Chapter 1070: Thoughts

Uematsuno made a mute gesture, Tamagawa Haruka understood.

Cartoonist is not a profession that is often exposed to the public. Many cartoonists have no operational contact with readers, but top cartoonists are another matter.

After all, as leaders in the industry, top cartoonists must have their own readership, like Uematsuno and Tamagawa Haruka. If they are recognized, it is inevitable that no readers will come to greet them or ask for autographs.

If one or two are okay, if there are too many people, they will find it cumbersome.

Of course, the occasion is also important.

Places that have nothing to do with comics, such as coffee shops and supermarkets, would be better. After all, not everyone reads comics, but Bnim is the largest comic book store in Tokyo. Anyone who enters the bookstore more or less knows some comics, recognizes Uematsuno or Tamagawa Haruka is no surprise.

Therefore, both of them wore hats, and Uematsuno even wore an extra pair of glasses, so that Tamagawa Haruka was a little suspicious the moment he saw him. After Uematsuno called him, it was confirmed that the person in front of him was the hottest manga artist in the country.

"Long time no see." Uematsuno nodded slightly.

"Long time no see." Tamagawa Haruka also quickly returned the gift.

"That... you also buy ""?" Uematsuno asked.

"I……"

Before Yu Chuanyao could speak in the future, a little boy about ten years old ran over and said, "Uncle, make way."

The two took a step back subconsciously, and the little boy picked up the 18th volume of "" and turned to leave.

Looking at the 18th volume with only one volume left, Tamagawa Haruka didn't know what to say. After being silent for five or six seconds, he asked, "Should there be this volume in the bookstore's warehouse?"

"Probably?" Uematsuno was not too sure.

The two found the salesperson and asked about the situation of "".

"Sorry, there is no stock in the warehouse, and tomorrow will be the soonest." The salesperson apologized.

The two looked at each other, feeling a little helpless.

There was only one manga, and both of them wanted it, but they didn't want to take the initiative to open it. If you want the other party to back down, it also depends on whether the other party has the intention to speak.

"That... I just heard someone say that they don't like """...the sales volume is still so good?" Tamagawa Haruka asked back.

"It's impossible for any manga to satisfy everyone, right? Besides, the sales of the new book "" are already in short supply. Even if one or two people don't like it, we don't need to sell it by force. Just like today, there is only one book left. , it’s hard for the two of you to make a choice, right?”

The two blinked their eyes, but they didn't expect the salesperson to say the same thing.

The two of them could only negotiate again, Tamagawa Haruka took the manga, Uematsuno waited for the book to come tomorrow, and then asked someone to come and pick it up.

It was still raining outside, Uematsuno was about to leave with an umbrella, Tamagawa Haruka stopped him.

"Mr. Uematsu, are you interested in having a cup of tea? Thank you for giving me the book. We haven't communicated for a long time, right? I don't know if it will waste your time."

"You've made time, what am I afraid of?" Uematsuno returned without thinking.

He is creating every day and rarely has time to rest. Seeing Tamagawa Haruka in the bookstore today gave him the urge to chat.

There are two-dimensional tea shops or coffee shops nearby, and the two of them didn't want to be recognized, so they chose a tea house far away from Bnim.

Eight dishes of side dishes and two pots of tea were served, Uematsuno and Tamagawa Haruka sat cross-legged.

"Teacher Uematsu, it's rare to go to Bnim to buy books on a rainy day," Haruka Tamagawa said.

"I just handed in the manuscript, so I have time to take a breather. The 18th volume of "" has just been released, so I came here to buy a book and relax by the way." Uematsuno sighed and drank a cup of tea.

"Ms. Uematsu is very worried."

"Hehe, if you're in my position, you know that I can't relax in the face of a work like ""." Uematsuno shook his head.

"Teacher Uematsu, how do you evaluate ""?" Tamagawa Haruka picked up a skewered oden with squid and took a light bite.

"Before Xiangbei and Hainan,

"" is a first-line sports comic. After Xiangbei and Hainan, it is a hallowed sports comic. I am under a lot of pressure... Especially, the battle between Xiangbei and Lingnan, I always feel that something will happen. Uematsuno was worried.

Tamagawa Haruka chewed the squid feet subconsciously. The "accident" that Uematsuno said is a compliment, which shows that he is also afraid that "" will explode.

"Is it an exaggeration?" Yu Chuan Yao hesitated.

Uematsu shook his head, "How long do you think it took from the episode where Xiangbei and Lingnan entered the arena to the latest episode? Let me tell you, 21 episodes, five months."

Haruka Tamagawa looked at the five fingers stretched out by Uematsuno, startled, "It's been so long?"

Uematsuno nodded, "There are eight minutes left in this game... eight minutes, guess how many more words there will be?"

"I can't guess." Tamagawa shook his head.

"I can't guess either. But I know one thing. Judging from the quality of "" before, the most exciting part of this game is yet to come. A game has been laid out for half a year. When the most exciting plot appears, then The accumulation and release of this kind of emotion may exceed the imagination of ordinary people. I am also worried now, because I found that if I am not careful, """ may surpass "The Gate of Eternal Life"."

Exaggerated?

Yu Chuanyao almost blurted out the words, but he swallowed them once the words had reached his lips.

When the match between Xiangbei and Hainan progressed to the most exciting plot, "" really overwhelmed other comics.

"However, Tachibana's editor-in-chief suddenly airborne "Shounen Leap", which caused some changes in the whole thing." Uematsuno said.

"Animation?" Tamagawa Haruka only knew that the animation of "" was really not very good, not even comparable to "The Strongest Pitcher".

"More than that. Anyway, I think the animation of "" has affected its performance. Of course, it is very good to increase 400,000 copies in one and a half months, but similarly, this animation has also affected its reputation and limited its upper limit. And , it is said that both the editor-in-chief and team leader Xiaogu are more optimistic about "Young Exorcist."

Tamagawa Haruka didn't react a little, took a sip of tea, connected the relationship together, and he had his own speculation.

"Youth Leap" can only collect part of the rights from "" and "Youth Exorcist" completely belongs to "Youth Leap". Not bad.

"Editor-in-chief Tachibana took over from editor-in-chief Murakami, and the support for "" remains the same, but it is not as good as "Young Exorcist", but this is also good. Except for "Young Exorcist", everyone is on the same starting line, and "" has no autumn animation, so the results should fall back. Therefore, "Gate of Eternal Life" may have a chance to maintain its current advantage." Uematsuno rubbed his face, "Of course, the premise is that the plot of "Gate of Eternal Life" is also Be brilliant enough."
