1983 Past Life Manga King

Having said that, he sighed and opened his mouth again.

“As I said, if 2 million copies are sold properly, go over 3% more.”

The executives glanced at the two in turn and noticed.

Izumi asked, looking at President Hiroyuki with sharp eyes.

“how is it?”

President Hiroyuki smiled softly and nodded his head.

“Not bad. But the transfer of shares is difficult.”

“Even though I walked half way?”

“Shall I make a suggestion this time?”

At that, she gave Izumi a look of surprise, and then she smiled again with a relaxed smile, she said.

“Tell me.”

“How about 2.3 million copies?”

The executives were astonished at this.

“Say, boss!”

“Hey, 2.3 million copies! Nonsense!”

“If you do it wrong, the publisher might suffer from a huge inventory!”

“We are not a big company like Jump! Such absurd…”

Izumi also had a look on her face that she was quite surprised, and she remained with her blank face without saying a word. Then she soon came to her senses, and she looked at President Hiroyuki and asked.

“Did you say 2.3 million copies?”

“Yeah. That’s right.”

“Why, 2.3 million copies?”

“I think it would be good to break the record of 2.2 million copies now.”

“Are you the boss here?”

“That’s right.”

“Is that kind of person trying to open up a gambling game?”

“It’s not a gamble. I think it’s possible enough. And Nakaya-san said 2 million copies were possible, didn’t he?”

“The difference between 2 million copies and 2.3 million copies is not just a difference of 300,000 copies. Even at the limit of 10,000 copies is a big difference.”

“I don’t think it’s that big of a difference to me.”

Izumi grinned at President Hiroyuki’s reply.

“You are a strange boss, really.”

She said so and nodded her head.

“It’s fun, it’s really fun.”

“If we achieve 2.3 million copies, Izumi-san will give me stock…”

“It is not transferable.”

At that, President Hiroyuki put on an expression of regret.

Seeing that, Izumi smiled.

“good. There was a consensus of opinion.”

At those words, all the executives looked astonished.

“Nine volumes, 2.3 million copies for the first edition?”

When I asked in amazement, I heard an excited voice over the phone.

– I heard it was decided like that.

“No, 2.3 million copies is a little bit.”

It is true that machine gun jacks are very popular right now. It was the result of setting a new record when the first edition of the 8th volume, which was released a few months ago, produced 1.2 million copies.

But suddenly, 230 million copies.

The current record is 2.2 million copies set by Doctor Slump, which was serialized by Akira Toriyama a few years ago.

That record was also thanks to the soaring popularity of TV anime.

Of course, Machine Gun Jack has also started airing now, and I’ve heard it’s getting pretty good ratings, but 2.3 million copies are still unreasonable no matter how you think about it.

– The decision was made at the executive meeting.

“An executive meeting?”

-Yeah.

Then yes.

The executives may have made such a decision because they do not know the field well.

“I know that the publishing department and the editorial department usually have a meeting.”

-Yes. Usually, but this time, it was said that such a decision was made at a special executive meeting.

“Isn’t it the boss who made the decision there?”

– It is true that the president made the final decision.

“Yeah?”

Did the gentleman make such a decision?

He seemed like a pretty smart guy to me.

-The final decision was made by the boss, but there is a person who first presented an opinion.

“Who are you?”

– I thought I heard it wrong at first too.

I hope not.

– He said it was Mr. Nakaya.

Whoops.

My name is Nakaya Izumi.

Why is she that girl?(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Then something suddenly came to mind.

I called a few days ago to tell you what my dream was.

And then I suddenly replied that I was the king of comics.

Is this woman, by any chance, laughing at my answer and trying to bury her alive right now?

-The editor-in-chief also said that he heard the story from the vice president. In fact, the first claim by Mr. Nakaya was 2 million copies.

200 million copies? So where did the 300,000 copies come from?

“Then why did you decide to sell 2.3 million copies?”

– He said that was the boss’s idea.

The president added 300,000 copies?

What did these gentlemen do at the meeting?

Did you even shoot a tazza movie about me?

“Why is the boss saying that again?”

– I don’t know either.

What the hell are you doing this for?

230 million copies is unreasonable by anyone looking at it.

