Just as Koyanagi was about to register her company, the weekly magazine Shonen Jump meeting was held.
As the most popular comic weekly in Japan, Shonen Jump was also popular in this world. Not only that, but it was even more popular than Japan in the previous world.
The popularity of the previous World Weekly Shonen Jump was at the peak. Feng was at the peak of Dragon Ball's popularity when Dragon Ball was being serialised. During the peak battle, the episodes of Vegeta and Sun Wukong's combination sold more than 6 million copies per week. However, after Dragon Ball ended, Shonen Jump's popularity plummeted. It instantly dropped to 4 million copies, then to 3 million copies, and finally stabilized at 2 to 3 million copies.
Of course, this was the weekly sales volume. There were a total of 50 issues of Shonen Jump in a year, and each year, more than 100 million copies were sold.
It was inevitable that Shonen Jump's popularity had declined in the previous world. Even the later most popular One Piece, Breach, Naruto, and so on were at the top. The appearance of Feng's popular manga did not reverse this decline and returned to its peak. Peak time.
In fact, this was an inevitable effect caused by the decline of paper reading. The depression of the publishing industry was common in almost all countries. In Japan, this phenomenon appeared much earlier than in China and Taiwan.
In this world, although the situation was better, it still had a very serious impact.
Unexpectedly, Shonen Jump wasn't affected much. Instead, his popularity rose steadily.
Every week, more than five million copies of " Weekly Shonen Jump " were sold, and it was at the peak of popularity. During his peak period, he had once sold more than 14,000,000 copies in a week. In the season of hot sales, there were usually more than seven to eight million copies sold.
At the same time, because of this popularity, the competition was undoubtedly even more intense. This was the pinnacle of the Japanese comics industry. Feng's stage was the hunting ground that almost all manga artists wanted to chase after.
The cruelty was self-evident. It was extremely challenging.
Compared to Shonen Jump's popularity, the current Xiao Liu was nothing. After all, Shonen Jump was founded in 1968. After so many years, it had become the number one comic magazine, as well as a national comic magazine. It could even be said that it was the number one comic magazine in the world. It was undoubtedly the glorious hall of comic magazines and was famous all over the world. Compared to Xiao Liu, who had only debuted for half a year and was a light novelist who had just shown his talents, he naturally could not be compared. The two were not on the same level at all.
Today's meeting was about the selection of Shou Tezuka and the subsequent serializations.
If one wanted to serialize it on Jump, they would usually have to be selected for the Tezuka Awards or the Akazuka Awards. They would have to publish it in a supplement to warm up their popularity before they could officially serialize it.
Although Eagle Rushiro believed that Koyanagi and Mashiro's manga could be directly published, in reality, there were still a lot of difficulties. This manga titled " Seven Deadly Sins " would have to defeat many other competitors.
At the same time he submitted " Seven Deadly Sins " to the conference, he also submitted " Seven Deadly Sins " to the Tezuka Awards. This was naturally out of his selfishness, and he rarely submitted at the same time.
At the Shonen Jump headquarters in Tokyo.
Every time the Tezuka Awards was launched, many manuscripts would be faxed over from various places. This was the annual event for the Shonen Jump.
It was the same this time. When the manuscripts of the various divisions were sent to the headquarters, there would be specialized editors who would gather all the manuscripts together.
Following that, the chief editors of the editorial department would hold a meeting to choose nine works as the final candidates. Finally, they would let a few famous manga teachers comment on them and choose the most outstanding works to be included in the various awards of the Tezuka Awards.
However, just like other awards, the highest ranking " selected " Tezuka Award was not something that could be obtained every time. Since the last manga artist was selected for the Tezuka Award, there had been thirteen consecutive episodes without any " selected " Tezuka Award. This undoubtedly showed the strictness and harshness of the Tezuka Award. For rookies, it was almost impossible to obtain.
Not only that, but some manga artists had different preferences, which would also affect the qualifications of the Tezuka Shingo.
Therefore, in conclusion, the entry selection, which was the second place, was already very impressive. It was the goal of all the competitors. In their opinion, being selected for the Tezuka Award was undoubtedly more difficult than ascending to the heavens. It was better to settle for it and aim for the entry selection. Some manga artists even felt that it was enough to get a good work (third rank).
There were only a few ambitious new manga artists who set their sights on getting selected from the very beginning.
There were a total of thirty-two manuscripts in this round.
This was an astonishing number.
It had to be known that this was a manuscript that had been submitted after a strict review by the editor. Before this, there were probably countless manuscripts that had been rejected. These thirty-two manuscripts were probably less than one percent of them.
The editors had to choose nine final candidates from these 32 manuscripts.
Of course, this was yesterday. The nine finalists had already been selected and sent to a few famous manga artists for their comments. Today, the results were out.
At this moment, the meeting room was deciding on the matter of Taka Tezuka.
