1983 Past Life Manga King

Then they all greet each other with an awkward posture.

Her expressionless yet arrogant look exudes an aura that is difficult to approach normally.

She soon spoke to her editor-in-chief.

“Editor.”

“Oh yeah. What’s going on?”

Her editor-in-chief is equally hard on her.

“You are asking me to attend the board meeting now.”

“Well, that’s right. I see. you go first I’ll stop by the conference room and I’ll be there soon.”

“······Yeah.”

The two team leaders and Jiro headed to the publishing department through the stairs, and the editor-in-chief followed the female secretary to the elevator to the executive meeting room.

After a while, we arrived in front of the boardroom.

Knock. Knock.

When the secretary knocks on the door, the murmur in the conference room stops. Then the vice president’s voice was heard.

“Come in.”

Soon the female secretary opened the door and she greeted the executives, she said.

“I brought you.”

“Oh, yes. Well done.”

“then.”

The secretary greeted again and stepped back, and the editor entered the door.

However, as soon as you step inside, you feel a completely different atmosphere from your usual executive meeting.

But whatever the circumstances, the editor politely greeted him. Then the vice president’s voice came from one side.

“Sudo editor-in-chief. Now, come over here and have me sit down.”

“Yeah.”

At the invitation of the vice president, I approached the chair. But at that moment, a strange yet intense gaze is felt.

The gaze felt from the man in the upper center

As I walked towards it, I glanced at it and saw a person who didn’t usually attend board meetings.

And as soon as I realized who he was, I instantly felt his breath suffocate.

“···································································!

The actual owner of Mitsuda Shoten was Hiroyuki Mitsuda, the president of the company.

He is the second son of the former president, the man who pushed out his older brother and took over the president. His charismatic leadership is also quite famous in the company.

Even the executive director, who runs wildly without being afraid of the world, is as meek in front of him as a mouse in front of a cat.

He hears that he is the brother-in-law of President Hiroyuki, but the company doesn’t seem to do that at all.

I’ve seen him from a distance a few times anyway, but this is the first time I’ve seen him this close.

Especially when that person pays attention to himself.

As the editor-in-chief sits down, the boss looks at him with a strange expression and throws out a word.

“Is that the editor-in-chief of the boy hero?”

At that, the editor jumped up from his seat to sit down.

“Yep!”

“Ah, don’t say it with such a rigid posture. Because it’s embarrassing for people watching. Anyone who sees it will know that this is the army.”

“Ah yes. Oh, sorry.”

However, unlike horses, the body does not loosen easily. Seeing this, the boss clasped his chin with his right hand and smiled.

“Yeah, I just got a report that a rookie cartoonist sold 150,000 copies in a short period of time?”

“Yes, it is.”

He nodded his head and asked the vice president next to him.

“Did you say 150,000 copies in a few days?”

“It is said that 50,000 copies were sold out in one day, and 100,000 copies were reprinted in 5 days.”

“Oh, that’s great, that’s great.”

After saying that, I looked at the editor again this time.

“I heard that the newcomer is Korean.”

“Yeah.”

“It turned out that the rookie paid a lot of money. It was mostly air transportation.”

At that, the editor bowed his head in surprise.

“Sorry. that’s······.”

“Ah, I don’t mean to criticize you. Anyway, it seems that there was some talk in the executive meeting because of that.”

President Hiroyuki said so and glanced at the managing director. Then the managing director glanced at him and avoided his gaze.

Seeing that, he shifts his gaze to the editor again.

“You are great too. To take such a risk and let a Korean debut as a cartoonist here. Still, it was such a huge success, so in the end

work though. Still, it seemed a bit reckless from the company’s point of view.”

The manager’s expression brightened at the president’s words, and he interrupted.

“My brother-in-law, that’s why I…”

But when the boss glances back at him and bites his tongue, the manager frowns and bows his head.

“Sorry. boss. Anyway, that’s why I…”

“Don’t cut my words.”

“Ah, sorry.”

The president, who looked at him for a moment, turned his head back to the editor-in-chief.

“But thanks to such perseverance, I must have earned such a cartoonist. In today’s world that needs talented people, nationality doesn’t matter. And those two in boy heroes these days

What was the work?”

“It’s a genuine man and Pasiencia.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Oh yes, that. Even my youngest son likes Fasiencia. He only looked at other magazines he would meet, and for the first time, he liked the cartoons in our magazine. this

It’s a little different when it comes to Ren, but as a father, I feel a little proud.”

Saying so and smiling happily. Then the executives around him laughed along with him.

“Anyway, the number of magazine sales also increased after starting serialization of such works, so this is a blessing.”

“Thank you.”

“By the way, Managing Director Okada.”

To the sudden words of the president, the managing director stood up straight and answered.

“Oh, four! boss!”

“Hey, what kind of bet did you make with the editor?”

At that, the manager was startled.

“Ah, that’s… Not a bet, just for fun.”

“okay. What were you going to do when the editor-in-chief lost that fun?”

“Yeah? Well, what are you doing? just. What. haha.”

