Kyoto, Shonen Jump Editorial Office.

In a few days, the serialization of the new manga will be decided, and the editors in charge of the entire editorial office have been receiving manuscripts non-stop recently, trying to find excellent works to hand in.

As long as the comics they submit can successfully enter the serialization of weekly magazines, they can also get relevant benefits.

If the comic is popular, it will be even more amazing, not only can you be famous, but also upgrade and raise your salary, and become a well-known editor is just around the corner.

However, this is not a simple matter.

There is only one vacant slot in the weekly magazine, but there are more than ten editors on the field, which means that if you want to be serialized, you must kill from the army.

Competition is fierce.

Of course, it is this fierce competition that can select truly excellent works.

At this moment, a woman with smart short hair is sitting in her office, flipping through the manuscripts on the table with extremely fast hands, subconsciously frowning.

Her name is Ayano Iida, and she has just been assigned to the editor of Shonen Jump, and she is now very distressed.

The reason is simple, the quality of the manuscript left to her is really poor.

This is also a matter of no way, as a new editor, she has a congenital disadvantage compared with the old people in the editorial department.

The current comic book industry itself is tepid, and there are only those excellent creators, and the high-quality resources are basically in the hands of those old editors.

New editors like her can only look for work from cartoonists who are also newcomers.

Peers in the industry jokingly call it gold panning in.

Although it is possible to find a divine work, the probability is basically the same as digging gold out of a dung pit.

After all, they are all newcomers who do not know how to do it, and most of the works submitted are very naïve, and they are beginners who have just learned to draw, and they submit their manuscripts self-righteously.

If you want the plot without a plot, if you want a storyboard without a storyboard, there is even a stickman drawn.

The most outrageous thing is that someone painted the R18 category and submitted it.

Don’t the other party know that Shonen Jump is a serious manga weekly?

And what makes Ayano Iida most unacceptable is that among the works she has seen, the best plot and painting style is still the work of R18.

Why, are all good creators going to the sea?

After enduring mental torture and watching a dung work again, Ayano Iida couldn’t help but sigh.

To be honest, about this serialized work, she has long lost hope.

As a newcomer editor, it is difficult for her to compete with her predecessors.

“Hmm… Amaterasu-sama, again a name that I have never heard of, I see that it is the work of a garbage newcomer, Iida, handed over to you. ”

A middle-aged man with thin lips next door threw the unopened email in front of Ayano Iida, and he selected some manga by famous authors.

In the face of this obvious violation, Ayano Iida, who had just joined, naturally dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

Because in Sakurajima’s workplace, juniors naturally have to maintain a certain respect for their predecessors, and she can only accept the manuscript as promised.

As the editor-in-charge, it is the most fundamental obligation to review each manuscript, even if it is a garbage work, you must patiently review it.

Naturally, some of the old editors are troublesome, directly throw uninterested manuscripts to newcomers, and unceremoniously compete for resources, such as the dog editors next to Ayano Iida.

“Alas.”

Ayano Iida sighed in her heart and opened the file bag in her hand.

Immediately, a coloring page that looked like a brother and sister hugging came into her eyes.

The older brother was holding a katana and looked like a normal human, but the younger sister showed her fangs, a bit like a vampire.

Just looking at the cover, the first feeling is not bad, but just the cover is good, the content is a mess, she has not seen it.

“Ghost Slayer Blade?”

Ayano Iida subconsciously pronounced the name of this work.

Is it related to the vampire theme?

However, looking at the costume on the cover, it is a bit like the Sengoku period of Sakurajima.

“Amaterasu-sama… It’s inexplicably a little familiar, but it doesn’t seem to have been seen in the comic book industry. ”

Looking at the author’s name under the cover, Ayano Iida muttered, and then curiously opened the manga, commenting while reading it.

“Well, did you set up the suspense first?”

“The male protagonist’s personality is very gentle, not the feeling of making readers bleeding in the brain of other works, which makes people very comfortable to watch.”

“My sister drew it cute… Wait, this style of painting, this storyboard technique, doesn’t look like a novice at all! ”

Ayano Iida couldn’t help but show a surprised expression.

As editors, they evaluate a comic book with its own routine, the plot can be a little later, but the style of drawing and the characteristics of the protagonist must be good enough.

After all, the first impression that the comic brings to the reader is very important, and if the eye is not good enough, it is easy to dissuade passers-by.

If you don’t have the level of drawing comics, even if you can tell stories, have ghost ideas and ideas, readers will not buy it.

Just like a cartoonist she knows, although the level of storytelling is messy, because the female characters he draws are astringent enough, the picture impact is strong and can pass the review, and he has always been favored by readers.

And this author, named Amaterasu-sama, can be said to be the top existence in the industry, whether it is drawing method or storyboard, and the character setting of the protagonist is also a very popular genre for readers.

Then there is the plot of the work Ghost Slayer.

Today’s mainstream comics generally revolve around the themes of “friendship”, “bonds” and “victory”, but Ghost Slayer Blade rarely writes about family affection.

After seeing a peaceful atmosphere, Tanjiro returned home, and all his family died tragically, even his sister became a ghost

The reversal of the plot, the mobilization of emotions and the rhythm of the narrative, Ayano Iida can only be described as breathtaking.

She couldn’t help but glance at the name of Amaterasu-sama on the cover again.

Now she has begun to wonder if this is the vest of some industry god!

This is an area that is simply impossible for newcomers to the industry.

The most important thing is that after reading a chapter of Ghost Slayer Blade, and then looking at the works on the current manga serialization popularity list, Ayano Iida actually feels that the quality of those manga seems to be a little inadequate.

You know, the authors of those works are long-known comic masters!

Looking at the work called “Demon Slayer’s Blade” in his hand, Ayano Iida’s heart suddenly surged with a fiery emotion.

She feels that if it is this work, then she may be able to fight for the place serialized in this weekly magazine.

Her intuition told her that if the follow-up plot of “Ghost Slayer Blade” does not collapse, it is likely to become a hit!

Even, become the face of Shonen Jump, a national-level manga!
