Zongman: Why are all your comics full of knives?

Hikaru Nohara is an ordinary office worker.

On this day, as usual, dragging my tired body off work.

The only thing that made him happy today was that his boss, who was as fat as a pig, did not continue to ask for overtime.

It's rare to get off the morning shift, and as a single dog, he doesn't know how to spend this rare time.

"It's ugly. "

In the past, although it was common to get off work after 9 o'clock in the evening, there were still colleagues who worked overtime at that time.

You can go to the izakaya together for a small gathering and have a few drinks.

Vent your frustrations at work.

It's not even 5 o'clock yet, and the izakaya is still being prepared.

At this time, the discussion of the three teenagers who walked by together attracted his attention.

"It's a teacher!

"It's not in vain that I spent money to buy a collection!"

"It would be nice if the content could be a little better. "

"No drama, no drama, a newcomer who has never heard of it at all, what good things can he write?"

“......"

As the teenagers walked away, the voices gradually faded away.

"Light novel?"

Hikaru Nohara looked thoughtfully at the distant backs of the teenagers.

Then he sighed: "That's good." "

To be able to discuss these works like this.

Thinking back to his time, even if he was interested in these things,

It can only be watched quietly by one person.

Discussing something like this with friends on the street only exists in the imagination.

"Speaking of which, I don't have time to read after work. "

Thinking of this, Nobaare walked towards a nearby bookstore.

For those three- and four-volume works that he had never heard of, Hikaru Nohara was not interested.

Don't look at the previous work and watch the later work directly?

What's the point of that.

So he also came directly to the new work section specially divided by the bookstore.

Soon.

A work caught his eye.

It's not the name of this work, but the delicate picture on the cover with clear colors of "eight and seven".

It was a more mature-looking man, wearing a military uniform similar to that of a German style, giving him a tough feeling.

But the black eyes looked dull and dull, making the original tough temperament look a little more gloomy.

The female protagonist standing next to the male protagonist is also very brilliant.

Wearing a wide cloak, it resembles a combination of the two figures of the leprechaun and the mysterious traveler in European legends.

The eyes are big and bright, the temperament is weak and strong, and the delicate face is a little nervous and uneasy.

makes people subconsciously can't help but want to explore what kind of story there is between these two people.

"What are you doing at the end of the world?Is there any time?Can you come to the rescue?", now the names of these light novels are getting longer and longer!"

Thinking back to the time when I read light novels,

It's not that long!

Despite this emotion, Hikaru Nohara still took an unsealed version for the reader's experience from the heart to his hand.

"A story that happened in the apocalypse?"

With this in mind, the first page was turned to the page.

The "beast" destroyed humanity.

William, a young man who has awakened from hundreds of years of slumber, has become the only remaining human being.

The various races that survive in the sky continue to use the strength and technology of human beings, relying on the power of the "Holy Sword" to fight against the fairy soldiers and "beasts" who use the Holy Sword!

After the battle, the elven soldiers who have used their best strength will fall, but the "Holy Sword" can be used again.

"At the very least, I wish I didn't disappear and I wanted to be remembered. I want to leave a bond behind, too. "

This is a short and brilliant day spent by the fairy girls who are destined to die and the young instructors.

Looking at the brief on the book cover, Hikaru Nohara felt a slight tingling in his heart.

"Doomsday......"

If it was just because of these two words at the beginning, I had an inexplicable melancholy,

Now there is a feeling of being slightly moved and hurting.

I really feel the heaviness that these two words represent.

Obviously, the word is so illusory, and it is so far away from him.

But for some reason, I always want to experience the beauty of "short and brilliant days".

Turning the pages of the book, a sad atmosphere greets you.

It also made Hikaru Nohara more sure what kind of ending the book would eventually usher in.

But.

"It is precisely because it is destined to wither that this kind of beauty before withering will make people miss it so much, and they want to reach out and grab it desperately!"

After reading more than 10 pages, Hikaru Nohara determined that this was the story he wanted to see.

Closing the book, putting it back on the shelf, and pulling out the well-packaged, brand new one.

Come to the counter.

"Hello, check out. "

For him, who had already joined the work, the cost of a few hundred yen was not worth mentioning.

When I was young, I might have struggled with it for a long time, but not now.

Holding a book in his hand, Hikaru Nohara felt like he had returned to the happiest time of his youth.

Now he just wants to go home quickly and finish reading this work.

Overnight, following the perspective of the protagonist "William", I saw the human beings who were being destroyed by the "beast".

This world that exists hundreds of years later.

