"This is not a joke, is it?"

"I do not believe!"

"quiet!"

Seeing Horiuchi Marue frowned, the editor-in-chief Yamazaki Ryo also slightly scolded.

This sound directly made the editors silent, and then they glanced at Horiuchi Marue, who was in the first place, and everyone was even more silent.

The hierarchy system in Japan is very strict. For example, when Horiuchi Marue, who is the current president, attends the meeting room, the whole meeting room is filled with a sense of solemnity.

So discussions on Mondays are generally not as light-hearted as Wednesdays and Fridays.

Of course, the law does not blame the public. Horiuchi Marue expressed understanding for the disbelief of the editors. After all, even the editor-in-chief Yamazaki Ryo could not believe it, and even he did not dare to believe it. [Marshmallow Novels www.Mianhuatang.com

But this is the truth.

You must know that although Shueisha has a good reputation now, they had a hard time in the past. As a subsidiary company separated from Xiaoxiaoguan, they have been secretly suppressed by Xiaoxiaoguan.

Of course, being under the same group, Xiao Xiaoguan did not dare to go too far, maintaining a seemingly benign competition.

And now, the reputation of Shueisha has surpassed Shogakukan in Japan and even the world, and it is the well-deserved number one publishing house in Japan.

It can be said that although Horiuchi Marue pays attention to other comics in the magazine from time to time, they are basically handed over to Ryoya Yamazaki.

However, Horiuchi Marue, who is the president of "Reaper", is definitely paying attention to it all the time and giving it very strong attention.Because it was this "Reaper" that made Shueisha completely surpass Shogakukan.

So Horiuchi Marue had to pay attention.

As for the fact that the animation will be cut in half, he actually knew it a long time ago.

About a year ago, NHK TV and even the three major TV stations in Japan showed signs of cutting "Reaper" in half, but in that kind of time when there is only one phenomenon-level national comic in Japan, whether "Reaper" should be cut in half depends on It became the object of intense discussion on NHK TV and the three major TV stations.

And now, after almost a year and a half, NHK TV has finally made up its mind to kill "Reaper".

This news made Horiuchi Marue dignified.

According to his information, three comics in the "Weekly Shonen Sunday" under the Shogakukan have recently started to shine.

One is "Inuyasha", one is called "Major League Baseball" and the last one is "Hayate the Butler".

Especially the "Inuyasha", he even saw the signs of "Reaper", but after all, it is from the perspective of women, so the popularity should not be as hot as "Reaper".

As competitors, the two agencies are naturally extremely concerned about each other's news.After all, they are a group.

Most importantly, the "Weekly Shonen Magazine" under Kodansha has also been on the rise recently.

The "Kindaichi Boy Case Book", "First Fist", and "Fairy Tail" under its magazines all have the characteristics of a big hit.

Now "Bleach" is still very popular, but the animation was cut in half. This is a very serious blow. Horiuchi Marue knows very well what this means.

This represents that the popularity of "Reaper" is declining, even to the point of depression.

"How about the letters and comments from the readers of "Reaper" recently?" Horiuchi Marue tapped the conference table with a finger, but the crisp voice made the faces of all the editors look very heavy.

Editor-in-chief Ryo Yamazaki also heard this, and sighed helplessly, "It's not good!"

"Tell me in detail."

"Most readers think that "Reaper" is very amazing at first glance, but now it has highlighted the narrow world view of "Reaper" and the confusion of strength settings.

Some readers even think that the protagonist has too few moves, and only two or three moves come and go.Also, although the battles of masters are more exciting, they are inexplicably instant-killed when it comes to the boss battle, or they just don't fight.

The most important thing is that most readers now think that there is basically no plot when the plot is reached, and it gives them a feeling that the author can draw wherever he thinks of, plus digging holes but not filling them, when adding a new plot, the previous setting will be overturned .And it's also patterned... There are too many of them.

Of course, "Reaper" is so popular, it has many advantages, such as..."

"Okay!" "Reaper" has many advantages, and Horiuchi Marue naturally knows it, otherwise how could it become a phenomenal manga and be called a miracle manga?

However, the manga has been serialized as a long story to the later stage, and it has so many flaws that it has been criticized by most readers, which means that Kubo can no longer control "Reaper".

In fact, according to the rules of "Weekly Shonen Jump", "Reaper" should have been cut in half or ordered to end "Reaper", but even within the rules, there are exceptions.

"Death" is a special case.

Now that the animation has been cut in half, this means that the ratings of the animated version of Bleach have fallen to a certain point.

This made Horiuchi Marue a bit of a headache. The opponents were developing steadily, and they were going downhill. Although it was impossible for "Weekly Shonen Jump" to take jujube pills.

But it is possible that the title of the top three comic magazines will be lost in a year or two.

Either it was surpassed by Shogakukan, or it was surpassed by Kodansha.

No matter which option he chose, it would be a disgrace to him when he was the president.

"Is there any new work that is worth cultivating and operating recently?" This casual sentence made all the editors tremble.

We must know that in the past, Horiuchi Marue would not interfere with the situation of the magazine, and there is basically no situation where it seems that he wants to intervene personally.

But now that the other party has made a gesture, it means that the animated version of "Reaper" has been cut in half. Although "Reaper" will not be cut in half in the comic series in the short term, it will even be serialized until the end.

But this question means that the president wants to develop new works and wants to see if there is any new manga that can replace "Reaper".
