I just feel like I can’t sleep because I think I’ll just do nothing and get hurt.

To be honest, it is true that at first, I thought about borrowing the power of a publishing company.

Maybe I could hire a lawyer and try to file a lawsuit properly, and I thought about leaking the contents to the media.

However, in the end, there is a high possibility that such a method will only make the work famous and attract a lot of aggro. Then it could be like helping that person make money without getting much.

And once you start doing such a thing, time and money are consumed tremendously.

Even if he wins, there is a high possibility that it will be an honor that only hurts.

In that case, I just came up with the idea of ​​meeting someone in person to solve it.

And seeing how angry he was like that, honestly, he seemed to have calmed down, and it was when he was engrossed in such frivolous thoughts.

Park Sang-sik looks at me and asks.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes? Why me?”

“That kind of guy, shaking it might make you feel a little cooler, but it might not be good for you if you just scratch it and make it crumble.”

“It’s fine. I’m not affected.”

Jeon Sang-gil laughed at my words.

“Hey, you have nothing to do with the Korean comics world.”

“I’m rather worried that the author will harass the teacher.”

Jeon Sang-gil laughs at my words.

“Haha, don’t worry about that. I’m not weak enough to be attacked by an idiot like that. And I don’t know what you think of it, but I’m well known for my name.”

“Ah yes.”

“But what’s the reaction? Are you saying I got help from your story?”

“I didn’t say anything.”

“Okay.”

Jeon Sang-gil made a slightly crooked expression, and after a while he smiled.

“Hey, would you notice the Korean market like this well?”

Having said that, he took a cigarette out of his pocket, bit it in his mouth, and lit it with a nice match.

Looking at it, it’s easy to understand why people in the past used to smoke especially so much.

In the future, there aren’t many scenes of smoking on TV in the future, but in this era, not only dramas but also scenes of smoking and interviewing are common. To that extent, society as a whole is accustomed to smoking.

Just looking at the streets right now, there are trash cans and sand cans to throw away street cigarette butts everywhere.

Anyway, he takes a deep sip of his cigarette and then exhales. Then he immediately opened his mouth again.

“It can’t be compared to Japan, but Korea has improved a lot these days. Manga artists’ income has improved, and the number of comic book stores is increasing all over the country, and they say that serialization is going well. There will be Asian Games next year, and the Olympics will be held three years later. Thanks to that, the government seems to be trying to increase cultural support in order to show something abroad.”

“……i See.”

“Now is a good time. It will get better in the future. In the future, cartoonists will also be able to live quite well.”


“……”

I laughed bitterly at Jeon Sang-gil’s words.

When I was living, there are writers who are quite famous for their webtoons, and there are people who are famous for appearing on TV, but by today’s standards, it is quite a distant future.

After about 10 years, the dark period came in earnest, and the comics world was in a mess for almost 20 years.

However, since he has no idea that such a thing will happen, Jeon Sang-gil seems to only see a rosy future.

Well, maybe it’s natural.

Because the atmosphere was like this at the time.

I remember hearing somewhere that humans are creatures that feed on hope, but in this era, it is a world in which the truth is that the future is bright.

In a few years, of course, Korea will enter an advanced country, and in the 21st century, with the development of a tremendous scientific civilization, space travel will occur.

It is not thinking at all about the bad variables that will happen in the future.

Of course, it is true that there is a fear of nuclear war because it is the Cold War era in which the Soviet Union and the United States are facing each other.

the next afternoon,

I got a call from Jeon Sang-gil.

– He called me in the morning and said lengthy how much he was insulted yesterday.

“So what did you say?”

– What do I have to say? I just said, ‘Oh my gosh, that friend can’t do that, I didn’t see it that way, yes, I’ll see Tyler when we meet.’

say so and laugh

“Is that so?”


-Huh. Still, he said that if he met you again one day, he would give him a hug. And he said he would never let him set foot in the comics world. how much i laughed when i heard that

It’s good to see what the situation is.

Anyway, after finishing the phone call with Jeon Sang-gil, the Hwaroom family are curious about what happened yesterday. In particular, Lee Dae-bong tenaciously dug in.

So when I told him what had happened, he giggled and laughed.

“Wow, it’s cool inside. Well done.”

Other people seem to be having a lot of fun.

However, Park Sang-sik looked a little worried.

“Is it all right? I’m a member of the association.”

“It has nothing to do with us.”

“Is that so?”

Then Mi-ryung and Jun-mo enter the living room floor, led by Kyung-hee’s hand. It seems that he just came in because of the heat after playing in the yard.

“Mom.”

“Uh, did you have a good time?”

“Huh.”

Mi-ryeong, who was sitting on her sofa, her mother hugs her child.

Oh, come to think of it, Mi-ryung forgot that her mother was sitting on the sofa on one side of her studio.

It is so quiet that I sometimes forget that I am there.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

But a few days later, I got a call from Jeon Sang-gil again.

Then he delivered some interesting news.

– Did you hear that?

“Yes? What?”

– Park Gil-sang, the author, seems to have suddenly undergone a tax audit.

“Yes? Tax audit?”

What’s happening all of a sudden?

-okay. It’s natural, but it seems like tax evasion has happened, but actually, this isn’t common.

