God Descends the Second Element

"Boom——"

There was a knock on the door, interrupting what Ayano Iida was about to say. Everyone knows that she has a habit of not being interrupted when reviewing works.

Knocking on the door at this time, there must be something important, Iida Ayano said to the door: "Please come in."

"Senior Iida, it's almost time for the meeting..."

The waiter Wang Hao saw came in from outside the door. Hearing what she said, Iida Ayano came to her senses, picked up Wang Hao's manuscript, and left the office quickly, leaving only a lingering sound.

"Who is that, please wait for me here first?"

But don't be late, why I almost forgot that today is Monday, the president has to come to the meeting in person! !

I didn't expect that this editor-in-chief who looked like a strong woman would have such a reckless side, and almost forgot the time of the meeting. It was really interesting.

...

In the Weekly Shonen Jump meeting office, when Ayano Iida entered, everyone else had already taken their seats. Although it was not time for the meeting, she felt embarrassed for being late.

"Now that all the members are here, let's start the serial meeting of this issue."

Shueisha Co., Ltd. is one of Neon's largest publishing houses. The current president, Horiuchi Marue, sat in the middle and said lightly.

There were only a dozen or so people in the entire meeting room. They had serious faces and were very aware of the importance of this meeting.

Among them are the editor-in-chief, deputy editor-in-chief, and many senior editors. President Horiuchi Marue personally presided over the meeting.

This meeting will decide which comics will be cut in half next, as well as the serialization of new works. The cut works will be determined according to the ranking of the reader survey.

All they have to do is to look for new works, discover newcomers with potential, and inject new blood into Shueisha. This is very important, and one mistake will affect the reputation of Weekly Shonen Jump.

Therefore, this meeting is related to everyone present, and there must be no mistakes, and it must be taken seriously.

"Long time no see, gentlemen."

As the president, Horiuchi Marue, although her hair is a little gray, she undoubtedly has a very high prestige in Shueisha. When she spoke, everyone present stood up and bowed.

"President Horiuchi!"

"Everyone sit down, the meeting will officially start next."

As soon as he spoke, other people slowly took their seats. Horiuchi Marue turned on the computer, and the projector at the back released a set of data. He continued solemnly: "After reading these data, I believe everyone understands the current situation of Shueisha. If this continues, our position will change."

Horiuchi Marue stood up, pointed out a set of data with her fingers, and said loudly: "That's right, the sales of Weekly Shonen Jump have gradually declined recently, while the other two have steadily increased!"

From the very beginning, the editors who were present felt something was wrong, because Horiuchi Marue asked other people to report every Monday meeting, but this time the meeting was actually asked to be investigated by the president himself, which shows the seriousness of the situation.

"Everyone knows that Shueisha's existence today is not easy. When we became independent from Shogakukan, we received many blows, but through the continuous efforts of many seniors, we have achieved what we are today."

His falcon-like eyes looked around at everyone present, and those who were watched by him immediately straightened up. Horiuchi Marue's prestige played a role at this time.

"So I don't want the crystallization of the predecessors to be destroyed in my hands, and I believe everyone doesn't want such a thing to happen."

This meeting was like Horiuchi Marue's personal speech. At the moment of Shueisha's life and death, no one came out to refute him, and they all thought solemnly.

"I said this to let you understand the current situation. Next, I hope everyone can take the meeting seriously and report on the situation last week."

The rest of the editors understood the meaning of what Horiuchi Marue said just now, in order to put more pressure on them and find excellent new cartoonists.

The reason for being so anxious is not unreasonable, because the cut of "Reaper" has had a great impact on Shueisha, so what they need now is not ordinary manga, but phenomenal manga like "Reaper" , even a manga that surpasses "Reaper"! !

According to the current level of cartoonists at Shueisha, it is difficult to have such works, so we can only divert our attention to find newcomers.

They didn't complain that Kubo led someone to cut "Bleach" in half, because the other party had already made great contributions to Shueisha and established the leading position in the manga industry.

Moreover, Taketo Kubo also made it clear that if there is a new work, it will be serialized in Shueisha, but it does not necessarily have the potential to become a phenomenon-level manga.

The Kubo era in the manga world is over, so Shueisha has to face a difficult situation. Through the words of Horiuchi Marue just now, other editors know that this issue will obviously cut a few more manga.

Because the other two series of "Inuyasha" and "Fairy Tail" that are being serialized are gradually becoming popular, Shueisha without "Reaper" has obviously begun to decline. The sales of the last issue still depend on reputation, but it is still better than "Reaper". The time has dropped a lot.

Continuing on like this, taking jujube pills, occupying the leading position in the world's comics industry, will be handed over. This is undoubtedly a great shame! !

Editor-in-Chief Matsumoto turned on his computer, replaced the content on the projector, and displayed six comic books.

"These six comics are determined to be cut in half. After the supervision of various departments, the final decision is made."

Looking at the comics on the projector, the atmosphere in the conference room became a little more heavy. The results of one or two of them were not bad. Since it was decided to cut in half, it should be the cartoonist's own wish.

"Who are the new cartoonists worth cultivating?"

The most critical question of this meeting finally came. All the editors looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, and then they all looked at Ayano Iida, who had the most junior qualifications.

"There are indeed two rookie cartoonists who are worth cultivating, but I don't know the situation of one of them."

Iida Ayano said bravely, at this time, only she can take the pressure off, took out a manuscript from her body, handed it to Horiuchi Marue, and turned on her computer to transfer a manuscript to the projector superior.

When all the editors saw the content on the projector, they were shocked by the magnificent painting style. How could such a perfect thing be a comic? !

It is so perfect, there is no flaw in the details, the exquisite characters are almost equal, and the style of painting is absolutely magnificent, people can't fault it.

The editors who have worked in the comics industry for many years were completely shocked. They have never seen a comic style that can reach such a point! !
