In just one morning, the "Dragon JUMP" comic magazine quickly became popular for its unique artistic style and fascinating story content, and was deeply loved by comic fans among these office workers.
The works in the magazine contain novel and diverse elements, from the passionate adventure of "Dragon Jump" to the fashionable romance of "Sailor Moon", satisfying the tastes of different readers.
What is even more outstanding is that "Dragon JUMP" has a lot of color with its high-quality printing and exquisite cover design, which makes "Dragon JUMP" extremely popular in the comics market and instantly becomes the focus of heated discussion among comics fans.
Prior to this, the quality of the comics in these Japanese comic magazines was terrible due to the rush to meet deadlines and meet production targets, and there was no sense of refinement at all.
However, the four comics in "Dragon JUMP" magazine have all been carefully polished at China's Spring City Film Studio, and the content of each page of the comics is extremely delicate and exquisite.
This is a comic book blessed by a first-class art master. It is no exaggeration to call it a work of art.
Japanese comic readers who are used to eating the same old bran have never seen such fine bran!
This is particularly evident in the comic book "Pokémon".
Originally, these Japanese comics used simple and clear lines and characters to quickly express the progression of the story.
Almost all Japanese cartoonists feel that wasting energy on meticulously crafting scenes and characters is a fruitless effort, as long as the content and storyline are exciting enough.
After all, the energy required to draw a page of exquisite comics is enough to draw several more pages of plot content.
so……
It is definitely not an exaggeration to describe Japanese comics at that time as "rough".
Comic readers have also taken this form of comics for granted.
but……
Suddenly, opening the unique comic magazine "Dragon JUMP" was like entering a whole new world.
Whether it is the various new future technology products in "Dragon Ball" or the cute Pokémon one after another in "Pokémon".
Or in "Sailor Moon", the beautiful fashions worn by each Sailor Moon that incorporate Chinese clothing elements are all vividly brought to life in this 16-page comic magazine.
The shock of seeing such exquisite comics for the first time was quite impactful. These Japanese comic readers could not resist it and immediately paid for the first issue of "Dragon JUMP".
"Boss, do you have any more Dragon Jump? I was just reading it and someone bought it..."
"What? No more? How do you run this bookstore? Why don't you get more of these great comic magazines?"
"We've bought a thousand sets and they're all sold out? How is that possible? So many people bought them? Then why don't you get some more quickly? I'll bring my classmates here to buy together in the evening..."
…
Because this "Dragon JUMP" is being published for the first time, bookstore owners tend to be conservative and don't dare to buy too much stock.
But who would have thought that "Dragon JUMP" would be so popular?
Especially during the morning rush hour when people go to work or school, office workers and students waiting for the bus are the main consumers.
Almost all of them flipped through a few pages of "Dragon Jump" and immediately paid for it.
These bookstore owners only managed to buy a thousand copies of "Dragon JUMP" at most, but they were all sold out in less than half an hour.
As for those bookstores that only stocked one or two hundred copies of the "Dragon Jump" comics, they were sold out almost in an instant.
Afterwards, these bosses hurriedly called Dragon JUMP magazine and asked for immediate replenishment.
…
The working hours of Dragon JUMP magazine are 8:30 in the morning.
But today is the first day of sales, so Keiko Kobayashi asked everyone to arrive at the company before eight o'clock.
Especially the operations department, which is in charge of the printing inventory and replenishment logistics of "Dragon JUMP" magazine. The day before, Keiko Kobayashi solemnly instructed them to be prepared to deal with today's explosive popularity and shortages.
The dozen or so newly recruited employees in the operations department were a little bit skeptical about this.
so……
When they first arrived at the post, everyone was yawning and talking idly.
"Isn't President Kobayashi a bit too optimistic? We are just a comic magazine that has just released its first issue, but we have only printed 500,000 copies. Are you still worried about running out of stock?"
"Selling 500,000 copies a day? This would definitely be a legend in the comics industry. Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible."
"Yeah! Impossible, absolutely impossible. I used to work for Weekly Shonen Jump, and even their sales of two million copies were slowly digested over seven days. On the first day, they could only sell 700,000 or 800,000 copies at most.
This is the best-selling comic magazine in Japan. How is it possible that Dragon Jump has sold 500,000 copies in just one day? "
"President Kobayashi also asked us to go to work early. Is she predicting that the bookstores will be sold out before 8:30? And then she called to request restocking?"
"Hey! Do you know how our colleagues in the comic magazines outside laughed at us, Dragon Jump? They said that we would be the first comic magazine in Japan to go bankrupt after only releasing the first issue!"
"Hehe! Don't be so pessimistic! Our President Kobayashi Keiko is the granddaughter of the Tokugawa family. With the wealth of the Tokugawa family, they can at least support her for a year or two..."
