The urgency in his heart made him not satisfied with going on like this.

At the same time, I also understand that this kind of eagerness is of no benefit at all. I haven't drawn this manga well, and opening another one may not necessarily be better than this one, and it is even very likely that I will be cut in half and affect the rhythm of the current manga. , Instead, it’s better to go on slowly like this, and try to open another manga after a while when the ability is enough.

But there is another thought lingering in my mind, another manga might be better, anything is possible.

What makes him so shaken now is actually not other factors. It was the manga slam dunk who went to the doctor in a hurry to serialize in order to prevent his manga from falling again. The second is that I want to be able to give myself a hand when I fall into the life and death line again.

It's just that the recent rapid growth rate caught him off guard, and until the manga of Slam Dunk surpassed his score, he was not satisfied with the serialization from the beginning.

He glanced at the others in the studio.

The assistants of the two comics, as well as Kurosawa Kazuta, these people are still fighting for the opportunity to serialize.

He hesitated in his heart.

But he didn't stop like yesterday. He didn't experience many things in his previous life, but he also faced too much pressure. In order not to be affected by his mood and lose his job, he naturally mastered a certain self-regulation ability.

At this moment, the ringing of the phone suddenly broke the tranquility of the studio, and immediately attracted everyone's attention, and it suddenly occurred to me that I forgot to turn on the silent mode.

In order to keep the studio quiet, everyone must turn their mobile phones to silent mode when entering the studio.

On weekdays, he has been anxious about this matter, but recently it has become more and more difficult to keep calm.

"Congratulations."

Walking out of the studio and outside the door, as soon as the phone was connected, the voice of editor Futian came. Even though there was no picture, he could still feel editor Futian smiling through the sound.

It's just a little unclear what editor Futian is congratulating himself on.

"what happened?"

"Last week, the readers' votes were counted, and the old comics are still ranked fourteenth this week..."

Some time ago Jump made a series of big moves, not only increasing the number of serialized works, from the original [-] to [-].

Although the quantity increased, the price did not.

It also poached two veteran and popular cartoonists from other weekly magazines, and injected several lightly modified comics.

For many reasons, Kyosuke Kosaka’s manga dropped abruptly from the top ten to the sixteenth place, and then it took a few months to barely climb to the thirteenth place due to the failure of several lightly revised manga. The promotion has maintained this ranking unchanged, until the length of the Slam Dunk series increased last month, and it fell to No. 14.

Hearing this pick, there was no fluctuation in my heart, and at the same time I probably understood what editor Futian was congratulating himself on.

The following words proved his conjecture.

"The new work Slam Dunk is really amazing this week! It got close to No.11 by two places in one fell swoop! It's only more than 10 votes behind No.100. It's really a pity—but according to the momentum of this week , next week is likely to reach the top ten! It’s really amazing. I thought No.13 was already the limit of a slam dunk. Last week’s serialization was so exciting!

Especially when Mitsui Shou said the phrase 'Coach...I want to play basketball! 'I was so touched that I even wanted to play basketball.

To be honest, in fact, I have not been very optimistic about the comic of Slam Dunk. Even if it won the No.13 pick, I still don’t like it. The thirteenth place in jump is probably its limit, and it is difficult to have any room for improvement.

Your hand-turning drawing is really beautiful!All of a sudden it broke my expectations. "

It would be a lie to be upset to hear this.

It's not that he's happy because Slam Dunk has brought him any reputation, but he's just happy that his favorite work in his previous life can achieve such excellent results in this world.

Although the slam dunk has become his obstacle now, he even dropped a pick because of his own cartoon.

but!

He is still very happy.

Of course, I still feel a little uncomfortable. After the joy, I also have the idea of ​​whether to give up the serial Slam Dunk and allocate time to develop new comics.

ps: no surprises! Chapter 2

Chapter 266 Once some things are there, it is hard to let them go

Later, the smile became forced. No matter whether it will be discovered or not, being a thief is still unavoidable. If you are a little abnormal, you start to worry about being seen, so Kyosuke Kosaka hangs up in a hurry because he is still busy rushing to draft phone.

Ending the serialization of Slam Dunk, let's not talk about the recent financial inadequacies, need to rely on the money earned from the serialization of the two comics to pay the assistant's salary and daily expenses.

Originally, my parents were more or less resistant to the fact that I took a break from school to draw manga, thinking that he should be educated at school at such an age, so that as long as there are no accidents, he can find a job that can support him after graduation. That way life is normal and stable, and the risk of becoming a cartoonist is too great.

Cartoonists have a good income, but this industry is too unstable.

There are at least tens of thousands of cartoonists in the entire industry chain, but there are only a few who can really make a living from it.

Moreover, the income of most of these cartoonists is not much different from that of ordinary employees, and what they can do is barely make ends meet. Only those cartoonists with high sales volume can truly be considered high income.

Also, cartoonists are not like ordinary employees. As long as they have enough qualifications for a long time, they can become section chiefs, ministers and other positions. They can guarantee that their income will increase with age, enough to support their families. Cartoonists Although it is also possible to rely on the sales of the next comic to achieve great success and reach the sky in one step, the creative inspiration is too unstable.

There are too many people who were killed shortly after serialization like Kurosawa Kazuta and others, and there have been no serialized works since then.

Or maybe after only a few paintings were serialized, the creativity was exhausted and there was no way to continue painting.

In the end, I can only work as an assistant for others and continue to work hard. Although the salary of assistants is a little higher than that of ordinary employees, it is not much higher, and it is not like ordinary employees. There are only so many manga and so many assistants needed, and it's not like you can find opportunities just by being an assistant.

The workplace is much more stable than the comics industry.

Now if he opens his mouth to discuss living expenses with his parents, he will definitely be blocked by his family again to some extent.

Although this is not a problem for him, it is also very sad.

And what's more, once the serialization of Slam Dunk is forcibly terminated, what should these assistants do?But a manga doesn't need so many assistants at all, and whether the next manga will have a chance to be serialized is still unknown.

Get rid of redundant assistants, but who do you want to get rid of?Who is left?
