I, A Pirate, A Cartoonist!

[68] Kasumigaoka Shiyu buys comics

“Double!

Kasumi Hill Shiyu’s eyes widened in surprise.

You know, in Japan, light novels and manga are completely different in size.

Weekly jumps such as “Xia Yan”, a new comic serialized, had a circulation of nearly 7 million at its peak.

Although with the advent of the Internet age, the sales of paper comics are decreasing year by year, but the circulation of each issue of the weekly ump is also full of more than 4 million.

Now, sales of the comic book “Xia Yan” have doubled.

Isn’t that more than 8 million!?

This has surpassed the peak sales of Weekly Jump!

Thinking of this terrifying number, Shiyu Rao Shiyu of the Hill of Xia couldn’t help but stagnate, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

For light novels, millions of sales are already relatively well-known new works.

As for comics, let alone millions of sales, millions of volumes are just hot comics.

Like Xia Yan’s Japan, if a comic wants to reach the national level, it must have at least 4 million volumes, such as One Piece.

Or have daytime animations with extremely high ratings and long-term broadcasts, such as Detective Conan.

Even those monster-level works with an average volume of 2 million can only be said to be phenomenon-level at best, and far from national-level.

Therefore, light novels and manga are not comparable at all.

Even the most popular light novels, in comics, can only keep up with the end of the first echelon.

“But it’s normal. After all, this level of popularity has already been created before the release, but the popularity is only temporary. After all, it depends on the work itself.”

Although very envious of the popularity of “Xia Yan”, Kasumigaoka Shiyu quickly packed up her emotions and went to another store to buy Weekly Jump comics.

As a result, what she didn’t expect was that the sales volume of the weekly Jump magazine was so much higher than usual that she even went to more than a dozen stores and couldn’t buy a copy.

“This is too exaggerated, isn’t it? I’ve only heard that phenomenal comics would be in short supply, and this is the first time I’ve heard that Weekly Jump can sell to such an extent!

The surprised Kasumigaoka Shiyu had no choice but to find another person who bought Weekly Jump, hoping that the other party could sell it to him.

That person was happy too, just pay 5 times the price.

“5 times!?”

The boss who stared at Shiyu of Kasumigaoka.

Although Weekly Jump is not expensive, even 5 times the price is just a small amount of money for her, but this stupid thing that was slaughtered out of thin air, how could Shiyu of Kasumigaoka do it!

However, just when she was about to turn away in disdain, she heard the man who wanted to sell her weekly jump comics 5 times to himself: “Don’t say I’m expensive, how hard it is to buy you this issue. I saw it too. Besides, the new comic book “Xia Yan” is quite nice, but I haven’t finished it yet!

“Xia Yan is a good new comic?”

Hearing the unexpected words, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu stopped (Zhao Zhaozhao’s footsteps, looking strangely at the man who planned to sell his comic book to him.

“Mmmmm, yeah! It’s so good! I’ve never seen such a good-looking manga!”

He seemed to be talking about his area of ​​expertise, and the man who sold the comics said loudly: “Whether it’s the artist, the plot, or the characters, it’s definitely top-notch, even if it’s not comparable to those who have been famous for a long time. Inferior, no…. If you only look at the artist, you can even crush all the famous cartoonists!”
