Big Manga

Li Qin went home soon, and she was surprised and happy to see Shen Jie at home, and then took away Meng Huo's dominance.

Shen Jie spent the last few days talking and getting along with Li Qin. Li Qin seemed very reluctant to leave her. Originally, Shen Jie was going to leave at noon on the ninth day of the ninth day, but Li Qin insisted on keeping her at home for dinner, and then took her away. The driver called to take Shen Jie back to school.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the mother and son bid farewell to Shen Jie at the door.

"No matter how nervous you are studying in the third year of high school, you must come here when you have time." Li Qin helped Shen Jie tie a scarf like her own daughter, and said with a doting face: "Don't study too hard. When you want to come over, give auntie Make a call, and Auntie will prepare some delicious food for you, just to replenish your body... You have lost some weight recently."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Shen Jie said with slightly red eyes that she and Li Qin had always had a good relationship, but when Meng Huo was not at home, their relationship took a step further. Meng Huo didn't know what happened to them, but in the past two days he found that Li Qin and Shen Jie got along even closer than himself, which even made him feel a little uncomfortable...

"Madam, young master, I will take Miss Shen Jie away first..."

When the driver bid farewell to the mother and son, Meng Huo came out: "Let me give her a ride together."

His words surprised the other three. Li Qin stared at his son in astonishment. He would take the initiative to send Shen Jie back to school. Why did he suddenly change his gender today?

"Is Yumu's head enlightened?"

This thought flashed in his mind, but Li Qin was happy to see it come true. He watched Meng Huo get into the car with a smile on his face, and Shen Jie in the car was also very surprised, his eyes sparkled, but after getting into the car, Meng Huo was as indifferent as usual, and just said something.

"I'm so bored at home, I just go out for a walk..."

Shen Jie was a little disappointed. But no matter what, it was a good thing that Meng Huo was willing to spend more time with her, and it made her happy all the way.

When the car drove to Ninghai No. 1 Middle School, Shen Jie got out of the car and took her luggage. Then bid farewell to Meng Huo. He walked away lightly.

"Master, what are you going to do next?"

asked the driver.

"Just wandering around. I'll see if there's anything I can do."

Meng Huo replied that he was sitting in the car watching the night in Ninghai, but in the end he couldn't find anything to do.

I went straight home.

When I got home. Li Qin smiled and prepared a cup of hot milk for him.

"Why did you take the initiative to send Shen Jie off today?" She said, "What happened in the past few days?"

"Nothing happened."

Meng Huo drank the milk and replied, "Mom, do you like Shen Jie very much?"

"She is a good child." Li Qin said with a smile: "Smart, obedient, and pragmatic, she will be a good wife. I think you can seriously consider it."

His son has grown up, and Li Qin doesn't shy away from talking about these topics now that he has turned eighteen. She felt that it was time for Meng Huo to find a girlfriend.

"I see...Mom, I'm going to take a shower first."

Meng Huo finished drinking the milk, said a word and turned to the bathroom. Li Qin likes Shen Jie, and the way they get along is really close. This made Meng Huo a little shaken—although Li Qin gave him freedom, Meng Huo would definitely not find a woman who didn't get along well with his mother-in-law. From this aspect, Shen Jie was very suitable.

Meng Huo didn't have much time to spend with Li Qin, so he hoped to marry a housekeeper. And he doesn't hate Shen Jie, as time goes by, he can't hate this girl more and more, even the indifference at the beginning is hard to last.

If you choose Shen Jie, maybe you can cut off Alice's thoughts.

"Let's wait until she graduates to see the situation..."

Lying in the bathtub, Meng Huo thought about it. The past events still had a certain impact on him. After self-discovery during the trip, Meng Huo had an idea—maybe getting married early would help him settle down. After having a child and stabilizing the family and parents, he can paint without worrying about these things in the future.

But even though he thinks so rationally, Meng Huo is still unfamiliar with marriage after two lifetimes, and he also has a little resistance. The emotional and family issues became more and more troublesome. He sighed and decided not to think about it for the time being. Meng Huo covered his head with a towel and returned his mind to the comics again.

The next day, he called Alice to come and collect the manuscript. But the female editor was still unwilling to meet Li Qin. Although Meng Huo repeatedly said that it was okay, she did not agree.

In desperation, Meng Huo went out with the manuscript and met Alice in a quiet coffee shop.

"When did you become so timid?"

As soon as we met, he said a little uncomfortable.

"It's not timidity, it's guilt." Alice smiled wryly, looking at the manuscript in Meng Huo's hand, and asked, "Are those manuscripts? So thick!?"

The manuscript in Meng Huo's hand is indeed very thick. He finished the story from the beginning of the story of "Shakuyan Shana" to the plot of defeating Fariagni, the man of the Red World. This is the first major event in the original work. Meng Huo wanted to draw the plot of the first season of the original animation in one go, but there were too many words, so he had to give up.

""Shakugan no Shana"?"

After receiving the manga from Meng Huo, after seeing the title, Alice had the same thought as Shen Jie: "Is this a shoujo manga?"

Judging from the name, "Shakugan no Shana" does not have the shadow of a boy manga, but its content is really a boy manga. Meng Huo briefly introduced the general information of the manga, and then let Alice read it by himself. He ordered coffee next to him, and waited quietly for Alice to finish reading.

Soon, Alice finished watching it in shock.

"This comic is very interesting, Meng Huo, you are such a genius!" She said excitedly: "The setting of the power of existence is very good, and the protagonist is still a person whose existence has been eaten - interesting, and Very exciting!"

