Comic cheating, dream-eating life

When Nan Siji and others rushed to the conference room, the room was almost full.

Hattori Tetsuya watched those people walking into the conference room in silence, clenching his fists.

"Is it finally here? Don't let me down, Acheng Mu Mengye, we must serialize it!"

Hattori Yujiro's heart was pounding nervously.

"If Fukuda-kun can also serialize, then I can be promoted to team leader one day! Serialization meeting? I want to attend too!"

At this moment, the cartoonists participating in the serialization meeting are all anxiously looking forward to the final result.

…

"There are 14 works in the pipeline, and only two or three can become new serials in the past." Koji Yoshida whispered in Minami Shiki's ear, introducing him to the situation.

"Yes, I understand." Nan Siji looked around the conference room without changing his expression.

There were editors he was familiar with and some unfamiliar editors.

First up is Editor-in-Chief Nao Sasaki.

Next are the two deputy editors-in-chief, Yoshihisa Bozo and Yahagi, a middle-aged man with a flat head wearing glasses.

When he noticed that Nan Siji was looking at him, he nodded in a friendly manner, then sorted out the manuscript paper in his hands, coughed slightly, and said.

"The December serialization meeting of Weekly Shonen Jumk will begin now. I, Yahagi, will preside over the meeting."

"There are 14 works in this series meeting, and we will discuss them in the order in which they were copied. The first is "Tank Top" by Orihara-sensei.

An editorial team leader named Nakano, who was unfamiliar to Minami Shiki, picked up the storyboard and said the words he had thought of. He looked at his colleagues, as well as Minami Shiki and Arizuma Eiji, and said word by word: "This is what our team has done." The work that Uchida is responsible for, the protagonist Yusaku Shindo who transfers to a prestigious high school in Tokyo..."

For each participating comic, the team leader in charge of editing will briefly introduce the plot and propose the advantages of the work so that the comic can be serialized.

"Ultraman Tiga" of Southern Shiki was the result of a debate between Yoshida and other editors.

Of course, you have to be strong in order to forge the iron. Every team leader can see the pros and cons of the work. Uninteresting works will not pass the serialization meeting no matter what.

After editing Nakano finished, deputy editor-in-chief Yahagi followed up and said: "Then please give your opinions on this work."

Since he had read all the participating works before, Yoshida Koji held his chin and expressed his feelings directly: "The previous work was quite popular, but considering the readers' expectations, it was a little lacking."

Nakano defended: "However, the style of the work has changed. I feel that the completion level is not bad."

The deputy editor-in-chief, Yoshihisa Azame, looked at the storyboard and said calmly: "It's not bad, but I always feel that it lacks Orihara-sensei's consistent bold style."

Looking at the two cartoonists who remained silent, Sasaki asked: "Do you two have any opinions?"

"Me?" Niizuma Eiji pointed at himself and looked at the comic with a smile: "It's quite interesting, but it doesn't feel like it reaches the threshold of serialization.

Nan Siji said: "Well, it's not attractive enough for me to read on."

Sasaki nodded, and his expression could not be clearly seen through the reflective glasses: "Eliminate it, and we will discuss it after revision."

…

After several rounds, Nan Siji simply put forward his opinion.

However, there are no included works.

Even if it goes to the serialization meeting, the chances of passing it are slim.

In this environment, Eiji, the usually playful and noisy new wife, turned out to be rare and serious.

“Next, it’s ‘hideout out’.” Yahagi said.

This was a cartoon by Kurenai Aoki and Nakai, and Nan Shiki couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Aang Shuhong’s editor, Aang Tian, ​​looked at the storyboard of "Hideout Door" with a serious expression and said: "This is my responsibility, and it has been affirmed by the readers of the Golden Future Cup. Although the original author Cang Shuhong is a junior, she is in the girls' magazine I have published short stories on the Internet, and I am very good at using storyboards to draw original works.”

"I believe everyone knows that Nakai is the artist. He is a veteran with 12 years of experience and has served as an assistant to many teachers. He can be said to be a veteran who supports JUMK behind the scenes."

Nakano sighed: "It is true that Miss Aoki's world view is perfectly displayed through Nakai's paintings."

Koji Yoshida said: “Even if we don’t win the Golden Mirai Cup, the result is pretty good.”

Eiji Shinzuma looked very happy with a blush on his face: "Looking at Mr. Kuraki's works is like taking a bath in a hot spring. It's warm and comfortable."

Minami Four Seasons Interface: "Mr. Nakai's painting skills are truly amazing. His paintings are a visual feast, which is very enjoyable."

Ping Yoshijiu said hesitantly: "But the three works of the Golden Future Cup have all entered the serialization meeting, and they need to be adjusted with other works..."

Sasaki made the final decision: "There are no fantasy works of this level on JUMK, so let's include them."

"Thank you." Aida said calmly and calmly. But in private he clenched his fists.

"Oh! That's great!" Eiji Shinzuma cheered!

Sasaki looked at him, adjusted his glasses, and flashed a white light: "Please be quiet."

"I'm sorry." The new wife wilted and whispered to Nan Siji, "It's so scary, editor-in-chief."

After one work ended, Yahagi continued to host the meeting: "Then, the next work is "KIRAKIRA"..."

…

"Not adopted."

"The next work is "KIYOSHI KNIGHTS", written by Shinta Fukuda."

Koji Yoshida picked up the storyboard. He was Yujiro Hattori’s team leader.

"It received a lot of votes from boys in the Golden Future Cup. I think it is a work that fits the style of Shonen Jumk. At 20, Fukuda Shinta is close to the age of the readers. I believe that after serialization, he will be able to create more resonant characters."

After he finished, Aida questioned, "It is indeed interesting, but it may only be interesting as a short story. In fact, it is the same pattern until the third episode."

Yoshida Koji was not in a hurry: "This is deliberately drawing using a method that is recognized by readers."

Minami Shiki listened carefully. These were comments from professionals. As a cartoonist, he benefited a lot.

Hearing this, he interrupted and said, "It's the first place in the Golden Future Cup, and the work is also quite impressive, with distinct characters. Regardless of the future situation, I think it can be included."

Sasaki nodded: "Anyway, let's include it first."

...

"Include it."

A new comic was also included, and Yahagi was surprised: "Editor-in-chief, I have read 7 articles and 4 have been included."

Sasaki was amazing: "No matter how many, interesting comics will be included."

Yahagi couldn't help but panic and stuttered: "Next... The next one is "Sea Otter No. 11", written by Hiramaru Kazuya."

...

"Is the serialization meeting not over yet?" Takagi Akito lay on the sofa, restless: "Two hours have passed, according to common sense, it should be over, right?"

Shinjin Masahiro walked around, looking at the clock from time to time, not in the mood to talk, and shook his head.

Aoshu Hong poured a cup of black tea and calmed down.

Nakai drew a comic: "Only by doing this can I calm down."

As for Hiramaru Kazuya, his mood was very complicated, and he didn't know whether to pass it or not.
