Tokyo, Junior JUMP Headquarters.

Every time I open the Tezuka Awards, many manuscripts will be faxed from various branches. This is a feast for the young JUMP twice a year.

This time the same is true. When the manuscripts from each branch are transmitted to the headquarters, special editors will gather together and then collect all the manuscripts.

Then, the editors and editors of the editorial department will hold a meeting and select nine parts as the final candidates. Finally, several well-known cartoonists and teachers will comment, and select the best manuscripts to be included in the various awards of the Tezuka Awards.

However, it is different from ordinary awards. As the highest ranking "selected" Tezuka Award, not every time. Since the last time a cartoonist obtained the Tezuka Award qualification, there have been thirteen consecutive issues that have not been selected for "selected". This undoubtedly shows the strictness and harshness of Tezuka Award. It is almost difficult for newcomers to obtain.

Not only that, the different preferences of some cartoonists will also affect the qualifications of Tezuka Jue.

So, in general, the second place is already very impressive and the goal of all contestants. In their opinion, it is undoubtedly difficult to be selected for the Tezuka Awards. It is better to settle for it and put the goal on the admission. Some cartoonists even think that it is enough to get a masterpiece (the third sequence ranking).

There are only a very small number of ambitious new cartoonists who have set their goals for selection from the very beginning.

On Tuesday morning, the editors who had just started work took the manuscripts faxed from each branch to the conference room.

This time, there are thirty-two manuscripts.

This is an amazing number.

You should know that this is a manuscript that was submitted after rigorous review by the editor. Before that, I am afraid that countless manuscripts were rejected, and these thirty-two manuscripts were probably less than one percent.

The next editors will select nine final candidates from these thirty-two manuscripts.

This is a process of repeated discussions, which is a bit boring and a bit troublesome. The editors must be very serious and focus on looking at each comic, selecting the highlights, shortcomings, and successes. As professional editors, they all like comics and apply for editors. Therefore, they have their own ethics and cannot fool them. This is responsible for every contributor who wants to become a cartoonist, and for the millions of readers of the young JUMP.

"This comic is quite interesting, funny, I think it can be included in the final candidate." An editor-in-chief with thick glasses and a little thin cheeks grabbed a manuscript and said: "Although the funny comics in the Young JUMP are not as popular as the hot-blooded comics, they are also very marketable. This comic is very essence and interesting. I think he should be the final candidate for the first time."

"No objection. This comic called "Eliminate All Possibilities" is indeed interesting, and the style is also very good. It is indeed qualified." An editor next to him nodded and said.

"I also think... Hum? Have you seen this comic? "SKIP! Yamada Jun!" is very powerful..."

"Huh? Is this book? Let's take a look... Huh, it's really amazing. This style of painting is very mature... Huh! Such a narrative technique is so smooth, no, which old author cast it? Such a work should not appear in the hands of a newcomer."

"No, this is a work handed over by a duo in Kyoto. The one who handles it is the editor of Oizumi Yuki from Kyoto. He said that this is a manga by a young girl, not a teacher." The editor-in-chief of the young JUMP slightly pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said lightly: "I paid attention to this work earlier than you. It's really interesting. Please include them as the final candidates, and then let the teachers choose it, and the final result."

"But although such works are very good, they may not be able to be selected... After all, they may not be in line with the tastes of teachers. However, the masterpieces should not be gone."

"That's not what you can say. It's enough to include him as the final candidate."

"Is the work of Sakura Mashira and Koritsu Ting? Since we can draw a comic of this level, if it is not a coincidence, but real strength, then it may not be far from the day of serialization..." Editor-in-chief Ida Fuji knocked on the table and made this judgment.

"I'm really looking forward to...their works. Don't let me down. If it's a work that is full of inspiration, it would be a pity."

Xiaoliu, who was in class, and Mahara, who was sleeping in class, did not know that their work, the comic called SKIP Yamada-kun, had successfully entered the final candidate for the award, and also made Fuji Ida, the editor-in-chief of the young JUMP, look forward to their future. They were very calm at this time. After all, there were still more than ten days before the Tezuka Award was announced. No one knew what the final result was. Even if they knew about the final candidate, they would probably be indifferent.

In a blink of an eye, the weekend has begun.

Xiaoliu received a call from the editor of Xinmeng Club, saying that it was 1:00 pm and would come to pick him up and attend the celebration of the 10th anniversary of Xinmeng Club's Dream Theory.

As one of the protagonists of this Xinmeng Club, Xiao Liu must be on the spot and must prepare formal clothes in advance.

"Ah, I forgot this." Xiao Liu, who was lying on the bed reading a comic, rubbed his eyes and looked at the time. It was already eleven o'clock in the morning. There were still two hours left. He was not ready for anything now...

"There is not enough time..." Xiao Liu sat up suddenly: "You must be prepared."

"What's wrong? Xiao Liujun?" Zhenbai, who was thinking about how to draw the next page of the comic, listened to the movements next to him, and couldn't help asking.

