Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 57 Guidance?That must lead!

The editor trains the author, and the editor answers questions for the confused author and tells him what to do.

This is a commonplace thing in any publishing house.

All feel normal.

In fact, the author who has not asked the editor, the author who has not been confused is abnormal.

Therefore, the editors of Urashima Publishing House who were present all felt that Hosokawa Koharu probably contributed a lot, which is why Higashino Tsukasa, the 'cub', was so upbeat and directly scored the first in the readers' praise rate of "Aversion to Chill".

but--

Did I train Mr. Higashino? !

Hosokawa Koharu was dumbfounded.

Did she not know whether she trained Higashinoji?

Nothing at all!

Higashinoji never asked her anything about manga creation, and she felt like a big salty egg, forcibly being taken by the fighter plane of Higashinoji to fly around in the sky.

After it was over, others still thought it was her fighter pilot's credit.

But in fact, Higashinoji has already realized the unmanned automatic navigation function, how can she be used! ?

Hosokawa Koharu just feels like a simple pendant!

"Editor Hosokawa? What's the matter? May I ask what your experience in training Higashino-sensei is?"

The editor next to him continued to ask curiously.

"Uh" Hosokawa Koharu opened his mouth.

How does this make her answer?

She feels that her greatest success is the discovery of the work "Midnight Ring", and there is really nothing else to brag about.

"You can carry on these discussions later." Editor-in-chief Urashima naturally wouldn't allow the editors below to continue discussing with each other. After he reminded, he announced the next result——

"Mr. Hei Gong's "Between the Dolls" ranks second in the reader's favorable rating."

This result did not exceed the expectations of the editor below.

After all, the reader’s praise rate of "Aversion to Chill" has always been like this. Basically, "Between the Dolls" comes first. Since "Midnight Ring" won this time, the second place must be Mr. Heomiya's "Dolls". Between".

Next, the editor-in-chief Urashima announced the reader's positive rating, and nominated several serialized manga to the list of cut-in-half observation period. Then he coughed and continued:

"The following is the sales volume of this issue of "Aversion to Chill."

coming!

All the editors became inexplicably nervous.

The sales volume of each issue of "Bad Chill" has continued to decline from the glorious period of 300 million copies per issue to 190 million copies per issue, and this number is still falling.

Don't know how this week is going.

If the editor-in-chief Urashima doesn't speak, no one below will dare to speak.

It's like a noisy classroom after class, suddenly someone says 'the teacher is here', and then the whole classroom is quiet.

In this oppressive silence, editor-in-chief Urashima finally spoke:

"The sales volume of this issue of "Bad Chill" is 190 million copies, which is a slight increase compared to last week."

quiet--

First there was the dead silence.

Then there were indescribable cheers and surprises from the editors.

"190 volumes?"

An improvement of [-] volumes?

Although it's not really a big achievement, but——

"The continuous downward trend has stopped? Even a small improvement?"

None of the editors, including Hosokawa Koharu, thought of it.

They were even prepared to be scolded by the editor-in-chief Urashima.

But when they learned that the downward trend had stopped and the overall sales had even increased slightly, they felt inexplicably happy in their hearts.

It seemed that the big stone in my heart that had been pressing down was suddenly half removed.

Because when the editor-in-chief Urashima announces the sales volume of the weekly magazine "Aversion to Chill", they always hang their heads down, and it's hard to have the feeling of raising their heads like this now.

Amidst all the excitement, there are still relatively calm people.

This person is Sanada Yong.

As an old editor with 30 years of experience, he was not as excited as other editors, but asked the question that everyone wanted to know the most:

"Editor-in-Chief Urashima, may I ask why this issue of "Aversion to Chill" did not continue to drop?"

As soon as he asked this question, the others became more sober. They turned to the editor-in-chief Urashima, and they all wanted to know the answer.

The sales of "Aversion to Chill" have been falling all the time. This is something that many practitioners in the industry know. Why did it stop all of a sudden?

There must be a reason for this.

And if you want to talk about the reason, the only excellent comics serialized by Shangxin in "Aversion to Chill" recently

"Could it be the reason for Higashino-sensei's "Midnight Bell"?" Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Yes, the biggest difference between "Aversion to Chill" and previous issues is that "Midnight Ring" is being serialized.

But she didn't dare to speak halfway through.

After all, this is just talking about it and it makes people feel too fantastic.

That's the weekly Chill!

One of the three major magazines of Japanese manga, even if it has been in decline, it is impossible to be affected so much by a manga, right?

but--

"That's right! It's "Midnight Ring"!"

This time, editor-in-chief Urashima answered without hesitation.

"I deliberately collected the readers' replies this time, and the vote replies of 'I hope to see the latest episode of "Midnight Ring" quickly" reached 20.00%. letter also accounted for 13.00%”

As soon as the specific data was presented, the editor below had nothing to say.

It seems that readers of "Midnight Ring" really love and hate this comic

This is the first time they have seen a comic with such a strong readership.

"I seem to have seen what it looked like in the glory days of "Bad Chill""

After hearing these data, Isamu Sanada couldn't help sighing.

Once upon a time, "Aversion to Chill" actually had several horror comics, and readers bought "Aversion to Chill" just for those comics.

Later, the excellent works of "Aversion to Chill" passed through the generations, and the sales continued to decline. Taizhu comics are struggling to find

And now that "Midnight Ring" suddenly appeared, it took only two episodes to carry the banner of "Aversion to Chill"

Sanada Yong still sighed a little.

"So after I and the senior management decided to give Hosokawa Koharu, the editor in charge of "Midnight Ring", a salary increase, I hope that Hosokawa can continue to work hard and guide Higashino-sensei to create better works."

Editor-in-chief Urashima logically announced the decision to raise Hosokawa Koharu's salary.

But this made Hosokawa Koharu even more dumbfounded.

What does it mean for me to make persistent efforts and guide Mr. Higashino?

I also want to guide, but Mr. Dongye doesn't need me to guide at all?

but

The salary increase is really nice.

No one doesn't like money, and Hosokawa Koharu is also a woman, so it costs a lot.

So even if there were a lot of things to say, when it came to her mouth, it still honestly became——

"Yes, thank you Editor-in-Chief Urashima, I will definitely make persistent efforts."

no way

It's so delicious.
