I really just want to grind for entries related to crossover anime/manga.

While busy finalizing details for the manga with Suoh Hayato, he also continued to promote "Your Name," and naturally, the signing events couldn't be stopped.

Signing events continued at major cinemas in Tokyo, one after another.

Over the past three days, the box office battle between "Your Name" and "Shogun" has continued fiercely, with the two films trading back and forth and the gap remaining relatively small.

Every day, the box office figures for both sides spark heated discussions across the internet.

Yu Minakawa checks the box office data every day. As the box office of "Your Name" grows little by little, he feels both gratified and a little anxious.

Time passed by little by little, and before we knew it, it was January 10th.

"Your Name" and "Shogun" have been released simultaneously for ten days, and the box office battle has entered a heated phase.

That morning, in Shogo Suo's office.

The man sat in the main seat, listening to his subordinates' report with a blank expression.

"President, here are the latest box office figures."

One of the subordinates spoke cautiously and respectfully.

"Our film 'Shogun' has been in theaters for ten days and has accumulated 34 billion yen in box office revenue, while 'Your Name' has only accumulated 32 billion yen. We still maintain our advantage, but the gap has narrowed a lot compared to before."

"..."

Shogo Suo picked up the box office report on the table, his expression somewhat grim.

"The gap has narrowed?"

Shogo Suoh's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible anger. To be honest, offering discounts was already a significant sacrifice, yet they still couldn't create a substantial price difference, which was a very dangerous sign.

"We're already incurring costs. If we can't continue to widen the gap, do you know what will happen?"

"Are you planning to let the company's investment go down the drain?"

The subordinates trembled with fear and immediately lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Shogo Suoh took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, and said in a cold and firm tone.

"I don't care what methods you use next, you must increase your efforts to promote it and get more people to go to the cinema to watch 'Shogun'."

"Our original general direction remains unchanged, but you can brainstorm other options and see if there are any better solutions."

"As for public opinion regarding 'Your Name,' it needs to be monitored in real time, and we can't listen to online trolls."

"Yes, President!"

The subordinates nodded quickly and said respectfully.

"We'll make the arrangements immediately and will do our best to complete all tasks according to your instructions. We will absolutely not let you down!"

"I will conduct a data review 14 days after the film's release. If you still can't break through, I will have to take measures to get rid of the incompetent people and let the excellent people continue to work!"

"Yes..."

Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and a subordinate in a suit rushed in, looking flustered and anxious.

"Something terrible has happened! President! A major incident has occurred!"

Shogo Suoh's brows furrowed sharply, his anger erupting instantly, and his tone became extremely stern.

"What's with all this panic? What's going on? What's the big deal?"

The subordinate ran up to Shogo Suoh, panting heavily, and said urgently.

"President, Yu Genkawa... Yu Genkawa just tweeted that... the manga version of 'Your Name' will be on sale soon, and is expected to be officially released the day after tomorrow!"

"what?!"

"Comic version?"

These words struck Suoh Shogo like a bolt from the blue, leaving all his subordinates stunned and their faces filled with disbelief.

"What do you mean?"

"Publish a comic book version?"

Shogo Suoh suddenly stood up, and his imposing aura instantly erupted.

"What did you say? They're releasing a manga version of 'Your Name'? When did this happen? How come we haven't heard anything about it?"

"Our people haven't been paying attention to this..."

Yi⊙Yiqi Shi Wujiu Shi Jiuqun · Chatting about "Bastards!"

Shogo Suo had been involved in the work for a long time, so he immediately understood the underlying logic of this move.

After all, "Your Name" is an animated film, which can be adapted into a comic book or novel as the original work, and the film can also be used as the core product to attract fans.

"Let me see what they have to say!"

"Okay...okay."

The office's large screen immediately displayed Genkawa Yu's Twitter page, featuring a promotional photo of him holding a health book.

"The first volume of the 'Your Name' manga will be released on January 12th, living up to expectations. The tenderness and regret in the manga await your discovery. May everyone find their own bond."

Within ten minutes of its release, the tweet had been retweeted over 80,000 times, received over 50,000 comments, and garnered hundreds of thousands of likes.

In the comments section, cheers erupted from fans, who all expressed their determination to buy the comic.

"Is the first volume of 'Qi Li Lin? Jiu Qi San Si'?"

"I know, he's planning to use this as a gimmick for publicity!"

The people standing in this office aren't fools; they immediately realized that this was a blatant attempt to trick people into going to the movies and then increase box office revenue.

"Damn it... I didn't expect them to have this trick up their sleeve!"

"Damn it...damn it!"

Shogo Suoh's cold gaze swept over the tweet. The pressure that had been building up in his mind for so long finally broke down, and he picked up his phone and smashed it hard against the projection TV screen.

"Oh!"

"Kara—"

A loud bang, the sound of shattering glass, startled all the employees.

"You bastard, you actually pulled this trick on me!"

"What do you think we should do now? Lingqier + WoI?!"

"What do we do! Speak up!"

Volume 4: To the New World, Chapter 18, "Your Name" manga published, leading the pack! (2-in-1 5k)

January 12th was the official release date of the manga version of "Your Name," and also a crucial day that Yu Genkawa had been planning for a long time, intending to completely turn around the box office situation.

As dawn broke, long queues had already formed outside major bookstores in Tokyo.

The line was crowded with people, each with an expression of anticipation and eagerness on their face.

Some of the people queuing up early in the morning were fans of Yu Genkawa who came because of his Twitter promotion, but others were manga enthusiasts who wanted to learn about the original manga of this recently popular movie.

At 8:00 a.m. sharp, the bookstore doors finally opened slowly, and staff members in clean and tidy uniforms greeted us with smiles.

"Please don't crowd, everyone line up properly, and everyone can buy a comic book."

As soon as he finished speaking, a small cheer rang out from the crowd.

Upon entering the store, the first thing everyone sees is the "Your Name" manga neatly stacked on the shelf near the entrance. The cover still features the classic image of the male and female protagonists back to back, with a falling colorful shooting star in the center.

Wow! What a beautiful cover!

Even those who haven't seen the movie were amazed by the comic book.

"Your Name is a story about bonds, regrets, and redemption. I hope that through this comic, more people can feel the gentleness and power of this story."
