"Hanzawa Naoki" is the only taibo comic of Toshima Publishing House, and of course the resources obtained during the sale of a single book are also very rich.

Promotion on the cover of the magazine, poster promotion in the hot area of ​​the bookstore, poster promotion on the subway...

I have to say that Toshima Publishing House is even more concerned about the sales of "Hanzawa Naoki" in a sense than Higashinoji.

After all, only the sales volume of a single-line book represents everything. If the sales volume of a single-line book is average, the previous achievements will turn into clouds and fog and disappear - it will be empty talk if you can't sell it for money.

What makes Toshima Publishing House relax is that they have conducted a reader survey on the sales of Higashinoji single-line books before.

About 70% of readers are willing to spend 400 yen to buy a single copy of "Hanzawa Naoki".

This greatly boosted their morale.

There are so many readers who are willing to buy it, even if the proportion will drop by then, the sales of "Hanzawa Naoki" should not fall behind.

The Internet, media, and magazines are also optimistic about "Hanzawa Naoki", and everyone thinks "Hanzawa Naoki" can achieve good results.

Except for one person...

That is Horikoshi Hanhei, who was unable to contribute to Toshima Publishing House.

He brought his "Investigation and Search Team" to Tokushima Publishing House, but in the end he just met the editor and then there was nothing... The reception editor of Tokushima Publishing House pushed him away half-stop.

No publishing house dares to accept such an author's work with such a great public opinion effect.

Horikoshi Hanhei is now equivalent to everyone calling and beating.

When I heard that my single-book sales were forcibly cancelled, Higashinoji's "Hanzawa Naoki" had already begun to prepare for single-book sales.

Horikoshi Hanhei was so angry that he almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

He felt that the reason why he became like this now was mainly because Higashinoji proposed the three principles of comics. If Higashinoji had not been able to do so, he would not have been like this.

As a result, my work could not be sold, but Higashinoji's "Hanzawa Naoki" was sold?

This is simply!

So Horikoshi Hanping was thinking about the sales of Higashinoji's "Hanzawa Naoki", and it would be better if it could not be sold at all.

That is, in the way Horikoshi Hanhei thought so.

The first volume of Higashinoji's "Hanzawa Naoki" has finally started to be released after two weeks of preheating.

To put it in the whole sales process, in the words of Koharu Hosokawa, that is—

"This is not bad, right?"

Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help but murmur when he looked at the rising sales data from bookstores across the country.

It was indeed so smooth... From the delivery to the snatch-up, the entire sales process of "Hanzawa Naoki" made her feel incredible.

You should know that when Taizhu comics are released, sales will pause for a little, and sales will gradually approach stable.

But "Hanzawa Naoki" is completely different.

It has been rising straightly.

With just one hour of accelerated statistics, "Hanzawa Naoki" has already broken the sales mark of 40,000 copies of the first volume - even Higashinoji's "Unnatural Death" did not do this.

But "Hanzawa Naoki" did it.

Not only did it, but it also exceeded the amount...

"This is probably the strength of a genius..." Hosokawa Koharu murmured to himself.

To be honest, she wants to go out and see what the bookstore is doing now.

But after hesitating for a long time, Hosokawa Koharu still suppressed his thoughts and continued to start monotonous and repeated statistics work - the staff in the sales department next door could no longer be used, so he had to ask some of them to help.

In the editorial department of "Heshi", this kind of thing happens frequently. After all, no matter how much the manpower is added, it is natural to get busy as soon as the sales day of the single book is on.

But it is a bit rare to be so busy now.

Even the editor-in-chief Urajima personally came to help calculate various data... This shows the hot sales of Higashinoji comics.

In Koharu Hosokawa's estimate, if nothing unexpected happens, the sales of the first volume of "Hanzawa Naoki" will definitely exceed 2.5 million copies this time... two or three levels higher than the period of "Unnatural Death".

That is, when Koharu Hosokawa was working hard and working hard, in a bookstore that was about one kilometer away from Toshima Publishing House, Oshita Yosuke was surprised by the situation in the bookstore.

People spontaneously line up in a row and actively stand in front of the single-line version of "Hanzawa Naoki"...

