mr. has wanted to stop publishing more than once.,But because the results are very good, it's still serialized under the persuasion of the editor.。 I saw the reader's desire for mystery manga at the beginning, and I thought that this was not your area of expertise, so I asked you if I could draw a mystery manga. ”

Shimomura said slowly, this is also a major function of editors, and they are extremely sensitive to the direction of the market. He wasn't alone, though, as he pulled a wad of papers from the pile of papers on the table and pushed it across the table.

Kyosuke Hojo took it and took a look, and found that they were all mystery comics, but all of them had been cut in half, and it was an attempt made by "Weekly Shonen High" during this time.

It turned out that there were already so many cannon fodder, no wonder Shimomura would be so cautious, he had an understanding in his heart.

"This comic of yours is good at everything, but it doesn't look like a mystery comic." Tetsuya Shimomura said.

You still need to say, I don't know? Do you think I think I'm a mystery comic?

Kyosuke Hojo complained in his heart, and then a smile appeared on his face.

After learning about Shimomura's editor's worries, he was not worried at all

Mystery comics are a dead end? Fortunately, "Detective Conan" is not a mystery comic at all. As someone who has witnessed the longevity of this manga for more than 20 years, Kyosuke Hojo knows exactly who is reading this manga.

In addition to the initial readers' inability to give up their feelings, love brains, primary school students, two-thorn apes, CP parties, waiting to fill the pit...... Anyway, few people are really looking forward to what difficult cases he has.

Kyosuke Hojo knew a friend from a publishing house in his last life.,Responsible for the children's book series.,Mainly Ultraman and Detective Conan.,Specifically,It's to simplify these two IPs into books that children can understand.。 In the era of the decline of physical books, his friend's publishing house survived on such books, and life was quite nourishing.

In addition, there are a large number of audiences who loyally go to the theater version of Conan every year and tell them about Sherlock Holmes, and they will tell you that there is such a person in England, who is a very good detective. As for why they watch cartoons, it's of course because their husbands are in cartoons, not only have they become smaller but also protect you Kudo Shinichi, and what else is Shuichi Akai, Zero Valley, Kidd, all kinds of handsome guys, don't care if you have a problem with your brain, but there is always one you like.

After the love brain is over, there is also the CP party. Excuse me, do you prefer Xinlan love or Ke Ai love? Maori Kogoro and Concubine Eiri, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, Black Feather Kaito and Nakamori Aoko, Black Feather Kaito and Koizumi Hongko, and the second yuan CP Wataru Takagi & Miwako Sato, etc., no matter what CP you want to knock, even if you want Lan Ai Lian, it is not impossible to arrange.

One by one theatrical version, if you want to say how exciting the plot is, it must not be, but the love between Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan has firmly grasped people's hearts. The girl may not contribute to the box office of "The Devotion of Suspect X", but she will definitely pull her boyfriend to see the peerless love between Mao Lilan and Shinichi Kudo.

Counting and counting the past, there is no so-called mystery fan.

Oh, no, there are still some real mystery fans are busy researching what cases in Conan are suspected of plagiarism. But this faint voice will soon be buried in the vast sea of the people.

Thinking of this, Kyosuke Hojo, who was worried that this manga would be unadaptable, was relieved. Since the general mystery comics are all dead, then there must be no problem with this love sci-fi action reasoning comics.

"Shimomura, if you don't read this work as a mystery manga, do you think it will be successful?" He asked, smiling.

"Isn't it a mystery comic?"

Tetsuya Shimomura was stunned, but isn't this a mystery comic? What else can it be considered if it is not a mystery comic?

"Just read it as an ordinary plot comic, or simply as a love comic." Kyosuke Hojo said casually.

"Love comics?"

Tetsuya Shimomura's voice has become a lot louder, isn't this what he has been expecting Kyosuke Hojo to draw? Based on himself, he is directly invincible.

"Well, look at it from a different angle, maybe you'll find a new world."

Hearing this, Tetsuya Shimomura stopped talking, sorted out his thoughts and lowered his head to read again. After knowing each other for so long, he has enough knowledge of Hojo Kyosuke's wisdom to know that this is a person with an incredible IQ and emotional intelligence, and he can't think of the other party as an ordinary high school student or an autistic cartoonist who draws with his head covered.

The first time he received each other at home, he was deeply impressed by the maturity and stability of Kyosuke Hojo, and then participated in animation production, negotiated for an increase in the share, and withheld the animation copyright...... And so on, this young man is not sophisticated. Under that young face, it is completely the heart of a dirty social person who has been tempered in society for a long time.

Is it a love comic......

With that in mind, he focused his attention on the comics.

Well?

Something is wrong, something is very wrong......

Wait, is this really a manga like the one I read before?

Looking at it, Tetsuya Shimomura's eyes widened wider and wider, and he really saw the door to a new world just like Kyosuke Hojo said.

The setting of young taming is no problem, the theme of love is enduring in love, and the only problem is that there are too many people who draw and can write new ideas. But it doesn't matter, have you ever seen the childhood sweethearts of high school students and elementary school students?

Even if I get smaller, I want to stay by your side and protect you, and after I finally realize how important you are to me, I never have a chance to say that I like you because I am afraid that you will be hurt.

