Faced with the question from Shinji Minekura, Hiroshi Hamaguchi was a little afraid to look at the other person's eyes.

I just informed the other party that the comic was cut in half, and then told him that he had become the editor-in-chief of Qin Han - and it happened that Qin Han was one of the reasons why the comic was cut in half.

Although objectively speaking, Hiroshi Hamaguchi was not wrong. Being the editor-in-chief of Qin and Han dynasties was also appointed by the above, not his own wish. However, from the subjective perspective of Shinji Minekura, some Hiroshi Hamaguchi abandoned themselves and their comics and hugged the thighs of famous cartoonists.

Because Minekura Shinji was just getting bad news that his comic was about to be cut in half, he was emotional and difficult to think rationally. He would inevitably get stuck in the verge of speculation and guess others from the worst angle.

Hiroto Hamaguchi worked with Shinji Minekura for more than two years and knew that the other party's personality was a bit extreme, but he still chose to tell the truth.

"Mr. Qin Han's new editor is me." Hiroto Hamaguchi nodded.

"Hahahaha!" Minekura Shinji poured a glass of soju and laughed wildly, "So that's it, Hamaguchi. It seems that "I have failed "The Dragon Son" and I have no value in your eyes. I have said before that I should work hard with me and try my best to save "The Dragon Son". What's the result? After becoming the editor-in-chief of a famous cartoonist like the Qin and Han dynasties, I was so proud that I completely threw my responsibility here. I guess... When the editor decided to cut "The Dragon Son" in half, you didn't mention any objection?"

People who are too broad-minded are talking about it.

Today he was immersed in the joy of becoming the editor-in-chief of Qin and Han. Being able to take charge of "Midfield Core" such as "Midfield Core" that was destined to leave a name in the history of comics really made him feel a little proud and ignored many other things.

When Kazuhiko Toshima told him that he would cut "The Dragon Sword" in half to make a serial position for "The Core of Midfield", Hiroto Hamaguchi was reluctant to give up, but he said nothing.

"If I hadn't become the editor-in-chief of Teacher Qin Han, I might have fought for "The Dragon Swordsman" for "The Dragon Swordsman". But when I thought of the editor's decision to free up a serial position for "The Core of Midfield", I kept silent..."

It is easier said than done to say but harder to do.

Although Hiroto Hamaguchi wants to treat everyone equally, he instinctively favors the "Midfield Core" which can achieve great success instead of the "Dragon Son" with a sluggish popularity.

"Hmph, there's nothing to say?" Minekura Shinji looked at Hiroto Hamaguchi with disdain and sneered, "You guy, have always been this kind of virtue. Outsiders, they seem to have strong work ability, but in fact, they are prone to being proud and immersed in their current success. In the past, when "The Dragon Swordsman" voted in JUMP popularity and ranked in the middle, I hoped to discuss with you how to improve it so that this comic can become better and better. However, at that time, you were all focused on "Thunder Swordsman" and kept perfunctory. Later, Ryuzo Toshima was finished, and you started to pay attention to my comic again. But at that time, everything was over."

Shinji Minekura took a bite of the dish and said with a sneer on his lips: "In the past, when "The Dragon Sword" was first serialized, he also won the second place in popularity, but now it's over. When you were the editor-in-chief of Ryuzo Toshima, you didn't fulfill your responsibilities, which made that guy more proud and arrogant, and ended up being over. In your hands, you have ruined two promising comics. Who knows if you will repeat the same mistakes and make "Midfield Core" the third one?"

"you……"

If Shinji Minekura just accuses him, then Hiroshi Hamaguchi can still bear it. However, the other party predicts that he will destroy "Midfield Core" and he can no longer bear it.

However, Shinji Minekura got up and left without waiting for Hiroshi Hamaguchi to speak: "I will send the manuscript of the finale of "The Dragon Sword" to the editorial department by fax. You don't use it for my house. After this comic is finished, I plan to leave JUMP. Moreover, even if I still stay in JUMP, I will never let you be my editor!"

Looking at Xiao Suo's back as Shinji Minekura left, the anger in Hiroshi Hamaguchi's heart quickly dissipated.

"I know I have many shortcomings in my work. But, as Minekura said, I was so outrageously wrong before?"

Hiroshi Hamaguchi finished the wine in his glass with a bitter mood.

He didn't want to go home, but instead returned to Shueisha.

When I came to the JUMP editorial department, I sat down at my desk, Hiroto Hamaguchi took out the original manuscript of "Midfield Core" and read it over and over again.

"Maybe Minekura is right. The two comics "Dragon Swordsman" and "Thunder Swordsman" will not end well, and I have my responsibility. In this case, I must be thriving and devote myself to my work to ensure that "Midfield Core" can get the best start and end smoothly."

It was already late at night, and the entire editorial department was empty and very quiet, but the people of Hamaguchi Hiroshi were still working very energetic.

For "Midfield Core", which is about to begin serializing in magazines, Hiroto Hamaguchi's work, in addition to reviewing manuscripts and communicating with cartoonists, there are also some extra things to do.

For example, write "side language".

This is a jargon in the comics industry, which means that in the comics serialization, the beginning or end, the small blank space outside the storyboard frame, a line of short sentences written.

These short sentences often play a role in connecting the past and opening up the future, highlighting the plot key points, and creating readers' expectation.

For example, if "White Album 2" is adapted into a comic, at the end of a certain episode, the male protagonist Haruki Kitahara is hesitating and intimately in his heart when facing the two heroines, Xiaoki Sora Sona, Touma and Sa.

As for "side language", you can write a sentence similar to "Faced with two equally innocent and passionate feelings, Haruki chose..." to create a sense of expectation and allow readers to urgently buy the next issue of the magazine and see how the plot develops.

Originally, there were still several days before the first issue of "Weekly Young JUMP" in November completed the layout and delivered the printing. Hiroshi Hamaguchi had plenty of time to slowly conceive the "side language" of "Midfield Core". However, he had made up his mind to help "Midfield Core" succeed with all his heart, so he did not want to waste time and think out the "side language" as soon as possible.
