My girlfriend is Kusunoko Saiki

"Eh?"

After hearing what Naoto said, Reika's expression became almost exactly the same as Naoto's.

Regarding this kind of thing, Zhiren just wanted to curse.

I was just drawing my own comics and I didn't offend anyone, so why was I suddenly being attacked like an enemy?

The current situation was just like the Battle of Red Cliffs. Was it really that outrageous? The other two ace players were blocking him to kill? How much face did he have to give?

Zhiren rarely gets angry, but in this case, he can't hold it back any longer. What good can you do by blocking yourselves and killing them like this? Don't you guys eat? Single volumes are the foundation of the author's career, and this is just a small amount of money!

However, Naoto didn't understand that this was no longer the business of just a cartoonist.

It is a war shared by the three major comics.

His appearance was at most just a fuse.

The three major comic magazines are published every few years.

It was just that Naoto was unlucky enough to bump into the muzzle of the gun.

However, although the two companies are coming in with great force, JUMP is no pushover either.

If they did nothing and just let the opponent beat them like this, there is no reason why JUMP would have reached this point.

"So, what does dad say?"

At this time, Nan Zi walked over and asked Naoto.

"Well, it seems that they are planning to unite all the authors to stop the sniping of the two comics. It seems that they are going to organize a concentrated assault or something."

Naoto didn't quite understand what Saiki's father said. He always felt that what he said seemed very powerful, but he couldn't guess what the situation was.

And this time, it seems that many authors will participate in this action.

"Is it really that serious? It sounds like it's very serious."

As a bystander, Reika has no idea what this means. It sounds like some kind of residential training. She didn't expect JUMP to organize such an event.

"That's bad. I have things to take care of with the animation right now, so it will probably be hard for me to catch up. I don't know who will be there this time."

Just when Naoto was worried about this matter, he seemed particularly excited compared to the other authors who were coming over.

"What? We're going to go to war with two other comics?!"

Qiu Ren and Gao Zui, who were in the studio, were extremely excited when they heard the news.

It's a waste of youth if one doesn't study to be a middle school student, let alone for junior high school boys like Souma and Akito?

If the comic author can beat the other two comics this time, he will become famous.

If you continue on this path, you will be able to make animation soon and then become a top cartoonist.

"That's great! If we can beat those cartoonists, we'll be celebrities in the industry!"

"But the cartoonists from the other two teams are not weaklings either. I looked at the cartoonists participating this time, and each one of them is the top star of the other team."

Compared to Akito who was completely out of control, Gao Zhe was relatively calm.

Although JUMP currently holds an advantage among the three major comics magazines, anyone who can get the top spot in the other two comic magazines cannot be a weakling.

The two of us are just mediocre cartoonists on JUMP, and our cartoons this time are often at the bottom of the list. Can we really compete with them? I'm afraid we'll be killed as soon as we get on stage.

"But if I don't go, it doesn't seem like I can change anything. After all, Naoto-san has already been treated like this. Supreme, are you just going to just watch like this?!"

"Naoto-san..."

When talking about Naoto, Takahiro paused noticeably.

At this time, Gao Zhe and Qiu Ren naturally knew that "Bloodline" was under siege, which might lead to a sharp drop in sales.

When they heard the news, both of them couldn't help but worry for Naoto.

Being besieged by such a large scene, I am afraid that the sales volume will drop to an ugly level. If we are not careful, it may even be so tragic that it is outrageous.

But when they heard that Naoto's second volume was not too amazing but still very outstanding, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It should be said that Naoto is worthy of his name. He did not lose despite such great pressure.

Naoto has always been a great help to Tsuchiya and Akito. Sometimes when they lack inspiration, they will ask Naoto for advice.

And Naoto also helped Souichi and Akito find out some of their shortcomings.

In such a situation, when the younger brother hears that his elder brother is being bullied, he will naturally follow suit.

"Well, in that case, Akito! We have to go all out from now on!"

"Ah, that's you. Just leave it to me! I will definitely write the best script!"

At this moment, Qiu Ren and Zui Zu's eyes were already burning with a strong fighting spirit.

Now the two of them can’t wait to start fighting with other cartoonists!

Another cartoonist was also equally excited at this moment.

This one, naturally, is our new little angel wife.

When he heard that he was going to go to war with other comic magazines, Eiji Nijima jumped up from the ground.

"Interesting, really interesting! Competing with other comic book writers? Winning the top sales title! If I can get first place this time, doesn't that mean I'll be the number one in the current Japanese comics industry?"

"Well, this is probably it."

Editor Hattori, who was informing Eiji at the time, took a closer look and found that it was true.

The three major comics can basically be said to represent the entire comics industry, excluding some small magazines. Being able to take first place in this sales war can truly be said to be the number one in the comics industry. From this point of view, this battle is really fierce.

"That means, this time, I will also have the opportunity to fight with Teacher ONE. How exciting! Teacher ONE, this time, just wait for me!"

Seeing Eiji Niizuma so excited, editor Hattori wanted to remind him that this time his opponents were mainly the authors of other comics.

But seeing how excited Nizuma Eiji was, he shut up.

At this time, Editor-in-Chief Sasaki quietly made a phone call and had a conversation with someone behind the scenes.

"Well, that's it. Then, I'll leave it to you."

The person that Editor Sasaki contacted will also leave a deep impression on Naoto and others in the future.

We will not discuss for now who this person is.

