Big Manga

On November 14, "Weekly Gemini (Month)" was released.

This magazine does not have the channels of Zhongxia Bookstore, but thanks to the rapid development of Phoenix Company in the past few years, the sales volume of "Weekly Gemini (Month)" has surpassed that of "Weekly Girl" three years ago. It is also among the best in magazines. The biggest difference between it and "Weekly Girl" is the sales location, and its main sales location is in the Far East.

In Hokkaido, a manga shop just opened next to Takashima’s ramen shop. This comic shop was established by a few young comic lovers who encouraged Takashima Koko. Takashima Koko's parents are the vice president of Sakura Huā Company, and it is convenient to purchase.

Today is the first day of opening, and the young partners were busy receiving and displaying comics last night, and almost stayed up all night. The members who were originally arranged to rest in shifts also chose to help out because of the tension and anxiety in their hearts.

"It's the first time to do business, so it will go well"

"I have invested all my savings since I was a child. What if I lose money?"

Half of these young people are students like Takashima Koko. After starting a business on impulse, they began to get nervous.

The business hours of the comic shop are from 7:00 am to 22:00 pm, but at 6:30, these nervous young people decided to open for business first - half an hour in the morning, maybe they can sell a few more comics!

"I'm going to open the door!"

Jin Jingli volunteered. She walked to the gate with bloodshot eyes, and then slowly raised the shutter door, but it was less than half a meter high. Kanai Rei seemed to hear something. She stopped suddenly, then squatted down and looked outside, and then. She froze.

"Li-chan, what's wrong?"

A girl asked nervously, did something happen?

"Ah outside, outside"

Rei Jinjing came to her senses, then stood up, turned her head with joy and said, "There are more than a dozen people outside!"

The others in the comic shop were taken aback.

"No way!"

The two boys excitedly ran over, and then helped to open the shutter door.

As soon as the door is opened, the outside world is revealed. There was a thin mist floating in the street, but this did not prevent a few young people from seeing the crowd standing in front of the comic shop.

A dozen women stood outside. These women are of different ages. There are junior high school girls in sportswear who seem to be doing morning exercises, women in professional attire who seem to be going to work, and housewives with dogs and baskets. When the women saw the comic shop open, they all walked towards the shop.

"Is the newly opened comic shop here getting stock quickly? Has today's "Weekly Gemini (Month)" arrived?"

"Is Mr. He Xi's new work serialized in "Weekly Gemini"!?"

The women asked questions as soon as they entered the door, and Li Jinjing and the others were taken aback. Then immediately smiled.

"Yes, "Weekly Gemini" arrived last night, this way please!"

"Xiao Xun, go to the counter and help with the checkout!"

The comic shop began to get busy, and the young people in the comic shop were very happy. They had no money to advertise, and no one expected that there would be so many customers on the first day of opening.

Koko Takashima breathed a sigh of relief. She found that the customers seemed to be buying "Weekly Gemini (Month)", so she went to the comic shop and moved out more magazines. But the magazine just moved out. Another group of guests came outside, and Takashima Koko had to carry a new magazine with a companion.

"I didn't expect that "Weekly Gemini" would be so popular. Phoenix Company has four magazines a week, plus volumes and other comics. Xiangzi, it seems we are going to make a fortune!"

The boy who moved the magazine with her said that Takashima Koko smiled slightly, she didn't know if she got rich or not, but she was sure that she would not lose money.

"Meng Jun is really amazing, and the new work is super popular!"

Takashima Koko thought of that person again. She sighed inwardly, then bent down and picked up the magazine.

Far East. Such a newly opened comic shop has been influenced by He Xi's new works, those old comic shops,

Naturally, he was surrounded by women early in the morning.

In this area across the sea from the mainland, Phoenix Company has already monopolized all the comics market. Everyone who reads comics knows why, and "Gundam Seed" has added millions of female fans to him. The density of these female fans even exceeds that of China, where there is the largest group of 'female fans' in the world.

In the Far Eastern District, women on the seventh floor follow the custom and give up their jobs after marriage and choose to take care of their husbands and children at home. This model has brought about a greater pursuit of female entertainment. Family dramas, idol dramas, as well as women's novels and comics are all very popular here. Half of the total sales of each issue of "Weekly Gemini (Month)" come from the Far East.

But corresponding to this is the low popularity of "Weekly Gemini (Month)" in China.

Its sales volume in mainland China is far behind that of "Weekly Girls" and the girls' magazine of Zhongxia Company. The sales of "Weekly Girls" in the Far East region accounted for 25% of the total, and the sales of all the manga magazines of Zhongxia Company in the Far East region were not outstanding - so whether "Dragon and Tiger" could be successful , What kind of confrontation will there be between it and Angel's new comics, it all depends on the sales situation in regions other than the Far East.

The eyes of the reporters were fixed on the city with the most prominent contradictions - Ninghai.

This city can be said to be a battleground for military strategists in the comics industry, and it has been the center of the struggle between Phoenix Company and Zhongxia Company over the years. This year, Phoenix Company relocated to Suhua, but He Xi's influence is still deeply rooted in this city. All the media want to know what kind of scenes will be brought about by the simultaneous release of the two comics.

"Phoenix vs. Zhong Xia, He Xi vs. Angel will have a fight today, just like the name of Teacher He Xi's new work!"

"Dragon and Tiger" - many reporters have the same idea, they can use the name of this comic as the headline of tomorrow's newspaper. "Who is the dragon and who is the tiger" is actually not important, and there is almost no suspense. "Zhongxia Daily" will not lose to "Weekly Gemini (Month)" in any case. The key today is not the outcome of the comics, but " The popularity of Weekly Gemini (Month)!

Can He Xi create the miracles of the past? Whether the 'angel' can create a perfect suppressing effect on He Xi in the comics, and then use this to win the time for "Flame Boy" to win, everything depends on today's situation.

Early in the morning on the 14th, before dawn, many TV stations, newspaper offices and news websites were dispatched neatly.

Several key areas and bookstores in Ninghai City where comics were released were first occupied by reporters before the readers arrived. (to be continued)