The tribes who have completely lost the earth can only live on islands floating in the sky, and even this does not mean that they are completely safe.

Because the "beasts" of the earth still threaten them on the island.

In addition, there are various other bizarre races, "salvage teams" that go to the land to search for the ruins of civilization, and goblins who use holy swords to fight "beasts......

All these things perfectly satisfied his fantasy of this world, so that he couldn't help but be amazed.

At the same time, what made Hikaru Nohara even more emotional was the description of William in the article.

At the moment when civilization and race have been extinct, it should be extremely desperate, but he is still alive, but he can really feel everything in front of him, they are so vivid and bright,

This kind of conflict of opposites makes people feel a kind of irrepressible sadness.

He is an outsider, and there is no past outsider.

Everything here has nothing to do with him, there are no people he loves, nothing that makes him obsessed, and even memories of his homeland are nowhere to be found.

It's just that the experience of those battles has shaped William's calm thinking now,

This kind of calmness is like a volcano imprisoned by the deep sea, and the anger and sadness in the heart have nowhere to vent, so that the reader can have a deeper resonance with the work, and brew irrepressible pain in the bottom of the heart!

"What a good work!"

Hikaru Nohara sighed.

Although the story itself makes people feel extremely sad, the content depicted is deeply attractive to him!

"Let's pay a little attention to the follow-up of this work. "

Although I am very busy at work, I can't lose this kind of small fun like this!

Otherwise, wouldn't life be nothing but pain?

If the end really comes, it will only be more painful for not taking advantage of the good time now to feel the beauty of life, right?

is also because the sales of the work itself are not low,

So by this time, there had been a lot of discussion on the Internet.

"First of all, I have to apologize to the teacher, I'm sorry!

I paid attention to the work "Three Questions of Doom" because my favorite manga artist, Love and Hope, knew about it, and as the first work of the other party to participate in the illustration work, I bought this book completely with the mentality of supporting the teacher at the beginning.

There is no expectation for teachers who have no previous records and are still newcomers!

But after reading this work, I realized my stupidity.

can make the loving warrior teacher willing to do illustration work, if it is not a very good work, with his current fame, why do such a thing?

I hope that those fans who bought this work with the same mentality as me will definitely take some time to read it!

This is an excellent book from any point of view!

With the teacher's illustrations, it's a strong combination!"

"It's really a great work! Thank you for the recommendation of the loving warrior teacher, so that I didn't miss such a good work!"

"Maybe this is the charm of words, knowing that the final ending will inevitably be like a face code that has become a ghost, only the ending of disappearing, but people can't help but want to read it and feel the last beauty before the real doomsday!"

"Obviously, the first volume of the story has not yet fully unfolded, and the wordless sadness always surrounds my heart. "

"I don't know how to comment, but the author's writing skills are so strong that I feel hurt all the time. "

"To be honest, the moment I saw this long title, I had the feeling that I put on the skin of the end and put on a gorgeous youth comedy - like this.

But after reading it, the sadness that I had nowhere to talk about made me understand that this is a tragedy that will not have any hope!

Highly recommend it to every reader who likes this style!!"

"Is it possible that the warrior teacher of love is willing to illustrate this work because the story is described as a tragedy from the beginning?"

Of course, I think there is also a reason why this work is good enough!!"

"For me who loves tragedy, this is a hearty experience!"

"Damn, I couldn't help but be scared after reading your comments, the end of "Magic Circle" and "Flower Name" made me cry enough, and there is such a one, do you really not plan to give people a way to live!?"

"It's not gone, how can there be a knife, let's see the execution!"

“..."

One day and two days..

As various forums and chat groups emerged, more and more discussions about the follow-up plot of "Three Questions of Doom", as well as comments with feelings.

It is also more and more people who are curious about this work!

Even those readers who like comedy, scrap cuteness, and harem works can't help but buy a copy.

I want to see what kind of magic this work really has.

Then, they felt the deep malice of "Three Questions of Doom" painfully and happily!

As we all know, readers who like comedy, scrap cuteness, and harems don't necessarily dislike tragedy.

Maybe it's just that the tragedy that attracts them didn't happen.

And "Three Questions of Doom" has made many people fall in love with this feeling.

The kind of pain that is depressed and has nowhere to vent is a good satisfaction for the unique "loneliness" psychology that is still in the second year of secondary school.

In the blink of an eye, weeks have passed.

"Nangong... Teacher Shadow, I always feel weird, why don't I just call Teacher Shadow, forget it?"

