Gotta Go the Healing Route

Thinking of this, Kazama Xi stopped and said seriously, "Thank you, Sister Ziwan."

"You don't need to thank me, Mr. Xi, you can use it according to your own ideas. Leave the rest to me."

Uemura Aster waved her hand proudly.

"Actually, I told the editor-in-chief about this matter yesterday. The editor-in-chief has also agreed, so... you can relax now."

"You already talked to Uncle... the editor-in-chief?" Ziwan Uemura was stunned.

"En." Kazama Xi nodded. "Xiaozhi moves with emotion and reason. So don't worry about this anymore."

After talking about this matter, the two of them fell silent for a while, and walked slowly on the street.

"One more thing, after the painting of "Death Note", Xi-kun, what is your plan..." Aster Uemura asked cautiously.

Don’t just draw a manga when you’re young and leave the pen...

"Of course I will continue to draw manga." Seemingly seeing Aster Uemura's worry, Yuki Kazama said with a smile.

"But I might be self-willed, so please be considerate, Miss Ziwan..."

"capricious?"

Hearing what Yu Kazama said, Aster Uemura immediately realized that the subject matter of Yuri Kazama's next work might be a little unusual and not take the usual path.

"Thriller crime type?"

Recalling the style displayed by Yu Kazama's works, Aster Uemura guessed.

Thriller and crime works have always been at the bottom of many genres of works. If you choose this kind of work, it is very difficult to draw results.

However, Kazama Xi's style is very suitable.

If this is the case, Aster Uemura will fully support Yu Kazama.

"Do not...."

Yu Kazama smiled slightly, but after hearing what he said next, Aster Uemura couldn't laugh anymore.

"It's horse monkey shochu."

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

Horse monkey shochu...Magic girl.

Probingly asking Kazama Yuri if there is any work that will be serialized in the next part, but Aster Uemura never expected to get this answer.

"What you just said is...you want to draw magical girl comics?!!" The first feeling was that he had heard it wrong, and Aster Uemura couldn't help asking again.

No, no, no, it must be an illusion, why did Mr. Xi choose this subject...

Aster Uemura comforted herself in her heart.

But Kazama Xi's affirmative voice came from her ear, making her petrified on the spot.

"I've already thought of the name, the next manga will be called "Magic Girl Madoka Magica"."

Compared to Aster Uemura's astonishment, Xi Kazama was extremely indifferent, apparently well prepared.

In fact, Aster Uemura's reaction was also within his expectations.

This different time and space is similar to the previous life in many ways, and some elements of the previous life also exist here.

Like... the magical girl theme.

In this time and space, magical girls are still born in this island country.

Magic is a mysterious concept in the West. Women who can use magic in the West are often considered witches, witches, and an evil image.

The character of the old witch has always been a fixed villain in various western works.

But after this concept was introduced to Kana country 20 years ago, the combination of magic and gentle and lovely girls has become a positive image of using magic to solve troubles.

The magical girl has also become the most popular animated cartoon image among children.

After that, the theme of magical girls became active, and various works about magical girls emerged in endlessly.

However, so far, magical girl works still belong to the sub-genre category, and the audience is relatively limited, only young children like it.

It was not until ten years later that the manga "Magical Girl Ye Nai" created by Hidaka Kimiko-sensei was published, which broke the limitation of sub-commitment works.

The protagonist changed from a young girl of thirteen or fourteen to a beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen.It pioneered the elements of 'transformation' and 'love'.Girls can also transform into heroes to fight against evil forces. This interesting new idea makes it an alternative hero story.

This work is regarded as a classic even now, and it is one of the childhoods of countless people, including Aster Uemura.Uemura Aster was a loyal fan of this work back then.

I used to like magical girls very much, but that was also once.

When Aster Uemura learned from Yu Kazama that his next work would be about this subject, Aster Uemura's first reaction was 'it's over'.

"Magical Girl Ye Nai" was indeed considered to be superior to the crowd ten years ago, because the setting of the girl hero appeared for the first time at that time.

Breaking people's rigid thinking and novel settings are the main reasons for the success of this work.

After that, heroic magical girl-themed works were also released, but they never reached the height of "Magical Girl Ye Nai".

Because this setting is no longer novel.

The plot of heroic comics was rigid at the time, and the plot of fighting monsters was repeated again and again.When the setting is no longer novel, the only thing waiting for this theme is its decline.

That's right, magical girl manga has long since fallen.

The path of this theme has come to an end, and all the potential has been squeezed out.

This is also the unified view of the industry.

There are indeed comics about magical girls in the major comic publications nowadays, but those who are willing to draw this kind of comics are basically gnawing on the background accumulated by their predecessors, and the future and talent of comic authors are hopeless.Moreover, the selling point of this type of comics has directly changed from the magical girl itself to love.

It can be said that an author with a little bit of ambition would never touch this kind of subject matter.

