Big Manga

"Oriental Fantasy Township" is not so much a subject matter as it is a fictional world setting.

The history of Gensokyo can be traced back to several centuries ago. At that time, there were monsters in the world. The prosperity of human civilization gradually oppressed the power of monsters. The powerful monsters felt an unprecedented crisis for their own existence.

In order to solve this crisis, Yakumo Zi, a sage of monsters, proposed and implemented a monster expansion plan-creating a virtual and real realm around Gensokyo, dividing Gensokyo and the outside world into a "virtual" world and a "real" world, Build Gensokyo into a world that attracts "illusory things", attract wandering monsters into Gensokyo, and gradually strengthen the power of monsters. Then use the Hakurei Great Barrier to block Gensokyo's communication with the outside world, thereby providing a shelter for the monsters.

A powerful barrier blocks the outside of Gensokyo, and the outside of Gensokyo cannot confirm the existence of Gensokyo, and it is also impossible to enter Gensokyo from the outside. The monsters have established a civilization like a paradise on the border of this eastern country.

The original Gensokyo started with a game. Due to the open copyright, a large number of fan writers produced stories, comics, music, games, and even various other derivatives around this theme, which also brought prosperity to the series.

Meng Huo had a more detailed collection of settings in his mind. He thought that if he released the collection and let other cartoonists play it, it would probably cause a sensation, but the risk was also high. After all, Huaxia's comics have not develop.

But he also likes another idea, which is to open up some copyrights of "Pokemon" and expand the comic adaptation market.

This is an idea that suddenly came to him. In fact, the authority of "Pokemon" is open to other cartoonists, and it can be adapted into various stories. However, this idea has no historical reference. The original copyright protection of this series is relatively strict, which limits the development of fans and comics.

Meng Huo felt that there was nothing wrong with releasing part of the copyright. As long as he had the settings of the elves in his hands, he would have the decisive authority, and other people's stories would evolve from his settings.

Moreover, opening up the copyright of comics will bring about excellent effects.

The cartoonists of Phoenix Company are definitely willing to prepare stories with the help of animation, and they write stories centered on elves, which echoes the animation of Ninghai TV Station. Animation promotes the release of magazines, and magazines can also make animation more popular.

This is the best of both worlds. The "Pokemon" series has great potential and the timing is right. If it is done well, Meng Huo believes that it is more suitable for increasing magazine sales than "Oriental Fantasy Township".

"Which one should I choose..."

Meng Huo fell into trouble.

"You can choose both."

When he was troubled, Shen Jie suddenly said: "No one asks you to choose one."

Shen Jie was also in the hotel. In the three days, she stayed at Meng Huo's hotel for at least two and a half days. The excuse was to practice the lines of the second episode of "Pokemon", but she always liked to lie on the bed and read comics.

And just lie down, this guy even turned up the temperature of the air conditioner, took off his coat, lay on the bed in cool clothes, and showed off his figure without hesitation.

She also likes to take a bath occasionally, and the bathroom door is always ajar.

Meng Huo couldn't help but suspect that Shen Jie was trying to rape him on purpose, but every time such thoughts popped up, he would immediately dismiss them. Shen Jie has a conservative personality, and how could a sixteen-year-old girl do such a thing.

He still remembered the scene when Shen Jie swore that she would not fall in love early.

In the end, Meng got to a conclusion that Shen Jie didn't treat him as a man.

"It turns out that she treats me as a best friend..."

This made Meng Huo very complicated.

However, he still wondered about one thing. It's the Chinese New Year, why does Shen Jie run to the hotel all day long?

To this question, Shen Jie answered logically.

"I'm good at studying. After I got home, I don't know how many relatives came to visit. My parents almost regarded me as an exhibit, and they would praise me wherever I went. I couldn't stand it. I was so bored that I came out to hide."

She escaped from home in the name of being a tutor. Others knew that she had to be a tutor during the winter vacation, and they all praised her for being sensible, and even helped her family relieve financial pressure.

Shen Jie's lies are very good, and she still has the money she earned as a voice actress, so it's hard to be discovered.

So Meng Huo didn't say anything, and let her use her room as a refuge. Naturally, she also told Shen Jie about the licensing of "Pokemon" comics and "Oriental Fantasy Township".

"Choose both."

Shen Jie's proposal made Meng Huo smile wryly. In fact, Shen Jie was right, no one forced him to choose one.

However, Meng Huo has to lead the two themes, and it is very difficult to implement them. In desperation, he listed both of them as candidates, and decided to discuss with Xu Jing after returning to Ninghai. If he had enough energy, two of them would be fine.

In fact, more themes are easier to attract readers. The two weekly magazines of Phoenix Company now have two comics of Hexi, Gundam and Magical Girl series, a total of seven articles. If two more types are added, then the comic magazine can be enriched. Get up, and the quality has also improved.

The subject matter is decided, and all that's left is a new comic.

The choice of this manga was also very difficult. Meng Huo initially planned to choose a manga with a simple style, because the experience of "Detective Conan" told him that simple manga is easier to let others draw.

Meng Huo may have to draw a comic that fights wits and courage like "Death Note" for several years.

So simple, easy to find assistants—Meng Huo thought of comics such as "Doraemon", "Crayon Shin-chan", and "Chibi Maruko-chan". After thinking about it, he gave up again.

He asked himself a word.

"You want to develop into children's comics?"

The result is of course negative. The animation of "Pokemon" will be aired soon, and there is no need for him to write children's comics, and the main readers of "Weekly Boys" and "Weekly Girls" are not elementary school students.

If "Doraemon" is serialized, the sales of the magazine will not increase much, and readers may not be satisfied.

Meng Huo's current readers are young people, and some adults in their 30s and 40s. These people are also the sales targets of mainstream culture. They love to read books and spend money. Publishing comics for them can achieve the best economic effect.

So Meng Huo changed his mind, thinking that driving sales should be intense and breathtaking comics. He can draw readers in and create a sensation with an intense story, but the story should not be too long for a quick conclusion.

A few days later, he wrote the title of the manga.
