Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?.

Chapter 151 "Parasyte" will be the third from the bottom?

"Parasyte" received 2215 votes. When this data appeared on the screen, more than a dozen editors of this magazine hissed in surprise almost in unison.

But everyone knew that this was not a sign of surprise at how terrifying this boy was, but rather an expression of his approval of the minister's accurate prediction.

Everyone's eyes turned to the pseudo-head of the main publication department, Hayato Hyakki.

The reason why he is a pseudo-minister is naturally because he has been suspended and is no longer in his nominal position.

But the real power is still in his hands, and it will not be shaken in the short term at least.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha——" Hyakki Hayato laughed triumphantly.

No one dared to interrupt, and the laughter echoed in the basement office of our magazine department for a long time.

How long has it been since you heard the minister's smug laughter?

Some senior editors knew that the last time they laughed so long was because they delayed the release of a young cartoonist's single volume.

Newcomers who offend the minister will be punished. This has been the rule of our magazine for many years. The editors will do it without the minister even saying anything.

As for the old people who have offended the minister…the newcomers who have offended the minister will have no chance to become old people.

The old editor began to formally analyze the popularity list: "Ahem, the above data is as you can see. The first and second least popular works are "Hermitage Nine Maru Biography" and "Girl Killer". Of these two works, please give a warning to the editor for the latter. The former has been ranked in the bottom two twice. If everyone has no objection, please ask the editor in charge to inform the author to complete it within two issues."

A young editor nodded heavily.

The comic I was following was cut short, which was not only a blow to the author, but also very painful for the editor.

The old editor raised his glasses and continued, "Then the third from the bottom is Parasyte. Please edit... uh..."

He suddenly realized that this work was sent directly to the web department for typesetting and printing, without even an editor.

Hayato Hyakki suddenly spoke up, his voice full of pride: "Tell the web department! Parasyte has been warned to be discontinued!"

"Hi!" The old editor bowed.

At this time, Hayato Hyakki received a call.

"Hello? Watsuki Kosuke, hahaha, the popularity rankings are out, and your votes are more than twice as high as Oda Shingo! He only has more than 2000 votes, and you have more than 5000 votes!"

Hayato Hyakki was talking loudly on the phone, not avoiding anyone in the publication department.

Everyone listened quietly and the meeting was suspended.

His authority is constantly being demonstrated, and even though he is nominally out of office, he will not tolerate any provocation.

The laughter of Kousuke Watsuki could be heard faintly from the microphone: [I said he just took advantage of public opinion, but he is not good enough in terms of real ability!]
"Yeah, yeah! How can that guy compare with a genius like you?" Hyakki Hayato laughed happily again, and Watsuki Kosuke who was on the phone also cooperated very well in the business complimenting each other.

Hyakki Hayato hung up the phone with satisfaction, and then reminded an intern editor of the magazine department: "Go make this list into a sign and post it in the elevator!"

One editor immediately flattered him: "Your decision is brilliant!"

Hyakki Hayato burst into laughter again.

"Wait, wait a minute, um, um..." The editor who just uploaded the data suddenly spoke.

Although his voice was timid, his expression seemed to indicate that he had something to say.

The old editor asked, “What’s wrong?”

"Uh, the voting data from the web department has been synchronized..."

The web voting data is the votes of readers who subscribed to the electronic version of "Jump" on the Internet. Since they also paid the regular fee and it is not a subscription to a single comic, but the electronic version of the magazine, the voting rights should be the same as the physical voting card.

However, the popularity votes of web subscriptions have never been very high, and are almost the same as the physical voting trends, so they have little impact on the popularity vote. In addition, since this data is not processed by our department, it has not been taken seriously.

The old editor said, "It's only a few hundred votes. How come it shakes up the last two positions?"

"That... is not a few hundred votes."

"Huh?" "Last time there were less than 500 votes, but this time there are more than 4000 votes! I don't know what happened. I thought there was an error, so I called the web department to recheck it, so I didn't put it up with the physical votes just now."

What happened? Why did the popularity of the website increase tenfold? !

The old editor quickly asked: "Why are you saying it again now?"

The young editor mustered up his courage and said, "The web department replied and confirmed that the data is correct, and also sent the backend verification points. I asked the technical staff to check it, and there is indeed no problem, so I hurried to tell you."

The old editor was sweating a little, and he vaguely realized something.

"Don't tell me, the 4000-plus votes are..."

The scene fell silent.

All the editors, including Hayato Hyakki, widened their eyes.

The old editor swallowed his saliva before continuing to ask, "Are they all from Parasyte?"

The young editor was a little bolder this time, and shook his head: "Of course not all of them. There are 4798 votes in total, of which 4476 votes are for Parasyte."

hiss--

Many editors at the scene made similar hissing noises as before.

"Parasyte" only received 2215 votes physically, but when online voting is included, the number is as high as 6691!
This will rank at number 2, just behind "notouch"!
But "notuch" is the work of Adachi Yutaka, the comics master of Qun Ying Sha for more than ten years! It has always been at the top of the popularity vote. This time, someone actually touched its butt?
All the editors' attention was focused on Hayato Hyakki again.

"..." Hyakki Hayato stood up and came to the young editor's computer. After carefully confirming the accuracy of the data, he chuckled and said, "Don't panic. This guy took advantage of us."

He began to tell everyone the reasons.

"The double bonus for the first serialization allowed Oda Shingo to take advantage of it by publishing 4 chapters in a row."

"This kind of reading continuity is very comfortable, which leads many comic fans to like to vote for him."

"Also, due to the aftermath of the last public opinion, many people claimed to be righteous and voted for him."

"Oh, and more importantly, Oda Shingo started his career on the Internet, so many of his comic fans come from the Internet, and naturally they like online voting."

"So, it's perfectly normal for him to get an advantage in popularity votes this time! There's no need to make a fuss!"

Hyakki Hayato looked calm.

The editors nodded. It sounds reasonable!
The intern editor who was instructed earlier asked at this time: "So, the signboard is printed with the full version of the data, right?"

“……”Many editors cast sympathetic glances at him.

This guy won't make it through his internship.

"Baka!" Hayato Hyakki grabbed a wireless mouse on the table and threw it over.

He returned to his office angrily.

Oda Shingo! You've taken advantage of me this time!

However, at this time, Oda Shingo was being taken advantage of by someone.

Oda Shingo's studio.

Second floor bedroom.

The girl exerted force on her hands, and the boy looked as if in pain but also a little comfortable.

"Does this kind of friction feel good? Is it too strong and hurting you?" Namikaze Youzuru's face turned slightly red as he asked Oda Shingo, "This is my first time helping someone, so I don't know how to control the strength."

Namikaze Yuzuru wipes the sweat off the shirtless Oda Shingo.
