Big Manga

Qingyuan Bookstore is the largest bookstore in Ninghai. However, it is not so much a bookstore as it is a comprehensive bookstore centered on books, including cafes, gymnasiums, computer rooms and other entertainment facilities. It receives readers every day. million people.

He Qian is a temporary employee in the comic section of the book city. Because she can read comics freely, her vision is quite high.

"A good story has to be so revealing. Is this the only way to sell the current comics?" She flipped through a comic book called "The Female Knight", frowning.

As the market for manga adaptations of novels is booming, in order to increase the sales of single volumes, cartoonists always like to play around with the painting style. As a result, it has indeed attracted many male readers, but it has also caused some female readers to be unhappy.

He Qian was one of them, she wanted to read manga instead of porn magazines.

"The best-selling novels are almost adapted, and the quality is getting worse and worse. It seems that there is no time to read it..."

He Qian put down "The Female Knight" while complaining. She sorted out the books that were misplaced by readers as usual. When she was about to leave, she found that there were many readers surrounded by the comic weekly bookshelf, which looked very lively.

"Why is it so lively there?"

She returned to the counter with doubts. Usually, there is always a shortage of readers in comic magazines, and some people go there to read industry news: "Are there any popular novels that are going to be adapted into comics?"

Inside the counter, Bai Ya, who just finished paying for a customer, laughed: "There are no popular novels, this issue of "Weekly Shonen" has an interesting original comic, and everyone is discussing it!"

She looked through the sales records of the computer and said: "Today, the sales of "Weekly Boys" has surpassed that of "The Female Knight". Last week, it didn't sell that many copies in total. The store manager said that there were too few orders and rushed to restock. "

Journal outsells hit volumes?

He Qian was stunned: "What kind of comic is that, a new work by a top cartoonist?"

"No." Bai Ya shook her head, her eyes full of mischief: "Do you still remember the cover of the last issue of "Weekly Boys"? I told you that there was a mysterious author whose pen name was the same as yours, and that new manga was him. s work."

He Qian recalled the last issue of Weekly Boys. On the cover was a strange black figure. It was a trailer for a new serial. I remembered that the name seemed to be "Detective Conan". She wasn't very interested in detective subjects, so she didn't pay attention at the time.

A detective comic has such a strong appeal? He Qian couldn't help being curious, she wanted to squeeze over to have a look, but she didn't want to hinder the readers.

Fortunately, there is a post-it wall at the entrance of the comic area, which is a major feature of Qingyuan Bookstore. The owner of the bookstore got inspiration from the Internet, and there are free post-it notes outside each area. Readers can post their favorite book reviews and impressions on the sticker wall, which can strengthen reader interaction and allow operators to more accurately understand readers' psychology.

He Qian walked to the door and found that the wall of stickers had been covered with dense sticky notes.

Initiation of a new topic: I recommend the new serialization of this issue of "Weekly Shonen". The name of the manga is "Detective Conan". What do you gentlemen think? I think the author's painting skills are superb, combined with the preferences of young people to depict unpopular themes, white but not vulgar, maybe it will become popular. (PS: The last picture is amazing!)

First floor: I agree that the last picture is very beautiful, but the story... Is this a fucking detective story? Is the author kidding us?

Second floor: Thank you for the recommendation of the landlord! The painting style is great, the male lead couldn't be more handsome, it feels like an interesting love comic! But is it really okay to turn the hero into a child in the first episode? What about my poor heroine QAQ! ?

Third Floor: Calm down, sister, I say it doesn't matter, Xiaozheng on the last page is so cute!

Fourth floor: Upstairs +1

Fifth floor: Upstairs +10086, the author won my heart, and finally there is a manga that I can recommend to my sisters!

Sixth floor: (sweating violently),

Don't talk nonsense to the ladies above, this is obviously a serious detective story!

The seventh floor: The IQ of the sixth floor is low. Detective stories are always dull and dark, with a tense atmosphere. Do you feel this way when watching "Detective Conan"? It is clearly a love manga dressed in detective skin, it makes my eyes full of love...

Eighth Floor: Laugh, the IQ upstairs is so high, I absolutely believe that this is a detective comic, although there is only one episode, but the case inside is very detailed, and the reasoning process of the male protagonist is also very good, pure love comics are absolutely not There will be such a rigorous structure and thinking.

Ninth floor: I have the same feeling. This is a detective comic full of youthful atmosphere, and it is estimated to be popular! And the last page is really good, I want to buy it home and cut it out for collection...

Tenth floor: Thanks for the recommendation, is the author really a young genius?

Eleventh floor: Juvenile is a synonym, both Zhengtai and Lolita are possible.

Twelfth floor: Maybe it's the uncle who picks his feet, puff puff...

