Minister Sato took a few deep breaths and pressed down his beating heart. He thought he was dizzy and misjudged, so he rubbed his eyes and looked at the computer screen.

The result has not changed.

"Dragon Sakura" ranks third.

Scan the fourth place, "Tocuh" 11 volumes, 490,001 copies, released on December 16th. This comic, translated as "Baseball Heroes", is an unsurpassed masterpiece of Anda Chong, and the incomparable peak in Youth Baseball Comics. If it was the start of the summer Jiaziyuan, the sales volume of this comic will increase significantly. Even if "Dragon Sakura" is released one day later, it will only fall behind by a slight sales difference, and its strength cannot be underestimated.

The fifth, sixth and seventh place are the jumps of "Thunder Swordsman", "Saint Seiya" and "Oolong Police Station". The top seven sales account for four places, which shows the foundation of the No. 1 comic magazine in Japan.

Moreover, the sales of these three comics are all over 480,000 copies.

It can be said that "Dragon Sakura" has completely stood on the throne of third place.

However, this will not give a discount to this victory, but will only highlight the value of breaking out of the strong enemy.

You should know that "Dragon Sakura" is the only youth comic among the top ten sales, and it is also the first volume released!

Other comics have accumulated popularity before, so it is not surprising that they sell high sales, but "Dragon Sakura" entered the top three as a newcomer, and its potential is terrifying.

Minister Sato knew that "Dragon Sakura" had a certain chance of achieving its current sales. If Qin Han had not been on TV twice before the release of the comic, it played a great publicity role. Moreover, the entire Baiquan Club mobilized all resources and promoted it without hesitation. The combination of many factors led to today's achievements.

This success is almost impossible to replicate.

However, he was still happy.

"Uehara! Uehara!" Minister Sato shouted the name of his most powerful subordinate.

After a while, a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked into the office.

"Minister, are you asking me for something?"

"The weekly sales list of oricon has come out." Minister Sato pushed the laptop in front of the sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-s

"One hundred and ten million..." Uehara carefully counted the numbers on the screen, his eyes getting bigger and bigger.

"Third place, forty-nine thousand volumes? Really, Minister, I feel like I'm dreaming!"

"Do I want you to pinch you and wake you up from your dream?"

"Forget it, Minister, I'm afraid of pain." Uehara smiled embarrassedly.

"Okay, go and issue a notice. The entire department will hold a meeting tomorrow. Although the first battle has won, we must not relax. Next, we will come up with a detailed promotional plan! When the sales of "Dragon Sakura" reach one million, let's celebrate again."

"Yes, Minister!"

…………

Christmas is approaching, and the entire Tokyo is immersed in the festive atmosphere. However, for some professions, festivals do not mean rest and entertainment, but rather busier times.

For example, artists.

Major TV stations are broadcasting Christmas special programs, and various magazines have also published Christmas special issues. Yui Aragaki has been rushing to announce these days, almost in a state of exhaustion.

"Ah, I'm so tired~"

The girl came to the office's lounge and sat down on the sofa in a very indecent manner, not wanting to get up for a long time.

Today she came to the office to do business, and she happened to have no work in the afternoon, so she finally got half a day of free time. So Yui Aragaki planned to go to dinner with the juniors of the office at noon, and then made an appointment with Masami Nagasawa, who happened to have no work, to go shopping.

The common purpose of the two girls is to buy Christmas gifts for Qin and Han dynasties.

After lying on the sofa for a while, he recovered. Yui Aragaki sat up again and took out the "Dragon Sakura" he bought from his bag with the lady of the agent yesterday.

"While it's time to have some time before lunch, let's read the comic first!"

She held the comic book and looked at the girl on the cover who was drawn as a prototype. She felt a sweet mood and felt arisen.

Just as the girl was addicted to the wonderful comic plot and had been watching more than a hundred pages, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Please come in."

The man who walked in was wearing a conspicuous beige suit and his hair was combed with greasy hair. It was President Honma Ken.

Yui Aragaki immediately stood up and greeted: "Hello, President."

Seeing that this etiquette was completely unmatched and was the new girl with the greatest potential in the firm, Honma nodded with a smile: "Hello, Yui. Have you worked hard during this period?"

“Although it’s very hard, it’s also fulfilling.”

"Well, just be motivated." Honma Ken said, "The photo album sold very well last time. Although it has never won the first place in the weekly list, it has always been at the forefront and is a regular seller. It seems that your persistence was right at the beginning, and customers also highly recognize your pure image."

"Thank you, President."

Seeing the girl expressing gratitude indifferently and not being surprised by praise and criticism, Honma nodded again. It is necessary to have this kind of calmness and not be overwhelmed by temporary praise, so that she can go further in the art world.

"Yui, I'm here to talk about the photo album, and there is another important notice. You have been honing in the art world for a few years, and you have no room for improvement by making small fuss. So the firm decided to concentrate resources from next year to promote you. The most important thing is to let you play in a prime-time TV series and play at least three roles."

In Japan, when actors appear in TV series or movies, they will rank first, second, third, fourth, etc. according to the number and importance of the scenes.

This order can be seen at a glance from the credits and crew list.

Sanban is already considered one of the leading actors. It is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a 17-year-old girl to be the starring actor in a serious prime-time TV series.

Even Yui Aragaki, who has a simple personality, couldn't help but show joy when she heard the information revealed by President Honma Ken.

"Really, President?"

"Of course, would I lie to you? So after the New Year, the office will arrange for you to take an acting class. Although it is a bit suspicious of being a temporary cram, if you have half a year, you should be able to learn something. It would be embarrassing to get the acting skills of late-night dramas in prime time TV series."

"President, I will definitely work hard to seize this opportunity!"

At this time, the door of the silence was pushed open, and Kawashima Hae, a junior and friend of Yui Aragaki's office, broke in with rashness: "Senior, let's go for dinner, I want to eat meat today at noon!"

"Ah, President!" The petite girl found something wrong as soon as she entered the door, stuck out her tongue and prepared to escape.
Chapter completed!