Chapter 48: The retreat of JUMP

Faced with the siege from Magazine and Sunday, the current group of cartoonists at JUMP are like chicken blood being injected, and have begun a fierce struggle against the other two comics.

The first week must have been a happy time for readers.

After all, this struggle has led to excellent works becoming even more excellent, and even the single volumes that were initially delayed in publication have begun to appear in more and more volumes recently.

All kinds of unimaginable plot developments emerged one after another.

The first volumes of the comics by Yagi Mumeha and Niizuma Eiji both performed very well.

For example, the first volume of Yacheng Mu Mengye had sales of 80,000, and Nizuma Eiji even reached 100,000.

However, after the enthusiasm, cartoonists face the pain of running out of inspiration, or in the words of online writers - writer's block.

The authors of JUMP tried their best to attract readers, but in the end, there was basically no one left who could compete.

Even the manga of Kouyou and Akito has gone from being in the top five to being on the verge of being cut short.

Except for Eiji Niizuma, all other cartoonists are suffering now.

The comics, the plot of the comics is unimaginable, and the single volumes are getting worse and worse.

If the fighting continues like this, I’m afraid everyone will be killed.

Under the high-intensity work, a group of cartoonists felt that they had shortened their lifespan by many days, and even several assistants were exhausted.

"No, if we continue like this, we might be wiped out before the battle is over!"

The editors in the editorial office looked at the data in their hands and felt that their heads were going bald.

In less than a month, almost all the authors were exhausted.

Under such circumstances, the quality of the comics they drew naturally declined. The high-intensity work even made the writers start to suffer from insomnia.

Several writers even took sick leave, saying they simply couldn't hold on any longer.

The editors could understand this, after all, they were exhausted, but they still didn't dare to rest.

When faced with the other two comics, if you’re not careful, they could be completely suppressed.

You have to know that the job of an editor is not as simple as just collecting manuscripts from cartoonists.

Sometimes I also have to help the author refer to the comics he has drawn, point out the shortcomings, and then ask the comic author to revise it again.

Even in the original Bakuman story, there are cases where Souma and Akito changed the manga four or five times.

Usually, one editor has multiple authors under him, which makes the work of a comic editor very difficult.

And right now, the one who caused the most damage to JUMP's morale might be Naoto's side.

When we learned from Saiki's father that the animation progress was still stuck at the voice actor selection stage, everyone was basically stunned.

After some inquiries, I found out that two other comic books were also preparing to be adapted into animations at this time, and they had taken away a lot of resources.

As a result, Naoto is unable to make any efforts in comics and the animation is nowhere in sight, so there is no one who can compete with him in JUMP!

If it were in the future, whether it was Akira Yumeha, Niizuma Eiji, or the people in the Kadota group, they would be able to carry the banner of JUMP very well, but considering that this group is still newcomers, they can't stop those old hands at all.

At this moment, Sasahara, a new editor, suddenly thought of a solution. If they could solve the current voice actor problem for Naoto's animation, would that mean that Naoto would be able to free up time to concentrate on drawing comics?

"But how can we find the right voice actor? You know, the voice actors from various agencies, not to mention those who have been tried, have all been snatched up by the other two. There are also other things that are enough to keep Naoto-sensei busy."

Although everyone wants their current top stars to join the war, they are really too busy right now.

"Well, suppose we can find such a person?"

After hearing this, many editors looked at Editor Sasahara in confusion.

At this time, Sasahara picked up the phone and called someone.

Meanwhile, in the production crew, Naoto was anxiously drawing the original draft of the vampire.

Although the manuscript is progressing quickly, Naoto is feeling very uncomfortable now.

If this continues, the animation process will probably become very slow.

Although Naoto could directly ask Kusunoki to use her super powers to solve the problem.

But Naoto didn't want to do that.

If I rely too much on Nan Zi, wouldn't I just become a gigolo?

If I can't even solve this kind of thing, then what qualifications do I have to be worthy of Nan Zi?

Just when Naoto was thinking about how to break the impasse, suddenly, Team Leader Matsuyama walked in, looking particularly happy.

"That's great! Teacher ONE! An agency just called and said they have a group of new voice actors coming for auditions! Among them is the famous Makoto Takasaka!"

"Eh? What's going on?"

Naoto was a little confused at this moment. How come a voice actor came all of a sudden? Wasn't it that they couldn't find anyone before?

"Kousaka Makoto? Could it be that one?!"

Just then, a group of voice actors, led by a very cheerful blond handsome guy, walked into the dubbing room.

"Teacher ONE, Team Leader Matsuyama, I'm the voice actor Takashita. Excuse me, can I audition now?"

After seeing Kousaka Makoto come with several voice actors for audition, Naoto and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that the person Editor Sasahara had called before was his college friend, Makoto Kousaka.

As good friends who have been in the same club for four years, Takasaka is different from Sasahara in that he became a famous voice actor in the ACG world and even achieved success in the COS and gaming world.

While still in his twenties, he has dubbed several works.

The most important thing is that Gao Ban has a particularly high popularity in these fields.

Thanks to Gao Ban's relationship, some voice actors finally had the opportunity to join the audition group of Vampires, and the work that had been stagnant could finally continue.

"Teacher ONE, you've been working really hard lately. Can you hurry up and do your job?"

"Ugh?"

At this time, Naoto was stunned when he heard what Team Leader Matsuyama said. Could it be that so many people have known about his recent affairs?
