1983 Past Life Manga King

“Wow, what is all this? fan letter? Gift?”

These were the words Daebong Lee said as he came in, seeing the studio family gathering in front of the table and dismantling the large boxes.

“Uh, James, are you here?”

“Help me with this too. Too many.”

“So, what is all this?”

At that, I opened my mouth.

“It’s from Boy Jump.”

“Boy Jump? Why there?”

“They say the fans sent them to the editorial department, but I don’t know.

“okay?”

Daebong Lee licked his tongue once, and he immediately grabbed a box and began to carefully tear it open with scissors.

I also open the box hard.

The box I opened was full of letters.

“Wow, sweets, sweets. A lot.”

Kyunghee says she likes it as if the potential has exploded.

It looks like they are just happy because the sweets they see for the first time are packed in a large box. Of course, Seon-hee’s expression next to him is similar.

In front of something to eat, their expressions are so similar that you can feel that they are twins.

In the box, there are things like sweets, various plastic models, letters, daily necessities, plus health vitamins and things that look like Bacchus.

Anyway, from what I heard, they were all sent by Dragon Ball fans among Jump readers, but the amount is huge.

Just when everyone was unpacking the box and enjoying themselves, the phone rang.

“Hwan-ah Yoon, call Akagi-san.”

“uh.”

It seems to be a story about Boy Jump that was published yesterday.

It is said that the main content was an action battle scene between Calpana and Son Goku, but according to Jiro, the storyline was kept intact.

Well, thanks to that, a small amount of money was sent from Boy Jump.

Last night I was very excited because the reaction was so hot, what’s going on this time?

After answering the phone and giving a brief greeting, he spoke in an excited voice.

– The sales of Samsara and the Dark Princess Volume 1, which came out recently, are increasing.

“Yeah?”

I was surprised by Jiro’s words.

I thought it was a Dragon Ball story, but suddenly I heard that Samsara and the Dark Princess’ book sales had increased.

But he seemed to know right away.

It seems that Dragon Ball had a big influence.

– Now, there are a lot of requests from bookstores across the country to send additional books. Because of this, the printing factory is not able to rest. But that’s not enough, so it’s outsourced to other printing companies.

“Is that enough?”

– Yeah. First of all, there are many places to ask for it, but the size of the printing factory we work with is not that big.

So it’s not as much as you think?

Even so, though, it’s surprising.

– I don’t know, but it seems that more than 100,000 copies per volume will need to be printed. That’s also kept to a minimum for now.

“·················ogue.”

I was at a loss for words for a moment.

How much would it be if you added 100,000 copies per volume at once?

Samsara has already sold over 300,000 copies per volume on average. Meanwhile, at least 100,000 more copies will be added…

How much is it in terms of money?

At this point, I think I should give some bonuses to the fishermen.

I am alone in my thoughts, but Jiro is still talking on the phone.

– And that’s not all. Now, Boy Heroes have also been reprinted due to a surge in sales. This is causing uproar across publishers. Some people call it the ‘Kalpana phenomenon’.

Jiro asked with a puzzled expression on his face.

“Kalpana… Phenomenon?”

– Yeah. It seems that the word came from the attractiveness of Calpana, who appeared in the manga called Dragon Ball. In addition, in the Dragon Ball episode that came out this time, the action with Son Goku became a hot topic, and related products are being sold at the same time. Thanks to that, the Samsara OVA that came out a while ago has also been receiving additional spells, so it seems that the ripple effect is considerable.

It is also the magnificence of the greatest cartoon ever.

Of course, it hasn’t exploded in popularity as a legendary manga yet, but it’s still this much.

I thought that it might affect Samsara’s popularity to some extent, but it far exceeded my expectations.

It’s like riding on a running tiger.

– Oh, and this is just my opinion.

“···········?”

– This is the setting book that Sunny sold at Comiket in the past. That’s what I thought of, Sunny, don’t you usually draw a lot of illustrations in the practice room? I know it’s quite a lot.

“Yes.”

Of course, Seon-hee, you call it graffiti, but no one thinks it’s graffiti.

Now Jiro is talking about those pictures.

– How about making it into a booklet and selling it? Of course, we can’t expect to sell a lot, so I was wondering if I could make a high-quality booklet and print it in about 3,000 copies. If you have 3,000 copies, there is no loss because it is the number of copies that you can earn roughly. It is a kind of event, but it is also an opportunity to raise interest in Sunny. As the person in charge, I always regret that Sunny’s talent doesn’t seem to be well known only with Samsara, Pasiencia, and Dark Princess.

“I think that’s fine with me.”

To be honest, I always felt regretful that such high-quality paintings were rotting in the studio, but Jiro seems to be thinking the same thing as me.

And at this point, it may be necessary to imprint the image of Seon-hee a little more.

Of course, it may be difficult to appeal to the general public, but it is definitely necessary if you think about the future.

Even now, of course, it seems that new cartoonists who were influenced by Seon-hee are on the rise, but it is clear that many cartoonists will have an impact on aspiring students in the future.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

It is also good for Seon-hee’s future to make a lot of these booklets on such an occasion.

“But first, let’s talk about the illustration booklet with Seonhee and decide.”

– Yes sir. It is not urgent, so please review it thoroughly before contacting us.

“Yeah.”

After finishing the phone call with Jiro, I went to Seonhee.

Then Seon-hee bowed her head and did not ask, but she answered.

“I like it too.”

“Did you hear the conversation?”

“Huh. It’s the graffiti you drew in the practice field right?

Boy, your ears are bright.

