1983 Past Life Manga King

“Yeah.”

When the fishermen heard that, they stopped working, looked at each other, and then stood up. Then they gathered around where we were.

“Can’t I take a look too?”

“Me too.”

The fishermen raise their hands and say.

“Of course it does. Here it is.”

Michiko handed the remaining book to Somi Park.

Then the fishermen gather around Park So-mi. But soon his expression turns dark.

They gathered because they were curious, but these friends don’t know Japanese, so it’s a natural reaction.

“Oh really. It’s a pity that I don’t know Japanese at times like this.”

As Koo Ja-hee spoke with a sigh, Park So-mi immediately turned to her Silver and spoke.

“Hey there, Silver. Please explain here.”

As she says so, she rushes over to Silver at work with a magazine.

Since Kyung Hee and Seon Hee are obsessed with magazines, it seems like they did something to ask.

Michiko also doesn’t have the ability to explain to them. Still, she seems to be able to have simple conversations while in charge of Mi-Ja Jung.

Anyway, she puts on a face that Silver is in trouble because of the sudden crowd of fishes. However, unlike that expression, the translation is done properly.

After reading a few, Silver immediately made a shaky expression.

“······ As a fan, if you do your best… I can’t do it anymore.”

In the end, when she pushed the book away as if she couldn’t do it, Somi Park held onto Silver and stretched out.

“Please, brother.”

“Noisy! just take it It gets in the way.”

Astonished, the fishy fish retreated from Silver.

“Oh, what a surprise! My brother is real!”

“I think it will all come to Mi-ja unnie.”

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

Silver flinched and surprised at Park So-mi’s words.

Kido’s studio.

“Unbelievable!”

Kido jumped up from his seat with a surprised face. And he couldn’t take his eyes off the magazine.

Then Nishida, who was standing in front of Kido’s seat, said:

“I was surprised too. I never imagined that cartoonists from other magazines would do this kind of work. And this is not the only magazine that left such a review.”

At that, Kido looked at Nishida with a surprised expression and looked away from the magazine.

“Then…is there more like this?”

“It looks like that. There are only four books I’ve seen, but from what I’ve heard, they appear to have been published in more than six magazines.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

Kido made a face that he couldn’t understand.

“How could this be? Cartoonists are extremely individual humans, so how can this be done systematically?”

“I’ve been acquainted with a few manga artists here, and I heard about it, but it seems that Akira Toriyama-sensei has come.”

Kido was surprised at that.

“What? Really? The cartoonist of Doctor Slump?”

“Yeah. Right now, I’m drawing Dragon Ball.”

“But it’s weird. Toriyama-sensei heard that she doesn’t usually communicate well with people?”

“I knew that too, but I think I also got help from Torishima-san, who is in charge. And even if there is no interaction with other writers, his influence is quite large.”

Kido nodded his head with a persuasive expression.

“Hmm. Seriously, Torishima’s yangban is quite sloppy… And since this incident is well known to cartoonists…”

Most of the manga artists Kido was interacting with were well aware of this incident, so they knew the atmosphere.

They actually reacted similarly to the reviews in the magazines they were reading.

Of course, they were also Samsara’s fans, so they were shocked at first, but in the end they came to the conclusion that being Korean was not so important.

After all, comics should be evaluated based on their skills, not their nationality.

The same is true in other fields as well.

“By the way… Even cartoonists from other magazines come forward like this, but it seems a bit pathetic for us to stand still.”

At Kido’s words, Nishida grinned.

“I already wrote a post on this review.”

“What? already?”

“Isn’t it obvious? However, I hope that Kido-sensei will come later…

“Great.”

Gently coughing and turning his gaze away, Nishida narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

“Kido-sensei personally says he’s so close, so he’s too much.”

“······· I didn’t know!”

“·················ogue.”

“Why do you keep looking at me like that?”

“How are my eyes?”

“Isn’t that a look of contempt now?”

“No.”

“No, not what!”

“It’s strange, it doesn’t mean anything.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Little by little, Kido, who was under his subordinates, made an impression.

“what? Sibi?!”

At that moment, Otake, who is in charge of Nishida, entered the studio with a cautious expression and greeted him.

“Ah, hello. there······. uh?!”

Then, startled by the atmosphere in the studio, Otake rolls his eyes. Then, having roughly grasped the atmosphere, he hurriedly approached Nishida and held him tight.

“Nishida, sir!”

“······Huh? Oh, what are you doing here?”

“You weren’t in the studio, so I came here just in case.”

“okay? By the way, are we going to talk about this for now?”

“Previously······. What are you doing now?”

“Well, it’s just a friendly exchange between cartoonists.”

When Kido heard the sound, he made a funny expression on his face, and then immediately snorted his nose.

“Friendship? I thought you came here to quarrel?”

