: Weekly Shonen Jump Division

Su Jie returned home, didn’t stay for a few minutes, and then hurried out with a bunch of sketches.

This is Su Jie’s entire draft of “One Punch Man”, which is enough for entry-level review of comic magazines. Su Jie doesn’t want to delay too long, and he will act immediately after drawing yesterday.

Riding a bicycle, Su Jie rushed to the branch of “Weekly Shonen Jump” in Tokyo. It was located on the bustling Haijing Avenue. The distance to Su Jie was not too close, nor too far away. It was just right for him to ride a bicycle.

Because it was in the afternoon, Su Jie set off after school, just in time for the rush hour, and the road was somewhat congested.

Su Jie overestimated his speed, and arrived at the branch of “Weekly Shonen Jump” at nearly 7:30, which was set up in a certain building.

“Hello, sir, do you want to contribute?”

At the door, there is a special staff stop here, seeing that Su Jie came in holding a drawing, although Su Jie looks very young, but the beautiful receptionist also smiled and asked Su Jie’s needs .

“Yes!” Su Jie was an otaku in his previous life, and he also graduated and entered the society for a few years. He would not be stage frightened in this kind of situation, and said with a nod.

“Please wait a moment, I am nowI will contact you with a free editor. ”

The front desk makes an internal call, and the editors get off work at seven o’clock, but it is normal for editors to work overtime, and they often don’t get off work until eight or nine o’clock in the evening, so now Su Jielai is not afraid of not having an editor.

Soon, the front desk hung up the phone and said, “Editor Zhenhui has spare time, and it’s in Room 103 on the second floor. Do you want me to take you there?”

“Don’t bother, I’ll go by myself.” Su Jie picked up the drawing and left.

During this process, Su Jie also took a rare look at the branch situation of “Weekly Shonen Jump”. It was already past the off-duty time, but most of the staff and editors inside were still working in an orderly manner, with document flipping and phone calls one after another.

There are not many cartoonists like Su Jie in the editorial branch. After all, even if they want to contribute or deal with problems, they usually don’t come at this time, so Su Jie who walks inside is a bit conspicuous. When passing by, others will pay more attention to Su Jie. Eye.

When I came to Room 103 on the second floor, I knocked on the half-covered door, and a pleasant, feminine magnetic voice came out from inside.

“Please come in.”

After entering the room, Su Jie saw behind the large desk, a mature woman in her twenties who was wearing a OL black uniform, her legs wrapped in black silk, raised her head.

The woman also wears rimless glasses with trimmed edges, which looks extraordinarily elegant, perfectly blending femininity and sophistication.

In addition to the desk and a printer in the editing room, the most eye-catching thing is the row of figurines at the back, all of which are the main characters in Jump’s past comics, giving people the feeling of instantly entering the atmosphere of comics.

“Hello, sir. I’m Marie, the responsible editor of Weekly Shonen. May I ask if you want to contribute to our Jump?”

Zhenhui got up and asked Su Jie to sit down, adjusted the frame of the mirror, and stared at the drawing in Su Jie’s arms.

When seeing Su Jie for the first time, Marie was a little surprised. Although the ACG comics industry in Japan is not developed enough, there are quite a few newcomers who want to become cartoonists.

Especially “Weekly Shonen Jump”, the most prestigious manga magazine in Japan, never lacks new manga artists who come here to try to contribute.

But they are usually in their twenties, and people like Su Jie are still high school students, not to mention that there are very few.

“My name is Su Jie. This is my work. I’m here to serialize it in Weekly Shonen Jump.”

The female editor in front of him is mature and sexy, and also has the shrewdness of a professional woman. Su Jie always feels that the other party is looking at him carefully.

After receiving the sketch from Su Jie, the first thing that caught Zhenhui’s eyes was a shiny bald man with a bald cape and a yellow uniform. He was obviously serious, but he gave people an inexplicable sense of joy.

“One Punch Man.” Zhenhui read out the name of the work on the sketch, and couldn’t help but look at Su Jie.

It’s not a very good name!

Superman is an American noun. It also has a punch. It sounds easy to read together, but it seems a bit low!

