Zongman: Why is your comic full of knives?

Nohara Hikaru is an ordinary office worker. He left work today, exhausted as usual.

The only thing that made him happy today was that his boss, who was as fat as a pig, did not ask him to work overtime. It was a rare opportunity to get off work early, and as a single man, he didn't know how to spend this rare time.

"It's really ugly."

Although it used to be that I usually got off work after 9pm, there were still colleagues working overtime with me.

We could go to the izakaya to have a small gathering, drink a few glasses, and vent our dissatisfaction with work.

It was not yet 5pm, and the izakaya was still being prepared.

At this time, the discussion of three teenagers walking by attracted his attention.

"As expected of a teacher! Great drawing!!"

"It's worth my money to buy a collection!"

"It would be better if the content was a little better."

"There’s no hope, there’s no hope. What good can a newcomer who I’ve never heard of write?"

"......"

As the boys walked away, the sound gradually disappeared.

"Light novels?"

Nohara Hikaru looked at the boys' backs thoughtfully.

Then he sighed,"It's great."

He could discuss these works freely like this.

Looking back at his time, even if he was interested in these things, he could only read them quietly by himself.

Discussing with friends on the street like this only existed in his imagination.

"Come to think of it, I don't have time to read after work."Thinking of this, Nohara Hikari walked to the nearby bookstore.

Nohara Hikari was not interested in those three- and four-volume works that he had never heard of.

Going straight to the next work without reading the previous one?

What's the point.

So he went directly to the new work area specially divided by the bookstore.

Soon, a work caught his attention.

It was not the name of the work, but the cover with the clear color"807" and exquisite picture.

It was a man who looked more mature, wearing a German-style military uniform, giving people a tough feeling.

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

The heroine standing next to the male protagonist was also very colorful.

Wearing a wide cloak, it was similar to the combination of the two images of fairies and mysterious travelers in European legends.

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

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

"《What are you doing at the end of the world? Are you free? Can you come to save us?"Now the names of these light novels are getting longer and longer!"

When I first read light novels, the names were not so long!

Although he sighed like this, Nohara Hikari still took a de-sealed version for readers to experience.

"Is this a story about the end of the world?"

With this thought in mind, I turned to the first page.

"The" beast" destroyed the human race.

The young man William, who woke up from hundreds of years of slumber, became the only one left in the human race.

The various races living in the sky, using the power and technology of mankind, relied on the power of the"holy sword" to fight the fairy soldiers who used the holy sword and the"beast"!

After the battle, the fairy soldiers who have used up their strength will fall, but the"holy sword" can be used again

"At least, I hope I don’t have to disappear, and I want others to remember me. I also want to leave a bond."

These are the short but brilliant days that the fairy girls who are destined to die and the young instructors spend together.

Looking at the introduction on the cover of the book, Nohara Hikaru felt his heart being gently stabbed.

"Doomsday?......"

If at the beginning it was just because of these two words that he had an inexplicable melancholy, then now he felt a slight pain being aroused.

He truly felt the heaviness represented by these two words.

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

But for some reason, he always wanted to experience the beauty represented by"short but brilliant days".

Turning the pages, the sad atmosphere hit him.

It also made Nohara Hikaru more certain about how this book would end.

However.

"It is because it is destined to wither that the beauty before withering makes people miss it so much, and want to reach out and grab it at all costs!"

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

He closed the book, put it back on the bookshelf, and took out another one that was well packaged and brand new.

He came to the counter

"Hello, checkout."

For him, who has been working for a long time, the expense of several hundred yen is not worth mentioning.

If it was when he was young, he might have been entangled for a long time, but not now.

Holding the book in his hand, Nohara Hikari felt that he had returned to the happiest time of his youth.

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

One night, following the perspective of the protagonist"William", I saw the world that existed hundreds of years after the human beings who were destroyed by the"beasts".

The tribes that completely lost the earth can only live on islands floating in the sky. Even so, it does not mean that they are completely safe.

