1983 Past Life Manga King

“So, you mean other cartoonists are making Samsara’s story?”

“Yeah.”

“However, it will be different from the samsara the fans want. If it wasn’t made by the teacher, would the fans be able to accept that it was a proper samsara?”

“So we have to create an opportunity for the fans to directly participate.”

“Directly…, what do you mean by that?”

There seems to be confusion on his face now.

“You can participate by drawing a picture yourself, and it wouldn’t be bad to participate in a story. Of course, it will have to be selected after rigorous screening.”

“Does the teacher conduct the strict screening?”

“Yeah. At first. However, in the future, samsara may be judged by a group of experts. Of course, this is just my guess.”

“······· So, you are saying that you will expand Samsara rather than just ending it as a single work.”

“Yeah.”

He nodded his head in response to my answer and was thinking about something else.

It must be complicated because it is a sudden offer.

All of a sudden, people are saying, ‘I want to expand Samsara’s worldview, please make a magazine.’

However, from my point of view, it doesn’t matter if Mitsuda Shoten doesn’t accept it.

It will take time, but I have plans to do it myself.

Of course, it will cost a lot of initial money, and you will have difficulties at first because you have to collect people as well.

It doesn’t matter though.

I was also thinking about how to spend the surplus money now.

As I was immersed in such thoughts, President Hiroyuki opened his mouth.

“It sounds a bit adventurous, but I think it’s worth the challenge. I also thought it was time for publishers to take a leap forward at least once.”

“Good.”

As I nodded, he looked at me with a curious expression and gave me a faint smile. Then he said in a low voice.

“It’s amazing.”

“Yeah?”

“The teacher felt like it didn’t matter if I refused.”

“is that so?”

“Yeah. I think you won’t make this offer to other publishers, and of course you have the rights to the second edition, but the rights to the Samsara Manga have been shared with us. Would you like to do it yourself?”

He’s an unusual person.

It’s also quick-witted.

I nodded my head and said.

“Yeah. Because I really want to.”

Because there’s no need to lie.

“Also. That’s right. If that’s the case, then it’s definitely something you should do.”

“why?”

“It is unconditional for us to be in a relationship with the teacher.”

Well, this feels like indirectly experiencing the feelings of Akira Toriyama who finished Dragon Ball.

It’s still in the future, but after Akira Toriyama finished Dragon Ball, Shueisha signed a contract not to publish manuscripts for other publications in exchange for giving him about 100 million yen each year.

It’s the same with illustrations.

Of course, I have no intention of being tied up like that.

That doesn’t mean I can’t make a bigger manga than Dragon Ball, though.

By the way, it’s a bit daunting to be able to accept such a daring request so well.

“When we get back, we will have a meeting and make an editorial department.”

President Hiroyuki said so and extended his spoon to the cod soup that came out during the conversation.

Machine Gun Jack’s reaction was significant as the series continued.

According to Jiro, there seems to be a place where he wants to make a TV anime, and it seems that the OVA side is also interested.

However, the editorial board decided that it would be better to wait a little longer, saying that there is no need to rush ahead in a situation where there are not enough serials yet.

me too

Anyway, in the meantime, I told Jiro about the new Samsara magazine, and he said he was interested too.

– It won’t be easy, but I think it’s worth trying. If you create a worldview like Lazyverse, the life of the manga will be longer.

Rageverse was created by Reiji Masmoto himself, and I thought that many people like Star Wars would gather together to make it.

A huge worldview created with the participation of many people.

If it goes well, after I die, the work will live on and continue to expand the world.

After a while.

Manga magazines published by Mitsuda Shoten began to promote extensively.

[A magazine for Samsara is imminent.][The story of Samsara and the manga manuscript are open for competition.][Qualification does not include active-duty or amateur relationship, and the winner will be published in a short, medium, or feature-length magazine.][The prize money is…]

The size of the prize money is also considerable.

The prize money is higher than that of other famous magazines’ newcomer contests, and there are more opportunities.

Although it was a magazine only for Samsara, it was starting quite aggressively.

Of course, since there are no manuscripts to be published there yet, there is nothing editors can do about it.

Although I have already talked to the publisher, I plan to include ‘Ravana’ at the discretion of the original author when the team is complete.

And a few days after the promotion went out, the reaction started to come.

“How about this?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

One of the people at the cafe meeting asked the friends who had seen her notebook with a nervous expression.

However, the reaction seemed a little unsatisfying.

“It’s a fairly well-made short story, but a little.”

“Why? Say it properly.”

“It’s not fun.”

“What?”

The woman looks at the man with surprised eyes, and then the others look back. Then most of them nodded their heads.

“right. It’s like some kind of cartoon analysis data, and unless you’re a big fan like us, you wouldn’t be interested at all?

“Is that enough?”

“My opinion is a little off.”

The reaction of others was similar, so the woman was disappointed.

But it’s all disappointing.

It was after they exchanged opinions on the things they had made before, and they also had a similar reaction to the current continuity notes.

“Wow, it’s hard to make it fun after all.”

“Of course. If that was easy, who would make a story out of their heads?”

“By the way, the short story Yada made is the best. The pictures are also quite high. Of course, it’s 10 pages, so it feels too short.”

“It doesn’t matter because there are no page limits.”

“It is.”

“But since we’ve already prepared it, are we going to apply?”

“I’ll try again. I don’t want to challenge myself with something that is likely to fall.”

“I also. This is the reaction here, and it would be obvious if I sent it to the publishing house.”