Marie’s expectations have been lowered a lot. “Weekly Shonen Jump” is the best manga magazine in Japan. It is an affirmation of the increase in fame and strength. It is the first choice of every manga artist, but it also means that With the intensity of competition, most of the cartoonists fell into the sand here.

A manga artist who can be serialized on “Weekly Shonen Jump” must at least have a certain level of strength, not everyone can be published on it.

Most newcomer cartoonists are unable to meet this requirement. Now most of the cartoonists on “Weekly Shonen Jump” are not newcomers but veterans. This is not unreasonable.

Coupled with Su Jie’s age, these are really not enough to constitute a convincing ability.

Just because of the editor’s work attitude, Mae Hui continued to turn over the draft.

Among other things, Zhenhui still has a good impression of Su Jie himself. No matter what purpose Su Jie has, being able to independently draw manga at this age is not an easy task.

Of course, good feelings belong to good feelings, and work belongs to work. As a working woman, or in a strict and meticulous industry such as editing, Zhenhui can distinguish.

Su Jie doesn’t know, Zhenhui has already made up his mind, if Su Jie’s comics are really not good, he should tell the other party tactfully, so as not to dampen the children’s enthusiasm.

As Marie flipped through the pages, the manga of One-Punch Man slowly unfolded in front of her.

In terms of painting style and storyboarding, One Punch Man is not bad, and the name is only considered a passing level, which is normal. After all, Su Jie is still a fresh newcomer, and it is already very good for Zhenhui to be able to do this. incredible.

On the first page, a monster appeared, and then the image of the protagonist appeared. It was a bald man with silly eyes and only a little pupil. Seeing the image of the protagonist, Marie frowned slightly. It was my first impression of One Punch Man. Not the best, because “Weekly Shonen Jump” is not suitable for spoof manga serialization.

But what’s interesting about this comic is that in terms of plot, it has not only the passion of the king, but also hilarious and funny plots.

The first episode of One Punch Man started with an ordinary rescue. The protagonist Saitama appeared in a yellow uniform and cloak.

This plot is not complicated.Rie has been working as an editor for three years. She has seen this kind of opening many times. She has even guessed the next plot. Either the protagonist is defeated, leading to the next plot, or the rescuer appears. The most likely is the beautiful girl rescuer. , such a well-known routine.

Basically, this is also the style of the current urban supernatural combat comics. This kind of level and plot may have the opportunity to be serialized in other comic magazines, but in “Weekly Shonen Jump”, which has more competition and more good works, This kind of work is still a little underwhelming.

However, when Marie thought so, and even had the idea of ​​classifying this manga as unqualified, the plot of the next manga began to reverse.

The protagonist, Saitama, was not injured and fell to the ground, and there was no beautiful girl rescuer appearing, and some were just punched.

One punch!

Facing the clamor and strength of the enemy, the protagonist Saitama swings his fist to attack. You don’t even feel that he is exerting strength, as if he is throwing his fist lightly.

But when it hits the enemy, its power is comparable to that of a 203mm heavy artillery bombardment. It instantly blasts the Vaccine Monster into pieces and resolves the battle lightly, giving people a great sense of contrast.

What about the agreed routine?

One Punch Man didn’t follow the routine at all!

The conjecture in Zhenhui’s heart was ruthlessly overturned, and what was shown in front of her was a powerful protagonist with high force when he appeared on the stage.

Among them, Saitama said, “I am a hero driven by interest.” Compared with the crazy weirdo’s amazingly powerful punch, Mami’s eyes gradually brightened.

After referring to the name of the work, One Punch Man, the plot just now seemed to explain something, which made Zhenhui interested.

Even the image of the protagonist, who Mae Hui thought was bad before, completely changed his style of painting during the battle. The sharp eyes combined with the shiny bald head gave people an illusion of being powerful and invincible. Compared with before There is a huge sense of contrast, and people can’t help but want to follow up and see what kind of person the protagonist Saitama is.

Faintly, Zhenhui has a feeling that the manga created by a high school student in front of her may surprise her.