It's so close, but the thoughts can only be conveyed through an unanswered phone call. The girl's sensitive and delicate mind is always unspeakable in the face of the wood-like childhood sweetheart.,Now I can whisper it to elementary school students who don't know anything.。

Watching Maolilan's various confides in Conan, leaning on the bed and holding his knees and crying alone, not only did Conan want to shout loudly that I was Kudo Shinichi, but the reader was about to tear his shoes with his toes, and he rushed to the author's house and grabbed his collar and ordered him to immediately let elementary school students skip a grade to high school.

This feeling of seeing each other but not knowing each other is like scratching an itch through a boot, which just tickles the reader's itchy flesh.

Although the manga taken out by Kyosuke Hojo only has the first few words, the plot behind it also has a little text outline, and there are some fragmentary pictures, such as one of them:

The moonlight poured down from the window, and on the blue-gray bed, Mao Lilan, who was wearing pajamas, sat with her knees leaning against the wall, muttering "Shinichi, where are you", and the cold moonlight sprinkled on her made her seem so distressed.

And outside her door, there is a big-headed elementary school student with a pillow under her arm, and the little pervert originally planned to be coquettish and cute and say that she couldn't sleep and tricked Mao Lilan to sleep together, but when she walked outside the door, she heard the crying inside.

Separated by a door, the mood of the two, apart from them, only readers can understand.

Even Tetsuya Shimomura, an old man whose son is in high school, can feel that uncomfortable heart.

Hiss......

Could this really be a love comic?

If you think about it carefully, didn't the protagonist of Hojo-sensei's reasoning "The Devotion of Suspect X" also kill because of love? If it weren't for that suffocating love, this work wouldn't be so popular.

Hiss......

Is that also a love?

Wait, wait, if you think about it again, "Attack on Titan", Mikasa and Allen, Captain and Allen, Allen and ...... If you follow this line of thought, "One Punch Man" ...... Uh, this one is a bit of a bad knock......

Tetsuya Shimomura, who is open-minded, only feels that the world has become extremely bright.

Sure enough, love is the eternal theme of human beings!

Fall in love in wars, fall in love in lawsuits, conquer the world and fall in love, invent and fall in love, and fall in love in another world...... Life is all about falling in love!

Hojo-sensei, genius!

"You're a genius, Hojo-sensei!"

Tetsuya Shimomura raised his head, his eyes full of reverence.

"Wherever and wherever you are, the guidance that Shimomura editors have always given is also important." Kyosuke Hojo said modestly.

"Don't limit your eyes to mystery fans, this comic can be said to be too good."

Tetsuya Shimomura's tone is uplifting, the status of neon literary reasoning is unique, but they are comic magazines, or shonen manga! What do teenage boys and girls care about? In addition to killing and killing, there is only XXXX, and the audience is much more than reasoning fans!

Any subject has its own target group, and many works have been criticized for being too obvious because their target group is too obvious. Tetsuya Shimomura started from the perspective of reasoning to the reader, but now that he has changed his perspective, he suddenly feels that the world is vast and promising!

In this case, the publicity strategy needs to be adjusted a little. Before, if I wanted to serialize, I was going to focus on Heisei Holmes, but now ......"

The editors were extremely excited, and they had already planned a publicity plan.

Kyosuke Hojo looked at the old man in front of him, and his smile gradually became kinder.

That's right, don't worry so much, just think about how to make my work more popular and make me more money.

Then the two discussed the plot for a while, mainly Kyosuke Hojo said that the editor of Shimomura listened. The more I listen to the old man's expression, the more excited I become, so much content, how many years will it have to be serialized! This can be the new pillar of the magazine!

Excited, excited, he suddenly reacted.

How do you feel, Mr. Hojo seems to have already drawn the content behind, otherwise how could he be so pictured?

"Hojo, you're really only done with that?" He asked, patting the sketch on the table.

"Don't you see all the timestamps? How much do you think I can draw in a morning? "Kyosuke Hojo doesn't have a good airway.

"Oh, too......" Tetsuya Shimomura reacted, and he didn't bother anymore, maybe this is a genius, right? As Hojo-sensei said in an interview before, he just saw another world.

After discussing for a while, Tetsuya Shimomura suddenly said worriedly:

"It's just that this might not be good for Hojo's reputation......"

After all, this kind of falling in love in the skin of a mystery comic is somewhat impolite, especially since the first readers must be looking at the name of Kyosuke Hojo's reasoning master.

"Will it affect sales?" Kyosuke Hojo asked rhetorically.

"This ...... Probably better, right? ”

Tetsuya Shimomura couldn't help but rise the corners of his mouth, black and red are also red, and if there is controversy, there will be traffic, those who are not interested in Kyosuke Hojo and are not interested in reasoning, after seeing the quarrel, they may buy it to see what is going on.

"Is there anything wrong with that?" A smile also appeared on Kyosuke Hojo's face.

"There is still a problem, this time I can increase your manuscript fee again." Shimomura's smile was incomparably brighter.

"It doesn't matter if the manuscript fee doesn't rise, it's best to add a few percentage points to the royalty rate."

"This ...... A meeting is needed to discuss it. ”

The two laughed again, and the atmosphere was much better than at the beginning, until there was a knock on the door. (End of chapter)