“But not graffiti. Anyway, that’s right. Anyway, do you agree?”

“Huh.”

Seonhee nodded her head.

Then Park Soo-mi stopped her work and asked me.

“I’m sorry to overhear, what’s the kalpana phenomenon over there?”

“Oh right. I heard that too. I wonder.”

It seems that all the fishermen have heard about the Kalpana phenomenon. Anyway, most of them look at me with their eyes twinkling.

“It seems that Kalpana got a lot of attention from people when she appeared in Dragon Ball. So it seems that the sales of books and OVAs are increasing. And······.”

He explained everything in detail, down to the specific details he had heard from Jiro. Then the fishermen’s reaction was hot.

“Isn’t this going to go up to 500,000 copies per volume?”

“From what I’ve heard, it seems likely.”

“I’m just nervous. Oh, but… I want to brag about this, but it’s a pity that I don’t have anything else to do.”

“It’s something to be proud of.”

“Sister, who should believe me?”

“Well, so am I. My mom just said I was making a lot of money and she liked it.”

“You too. So is my mother.”

Then Sung Joon-hee said with a smile.

“Still, we can love each other. Isn’t it?”

“It is.”

So the fishermen are excited and happy.

Silver, who had been nodding his head as if he was satisfied with what was next to him, said, for some reason, abruptly with a sudden look.

“Is Fasiencia a cold wind again?”

“Pasiencia has over 200,000 copies, so what kind of cold wind is it?”

“It’s relative, it’s relative. Even if I don’t feel poor, being with a rich person makes me feel poor.”

“What are you talking about?”

“People are like that. There is no satisfaction, I mean.”

Saying so, he grunts.

I am well aware that even if that person speaks like that, his heart doesn’t.

Then Mija Jeong asked me.

“By the way, when is this jump coming?”

“It will come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It will probably take some time.”

“I want to see you soon.”

“Me too.”

* * *

Quang!

Kalpana, pushed back in shock, frowns on her face. Then he straightens his posture and smiles.

[It’s pretty good for a little theme.][You are great too. Too strong. So I’m very happy.][This is it, wow. Is it just enough to be recognized by a kid like that? Still, I don’t feel bad.][I feel good too!]

Seeing Goku fluttering in her excitement, Kalpana laughed.

[Kid, what’s your name?][Oh Goku, it’s Goku! A name given to me by my grandfather.][I am Calfana.]

Goku tilted his head.

[Your name is weird!][Because you’re weirder!][is it?][···········.][Now let’s make a final decision.][I want to do that too, but I’m busy right now. I had to follow him earlier.][okay? too bad.][Then I’ll see you next time. Let’s make a decision then.]

Son Goku nodded his head.

[Good!]

After hearing Son Goku’s answer, Calfana gave a satisfied expression on her face and immediately lifted her body up into the air. Looking at it, Goku waved his hand.

So the battle between the two was over.

The stage was in a mess due to the battle that had just been fought, and the spectators had yet to come to their senses.

That’s how the last page ends.

“Wow, this is really fun. It’s so sad that it ends like this.”

“Yeah. The battle of Calpana was really great. I also liked Son Goku’s wit.”

“When I saw Calpana’s splendid attacks armed with amazing items in competitions where I fought with my own strength, the feeling of immersion was amazing.”

“It was said in the story of the writer who was additionally drawn after the end of Dragon Ball, but the name of the battle part was drawn by Sunny himself. I was very surprised to see that. I didn’t even notice it because it was completely different from Samsara and the Dark Princess until now.”

“I just thought it was drawn by Akira Toriyama himself. Because it was so natural. So I thought he would have roughly changed Sunny’s name to his own, but when I saw the real name, it didn’t make sense.”

“Perhaps most of the people who watched this episode thought so?”

The people of the Samsara Research Group gathered at the cafe and each made a loud noise as they watched each jump.

“But it seems like there are more people in the cafe today than usual?”

“Ah, when I went to the bathroom earlier, the people gathered at the table over there were all buzzing about Dragon Ball.”

“Kids these days are more fussy. My younger brother said that when boys gather at school, they all talk about Dragon Ball. That’s why it’s so popular right now. Besides, Kalpana’s popularity is not without a hitch.”

“Hey, Calpana’s sexy feeling in Dragon Ball is really amazing.”

In the meantime, there are people who look back at Boy Jump again and look at the picture of Calpana, which appeared the most.

“Wow, it is full of charm, overflowing. I think it looks prettier because it appears in Dragon Ball.”

“It’s probably because Toriyama reflects her personal taste.”

“Well. It smells a bit like that.”

“By the way, isn’t calfana bromide coming out again?”

“I tried to contact Boy Hero, but they said there were no plans yet.”

“Are you stupid? You should have called the Big Hero that the Dark Princess is serializing right now.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“What are these things talking about? A few days later, Akagi-san, you said you were going to the meeting. Then you can ask.”

“Oh, I forgot.”

Then a man approached the table where they were gathered.

“Hey, why are you here now? I’m 20 minutes late, so I’ll pay a 200 yen fine.”

“Hey, that’s not important.”

“Look, that guy is trying to sneak up on you like this again. Not this time. Absolutely 200 yen.”

“Did you see it hanging over there in the bookstore right now?”

“Hurry up and talk to me.”

“Damn it, okay, okay. Humans are merciless.”

Saying so, she took two 100-yen coins from her pocket and opened her mouth again.

“Good. Now tell me.”

“Because there was a poster stating that Sunny’s illustration book was coming out.”

“What?”

“Really?!”
