Chapter 54 Monsters appear frequently
Now is the peak moment of "Weekly Shonen Jump".

Some time ago, Higashino asked Sasaki that the sales volume of Jump magazine had reached a height of 640 million, that is, 640 million copies of the magazine were sold every week.

How many Japanese teenagers are there?

This is a peak never reached in the past and never again in the post-1995 future.

It can be said that every work in serialization is more than a masterpiece.

In this golden age surrounded by gods, Higashino was already pleasantly surprised and a little terrified to get Xiaozheng No.2.

"I'm really happy now, Mr. Sasaki."

"Keep this mood, keep working hard." Sasaki said: "I have always believed in you and will become the pillar of Jump."

"Yes!"

……

On Sunday, Morimichi Yamamura received a sample of Jump.

"Sun Killing Incident" was the coloring page of the 23rd issue, and he had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

""Soul of Go" is No.2, and our manga is only No.5. It is simply unforgivable." Yamamura said to Mr. Arai who was working on the side.

He was very troubled and wanted to surpass "Soul of Chess".But after reading the manga, I like the content of "Soul of Chess" very much.

Pain and happiness.

The level of "Soul of Chess" has dropped, and he will be very upset if he can't read interesting comics.

But "Soul of Chess" ranked higher than his comics, and he was even more upset.

So all you can do is improve yourself.

After a year of improvement and readers' feedback, he began to revise the original details and strive for perfection.

The name of the manga can be changed to "Sun Killing Incident · Kai", and Yamamura began to add more new content.

Second, of course, the recommended positions are the color pages in the volume and the color pages in the front volume.

"There is a coloring page in the middle of the manga," he said smugly: "Even the cover will have a picture and text, this time it will definitely surpass the ranking of "Soul of Chess"!"

Except for the serialization of the first episode, the rest of the times were behind "Soul of Chess". He had been upset for a long time, and he was only short of one place, with dozens of votes, but he was always behind "Soul of Chess".

"You," Mr. Arai looked at Yamamura Morichi amusedly, and he shook his head, "This result is already very good. My own manga always ranks after the top ten. Young people must learn to be satisfied."

"I'm Yamamura Shoudao," he took out the jump sample from the paper bag, stood up and held it up high, "I must be number one, even if it's the number one for a rookie!"

When he uttered bold words, Arai expressed helplessness and admiration.

Working with this young man even his heart came alive.

It seems to be back to the time when I first started drawing manga.

"That's really good, let's work hard together! I will draw the best picture!" He expressed his affection.

But he saw Shancun Shoudao's ruddy face suddenly turned pale, and then black like ashes at the bottom of a pot.

"Akino Akino, why did I, Yamamura Shoudao, be born again!" He raised his head to the sky and screamed.

"Hello! Are you okay? Yamamura!" Arai was concerned, and he leaned over to see.

Yamamura Shoudao hurriedly hid Jump, but after thinking about it, he couldn't hide it.

He sighed again, "I didn't expect the front page of this issue to be "Soul of Chess"."

Just now, he was slapped in the face when he uttered bold words. A thick-skinned person like him couldn't stand it anymore.

On the cover of Jump, there is Hikari Kondo pinching a black chess piece with two fingers, and behind him is Sakai Fujiwara 1000 years ago in a Tang suit.

Occupies almost all positions on the cover.

And the coloring pages that made him happy and had been looking forward to for a long time only took up less than 1/10 of the position on the cover, which was very inconspicuous in comparison.

"It turned out to be a coloring page," Arai said with emotion, "I have been drawing manga in Jump for 7 or 8 years, and I haven't won this honor yet. I am indeed Mr. Akino Tori."

"Wait!" Yamamura Shoudao suddenly yelled, he didn't care about embarrassment, he remembered a very dangerous thing, "The last chapter of "Soul of Chess" is No.2... Gudu..."

He swallowed, and stared at the comic magazine with wide eyes, "It's just a foreshadowing chapter, plus the front color page of this issue... Could it be..."

"Could it be..." Arai was also shocked, "Will he become Xiao Zheng's number one?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Yamamura Shoudao waved his hand violently. If "Soul of Chess" won the first place, his courage to chase might disappear.

Quickly picked up the manga, he read it.

After a while, Yamamura Shoudao heaved a sigh of relief.

The content in the comics is different from what he thought.

Toya Ryo vs. Fujiwara Sakai, which has paved the way for several episodes.

But in the end, because Shinto Hikaru was obsessed with Go, it was himself who played against Taya Ryo.

At his level, he naturally lost, and in the middle of the game, Shindo Hikari made a throw and conceded.

After all the hard work just for this game, the result was anticlimactic content.

Ryo Toya stepped out of the shadow of Sakai Fujiwara and moved towards professionalism.

Shindo Hikari also continued his pursuit.

Arai read it quickly.

He said: "Such content will naturally not make readers like it. But..."

"Maintaining the tone of the work," Yamamura Morido answered, and he remembered the short story "Spirit of Go" on the "Tezuka Award", "Mitsu Shinto is different from Toranojiro, if you continue to let Sawei play chess, then Shinto Hikaru will only be the first Two Toranojiro."

"Well," Arai nodded, "I gave up the present and saw the long-term future. It's really courageous."

Shindo Hikaru, who is obsessed with chess, is naturally more attractive than a marionette.

Yamamura Shoudao fell silent.

After a long while, "What a formidable opponent, Tori Akino Mirai, it's quite interesting to be able to serialize with him in Jump."

……

Higashino was reading manga, and "Sun Murder Incident" surprised him.

The painter has improved and fits better with the work.

The content of the novel has also been changed after the manga revision, with more reasonable modus operandi and delicate progress.

Even the reasoning process of the novel version has been changed. The last criminal has been shrouded in fog and is unknown.

In the field of comics, "The Sun Killing Incident" has achieved evolution.

"Oh! It's so interesting! Sure enough, the most important thing in a reasoning work is the unknown!" Just manga based on the original text, you can't survive on Jump.

"Yamamura is very courageous."

Higashino sighed.

More interesting in his opinion, but don't know what readers will think.

Many versions of Jin Yong's novels have been revised by him, but not all of them will be recognized by readers.

Higashino has a hint of admiration for the mountain village guarding the road.

After reading "The Sun Killing Incident", he read the latest serial comic.

Very familiar, and who knows more about the content than the author-"Rurouni Kenshin".

"This is the pillar of "Jump" in the future." Higashino wondered, "Is the serialization starting now?"

He had seen the "Rurouni Kenshin" anime before, and there was a wonderful live-action movie.

So some impressions.

The reverse blade knife, the murderer with the "x" scar on his face, Himura Kenshin, finally came to the same stage with "Soul of Chess".

"What an era of frequent monsters!"

　Thank you for the reward
