Gotta Go the Healing Route

"You boy.... When the staff calls, remember to change your pen name to me!"

What does the pseudonym 'I want to be a warrior of love' mean?

You want to make me the root of all evil, right?

Kazama Xi is now regretful. When Nishikawa Yusuke and Matsunaga Jing left the studio, he should have told them what Bodhi Patriarch said to the monkey.

"Why..."

On the other end of the phone, Nishikawa Yusuke was very puzzled.

"Since studying in Kazama-sensei's studio, I have really been deeply touched by your creative ideas..."

However, after saying these words, Nishikawa Yusuke realized that the phone had become busy.

Kazama Yuki, who was outside the Shueisha headquarters, had already hung up the phone.He was too lazy to waste any more words with Yusuke Nishikawa.

Looking at the phone in his hand, Kazama Xi was speechless for a while.

"Really, when will I be able to calm down..."

but...

Kazama Xi looked up at the blue sky in the distance.

The matter of the Newcomer Award has now come to an end, and as expected, these trivial matters have come to an end, and the next thing is to do the right thing with peace of mind.

In the second half of the year, Kazama Xi should be quite busy.

At the end of June, "Attack on Titan" can be serialized.And, "Yue Ji" type month IP production side of things.

If everything goes well, by the time I graduate from high school next year, I can take some big steps forward.

Chapter 290 Nine Encyclopedia Entries

At the end of June, the results of the Newcomer Award had been announced, and it attracted the attention of many assistants and newcomers who had half a foot in the comics industry.

However, compared to this reward, more ordinary readers still pay attention to jump's comics and the upcoming new serialized comics.

Also at the end of the month, "Attack on Titan" passed the serialization meeting of the new work without any surprise.

Along with the work of Fengjianxi, there is also a new work called "Legend of Branding" co-authored by Aki Aki and Zhicheng.

One week before the official serialization, Yuki Kazama had already returned to the studio and started working on the manga with his brand-new assistant team.On the other side, the jump editorial department started the early serial promotion.

It is a tradition to promote the new works of the mainstay authors. Not only Feng Jianxi can enjoy this kind of benefits, but also Wu Shanyun and other famous old authors.

However, the contracted writer of Shueisha who enjoys the most benefits is Kazama Yuki.

As for why, it's not that Xi Kazama, who opened the cheating cheat, is a well-known prolific manga artist in this world, and is known for his medium-length novels.

Shueisha's publicity resources, Kazama Yubai use white and not.

Moreover, this time "Attack on Titan" is considered a long work. In the previous life, it took three years to complete.Because of Goldfinger, the update speed of Kazama Xi must be faster, but it is obviously impossible to finish it in less than a year like the previous works.

In fact, the work of Aki Aki and Zhicheng is also eligible to use Shueisha's promotional resources.

The two of them can be regarded as old authors with experience in serialization, and the reputation of that new work at the serialization conference is also very good, and many editors are very optimistic about this work.

But in order to avoid the dispersal of publicity resources, Zhicheng and Zhenren could only make way for Feng Jianxi.

There is also a small episode in this. Regarding the new works of Zhicheng Zhenzhen and Aki Aki, the editor-in-chief Atsushi Itakura also suggested that the two should continue to serialize next month.That way, Shueisha can also promote their new works.

But this proposal was rejected by the two on the spot. First of all, the two had been silent for too long, and it was really unbearable to wait.

Secondly, the two of them were also full of expectations, or they were staring at Tong Feng Jian Xi's new work to be serialized together.The meaning is self-evident.

After hearing the news from Aster Uemura, Yu Kazama also smiled.

He is not afraid of challenges, or rather, is looking forward to challenges.

..........

Shueisha's pre-publicity work on "Attack on Titan" went smoothly.

It has to be said that after the accumulation of the previous comics, the popularity of the pseudonym Yubiechao has become very high. It is not an exaggeration to say that Kazama Xi is already a celebrity.

With the development of the Internet, interactive network information databases similar to Wikipedia and Baidu Encyclopedia have also appeared in this world.

Kazama Xi, who has already had so many works, has naturally been created by enthusiastic fans.

However, the encyclopedia entries on Kazama Xi's side are quite outrageous.

The date of birth and death is unknown, the real name is unknown, and there are no photos of the real person.

The picture used as a substitute for the character image in the entry is Kazama Xi, who has been using it together with the pseudonym, with red eyes, the head portrait of a magic pet that looks cute at first glance.

It only took a year for this magic pet avatar to go from being unknown to being notorious now.

Although the real photos of Xi Kazama cannot be obtained, it makes the fans who created the entry feel quite a pity.However, more fans think that this Chubby head portrait is very suitable as the image picture of Kazama Xi's entry.

Character labels are even more outrageous, except for the more serious ones: newcomer bounty winners, manga artists signed by Shueisha, and clichés like "warrior of love" and "just middle-aged man with a broken leg" Labels are also placed on top.

Of course, creating this kind of label is accompanied by the relevant experience of the character.Therefore, the speculations about Yu Biechao's true identity on the Internet were also put on it.

Kazama Xi knew about this at the time, and felt quite speechless when she saw her encyclopedia headlines on the Internet.

Still, it at least proves that his popularity is definitely online.

When the Shueisha manga was promoted in the early stage, there was only one color picture with a little story outline.So many people started to discuss this new comic.

