The cartoonist Liaoyuan County said that when he was a newcomer, he once took the manuscript to the publishing house. He once heard the editor sigh: “Even if there are 100 people with originals, after giving revisions, they will come to the second time. There are only 10 people, and there will be only one or two people in the third time.” Sui Yuan listened and decided: No matter what level his work was degraded, he had to run 10 times to the publishing house. After he took action, he got the job arranged by the publisher six months later. .

菅原 summarizes his own experience: doing things that others are too troublesome and unwilling to do, sometimes it will be a shortcut. .


The cartoonist Jiafei Gu said that the editor-in-chief of the magazine is also diverse. There are people who think that “to be honest, my magazine does not need to be in the middle of the comics”, there are also “no matter what people say, in my magazine The comics of Deng are all people who look good. By the way, the editor-in-chief who said the latter sentence is now the president of Shueisha. .

A lot of comic magazines will arrange the publication order of the works according to the popular vote, and the comics that are “behind the middle” are the works ranked lower in the popular voting. .


Light novelist Yuichiro I saw. 关于轻小说封面的争议, I remembered that I once wanted to donate my work to my alma mater library, but the librarian refused: “This cover is too teasing and can’t be placed in the library.” It looks like a woman’s body shape. It seems that it is impossible to draw too clearly. .

However, later, the work of Teacher Yan seems to have been stripped of the cover of the cover, or displayed in his alma mater library. .

The light novelist SOW thinks that the library is a crime that wants to add to it. In the junior high school library he once attended, even the envelope of “Mobile Suit Gundam’s Kasavi” was stripped. . Is the outline of MS too sinful and sinful? .

Perhaps the administrator thinks that huge robots and girls wearing very few cloths will speed up the heartbeat of the bloody male, so they should be banned. .


Comic researcher Ito Gang issued a question: editors often ask cartoonists or light novel illustrators to “sell as long as Huang can sell, please go to Huangli”, will it be just a preconceived, in fact, yellow Instead, it may drive away those readers who can’t stand porn and feel “I don’t want to be pornographic in this book.” .

He cited an example that may not be appropriate: Tezuka Osamu’s early works that did not specifically pursue erotic paintings were more tempting than those that consciously pursued pornography after entering the 1980s. .

Ito has also heard from cartoonists recently that because of the growth of e-books and Amazon, whether the cover of a single book can capture the customer’s eye on the bookstore platform is no longer as important as before, and the publisher is no longer on the book. Covers and bindings raise so many annoying requirements. This statement also made him somewhat interested. It may be different in different fields of work.

At the same time, Ito also pays attention to the monotony caused by “painting in Huangli”. Although it contains the elements of personal taste, it is not good to say too much, but he suspects that the phenomenon of “big chest = yellow” is just “because there is such a trend”, so everyone paints it. In fact, in reality, it is absolutely impossible for everyone to like big breasts. Therefore, the creators accuse the outside world of suppressing the diversity of creation, but will the suppression of diversity actually come from within the industry? .

Ito understands that the big breasts have an audience that likes big breasts, and he doesn’t want to blame it. But what he wants to say is that “in short, the idea of painting a man with a chest to Dali will feel yellow” does not represent the aesthetics of all. In fact, people who really like big breasts may be less than people think. .

Teacher Ito is right, you don’t like big breasts like this male reader. .

So at the end, I want to quote the voice of a netizen, I hope that the major publishers can adopt:

For the question that “the cover of the light novel is all half-naked,” I also think that “I don’t see who is the protagonist, so first put the protagonist boy in the middle of the cover” “With the protagonist boy The semi-naked or critical moments show the painful scenes as a cover.” # Such a youth can also be assured of #啥啥啥.
