Yajima nodded at Mukai’s words.

“Yeah, where you’d expect it to be.”

“Then, are you Tengen-sensei?”

At that, Yajima tilted her head.

“I don’t think that’s the case, and I think Mr. James would know, because you don’t talk like that.”

Because of her story, she was usually Yajima, who often talked to Lee Dae-bong, but when she asked a question implicitly because of her curiosity, she avoided her answer as if she was jumping over a wall.

The feeling that she knew something with it was what she had received.

“Anyway, Teacher Kido also has a strong helper, so it will be more difficult to deal with in the future.”

“That’s right. He’s already a high-ranking yangban, and that’s it. He even gave me wings.”

“This is the story of Won and Jungwon Cooking King as good as this, but other comics seem to be running away from it.”

“Don’t be too impatient, there’s still plenty of time. Oh, I almost forgot.”

Having said that, Yajima hurriedly opened her bag, pulled out a magazine, and showed it to Mukai.

“What is this?”

“Cookbook.”

“I know it’s a cookbook, but why are you showing me this all of a sudden?”

“Look at this.”

Saying so, she rummaged through the cookbook and opened it to see if she found the page she wanted, and she showed it to Mukai.

“It’s a special feature called “Manga Cooking,” and here we are introduced to our Jungwon Cooking King, and look at this. There is also a scene where we personally demonstrated dishes from the manga.”

“Huh? It’s true.”

Along with a short article, a female culinary expert demonstrates the dish, and there is a photo that the public can taste later.

“Before, I had done the Master of Taste episode, but it was well received at that time, so this time I did the Jungwon Cooking King side. But this time the response was better than the previous time. Because of this, the broadcasting station also contacted me that they wanted to try a cooking show that appears in our cartoons.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Maybe if I go on this program, the popularity of the manga will increase even more. Of course, it’s a bit flawed that the target audience is a housewife.”

It was because of the thought that the popularity of the magazine would not increase significantly even if it appeared on the Housewives Grand Prize since it was serialized in a boys’ magazine.

“I don’t care, the paperback will still sell a little more, right?”

“That’s right, it’s probably because they promote it on TV.”

“Okay then. After all, isn’t a manga artist fighting a monograph?”

At that, Yajima smiled broadly and nodded her head.

“Of course.”

The editorial department of Boy Heroes.

The staff members were chatting with the boy hero who came out this time with a sincere male side.

“Wow, this feels like a blow in the head. To make a story like this. I never imagined it.”

“I also asked why in the first place why the men’s binding came out like that, but it must have been a strategy calculated from the beginning.

“Somehow, after a few days, he even canceled what was supposed to be the first color, so I thought Tegoshi was crazy. There’s no way anyone in charge of giving up the first color. But he was preparing for this.”

“By the way, I really like the content. It has a unique feel to it because it has a strange feeling of being funny and sad.”

“That’s right. It feels like a different gag has been added to the existing height of the teacher.”

“I found this gag a bit subtle.”

“I was fine.”

“Anyway, there will be some impact this time? Doesn’t the ranking change?”

“This one’s a little taller. By the way, it’s a strategy that doesn’t look like a teacher for your usual height? Is it Tegoshi’s idea?”

Saying that, he turned his gaze to the empty seat of Tegoshi.

Another employee who was looking at the place said.

“Well. This is not a problem that can only be solved with just an idea, so the fact that the story hidden in the middle shines cannot be explained only by Mr. Kido and Tegoshi.”

“What about Tegoshi-san?”

“It’s a secret.”

“There seems to be something too.”

“So.”

Then the deputy editor claps his palms.

“Hey, break time is over, so go to work, work. Don’t just pay attention to the work of others in charge, but pay attention to your own teacher.”

At those words, the staff scatters with an arrogant impression.

They want to do the same, but how easy is that?

It’s not uncommon for a work of art to collapse as it is if you touch it with the wrong hand. It’s a clumsy idea, and it’s something I can’t just say.

The deputy editor is well aware of that.

However, it is also true that the status of a magazine cannot be raised in such a way alone, and the editor-in-chief approached the deputy editor who was so engrossed in thoughts.

