1983 Past Life Manga King

“uh? You must be busy with Fasiencia and Samsara. Are you okay?”

“Yeah. It’s okay.”

However, the newcomers who were moving things around heard the story and pricked up their ears.

“Pasiencia, are you in charge of Samsara?”

“I heard that too.”

“Wow, you mean the editor in charge of two popular works?”

“envy.”

When the senior employee, who had been smirking at the newcomer’s gossip, frowns, everyone gets busy again.

“What is this?”

“Ah yes. This is a special edition book that was made at the request of author Sunny. Well, it’s a little too thin to be called a book.”

“Are you a Sunny writer?”

“Yeah.”

Senior staff members also look around with a curious expression. However, there is no way to confirm it as it is perfectly packaged and tied.

Soon he called in a few newcomers.

“Hey, the two of them, move to the book booth that Akagi-san brought.”

“Yeah.”

The two hurriedly begin to lift and carry the stacks of books.

Jiro also made preparations by carrying it between them.

After a while, I moved all my belongings to the inside of the booth, unpacked a bundle and placed it on the table.

And when I take out the booklet and organize it, some people look around, see the booklet, and approach it with interest.

The cover is made of blue color, but the picture is in black and white, so it looks a little sloppy.

The title is ‘Dark Princess’.

“Dark Princess? What is this cartoon?”

“I don’t know. Is it a new serialization in Boy Heroes?”

“Can I read this?”

“Yeah. There is a brochure here for viewing, so you can look at it.”

“Ah yes. thank you.”

The man who said so opens the book.

“uh? Is it a pencil drawing?”

“Yes. But is this picture familiar?”

“That’s right. It feels like samsara.”

“Wait a minute, isn’t this Kalpa?”

“uh? Really?”

End

The man who was scanning the sample book hurriedly asked the staff in front of him.

“This is Samsara, right?”

“Yeah? Samsara?”

The staff responded with a puzzled expression.

In fact, it is because I did not know what the books are now because I have not read them.

The staff immediately looked around. Then I found Jiro, who was talking with the senior nearby.

“Seniors!”

As he shouts, the two turn around.

“Akagi-senpai. Excuse me, can you help me here?”

Jiro approached the newcomer’s words.

“What’s up?”

“Yeah. They asked about this book.”

“Oh yeah?”

Having said that, Jiro approached the table and asked the people.

“Do you have any questions?”

“This is Samsara, right? Calfana from Samsara.”

“Yeah. Yes. You know.”

He nodded his head as he thought he knew it.

“Wow, is this a separate cartoon? Calpana as the main character?”

“no. That’s not it. This is a booklet created by the author Sunny for this Comiket by combining the set of comics and comics.”

It is not accurate to say that it was made for Comiket, but it was a story that was packaged appropriately. However, the reaction of those who heard the story was not serious.

“Is Writer Sunny only for Comiket?”

“Ah yes. I heard so.”

“Hey, did you hear this guy?”

“tremendous. It’s a manga created by Sunny for Comiket.”

“·················ogue.”

The young people who were looking through the books chatted with each other, and soon one of them asked Jiro.

“Then, are you saying this isn’t going to be published separately?”

“Yeah. As I just said…”

“How much is this?”

“Yeah?”

“This one. how much is it?”

“That… that.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

In fact, there is no set price for this special edition booklet.

Since it was started at the request of Sunny in the first place, the manuscript was not paid separately, and the publisher did not have any rights.

That’s why the publisher didn’t even think about the price.

It was just a job that the person in charge received, and the printing was supported by the publisher for publicity purposes.

Thanks to that, the rights to the book were entirely on Sunny’s side.

So it was Sunny to decide whether to distribute the book for free or sell it at a reasonable price.

However, for that part, Yoon-hwan completely left it to Ji-ro, who is in charge.

In the end, Jiro has to make a decision.

Of course, I only remembered what Yunhwan said, ‘I want to sell it like other doujinshi’, so I was going to decide on that level.

But the problem was that I didn’t know the exact price of other doujinshi.

So he whispered to the staff next to him.

‘Comiket doujinshi, how much is it usually?’

‘I do not know. Prices vary widely. However, the majority of participants are high school students and college students, so I know that the price is less than 500 yen.’

“It’s 500 yen.”

It was an acceptable price.

As the staff said, the majority of the participants were students, so considering their pocket money, 500 yen or less was the most reasonable price.

Of course, the people who came now seemed to be in their 20s or older.

Still, 500 yen is a bit expensive, so maybe 300 yen is appropriate…

That was the time I was thinking.

“This is 2,000 yen, right?”

“Yeah?”

“There’s a price tag on the back here.”

Saying so, show the back of the sample.