To be honest, even with 150,000 copies, it feels heavy.

If it is a general connection decision, you would think that 1.3 million copies is the limit.

By the way, Izumi pushed 2 million copies, and the president got 300,000 copies and OK?

Had it been Izumi’s own decision, she would have thought that something was up.

Because that woman usually does things like a scoundrel.

But, she’s just confused that the boss has made the final decision.

And that plus an additional 300,000 copies.

-I heard that there was a riot in the publishing house because of that.

yes it is

Printing 2.3 million copies in the first edition is a problem in itself, but the huge amount of inventory is more worrying than that.

And if there is stock, sending it back to the shredding plant to grind the huge amount of books would be a problem.

Even though I’m not the head of the publishing department, I’m already getting a headache.

-Do not worry too much. If such a decision was made at the meeting, there must have been a reason.

“How about Akagi-san?”

-Yeah? What do you mean?

“This decision. Do you think it will sell enough 2 million copies?”

-I think there will be a stock of 700,000 copies.

Is this dude kidding?

But that’s a realistic reaction.

With that in mind, Jiro continued.

– I would have said so in the past.

“Yeah?”

-But, strangely, it’s a teacher’s cartoon, so I’m looking forward to whether the 700,000 copy gap will be filled somehow.

Saying something without any basis.

Of course it feels good.

At that moment, I suddenly remembered what I had said during the phone conversation with Izumi.

cartoon king.

At that moment, her face lit up.

cartoon king (2)

When I called Izumi, she asked why the offer came and went, and she said at first.

– He said his dream was to be the king of comics.

“That’s it…”

-If you answered that way, why are you suddenly so passive?

“It’s passive. At this point, it’s almost like gambling.”

-I think it’s possible?

“Yeah?”

– It’s possible.

There was nothing to say about baseless confidence.

-And the person who added 300,000 copies to my opinion is the boss. Did you hear that?

“Yes, I heard. Why the hell did he do that again?”

-Well, I think he made that decision because he thought there was a good chance of winning.

“·················ogue.”

-A lot of writers have achieved about 1 million copies of the first edition these days, so 2.3 million copies is worth trying.

As Izumi said.

In fact, the fact that Dr. Slump was number one with 2.2 million copies is the same as the old memories I knew, but the fact that there were more than 1 million copies is a different fact.

Saint Seiya originally had about 1 million copies, but it has surpassed 1.5 million copies, and Fist of the North had similar results.

Dragon Ball is also a few hundred thousand copies higher than the original.

In other words, the scale of the comics industry was larger than that of the original era.

Still, 230 million copies were too much.

“Then what if you take on a huge inventory?”

-That’s the company’s responsibility, and I don’t think it’s something cartoonists should be worried about.

“I am still worried. It might hurt the publisher.”

At that moment, laughter was heard over the phone.

“Why are you laughing?”

-No. just.

As soon as he said that, the laughter stopped. Then there was no sound for a while.

“Hello?”

I asked if the phone was disconnected, and an answer came right away.

– Oh, I was thinking about something.

“What do you mean?”

– Because something interesting came to mind.

What are you talking about in the meantime?

– Aren’t you curious about what it is?

“not really······.”

I don’t want to know too much because I’m afraid I’m going to say something wrong again.

Anyway, I heard a click on the tongue as if I didn’t like my reaction. And soon Izumi opened her mouth again.

– Well, it’s good anyway. It’s fun anyway.

“Is it fun?”

-Ok. fun.

what else are you talking about

-I wonder why I am doing this, and somehow I think that life is interesting.

i’m kinda scared

This woman’s behavior is completely out of control.

-Anyway, let’s make some more interesting cartoons. Sales of the first edition are entrusted to the publisher.

“·················ogue.”

-Oh, please tell Sunny too.

“Sunny?”

-Yeah. Please be a little more sassy.

“exertion······.”

– Then stop.

Having said that, I hung up the phone.

“·················ogue.”

He looked down at the disconnected phone and made an absurd expression.

it’s a blowout

I don’t know what other people say, but I don’t mean to tell Seon-hee.

He’s a very ambitious kid, so it’s hard to say things like this.

By the way······.