Listening to the voice of Machida Yuanzi on the other end of the phone, Nangong Mu said indifferently: "It's good if you're happy, 0......."

"Teacher Shadow, the sales of the first week of "Three Questions of Doom" are out!"

Machida Enko's voice was filled with joy that could not be hidden.

Nangong Mu smiled and did not speak.

There will always be someone who can't help but say first, why should he be in a hurry?

Without waiting for the expected reaction, Machida Enko couldn't help but pout.

"It's really like Xiao Yinsha said, teacher, when you face sales, there will never be any fluctuations. "

"It's like not being interested in the manuscript fee. "

"Even if I don't know the sales, don't delay me from getting the manuscript fee I deserve, right?"

"That's right. "

Machida Enko shook her head, wanting to see the other party jump up with excitement like those little sprouts, but there was no hope.

"The first week of sales of "Three Questions of Doom" was 2.7w!"

According to the calculation of 600 yen per roll and 10% royalty, it is also 1.62 million yen!

Although this number is not a small gap compared to the sales of manga, it is not bad!

What's more, it's still the first week.

However, this figure is a bit lower than Nangong Mu's expectations.

You must know that even the first volume of "Magic Circle" has more than 60,000 copies.

The second volume almost exceeded 50,000 copies on the first day!

In comparison, 2.7W is too low.

"This sales volume shouldn't be too low, right?"

“..."

Machida Enko was silent.

This is in Versailles, right?

It's in Versailles, right!?

27,000 copies in the first week!

100,000 copies in a single month!!

A single book is bound to reach an astonishing achievement of 500,000 copies!!

is such a popular model, isn't it too low in this guy's mouth?

If it is known by other authors, it will definitely be beaten by the other party's gritted teeth, right!?

Although I want to complain fiercely, considering that the other party is the new trump card in the comic section,

The first-week sales of those comic works that were released, although she, the editor-in-chief in charge of the light novel section, didn't know too well,

But occasionally I heard it mentioned by all the wild entanglements.

In comparison, this number is really a bit stretched.

But manga and light novels are not the same.

The group of the animation party can be said to be the broadest, while the group of the light novel party is the narrowest.

Machida Enko decided to explain a little: "Shadow sensei, that's not what I said. "

"This first-week data is already a hit work when placed on the light novel!"

"It's bound to sell 500,000 volumes of super hot works!"

"It belongs to the category that even if the first-line authors in the industry know about this first-day sales, they can't help but envy it!"

Is it so powerful?

Nangong Mu nodded, smiled and said, "It's good that I didn't embarrass the Machida editor." "

Lose face?

Inexistent!

Those guys will only go crazy with envy!

In addition, she has made a lot of efforts to release this work so quickly, and she will definitely get a generous bonus this time!

"Where to travel when you're on vacation~"

Although it is a false proposition when to take a holiday, this does not prevent him from imagining.

"Machida editor, since the first volume has been released, shouldn't the plan for the second volume be put forward as well?" 4.7

“！！"

What kind of immortal author is this!

She didn't need to blow it, she actually took the initiative to mention the second volume!

I'm a little jealous of that guy!

Although she also wants to put the second volume on the project as soon as possible, the first volume has only been released for a week, and it would be too inappropriate to talk about the second volume now!

Machida Yuanzi said politely: "Teacher Shadow, don't worry. "

"The second volume can be slow, 5 months, 6 months, and the readers will not have an opinion. "

"Machida editor, you don't have to be so polite with me. "

Nangong Mu said helplessly: "You also know that this work is for my new comics, right?"

"For so long, I don't know if the reader has an opinion, but I do. "

"What do you mean?"

Is this genius?

I can't stop such a fanaticism for the release!!

It's no wonder that two works can be completed in just half a year.

This kind of work attitude really deserves the success of others!

Machida Yuanzi said cautiously: "What does the shadow teacher mean?"

"Let's release the second volume next month. "

“？？"

This man is old, and his ears are his back.

I can actually listen to it next month.

The first volume taken out on October 1st, now on October 18th, has to set aside 10 days to prepare,

In other words, the second volume will be completed tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at the latest, how is it possible......

"In fact, as early as September, I wrote the story of the second volume, and now the third volume is almost finished, I calculated that it is completely in time for the release next month!"

"The only thing you need is how hard you have to work as editor Machida. "

So...

Didn't I just hallucinate?

This kid is coming straight to the really!?

Machida Yuanzi stubbornly spoke: "Shadow teacher, will a month be too fast?"

Besides, it was only released on the 11th, and two volumes were released on November 1st, which has only been more than 20 days!.