Indeed, as he said, there is a small 2,000 yen sticker on the back of the sample.

what is that

Upon closer inspection, there was a sticker that said 2,000 yen, but it was not posted here.

“Ah, that’s…”

While packing at the print shop, only the sample was removed there, and it seems that the sticker was stuck somewhere.

Since the printing house also printed stickers related to it, it must have been one of those stickers.

Jiro was in a hurry to explain, but people started talking among themselves.

“Isn’t that a bit expensive?”

“What are you talking about? You heard about it before. You said that Sunny made it only for Comiket. Then you’re saying that’s all there is to it.”

“like that.”

“There, uncle. Can one person buy multiple copies of this?”

I was blown away by the word uncle.

And as he tried to tell them that he was younger than he looked, he stopped when he saw their twinkling eyes.

At that moment, I realized that publicity, not sales, was important.

“No, that is not possible. No, more than that, let’s talk about the price…”

“Oh, I’m sorry. Then we can all buy one.”

“okay.”

“Come here.”

After saying that, he pays a lot of money, buys one book at a time, and leaves.

“···········?”

Jiro was blankly holding the banknote in his hand.

I was going to ask for the price to be around 400 yen, but it was decided that it was just 2,000 yen while I was crazy. Still, people feel no resistance to the price.

I bought it without it and left.

“Wow, this book costs 2,000 yen? It’s amazing.”

“I was surprised to hear the price too.”

“Nevertheless. Looking at it earlier, it seemed like they were buying it with the feeling that it was cheaper.”

“Yeah, I will.”

Newcomers are also snooping on the doujinshi to see if they are curious.

Maybe it was a natural thing for them.

I know that the Samsara monograph is about 300 yen, but since it is a little bigger, the price of a booklet with a total of about 40 pages including short stories and setting pictures is the price.

That 2,000 yen is an absurd level.

Then the senior intervened in their conversation.

“What kind of stupid things are the guys who joined the publishing house talking about. The price of a book printed in bulk is the same as a book printed in only 500 copies for this event.

can you?”

“Ah.”

“I think so.”

She nodded her head as if she understood.

Hearing that conversation, Jiro’s expression changed strangely.

In fact, from the beginning, it was just a book that was printed with the idea of ​​distributing it at a low price, so it was because it was not a matter of mass or anything.

So, the goal itself is to distribute books to as many people as possible.

Of course, if you give it away for free, it’s not worth it, so you can’t do it.

Anyway, thanks for giving me a headache.

Thanks to the extreme fans, he accidentally sold a few books, but has already received a huge sum of 2,000 yen.

In this state, it is impossible to sell a cheap price to others, so it has become more difficult to sell so many books.

“Ah, my head hurts. How can we sell everything in three days at this price?”

One of the newbies standing next to Jiro was surprised by Jiro’s self-talk.

“Yeah? 3 days?”

“Why?”

“Comiket is one day.”

“What?”

“Did you not know? It has been a one-day event so far.”

Jiro hurriedly looked at the Comiket catalog in the booth.

The cover says only one day.

“No, it’s ruined.”

When Yunhwan said it was 3 days, he only thought to himself that it would be 3 days.

But when you think about it, it wasn’t unusual.

The reason why Yunhwan said 3 days is because it could have been his misunderstanding. And even if it wasn’t, he might have heard it wrong.

After all, he is only responsible for not checking properly.

Anyway, that doesn’t matter now.

Now is the time to think about how to sell all these books in front of you today.

But it ran into difficulties from the start.

If I had decided on a cheap price from the beginning, I wouldn’t know if the decision was made with a huge sum of 2,000 yen…

“How the hell are you going to sell all this in one day?”

“It will be difficult.”

“Is that so too?”

“of course. I was a bit interested, so I looked into it. It is said that there were about 2,000 clubs that participated here as of last year. There are only 10 places that sold more than 800 copies.

It was a place. Of course, the price ranges from 100 to 400 yen. Of course, it was the most famous club in the country. Well, it is said that about 2,400 editions participated this year, but that

Raedo…….”

“Ah······.”

Jiro grabbed his head.

He wasn’t asked to sell 500 copies in one day. However, it was not the first time I asked the person in charge. But it was ruined by his own stupidity

ended up

Whether or not they knew Jiro’s heart, the newcomers kept him by his side and chatted.

“At 2,000 yen, that’s a really great price. A 96-page Comiket catalog costs 200 yen.”

“Yeah. Can you sell that much?”

“Ah, those people just bought it.”

“You know just by looking at it. You must be a big fan of Samsara.”

“Still, you don’t know. There must be many such people here.”

“It is difficult to confirm that there are many such fans here. And to be honest, 2,000 yen is way too expensive. It is not easy to sell 500 copies in one booth here.”