“Still, this one is great. Just sticking a few sheets gives such an effect.”

“I see. Magazines sometimes do this, but it wasn’t anything special, and it’s a good way to write it like this.”

“I think this event will create a place to imitate.”

“It can be mimicked, but this effect is unreasonable. It is an event-based method even if you look at it right away.

“Yeah, that’s right. This time, it’s a really, really, really well-written story.”

Saying that, I look around the inside of the editorial department, and I see an employee who has been busy working since before.

Otake, who recently moved to the editorial department here.

He used to be part of the weekly Fire editorial, but it’s Nishida from Esper John.

When the company was completely established here, Nitta, who was in charge, moved into this place at the same time that he moved to another place.

Nishida strongly recommended her as her manager, so she did it, and in the end, the decision was right.

As soon as the role was changed, the popularity of Esper John began to skyrocket again.

Esper John, who fell to fifth place, moved up to second place.

The man of sincerity, who was pushed to third place thanks to this, also tried a new serialization like this time. As a result, they influence each other and grow together.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

What started out as one samsara at first has grown to five signboard cartoons.

Thanks to this, Mitsuda Shoten has achieved the highest number of sales since its founding.

However, it is still lacking in awareness.

Although it is steadily gaining popularity, it is not comparable to Japan’s best Boy Jump, Magazine, and Sunday.

However, thanks to this growth, the company also increased support for the editorial department.

The number of employees is increasing, salaries, and so on. Recently, the editorial department has been expanded by moving to another department on the same floor.

Thanks to this, the department that employees most want to go to within the company has now become the Boy Hero editorial department.

Of course, the positions I envy the most are the editors in charge of five cartoonists, and in particular, Jiro, who is in charge of a total of three works, including the Dark Princess serialized in Big Hero, is the person receiving the most attention from the company.

Even people from other departments who are not related at all know Jiro.

I’ve heard that there are quite a few editors who pay attention to Jiro.

It is impossible for him as long as he has his eyes open like this.

The editor-in-chief was thinking like that, and Jiro was entering the editorial department just in time.

But he is coming in with a lot of boxes on his back.

At least it will be a fan letter or a gift from fans.

He who had just had an elite image in his head has turned into a chore at a local construction site.

The editor who saw it clicked his tongue.

“Is that the editor or the porter?”

“I’m in charge of three of the most popular cartoons, so it’s only natural.”

The assistant editor replied with a smile.

Then, Yajima, who was in the booth near the entrance of the editorial department, approached them.

“Chief, would you like to see this?”

When he held out the yellow envelope, the editor looked at it with a puzzled expression.

“Isn’t this the rookie school you just met?”

“Yes. Take a look.”

Normally, the editor-in-chief makes a decision, but to bring it to the editor-in-chief means something special.

The editor took out the manuscript from the envelope with a curious expression and looked at it.

And soon he said in amazement.

“Huh? Is this painting… similar to Samsara?”

“The content is also samsara.”

“What?”

Not Red (2)

The surprised editor hurriedly began to scan the manga. And after he has gone through all the contents along with the picture, he looks at Yajima with a surprised expression.

“A painting is a painting, but as you said, it’s a new story based on Samsara and the content, right?”

“Yeah, I was surprised by that too. I made up a new story with a perfect understanding of the world. People who don’t know will think it’s just Samsara.”

“I think there are many people who will be deceived by people you know.”

“Actually, I was mistaken at first too. They were so similar, but when I looked closely, I noticed something different.”

As Yajima sticks out her tongue and speaks, the deputy editor at this time examines the manuscript. Then she made a face similar to that of the editor.

“Even if it’s just Sunny, I think most people will believe it. There are many people who draw cartoons similarly, but it wouldn’t be easy to make the story feel like this.”

“When I asked, he said he belonged to the Samsara Research Society. I’m an office worker, but he said he’s usually a big fan of Samsara. He said that he collects everything related to Samsara. Oh. He said it took two months to complete this manuscript. ”

“Actually, it’s not easy for one person to do this kind of detail. I must say that it’s amazing to have such a quality in just two months while working for a company.”

