Tokyo, Weekly Shonen Jump headquarters.

As the world's largest comics editorial office, the number of comics produced here every day is an unimaginable number.

Although the editors here are paid a lot, they also have a heavy workload every day.

"Taozi, these comics are also about romance, so I'll leave them to you to review."

The editor-in-chief's voice came from behind, and Ooka Taozi couldn't help but sigh, but still pretended to be energetic and replied

"Received."

As soon as the voice fell, a stack of documents appeared in front of Momoko Ooka, all of which were the original manuscripts of comics that had been submitted recently.

Looking at these manuscripts, Momoko Ooka couldn't help but feel depressed.

When she graduated from college, she chose the profession of comic editor based on her passion for comics, but when she really turned her love into work, she found that it was an absolute torture.

Every day she felt that her eyes were being qj, and the submissions were generally not pre-screened, so they would be presented directly to the editors for them to screen on their own.

Momoko Ooka was in charge of the youth romance module, and this type of comics was not taken seriously in Weekly Shonen JUMP.

After all, no matter which comic publisher it was, the most valued were basically hot-blooded comics.

But despite this, the probability of comics with romance themes being a scumbag was still the highest.

Now there are so many comics again, and who knows how many brainless plots there will be.

Shaking her head, looking at her colleagues who were working hard around her, Momoko Ooka also started to work. No matter what, the tasks assigned by the leader could not be left unfinished.

She began to look at one book after another.

"The heroine was hit by a car and died, and the hero resurrected her by thinking about her? What a lousy setting!"

"The hero is the heroine's brother, but neither of them knows about this relationship. This setting is too old-fashioned, and the style of painting is also very bad!"

Ooka Momoko complained while working. If she didn't say these complaints out loud, she was worried that she would go crazy

"Huh? The name of this comic is interesting, and the cover is also beautiful. Could it be that I have come across a good work?"

After reviewing countless comics, a comic called"Five Centimeters per Second" appeared in front of Ooka Momoko. The delicate style of the cover immediately attracted her attention.

If the style of the work is also maintained at such a high level, then even if the plot is not very good, it can be published. For comics with love themes, the author's skills are the most important.

"let me see...The author's name is [Angel Classmate]? What a weird name? It seems like a dark and gloomy middle school boy who imagines a beautiful girl coming to him every day."

With a little expectation and curiosity, Ooka Momoko slowly opened the comic.

【The speed at which cherry blossoms fall is five centimeters per second.】

"That's what the title means...."

Ooka Momoko nodded slowly, and became more curious. The author who could observe life carefully must be very thoughtful.

It was a pity that the cherry blossoms were almost withered, otherwise she really wanted to observe them.

Ooka Momoko continued to watch, and her expression became more and more serious. She didn't even notice someone calling her.

"Taozi worked really hard today...."

A female colleague sighed, then gave up asking Ooka Momoko and went out alone.

She originally wanted to ask Ooka Momoko to go fishing together, but now forget it.

Time passed by minute by minute, and in a blink of an eye it was time to get off work, and at this time Ooka Momoko was already in tears.

Girls' emotions are very delicate. Although such an ending in the story is very reasonable, more profound and in line with reality, she thought it was a good ending until she saw the end.

At this time, the colleague who came back from fishing after work was shocked when he saw the appearance of Ooka Momoko.

"Taozi, what's wrong with you?"

She asked with concern. Could it be because she went out without her?

""Ah? This story is so touching."

Because someone asked, Ooka Momoko's crying became more obvious.

The person breathed a sigh of relief and then became curious.

As everyone knows, the love comics in Weekly Shonen Jump are the worst section, and basically no good works have been published for a long time.

But this work can move Ooka Momoko to tears, which makes her curious.

Realizing that this might be a good work, she immediately started watching it.

After reading the first part, he said to Ooka Momoko with a serious face

"Taozi, please show this comic to the editor-in-chief. I think it should be printed and sold immediately."

"Good!"

Ooka Momoko was not someone who didn't know anything. She took the comic in her hand and walked into the editor-in-chief's office.

She knocked on the door.

""Come in."

The editor-in-chief's voice came out, and Ooka Momoko walked in without hesitation and put the comics on the table.

"Editor-in-chief, I found a very good work?"

""Oh?"

Hearing Ooka Momoko say this, the editor-in-chief immediately became interested.

Although each editor's evaluation of excellent comics is different, the evaluation of whether a comic is good or bad is roughly the same.

If an editor can come in and report like this, the quality of the work must be guaranteed.

"Angel Classmate?"

Seeing this pen name, the editor couldn't help but reveal a funny smile. It seems that the author should be a middle school boy.

The comic is not long, and he has finished reading it in a short while.

"What a good story."

The editor-in-chief exhaled. He usually read mostly hot-blooded comics. Now he read a comic of this type, and it was still a bit exciting. He was still not satisfied.

After pondering for a while, he gave his evaluation to Ooka Momoko.

"It is a rare and excellent work, with profound ideas, deep dialogues, exquisite painting style, and a non-cliché plot. Although the story is short, the content is very rich and has a high value for adaptation."

After hearing the editor-in-chief's evaluation, Ooka Momoko took a deep breath. Sure enough, her vision was not wrong, and she was also happy.

With such a high evaluation, it means that the publishing house will definitely allocate more resources to these works. At that time, as an editor, she will have a heavy record.

It is very helpful for promotion, and as long as she is promoted to editor-in-chief, she doesn't have to read garbage comics every day!

""Contact the author right now and sign the contract as soon as possible."

The editor-in-chief's words brought Ooka Momoko back to her senses.

She realized that she had not signed the contract yet, and as long as she hadn't signed the contract, the work might be signed by another editorial department.

"Got it, I'll do it right away!"

After putting away the comic, Ooka Momoko hurried out of the office, not daring to delay for a moment.

This is her future cash cow, and it can't be picked up by others like this!
