God Descends the Second Element

"I think everyone knows that in the past, in addition to the daily meetings of editors, this conference room would also decide whether the next work will continue to be serialized, and today is no exception!"

Shuji Matsumoto said sonorously and forcefully, and everyone's hearts suddenly tightened.

Most of the cartoonists present had nervous looks on their faces, and more doubts in their hearts, because for cartoonists, this meeting can be said to be extremely ridiculous!

Yes, it’s ridiculous!

Because after all, having cartoonists participate in editors’ meetings is an incredible thing in itself, just like having all employees participate in high-level layoff meetings.

What's more, it can be said that it is unprecedented for Matsumoto Shuji to suddenly attract almost all cartoonists from Shueisha, including the "Big Three", to participate in the serialization meeting.

Sitting aside, Yoshihiro Togashi narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that something very interesting would happen today.

Shuji Matsumoto looked around and clearly saw the expressions of most cartoonists at this time. He couldn't help but sigh slightly when he saw this.

He naturally knows what he did today, but now he has to do it. He has no way to watch the glory of Weekly Jump be destroyed in his own hands. There are too many things here, even though there is little hope. , but he only has one choice: moving forward, right?

"I believe that everyone here still has doubts about today's meeting. I also want to say sorry to everyone who took time out of their busy schedule to attend this meeting. Thank you very much for coming to this meeting!!"

At this moment, the old man's white hair on his temples, which should have been dull, gave birth to a very dazzling light, and a bright light flashed in his eyes. He stood up again and bowed slightly to everyone, as if he had returned to his former full-blooded self. when.

Seeing Shuji Matsumoto's appearance, even those who were a little lazy at first became completely serious at this time, and the entire conference room was filled with a dignified atmosphere.

At this point, Yoshihiro Togashi shook his head and smiled, seemingly upright and said: "Haha, editor-in-chief Matsumoto is too polite. The great Mr. Lu Xun once said that time is all squeezed out."

Hearing this, most people present immediately rolled their eyes. Although Mr. Lu Xun did say this, everyone always felt that something was wrong, or that there was something wrong somewhere?

Of course, there is indeed nothing wrong with what Mr. Lu Xun said, so the source of this sense of dissonance can only lie in the person who said it.

Because no matter how you look at it, this sentence was said by Yoshihiro Togashi, who dragged the king, and it was so inconsistent!

"Why are everyone looking at me? Didn't Mr. Lu Xun say this?"

Feeling the attention of everyone, Yoshihiro Togashi touched his nose quite depressedly, with no self-consciousness on his face at all.

Well, there is no need to think too much about it, this person is definitely the source of the sense of disobedience!

"Ahem..."

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Kitahara coughed lightly, signaling the cartoonist to stop. He didn't want other cartoonists here to be led astray.

After all, except for Kubo Daito, Tomigashi Yoshihiro and Yabuki Kentaro, the other mangakas present are only newcomers who have been serialized two or three times at most. Among them, the longest serialization time in Weekly Jump is only more than two years.

It was originally a serious meeting, but Yoshihiro Togashi made such a fuss, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

"Editor Iida, is there any problem with the vote count?"

After seeing that the scene had calmed down, Shuji Matsumoto also spoke softly at this time, looking at Ayano Iida in the lower left seat, and everyone also looked over.

"no problem!"

Feeling the gazes of everyone in the conference room, Iida Ayano broke out in a slight cold sweat on her forehead. Even a strong working woman like her who had experienced many ups and downs in the workplace was nervous like never before.

It is no exaggeration to say that today's meeting is enough to be recorded in the history of the comics industry. After all, this is the first special serialization meeting held by Shueisha, one of the "Big Three" of comics.

Although she was nervous, Iida Ayano did not panic with her hand movements. She calmed down after taking a deep breath. After all, she was no longer a rookie entering the workplace.

"Please watch the big screen."

Ayano Iida quickly opened the file she had prepared on her laptop. A ranking data table immediately appeared on the big screen in the conference room. Everyone also turned their attention to the big screen with different expressions.

Shuji Matsumoto frowned slightly and secretly glanced at Yoshihiro Togashi. The latter calmly picked up the tea cup, blew the hot air gently, and drank the tea calmly, seemingly not seeing anything.

On the large screen that was originally blank in the conference room, there were now 20 new rankings. Wang Hao also looked over and frowned immediately.

Looking from top to bottom in order, the first thing that comes into view is the full-time hunter who is ranked first!

It’s not unusual for the full-time hunter to be ranked first, but what’s shocking is the incredible data! The votes for "Hunter" almost crushed all other works!

That's right, it's crushing!

It is not an exaggeration to use the word crushing, because compared with Full-time Hunter, the number of votes received by other works is simply appalling.

It can even be said that there is no comparison at all. The only outstanding one is the work of Mr. Kentaro Yabuki, but it still cannot be compared with the full-time hunter.

Just look at the string of data behind the full-time hunter, and no one in the room made a sound.

Both the cartoonist and the editor chose silence at this time.

In this age where death has ended, the full-time hunter reappears as a near-invincible figure.

Even if it can't be compared with the peak of the phenomenon-level manga "Death", it's not far behind.

Taking this data alone, this data is already comparable to phenomenal comics!

The full-time hunter received 90% of the votes!

Especially most of the cartoonists present turned red when they saw the votes their works received. They felt ashamed, their cheeks turned red and hot, and they lowered their heads deeply.

In the past, the final result of the serialization meeting was for the editor in charge to tell the cartoonist alone that it would be as shameful as exposing his dark history to others like today.

Wang Hao lowered his head deeply, making it impossible to see the expression on his face clearly. The hands on his legs had been clenched into fists unconsciously.

Seeing this, Ayano Iida next to him sighed deeply and said nothing more.

The scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone seemed to be in a strange space.

At this moment, a sudden burst of cold laughter suddenly rang out.

"Does this level make you speechless? Is this the person who claims to be a cartoonist but can't stand the blow? If you can't even accept this level of failure, then you might as well go to the zoo in Tokyo. Find a rhinoceros in heat and kick that stupid head to wake it up, then recognize the reality, pack up and get out!!!”
