Reborn in Tokyo after picking up Sayu who ran away from home

Chapter 408 Reaction
The unique split-mirror technique brings unique effects, produces a chemical reaction, and has an indescribable attraction and unique charm.

Some demons can attach themselves to the body of the dead.

At the dying moment, Pokita remembered the agreement between the two, turned into a heart and merged into Denji's body, successfully bringing him back to life.

After the resurrection, Dianji has an extra pull ring on his chest, which is the tail of Pokita who has merged with him.

Xiangle Mayu's face was tense, her lips were pursed, her expression was very serious.

It was obviously an evil manga, but it seemed to contain some kind of magical power, allowing her to continue reading it.

Just relying on the picture, it can bring readers an immersive experience and be brought into the emotional changes of sadness and joy.

Facing the zombie demon and his men, the revived Denji Wuxia mourned the loss of Pokita, and angrily pulled off the pull ring on his chest.

Accompanied by the special effect words representing the start of the chainsaw engine sound, the cluster lines in the screen converge towards the middle.

Among the zombies.

A "monster" wearing a steel helmet, with monster-like spikes and chainsaw blades on his head and arms—just emerged from the crowd of zombies!
The next moment, Dianci, who transformed into a chainsaw man, began to kill all directions in the pile of zombies.

The flesh and blood in the picture is flying, showing a kind of tension like a cult film.

Although it is a black and white cartoon, it seems to be filled with the smell of blood, stimulating the senses.

Seeing Denji laughing wildly on top of the group of zombies, Sagara Mayu's temples twitched involuntarily, and her eyelids blinked extremely quickly.

"Evil ways..." She murmured dumbfounded, and quickly turned the page.

In the picture on the next page, three groups wearing black suits and trench coats appeared at the entrance of the warehouse.

Looking at the only living creature in the field, the woman standing in the center calmly stepped forward, without any fear of Denji who turned into a monster.

"You have a strange smell on your body, neither human nor demon."

The woman has smooth mid-length hair, braids on the back of her head, and a pair of circled eyes that look like reincarnation eyes. She looks between the mountains of corpses and the sea of ​​blood in front of her and the electricity in front of her, and asks with a slightly raised corner of her mouth. .

"You made these?"

The bright sunlight hit behind her, depicting her soft outline, dazzlingly illuminating the scarred Dianci in the dark.

Yusuke Kato spent a little time here, focusing on the appearance of Machima while keeping the overall style unchanged.

If there is a faint smile, soft and delicate facial contours, soft and slender hair.

The cold and capable smooth lines are simple but elegant, complex yet subtle, exuding a lily-like taboo fragrance, full of charm.

"Wow! It looks so good...!" Xiangle Zhenyu's eyes lit up instantly, and he gently stretched out his finger to follow the outline of the character, as if he was practicing copying.

Facing the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him, Denji couldn't help expressing his inner desire.

"Hold... give me a hug..."

The woman glanced at him, and even though his appearance was terrifying like a devil, she gave him a big warm hug without hesitation.

The tenderness in the picture is vivid on the paper, sweeping away the previous depression and eerieness.

The helmet on Denji's head melted like mud, and the chainsaw on his body was retracted, returning to its original appearance.

"It's a human..."

Seeing Denji regaining his human form under her embrace, the woman who is a public security demon hunter gently hugged him on her lap and gave him two choices.

One was killed by her as a demon,
The second is to be her dog as a human being.

"If you were my dog, I would feed you well."

Looking at the woman smiling calmly in front of him, Denji asked after being stunned for a moment.

"The feed you mentioned...what can I eat in the morning?"

Convenience is thinking about giving a response.

"Hmm~~~...Bread with butter and jam...Salad, coffee, and dessert..."

Denji let out a groan when he heard this.

"It's simply invincible..."

Seeing this, Sagara couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then turned to the next page.

On the blank end page, Bokita with a chainsaw on his face is waving goodbye cutely, signaling the end of the manga.

"Huh? It's over..." She couldn't help sighing, and put down the manga in a sense of loss.

"What's wrong with you? Mayu."

Hearing her sigh, Fumio Sagara at the side couldn't help turning his head to look, and his eyes fell on the book "Youth Undead" on the small table.

"Huh? Isn't that a boy manga? You were reading that just now??"

