Zongman: Why is your comic full of knives?

Friday, after school.

In a cafe near Shueisha.

Nangong Mu and Yinsha Jianzhang sat opposite each other.

"......This week,"Magic Circle" has been serialized in"Weekly Shonen Jump".

According to the reader survey questionnaires received, it is currently in the top three."

The survey questionnaire is also an old tradition of Shueisha.

Through the questionnaires sent back by readers, it can be clearly seen which works are popular and which are not.

Of course, this generalization is also somewhat one-sided.

The simplest example.

Many men like"Tolove", but because it is too astringent, they don't want others to know that they chose it as one of the top three works.

For example, Nisio Isin's comic"The Strongest President Black God" co-produced with Akatsuki Akira in WJ (the abbreviation of"Weekly Shonen Jump"), although The ratings have always been at the bottom, but every time a single volume is released, it sells very well.

The reason for this is simply because Nisio Isin's works are very sticky, but his fans don't like to buy wj.

Back to the topic.

Nangong Mu thought about the plot of the first episode of"Yuan".

How to say it, although there is a foreshadowing of Homura Akemi returning to the present through the timeline, without knowing the specific plot as a premise, it is not much different from ordinary magical girls.

For a magazine that focuses on boys' comics, magical girls are definitely not popular.

But the feedback from readers is also very good.

There is only one reason for this situation.

These readers have purchased the single volume and know the subsequent plot!

"I didn't expect that editor Yinsha would care about this kind of thing."

Yinsha saw Zhang helplessly spreading his hands:"Why do you think adults work hard for?""

No matter how passionate you are, if there is no corresponding reward, it will be exhausted!

The only thing that can move a mature adult is salary.

"The top three works in the monthly total score can get a bonus, I am counting on you."

After saying that, Yinsha saw Zhang looking at Nangong Mu pitifully.

"I think you should rely more on the readers."

"By the way, as a benefit, the author can also receive a bonus!"

"And it’s much higher than what our editors can get!"

After saying that, Yinsha saw Zhang looking at her with envy.

Nangong Mu nodded seriously:"I will urge fans to vote for"Magic Circle" more!"

This guy!

How can he be so fickle!

Yinsha saw Zhang pull the corner of his mouth, considering that he could also reap the benefits, and gave up vomiting....

"wrong!"

"Don’t you have an official SNS account yet?"

Nangong Mu rolled his eyes and said,"Are you the editor or am I the editor?"

"Shouldn't you have thought of this in advance?"

Although I was angry, this guy was not wrong.

Not thinking of this, it can be said that she was negligent as an editor!

"Sorry, I'll help you apply when I get back."

Nangong Mu nodded and gave the other person a teachable look.

Don't be angry!

Yinsha saw Zhang clenched his fists and took a deep breath.

"......Sales of the Madoka Magica single volume are declining this week, but it should not be difficult to break through 100,000 copies."

"Isn't it normal for sales to drop in the second week? Relax."

"100,000 copies is already impressive."

Yinsha saw Zhang nod subconsciously, and then reacted.

Wait.

Shouldn't I be the one to say these words? How did this guy say them?

And why does this scene look so much like a secretary reporting to her boss?

But if you think about it carefully,......

"This guy's work has excellent results and sells well, so he can get more salary and bonus."

The case is solved!

So this guy is my boss, and Shueisha is just a third-party company that pays wages on my behalf!

It's natural to report to the company!

I found a reason to successfully convince myself.

It seems useless, but at least I feel better.

"......"

After talking about his recent situation, Yinsha saw Zhang showing a serious expression.

"So, Mr. Nangong, why did you specially ask me to meet you today?"

"Don't be nervous, it's nothing serious."

Nangong Mu waved his hand, signaling the other party to relax a little, and then said:

"《I have finished drawing Madoka Magica. Today I am going to give you the rest of the manuscript."

"The painting is finished."

Yinsha saw Zhang nodded and said with emotion:"In fact, Teacher Nangong doesn't have to work so hard."

"The manuscripts you gave me last time are enough to last for a long time!"

Take the published single volume for example, the total of 12 chapters on it are enough for more than two months!

It's totally okay to be a little lazy.

"That's true, but I won't draw"Magic Circle" anymore."

Sure enough!

Yinsha covered her head when she saw Zhang. How could this guy not be a"problem child" based on his behavior?

But it's also her job to correct such problem children!

At this time, I have to show my dignity as an editor!

Yinsha clenched her fist when she saw Zhang, and encouraged herself.

Then she showed a bright smile on her face and said humbly:"Excuse me, Teacher Nangong, has something happened at home?"

"If you have any questions, please tell me. I believe the company is very willing to help!!"

"You don't have to hide anything from me!"

Nangong Mu looked at Yinsha Jianzhang in confusion:"What are you talking about?"

"Then I'll be frank."

Yinsha saw Zhang speak seriously:"The performance of"Magic Circle" is so good, why do you choose to suspend publication?"

"Suspension? When did I say that?"

Yinsha saw Zhang was aggrieved:"Didn't you just say that you would not draw"Magic Circle" anymore?"

"I've already finished painting, why should I paint again?"

"So the painting is finished."

Yinsha saw Zhang heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.

Then he widened his eyes and shouted in shock:"Finished!?"

The voice was so loud that it attracted everyone's attention.

Yinsha saw that Zhang had no time to care about these things, so he said anxiously:

"You mean the manuscript you gave me this time is not just for the next one, but for everything from"Magic Circle" to the end! ?"

"That's right"

"？？"

Yinsha saw that Zhang couldn't accept it.

What kind of speed is this guy?

Why is he so fast! ?

Even a small electric motor shouldn't be so exaggerated!!

No, that's not right!

No matter how fast it is, a long comic book can't be finished so quickly.

Unless......

"Teacher Nangong, let me ask you, how many separate volumes can be published for the remaining plot of"Magic Circle"?"

"One book."

As expected!!

This is not a long comic at all, but a short story that has been serialized for less than half a year!!

Yinsha saw Zhang was in a dilemma and couldn't help but persuade him:"Teacher Nangong,"Magic Circle" still has great potential.

I don't think it needs to end so soon."

"The story I want to tell is over now, so it should end."

"Don't you think it's a pity?

I may not be able to draw such a hit next time, and I may not be able to get the opportunity to be serialized so easily.

The most important thing is to come up with a new story, which is not easy."

"If this is all you're worried about, I think you can rest assured."

"Um?"

"In fact, I have already drawn the beginning of the next work."

"？？"

Yinsha saw Zhang sitting in his seat in a daze, his face full of confusion and helplessness.

Was it not an illusion of my hearing just now?

If not.........When did it become so easy to draw comics! ?
