Tosho Printing Co., Ltd. is located at 5-22 Kameido, Higashi-ku, E-ku, Tokyo.
This is a reclaimed industrial area on the north side of Tokyo Bay. It is a printing factory newly built in the 1970s as the city expanded. It has relatively new equipment and specializes in high-speed rotary printing.
Because it is close to Tokyo Port, the cost of paper import is relatively low, and it often undertakes mass printing of magazines for the whole country. Of the 500,000 copies of the first issue of "Dragon Jump", 400,000 copies were printed in this factory. The roar of the machines during the overnight production was once complained by nearby residents that "it broke the evening tranquility of the Sumida River."
Changchuan Yuliangren is an ordinary printing worker at Dongsheng Printing. He also likes to read some comic magazines on weekdays.
So for him, working in a printing factory has many conveniences.
During the printing process, many defective magazines were not only recycled and destroyed, but the printing workers would also often take some home and flip through them for fun.
This time the overtime task came rather suddenly. Nagakawa Uoliangto originally planned to take his wife and children to Hokkaido to see the sea during his vacation.
Because of the recent popular poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming", his wife has muttered several times that she wants to go on vacation to the seaside.
What's even more disgusting is that according to the news he received from his classmates in Hokkaido, the price of seaside vacation homes throughout Hokkaido has more than doubled.
so……
For this overtime assignment, Nagakawa Uoryo was the first to sign up. He explained to his wife that he wanted to use the overtime pay to pay for the family's trip to the seaside holiday home in Hokkaido.
After working hard all night, Changchuan Yuliang took his shift and sat down to rest for a while when the east was already bright.
After taking a breath, change out of work clothes and go back home to have some sleep.
But who would have thought that while he was sitting down to rest, he would casually pick up a defective copy of "Dragon JUMP" and be completely engrossed in it.
By the time other workers called him, an hour had passed.
"Changchuan, what's wrong with you? You're not going home after overtime? You're still here reading... reading comics? I've never heard of this comic magazine. This is the first issue, and 500,000 copies were printed right away. 400,000 copies were printed in our factory alone.
I heard from the minister above me that there is an 80% chance that the comic magazine "Dragon Jump" will only be able to print this one issue, and will go bankrupt after that.
There is no way that 500,000 copies can be sold out, and we will definitely lose a lot of money."
A worker smiled and patted Nagakawa Yuliangren on the shoulder and said jokingly.
However, Nagakawa Uoryoto said with a serious and excited look, "It won't be a loss! It will definitely sell out. Not to mention 500,000 copies, I think even a million copies of Dragon Jump will definitely sell out."
"What a joke, Nagakawa-kun, it's not like I don't know about these comic magazines. Right now, the most popular comic magazine in Japan is Weekly Shonen Jump, which only has sales of two million.
But they have accumulated readers for more than ten years and have various popular comics.
I've never heard of this game called Dragon Jump. It's said to be a game created by a noble lady, just for fun." The worker said casually.
However, Nagakawa Yuliang directly put the "Dragon Jump" in his hand into his hand and said: "This "Dragon Jump" comic magazine only has four serialized comics. But each one is very novel and good-looking. If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself, it's absolutely wonderful.
I believe that such a wonderful comic, once published, will definitely create a sensational effect."
"Is it really that good? Nagakawa-kun, are you exaggerating a bit? According to what our director said, that young lady had never been involved in any comics-related industry before!
A layman like this can create a comic magazine and become popular all over Japan? Isn't this too much?"
The other person took the comic with a skeptical look on his face, but when he opened it, he was immediately attracted by the opening story of "Dragon Ball".
After collecting the seven magical dragon balls, you can summon a dragon and make your wish come true.
What a magical setting! The protagonist is called Sun Wukong? This seems a bit similar to China's "Journey to the West".
What kind of world is this? Future technology, a car can be created from a capsule?
Crash!
Not only this worker, but other workers who were about to go back from their shifts also came over to watch.
You don’t know until you see it. It’s amazing once you see it.
Each of the four comics in "Dragon JUMP" is so novel and attractive that once you read it, you can't stop reading it.
After all the contents of the four comics were read, the workers in the printing factory had already realized from their respective reactions that this "Dragon JUMP" comic magazine would definitely be a huge hit.
"Oh my god! Isn't this Dragon Jump so amazing? Now I understand why other comic magazines have more than ten comics in each issue, but this one only has four.
Just these four comics are enough! Wonderful! It's really wonderful.
I think... our overtime will not be just two or three days. As long as Dragon Jump becomes popular, we will have to print more copies."
"Great! I haven't seen such a wonderful comic in a long time, and there are four volumes at once. Dragon Jump will definitely be a hit. I will buy one and keep it in my collection, no matter who else I am."
