Beware of “good” people

The animated man, Miyahara Takuya, also heard that someone who was dismissed by the industry from the market had told him about his experience and felt that it was no wonder that this person would run. He said that in the end, it is still not possible to listen to the opinions of one party and copy all the receipts

The novelist and the original author of the comics boast that when creating a story, if there are two schemes, A and B, one “although there are some contradictions, but it can bring great emotional release to the reader”, one “ Although there is no contradiction, it will not burn.” Then he often knows that there is a contradiction, but he still has to choose A..

At this time, even if someone pointed out that there is a contradiction in the details, he can only say: “I know.”

In the “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” series 25th Anniversary Booklet, the animation series constitutes Kobayashi’s commentary on “JoJo”. Even if there is a contradiction in setting, as long as the characters’ feelings are not contradictory, we (the reader) can Put it in.” This sentence is often quoted when discussing creationism on the web

Writer Maeda said that about 10 years ago, he gave a magazine a plan similar to the “Innovative Young Animator Symposium”, and asked the participants to “work in the future.” “At the time, an animator immediately replied: “Dragon Ball!”

Since the interview, Maeda and the animator have never had a relationship, but they always remember the conversation. Whenever he sees his name in other works, he will think of it: “Speaking, did he participate in the new work of Dragon Ball?”

In the recent theatrical version of “Dragon Ball Super Browley”, the animator seems to be the original painting of the scene of the battle orgasm. Although this has nothing to do with Maeda himself, it also makes him happy for no reason

The day before yesterday, a cartoonistかわぐちまさみsaid that a kind editor said she knew too little, teach She has a lot of knowledge about royalties, and she shared them in the form of comics

However, かわぐちShare these “knowledges”, many of which deviate from the conventions of the publishing industry. For example, she said that recently, publishers basically do not pay royalties according to the number of prints, but actually sell them. Although the pass rate of the pass is 10%, some publishers will have a royalty rate as low as 3 to 5%. The royalty rate for the first edition and the imprint will be different; even the first edition of the publisher does not have a tax stamp, and the royalties are paid from the Indian seal

The cartoonists on Twitter saw these unprecedented stories and were shocked. They all said that they had this “common sense” and hoped that young cartoonists would not accept such bad conditions. Probably the voice of criticism is too much, かわぐちalso quietly deleted this tweet

However, unfortunately, there are also writers who have said that they have really heard of such unsatisfactory conditions that others feel are unacceptable…

Illustrator, essayist Ikeda, said that she said that you “know too little”, like common sense, telling you that this kind of person who is too favorable to the publisher is not “good.” “Editor, but the editor to “beware.” At least she has never heard of this nonsense of paying royalties from India

Ikeda also recommends that writers confirm the conditions in advance and edit, and not through verbal agreement, but in the form of e-mail and other forms of evidence

The editor of Kadokawa’s “Electric Shock King” magazineクスノキAlso reminds writers that if a publisher comes to the door, it is best to confirm the following conditions before talking about cooperation:

  • Draft fee.
  • Will the draft fee increase?
  • Royal form.
  • The royalty form of the e-book.
  • Payment date.
  • The form of the order book.
  • There is no draft fee for the content of the new line of this book.

GA Library EditorサトIt is said that the rules of royalties in the field of comics and light novels have been very different from those in general books and business books. Even if they belong to the same publishing house, they adopt a completely different business model

Light novels are also the same as comics, and the printing rules of different publishers are very different. Therefore, in order to share information, writers should also make more friends with writers at the gathering occasions such as the Newcomer Awards Ceremony, which will greatly help the future writers’ lives. Every time he tells the new writer who is about to debut, he wants to print his business card
