1983 Past Life Manga King

Everyone in the editorial department admits it, and even though all the cartoonists they know are busy praising Samsara, for some reason the grades have been stagnant, so it’s only natural.

It was.

Fortunately, it was fortunate that it did not fall to the lower ranks. Usually, for works of this grade, the serialization is gradually stopped at the point when one volume is running out.

Mandura raises the atmosphere and demands that the series be finished soon.

However, if you continue to hold on to the middle rank in this way, you will be ambiguous and postpone your decision.

What is more interesting is the fact that new works are serialized and there is no fixed number one work, so they always remain in the same place even though the rankings fluctuate from time to time.

Even though there are works that are being pushed from the top to the bottom and disappearing one by one, the scene has not changed.

I sit down and check the phone numbers of the illustrators while thinking about this and that, when I hear a loud noise from one side.

“3rd place?”

“okay. This time, the rankings jumped four places.”

“Ahaha, after all, Teacher Kido shouted so loudly that he was confident this time.”

Keyo was in charge of Jotaro.

Jotaro Kido’s new work, ‘The Man of Sincerity’, which has been serialized for a while, has been on the rise with tremendous momentum these days.

Considering that Kido’s previous works were completely unpredictable due to his ardent and unknown development, this work has paid attention to surprising details.

I have grown to the point where I can feel it.

Obviously, the way the story is told is that of Kido, but most of them were expecting that a talented writer might have intervened.

Of course, I’m not in charge at all.

Anyway, thanks to that, the editorial department also had high expectations for this work.

As there is no solid number one work yet, there are also rumors that it will take first place soon and will be solo unless there is a special event.

“By the way, how did you coax Keydo-sensei? I’ve been tormenting you for so long. Also······. Did a drink in Ginza work?”

“Isn’t Kido-sensei alcohol and a woman after all?”

“Oh, I’m envious. It’s time for our Morimoto-sensei to release a masterpiece this time too. What do you think? Teach me.”

“Hahaha.”

The person in charge just laughed.

Seeing this, Jiro laughed too, checked the illustrator’s phone number again, and dialed it.

“Oh, Mamiya-san? Good morning. This is Akagi, the editorial department of Weekly Shonen Hero. Actually, I called about the color problem at the beginning of this new work…”

***

The editor in charge who came to Jotaro Kido’s studio made a fuss.

“Mr. Kido! The response to this new work ‘The Man of Sincerity’ is very good. The editorial department is also upset.”

Kido chuckled at the editor’s words.

“Of course! Because my younger brother Yunan helped him by burning himself.”

“Yoonan? Is that the same helper you mentioned before?”

“okay. That’s right. That friend.”

“Can you tell me who you are?”

“Yeah, there’s no need to keep your mouth shut even to you, who is in charge.”

Having said that, he savored the aroma of the tea in front of him, tasted it slightly, and immediately opened his mouth.

“Do you know Samsara?”

“Absolutely. It’s serialized in Boy Hero, but there’s no way you can’t know it, right? But why that samsara?”

“How about Samsara?”

“How is it? It’s great work. Of course, it’s a pity that it doesn’t fit the magazine’s tendencies, and it’s a bit of a minor subject, so it’s not popular.

“I know you well. The friend who wrote the story of Samsara is Yunan, who is my brother-in-law. Of course, the same goes for Sunny who drew the picture.”

“Ah, the story writer is Yunan. But your brother-in-law? Do you mean something like Dao Won’s resolution?”

I laughed out loud again, as if I liked what the manager said.

“Ahaha, right. okay. Dowon decision.”

Kido’s manager thought it was ridiculous for a moment, but was surprised to find out that he had a brother-in-law with Sunny, who was not well known even in the publishing house.

Sunny and Yunan had already visited the editorial department in the past, but at that time, no one paid much attention to them, so no one really took an interest in them.

Anyway, even though Kido is a bit of a quirky person, it is admirable enough to be close friends with such people.

“You are so wonderful. I told you about the stories I heard from you before, but I bet you even formed a brotherhood with them.”

“then. i am someone Ha ha ha.”

When Kido laughed, so did the person in charge.

Anyway, as Kido said, it was because of the help of a writer named Yunan, the story of this manuscript was also hot from the start and caught my eye.