Especially some of the labels disclosed by Shueisha, such as 'long story', such as 'kingly way'.

The former is okay. After all, those manga artists who are as famous as Kazama Xi basically have long stories. Kazama Xi is known for her changing styles and constantly challenges new genres.

The key is the latter...

'King way'.

Yu Biechao's second kingly work.

What was the last kingly work?

It's The Chainsaw Man.

Taking this as a lesson from the past, the association of the name Yubiechao with "Wangdao" always reveals a strange meaning.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"The Chainsaw Man" is indeed an undisputed kingly work.

Although this work has been subject to 'controversy' since its birth.

But the elements of Wang Dao comics, "Chain Saw Man" are indeed all gathered:

The first is to focus on combat elements, and the comics must contain a large number of combat clips.This chainsaw man is up to the standard, even exceeding the standard.The battle scenes even have a faint sense of violent aesthetics, which is absolutely hearty and enjoyable to watch.

The second is to take the growth of the teenager as the main line, and finally reflect the growth of the protagonist of the teenager.There is no problem with this, after going through so many things, Denji has indeed grown.And it has grown a lot.

Then there must be a deep enough friendship bond, and there must be a group of protagonists who grow up with the protagonist.

this...

Emmm, although most of the protagonist group failed to accompany the movie to the end, they did accompany the protagonist's growth, so there is no major problem.

Then there is the setting and the villain. The setting must have a complete system, and the villain will continue to appear from weak to strong.This is fine too.

As long as these are achieved, then this comic is definitely a formula-level kingly comic.

Even so, most people do not recognize the kingly attributes of Chainsaw Man, and some people even think that "Chain Saw Man" is actually an evil comic.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that the Chainsaw Man is an evil way or a kingly way. It should be said that "The Chainsaw Man" is an "evil kingly way".

To some extent, this kind of "evil king's way" can be regarded as the first of its kind in this different time and space.

In fact, this should also be a trend in the development of comics, and the element of "kingdom" will become more and more complicated.

Let's not talk about this different time and space, at least that's how the manga market in Kazama Xi's previous life showed.

Before Kazama Xi crossed, only One Piece was still serialized in the sea of ​​dead flames. Under this background, the four pillar works of jump in 2020 were announced.They are "Demon Slayer: Blade", "Stone Era", "The Promised Neverland", and "We Can't Learn Together".

Among them, there is only one "Ghost Slayer: Blade" that is truly kingly.

Compared with the kingly works of the predecessors, except for the spread of universal concepts and the creation of friendship and family ties, the real difference in "Ghost Slayer: Blade" is that it puts a layer of real cloak on the battle story, That is, a person will die if he is killed.

The story of Ghost Slayer does not forget to reflect the real sense of battle in the process of warmth. Outside the protagonist group, it seems that no important character will not die.

In the same way, after the end of Ghost Slayer, it is even more so in the new kingly work "Curse Return" that replaced it.

If we say that "Demon Slayer: Blade" is still a popular work, with a wide audience, and even female readers like this comic, then "Spell Return" is the complete opposite, a very suitable for all ages Anime.

On the surface, jump is kingly and passionate, the hero is kind and impulsive, justice incarnate, and the hero is indifferent and high IQ, it seems to be a combination of mindless and unhappy.

But is it really so?

The core of spell combat is very dark and deep.The villain is cruel and anti-human to a certain level, and the decent is not pure justice.Moreover, it contains thoughts about human nature, trade-offs, life and death, ruthless mockery of social animals, and tumbling and struggling in the dark world.

Gradually, this kind of kingly way is no longer purely passionate and righteous, but mixed with some reality and gloomy conditions. The reason for its formation comes from the deviation of the audience.

Youth gradually replaced juveniles as the main body of manga reading.

In Kazama Xi's previous life, although Jump was nominally a juvenile manga publication, the type of manga on it gradually changed from shonen manga to youth manga.

As for this different time and space, although I don't know what will happen in the future, Kazama Xi feels that this development track will not be too bad.

As Wen Chaogong who came from time travel, Kazama Xi's vision is a little further behind than the readers.In other words, creators and readers are different, and they have to look farther.

As readers, they don't think so. This is the first time they have seen such evil kingly ways.

Just like someone who is eating crabs for the first time, seeing a crab with a full body of shells before moving its mouth, it is inevitable to be cautious and mixed with excitement.

After eating it in the mouth... Those who are suitable for brain waves will be regarded as masterpieces, but those who are not suitable for brain waves will be assimilated by spirits and fall into the carnival of group psychosis if they do not exit halfway.

Of course, not all such evil and kingly mixed works are like this, simply because "The Chainsaw Man" is too evil.

Even in Kazama Xi's previous life with advanced concepts and strong receptivity, "Chain Saw Man" can be regarded as an advanced work of art for human beings.

This is nothing to Feng Jianxi. A masterpiece is not achieved at one stroke. Creation is originally a process of crossing the river by feeling the stones. The authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear. When you are in the position of the author of the work, you will never get the most real feedback. , even if Kazama Xi is Wen Chao's work, this is also the case.

Still, the Chainsaw Man was a success, and from a business point of view it was.

If you want to say which point this work relies on to succeed, the original author Fujimoto may not be able to tell.

It may be said that human beings, as rational creatures, have another side of neurosis in their bones, and readers can just use the chainsaw man to release their own repressed nature.This may be the reason.
