Zongman: Why is your comic full of knives?

Shueisha, story comics department.

April of each year is undoubtedly the busiest month for all editors.

As Shueisha's highest award, the Tezuka Prize, means the highest honor.

In this short month, the editorial department will receive countless manuscripts from authors who have dreams for the future.

The surge in workload is a small matter. Those works that are still line drawings and can be called graffiti are enough to drive editors who have been in the industry for many years crazy.

Otosagami Zhang is a new editor who has just joined Shueisha. Before he could adapt to the daily work of an editor, he caught up with this hellish scene!

"Why can such a guy have the confidence to submit an article!"

Yinsha saw that Zhang's tone was full of irritability. Looking at the screen in front of her, her little fist hardened and softened, and then softened and hardened again.

Torture.

She didn't see any good stories, but only felt pure torture.

She picked up the coffee beside her roughly and poured a sip into her mouth. The girl's mood was slightly relieved.

"Alas."

Compared to other office workers, it's not bad to be able to do my hobbies when I was young, although the work these days is completely different from what I expected.

After getting ready, Yinsha saw Zhang click on the next work.

《Puella Magi Madoka Magica》

"Magical girl? This kind of work should be submitted directly to Shogakukan."

After making a casual remark, Yinsha saw Zhang shook his head. At least the name is serious. This alone is better than 90% of the works he has seen in the past few days.

He opened the file.

Yinsha saw Zhang's eyes light up instantly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face:"What a mature style!"

"The level of completion is very high!"

In the picture, thick smoke and fire filled the air.

The shadows and special effects alone surpassed all the works I had seen before, and were even comparable to those serialized in magazines!

"Finally, I saw a work that people can read!"

Even if it is a theme like"magical girl" that seems a bit childish in the eyes of the public, it does not affect Yinsha's joy at the moment.

It's like eating shit for several days and suddenly a bowl of white rice comes in front of you.

Only those who have experienced it will understand the excitement.

Yinsha saw Zhang stabilize his emotions and read it seriously.

「If she were alone, the burden would be too heavy.

A slender figure appeared in the smoke and fire, and another girl stared at her from afar:"Why is this happening? This is too much!""

"Not with this kind of......"

The slender figure in the fire showed its front, blood stained its school uniform, and its face was in pain.

The scene changed, and a cute little creature appeared.

「Xiaoyuan, do you want to change your fate?"

It was another girl, called Xiaoyuan by this little creature. She was wearing the same school uniform and staring at the back of the man not far away.

Facing the question from the cute creature beside her, Xiaoyuan subconsciously said:"Hey......"

「Just overturn everything in this world.」

「There is a power within you that can make it happen.」

"real...?...？"

Under the split screen, the expression on Xiaoyuan's face could not be seen clearly, but the person not far away seemed to have heard the conversation between the two. He suddenly turned around with a sad expression on his face and stretched out his hand to stop them.

However, the distance between the two was too far, and the girl's words did not reach them.

「Of course."

The unknown creature showed an innocent smile on its face.

「So, sign a contract with me and become a magical girl!"

The next moment, the scene changed.

A girl named Madoka appeared on the bed.

"Is it a dream?"...

A total of 29 pages, very fast to the end

"Eh, that's it?"

Yinsha saw Zhang blinking, with a hint of surprise on his face.

He was surprised that he was so absorbed in watching, and also surprised that......

"It feels not as childish as I imagined?"

Different from the magical girls I usually watch, I always feel that the plot is particularly mature.

"Judging from the current plot, it seems that this is not an ordinary magical girl."

According to the normal process, the protagonist encounters a crisis, then gains power, becomes a magical girl, and embarks on the road of helping and saving others.

This can be regarded as a fixed formula.

"The dream at the beginning, the new transfer student, the warning of"don't change yourself", the pursuit of Kyubey, the encounter with the witch, and the appearance of Tomoe Mami at the end."

Completely different development, and......

"I always feel like there's something hidden in it. Is it my illusion?"

Yinsha couldn't help but smile and shook her head when she saw Zhang

"The theme of magical girls has been developed to this extent, what hidden secrets can there be?

In the end, isn't it still a magical girl, solving various incidents, and happily pasting"

"The author is called"Warrior of Love and Hope", which is quite appropriate."

With this thought in mind, Yinsha Jianzhang thought for a while and wrote his own comments at the end of the work.

【Although it is a very common magical girl theme, the overall completion of the work is very high! Readers who like cute works should fall in love with such a cute style at first sight!

It can be seen that the author wants to make something new in the plot, but because the current plot only has one painting, it is impossible to know the subsequent intentions.

There may be unexpected developments, or it may be inevitable to fall into clichés, so it is recommended to wait and see.

Rather than being a participating work, it is more like a work that was aimed at publication from the beginning, but when I submitted it, I saw that there was a grand prize, so I chose to submit it.

My ability is quite high. If I change the type of subject matter, I may have a better performance. I am a newcomer who is worth looking forward to!】

"Unfortunately, I am just a small editor."

I am a new editor.

I have no say.

Yinsha saw Zhang shaking his head and waved his fist to cheer himself up:"Just do your job well! Come on, Yinsha!!"

He packed the files and sent them to his editor-in-chief, and then opened the next email.

A little

"Ah! Eyes! My eyes!!"

The girl's scream echoed in the solitary apartment at night.......

In the office of a chief editor of Shueisha, a woman wearing a pure white dress and short green hair was sitting at the desk.

She was petite and looked like a little girl, but in fact, she was already an adult and served as the chief editor.

As the computer made a slight sound, Minano Matoi's eyes gradually focused on the computer.

"Hmm? Have you found another good work?"

"I wonder if there will be any works that qualify for the Tezuka Award this time."

As Shueisha's highest newcomer award, it is held twice a year, but not every time it selects the highest award of"selected".

In fact, the last time a work was"selected" was three years ago.

"Time flies by so fast."

Minano Chan shook his head, retracted his thoughts, and looked at the screen in front of him.

《Seeing the title of"Puella Magi Madoka Magica"

, Minano Matoi smiled for some reason.

Time was ticking.

29 pages of comics were not much, but she spent a whole hour reading it.

"What will happen next?"The voice of Minano Chan could be heard from inside the house.

"Yinsha Jianzhang......The new guy who just joined the industry?"

The image of the guy when he first joined the company appeared in my mind.

"Good vision, fair evaluation, if such talents are well trained, they should be able to become editors in the future."

After thinking about it, he did not modify the comments written by Yinsha Jianzhang at the end.

Minano Chan sent the packaged files to the"Try to slack off every day" discussion group in Line.
