God Descends the Second Element

"But don't have too high expectations, but if Dragon Ball rises, then the current comics industry is destined to have an additional 16-year-old comic master, but all this is based on Dragon Ball's continued glory. Under conditions.”

Editor-in-Chief Matsumoto analyzed calmly, which temporarily cooled down the excitement in everyone's hearts, but they had higher expectations for Dragon Ball, because the ones who are looking forward to Dragon Ball the most now are not the editors present, but the editors who have been affected by it. Enough of all the comic friends with the same routine.

"By the way, I actually have one more thing I want to discuss with you. The comic version of Five Centimeters Per Second has been released. Do you want to read it?"

The Dragon Ball matter was settled, and Wang Hao could only rely on himself from now on. It was useless no matter how much Iida Ayano worried, so she had to change the topic.

"Oh? Master Shiina Mashiro, did you draw it so quickly?"

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Kitahara raised his eyebrows slightly. Wang Hao may not know it yet, but most of Shueisha's editors have already followed his Twitter. Naturally, they know the news about the 5 Centimeters Per Second manga version, and there will also be newcomers that Shueisha will focus on. , written by Mashiro Shiina.

I just didn't expect that Wang Hao would take action so quickly not long after the news came out on Twitter.

This not only aroused everyone's interest, Mashiro Shiina is a world-class talented painter. The style of her works last time shocked everyone present. Unfortunately, her storytelling skills were a bit too poor, but this problem does not exist this time.

"Yes, the master teacher of this comic also helped Mr. Shiina in the creation. I will upload the Five Centimeters Per Second comic."

Iida Ayano smiled and nodded. She could already predict everyone's surprise. She sat back down and opened her computer, and put the document of Second Five Comics in the form of a slideshow on the middle screen. .

When everyone looked sideways, their breathing gradually became heavier, and their eyes staring at the screen became brighter and brighter, as if they were looking at some rare treasure.

…

Five minutes later, the slide finally came to the last one, and everyone looked away from the screen, with a bit of shock still on their faces.

"You want to serialize the Five Centimeters per Second manga in "JUMP SQUARE", right, Editor-in-Chief Iida?"

Ishimoto Junichi glanced at Ayano Iida with a hint of envy, and the other editors also had various complicated looks. Without comparison, there would be no harm, because comparing people to others is simply infuriating.

We are all editors at the same publishing house, but our luck is so bad, right?

The discovery of Kamushi-sensei by Ayano Iida has already made other editors envious, and now there is another Shiina Mashiro. Thinking back to the Second Five Comics just now, even Editor-in-Chief Matsumoto couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, this time it is mainly for everyone to review. If there are no problems, I plan to get "JUMP SQUARE" to editor-in-chief Masahiko Ibaraki for review, and then serialize it on the 4th."

Iida Ayano continued, her face a little uncontrollably excited. Editor-in-chief Matsumoto smiled helplessly upon seeing this, "If it weren't for the fact that Weekly Jump's positioning is not suitable for this comic, and the serialization slot is not available, what would I say? It’s really a pity that I won’t give it to that guy Masahiko…”

The other editors nodded in agreement upon hearing this. They can now imagine that the sales of "JUMP SQUARE", which will be released on the 4th, will definitely explode.

It's a pity that the serialization slots in Weekly Jump are now full. Otherwise, even if the subject matter is slightly inconsistent, Editor-in-Chief Matsumoto will definitely open some special channels to allow Second Five comics to be serialized in Weekly Jump.

Because Second Five Comics can only be regarded as short comics and can be completed in a short time, it is also considered to serialize it in Weekly Jump for a period of time.

There is also a deeper reason for doing this, because the plot of Second Five has been decided, not to mention the painting style. If something unexpected happens to Dragon Ball by then, Yoshihiro Togashi will be serialized in Hunters at the same time as Second Five. Sales will hardly be affected.

Being able to sit in the position of Shueisha's chief editor, Shuuji Matsumoto has naturally broadened his horizons. What he has to consider is no longer personal interests, but maintaining a balance among all parts of the entire society.

However, with the presence of full-time hunters, we can already prevent unexpected situations that may occur in weekly jumps. Moreover, "JUMP SQUARE" is indeed very suitable for Five Seconds, and it can also increase sales for it.

"Editor-in-Chief Iida needs to train Ms. Shiina Mashiro carefully. She is a pretty good young talent. She might be able to shine in "RIBON" in the future."

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Kitahara said with a slight smile that Mashiro Shiina's potential should not be underestimated, and there is even hope of regaining the leadership of "RIBON".

As members of Shueisha, they naturally know the current situation of the major comic magazines under Shueisha, or they have all served as editors in different comic magazines.

Just like Masahiko Ibaraki, the first editor-in-chief of "Jump SQ", was originally the editor-in-chief of "Weekly Shōnen Jump". He became the editor-in-chief of "Jump SQ" after its founding. He chose to leave "Weekly Shōnen Jump" and became the editor-in-chief of "JUMP SQUARE". Full-time editor.

It can be said that as long as the editors under Shueisha have worked at Shueisha for a certain number of years, most of them know each other and are often transferred. Iida Ayano is a newcomer who has been promoted in recent years. Before that, she had worked in other editors at Shueisha. Worked in the editorial department of a comic magazine.

"Well, but this may be quite difficult. It is not easy to cultivate Shiina Mashiro's storytelling ability."

Matsumoto Shuuji smiled bitterly and shook his head. This time the Five Centimeters Per Second comic was entirely due to the script. They did not forget the last time Shiina Mashiro created the comic. The storyline was as bland and tasteless as boiled water.

However, if this continues, the situation should gradually improve.

“That’s exactly what I’m trying to do right now.”

Ayano Iida said with a blunt smile that she was currently responsible for only two cartoonists, and Wang Hao didn't have to worry about her at all, so she naturally had to focus on Mashiro Shiina.

"Then let's start discussing other works. Editor Ishimoto, please introduce your situation in detail first."

Shuji Matsumoto coughed slightly and brought the topic back. He turned his head and looked at Junichi Ishimoto who asked lightly. The atmosphere of the entire meeting suddenly became serious again. This meeting was not just about Dragon Ball and Five Seconds, but also The purpose is to conduct a discussion on serializing the work in Weekly Jump to proceed with the subsequent allocation of resources.

But if this momentum continues, Shueisha’s light of hope will become brighter and brighter...
