Chapter 284: Brother Killer Saint appears!
Objectively speaking, Noriyama Koyama can become the president. Objectively speaking, he still has a few brushes.
Of course, putting his character aside for the time being, at least his more than ten years of experience in the animation industry made him aware of the anomalies in the current situation of Qunying Club.
Not only because the sales of "Champion" have soared, but the key is that he feels that there is something wrong with the backbone of "Jump"!
So he deliberately invited a market research company to conduct a sampling report.
The latest market sampling report shows that the overall reader satisfaction of "Jump" has not declined significantly, but individual satisfaction is declining rapidly.
As for that single entity...
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Nobuhiro Arakawa.
This big boss in the animation industry ten years ago is still having fun with fans on YouTube.
"I must fulfill my mission as a brave man and always demand myself to be non-confrontational with the devil!" Nobuhiro Arakawa also expressed his personal views in the column, "The brave man and the devil have completely different beliefs. Anyone who wants to stand on the wall with ambiguous attitudes Grass will be cast aside by history!”
What you say is so weird!
Many fans are double fans of him and Oda Shingo. How do such people deal with themselves?
"Okami Arakawa, I just want to ask, am I guilty of liking your manga and also Oda Shingo's manga?"
"You're upstairs, why bother asking? If he thinks you're guilty, you're guilty!"
"I'm blind, how could I like watching "I Become the Commander of the Goblin Tribe"?"
"It's really uncomfortable. I feel uncomfortable picking up "Jump" now. I have to skip the comics on the home page to feel better."
"I feel the same as the person above! I really don't want to open "Goblin Command". How can I be as good as the author? "Goblin Slayer" is actually better!"
"Nobuhiro Arakawa, your "Goblin Leader" has the same virtue as you, always educating people, Urusa! Urusa! Urusa!"
There was no need for Oda Shingo to hire a navy army. A large number of water friends had already started to hedge against Nobuhiro Arakawa on their own initiative.
These were included in the report by the market research company as part of the data collection, and were summarized in one sentence: [The image representative of the main comics is suspected of inappropriate behavior in marketing, which affects the impression of the readership group].
Can it be changed?
Noriaka Koyama looked at the market report and picked up the phone to call Nobuhiro Arakawa.
But as soon as he said a few polite words, Nobuhiro Arakawa's roar came from the other side of the phone.
[Today’s readers are so rude! ]
"..." Xiaoshan Norilong was dumbfounded.
[In just ten years, the world has been deteriorating! The world has been deteriorating! ]
"..." Noriyama Koyama couldn't get a word in, so he just listened to Nobuhiro Arakawa talking.
[If it were ten years ago, readers would definitely stand by their favorite authors! ]
Noriyama Koyama has nothing to say.
As a result, he could only stand firm and listen to Nobuhiro Arakawa's trash talk for more than ten minutes.
[Oh, thank you, President Xiaoshan, for calling me to support me. ] Nobuhiro Arakawa finally said a polite word at the end.
"No, after all, we are comrades on the same front, and I will always support you!" Noriyama Koyama could only respond.
Bear with it, bear with it...
Xiaoshan Norilong put down the phone and kept holding his breath.
But it's not over yet.
Things got even worse after the results of the latest Jump readers' popularity poll came out.
The editors did not dare to say anything, the editor-in-chief bowed his head and remained silent, and the editors of this magazine were sweating profusely!
After all, "Jump" has millions of readers, and only a handful of them are on YouTube.
But now something goes wrong!
President Oyama solemnly invited Nobuhiro Arakawa, the great comic book master, to publish two issues of "I am the leader of the Goblin Tribe", and it is actually showing signs of decline!
From a professional perspective, this comic is of high quality. The plot design, characterization, and moral connotation are all impeccable. However, the latest popularity vote results actually placed him in second place! Overtaken by newcomer manga artist Hideko Akechi!
"Goblin Commander" has a popularity vote of 5311 votes, but "Goblin Slayer" has a popularity vote of 5415 votes!
"Goblin Slayer" actually ranked first!
Although the difference is only about 100 votes, it also reflects a certain situation.
The editors know clearly that the quality of the comic "The Goblin Commander" is not bad, but its story habits...are really behind the times!
In the following pages of "Goblin Slayer", the contrast is very obvious! The pace is fast, the storyboards are cool, the killing is decisive, and the beauties are eye-catching!
No wonder comic fans spontaneously voted for "Goblin Slayer"!
What's more, Nobuhiro Arakawa, the author of "The Goblin Commandery", keeps making fun of himself. I don’t know how many readers switched to Goblin Slayer because of his extreme remarks.
It’s such a pity that so many years of fame and affection have been accumulated.
But the popularity votes must be printed and reported to the president.
The acting head of the newspaper department bit the bullet and handed over the report.
"..." President Xiaoshan took the report and read it for a long time but remained silent.
The director of this magazine bowed and wanted to retreat.
"Very good, the reported data shows that old cartoonists are still very capable!" Koyama Noritaka suddenly said.
The acting head of this magazine was stunned.
"There are sometimes errors in counting votes. You must not make any mistakes." Noriyama Koyama put the popularity report on the table and kept tapping the number one position with his finger and thumb joints.
despair--
Ta-ta-
Ta-ta-ta--
The acting head of this publication is sweating.
Noriyama Koyama stared at him with piercing eyes: "Oh, by the way, you have been acting as an agent for a long time, right? I think it's time to put your regular appointment on the agenda at the next high-level meeting."
"Thank you, President! My subordinates..." The acting head of the magazine stood at attention, bowed deeply and bent down, "I understand!"
"Well, you have a lot of potential." Noriaka Koyama nodded with satisfaction, and added, ""Goblin Slayer" also has great potential. It will be moved to the second serialization sequence."
"Hiyi!"
After returning, the acting head of the magazine corrected the "erroneous" vote count and moved the position of "Goblin Slayer" forward.
The new issue of "JUMP" is released.
"I Rule the Goblin Tribe" is still the first serialization position.
As all readers can see, the popularity vote statistics of the last issue are: "Goblin Commander" has a popularity vote of 5415 votes, but "Goblin Slayer" has a popularity vote of 5311 votes.
"Goblin Slayer" ranks second!
Readers are very happy and agree with it.
"Okay! It seems like this is the first time a newbie has just started a series, and he ranks second on the popularity list, right?"
""Goblin Slayer" is so beautiful!"
No one noticed that there was something wrong with the popularity voting. After all, no one can imagine that a newly published comic can surpass the new work of the returning master!
However, readers were quickly attracted by the new characters of "Goblin Slayer".
Elf archer? Dragon warrior? Of course not!
Naturally, she is the most charming saint among the brothers!
As soon as the image and background story of this character came out, comic fans fell in love with him!