The elder brother who said so came forward curiously, picked up the manga magazine on the small table, and looked at the younger sister sitting on the ground with a strange expression.

"Since when did you become interested in shonen manga? Is the sun coming out from the south tomorrow?"

"You are so annoying, brother, I don't want to talk now."

"Hey, why are you in a bad mood suddenly? Wasn't it fine just now?"

"It's not that it's getting worse, it's just that I just finished reading a special cartoon, and my mood is a bit complicated."

"A special manga?" Fumio Sagara blinked and asked, "Why so special?"

Xiangle Mayu nodded, and just put his hands on his knees, hesitantly said: "How should I put it... It seems a bit like the dark hero story, and it's a bit curious."

"Ah? Doesn't it mean that this completely avoids your preferences? Why do you still want to watch it?"

"Well, because it was recommended by that teacher Xia Shizi, and...it's really interesting."

Hearing this, Fumio Sagara suddenly became interested.

"Oh, I can actually hear comments other than cute from my sister. Which article in this book are you talking about?"

"The one in the middle, "The Chainsaw Man."

After pointing out the direction for his brother, Xiangle Zhenyou reached out to pick up the milk pudding from the table, tore off the plastic wrap on the surface with a "hiss", and began to eat.

The sweet and delicious pudding melts slowly in the mouth, and the rich milk flavor mixed with honey-like sweetness makes the mood pleasant.

"Hmm~"

The younger sister squinted her eyes in enjoyment, but the older brother suddenly yelled.

"Tomato Devil? What the hell is this??"

"Be quiet, bro." Sagara Mayu said, and then played with her phone idly.

While thinking about the impression after reading the manga, he naturally opened Twitter, ready to check the situation online.

When she entered the keyword "#"Chain Saw Man"" in the search bar, she discovered that someone had already created a related entry.

Not only that, after clicking in, there are already hundreds of related topics, and they are still increasing.

Judging from the speed of the topics being constantly refreshed, it is obvious that the popularity is extremely high, and everyone is discussing this anti-routine work, which is very enthusiastic.

Mayu Sagara looked through the online comments for a while, then used Fumio Sagano's account to edit a status under the relevant entry.

——"I just watched "The Chainsaw Man". It is really a unique and interesting work, with unexpected developments and special storytelling techniques. This author is amazing!"

After sending, the topic stayed at the top for a second, and was brushed down by other people's posts.

At this time-

"Cool-!"

On the side, Fumio Sagara slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Mayu, this manga is so enjoyable to draw, it makes people's adrenaline soar!"

Before his sister could speak, he continued to speak.

"Speaking of which, is this really a boy's hot-blooded manga? This kind of scale should be more appropriate for youth hunting?"

"And the woman from the Ministry of Public Security at the end is really good! It fits my taste very well, it's amazing!"

"I think this manga will probably become popular, otherwise, think about it, how about publishing her doujinshi at the next doujinshi?"

Fumio Sagara had a hearty expression on his face, sparsi was endless in his mouth.

Xiangle Mayu glanced at her brother, ignored his request to take the opportunity to satisfy her selfishness, and just swiped her phone.

As for the prediction that this manga will become popular, I don’t know the reason why I don’t usually read shonen manga, so I can’t estimate the extent of the “hotness” that my brother said.

She was just a little bit moved by the author of this manga, the teacher "Fujimoto Tree", and felt that the other party was worthy of being the person that teacher Kasumi Shiko valued.

And although she didn't know, she felt the changes intuitively inside the Undead River comics department.

That was when the editorial department held a normal morning meeting.

This is the daily regular meeting of the editorial department, attended by the editor-in-chief, deputy editor-in-chief, and 3 team leaders.

The things discussed ranged from the discovery of newcomers, to the popularity survey of serial works, to the discussion of some controversial works, and the follow-up arrangements for those final works.

However, compared to "Shounen Jump", which has an endless stream of submissions, the work of the editorial department of "Shounen Undead" will be much more relaxed, and the review threshold will be slightly lower.

As long as the submitted works have their own highlights, and the style of painting is not too bad, they can basically be serialized in the end.

After all, if even the most basic 24 works standards cannot be met, then it is impossible to talk about publication.

Each company has different standards in this regard. For example, "Shounen Jump" pursues an elite standard of one-on-one between editors and authors, and the number of serialized works in each issue is 20.