Because the"beasts" on the earth are still threatening them on the islands.

In addition, there are various other strange races, the"salvage team" that goes to the earth to search for the remains of civilization, and the fairies who use holy swords to fight the"beasts".......

All these perfectly satisfied his fantasy of this world, and he couldn't help but marvel at it.

At the same time, what made Nohara Hikaru 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 who is still alive can really feel everything in front of him. They are so vivid and bright.

This conflict of opposites makes people feel an uncontrollable sadness.

He is an outsider, an outsider without a past.

Everything here has nothing to do with him. There is no one he is attached to, no things he is attached to, and even the memories of his homeland are nowhere to be found.

It just so happens that the experiences of those battles have shaped William's current calm thinking.

This calmness is like a volcano imprisoned in the deep sea. The anger and sadness in his heart have nowhere to vent, which allows readers to resonate with the work at a deeper level and brew uncontrollable pain in their hearts!

""What a great work!"

Nohara Hikaru exclaimed.

Although the story itself made people feel extremely sad, the content it depicted deeply attracted him!

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

Although I am very busy at work, I can't give up the little pleasures of the past!

Otherwise, wouldn't life be filled with pain?

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

It is also because the sales of the work itself are not low, so at this time, a lot of discussions have emerged 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 the End of the World" because I learned about it from my favorite cartoonist, Warrior of Love and Hope. As the other party's first work to participate in illustration, I bought this book with the mentality of supporting the teacher at the beginning. I didn't have the slightest expectation for the teacher who had no past record and was still a newcomer!

But after reading this work, I realized my stupidity.

If it wasn't a very good work that could make the Warrior of Love willing to do illustration work, why would he do such a thing with his current fame?

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

This is an extremely excellent work from any angle!

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

"It is indeed a great work! Thanks to the recommendation of the love warrior teacher, so that I did not miss such a good work!"

"Perhaps this is the charm of words. Even though we know that the final ending will be like Menma who has become a ghost and disappears, we can't help but want to continue reading and feel the last beauty before the real doomsday comes!"

"Even though the first volume of the story has not yet been fully unfolded, the silent sadness still lingers in my heart."

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

"To be honest, when I saw this long title, I thought: a gorgeous youth comedy in the guise of doomsday.

But after reading it, the sadness that I couldn't express made me realize that this is a tragedy without any hope! (To read a thrilling novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

I strongly recommend it to every reader who likes this style!!"

"Is it possible that the warrior teacher of love was willing to draw illustrations for this work because the story describes a tragedy from the very beginning?"

"This possibility is not ruled out! Of course, I also think that this work is excellent enough!!"

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

"Damn, after reading your comments, I suddenly couldn't help but get scared.》、《The ending of"Hana" made me cry so hard, and here comes another one like this, are they really not going to give people a chance to live! ?"

"He's not dead, so where is the knife? Just wait and see!"

"..."

One or two days...

With the emergence of more and more discussions about the follow-up plot of"Three Questions on the End of the World" and comments from people's hearts in various forums and chat groups, more and more people are curious about this work!

Even readers who like comedies, cute stories, and harem works couldn't help but buy a copy.

They wanted to see what magic this work had.

Then, they felt the deep malice of"Three Questions on the End of the World" with pain and joy!

As we all know, readers who like comedies, cute stories, and harems don't necessarily dislike tragedies.

Maybe it's just that the tragedy that can attract them didn't appear.

And"Three Questions on the End of the World" made many people fall in love with this feeling.

The kind of repressed and nowhere to vent pain satisfies the unique"lonely" psychology of those who are still in the second year of middle school.

In a blink of an eye, a week has passed.

"Nangong...Teacher Ying, I always feel weird, how about I just call her Teacher Ying, forget it?"

Listening to the voice of Machida Yuanzi on the other end of the phone, Nangong Mu said indifferently:"As long as you are happy........"

"Shadow teacher, the first week sales of"Three Questions of the End of the World" are out!"

