God Descends the Second Element

If Yoshihiro Togashi had been willing to serialize "Hunter" properly, Shueisha would now have two phenomenal comics serialized in Weekly Jump, and there would not be the current disconnection after the completion of "Bleach".

Shueisha will not take huge risks to carry out the Dragon Ball God-making project, and will focus its resources on this comic that amazed the world at the beginning.

However, "Hunter" cannot be considered a phenomenon-level comic because of its author. If Yoshihiro Togashi comes back to serialize one day, everything will be the same again, but... is it possible?

To put it bluntly, the importance of a phenomenal comic to comic publishers is self-evident. It may even change once and reshuffle the industry, because after the completion of Bleach, no phenomenal comic has been born yet!

If either Shogakukan or Kodansha produces a phenomenon-level manga, it will undoubtedly take away Shueisha's position as the leader.

Maybe someone will ask at this time, is it a bit exaggerated to be able to determine the leading position in the industry just by relying on a so-called phenomenal comic?

In fact, this is not an exaggeration at all. Anyone who knows the current industry knows it, especially the editors of the three major comics companies. It only takes an easy analogy to make people understand. Take the current comic that almost became a phenomenon. For a full-time hunter.

In the past, when Bleach was still being serialized, whenever Yoshihiro Togashi picked up the pen and continued to serialize Hunter, the sales of Weekly Jump for that period would increase by 30%, not to mention the Weekly Shonen Jump, which was serialized by Bleach, which at that time outsold the other two. How much, this shows how terrifying the impact of a phenomenal comic is.

"Well, if Longzhu can continue to maintain this performance for two months, no, it only needs to continue for one month, then you can consider the number one position."

Editor-in-Chief Matsumoto squinted his eyes and spoke calmly. What he said immediately shocked all the editors present. They looked at each other in disbelief, and finally turned their eyes to Editor-in-Chief Matsumoto, who was sitting in the center.

At this time, everyone felt that the usually steady editor-in-chief was acting a bit too rashly!

"Chief Editor Matsumoto, isn't it a bit too rash to directly let Dragon Ball take the first place? After all, it is a work that has just been serialized..."

Even Iida Ayano, who is in charge of Dragon Ball, couldn't help being surprised when she heard what Editor-in-Chief Matsumoto said, although she also determined in her heart that if Dragon Ball continued like this, it would only be a matter of time before it took the top spot.

But now the time has actually been advanced. Longzhu only needs to maintain such results for one month to reach the top spot.

You know, logically, this position should be handed over to the second-ranked work. Even Bleach did not sit on the first-ranked throne until about 30 chapters in the series, and it will be the same for the next dozen years. Untouchable.

Although Bleach is finished and this position has been vacated, according to common sense, the second in line should sit for a few months. After all, Dragon Ball has only been serialized for three chapters. According to the normal serialization speed, there will be five chapters in a month. That's not bad. It will take at least two or three months to sit on it.

Moreover, when Dragon Ball was serialized, not long after Bleach ended, after everyone considered many factors, the editorial department decided to give Dragon Ball the right to be ranked first. The next issue should have been ranked second. Right, but we won’t do this starting from the next issue.

The front page is usually given to new serials, promotions, anniversary celebrations and other special circumstances. Generally, the front page is the first-ranked work. In fact, the first order starts from the second one, but more front pages are also popular. High proof.

In other words, counting the previous and next issues of Dragon Ball, the privilege of being ranked first has been used twice. It must be understood that this is a work that has just been serialized. Even Bleach has only enjoyed this benefit once when it was first serialized. .

"Let's not mention this for now. If something unexpected happens to Longzhu in the middle, I will naturally not consider the first place."

Editor-in-chief Matsumoto waved his hand. The number one position is not so easy to get. According to the normal process, although Longzhu won the overall first place, it would only hover around the second or third place.

But since Shueisha has decided on Dragon Ball's god-making plan, it is natural to shift its resources to Dragon Ball, but it won't go too far. After all, if the quality of Dragon Ball is not up to par, but it still wants to sit on the top spot, then it can be said that Shueisha has already It's over.

Editor-in-chief Matsumoto felt that his treatment of Longzhu was good enough. All that was left was to see whether the young master teacher could continue the glory of Longzhu.

If that doesn't work, they will naturally consider cutting Longzhu in half. Even the God of Death will inevitably avoid this outcome.

"It is undeniable that Longzhu's current results are indeed terrible, but it may be difficult to maintain it for a month. After all, the master teacher is only sixteen years old. If he can succeed, another master will be born in the comics industry..."

Ishimoto Junichi said slightly worriedly. He has been working at Shueisha for almost ten years and now he is the editor-in-chief. He is currently one of the most promising candidates to be the editor-in-chief.

I have also seen the Shinigami's glorious moments, so I naturally know what Dragon Ball's achievements represent. At such a critical moment, I still chose the fair side, even though the God Master is not the cartoonist he is responsible for.

"A sixteen-year-old genius cartoonist is already surprising enough. If Teacher Shenzhu can become a cartoonist at this age, it would be really amazing to think about it..."

Deputy Editor Kitahara sighed softly. What is the concept of a sixteen-year-old cartoon master?

It is absolutely unprecedented and unprecedented.

You must know that a normal cartoonist may not be qualified to serialize his works in the weekly jump until he is in his thirties. It can be said that the cartoon world is a very cruel place.

People without talent cannot surpass talented people no matter how hard they work. The most typical example is Yoshihiro Togashi. Although he fished for three days and dried nets for two days, Togashi's works are better than those who work hard. The sales of cartoonists are countless times better.

And the existence of Yoshihiro Togashi is like laughing at those cartoonists who are stupidly trying to climb up, telling them that what this industry requires is not hard work. If hard work is useful, then why do you need genius?

It is precisely because of this reason that the enthusiasm of countless cartoonists in the industry has gradually cooled down. Because no matter how hard they try, they cannot surpass talented people, so they can only change their methods and create according to their routines. Works, this is also the most fundamental reason why the current comic industry is stereotyped!
