"One,580,000! One,580,000!"

In the Jump editorial department, an editor who had just received a call from the marketing department shouted excitedly.

Others gathered over, and even the editor-in-chief Kazuhiko Torishima, who was in the independent office, was alarmed.

"Sales are reported quickly?"

"One,580,000? No, this number is too exaggerated!"

"Henxiang, did you hear it wrong?"

The editor who asked the hometown to shake his head and said firmly: "Absolutely, I have confirmed it again and again, it is 1.58 million!"

"No, sales are really that good?" Someone took a breath when he heard this number.

"This issue, "Dragon Ball" has been closed. According to predictions, the sales of our magazine should drop a lot. Even if Teacher Qin Han's new work "Midfield Core" has started to be serialized, attracting new readers. However, as one goes up and down, sales can be the same as the previous issue, which is the best result."

"Yes, the popularity of a new comic is about to begin to explode. It has to wait for a month or two to accumulate. I didn't expect that as soon as "Midfield Core" appears, it will be so powerful."

The editors discussed each other with joy on their faces.

Since Ryuzo Toshima entered the bureau, "Weekly Boy Jump" has begun to be in trouble and sales have declined slightly. Later this year, news came out of "Beidou God Fist" and "City Hunter" that it has reached the end of the serialization and is about to be completed. Many people are even more worried about the future of "Weekly Boy Jump".

Now, the long-term depression and depression of the jump editorial department, the breath that each editor holds in his heart is finally wiped out because of the emergence of "Midfield Core"!

After a while of happiness, a group of people found Hiroshi Hamaguchi was still sitting at his desk, dazed and didn't know what he was thinking.

They quickly surrounded and congratulated: "It's a good job, Hamaguchi."

"These days, you work until very late every day before you go home. Thank you for your hard work."

"I remember that just for posters, you should go to Teacher Qin Han's house to communicate several times. The hard work was not in vain."

At this time, Kazuhiko Torishima said to his subordinates: "Is anyone going to have a drink? I'll treat you!"

The editors applauded and scattered around to pack up and prepare to get off work.

Kazuhiko Torishima looked at these subordinates who looked like they had taken advantage of it and couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "A group of unconventional guys."

He patted Hiroshi Hamaguchi on the shoulder: "It's a good job, Hamaguchi. However, a comic from the beginning to the successful completion is a long thing that lasts for years or even decades. Don't relax in the future... You have been staying in the editorial department these days and haven't been home much. If you don't want to drink, go back early to rest."

"I understand, editor." Hiroto Hamaguchi nodded.

Only when Toshima and Hikari walked away did he gently wipe the corners of his eyes.

Just now, when I heard the sales report, Hiroshi Hamaguchi was so excited that he almost shed tears - the hard work these days was not in vain!

Before Kazuhiko Toshima left, he was just trying to calm down.

"The editor of Torishima is right. The comic serialization has just begun. It is a long battle. And for me, the editor of "Midfield Core", the increase in the magazine sales is only one aspect. The most important thing is this comic, which one can rank in the popularity of readers in this issue of the magazine... "Dragon Ball" is now extremely popular and basically an invincible existence. The new "Midfield Core" cannot beat it. "City Hunter" and "Bei Dou Shen Fist" have entered the end of the serialization. Whether it is the audience's enthusiasm for reading or the author's creative passion, they are gradually declining. "Saint Seiya" is the most powerful among the four jump kings..."

"Fortunately, in this issue of magazine, Dragon Ball, is closed. Maybe, "Midfield Core" can win the first place in the popular vote!"

Hiroshi Hamaguchi is not whimsical. In fact, in the history of "Weekly Jump", there are almost countless examples of first-time comics winning high rankings in popularity votes.

Because when a new serialized comic is released, Jump Shueisha will promote it accordingly, and the cover of the current magazine will also adopt the role of the new comic. In addition, there are additional color pages.

Various preferential measures, coupled with readers' freshness about the first serialization, the first issue of the comics serialized on jump can often get a very high ranking.

At the beginning, when the comic "Dragon Son" started to be serialized, it also won the fourth place. However, now it is still facing a half-final ending.

Although the popularity vote in the first issue does not mean that there are many, it is also a good sign if you can rank first.

Hiroshi Hamaguchi walked on the way home with a relaxed mood.

At this time, the author of "Dragon Ball", which is at the top of many comics in his mind, is buried in a garage filled with metal and motor oil.

Toriyama now lives in Kiyosu City, adjacent to Nagoya. This is not only his hometown, but also the place where Oda Nobunaga, the famous sixth heavenly devil king in the Warring States Period.

Now in this small city with a population of less than 70,000, when asked about the citizens, what celebrities are there in Kiyosu City, then the names of Toriyama Akira and Oda Nobunaga will definitely be mentioned.

However, Toriyama returns to this countryside where "birds do not shit" to outsiders, not to enjoy the feeling of returning home in glory, but just to be purified.

A few days ago, because the weather suddenly turned cold, Toriyama caught a cold. So he took this opportunity to simply leave the publication for a week and take a breath.

For professional cartoonists who have been sleeping all day long and have been squeezed to the limit of their sleep, they should certainly seize the opportunity to rest as much as possible.

Akira Toriyama's cold was not serious and he recovered quickly. However, he did not want to return to work immediately.

It’s a rare opportunity, how can I not play more?

This famous cartoonist is very interested in machinery and has a lot of research, so the comics contain those exquisite and interesting vehicles that are very design-oriented and imaginative.

Among all kinds of machinery, Toriyama also loves motorcycles.

This comic master who is not short of money has many motorcycles such as Harley to BMW to Japan's domestic Honda Yamaha.

It’s just that in his spare time, he doesn’t have time to fiddle with even if he bought so many motorcycles.

Like today, being able to wear engine oil all over, holding a wrench screwdriver, and fiddling in the car in the garage all day is simply a supreme happiness for Akira Toriyama.

So even at night, he was unwilling to leave.
