Zongman: Why are your comics full of knives!

Friday, after school.

A café located near Shueisha Shrine.

Nangong Mu was in the same voice, and seeing Zhang and the two sat opposite each other.

“...... This week, "Magic Circle" has been serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump"

According to the reader questionnaire received, it is currently the top three high scores~"

The questionnaire is also an old tradition of Shueisha Society.

Through the questionnaire sent back by readers, it is clear which works are highly popular and which are low-popularity works.

Of course, this generalization is also somewhat one-sided.

The simplest example.

Many men like "Tolove" very much, but because it is too astringent, they don't want others to know that they chose it as the top three works.

Another example is Nishio Reisin's manga "The Strongest Leader Kurokami" that collaborated with Akira Akatsuki on WJ (short for "Weekly Shōnen Jump"

).

Although the rating remains at the end of the year, it will sell well every time a single book is issued

The reason for this is simply because Nishio Reijin's works are very sticky, but his fans don't like to buy WJ.

Back to business.

Nangong Mu thought about the plot of the first episode of the magic circle.

How to say, although there is a foreshadowing that buried Xiaomei Yan to return to the present through the timeline

But without knowing the specific plot as a premise, it is not much different from ordinary magical girls.

For a magazine based on juvenile manga, the magical girl theme is definitely not welcome.

Feedback from readers is also very good.

There is only one reason for this.

These readers have purchased a single book and know the plot behind!

"I didn't expect the editor of Otosha to be someone who cares about this kind of thing."

Yin Sha saw Zhang helplessly spread his hands: "What do you think adults work hard for!" "

No matter how enthusiastic there is, if there is no corresponding return, it will be exhausted!

The only thing that can move a mature adult is wages.

"The works with the top three overall ratings every month can get a bonus, and I can count on you."

After speaking, Yin Sha saw Zhang looking at Nangong Mu pitifully.

"I think you should count more on the reader."

"By the way, as a benefit, the author can also receive a bonus!"

"And it's much higher than what our editors can get!"

After speaking, Yin Sha saw Zhang Tou with envious eyes.

Nangong Mu nodded seriously: "I will call on fans to vote for "Magic Circle" more!" "

This guy!

Don't be so fickle!

Otosa saw Zhang tug at the corners of his mouth

Considering that you can also reap the benefits, give up spitting....

"That's not right!"

"Doesn't you guy still have an official number for SNS certification?"

Nangong Mu rolled his eyes back: "Are you an editor or am I an editor?" "

"You shouldn't have thought of this kind of thing in advance?"

Although he is angry, this guy is not wrong.

I didn't think of this, it can be said that she is an editor who is derelict in her duties!

"Sorry, I'll help you apply when I get back next time."

Nangong Mu nodded and threw a teachable look at the other party.

Don't be angry!

Otosa saw Zhang clench his fists and take a deep breath.

“...... Sales of the "Magic Circle" single book are declining this week, but it should not be difficult to break through 100,000 copies. "

"Isn't it normal for sales to drop in the second week, take it easy."

"100,000 copies is already a lot."

Otosa saw Zhang nodding subconsciously, and then reacted.

Wait a minute.

Aren't these words supposed to be said by me? How did it become this guy's line!?

And why is this picture so similar to a secretary reporting to the boss?

But if you think about it....

"This guy's work is excellent and selling, and he can get more salary and bonuses."

Case solved!

So this guy is my boss, and Shueisha is just a third-party company that pays salaries!

Debriefing is a matter of course!

Find a reason to successfully convince yourself.

It seems useless, at least it feels good.

“......"

After talking about the recent situation, Otosa saw Zhang showing a serious expression.

"Then Teacher Nangong, why did you specially meet me today?"

"Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal."

Nangong Mu waved his hand, signaling the other party to relax a little, and then said:

"I have finished drawing "The Magic Circle", and today I am here to give you the following draft."

"I'm done drawing."

Yinsha saw Zhang nodded and sighed, "Actually, Teacher Nangong doesn't have to work so hard. "

"The manuscripts you gave me last time have been enough for a long time!"

Take the single book issued, the total number of 12 episodes above

It's been more than two months!

Even if you are a little lazy, you are completely fine.

"That's right, but I won't draw the Magic Circle again after that."

Really!

Otosha saw Zhang cover his head, how could this guy's performance not be a "problem child"?

But it is also her job to correct such problems!

That's when I have to show my dignity as an editor!

Otosa saw Zhang clench his fists and cheered himself up.

Then a bright smile appeared on his face, and he humbly spoke: "May I ask if Teacher Nangong encountered something at home?" "

"If there is any problem, you can tell me, I believe the company side is very willing to help!!"

"You don't have to hide anything from me!"

Nangong Mu looked at Yin Sha and saw Zhang with a confused expression: "What are you talking about?" "

"Then I'll get blunt."

Yinsha saw Zhang solemnly speak: "The results of "Magic Circle" are so good, why did you choose to suspend the publication?" "

"Closed? When did I say that? "

Yin Sha saw Zhang aggrieved: "Didn't you just say that you wouldn't draw "Magic Circle" again?" "

"It's all done, why should I draw again?"

"It turned out to be finished."

Otosa saw Zhang breathe a sigh of relief and nodded.

Then his eyes widened and he exclaimed in shock: "Finished painting!?" "

The sound is so loud that it directly attracts all the eyes around you.

Seeing that Zhang didn't have time to care about this, Yin Sha said urgently:

"You mean that the manuscript handed to me this time is not just the next time, but all of the Magic Circle to the end!?"

"That's right."

“？？"

Otosa saw that Zhang accepted that he couldn't.

What kind of speed is this guy?

Why is it so fast!?

The electric small motor should not be so exaggerated!!

No, it's not right!

No matter how fast it is, a long comic cannot be finished so quickly.

Unless...

"Teacher Nangong, let me ask you, how many single books can be produced for the rest of the plot of "Magic Circle"?"

"One book."

Really!!

This is not a long comic at all, but a short story that has been serialized for less than half a year!!

Seeing Zhang crying and laughing, Yin Sha couldn't help but persuade: "Teacher Nangong, 'Magic Circle' still has great potential

I don't think it's necessary to finish so quickly. "

"Now that the story I want to tell is over, it should be over."

"Don't you think it's a pity?

The next time may not be able to draw such a hit, nor may it be able to get the opportunity to serialize so easily.

The most important thing is to come up with a new story, which is not easy. "

"If that's all you're worried about, I think you can settle down."

"Huh?"

"Actually, I have already drawn the opening part of the next work."

“？？"

Otosa saw Zhang stunned in his seat, his face full of confusion and helplessness.

Isn't it just that my hearing is delusional?

If not... When did it become so easy to draw manga!?