Looking at the name, the next few episodes are also unstoppable and the story is refreshing, so just by looking at it, it must have taken the top spot for the boy hero sooner or later.

Even now, there is almost no gap between the 1st and 2nd places, so it won’t be strange if we get 1st place anytime.

“The whole story that will go on in the future has been roughly grasped.”

“Is that true?”

“right. This time, I won’t fall into a nonsensical story like before. Yunan asked me over and over again to keep that in mind. So he wrote it down like this

all.”

Saying that, he shows the memo notebook he usually carries.

As the person in charge took a peek, unlike the previous works, it was meticulously written down to the smallest details.

Although it is difficult to grasp the exact story with memos alone, it seems that Yunan is a great person.

Seeing a human being who would not normally look at the writings of any story writer is so loyal.

“I’m going to try to win first place like this.”

“Be strong. writer. If you get 1st place right now, you’ll go solo.”

“Haha, of course not!”

It’s been a long time since a cartoonist has been so passionate about it, so as a person in charge, I can’t help but be happy.

“Oh, by the way, Mr. Keydo.”

“Why but?”

“I thought of you because you said that you and Sunny are brother-in-law, but strange rumors are circulating within the editorial department.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“A strange rumor? What but?”

“It is said that Samsara was mentioned at the executive meeting.”

“After all, those idiots recognized the talents of our Yunan and Sunny. They are also great brothers.”

As if that wasn’t the case at Kido’s words, the person in charge raised his hand and waved it.

“That’s not it. It is said that the managing director took issue with Samsara’s low popularity.”

“What nonsense is that! Is it because of the low popularity? Now that only a few episodes have come out, you’re making such a fuss!”

“Actually, the editorial department also had doubts about the popularity of the results, but they concluded that it was probably because it didn’t fit the magazine’s tendencies. then

They said that there was such a meeting in the executive boardroom, and that’s why the editor-in-chief was called. Of course, I don’t know the exact content because everything is in a relaxed atmosphere. Actually,

The editor-in-chief doesn’t even mention the matter at all.”

At that, Kido sharpened his teeth.

“Damn executives. Because those idiots are at the top. Magazines aren’t making progress. The fact that Sunny’s cartoons are amazing is that they step on the manga side.

It’s something that anyone would recognize.”

“Anyway, the atmosphere in the editorial department is not very good these days because of that.”

“It’s only natural for people who don’t have the ability to sit on high places and do it. After all, I need to take a look at those executives.”

As Kido rolled up his arms and rose from his seat, the editor in charge hurriedly stopped him.

“Hey, sir. Fix it. That will make me in trouble.”

“I sting those idiots myself.”

“Because I understand that feeling. Please, for my position and for the editorial department, not even for Sunny.”

“Great, right?”

After he barely calmed Kido’s sudden action, the officer in charge was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

End

“Sold out?”

“Yeah.”

“Is our magazine really sold out in 4 days of publication?”

“Yeah. That’s why we havetily turned the press and reprinted an additional 20,000 copies.”

“·················ogue.”

Staff in the editorial department of Weekly Shonen Hero were talking to each other about the incident when the magazine suddenly sold out.

It’s gotten a little better these days, but not so long ago, when about 110,000 copies were published, even these were not sold properly, so they were returned or discarded immediately.

It was also quite

But 110,000 copies are like the pride of the editorial department.

This is because there are many places where competing magazines do not exceed 100,000 copies, and 110,000 copies are in a position like a kind of maginot line from which they can never back down.

As a result, it has created numerous conflicts with the publishing house.

This was due to the problem of inventory handling costs as well as losses due to publication.

The 110,000 copies of Weekly Shonen Hero were sold out in 4 days.

I heard that some areas were sold out in two days.

“What’s going on? Is it because of Kido-sensei’s new work ‘The Man of the Heart’?”

“Ah, that’s not it. It’s true that the response is good these days, but even though a few episodes haven’t been released yet, does it make sense that the number of copies suddenly skyrocketed because of a new work?”

“Then what is the other reason? Please explain.”

“Don’t ask for nonsense. How do I know what the editor doesn’t know?”

At that time, a newcomer who was nearby came out.

“Isn’t it probably because of the anticipation for the new work?”

“A new work that hasn’t been released yet?”

