Early in the morning, in the editorial department of "Weekly Young JUMP", the editors who checked in to work gathered in the tea room, drinking fragrant coffee to dispel sleepiness, while talking about gossip about work and life.

"Why didn't Nakano come? He's not late, right?"

"Today is Wednesday, and Nakano is probably on his way to Narita Airport now."

"Oh, so that's it. I'm really envious of being able to travel for public expenses every week."

"Do you really think that this kind of life that you can only get home in the middle of the night when you take a plane on the same day and come back on the plane on the same day is enviable?"

"How to say, if I am Nakano, then it's worth it to get tired every week and run around."

Nakano, whom these editors mentioned, is the editor who is now in charge of "Dragon Ball".

Akira Toriyama lived in the countryside of Aichi Prefecture since childhood and was a native rural boy. Later, after becoming a cartoonist, he came to Tokyo and was very uncomfortable with the crowded and busy fast-paced life in big cities.

So he became famous. After having money, he moved back to his hometown in Nagoya and lived a leisurely life with his wife every day to enjoy the tranquility of the pastoral life.

Well, with the pressure of "Dragon Ball", his life is not as leisurely as possible.

Among the entire Japanese comics, there are probably only Qin Han who is cheating, who can ensure that the comic serialization is completed, and there is plenty of time to do other things.

Akira Toriyama is not interested in high-tech in the Internet era, and does not use fax machines or emails.

Therefore, the original manuscripts of every week must be sent by the JUMP editorial department to Nagoya to retrieve them.

Although for the JUMP editorial department, it takes a valuable time cost and a considerable travel expense for the JUMP editorial department every week, since it is a great god like Toriyama, he can only coax and don’t dare to complain at all.

"At least, after the Nagoya Municipal Government has specially built a expressway to the airport for Akira Toriyama, Nakano will not worry about missing the flight due to traffic jams, so he can only spend the night in the local area."

"Even if Nakano is tired of being a editor for a well-known cartoonist like Akira Toriyama, everyone is envious of it."

"When it comes to the well-known cartoonist... the editorial candidate for Teacher Qin Han, hasn't it been decided yet?"

"I don't know. After Tokuo Takahashi resigned, Torishima editor-in-chief and others had no further information."

"That guy Takahashi is simply Lu Bu from our JUMP editorial department! It would be fine if he resigned, but he actually joined the "Weekly Boy Sunday"!"

"Forget it, there is an idiom in China that says everyone has their own aspirations. Takahashi was also angry that he had the idea of ​​abandoning "Saint Seiya" and left."

"Let's think about yourself. You guys, who is most likely to become the editor-in-chief of Teacher Qin Han? This is a super good job, and it's rare to meet in ten years!"

Qin Han is not only a popular cartoonist, but also has a good reputation in the industry that "never delays manuscripts".

If you are the editor-in-chief of such people, you will have fewer negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, and anxiety. Maybe people can live for a few more years.

"It's probably Goto. He is only responsible for a comic now and is relatively free."

"This is not necessarily true. Although Goto is responsible for few serial comics, he is following up with four potential newcomers. If anyone of the newcomers wins an award and makes his debut, Goto will be busy immediately."

"Where is Inan? He is now the editor-in-chief of Mr. Inoue Yuhiko, but he doesn't have a popular comic, nor does he need to follow up, he is very idle."

"When it comes to idleness, some people should be more idle than Jingnan."

After saying this, a group of editors all looked at a young man who had not spoken but was just holding coffee and looking at the view outside the window.

This young man is called Hamaguchi Hiroshi.

At this time last year, he was also the editor-in-chief of Ryuzo Toyoshima, the most promising young cartoonist in "Weekly Young JUMP".

He was originally full of energy and hoped that with his own efforts, together with Ryuzo Toshima, the comic "Thunder Swordsman" would become more and more popular, and even surpass those dazzling predecessors and become one of the new four kings of JUMP.

But with Ryuzo Toshima being imprisoned, everything changed.

Although Toshima Ryuzo suffered because of his private life, he had nothing to do with Hiroshi Hamaguchi.

However, such a big thing happened, including comics, magazines, peripherals, animation authorization, etc., which caused Shueisha to lose billions of yen at once, and someone must be responsible.

The former editor-in-chief of Toshima Kazuhiko was about to step down, so he took the blame for the matter of Toshima Ryuzo, which was considered to be a final contribution to the editorial department.

As for the remaining responsibilities, it is naturally necessary to let Hiroshi Hamaguchi take on it.

The editor-in-chief has taken the blame. Do you, the editor who has direct contact with the person involved, still want to stay out of the matter?

As a result, Hiroto Hamaguchi lost all the bonuses from last year and his income was reduced by half. Moreover, he had no important job since then. He was responsible for only a cartoonist who ranked 18th in the Weekly Young JUMP and was about to be cut in half to make a place for Qin Han's "Midfield Core".

Most of the rest of the time, he just deals with the endless stream of newcomers' contributions.

This kind of life without hope is really a bit difficult.

Hiroto Hamaguchi regrets it very much. He blamed himself for being too immersed in the success of "Thunder Swordsman" and why he didn't pay much attention to the changes in Ryuzo Toshima's life.

If Ryuzo Toshima had not framed Qin Han because of jealousy, and if he could restrain himself in his private life, perhaps this young and promising cartoonist would not have ended like this now.

Hiroto Hamaguchi also considered resigning, but he still couldn't bear to have such a stable and well-paid job. More importantly, he loves comics and likes to work in the publishing industry.

The joy of discovering a newcomer with potential, or helping a cartoonist grow step by step, and finally gaining success is irreplaceable.

Because he is not attracted to work now, he seems to be in a cold palace, so Hiroshi Hamaguchi is completely transparent in the editorial department. He has never interrupted the topic he discussed before.

At this time, seeing the others looking at each other, the Hiroshi Hamaguchi felt a little helpless.

"What are you... watching me?"

"Hamkou, this time, maybe you will become the editor-in-chief of Teacher Qin Han."
