We’ve traveled through Tokyo, who still wants to simulate love?

When Asaba Kazama was about to go home, Takano Ken followed him out of the restaurant.

"Teacher Qianyu, please give me more advice in the future." He said seriously.

Qianyu Kazama shook his head: "It's nothing, as long as it can be serialized smoothly, I will be relieved."

“This week’s reader questionnaire has come out, and judging from the results, I’m afraid there will be room for three new works this time.

Teacher Qianyu, the team leader has just communicated with me. As long as you can maintain this level, there will definitely be a place for you, teacher, among the three vacancies. "

Shueisha is a typical reader survey supremacist. The ranking of the questionnaire determines whether the comics can continue to be serialized.

Editor Takano's meaning is obvious. Recently, some works have been declining continuously, and there is a high probability that they will be taken down.

Asaha Kazama nodded: "I'm sorry, Mr. Takano, please let me know when the news comes out, and I'll treat you to dinner."

Takano Ken glanced at him.

Is this the confidence of a genius?

It’s not that I’ll treat you to a meal after you pass, but I’ll treat you to a meal when there’s news.

However, Takano Ken took it for granted.

"Although I really want to stand up and say, 'How much effort we put into this work,' we still have to convey it through comics. You have a talent far beyond ordinary people in this regard."

After chatting for a few more words, the two parted ways.

…

[Location: Shueisha·Weekly Shōnen Jump Editorial Department]

After the reader questionnaire was distributed, some people in the office are happy and some are sad.

Takano Ken was also restless.

The structure of their department, from top to bottom, consists of 1 editor-in-chief, 3 deputy editor-in-chiefs, 5 squad leaders, and 9 responsible editors under their command.

Serialization meetings are meetings that only the editor, deputy editor, and squad leader can attend.

Today's meeting was as intense as ever. The four-hour meeting was often too long and the arguments were too intense. The middle and senior management of the editorial department even needed to put some snacks and make tea on the meeting table.

Although Takano is confident enough in Asaba Kazama's comics, he still feels worried every time he has a serialization meeting.

Bang~

The meeting door opened, and the team leader who led Takano came out and waved to his team members: "Internal meeting."

Takano Ken's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

After the serialization meeting, each team leader will communicate with the editors under his command individually about the situation of the serialization meeting. Whose authors want to be cut and whose authors want to be promoted will be informed at the small meeting.

After everyone was seated, the team leader looked at the results on his hands and didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, the team leader suddenly raised his head and said:

"Takano, congratulations, I have another serial work under my belt."

"Okay!" Takano Ken became excited.

"But..." the team leader continued.

Takano Ken's heart lifted again.

Did something go wrong?

The team leader shook his head and said one thing rather helplessly:

"Everyone is optimistic about Teacher Qianyu's potential, but he is too young. In addition, this time there is an old author opening a new book on the same theme with him... The editor-in-chief decided that the two books will be published at the same time."

"Open two hot-blooded sports series at the same time?" Takano Ken stood up subconsciously, "Team leader, don't open them at the same time. Starting two series at the same time will not make people happy at all."

The team leader shook his head.

"I'll go talk to the deputy editor." Takano went out directly and went to his boss.

"Takano, what's wrong?"

"Boss, this is a very high-level work. As a newcomer, Teacher Qianyu's ability to take a crucial step depends on this!"

The deputy editor-in-chief shook his head and said helplessly: "Takano, this is the decision of the meeting."

"Boss, if two books of the same genre are published together, the chances of the series becoming a popular work will be reduced by 80%! 80%!

I also know that I shouldn't worry about this, but the author is too pitiful if he doesn't fight for him.

Let the work be presented in the most interesting state. I do it from this standpoint. "

The deputy editor sighed and finally said:

"I'll arrange a big color page for you. That's it. This is a compromise."

…

The other end.

Another editor-in-chief was having the same conversation with the old author Reki Matsuda, who had confirmed that the series had been approved.

"Teacher Matsuda, we are going to publish two passionate sports works this time, and they will be serialized in the same issue."

"Start in the same period?"

"Yes, two bombs."

Matsuda Reki, who is already in his thirties, had an embarrassed expression on his face: "It feels like we are competing against each other."

"Yes, try your best not to lose, the other party is quite interesting too."

"Yeah?"

Then there was silence.

The editor was expressionless. He had seen this kind of scene many times. He was touched at first, but now it was almost gone. He took the initiative and said:

"But if you don't get the survey votes for the first episode...the first episode is very important. I'm afraid you need to pay more attention to the content of the work."

"One word will determine the outcome?"

"Um."

"Isn't it a comic scroll?" If it is a scroll, it means that the editors are more optimistic about their work.

"right."

"Did we lose?" Matsuda Reki looked unhappy.

"The other party's evaluation is relatively high, so we have to do a good job and let him take a good look." The editor said seriously, and Matsuda Reki nodded. He came to this industry, who doesn't want to become famous.

[Location: Qian Yu’s house]

Jingle bell bell~

The phone rang, Asaba Kazuki answered the call, and Editor Takano's voice came out.

"Teacher Asaba, congratulations on the serialization. As I said before, the planning content is very good. "What's going on? This guy is so interesting. I want to watch it next week." The depth and affinity of the characters have been demonstrated, and everyone has won recognition. "

Qianyu Kazama nodded and said bluntly: "Are there any changes?"

"You heard it... There is an old author at the same time who is also planning to serialize it at the same time. Don't worry, the editor-in-chief recognizes your potential. We will arrange a large color page for you. Teacher Qianyu, please be sure to show your potential. Charm and get your ideas across to your readers!”

"Don't worry about me." Qian Yufengjian said calmly, "I just draw the good works in my heart, and leave the rest to the readers to evaluate."

Takano Ken breathed a sigh of relief, but was worried that Asaha Kazama would not be satisfied with the result.

Now it seems that Teacher Qianyu is fairly easy to communicate with.

Of course, the reason why Asaba Kazama doesn't care is because he has enough confidence in his work.

The second reason is because all he needs is the ticket to be serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump.

This was his stepping stone to open the door of the animation studio.

When the two were about to hang up the phone, Asaba Kazama vaguely heard the voices of other editors talking to the author on the phone.

"A serialization meeting was held... Unfortunately, it has been decided to end. The ranking has risen a little recently. I have been begging the higher-ups to wait and see one more chapter, but there is still no way."

"I originally hoped that this work would become a hit and make you happy."

"It's probably hard for the teacher's charm to be used on this subject~ Ah, I'm so sorry."

…

After hanging up the phone, Asaba Kazama sighed again, the serialization in popular comic magazines is really cruel.

But this is good news.

He thought of Ishihara Rina and sent her a message: "Sister, my manga is going to be serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump"! When it is published, can I go and read it with you?"

Within a few minutes, Ishihara Rina sent a message.

「乂(Д三Д)乂」

Rina Ishihara held her cell phone with a confused look on her face.

The authenticity of the dream has obviously been confirmed, but why did the start change?

She was fully expecting Asaba Kazama to come to her home and become his painting teacher so that the two of them could get closer.

But something seems wrong now.

Ishihara Rina's eyes widened: "Did you make a mistake?"

There will be another update at 0:00, and I will recommend it next week. I beg readers to read the latest chapter within 24 hours on Monday and Tuesday. This is related to whether the new book can go further.
