365 Where is the editor in charge?

"It's so amazing. I thought the style of male cartoonists is as rough and dirty as "Bei Dou Shenquan". I didn't expect that this cartoonist named Qin and Han can draw comics that are more delicate and cleaner than female cartoonists..." Le Jialing held the comic book and could never put it down again.

She and Li Wenjun were busy reading "Dragon Sakura", and their focused appearance quickly attracted the other two roommates.

The two of them seemed to have copied the reactions of Li Wenjun and Le Jialing. After picking up the comic book, they quickly became immersed in the stories written by the Qin and Han dynasties.

Fortunately, there was no class in the afternoon, so the four girls were able to read the comics to fill them.

From afternoon to evening, in the entire dormitory, except for the evening when ordering takeout and having dinner, you can only hear the "rustling" sounds when comic books turn pages.

The four girls were like playing drums and passing flowers. After reading a comic book, they handed it to others, and then picked up another one by themselves.

It was not until late at night that Li Wenjun, who had finally finished watching the finale, stood up and stretched, moved his body that had been sitting and sore for a long time, and realized that it was already two o'clock in the morning.

"Hey, go to bed soon, there will be a class in the first class tomorrow morning!"

The other three girls immediately lamented.

"What, it's two o'clock?"

"Oh, the school kept powering at 12 o'clock, but it was not good to have this. If you were not careful, you would stay up late."

"It's over. The first class tomorrow morning is Ma Zhe. That teacher likes to call him the most!"

"Why is "Dragon Sakura" so good? Teacher Qin Han, if you make me late for class, you must take responsibility!"

After the four girls set the alarm clock, they immediately washed up and went to bed.

However, even in the dream, the comic plots I had seen before still kept popping up. The next morning, after the four of them struggled to get up, they could only smile helplessly when they looked at their red eyes.

…………

At the end of October, when a group of female college students were almost late because of being addicted to "Dragon Sakura", Qin Han had completely left his first commercial comic behind and began to look to the future, and fully prepared his new comic - "Midfield Core".

However, "Midfield Core", which was originally scheduled to be serialized in "Weekly Junior JUMP", had to be postponed.

The reason for the delay in the vote has nothing to do with the Qin and Han dynasties. The problem lies with the JUMP editorial department.

The editor in charge of the comic "Midfield Core" has not yet settled.

Previously, the person in charge of communicating with Qin and Han was the editor-in-chief Kazuhiko Torishima. As the former editor-in-chief of Qin and Han, the two of them were old and had a good relationship. It was very appropriate to let Kazuhiko Torishima take charge of Qin and Han affairs.

However, Kazuhiko Torishima is now the editor-in-chief of the JUMP editorial department. There are many tasks that need to be worried about, and it is impossible to keep doing the editor-in-chief.

Originally, Kazuhiko Toshima and two other deputy editors discussed and prepared to let Tokuo Takahashi, who was the editor-in-chief of Masamo Cheda, serve as the editor-in-chief of Qin and Han.

It is a good job to be able to serve as editors like Qin Han, who has proved his strength. Compared to Bao Chicken and Eyes, it is much easier to guide a new cartoonist step by step and make him grow up.

However, Tokuo Takahashi didn't seem to appreciate it.

When he received a notice of work changes, he wanted to serve as the editor-in-chief of Qin Han, and he also handed over the editor-in-chief of Masami Cheda to others, he decisively refused.

Tokuo Takahashi proposed that he could be the editor-in-chief of Qin and Han dynasties, but he had to still be the editor-in-chief of Masami Cheda.

Kazuhiko Torishima knew very well why Tokuo Takahashi made such a request.

Takahashi Tokuo took over this comic from the Golden Twelve Palaces of "Saint Seiya" and became the editor-in-chief of Masami Cheda. Now that so many years have passed, he has devoted countless efforts to this comic, and his feelings are no less than the original author Masami Cheda.

Now "Saint Seiya" is on the decline, and it can be said that it is at the critical moment of survival. Tokuo Takahashi only wants to work hard with Masami Cheda to turn the tide and make this comic rejuvenate for a second spring.

At this time, his superiors would ask Tokuo Takahashi to leave "Saint Seiya" and take charge of other comics, of course he was unwilling to do so.

A editor in charge, responsible for a popular comic and then responsible for leading a few newcomers, is a tradition in the JUMP editorial department.

If an editor is responsible for several popular comics, he may not be able to take into account both energy and time. This arrangement of the JUMP editorial department can make the most efficient use of the power.

Tokuo Takahashi, who has rich experience and has discovered several best-selling comics, sent him to Qin Han as editor-in-chief. This is not only the JUMP editorial department's attention to Qin Han's "Midfield Core". From another perspective, it also has a bit of "Saint Seiya" as an abandoned son.

Tokuo Takahashi opposes the personnel transfer of the editorial department. Kazuhiko Torishima expressed his understanding, but he would never accept it.

Back then, when he was the editor of Akira Toriyama, he personally trained this office worker who became a monk and became the top Japanese cartoonist, and gave birth to masterpieces such as "Alarei" and "Dragon Ball".

The friendship between Torishima Kazuhiko and Toriyama is very deep. Toriyama even created the well-known Dr. Masilite based on this editor as the prototype.

However, when the senior management issued a transfer order to ask Kazuhiko Toshima to take charge of other work, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only follow it.

This is the social atmosphere and corporate culture in Japan. I can only say that if you are unhappy, don’t play.

So, after Takahashi Tokuo's protest was invalid, he really stopped playing.

Tokuo Takahashi felt that no matter whether he stayed in the JUMP editorial department or left, he would never be able to serve as the editor-in-chief of Masami Cheda. Instead of continuing to endure the "tyranny" of the senior management, it would be better to leave casually and let those superiors who forced themselves eat turtles.

When Tokuo Takahashi's resignation letter was placed on the desk, Torishima Kazuhiko cursed in a rare swear word.

In a good company like Shueisha, which is one of the best in Japan, and has obtained a formal membership position that is equivalent to worry-free for life. I don’t know how many people’s dreams are, Takahashi Tokuo actually quit.

Moreover, less than a few days after he resigned, he actually joined the editorial department of "Weekly Boy Sunday".

Although poaching among peers is a taboo thing, who said that Xiaoxueguan is the parent company of Jiyingshe, which holds 50% of the shares?

The JUMP editorial department could only protest a few words about this matter, and then endured it.
