2d Empire

But that is now their main problem as editors.

And as the president of Shueisha Marue Horiuchi asked this question, he obviously knows that among the comics serialized now, there is no comic that can compete with "Reaper". .

In this era, Japanese flesh and blood were rampant, full of the rage of the times.The aesthetics of manga fans have become numb, and coupled with the routines of manga and light novels, basically a book of meat manga is just changing the soup without changing the medicine. There are too few works like "Reaper".

Of course, "Inuyasha" and "Fairy Tail", which have become popular recently, are eye-catching.

So Horiuchi Marue is a little impatient now.

However, when this question came out, all the editors were silent.

Seeing this, Horiuchi Marue knew that this meant that there was no new work comparable to "Bleach".

This is also normal, as a new work, it is impossible to update too much.

At the beginning, although the quality of "Reaper" was also very high, no one thought that "Reaper" would be so popular.

It is obviously impossible to see the plot of a manga becoming popular at the beginning, and it is impossible to be just an editor if you have that kind of vision.

And a comic, the plot hasn't even begun to unfold at the beginning, how can it be possible to see that it can become a big hit?It's so impractical.

"Is there any newcomers worth cultivating?"

This time the editors were not indifferent anymore, and they all looked at Ayano Iida, this mature-looking woman.

Seeing this, Iida Ayano was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help being stunned, and then smiled wryly, a series of expressions made people laugh.

Even the president Horiuchi Marue softened his expression when he saw this scene.

At this time, Iida Ayano couldn't help but bite the bullet and said: "Actually, I don't know if that one is really worth cultivating!"

"How?" Horiuchi Marue asked with interest.The editor-in-chief Yamazaki Liang is also full of interest.

Unless the cartoonist under the editor's name is a well-known cartoonist, the editor-in-chief will not ask, otherwise he will be too busy.

"I don't know if the president knows Shiina Mashiro?"

This rhetorical question made the editors sweat for Ayano Iida. As I said before, the hierarchy in Japan is very strict. For example, if the president asks you a question now, you can just answer it honestly and in detail. As a subordinate and editor, this is not desirable.

However, Horiuchi Marue didn't care, but fell into deep thought.

Shiina Mashiro, as soon as the name came to my ears, a familiar feeling came to my face.

The next moment, Horiuchi Marue frowned, her heart trembled, suppressed the shock in her heart, looked calmly at Iida Ayano and asked, "Shiina Mashiro...that world-class genius painter?"

"That's right, it's the other party." Ayano Iida nodded and said, "This world-genius painter has submitted our newcomer award before!"

The Newcomer Award, also known as the 'JUMP Next Generation Manga Award', is an award jointly launched by Shueisha's "JumpLive" of "Weekly Shonen Jump" and "Neighbor YoungJump" of "Weekly Youngjump".

(JumpLive and YuongJump are equivalent to two online platforms.)

It is called the Newcomer Award by Japanese ACG circles.

Horiuchi Marue is naturally clear about the awards under her banner, and she couldn't help but look forward to hearing this.

However, at the next moment, Ayano Iida shook his head and said, "But this world-genius painter was eliminated by us."

Horiuchi Marue frowned slightly. Since he was eliminated, Iida Ayano should not have so much nonsense with him. After all, the charge of teasing the president can make him dismiss the other party directly.

"President, wait." At this time, Iida Ayano got up, and then left the conference room with the consent of the president and editor-in-chief.

After a minute or two, Iida Ayano brought a laptop, opened the email, and handed the computer to Horiuchi Marue.

Submissions for the Newcomer Awards are basically done online, so submissions are also online email submissions.

And when Horiuchi Marue looked at the manga on the computer, he couldn't help but look surprised.

What he saw was not a beautiful woman, but a caricature.But speaking of comics, this painting style is a bit too elegant.

That's right, this idiom of Huaxia appeared in his mind for a moment.

Only exquisite, perfect, and peerless elegance can describe the style of painting he saw.

Whether it is the background, characters, costumes and some small details, they are all perfect.But the next moment he frowned.

This style of painting is indeed surprising and shocking, and gorgeous words can't describe the style of painting he saw.

But if it is too perfect, it will give people an unreal feeling.

The most important thing is that this is a comic. Although the first thing people see in a comic is the author's style of painting, when something is truly perfect, it is a fatal flaw.

Everything looks perfect, so who is the master?What is the use of perfect painting style if the priority is not clear?

Most importantly, comics are also works that authors use to tell stories.

Although the painting style is important, the storyline, world background, and setting also need to keep up with the painting style. The so-called painting style must also fit the comics.

So next Horiuchi Marue started watching the storyline.

However, when he finished reading it, he couldn't help but look shocked, and even revealed a deep speechlessness in his eyes.

The story of this manga is very simple.

To put it simply, childhood sweethearts fall in love, and then a male rival appears, very simple girl manga.As a result, after looking at it, Horiuchi Marue found that the male rival in the supporting role was gone?

Inexplicably, the supporting actor disappeared without even an explanation from the author?Even a pet dog that was confessed before disappeared.

Although it is just a pet, the comics pay attention to the details.