“That’s right. To be honest, no matter how simplified Samsara’s drawings were from the beginning, the details are amazing.”

“Ha. But really, there are people like this.”

The editor continues to look at the manuscript in surprise.

The deputy editor next to him looked at Yajima and asked.

“Because there are many newcomers who imitate the style and feeling of painting. I think it would be fine with this level of skill, so do you have any plans for an original work? We can collect fish and attach them to you.”



But Yajima had a troubled expression on her face.

“No, that’s… the person who brought this manuscript… I have no interest in anything other than Samsara.”

At those words, the editor, who continued to look at the manuscript, raised his head.

“…what do you mean? Then what did you come here for? You didn’t come here to become a cartoonist, did you?”

“I don’t want to draw any other manga other than Samsara. But I really want to publish my short stories in a magazine. Now they say it’s a dream.”

The deputy editor-in-chief was astonished at those words.

“… Samsara manga? What a stupid thing to say? There is an original, and it’s already being serialized, and someone else is drawing another manga based on the same original. Besides, Sunny can’t just stand still.”

“So I want to do it with the permission of the original author. It’s good even if it’s a short story. They asked me to do it. They said that the cost of the manuscript doesn’t matter. I was making a story that I really wanted to appear in the original, so I got the manuscript…”

Even Yajima is worried because this is the first time this has happened. In the end, I talked to the editor.

“Still, that’s unreasonable in cases like this…”

“If Sunny’s side allows it, there’s no problem.”

As the editor intervened, the deputy editor’s eyes widened.

“Come on, Editor-in-Chief!”

“Even if this has never happened before, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with trying it if there’s no problem. But if the original author doesn’t allow it, there’s no reason to discuss this issue anymore.”

“Is it all right? If I put something like this in a magazine…”

“Well, how about it. It’s not a serialization, it’s a short story, and if it’s well received, you can try other writers’ works. Plus. Our magazine is not very popular with newcomers. This event helps attract newcomers who are active in fanzine I think this will be it.”

At those words, the deputy editor nodded with a look that made sense.

“Maybe so. But as the editor-in-chief said, I think it’s better to listen to Samsara’s story first.”

Saying that, he looked at Jiro, who was still sorting out the boxes.

“Huh? It wasn’t there before, so when did you come? If I had known this would happen, I’d have seen him before sending him off.”

Yajima, who found Jiro just then, muttered.

Immediately, the deputy editor called Jiro.

“Hey, Jiro.”

Jiro, who had stopped at those words, turned around.

“Yeah?”

“Come here and see.”

As the deputy editor beckoned, Jiro roughly put the boxes away and went straight to the place where the three of them were gathered.

“what happened?”

“When are you going to Korea?”

“I’m leaving tomorrow.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Would you like to take a look at this?”

“…?”

***

“uh?”

I was surprised to see the copied manuscript.

At first glance, it looks like a picture drawn by Seon-hee, and the drawings are so similar.

Of course, it’s a bit disappointing in detail, but unless you’re an expert like us, it’s not a big deal.

No, what’s even more surprising is the content.

Samsara’s worldview is clear, but it’s something I’ve never thought about.

The impact of a new dimension with time, and the loopholes created by using these complexities, have not yet been properly found, and this explains it even.

So. It’s making the world I’ve created more solid.

“Who drew this?”

“He came to the editorial department. I heard that he was an office worker.”

“Are you an aspiring cartoonist?”

Jiro scratched his head at my words.

“That’s subtle.”

“Subtle? For what?”

“It seems that he is not interested in the original work. He just wants to draw Samsara.”

“Yeah?”

What do you mean?

So, is it just a manuscript drawn on a doujinshi?

Doujinshi writers of my time in my life may not know, but now doujinshi doesn’t make money, so it’s a bit of a waste to draw a picture of this quality.

there Didn’t you compensate for the holey setting?

The effort put into this may go far beyond my imagination.

Of course, it’s just a fanfiction as it is, but then, why did you have to go to Boy Heroes?

“It seems that he really wants to put this short story. That’s the reason he made the story he wanted to appear in Samsara himself.”