Aster Uemura took a deep breath, trying to calm down her flustered mood.

"Kazama-kun, do you know the highest sales volume of the 'most popular' magical girl manga in recent years?"

Aster Uemura insists heavily on the word 'most popular'.

"You mean "Moonlight Magic", right?" Kazama Xi said lightly.

This is a work published three years ago. It tells a story about a series of events caused by a girl through magic and continues to grow into a story line.

It is a touching story of warmth and healing.

Aster Uemura was slightly taken aback, "You know?"

"Because my sister liked it when she was young, so I've heard of it too."

"Then you must not know what the highest cumulative sales volume of this magical girl manga is."

"It's 12."

"So miserable?" Hearing Aster Uemura, Yu Kazama raised her eyebrows.

Now "Death Note" starts printing 150 million pamphlets, and reprints are often carried out.

He never expected that the theme of magical girls in different time and space would be so miserable.You know, in the previous life, before Madoka turned out to be born, the theme of magical girls was considered a big IP.

From magical girls suddenly possessing magical powers, to transforming into battles, then to being cute and rouge, and then adding humanistic thinking to build a complete world view. "Guardian Sweetheart" and "Cardcaptor Sakura" are also popular classics.

But after a little thought, Kazama Xi was also relieved.This magical girl from another time and space is almost in a fairy tale situation.To put it simply, the theme of magical girls in this world has been stagnant and satisfying the fantasies of little girls, and has not continued to develop.

really shouldn't...

Sure enough, it's up to me to recast the glory of magical girls...

Uemura Ziwan didn't know what Kazama Xi was thinking at the moment, she just wanted to quickly persuade Kazama Xi to change her mind and not to take this wrong path.

"It's that miserable."

Uemura Aster nodded and said earnestly.

"You are a cartoonist with millions of sales, but you want to draw a theme with the highest sales of only [-] copies. You are no longer willful, you are courting death."

Kazama Xi nodded, but did not respond.It's still early and there's still time, he doesn't want to waste his time arguing with Aster Uemura here.

Seeing Yu Kazama nodding, she seemed to understand the importance of it, and Aster Uemura's nervous mood was relieved.

After explaining the disadvantages by himself and citing the data, Mr. Xi finally understood.

In fact, what she didn't know was that the more resistant she was, the more relaxed and confident Feng Jianxi would be.

The essence of that masterpiece in the early stage is deceit. The impression that the magic girl brought to the public in this different time and space is definitely the fertile soil for the birth of that masterpiece.

After talking about some problems at work, the two of them put their minds on shopping.With the help of Aster Uemura, after buying some special products and gifts, the two of them also embarked on the Shinkansen back to Kyoto together.

"Death Note" is not finished yet, and the focus of the current work is still on the present.

Chapter One Hundred and Nine

Manga has always been the mainstay of the cultural industry in Kana.

Although there are still some parents who regard comics as scourges and children's poison.But people's hearts are complicated, and it is obviously impossible to have only one voice.Kanna's social recognition of comics is extremely high globally.

As a work that only started serialization half a year ago, it can only be said to be a cutting-edge work. "Death Note" can be regarded as a miracle in the comics world.

With interesting settings and exciting plots, almost all readers who can read this comic have been captured.His grades have been rising steadily, and he has already demonstrated his ability to compete with those three old national comics.

Because of the wonderful plot designs of "Death Note" and the author's foreshadowing, the degree of discussion even surpassed the three major national comics.

As a gathering place for young manga audiences, boys can also hear boys discussing the schemes of the protagonist Yagamitsu or L in their spare time in school, and guess the next move of the two parties by the way.

But it is a pity that the links of the battle of wits are intertwined, and the purpose or behavior of the protagonist is often beyond the guesswork of this group of young readers.However, it can perfectly connect all kinds of foreshadowing, which makes readers surprised, but at the same time, they have to admire the author's design.

Excluding offline discussions, the popularity of discussion posts about "Death Note" on online forums has reached the top of the comics column.

Some self-proclaimed 'bloggers' posts about the follow-up plot often get a lot of clicks and replies.

"L actually knew Ye Shenyue's identity a long time ago."

"Before L said in front of Yagami's father that there was only a 5% chance that Yagami was Kira, in fact L was [-]% sure that Yagami was, but he didn't have physical evidence, so he He even personally went out to approach the moon."

"This is one of the things I like about L. Even if he has the answer in his heart, he will not draw conclusions and act. There is no wronged soul under his command. He is a principled and clean boy."

"In terms of character design, Teacher Yu Biechao has achieved the same superb level as his interlocking, rigorous and shocking plot design. In other words, the characters have been integrated into the whole story and become a part of the plot design."

"I said in the previous issue that although Ye Shenyue and L are two people, they represent two different systems. Holding the Death Note, Ye Shenyue represents personal justice and absolute rights. Then L represents justice for all, the personification of law.”
