"After saying so much, I just want to tell everyone that we might use some experimental methods to speed up our progress.”
Chief Editor Tanaka said. He knew that this choice would increase competition. In the long run, this might cause losses to the weekly magazine, but in the short term, it didn't matter. As long as he experimented with a few issues and changed it back, it would be fine.
The other editors present shook their heads. Their superiors had already made up their minds. If they didn't have a good reason to refute, it would leave a bad impression on others. Moreover, they had to be even more careful when dealing with a boss who was about to leave.
"These are the last four people in this survey. Do you have any questions?”
The managing editor operated the computer and the data on the projector changed.
"All the departments have been supervising each other on these questions. There are absolutely no problems, Chief Editor.”
One of the people at the conference table replied.
"Very good. Now, the most important thing is the four comics that we are going to serialize…We are not newcomers, and we have already held this meeting many times, so let's not waste time. A total of twenty-nine comics selected by six editors were sent to everyone a few days ago. I'm sure everyone has read the originals.”
The six editors nodded. If one looked closely, one could see the dark circles under their eyes. Comic editing was not an easy job. Overtime was a norm. The chief editors of these divisions were even busier. In just a few days, they had to make a basic ranking of nearly 30 comics. It was also a waste of energy. Although those were only short manuscripts, their responsibilities required them to carefully consider every step.
Of course, they didn't need to rank the books they were responsible for because it was more fair.
"I received your emails this morning and asked my assistant to consolidate them. I didn't find any problems after checking them. Everyone can take a look. This is the final result based on the opinions of everyone sitting again and our next policy. Of course, it is not the final result. If you have any questions, you can ask. If necessary, we can change it before the meeting.”
With that, the image on the projector changed again. The names of the four comics appeared, filling in the places where they had been cut in half.
" Chronicles of the Crimson Star, Naruto, Lock.Off, Shitani Ghost Tales. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.”
The chief editors of the various divisions looked at the mangas and realized that the authors were all from the younger generation. Just as Chief Editor Tanaka had said, they wanted to discover new people.
" Managing Editor, I have a question!"
Suddenly, a voice came from the conference table.
"Oh? It was Uehara-san. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.”
The person named Uehara stood up and said,""Managing Editor, I don't have any objections to the other three mangas, but I think we should consider Naruto.”
"Why does Uehara-san think so? Tell us the reason…"
"Yes, editor-in-chief! I agree with the chief editor's intention to vigorously nurture the newcomers and give them more opportunities. I don't agree with Naruto not because it's bad. On the contrary, I think that from all aspects, out of the 29 comics this time, Naruto can be said to be the best. It's just that although the teachers of the other three comics that are about to be serialized are also considered newcomers, they have all submitted to our magazine a few times and persisted. However, the author of Naruto is submitting for the first time. We have no precedent for this, right? Moreover, its author was really…too young.”
His words made Kitagawa, who was secretly delighted, shiver. To be honest, he was not satisfied with the manga he submitted this time, and he did not think that it would pass the conference. The only thing that he was optimistic about was Naruto's biggest problems, which were raised by Uehara.
He quickly looked at the managing editor nervously. He cared a lot about the comic in his hands.
"Hehe, I've thought about Uehara-san's questions, and I understand what you mean…16 years old is a little young, but he's still a child at this age. He might have drawn manga out of a sudden interest, and it might be an unstable factor for our weekly magazine. However, just as Uehara-san had said, the quality of this manga could be said to be the best in this episode. He was unwilling to give it up like this.”
Chief Editor Tanaka laughed again."…Sixteen years old, first submission. This is the first time in the history of our weekly magazine, right? This topic was very sensational and could also send a signal to others. As long as you had the ability, regardless of age or qualifications, you could publish it on Shonen Jump and get more people to submit their manuscripts to us!”
"As for the other questions…I heard that Teacher Tomitsuki lost in mahjong again recently.”
The other editors were stunned. They didn't know why the managing editor would suddenly mention Fu Jian, but they quickly understood.
Normally, Shōnen JUMP would have 20 manga, but in actual fact, it would have 21. The extra manga would be reserved for Tomitani.
There were rumors on the internet that said that Tomiken would only think of serializing a manga when he lost money in mahjong. These words could be laughed at, but Editor Tanaka used this as an analogy. If there was a problem with the newcomer mangaka's Naruto, he could just use that scamming god to make up for it!
After thinking this through, the editors nodded in admiration. As expected of the managing editor, he thought of everything.
"Alright, so we've decided to serialize these four books. Is there any meaning to it?”
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"

——
Shino Miyagi was sitting in front of his computer, typing away at the code. There were several books on computer programming on his desk.
The paper in the books was not new. Whenever he had some time to rest, Shino Miyagi would open these books and read them. Every book had been marked with many marks. Thanks to this transmigration, his brain's comprehension ability had become abnormally strong. This made Shino Miyagi, who did not like to study, suddenly become interested in learning.
As long as you can learn something with a little effort, you will also be interested in learning.
Just as he was engrossed in the world of programmers, his phone rang.
He frowned and stopped. He picked up the phone and looked at it. The number on it was unfamiliar, but after thinking about it, he still answered it.
"Hello, this is Shino Miyagi."
"Is it Teacher Jingu? I'm the editor of the weekly Shonen Jump, Xufang. I'm calling to tell you that your work has passed the weekly magazine's conference!”
The person on the other end of the phone spoke a little fast, and there was an uncontrollable joy in his voice.