“It’s a friendly exchange. But the one who got excited about the nonsensical thing is that you’re Professor Keydo.”

Hearing that, Kido looked at Otake this time and made an absurd expression on his face.

“Look at this. Do you see this as an arguing exchange? When you come to a busy person…”

At that, Otake nodded his head and said.

“I’m sorry, Kido-sensei. You’re working…”

“Why are you apologizing?”

“Teacher, please be still!”

“······· This friend is real.”

Kido, who saw the appearance, nodded his head with an expression that he liked it very much.

“Still, the person in charge is the right person.”

“You are in charge, me. But why are you on the side of Mr. Kido?”

“Please don’t say childish things.”

“What?”

“Haha, yes that’s right. Don’t be like a child.”

Saying that, while Kido smiles, Otake takes Nishida out of the studio.

“Why is this friend so strong?”

“Come on, go quickly. Now that the manuscript has been pushed back.”

“Okay, so stop pushing!”

“Yes Yes.”

Kido smirked when he saw that.

“That friend, the owner was different.”

“Sir, I’m here.”

It was Tegoshi, the person in charge, who entered the studio at that time.

“Uh, are you here?”

“Yeah. But what did Nishida-sensei and Otake-san just come here for?”

“I didn’t want to write a manuscript, so I took refuge here.”

“Yeah?”

Saying that, they look back in the direction they went.

Then he immediately shrugged her shoulders, turned to Kido, and said as if he had remembered something.

“Oh, by the way. Sir, something amazing has happened.”

“I know.”

“Yeah? really?”

“Yeah, you’re talking about the comments left by the cartoonists in magazines. Everyone is cheering for Samsara.”

“Hey, did that happen?”

“Huh? What, wasn’t it?”

“What about other magazine reviews?”

Kido waved his hands as he opened his eyes wide and showed curiosity as if he didn’t really know.

“Then we’ll talk about it later. Okay, what else is surprising?”

“I wonder what you just said.”

“Because tell me first.”

“······Yeah.”

Saying that, he frowned slightly, then his expression brightened up again.

“In this questionnaire, Samsara came in 7th place.”

“I know. That’s why I got 1st place. I don’t feel so good. You’re not saying this is news, are you?”

“No. I heard this from the sales department this morning. It seems that the sales of Samsara monographs are starting to increase again. Some bookstores say that they are out of stock from the first book, and they ask to send it back.”

“what? After it was revealed that he was Korean, the questionnaire dropped, but the sales of books actually increased?”

“Yeah. But what’s interesting is that people from Korea and Taiwan seem to be buying in bulk.”

“I understand Korea, but why Taiwan?”

“It seems that samsara is incredibly popular in Taiwan right now. The translation license hasn’t been sold yet, but it seems to have gotten quite a bit of word of mouth among the maniacs there. Of course, the same goes for Korea.”

“okay?”

don’t ignore the fans (6)

“By the way, it was revealed only a few days ago that he was Korean, so does it make sense that he sells a lot in Korea?”

“…and that’s it, looking at it.”

It’s surprising

As Tegoshi said, it was revealed a few days ago that Sunny was Korean.

So, it is not something that is already known in Korea.

So, what exactly is the boom in Korea and Taiwan?

No, if you think about it, there are many cases of Japanese comic books in Taiwan, so what is surprising is Korea.

Kido tilted his head.

“Then, is it just a fad?”

“I will. It is a manga that has a lot of mania in Japan. The situation will be similar in Korea and Taiwan.”

“Isn’t Korea a place where pirates are sold?”

“I heard that too. Probably because Korea is still blocking Japanese culture.”

“Then isn’t a pirated version enough?”

“I heard that the print was a mess. So, I think a readership has been formed who wants to buy a better quality book.”

“You don’t know Japanese?”

“Yeah.”

After all, it is common in Japan to purchase French or American comics in the original language, so this is not a special thing.

Anyway, Kido, who understood the situation roughly, nodded his head and scratched his chin.

“Anyway, Samsara is amazing. In this situation, sales are actually increasing.”

“Iknow, right. I’m very envious. Especially when it comes to overseas sales.”

“Licensing is the best way to sell in bulk. It is difficult to significantly increase the number of copies sold by only those who sell bundles like that.”

“They say there are still a lot of sales for that kind of thing.”

“Then you are envious.”

At that, Tegoshi smiled slightly.

“By the way, did I get first place this time?”

“Yeah?”

“first class······.”

“················ogue.”

Tegoshi, who had been tilting his head, was immediately startled and suddenly clapped loudly.

“Ah, congratulations, sir!”

“It’s like falling down and receiving me.”

“Ahaha, that’s right.”

“·················ogue.”

“Oh, no. never.”

Hearing Jiro’s words, she was startled.

“Isn’t there much change among the fans? Really?”

– Yeah. That’s right. On the contrary, some even said that they already knew about it.
