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 the 'jumplive' of Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump" and the "Nipangyoungjump" of "Weekly Youngjump".

(jumplive and yuongjump are equivalent to two online platforms.)

It is called the Newcomer Award by the Japanese acg circle.

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.

Unlike novels, which allow readers to imagine for themselves, comics are a way of expressing novels or storylines on paper, so some small details are extremely important.

So even if it is a pet, it must be confessed.Even pets can move events forward.

And this situation made Horiuchi Marue frowned.

He knew why Ayano Iida had questioned just now, and he didn't know whether Shiina Mashiro's value was worth cultivating, because it was too difficult to choose.

First of all, there is the issue of painting style. As long as Shiina Mashiro understands and incorporates some shortcomings, then this magnificent painting style will definitely shock the manga world.

That's right, let Shiina Mashiro's painting style show shortcomings, that is, the painting is not good enough.

As a cartoonist, everyone hopes that their painting style is perfect, but when they really see perfection, Horiuchi Marue knows that too perfect is the biggest shortcoming after all.

The most important thing is Shiina Mashiro's title as a world-class talented painter. He even opened his own art exhibition and took a photo with the British Prime Minister. His international status is very high.

Such a person who gets involved in the Japanese manga industry will definitely cause a sensation. At that time, Shueisha will operate a little bit, and it will definitely make Shiina Mashiro famous.

Of course, comics still rely on strength to win after all, and the momentary fame may fall even deeper in time.

If it was in the past, even if Shiina Mashiro was a world-class talented painter Horiuchi Marue, he wouldn't care.

But in this situation, the animated version of "Reaper" is about to be cut in half, and he needs the injection of fresh blood.

And this blood needs to be able to completely save or stabilize "Weekly Shonen Jump".

"This Shiina Mashiro, you can focus on cultivating it. If the other party can get rid of the shortcoming of not being able to tell stories."

After thinking about it for a while, Horiuchi Marue said.
