God Descends the Second Element

"Editor-in-Chief Iida, please make sure to focus on cultivating Shiina Mashiro-sensei's storytelling ability. I believe everyone has seen Shiina Mashiro-sensei's potential."

Horiuchi Marue looked at Iida Ayano, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he continued to say calmly: "To be honest, this time Shiina Mashiro's results completely exceeded my imagination, and of course I will not ask Iida The editor-in-chief trained Mr. Shiina Mashiro to be like Mr. Kamizhu, because that is too difficult for others. After all, geniuses like Mr. Kamizhu are too rare.

And everyone knows Mashiro Shiina’s storytelling ability, so I just hope that Editor Iida can cultivate Mashiro Shiina’s storytelling ability to an ordinary level. I hope Editor Iida can do this! "

In fact, everyone present knows that the reason why the Five Centimeters Per Second manga version is as popular as it is now is partly due to Shiina Mashiro's paintings, but the most fundamental reason is still related to the god.

The most important thing about comics is the plot, followed by the style.

They have all seen Mashiro Shiina's submission before. The style of painting is the same as that of the current Five Centimeters per Second comic version. People can't find anything to criticize. However, the plot is so blank that it makes people want to go crazy after reading it. It can be said that it is simply There is no such thing as plot!

No matter how excellent the painting style of the work is, as long as there is no plot, it is still garbage!

Because this is a comic, a common reading material for people to watch, used to satirize or praise life or current events, etc. In simple terms, it means to show the story that the creator wants to tell through painting. This is comics.

If there is no plot at all, it is just some pictures that are not considered comics at all. Even if these pictures are very beautiful, they are still of no use. At best, they are just good-looking pictures.

Editors will not agree, and readers will not buy it.

In fact, before this, everyone only had some expectations for Mashiro Shiina, because his storytelling ability was so poor that people couldn't complain about it, and the expectations they held in their hearts were just for the reputation of a world-class genius painter.

Nowadays, the sales volume of the comic version of Second Five has forced them to face this issue again. Even though everyone knows that the popularity of the comic version of Second Five is largely related to the plot, it still does not hinder the enthusiasm of the editors.

After hearing Horiuchi Marue's request, how dare Iida Ayano not agree? After all, we are still in a meeting, and the other party is the president of the entire Shueisha, and can be said to be the immediate boss of everyone present.

Moreover, even without the reminder of Horiuchi Marue, Iida Ayano has been teaching Mashiro how to tell stories recently. After joining Shueisha's editorial department as the editor-in-chief, she was responsible for only two cartoonists.

One didn't have to worry her at all, and the other was a big worry for her.

But now it seems that the one she doesn't need to worry about is causing the entire editorial department to worry.

Thinking of this, Iida Ayano secretly smiled in her heart, but on the surface she replied seriously to Horiuchi Marue, "President, please rest assured that in addition to me, Mr. Shinshu is also helping to cultivate Shiina Mashiro's storytelling ability. It may be a bit long, but overall it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Kitahara hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but said in a low voice: "I think how about letting Second Five be serialized in Weekly Jump next time? This can alleviate the sales crisis, and can also further improve the reputation, and even It can buy more time for Weekly Jump to find better comics for serialization, which is like killing three birds with one stone!"

"It's true that this method is good. Teacher Yoshihiro Togashi can only delay it for a while. If it is done in seconds, it will be no problem at all. It will leave our editorial department longer. I agree with this plan!"

"Yes, as long as there is time, everything will not be a problem."

Listening to the naked discussion around him, Ibaraki Masahiko, who originally smiled like a flower and planned to be a spectator today, finally couldn't sit still anymore. He quickly opened his eyes and unreasonably reached out and slapped the table. , "No! The comic version of Second Five has been serialized in "Jump SQ". It is impossible to suddenly change the comic magazine to serialize it now, right? And even if Second Five is serialized in the weekly Jump, I think it will only make others Look at the joke, I believe the headquarters won’t just sit idly by and ignore it!”

At the end of the sentence, Ibaraki Masahiko finally couldn't help but add a sentence at the end. When he mentioned the headquarters, the expressions of the editors who had just been talking became gloomy.

And it is true that as Ibaraki Masahiko said, if something like this happens, the headquarters will definitely take action to manage it. When the time comes, it will be a big loss if it loses face. The most important thing is that Shueisha's credibility will also lose a lot.

Even if "Jump SQ" is also owned by Shueisha, what's going on when the manga version of Second Five that was being serialized in "Jump SQ" was suddenly serialized in Weekly Jump? Shouldn’t it be a joke for Kodansha, Shogakukan and the majority of manga fans? !

Editor-in-chief Matsumoto naturally knew this, but he still couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. In fact, he also felt a little regretful in his heart. If he had chosen to insist on serializing the Second Five comic version in Weekly Jump, the current crisis problem would have been greatly reduced.

But now we can't really let Second Five serialize in another place. Shueisha can't afford to lose face. Although Editor-in-Chief Matsumoto was worried a lot, he still kept a serious expression on his face. He glanced at the other editors who were a little flustered and said, She yelled, "Why are you panicking? The sky has not fallen yet. Weekly Jump is still Neon's number one comic magazine in terms of sales. It has not fallen to the point where it needs to rely on other comic magazines for relief."

Now there are full-time hunters serialized by Mr. Yoshihiro Togashi. You don’t need to worry too much. You just need to do your job well and do your best in the next time. If you want us to give up the leading position, you can Not that easy! ! "

As soon as these words came out, the originally impetuous editor calmed down. This was out of trust in Editor-in-Chief Matsumoto and confidence in Shueisha.

Hearing this, Ibaraki Masahiko felt a little embarrassed. After all, he once served as the editor-in-chief of Shueisha, so he could think from others' perspective very well, but even so, he was just thinking about it in his heart.

Now that he has become the full-time editor-in-chief of "Jump SQ", he naturally has to put the interests of "Jump SQ" first, and "Jump SQ" has no fault in this matter.

Horiuchi Marue shook his head when he saw this scene. Whether it was Weekly Jump or "Jump SQ", as the president of Shueisha, it was impossible for him to show too much favoritism to any party because the palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh.