The managing director awkwardly scratches the back of his head and smiles, then winks at the boss’s expressionless gaze, then closes his mouth again.

“You said 100,000 copies?”

The managing director answered the president’s question with a dead face.

“······Yeah.”

“With 150,000 copies, the editor-in-chief wins anyway.”

At the president’s words, the managing director was embarrassed and said.

“······ So, it is by no means a bet…”

“Director, what did you bet on?”

“······Yeah?”

“If it is a bet, it should be fair. You must have walked on something.”

“Ah, nothing.”

“what? It’s an unfair bet.”

“No, it’s like an absolute bet…”

“Because of your personality, if the editor-in-chief had lost, at least I would have told you to step down.”

The manager, surprised by that, waved his hand and said.

“Oh my, boss. It can never be.”

However, the president ignored the words of the managing director and continued talking.

“You, too, bet that place…”

“Sir, boss. please forgive me.”

The manager bowed his head.

The president glanced at the executive director.

“It’s pathetic… Still, what a person with a reputation for not being able to do at best…”

When the boss kicked his tongue, the managing director just stayed with his head bowed.

Of course, the other directors who followed the managing director were also looking at each other and sweating profusely.

The president, who had seen such executives once, looked at the editor-in-chief again.

“Anyway, the editor did a great job. I am personally grateful that people like you work for our publishing house.”

“Oh, no. boss. Rather, I am honored.”

“vice president.”

“Yeah.”

“You give your money to the editorial department. Of course, in my name.”

“Yeah. boss.”

“You, no. Managing Director Okada.”

“Yep! Sir, sir.”

“You, too, return some of the dinner expenses to the other editorial department and other departments that worked hard this time.”

At that, the manager looked at him and said softly.

“If this is also the case…….. in the name of the boss…….”

“It’s your money.”

“Yeah?”

“Why. Any complaints?”

“Oh, no! Could it be? haha.”

Seeing the manager smiling in a cold sweat, the boss nodded his head and smiled as if satisfied.

“Good.”

End

Hearing Jiro’s story, he was startled.

“An additional 100,000 copies?”

– Yeah. Once it was set to 10,000 copies.

In the meantime, Samsara has already sold 150,000 copies.

Manga, which had been in the mid-range when it was serialized for a long time, sold a huge number of copies in such a short period of time, so it’s hard to feel it yet.

Even if the first 50,000 copies are thanks to the otakus, what is the 100,000 copies this time really? Did it really appeal to an adult readership?

Anyway, it seems that Samsara’s popularity is huge at this point.

– There are a few people I know at other comic book publishers. Samsara seems to be getting a lot of attention from that side as well. Recently, among rookies, like Samsara,

It seems that there are some people who draw. There are also comics based on time loops from time to time. Anyway, Samsara has a lot of influence on rookies.

It seems that these kinds of cartoons are coming out these days.

When a popular work comes out, the subtypes pour in.

Does the appearance of a manga similar to Samsara mean that it has also become a popular manga?

caught in a strange feeling.

I’ve lived my life by liking other people’s cartoons, but the stories I’ve made have an impact on others.

Just like the Hollywood movie ‘Blade Runner’ influenced the Japanese anime ‘Akira’ and ‘Ghost in the Shell’, which in turn influenced Hollywood’s ‘The Matrix’.

It may be that the crab is spinning.

– Thanks to you, I also received a daily salary from the boss this time. By the way, it would be great if even the boss had such a reaction.

“Ok?”

– Yeah.

Jiro, who was smiling as he said that, smirked and asked another question.

– When will the manuscript be published?

“Both Samsara and Pasiencia are due tomorrow.”

– Yeah. Okay. So, I wish you all the best this time.

“Yeah.”

As soon as I finish the conversation and hang up the phone, the family members in the studio stare intently at me with their bright eyes.

‘Come on, tell me more.’

It’s just those eyes.

“After all 100,000 copies have been sold, it is said that an additional 100,000 copies will be reprinted.”

“Then 150,000 copies have already been sold?”

Park So-mi asked with round eyes.

“Yeah. And······.”

Everyone is proud when they give a rough overview of the story they heard from Jiro.

“Wow, your manga is finally starting to have an impact on Japan as well. Somehow, I feel proud as a Korean.”

“right. It was a bit disappointing that the Olympics ended a while ago, but this time it feels like we won a gold medal in our studio.”

“By the way, what is that desk? I still care.”

Mija Jeong asked, pointing to the desk on one side of the studio. At first, I thought it was my desk, but now I’ve realized that it’s not.

All.

“There will be a new studio family soon. Because of Fasiencia.”

“uh? Then, maybe, Mr. Chu Yang-gu?”

“no. Yang-gu Chu had to continue working with the former teacher, so he was looking for someone who could take charge of the new character Penseon.”

“really? Choo Yang-gu, are you strong enough to replace the pen line?”

“Ah, that’s…”

I was about to say something, and then the studio door opened and Lee Dae-bong appeared.

“Long time no see everyone. How are you?”

Then all the people in the studio welcome Lee Daebong.