The power of existence, this is the key setting in "Shakugan no Shana", it is the energy that maintains the existence of everything in the world, and it is also the fundamental energy necessary for the "people of the red world" to manifest and activate their abilities. After surviving and using their abilities, the "people of the red world" attack human beings and devour the human beings who have the power of existence, thus gaining the "power of existence".

The beginning of "Shakugan no Shana" is about the protagonist being swallowed, and then followed by a girl. A story of rebellion against these red-worlders. After all, she is a professional, and Alice saw the charm of the setting in the story at a glance. The plot of this comic is also very good, the setting is cruel, but the plot has the style of campus love. It's also fun to read.

"However. Isn't this a short story?" Alice frowned and said, "You told a story in a few episodes. Although the story ends, the manga should not end, right?"

"No, your dad didn't tell you?" Meng Huo was a little surprised that Xu Jing didn't tell Alice about these things, but it's not too late for him to explain: ""Shaking Eyes of Shana" is not a novel. It is not a short story. I The plan is to launch a story every month, with the first ending in a few months."

He took a sip of coffee and said: "But this is just the ending of the first part, it will be empty for a year or so, and I will start the second part.

"The pattern is strange..." Alice understood, and she was a little surprised. Meng Huo's update mode is very strange in the current comics world: "But forget it, as long as you have confidence... that's fine."

After thinking about it, Alice still didn't make too many demands on the update model. She had great confidence in Meng Huo. Although it is a monthly magazine. But wasn't "One Piece" launched as a monthly magazine? The monthly magazine can directly hand over the content of a few chapters to the readers at the beginning. This mode actually seems very enjoyable...

"But Meng Huo, if it's a monthly magazine, then don't you have to reopen the "Xi" manga?"

Alice asked, apart from the "Xi" manga, Phoenix Company does not have a more suitable platform for Meng Huo to publish monthly magazines.

""Xi" manga stopped for a while, it's time to take it out..."

Meng Huo nodded. He stopped publishing Ximan last year, and now he just released it for the serialization of "Shakugan no Shana".

"That's just right, Meng Huo, you can choose some comics from "Weekly Boys" and put them together on "Xi" comics." Alice's eyes lit up, and said: "If you don't like other people's comics, you can also post your own comics. Transferred to "Xi" manga, changed to a monthly serial, which can also reduce your work pressure."

Meng Huo was taken aback for a moment, this time he was surprised, and quite surprised.

Alice actually suggested that he evacuate his comics to "Pity" for serialization, which is incredible. His comics are all popular serialized comics. If he withdraws from the weekly magazine to the monthly magazine, Phoenix will suffer the most.

"Why do you want to do this?"

he asked.

"Because the company is in trouble now..." Alice put the manuscript away, and said with a wry smile: "I sorted out the company's documents during the Chinese New Year, and found that there were too many new cartoonists added last year. We only have two comic magazines. If you can't accommodate so many people, you can't bear it anymore..."

Phoenix Company has developed quite fast in the past year, but their magazines only have two magazines, "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl". In these two magazines, Meng Huo occupies several positions, leaving a few competitions for serial positions. The degree is extremely intense. The two weekly magazines have been thickened several times during the year, and the selling price has also increased, which has gradually become a burden for consumers.

Especially after Meng Huo defeated Mantiantang in the Far East District, all the cartoonists in the Far East District joined in, and Phoenix Company was even more overwhelmed.

"The buying crowd of "Weekly Youth" has stabilized. Meng Huo, you don't need to put all your works on it, so "Xi" comics are restarted...you can pick a few and put them in "Xi" comics to become a monthly magazine, leaving more space for Rookie cartoonists... Now there are many young people who have reached the standard for serialization, but they can’t be serialized because they don’t have a place. In the long run, the cartoonists in our company have to leave.”

Alice persuaded.

Meng Huo fully understood the situation, and couldn't help laughing: "Your method doesn't solve the problem at all. There is an easier method. Since there are not enough places for serialization, then add two more weekly magazines to the current one. The number of cartoonists that can be accommodated is more.”

"I also thought about this method, but it is too difficult for New Weekly to open up the market again..."

"What's the difficulty? Separating the comics of popular cartoonists is like letting my "One Piece" continue to be serialized in "Weekly Shonen", and "Detective Conan" is put in a new magazine, and the readers will gradually divide. After a while, the new magazine will be launched."

Meng Huo said.

Alice was dumbfounded. This is indeed a solution, but this method has great risks. Dividing the comics will cause many original readers to have opinions, and it will also cause great losses to Phoenix Company. Phoenix Company is going to relocate to Suhua now, the tense is already sensitive, if it does this kind of thing again, it will be even more dangerous...

"Just do what you want. Expanding the magazine is the top priority of the company's development." Meng Huo saw through Alice's mind and said, "Now I am the host. Let's make a big move. Don't worry, nothing will happen... After work, I plan to make new animations...the first half of this year is full of things, you have to be mentally prepared..."

Make a new animation? Alice was even more surprised. She glanced at the original manuscript and thought in her heart that it was no wonder, no wonder Meng Huo wanted to release "Shakuyan's Shana" in this form. It turned out that he had no intention of giving up the idea of ​​making animations.

"I forgot he was a workaholic..."

Alice sighed, but seeing Meng Huo's steady expression, she thought it was a good idea.

"Okay, let's reform the company!" She stood up and said, "I'll go back and prepare the proposal, and..."

Alice shook the "Shakugan no Shana" in her hand: "Meng Huo, remember to read the trailer of this new manga."