“By the way, is this contest really going to be fierce? There are more than 7 people who take on the challenge only in our research group.”

“Yeah. Competition is no joke.”

Having said that, most of them looked excited.

Most magazine contests are for debuting as cartoonists, but this contest is for people who like Samsara to compete with different ideas and drawings based on the same cartoon content.

Of course, there are people who have a strong desire to win, and there are people who just enjoy this atmosphere, but what is clear is that it is a festival for the fans.

Besides that, it’s even better to have a chance to debut as a cartoonist.

After a few days passed, a huge amount of manuscripts and story notes poured into the place where the temporary editorial team of Mitsuda Shoten’s ‘Samsara World’ was located.

The editorial department was completely paralyzed by a huge amount of parcels before the desks and various items were all sorted out.

It’s still a temporary editorial department, so there are about ten employees.

Thinking that the number was not enough, I ended up getting a few people from the comic magazine department.

Of course, mainly for those who like Samsara.

However, some cartoonists who heard the news came forward.

And between them was Nishida.

“Teacher. The manuscript is busy. Where do you have time for this?”

Otake nagged Nishida, who was reading the manuscript in the editorial department of Samsara World.

“Don’t worry, the manuscript will be completed on time.”

“No, what kind of person has hardly completed the work on time. Besides, you didn’t keep the promise you made with me at Comiket before.”

“You kept it.”

“It was only one week. one week. Aren’t you really doing it too much?”

Otake asked as if he was about to explode.

“Oh, did you?”

Even as he said that, he could not take his eyes off the manuscript he was examining.

At that reaction, Otage became even more angry.

“This is what editors do. It’s not something a cartoonist would do.”

“There are other cartoonists, too.”

Ootake, startled by that, rolled his eyes and looked around. He breathed his sigh of relief as luckily no one seemed to hear him.

Nishida glanced at such a scene and said with a smirk.

“Then you can help too.”

“No, I’m also a busy person…”

That was then.

“uh? Nishida! Have you been here?”

Seeing the man who suddenly appeared, Nishida was surprised.

“uh? What’s going on here, Kido-sensei?”

“Whatever it is, I came here to help out with my assistants.”

He said so and tucked his chin behind him.

Then, behind him, Kido’s assistants greeted each other with awkward smiles with dark circles on their faces.

“You’re doing it too much. Do you even bring fishermen into this kind of work? And people who are familiar with Samsara need to come here to help.”

“That’s our fisherman. is not it?”

When Kido said that and turned around, the fisherman’s expressions rotted away.

Samsara Multiverse (5)

A huge amount of parcels flew home all at once.

There is a lot of copied A4 paper in it, is it about 5-6kg?

Of course, it’s not an unbearable amount, but the funny thing is that it means that this is the first amount that was skipped in Japan.

In fact, it seems that more than ten times the number of these were gathered at the publishing house.

It is said that many people hung on it because of that, but it is said that Kido and Nishida were also there.

I’m personally grateful that people who were busy with their own manuscripts took part in this work, but on the other hand, maybe that’s why Jiro is paying attention to the people in charge of those cartoonists.

I’m so sorry

Anyway, I have to make the final decision on this much manuscript.

“Wow, what is all this?”

While I was reviewing the manuscripts and storytelling, Daebong Lee, who just came to the studio, approached me curiously and asked.

“Manuscripts and continuity submitted to Samsara World.”

“If it’s Samsara World, isn’t that the name of that manga magazine that starts anew?”

“uh.”

“Then, is it finally in earnest?”

“Perhaps.”

“Can I see this?”

“okay.”

When I answered that, Daebong Lee smiled and sat across from me and began to check the manuscript.

And I am constantly admiring it.

“Wow, Japanese children’s drawing skills are absolutely terrifying. Is this all amateur skills?”

“I have a lot of active duty members involved.”

“Cartoonists?”

“uh. He said that he participated as a fan.”

“It’s amazing that incumbent cartoonists volunteer to be Samsara fans and send such manuscripts.”

“I’m surprised too.”

Then the fishermen intervened.

“Ah, how many fans of Samsara are there among cartoonists in Korea? Of course, it is difficult to be sure that active cartoonists will send them to such a contest.”

“Isn’t it? Cartoonists who are serialized in boys’ magazines and manga magazines lack a sense of work unless they are from the main script office. Maybe I’ll send you enough?”

“Yes. The teacher in the studio where my friend is from also has all the samsara volumes, and he said that he usually takes a lot of patience when drawing manga.”

“It’s a copy, not a reference. How many scenes have we copied Samsarana or Fasiencia scenes in the script book these days? And yet, you’re not getting any restrictions at all. From their point of view, this is a Japanese manga.”

“Oh, right. There were a lot of scenes like Pasiencia in a soccer cartoon that appeared in the script a while ago. I was so excited to see that.”

Kim Ki-cheol frowned and said.

Seeing this, Daebong Lee nodded his head.

“You are right. Even if we hold a contest in Korea, there will be many people. However, if judged fairly, the average Korean skill would be no less. That’s why there’s a big difference between Japan’s and Korea’s cartoon skills now.”

I agreed to that and said.

“right. Japan and Korea are already at different levels of competition. And the experience you have accumulated so far is different. In our country, foreign information is too blocked.”

Because of this, when Japanese comics pour in in the future, the Korean comics industry will be hit hard.

So the sequelae will last quite a long time.

Anyway, it took quite a while to check all the piled up manuscripts.

Even after all the fishermen had left work, I looked at them in the studio alone, and it was only at dawn that I could see them all.
