Big Manga

Chapter 86 :success

Mengying is a twenty-year-old young man who has been serialized several times in “Weekly Shonen”.

debuted a year, he drew four short comics, three of which had poor reader survey results, and only one was successfully converted into a serial comic. But this serialized comic only lasted for two months, and it was cut down because of the decline in performance.

“Weekly Shonen” may be just a game place for comic geniuses, but in the eyes of Mengying, it is a high cliff that is difficult to climb. There is a big gap between his cartoons and mainstream cartoonists. He is good at modern warfare and depicts weapons such as tanks and battleships. This also leads to a very small audience.

Mengying firmly believes that his overall strength of comics is not worse than that of others, but his niche readers prevented him from supporting long-term serialization. He wanted to abandon the theme of war several times, but he was denied by the editor in charge, Zhang Xiu.

“Giving up what you are good at, how do you compete with others?”

Zhang Xiu’s words are still in his ears, which makes Mengying despair for a while, and he feels it is difficult for him to gain a foothold in the comics world if he wants to escape.

However, in despair, the genius who was unattainable in his eyes, He Xie, came up with a new theme, Gundam—a huge war robot. The moment he saw this robot, Mengying discovered , He had hope of success.

No one else in “Weekly Boys” can paint a robot as well as him. He studied all night and didn’t sleep for a few days, so he drove out the first manuscript with Zhang Xiu. And this manuscript, as expected, it was passed.

Mengying even cried when she received the news of her approval.

“I succeeded, succeeded!”

He hugged Zhang Xiu and cried. Zhang Xiu knew his pressure this year and invited him to eat barbecue after he finished crying. The two discussed comics and imagined the future in the rotisserie, and Mengying fell on the table in the not strong alcohol. He is so tired that he has basically never slept since the theme of Gundam came out.

Zhang Xiu carried him back home. Meng Ying lost his mind and remembered the hard work of this weak-looking editor. He was sweating profusely, and it took him almost an hour to carry Meng Ying home, and then gave it to his mother.

That night, Mengying vowed that he must succeed. He likes to draw comics, editors and all his colleagues who work hard for comics.

On Wednesday, “Weekly Shonen” is on sale. Mengying got up early and went out. Although he passed the review of Teacher He Xi, he still had to face cruel reader investigations.

This reader survey is more terrifying than ever before. As long as the previous comic shorts are ranked in the top ten of the survey results, they will have a chance to be serialized, but this survey must be ranked in the top three. And among the top three, one of the places has been taken by Mr. He Xi’s “Detective Conan”!

“Can it succeed?”

Mengying was a little nervous, he walked into the bookstore to observe. Although it is early, there are already people in the bookstore to buy “Weekly Youth”, and its sales are gradually increasing with He Xi’s popularity.

“Why is the magazine thicker than before? Boss, has the price risen again? Why is the Phoenix company like this? Originally, this magazine is only available for Detective Conan. Isn’t this deliberately cheating our money?”

A reader complained during the checkout.

“Don’t worry.” The bookstore owner scanned the barcode and explained with a smile: “The price is still the same, and the column “He Xi’s Guidance Room” has been added this week, and short comics drawn by Mr. He Xi instructing other cartoonists will be released.

“Is there any teacher’s guide cartoon?”

Readers immediately became interested: “Teacher He is really amazing. I remember he only debuted half a year ago? He can instruct other people in a blink of an eye, but also, if other cartoonists have one-third of the skills of Teacher He, I won’t hear people say bad things about “Weekly Boy” everywhere.”

“By the way, what kind of manga is that manga?”

“Sci-fi comics, the name seems to be Gundam, it looks very cool!” The bookstore owner’s eyes lit up, and he said with some excitement: “It is said that this theme is provided by Mr. He Xi. There will be a series of short stories in the next few weeks. You must have Look, it’s really good.”

“So good?” The reader checked out, picked up “Weekly Youth”, and looked at the introduction on the cover: “The new short story is “Gundam First Century”. The painter is Mengying teacher… Why haven’t I heard of this teacher? ”

“I haven’t heard of it. It doesn’t matter. He drew a Gundam very well. This subject matter is simply unprecedented.” The boss gave a thumbs up: “After reading this morning, there are robots fighting in my head. Sure enough, Steel War is a man’s comic, man It’s a blast!”

Hearing this, Mengying praised He Xi in her heart. Sure enough, the genius cartoonist didn’t blow it out. Just giving a subject can catch the reader’s heart. Mengying failed because of the niche subject, and many people don’t look at this subject.

But with a wave of his hand, Mr. He Xi turned the niche market into the public out of thin air, which is really impressive.

Although 　　 Gundam is science fiction, it is a robot driven by a human. It can be seen enthusiastically and heartily in the battle scene. It is completely different from the iron bumps of tanks and battleships. Tanks and battleships blasting cannonballs dullly is a war, how can there be a Gundam rushing up, it is a painful and refreshing meal! ?

“It can be successful!”

Mengying started to get excited He saw the reaction of the bookstore owner, and the survey was very successful.

As expected, the next day, the “Weekly Shonen” bulletin came out, “Gundam First Century” ranked second, and the editorial department was full of praise for He Xihe’s new subject matter. And Mengying got the opportunity of a new serialization and became the most anticipated cartoonist under Mr. He Xi, and it is foreseeable that “Gundam First Century” will be a long-term serialized comic.

The other cartoonists were shocked. The Gundam theme got off to a good start. Everyone was envious and hated. At the same time they were happy to Mengying, these cartoonists began to be more frantically prepared to contribute to the Gundam series. There will be opportunities in the next few weeks if they succeed in seizing the game. The serialization position, the future is the veteran of the Gundam series.

The following day, the “Weekly Girl” newsletter also came out. A new work in the Magical Girl series, “I’m a Junior High School Student and a Magical Girl” by Mr. Yoshiizu is ranked second only to “Inuyasha”.

Gundam, Magical Girl—In just one week, Meng Huo fulfilled half of what he promised to Xu Jing. Not only did the entire Phoenix Company cheer, even Xu Jing, who heard the news, couldn’t calm down. He burned his hands while making tea.

and Meng Huo…

When Alice told Meng Huo the result with excitement, he was unexpectedly calm.

“Really? Then I’m almost done…”

Meng Huo, who has obvious dark circles under his eyes, muttered. After a week of busy work, his new comics soon came out. The name is-“Five Centimeters Per Second”!

(Thanks to Mengying? And Jingsi for your reward!)