“I would.”

– By the way, it is coincidental that it happened after the dispute with you,

“……”

– Do you, by any chance, know of any high-ranking public officials?

“Hey, what kind of person am I without a relationship with a public official…

– Really? Are you sure?

“Why all of a sudden?”

– No, I remember what happened before.

He tilted his head at Jeon Sang-gil’s words.

“What happened before?”

– What was it before? Flatfoot striker You just got burned on Children’s Day last year. And it was on the bad manga list, don’t you remember?

“Of course I remember. But why?”

-You said that you were suddenly removed from the list. Rather, the person who fucked me at that time was beaten again.

“Yes, that is correct.”

– At that time, honestly, I had a strong feeling that someone intervened.

At that, I narrowed my brow.

“then…….”

-okay. What do you have in common with then and now?

“You think it has something to do with me.”

– That’s right, there’s nothing in common other than that.

Come to think of it, it seems like it, but

ah, though

“It must be a coincidence. As I said before, not a single public official I know…”

uh?

What?

If you look at it that way, isn’t it that you don’t know any public officials at all?

I think Mi-ryung heard that his father was some kind of high-ranking official.

But she’s never met her, so I’m not sure if you could call it a network.

By the way,

When I think about it, I also remember that Miryung had come to play a few days ago.

After thinking for a moment, she shook her head.

No matter how you think about it, the leap is too severe.

– Why are you suddenly speechless? Have you thought of anything?

Still, there’s no need to talk to Jeon Sang-gil. I don’t know if there is any misunderstanding.

I’ll have to look around.

“No. Come to think of it, one of the people I know is an office worker.”

– Office staff?

A roar of laughter is heard over the phone.

-okay. Like you said, it’s just a coincidence.

“That’s right. It’s just a coincidence.”

Yes, it must be a coincidence.

spy? (One)

Boy Hero Editorial Department.

After lunch, the editorial staff gather in the break room to chat.

“Is that true? Samsara really said that the first edition was 300,000 copies?”

One of the staff asked with a look of astonishment.

“Yes. I heard it’s the first boy hero.”

“As far as I know, none of the comics serialized in Boy Heroes have surpassed 300,000 copies in the first edition. Anyway, it’s really amazing.”



“The editor-in-chief insisted that more should be done, but the head of the publishing house again objected, so that’s about it.”

“Really, it’s Samsara. Come to think of it, these days, if you look at comics serialized in our magazines, there are a lot of works that exceed 100,000 copies in the first edition, right?”

“The magazine sold over 400,000 copies now. I heard that it will reach the 500,000 mark soon.”

“How many copies are over 100,000 copies now?”

“I heard that there are 5 works. Samsara, the man of sincerity, Esper John, Faciencia, and the king of cooking in the midfield.”

“Is the Jungwon Cooking King already 100,000 copies?”

“Yes. The 2nd volume that came out recently sold a little over 100,000 copies.”

All of them look envious of those words.

The gap between the five works leading the current boy hero and the other works is growing day by day.

Of course, in recent years, more and more comics are making the first edition of more than 50,000 copies, so it is true that the overall development has grown considerably.

“Now, our Weekly Shonen Hero seems to be becoming a major magazine.”

“I will. Since Samsara, we have made tremendous progress.”

“Up until the beginning of last year, who would have thought that it would grow this far?”

“I heard that there are a lot of people who want to move here from other magazines.”

“It’s not just the staff. The number of active writers has also increased recently.

A few days ago, a cartoonist from Boy Jump also came to visit.”

“Oh, I heard about that too. But what did you decide to do?”

“I think we’ll start testing with 5 episodes next month.”

“Wow, aren’t you just doing the serialization right away?”

“He said yes.”

“Wow, our magazine is strong.”

“Yeah.”

say so and laugh

“By the way, our Kamiyama-sensei should also work hard, but the rankings are already so low that it’s in jeopardy.”

“What about our Hayashida-sensei, and she often goes into hiding because she doesn’t want to write a manuscript, so I’m not going crazy?”

“Still, Hayashi Da-sensei is talented, so she won’t be cut off.”

“Hey, that’s why I’m more upset. I have talent, but I don’t want to use it.”

Then another employee came into the break room and said,

“Did you see this?”

Saying that, he waved the magazine he was carrying.

At that time, people looking at the large swimsuit bromide that came out of the magazine frowned.

“Hey, what if you carry stuff like that without notice? It’s not even our magazine.”

“That’s right. Didn’t you come to your senses even after being insulted by the deputy editor like that before?”

Then she folded the swimsuit bromide back into the magazine and said:

“Oh my gosh, it’s not like this.”

“No, what is it?”

“Not a single word that comes out of your mouth is worthwhile.”

“This time it’s real.”

“I really like it.”

He was usually a bluffing employee, so he was called a shepherd boy.

With such a pitiful gaze, he quickly turned the page, then pushed it in and opened it wide.

“This, this!”

He opens the page, and there is a scene where a man in a big cat’s mask is signing autographs.

The employees’ eyes widened when they saw it.

“Huh? This. Is this the picture of the autograph that Jiro and Otage-san attended before?”

“That’s right. Is this from a magazine?”