The standard for "Shounen Magazine" is 28.

However, like most comic magazines, the editorial department of "Shounen Undead" also follows the supremacy of questionnaires.

The results of the questionnaire have nothing to do with the author's previous grades and experience, and they are all applicable.

Even popular works and authors may stop serialization if the survey results are not good.

In this situation.

If the popularity index of a work continues to rank at the bottom, it will decide to cut it in half and give way to a new serial work, resulting in many short-term serial works with only 10 to 20 issues, which is really a common thing in the comics industry .

The standard of the editorial department of "Shounen Undead" is to keep the number of serialized works at 24.

Works ranked in the last two places in the overall ranking will be included in the ranks of consideration for cutting in half, while works ranked in the tenth place or so can be classified as middle and lower reaches.

Every time the topic of cutting in half was discussed, the atmosphere in the meeting room would become a little dignified.

So normally, no one would be so ignorant as to disturb you at this time, but today is different...

——jingle bell bell ~
——jingle bell bell ~
The rapid phone ringing rang one after another in the editorial office.

Suzuki, the old editor-in-chief sitting at the top, held his thermos cup and sipped buckwheat tea. While thinking about what to say next, he waited for the phone call outside to stop.

And if he didn't speak, others naturally didn't dare to speak.

Kimura, who was sitting below him, glanced over the face of a team leader with a bitter expression on the opposite side, thinking for a while about the work that the other party was about to cut in half, and then thought of the teacher Fujimoto.

He couldn't help secretly speculating in his heart about the opponent's ranking in the next issue.

Unlike the three editors who are still struggling as team leader, he has a good mentality.

After all, Xia Shizi openly paved the way for someone in her novel, and this matter is well known in Undead River.

Under such circumstances, even if the final popularity of the work is sluggish, he will not be too implicated.

After all, he is just a performer.

If it is done, it is natural that his share of the credit is indispensable. If it fails, it is also Xia Shizi's willful and reckless actions, and the main responsibility cannot fall on him.

He, Kimura, just needs to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and wait for the result quietly.

"However, Xia Shizi's appeal is more or less, the popularity in the first week should not be too bad, and I don't know how the sales are now..." Just when he was thinking about these things casually...

- Knock knock.

"excuse me!"

Accompanied by a loud apology, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open with a "click".

An editor just walked in.

Seeing this scene, the old editor-in-chief Suzuki couldn't help frowning, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

This kid is going to be unlucky.

At this moment, Kimura and the three team leaders couldn't help thinking at the same time.

The young editor seemed to be ignorant of his situation, but instead said excitedly:
"Editor-in-chief! Many bookstores called us just now, adding orders for this comic magazine!"

Hearing this, the editor-in-chief Suzuki frowned even deeper, and his tone was reprimanded: "If you add more, you will add more. What are you panicking about? Don't you know you are in a meeting now?"

"But..." The young editor tried to explain, but was interrupted by him.

"I remember that you have been working for two years, right? In this case, the priority is to issue reserves, and if there is not enough, you can place an order with the printing factory. Have you done it?"

"...Yes, I'm really sorry——!"

After being scolded like this, the young editor immediately bowed deeply, then straightened up, and replied:
"All the goods in reserve have been dispatched, and colleagues from the printing factory are also in contact. Excuse me!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around cautiously and walked out.

The old editor-in-chief Suzuki nodded majesticly, hummed, and then calmly picked up his thermos, brought it to his mouth, and asked a casual question.

"By the way, how many orders have been placed in total for the bookstores you mentioned?"

The young editor who was about to leave the room suddenly stopped, turned around again, and answered softly in a very respectful tone: "About 10 volumes, editor-in-chief."

Um--?
Suzuki's old editor's hand holding the thermos cup suddenly shook, and a little of the hot tea in it spilled out onto his pants.

However, he didn't care about these things for the time being. Instead, he put down his glass with a sullen face, looked at the editor with piercing eyes, and asked, "...how much did you just say?"

With everyone watching, the young editor raised his voice slightly and repeated it.

"Before I came into the meeting room, there were a total of [-] volumes, but there are still colleagues answering the phone at the back, maybe the number has changed, editor-in-chief."

In an instant, an eerie silence permeated the conference room.