To be honest, this is the first time that Yasuke Yasuke has seen this scene, because when he comes to the bookstore, he has never queued up at all. He can just pick up two books and pay for it. However, like now, he still has to queue up to buy books, which makes it look like he is holding a signing party.

"Does young people nowadays attach so much importance to entertainment?"

As a middle-aged working-ager in his forties, Yosuke Oshita muttered softly, but soon took back his words.

After all, he came here this time and wanted to buy a single version of Higashinoji's "Hanzawa Naoki" - since he read the comic magazine brought back by Big Salt Bear last time, he has been thinking about the above "Hanzawa Naoki".

I finally took a long time to buy a single book, but I still had to queue up.

This is really...

Oshiya Yosuke shook his head helplessly and stood at the end of the team.

Then...

Then he heard a voice coming from behind: "Come on! Come on! I can't lose to those unscrupulous bosses! After dinner, I will go to complete the tasks they assigned! I will climb onto their heads! Fight for tooth and give it back twice as much!"

"Yes! Team Leader Fujisawa, our group has not lost yet! Come on!"

Oshiya Yosuke was standing upright, but when he heard the series of sounds, he couldn't help but look back.

The person who spoke was two young men. They looked short of their employment and had a relatively young and tender face.

At this time, these two people were flipping the latest episode of "Hanzawa Naoki", with bright eyes and looking very excited.

This made Oshiya Yosuke speechless for a while.

Why do you read a comic like a chicken blood? You look excited?

Compared to the speechlessness of Oshiya Yosuke, the bookstore staff on the other side who was responsible for collecting the money was not scared much.

On the contrary, he was almost getting used to it.

After all, he often sees this scene.

Every time, basically when "Hanzawa Naoki" is serialized to the latest episode, there are always a few working people who pay to look down at the comics, and jump up as they watch, full of enthusiasm.

Some wage earners say they want to quit their current jobs.

There are also some who, like the young man just now, who expressed their intention to make contributions in the company, and finally climbed to the current leader and returned them twice as much...

I don’t know if these salarymen started drinking in the afternoon and went crazy. Anyway, these bookstore staff are already used to it.

After seeing off these two guests, Dayan Yangsuke lined up for about five or six minutes, and finally he was here.

Looking at the four words "Hanzawa Naoki" on the cover and the dark expression, looking at Hanzawa Naoki in front of him, Oshinosuke took away two books without hesitation.

One book he wanted to buy for his son, and the other book was for him.

The reason why he bought an extra copy for his son...is because he wanted to tell Da Yan Xiong through this move that as a father, he was already working hard to get to know the other party.

"That's safe."

Putting two single-line paper bags into the briefcase, Yosuke Dayan turned to the bookstore behind him.

There was no decrease in the number of people queuing in line. Instead, as the afternoon approached, the school students were over and there were even more people gathering in the bookstore.

“It’s indeed a good work…”

Compared to the previous viewing of comics as an entertainment product with tinted glasses, Oshita Yosuke now finds that he can gradually understand the culture of young people today.

And the bridge to all this is the "Hanzawa Naoki" in his hands...

Da Yanyang nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and walked towards the house.

......

The sales of "Hanzawa Naoki" outside can be said to be very popular, but as the editor-in-chief of Shinawakzuki Publishing House, Seo feels very stressed.

Originally, he was holding "Hanzawa Naoki" but the readers' survey data was beautiful, and the real sales results were not very good.

But now it seems that his glimmer of hope is about to break.

The big sale of "Hanzawa Naoki" will definitely put more pressure on Xin Iwatsuki Publishing House's comic magazine "Chione".

As long as Higashinoji is not like Horikoshi Hanhei, his brain is so hot that he can get a psychopathic operation, and his sales of "Hanzawa Naoki" will definitely be able to climb to the sales ceiling of Japanese comics.

but...

"That's the sales ceiling of Japanese comics..."

Editor-in-chief Seo couldn't help but murmur.

Why is the ceiling called a ceiling? It is precisely because it is difficult to touch people, so it is called a ceiling.

If someone can just touch the ceiling of Japanese comic sales... then the ceiling should not be called the ceiling, it is not more appropriate to call it "floor"?

But Higashinoji surprised Editor-in-Chief Seo with his own strength.

He just has the ability to become the ceiling of Japanese comics...

To be honest, Horikoshi Hanhei had this opportunity... But...
To be continued...