The thirteenth floor: It must be the uncle who picks feet or the aunt who buys vegetables. Anyway, I don’t believe that young people can draw this kind of content, and the last one is really good. It must be the vest of some professional cartoonist.

Fourteenth Floor: You must have not read the last issue of Weekly Boys, the silhouette of the shadow should be a boy...

After a few casual glances, He Qian was surprised by the readers' comments. There are many people's sticky notes at the back. Regardless of what they are talking about, so many people's comments prove that the comic is quite good.

Just one word can cause a topic?

"Phoenix has come up with an amazing cartoonist this time around."

A voice suddenly sounded, and He Qian was startled. She found an old man standing beside her at some point.

"Shop, store manager, I'm sorry, I'll go to work right away!" He Qian's face turned pale, didn't the store manager go to buy goods? How could he come back so soon? It would be bad if he thought he was being lazy.

The old man smiled: "It doesn't matter, I can understand your curiosity."

He was not angry at all, he stroked his beard and looked at the comments on the sticker wall, and continued: "Last week when I read Weekly Boys, I wondered why they would use black shadows to promote the new series. Today I figured it out, they are pretending The suspense-packed newcomer!"

"what?"

He Qian was a little embarrassed, she felt that she should go to work, but felt that the store manager seemed to be talking to her, whether leaving would make him unhappy.

"It's normal for you to be young and not notice it." The old man glanced at He Qian and said with a smile: "I read today's comic, the drawing skills and content are excellent, and the last picture shows the author's amazing talent. Perhaps last week's "Weekly Boys" used black shadows to promote it as a testament to that talent, as long as more and more people pay attention to it, the identity of the author will be eye-catching."

"When everyone is guessing who the author is, the media will hype it up. The manga author and Phoenix Company can complete the publicity without spending any money... What a powerful method!"

Of course I said so, but as long as the comics are not popular, Phoenix Company's efforts will be in vain.

He Qian became more and more curious about the author of the cartoon: "I heard that the author is a teenager, do you believe it, the store manager?"

The old man laughed.

"If Weekly Boys didn't write this sentence, I definitely wouldn't believe it." He smiled and shook his head: "But they clearly wrote, no one can never show up, the author will be exposed sooner or later, lying is tantamount to self-destruction...they will Is that stupid?"

He Qian opened her mouth wide: "Is that really a young man?"

"Youth" in China refers to children between the ages of twelve and seventeen or eighteen. Although she doesn't know how much a cartoonist can earn, He Qian knows that she can't earn the other party's manuscript fee for a week.

"Why do you use He Xi as a pseudonym?"

She pouted, with the same name and similar age, didn't that guy beat himself on purpose! However, He Qian's mind was completely attracted by that manga, and she had to see what kind of detective manga it was in order to make people full of praise.

At noon, He Qian picked up a copy of "Weekly Boys" during the break, and couldn't wait to read it.

The other content of the entire weekly magazine was as usual, but after finding the page number, a colorful figure map appeared.

"Detective Conan", under the big title is a cute little boy wearing a hat and smiling.

"Is he the protagonist? Very cute!"

He Qian thought to herself, but suddenly found something wrong after flipping through a few pages. The protagonist is obviously a handsome high school detective. This detective is not only handsome, quick-witted, but also very good at playing football. He is a prince charming. The heroine who appeared later is also very special, she can punch through walls with one punch, and she is also the master of karate!

The setting of this manga is great. He Qian fell in love with the hero and heroine within just a few glances. She read it fascinated. The scene where the hero solves the case is so classic, even if she never read detective novels, she can It looks very interesting.

It's just that the development after solving the case seemed a little strange. He Qian continued to read it with doubts, and soon saw the last page.

"Huh?" She stared wide-eyed, and on the last page was a child with the same wide-eyed eyes.

"It's so beautiful!" He Qian had never seen such a beautiful cartoon picture. The boundless aura and charm poured out of the author's pen are just like art paintings.

For a moment, He Qian couldn't help wondering if some traditional painter was entering the comics industry.

She shook her head, frowning and flipped through the previous content again.

"How could a child appear..."

He Qian flipped through too quickly just now and didn't know how the last scene came out. After watching it again, she realized that the male lead had been infused with a mysterious potion and became smaller. What exactly is that medicine? Who are those two men in black?

And the male lead has turned into a child, how can he be with the female lead!

"It's gone at the critical moment." He Qian gritted her teeth, who on earth wrote such a provocative plot, and just a few words so completely broke the reader's mind, that is simply a devil.

After working in the manga section, He Qian hadn't seen such an excellent manga for a long time.

"Ahhh, the next episode will have to wait 7 days, why is it a weekly magazine!"

In the same situation, with the release of "Weekly Boys", there was a wave of panic buying in bookstores all over the country.