Machida Yuanzi's voice was filled with unconcealed joy. Nangong

Mu smiled and said nothing.

There are always people who can't help but speak first, why should he be in a hurry?

Unable to wait for the expected reaction, Machida Yuanzi couldn't help but curl her lips.

"It is just like what Xiao Yinsha said. When you are dealing with sales, there is never any fluctuation."

"It's like I have no interest in the royalties."

"Even if I don't know the sales volume, it won't prevent me from getting the royalties I deserve, right?"

"That's true."

Machida Yuanzi shook her head. She had no hope of seeing her jumping up and down with excitement like those newbies.

"《The first week sales of"Three Questions of the End of the World" is 27,000!"

Based on 600 yen per volume and 10% royalties, it is 1.62 million yen!

Although this number is quite different from the sales of comics, it is not bad!

Moreover, this is only the first week. However, this number is a bit lower than Nangong Mu's expectations.

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

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

In comparison, 27,000 is really too low.

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

"..."

Machida Sonoko was silent.

This is in Versailles, right?

This is in Versailles, right? ?

27,000 copies in the first week!!

It can hit 100,000 copies in a single month!!

A single book will definitely reach an amazing result of 500,000 copies!!

Such a hot-selling product, isn’t it too low in this guy’s mouth?

If other authors knew about it, they would definitely be beaten up by them! ?

Although she wanted to complain harshly, considering that the other party was the new ace in the comics section, the first-week sales of the comics released, although she, the editor-in-chief in charge of the light novel section, was not too clear, but she occasionally heard Minano Matoi mention it.

In comparison, this number is really a bit lame.

But comics and light novels are different.

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

Machida Sonoko decided to explain a little:"Shadow Teacher, that's not what you say."

"This first week data would already be considered a hit among light novels!"

"A super hot work that is bound to sell 500,000 copies!"

"It is the kind of thing that even the first-line authors in the industry would be envious of if they knew about the first-day sales volume!"

So it's that amazing?

Nangong Mu nodded and said with a smile:"I'm glad I didn't embarrass editor Machida.""

Embarrassment?

Not happening!

Those guys will just be crazy with envy!

In addition, she has made a great contribution to the quick release of this work, so she will definitely get a generous bonus this time!

"It's vacation time, where should we go to travel~"

Although when to go on vacation is a false proposition, it doesn't stop him from imagining

"Editor Machida, since the first volume has been released, isn't it time to bring up the planning for the second volume?" 4.7

"！！"

What kind of godly author is this!

She doesn't even need to brag about it, she actually took the initiative to mention the second volume!

She is a little jealous of Minano!

Although she also wants to put the second volume on the plan as soon as possible, the first volume has just been released for a week. It's too rude to talk about the second volume now!

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

"The second volume can be written slowly, in 5 or 6 months, and readers will have no objection"

"Editor Machida, you don't have to be so polite to me." Nangong

Mu said helplessly:"You also know that this work is to pave the way for my new comics, right?"

"I don't know if readers have any opinions after such a long time, but I will have some opinions."

"So what do you mean?"

Is this a genius? He is so enthusiastic about publishing that nothing can stop him!!

No wonder he was able to complete two works in just half a year.

With such a work attitude, he deserves to succeed!

Machida Sonoko spoke carefully:"So what does Shadow Teacher mean?"

"The second volume will be released next month."

"？？"

This person is old and has poor hearing.

He could actually hear it as next month.

The first volume was submitted on October 1st, and now it is October 18th. I have to reserve 10 days for preparation, which means that the second volume must be completed by the next day or the day after tomorrow. How is it possible?......

"In fact, I had already written the story for the second volume in September, and the third volume is almost finished. I calculated that it is completely in time for publication next month!"

"

All I need is for you , Editor Machida, to work harder....

Was I hallucinating just now?

This kid is really serious!?

Machida Yuanzi said,"Shadow Teacher, isn't one month too fast?"
