I, Xingyue, a Manga Artist!

Chapter 632: However, I refuse!

"Is it early?" Yu Iwamoto said casually: "It's true that he doesn't need to work **** comics... But, Mr. Kurokawa is already in his thirties this year, isn't it normal to get married, or... you Surprised he's not even married now."

"Huh? Ah... have all of them." Duojiazi said feeling a little depressed: "That... I know! I will go to the annual meeting!"

"Well, then I'll record it here." Iwamoto Yuu nodded.

On the other side of the phone, Duojiazi, who was sure there was nothing to do, hung up and lay down on the table with a sigh of relief: "Oh... people are going to get married... so soon."

 …

"Why is there another phone call? Who is it?"

Ryogi and Mi, who were about to go out with Shiki for a stroll, were a little impatient when they heard the voices in the room.

"Okay, let's go and have a look." Liang Yi stood at the door and sighed: "I'll wait for you here."

"Well...I see."

Liangyi and Mi, who were not going to talk to each other at first, sighed and said that sooner or later they will replace all the old-fashioned telephones at home.

It's really annoying that there is no silence. If Shiki didn't hear it, he would just leave as if he didn't see it!

Walking into the room, looking at the phone in the living room that I just took from my [small] [Gospel], suppressed my breath slightly and said in a normal tone: "This is Gospel, what's the matter?"

"Yes, it's me, Yu Iwamoto, the editor of JUMC."

"Hey~ Editor, what's the matter? Don't we have to wait until tomorrow to discuss the manga? If there is something to say tomorrow, it's fine."

"Well... yes." Iwamoto Yu was stunned for a moment: "But forget it, this time it's something else, let me finish it at once..."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Are you coming to the annual meeting of JUMC? If you come, I can give you a place."

"Alas? The annual meeting?" Liangyi and Mi were a little surprised: "Isn't that only formally serialized manga artists can participate?"

"Generally speaking... yes, but there are some changes this year. The editor-in-chief plans to change the format and expand the scale of the annual meeting to include some cartoonists who may be serialized on JUMC in the future." Iwamoto You thought for a while and said, "After all, JUMC is getting bigger and bigger..."

In fact, this is not the only case. Although JUMC is getting bigger and bigger and the competition is getting more and more fierce, there is still one thing that is unavoidable—there are fewer outstanding newcomers.

In fact, the recent sales of JUMC are declining.

Of course, we are talking about the native land of Japan.

At the same time, the sales of "Weekly Shonen SUNDAY" and "Weekly Shonen Magazine" are rising steadily, and the number of good manga is increasing.

According to the survey, in fact, a large number of cartoonists failed in the competition on "JUMC", and then switched to the past and succeeded.

After all, not many people can resist the temptation to sell overseas.

But the old man in the comic circle deeply understands his own ability, and understands that the possibility of successfully boarding JUMC is very low...

It is much lower than before because there are more people competing.

It seems to be a good thing, but because the space on JUMC is limited, and there are many comics that dominate the list all the year round, there is no danger of being cut in half, so the new comics that follow are very dangerous.

In the past few years, except for two particularly outstanding books, the others were quickly cut in half every few issues even after passing the serial meeting.

Of course... There are also reasons for Liangyi and Mi.

He alone occupies three spots on JUMC... well, maybe four. After all, Duojiazi's manga is also related to him.

But it can’t be said that Liangyi and Mi’s comics are cut off. Among other things, overseas, they mainly rely on Liangyi and Mi’s comics!

Therefore, JUMC also needs to train newcomers, so as not to let their confidence be hit so strongly, and give them some gimmicks... Anyway, the current JUMC can be regarded as rich and powerful.

Of course, these cannot be said to a newcomer.

"This is also to let you newcomers see the market and have a clear goal! How about it, do you want to participate?"

Liangyi and Mi pretended to be silent for a while, and at the same time walked towards the door and said, "Forget it."

"Well, then I'll give you a board... huh? Forget it?" Iwamoto Yu was stunned for a moment, and actually said forget it? Did he think anyone would agree?

"Then...well, do you have anything to do during the New Year?"

"No... that's not the case, it's just that I want to wait until I have passed the serialization in the past, instead of being stuck in the current situation! Please—then, I have something to do and hang up!"

boom-

After hanging up the phone, Liangyi and Mi who walked to the door casually threw the phone aside, as hard and gently as possible, so as not to damage it. At the same time, they said to Liangyi: "Shi, it's over."

"So fast! Are you really serious about answering the phone?"

"Of course! Did you hear what I just said? A perfect answer!" Liangyi and Mi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't mind such small things, let's go."

"Forget it...it's your own business anyway." Liang Ri stretched out his hand: "Just handle it in the way you like."

the other side

beep—

Iwamoto Yuu stared blankly at the phone that had been hung up, a little confused: "Should I say... self-esteem? Or is it too much self-confidence?"

What are the cartoonists under my command...

A... well, there's no need for him to do anything other than deliveries.

One... self-confidence seems to be a little low, and she always wonders if she is very bad-in fact, she is already considered a genius. Even if it’s not the Holy Grail War, as long as you stick to it, a good story will be serialized on JUMC sooner or later.

Of course, it depends on the comparison object.

One...Although he has only drawn a short story, he can easily see the excellence of this cartoonist.

Sophisticated painting style, storyboards, interesting stories...

The selection of the Tezuka Award is worthy of the name.

Now it is also impacting towards the serialization qualification. The next one or the next one...should be able to pass it.

Of course, I don't know how long it can be serialized, whether it will be cut in half after three or four episodes in the serialization, or if it can be serialized for a long time.

It's just... this self-esteem and self-confidence seem to be very strong...
