After realizing this, Kimura was shocked and confused. The current situation really shocked him.

After all, just a week ago, he was discussing with the old editor-in-chief Suzuki about adding a supervisor to Yusuke Kato.

But now, the other party suddenly and quietly gave him such a big surprise!

Ten chapters! This is ten whole chapters!

What other comic book authors would take a full ten weeks to turn in, but here, it seems to be done in the blink of an eye.

As long as there are no errors or logical flaws in these manuscripts.

Even if Mr. Fujimotoshu does nothing from now on and takes a month's leave immediately, these manuscripts will be enough to support ten issues of the magazine.

When such a dreamlike reality is before our eyes, how can we not feel confused?

"——Chief Editor Kimura." Kato Yusuke saw that he was tending to fall into a state of confusion again, so he couldn't help but remind him:

"If you don't plan to continue reviewing the manuscript now, I have something to discuss."

"Ah, yes!" Kimura perked up, "Is there any problem?"

"Well, it's about the serialization of "Chainsaw Man". I have two questions to ask."

"Teacher, please tell me!"

"So first of all, including the original manuscript here, the current plot of "Chainsaw Man" is enough to support a stand-alone book. Have you considered any plans to produce a stand-alone book?"

"Ah, so that's what happened, of course! Judging from the current popularity of your work, teacher, the release of the single volume must be within the established matters. You don't need to worry about this."

"I know this." Kato Yusuke nodded slightly, "What I want to know is about the production of the single book. Can it be done in advance?"

"Ahead of time??" Kimura was shocked, and then he pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked:

"Could it be that...Teacher, you think the serialization speed of the magazine is too slow, so you want to publish a single volume directly...?"

"Well, after all, the price of a single volume is higher, which is also good for you."

"Uh...I'm afraid..." Kimura wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, wondering:

"I'm sorry that I can't give you a specific answer. If you insist, teacher, I can convey your wishes to Editor-in-Chief Suzuki..."

Kato Yusuke saw that his words were insincere and did not push him too hard, so he brought up another matter.

"Then, if it is difficult to decide on a single volume, can the number of pages and length of each serial issue of "Chainsaw Man" be increased?"

“Improve??How much do you want to increase??”

"Like five episodes in one issue or something like that."

"——Five, five chapters!" Kimura suddenly stood up from his seat and exclaimed: "According to your usual length, teacher, isn't that nearly a hundred original manuscripts!?"

"If it's too much, you can reduce it."

"Let's not talk about it for now. The problem is that this is a weekly magazine! Teacher, can you draw it!?"

Kato Yusuke looked calm and responded: "If you agree, I will find a way to complete it."

Although the words he spoke were euphemistic, his tone was full of certainty, making people subconsciously want to be convinced.

The conference room suddenly became quiet.

Kimura sat down slowly, his expression seemed to be greatly shocked, and he was speechless for a long time.

Although the competition in the comics industry is fierce, it is actually a rather slow-growing industry.

Limited by many factors, the serialization of comics is a long process.

If a popular medium-length work is not cut in half, it usually takes about two years from the beginning of serialization to the completion.

In order to create popular comics, although editors will put pressure on the author, they will not demand immediate results.

When it comes to giving authors time to grow, both the editorial department and the company will be tolerant and helpful.

And Kimura has long been accustomed to this pattern, until what happened today...

After all, in this industry, it is normal for editors to push comics authors for manuscripts, but the reverse situation is really incredible and extremely fresh.

Kimura couldn't help but clicked his tongue when he thought of this, and looked at Yusuke with a strange look in his eyes.

I wanted to ask, "Are you serious?" However, neither what the other party said before nor his calm expression at this moment seemed to be a joke.

After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and started talking.

"I'm really sorry. The matter of increasing the length is not something I can decide on my own."

"Unfortunately, Editor-in-Chief Suzuki went to attend an industry seminar today. Otherwise, after he comes back, can I convey your message to him, teacher?"

Kato Yusuke didn't have any objections to this, and he didn't expect to solve the matter at once, so he agreed with understanding.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

"No, no, no, please don't say that. Teacher, you are too polite." Kimura waved his hands and said politely, admiring him for being able to make such a decision without changing his expression.

After all, the pressure of weekly serialization is much greater than that of monthly serialization, but this teacher seems to be dissatisfied and has to put more burdens on himself, which is really rare.

In the end, I can only lament that he is indeed the person Xia Shizi values ​​​​and neither of them can consider it based on common sense.

Not only does he have similar thoughts, but many others also think so.

After talking about business, Kimura also began to chat with this important figure.

"Speaking of Fujimoto-sensei, have you heard about the news that Kasumi Shiko-sensei's work will be animated?"

"Well, I've heard this before."

"Hahaha, that's it! The debut work can be animated, which is really an amazing achievement. But according to you, teacher, it is entirely possible to do this in the future."

"You're welcome."

"No, I really think so...and thanks to you, our comics department is confident enough to hold a thank-you party this year. Although it is held together with the light novel department, you must be present!"

Kato Yusuke didn’t ask much about this and directly equated it with the company’s annual meeting.

Since today's matters were all done, he had no intention of staying any longer. He said goodbye to Kimura and quickly left the Immortal River.
Chapter completed!