“Yeah.”

“you. How long have you been working?”

“Yeah? Ah, a little over three months.”

“Hey, you’re saying that it doesn’t make sense in the circumstances even if a sincere man who has just started serializing is threatening to win first place, what? New one? What are you talking about, Pasien?”

“It’s Pasiencia.”

“Yes, Fasiencia. Anyway, do you think it makes sense to say that the sales volume goes up because of the manga that hasn’t even started serialization?”

“Maybe because of anticipation……”

“Hey!”

At the shouts of the senior editor, the newcomer rolls his eyes and sits quietly and crumples.

Then someone mumbled something.

“Isn’t it because of Samsara?”

A few people flinched slightly at those words, then changed to a hopeful expression.

“Hey, does that make sense?”

“Yes. To be honest, it’s a good manga, but the rankings aren’t zero. They say they just keep hovering around the top 10 these days. Everyone recognizes works like Akira, but

There is not enough appeal to people. It’s a bit strange that the number of copies suddenly goes up because of comics like that.”

It was then that everyone seemed to understand.

“Still, the three are very forgiving. If you see them staying on the same ranks.”

“Iknow, right. It didn’t match my personality with the magazine, so I thought I would be kicked out of the rankings soon.”

“Honestly, if it was a place like Jump, Samsara would have been more popular? If it’s that kind of content with the same quality.”

“It is a disappointing piece of work. Well, there were also people at the top saying that Samsara was negative.”

“That’s right, because the cost to the person in charge is not small.”

“Anyway, no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think it’s because of Samsara.”

“That would be it.”

In any case, it must have been encouraging that the magazine sold more.

At that time, because of this incident, the editor-in-chief was called to the vice president’s office.

“So, the editor-in-chief doesn’t know the exact circumstances?”

“Yeah. That’s right. If I had to say that a work that stands out is that of Kido-sensei’s sincere man, it is still unreasonable to think that it will have such a ripple effect.

“Does this happen by chance?”

“I haven’t yet. Because there are times when an unexpected piece of art appears.”

“Are you saying that an unexpected piece of art is getting attention?”

“Anyway, it’s a possibility. It may or may not be.”

“okay? Then we have to wait a little longer.”

“Yeah. That’s right.”

Saying that, the editor laughed awkwardly. The vice president, who saw it, supports his chin with his right arm.

“Well, how about Samsara? Have you not been completely pushed to the lower ranks?”

“It is not. For now, I’m stuck in the top 10. Another interesting thing is that the rankings fluctuate a lot, but Samsara is not.”

“okay? It’s a strange phenomenon.”

“Yeah. Perhaps we are creating a new fan base, but the exact details have not been confirmed.”

“is it······.”

The vice president was worried about the editor.

He always felt apologetic because he knew better than anyone that the managing director was going to hit the editor-in-chief because he was acquainted with him.

And the editor-in-chief knew that feeling well, so it’s hard for him to talk about Samsara.

“okay. Then that’s it though… Well, it’s a newcomer’s manga that will be serialized in a few days.”

“Oh, you mean Fasiencia?”

“okay. that. You’re hiding about that rookie, aren’t you?”

“······Sorry.”

The vice president stares at the editor-in-chief, leans back, leans back on the sofa, and nods his head as if he understands.

“Well, if you judged that way, there must be a reason. And that is a matter for you to judge for yourself. Anyway, I’m excited about the new manga.

The price is high.”

“···········?”

When the editor tilted his head with an unintelligible expression, the vice president grinned.

“I took a copy and read it myself. To be honest, I like soccer more than baseball. But this new one was a lot of fun. Adverb of Mitsuda Shoten

I don’t mean to say it as a chief, but honestly, I’m a fan of Captain Tsubasa.”

“I know.”

Saying that, I glanced at the bookshelf on the wall in the vice president’s office. All the Captain Tsubasa monographs published so far were well stocked there.

“okay. I was so firmly convinced that there wouldn’t be a football manga as great as Captain Tsubasa. The thought that that trust might be broken this time

did it Even in a magazine published by our company. It’s always been a pity in the corner of my heart that my favorite manga is a manga from another magazine.

last word. So this time, I have very high expectations.”

“Yeah. I am looking forward to it as well.”
