Chapter 52: Only Prepared Mental Patients Get Opportunities
"All editors! Come to the meeting!" Takashi shouted seriously as he walked out of his office.
Ayumi, Hiroshi, and a group of veteran editors looked at each other, but stopped working and followed Takashi into the meeting room.
After all the editors entered,
Takashi frowned and said: "That's right. I just received a call from Haruna. She said that sensei Kaito Nakamura suffered a stroke last night and was admitted to the hospital."
Haruna Suzuki is Kaito Nakamura's editor-in-charge. Last night, she received a call from Kaito Nakamura's assistant and rushed to the hospital early in the morning.
Everyone present was shocked to hear Takashi's words.
A stroke is no trivial matter. If you're not careful, you'll die.
"Although sensei Nakamura has been rescued, his current condition is still not optimistic."
Takashi took a deep breath and said: "So his work "Wan Shen Mo Kai" will announce the suspension of its serialization in the next issue, and it will be indefinitely suspended..."
Everyone was indignant. "Wan Shen Mo Kai" is a weekly magazine that is part of "Manga World Gogo".
Although it hasn't been very popular lately, and at one point the popularity survey dropped to last place,
if there weren't a weekly magazine, every issue of "Manga World Gogo" would become much thinner.
However, there is a minimum number of pages required for each issue.
The number of pages and content has always been more, not less.
After all, many manga fans have subscribed to "Manga World Gogo" for half a year or even a whole year. They have paid the full pre-subscription, according to the specification of 350 pages per issue.
They suddenly reduced the number of pages, not just one or two, but at least 18.
This... regular subscribers definitely won't be able to justify it.
The company places great importance on word-of-mouth and reputation. "Manga World Gogo" is the foundation of the manga industry.
They are still leaders in the industry and are followed by countless colleagues and competitors.
It is said that the biggest business war is waiting for friendly companies to make mistakes.
If there is really a problem in the manga world, it will face publicity and attacks from colleagues and competitors.
Therefore, this kind of thing will definitely not be allowed in the manga world.
"Now we have to find a way to compensate for the lack of serialized content in "Wan Shen Mo Kai"."
Takashi asked: "Is any sensei planning to start a new work recently?"
He wanted to ask if any veteran manga authors were planning to start a new work.
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
"No, and time is tight. The printing and typesetting of the next issue of the magazine will be sent to the major printing factories at least the day after tomorrow morning," said a chief editor in charge of typesetting with a wry smile.
"It's too late to look for new works..."
Another chief editor added: "So it's best to have a monthly or bi-monthly publication with extra manuscripts to replace the weekly task, as happened when sensei Linlang suddenly stopped publishing three years ago."
"Manga World Gogo" has been published for so many years, and naturally it's not the first time it has been affected by such a sudden suspension.
After all, people can have problems.
Suddenly, Takashi felt a slight hope in his eyes: "So which editor in charge of monthly and bi-monthly magazines knows which sensei has saved manuscripts?"
He looked at the six editors. "Manga World Gogo" currently has four bi-monthly publications and eight monthly ones.
And these six editors, including Ayumi, are responsible for these publications.
In theory, the serialization tasks for monthly and bi-monthly magazines are not that heavy.
It is perfectly possible to have saved manuscripts for half a month or even a month.
However, four editors responsible for the bi-weekly and monthly publications shook their heads with a wry smile.
"It's impossible for sensei Yingyue to save manuscripts. I even have to call him or visit him every month to urge him to submit them."
"Sensei Fenghuangyuan is the same. He announced he wouldn't be publishing the latest issue."
"Yes, several sensei from the monthly magazine are like that. They can't be found. It is estimated that not only can they not save manuscripts, but they might not be able to submit them for the next issue."
...
Compared to bi-weekly publications, which are mostly newcomers, the mangakas of monthly publications are basically veterans.
They are veterans with famous and very popular works. They have achieved financial freedom, so it is very difficult for them to submit manuscripts.
These veterans can even become useless over time. After communicating with editors in advance to arrange other works to replace their serialization slots, they might suddenly announce an indefinite hiatus.
So asking these veterans to save manuscripts is like asking Togashi when he will resume serialization.
Takashi was helpless, and he knew it very well.
It was unrealistic to expect sensei from the monthly magazine...
But at that moment...
"Chief editor! Amamiya-san has saved manuscripts!"
Everyone present looked at... Ayumi.
Hiroshi also looked at Ayumi, next to him. In fact, he also wanted to say that Yusuke Sato had saved manuscripts.
After all, this was a weekly serialization slot! From a bi-weekly to a weekly magazine, the mangaka will not only receive more royalties, but
even the plot that will be serialized every week will greatly increase his popularity.
But the one who recently helped Yusuke Sato improve the plot of "Psychic Warlock" knew very well that to improve it...
Yusuke Sato almost had no time to draw a new episode.
Even if he had, he would feel tired after working day and night to improve the plot during that period, and he would also need to rest.
So "Psychic Warlock" had no saved manuscripts.
He couldn't compete for this weekly serialization opportunity.
Speaking of which serious mangaka would draw and save manuscripts in advance!
Isn't it crazy to have saved manuscripts? Takashi was overjoyed to hear this. In that case, let Amamiya-san's "Edgerunners" temporarily replace the weekly publication of "Wan Shen Mo Kai".
"Ayumi, inform Amamiya-san and ask him to submit his manuscript at least tonight."
He didn't intend for "Edgerunners" to directly replace the weekly publication of "Wan Shen Mo Kai".
He only said temporarily.
After all, the design will be sent to the major printing factories the day after tomorrow at dawn, and this is also a provisional measure.
If "Edgerunners" really wants to directly replace the weekly publication of "Wan Shen Mo Kai", unless...
The popularity of the weekly publication of "Edgerunners" is quite high.
"Yes! "I will immediately inform Amamiya-san and ask him to submit his manuscript today," Ayumi said enthusiastically.
In this way, Akatsuki Cultural Company's official website, official media, and the new issue of "Manga World Gogo" announced that the author of "Wan Shen Mo Kai" was on sick leave, and expressed their condolences and offered him help.
At the same time, it was announced that "Edgerunners" would replace "Wan Shen Mo Kai" in this issue of the weekly series.
