Chapter 227 Recommended

Whether in Huaxia or in District 11, the popularity of Chess Soul continued to rise.

After "sn" was published, the third volume of "Soul of Chess" was released at the same time.

Without the blessing of animation, the weekly sales of the third volume reached 450,000 copies.

When Ye Hexu learned of this data, he grinned.

"What's the matter? Compared with the hunting abyss, the chess spirit is still far behind." Jian Xiaomei explained.

"It's far away, but I already feel the pressure, although I don't know where this pressure comes from." Ye Hexu put his hands behind his head.

Jian Xiaomei raised her brows slightly, and now the new volume of Hunting Abyss has exceeded 700,000 in a single week. With such an obvious advantage, Ye Hexu is still not at ease?

"You can guess that if s continues to be updated, it might be hotter than Hunting Abyss now." Ye Hexu suddenly shook his head again, "After all, s is not serialized on r."

"It's just not comparable at all." Jian Xiaomei said seriously.

"However, I always feel that after the last few words, the chess spirit is about to gain momentum." Ye Hexu said softly.

Momentum?

Jian Xiaomei is at a loss. Although the plot of the soul of chess is more popular with readers recently, is it really so easy to talk about the momentum?

No matter what others think, she doesn't quite believe it.

Shonen p editorial department, meeting room.

The editors huddled together and looked at the leaderboard of a forum.

After the latest releases of the major magazines, many forums voted on the popularity of the comics published in the magazines.

The rhythm of Slam Dunk's comics has slowed down a bit recently, but since the protagonist didn't play, the readers' emotions haven't fluctuated much. Instead, they are looking forward to the protagonist's performance in the next game, especially, the next game is the knockout round.

Readers' expectations have also been converted into the number of votes for "Little Book". So far, the ranking of Slam Dunk has not dropped, but the number of votes has increased.

This situation is exactly the same as the comments and popularity on the Internet, which proves that the speed reduction of slam dunk is extremely successful.

"Ishizawa, I didn't expect Tamagawa-sensei to suddenly let the protagonist's team lose the game, and the effect is not bad. Not only did the vote not fall, but the feedback from the online readers seems to be good." A middle-aged editor laughed.

"Haha, Team Leader Kotani, this is entirely my luck. When I first saw that chapter n, I was also taken aback." The editor known as Ishizawa scratched his head and smiled, "Later, Teacher Tamagawa gave me After explaining the reason, I think his idea is also reasonable. So, I agreed with his approach. Speaking of it, you may not believe it. When I made this decision, I still thought in my mind, if it really doesn’t work , I submitted my resignation. I didn’t expect to come back to life.”

"If you submit your resignation letter, I'm afraid the editor-in-chief will not agree."

After listening to Xiao Gu's words, Ishizawa narrowed his eyes and smiled without answering.

Sitting in front of the computer screen, Yokoi sneered, Ishizawa is the kind of person who gets cheap and acts good.

He had never heard of an editor leaving for this reason, unless the editor didn't want to do it in the first place. Moreover, he can be sure that even if the ranking of Slam Dunk really drops, Ishizawa will not resign.

"By the way, the third comic is called Soul of Chess. The name is familiar, but I haven't read it much. What kind of comic is this?" Team leader Xiaogu looked down. The comics are far from the popularity of slam dunk,

Even the popularity of the second place is much higher than him.

"Go manga, serialized on R." Yokoi explained.

"Ah? R's comics, I'm a little scared now. The sales volume of the single volume from Hunting Abyss to now is barely paying back. The magazine almost suffered a loss." Xiaogu pushed the glasses frame, not very optimistic.

Yokoi wrinkled his nose, and Kotani was not too young, it was impossible to learn Chinese, and he probably didn't have the heart to watch the Soul of Chess.

It's not that Hunting Abyss is not good, but that the author's writing skills are still shallow, and some points are deducted for the storyboard of fierce fighting. Compared with other comics, it has little advantage. Moreover, the animation of hunting the abyss has just been introduced, and the sales should be much better in the future.

"The recent results of Hunting Abyss are okay? There is still one week in this month, and 200,000 copies have already been sold."

A voice suddenly came from behind Kotani.

Xiaogu hurriedly turned around, but saw a tall, thin middle-aged man with short hair standing behind him. At this moment, the middle-aged man was looking at him sharply.

"Chief editor. No, Hunting Abyss has released seven books and only sold 200,000 copies in a single month. It shouldn't be too good, right?" Xiaogu explained.

"The animation of Hunting the Abyss will start broadcasting in January, and sales should increase. Moreover, the author has only been drawing for two years, so we can give a little more time. Besides, if the story does not jump, the more popular the blood comics are, the later they will be. High." The editor's gaze moved to the monitor again, "How is it? Are there any good foreign comics?"

"No." Xiaogu shook his head and said, "Works like Legend of the Dragon King have never been found."

"Really?" The editor-in-chief rubbed his chin, then glanced at Yokoi who was sitting in front of the screen, "Yokoi, come with me."

Yokoi was taken aback for a moment, then stood up immediately, and followed Yokoi into the next meeting room nervously.

After closing the door, the editor-in-chief signaled Makoto Yokoi to sit down, and then asked, "I'm going to Huaxia next week to promote our works. By the way, I want to find some popular manga to read. Do you have any recommendations? "

Yokoi scratched his head, "The top few comics in Huaxia have all been imported, and the famous ones are probably only the leaping comics."

"Flying can't do it, the cost is too high." The editor-in-chief rubbed his chin. The copyright of Huaxia comics is not in the same magazine. , "That's a pity. This trip to China will probably be rather monotonous."

Hearing this sentence, Yokoi suddenly had the urge to speak, but in the end he swallowed it abruptly.

"What do you have to say?" The editor-in-chief saw Yokoi's face change and quickly returned to normal, so he guessed what Yokoi was thinking.

"I think there is a manga that is quite good, but its popularity is not ranked among the top few in China for the time being. However, there may be a chance to become popular in the future." Yokoi Ma said.

"What comic?"

"Soul of Chess, a competitive comic with the theme of Go."

"very funny?"

"It depends on how readers view this manga, and although it has not been introduced now, some forums have ranked it in the top three of competitive manga." Yokoi said.

"Soul of Chess?" The editor-in-chief frowned slightly, "I'm going to Huaxia next week, shall I ask about this comic?"

"Next week, are you going to n? The soul of chess is serialized in r." Yokoi reminded.

"What's the matter? We're just asking about the comics. Besides, the two magazines are in the same city, so it's more convenient to ask." The editor-in-chief's tense face finally showed a smile, and he muttered to himself, "It's interesting to be ranked in the top three."
