God Descends the Second Element

　　 "咚咚—"

　 There was a knock on the door, interrupting what Iida Ayano was trying to say. Everyone knows that she has a habit of not being interrupted when reviewing works.

　　 Knock on the door at this time, there must be something important, Iida Ayano said to the door: "Please come in."

　　 "Senior Iida, it's almost time for the meeting..."

　　 The waiter Wang Hao saw just now came in. Hearing what she said, Iida Ayano woke up, picked up Wang Hao's manuscript, and left the office quickly, leaving only a lingering sound.

　　 "Who, please wait for me here first?"

　　 Don't be late, why did you almost forget that today is Monday, and the president has to come to the meeting in person!

　　 I didn't expect this editor-in-chief like a strong woman to have such a reckless side that he almost forgot the time for the meeting. It was really interesting.

　　...

　　 Weekly boy jump conference office, when Iida Ayano entered, everyone else was already in place. Although it was not time for the meeting, she was embarrassed to be late.

　　 "Since everyone is here, let's start the serial meeting of this issue."

　　 Shueisha Co., Ltd., one of the largest publishing houses of neon, the current president Marue Horiuchi sat in the middle and spoke lightly.

　　 There were only a dozen people in the entire conference room. They looked serious and knew the importance of this conference.

　　 Including the editor-in-chief, deputy editor-in-chief, and many senior editors, the president Marue Horiuchi personally presided over the meeting.

　　 This meeting will decide which comics will be cut in the future, as well as the serialization of new works. The cut works are determined based on the rankings of readers' surveys.

　　All they have to do is to find new works, find potential new comic artists, and inject new blood into Shueisha. This is very important. One carelessness will affect the reputation of Weekly Shonen Jump.

　　 Therefore, this meeting concerns everyone present, there must be no mistakes, and it must be taken seriously.

　　 "It's been a long time since I saw you all."

As the president of 　　Horiuchi Maruen, although his hair is a bit gray, he undoubtedly possesses high prestige in Shueisha, and everyone present stands up and bows when he speaks.

　　 "President Horiuchi!"

　　 "Sit down, everyone, the meeting will officially start next."

As he spoke, other talents slowly took their seats. Horiuchi Marue turned on the computer, and the projector behind it released a set of data. He continued heavily: "After reading these data, I believe everyone understands the current situation of Shueisha. If this continues, our position will change."

　　Horiuchi Marue stood up, pointed out a set of data with his finger, and said loudly: "Yes, the sales of Weekly Shonen Jump have been declining recently, while the other two have been steadily rising!"

　　 The editors who were present felt wrong from the beginning, because every Monday meeting was held by Marue Horiuchi for others to report, but this meeting was actually let the president personally investigate, and we can see the seriousness of the situation.

　　 "Everyone knows that it is not easy for us to have Shueisha today. When we became independent from Shogakukan, we received a lot of blows, but through the continuous efforts of many predecessors, we have achieved where we are today."

　　 His falcon-like eyes looked at everyone present, and all the people he watched straightened up immediately, and Horiuchi Marue's prestige came into play at this time.

　　 "So I don't want the crystallization of the predecessors to be destroyed in my hands, and I believe you don't want this to happen."

　　 This meeting is like a personal speech by Horiuchi Marue. At the moment when Shueisha’s life and death mattered, no one came out to refute him, and they all thought seriously.

　　 "I said this to let you understand the status quo. Next, I hope you can take the meeting seriously and report on the situation last week."

　　 The other editors all understand the meaning of what Horiuchi Marue said just now, in order to put more pressure on them and find a good new comic artist.

The reason why they are so anxious is not unreasonable, because the impact of "Reaper" on Shueisha is too great, so what they need now is not ordinary comics, but the same phenomenon-level comics as "Reaper" , Even beyond the comics of "Reaper"!

　　According to the current level of Shueisha as a cartoonist, it is difficult to have such a work, so I can only divert attention to find newcomers.

　　 They did not complain that Kubo took the person to "Reaper", because the other party had already made a lot of contributions to Shueisha and established the leading position of the manga industry.

　　 Moreover, Kubo Tai also clearly stated that new works will be serialized in Shueisha, but they may not have the potential to become a phenomenon-level manga.

　　 The Kubo era in the manga world is over, so Shueisha had to face a dilemma. Through the words of Marue Horiuchi just now, other editors knew that this issue obviously had to cut a few more manga.

Because the other two series of "Inuyasha" and "Fairy Tail" are gradually beginning to become popular, Shueisha, which does not have "Reaper", has obviously begun to decline. It's still much lower than when it was serialized in "Reaper".

　　 If you continue to eat jujube pills like this, you will have to hand in hand if you occupy the leading position of the global comics industry. This is undoubtedly a great shame!

　　 Matsumoto's editor-in-chief turned on his computer, replaced the content on the projector, and displayed six comics.

　　 "These six are the comics that are determined to be cut in half. They are finally decided after the supervision of various departments."

　　 Looking at the comics on the projector, the atmosphere in the conference room became a little heavier. The results of one or two books on it are not bad. Since it is determined to be cut in half, it should be the wishes of the cartoonist himself.

　　 "Who are the rookie cartoonists worth training?"

　　The most critical question of this meeting finally came. All the editors looked at each other. You look at me, I look at you, and then they all turned their eyes to the most junior Iida Ayano.

　　 "There are indeed two newcomer cartoonists worth training, but I am not sure about one of them."

Iida Ayano bit her scalp and said that she was the only one who took the pressure off at this time. She took out a manuscript from her body and handed it to Marue Horiuchi, then turned on her computer and passed the manuscript to the projector. on.

　　 When all the editors saw the content on the projector, they were shocked by the majestic style of painting. How could such a perfect thing be a comic? !

　　 is really perfect, there is no flaw in the details, the exquisite characters are almost indifferent, and the style is absolutely outstanding, and people can't fault it.

　　 The editors who have worked in the comics industry for many years are completely shocked. They have never seen a comic style that can reach such a point!

　　Ps: ask for tickets, ask for clicks, ask for collections~
