Hong Kong Comic Master

Nowadays, "Dragon Ball" is so popular in Neon. It's hard to describe, but almost every Neon student knows the name of Sun Wukong and knows that there is something called Dragon Ball. As long as you collect seven of them, you can summon a dragon and you can make a wish. .

Not only that, this year's "Dragon Ball" animated film alone sold more than 800 million yen at the box office in Neon, which is enough to prove that "Dragon Ball" is even more popular in Neon than in Hong Kong Island!

Therefore, Sawajiri didn't believe that "Naruto" could surpass "Dragon Ball" in the future, as Eiko Koshi said!

"Of course, at present, I also think that it is difficult for "Naruto" to surpass "Dragon Ball", but I think "Naruto" will still develop to the same level of comics as "Dragon Ball"! You have to know that at present, "Naruto" It’s only been 30 episodes. I don’t think it was as good as “Naruto” when “Dragon Ball” was 30 episodes ago.”

"The two are different!"

"I understand what you mean, one is popular slowly and the other is popular quickly, but "Naruto" has not even been animated yet! If this manga is also made into an animation, its popularity will definitely skyrocket by several levels!"

Sawajiri completely agrees with this statement about ancient farming history.

Not to mention "Naruto", even "Dragon Ball Z", he now wants to see the animation as soon as possible!

"Has DreamWorks still not decided to animate "Naruto" and "Dragon Ball Z"?"

Thinking of this, Sawajiri Shi couldn't help but ask.

"No, even though I send letters from readers urging animation to DreamWorks every month, they still reject it because there are too few comic serial chapters!"

Moving to ancient farming history also expressed regret.

"Hey, yes, the current serialization of "Naruto" is still lacking!"

"Okay, Sawajiri Shi, actually I was just chatting with you. The reason why I talked so much to you is mainly because there is something I am not sure about, and I want to ask for your opinion!"

As Qiangu Gengshi said, his real purpose was not to let Sawajiri read Li Wannian's works.

What’s so interesting about his work? Anyway, their editorial department can’t change it, so just publish it normally!

It can be said that from Li Wannian, they did not experience the joy of editing at all!

It is precisely because of this that Qiangu Gengshi wanted to test Sawajiri's ability. After all, Li Wannian's editor is the easiest editor in the world.

Eiko Koshi picked up another document bag from the table and handed it to Sawajiri Shi.

Sawajiri took the file bag curiously, and after opening it, he found another comic manuscript.

""Forced Armor"? Is this a new comic?"

"Yes, I'm a little unsure. Do you think this comic is qualified for serialization?"

Nowadays, as the sales of "Weekly Shonen Century" are getting higher and higher, many young cartoonists will submit their comics to the editorial department of "Weekly Shonen Century".

Among the large number of manuscripts that are mixed with mud and sand, there are naturally some good works, such as the comic in front of me.

The entire comic is a science fiction comic. The "Forced Armor" the story tells is a super-organism weapon left behind by aliens who came to the earth tens of thousands of years ago.

Ordinary high school student Akira Fukamachi accidentally obtained Kabbah, while his classmate Makishima Gaito obtained another set, and therefore became the target of sniper attacks by the secret organization Kenos.

To be honest, this kind of mecha science fiction comics is a very popular comic type in Neon, and many classic comics and animations have appeared. Even if "Gundam" was copied by Li Wannian, Neon still has "Universe" Battleship Yamato", "Macross", "Iron Man" and so on.

The comic in front of him only had one drawing. Sawajiri read it quickly and finished the entire comic soon.

After reading it, Sawajiri Shi raised his head and said: "This comic is well drawn. The setting of the world view, the characterization of the characters, and the contradictory settings are all very good. Who is the author?"

"A young man named Takaya Yoshiki is only 24 years old this year!"

"That's really young!"

Hearing that he was only 24 years old, Sawajiri couldn't help but sigh with emotion, but then he thought that Li Wannian seemed to be only 22 years old this year, and he immediately took back his emotion!

At the same time, I thought to myself: Sure enough, nothing can be compared with that monster, it is so terrifying!

"He is very young, but this is also his second comic. The first comic was "Pluto Project Thunder Horse" serialized in the "Lemon Curd" comic magazine!"

"Lemon Curd? Is that a comic magazine with a bit of an adult style?"

Hearing this comic magazine, Sawajiri Shi showed a strange expression.

In the neon of the 1980s, comic magazines have developed to a quite mature level. There are not only shounen comics, girl comics, young adult comics, but of course there are also some adult comics for adults to watch!

As for this "Lemon Curd" comic magazine, although it is not a complete one, it still has some color, which is considered a side effect.

However, although this kind of cartoon drawing can make money quickly and has a low threshold, it also has a low status. It can be said that in the neon animation industry, this kind of cartoon is at the bottom of the contempt chain.

"Yes, it is precisely for this reason that I am confused about whether this comic can be serialized or not!"

Hearing what Eiko Koshi said, Sawajiri finally understood why the other party was struggling. It turned out that it was not because of the comics, but because of the cartoonist!

"If it's just because of this, then I think there's no problem! You can sign him!"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because readers read comics, not comic artists!"

Sawajiri Shi's answer was quite convincing.

"What if we really spend resources and let him start serializing, but he can't grasp the plot and starts doing these things?"

Kigu Kofumi still seemed to have some doubts.

"Then find him an experienced editor who can correct his mistakes as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Kiguko Kofumi actually showed a more distressed look and said: "How can it be so easy? You don't know that what our magazine lacks most at present is experienced editors!"

"Then let me do it! You hand him over to me, I will definitely make him not draw randomly!"

As soon as this was said, Kiguko Kofumi instantly showed a bright smile and said: "Really? It's a deal!!"

"This... Of course there is no problem!"

Until now, Sawajiri Shi finally figured it out. Did the other party do it on purpose?

Just as Sawajiri Fumi expected, the reason why Kenko Koji said so much was to let Kenko Koji be the editor of Takaya Yoshiki.

After all, although Sawajiri Fumi is not very old now, he is experienced and has a good understanding of comics, which makes him the most suitable editor for young people.

"With such an excellent editor like you, I will leave Takaya Yoshiki to you with confidence!"

Looking at Kenko Koji's brilliant smile, Sawajiri Fumi knew that the other party was inviting him into a trap, but he finally agreed!

After all, this young man is indeed a talented person!