"Is there anything good happened?" Misaki Uami, who was pasting a piece of paper to Mabashi and was present as a temporary assistant, asked with a smile.

"You guys, why do you come to me to draw comics?" Xiao Liu asked instead of answering.

"Because Xiao Liu's room is very big!" Misaki said naturally.

"Yeah." Zhenbai nodded.

"Okay, OK, who called you just now? Come and be honest!" Misaki continued to ask.

Xiao Liu said: "It's something. I'm going to attend the New Dream Club's successful celebration of the newcomer award for Dreams in the afternoon. I must be asked to wear formal clothes. I just asked the editor if I could wear school uniforms. She said absolutely not, that is, I have to prepare a dress. But now, there are only two hours and time is very tight."

"I..." Misaki's eyes lit up, and she was excited to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Liu.

"Stop talking, I won't take you there." Xiao Liu shook her head and said.

"Oh~~!! I haven't said I'm going, Xiao Liujun actually refused like this? It's too ruthless, right?" Misaki said with her mouth held back.

"Celebration party?" Zhenbai also lit up his eyes and asked, "Is there a lot of delicious food?"

"It should be, but it's just a formal social interaction, it's a social scene, and there's nothing fun when you go there." Xiao Liu shook her head and said.

"But we can meet many well-known writers!" Misaki Uami said with his eyes shiny: "Although Xinmeng Club is just a new publishing house, it is still quite strong in the publishing house industry. Xinmeng Club in Kyoto is just one of its branches! There are many well-known writers under his name! I have always wanted to see what these writers look like in this circle!"

Xiao Liu said silently: "You know more than me."

"So, Xiao Liu Jun would take me with me!" Misaki Uami said with a smile.

Xiaoliu turned her head and asked Shiina Mahara: "Does Mahara want to go too?"

Zhenbai frowned slightly. Although she was very powerful at the banquet at Xinmeng Club with Xiao Liu, on the other hand, she wanted to draw this comic as soon as possible, and she was a little hesitant for a while.

Misaki Uami next to him said, "Let's go together! After so many days of continuous drawing of comics, it's time to relax, otherwise you won't be able to draw a better comic!"

After hearing this, Zhenbai nodded and said, "Then I'll go too."

"Well... OK, let's buy dresses together." Xiao Liu said.

Afterwards, the three of them came to a dress shop in the store street and selected some dresses.

Xiao Liu naturally chose a close-fitting and handsome suit. Zhenbai chose a pure white dress, as if she had become the Snow White in a fairy tale, which was so beautiful that it was amazing.

Misaki chose a yellow and white floral dress, which was also very beautiful.

"How is it? How is it? Young Master Xiao Liu, are you stunned?" Misaki ran to Xiao Liu with a smile, turned around slowly, and asked proudly.

Xiao Liu narrowed her eyes and said calmly: "I am no longer your junior anymore, and your outfit is really good... Do you match it... Well? It's really a bit beautiful."

"Hehe!" Misaki smiled proudly and said, "I am very beautiful. I have such a dress, I can get married with Xiao Liu...jun!"

"This should be what people rely on clothes..." Xiao Liu complained from the side.

"No!"

At this time, Zhenbai walked over and looked up at Xiaoliu, but he didn't say anything, but his expression was very obvious, and he wanted to ask Xiaoliu for his opinion.

Xiao Liu nodded and said with a smile: "It's very suitable for you, very beautiful."

"Yeah." Zhenbai nodded happily, with two pink spots on her cheeks. She really liked such clothes very much. She could win the praise of Xiao Liujun, so she liked them even more. She couldn't help but feel a little happy. Fortunately, she came out, otherwise there would be no scene in front of her.

"Oh~~Why is the normal evaluation given to Mabashi Jiang? Xiao Liujun is really fed up with the old and old!" Misaki next to him immediately curled his lips, looking a little unhappy.

"Because, it's normal to be so white." Xiao Liu said naturally.

"What does it mean to be a real white sauce? Does Xiao Liu think I am abnormal? You are too biased!"

The fight here, coupled with Misaki's voice, immediately attracted a lot of attention. Most of them were 20-30-year-olds who were entering and leaving the society. They stopped not far away and looked at the three-person group here, and couldn't help but sigh that young people are really open now. Are they already old before they entered middle age...

After choosing the dress, Xiao Liu paid for it. Because she did not specifically choose bargains and those luxurious and inconspicuous dresses, the three sets of dresses cost a total of 400,000 yen.

This is equivalent to the monthly income of an ordinary Japanese family, even more than a little bit. However, for Xiaoliu, it was drizzling and swiping his card to pay without any pain. Xiaoliu and Misaki Mashiraba took a taxi and came to the parking lot near Qingxuanju. They drove out a Bentley inside. It is better to use this kind of car to attend the celebration banquet.

This Bentley is worth 120 million yen, which is quite different from the Ferrari LaFerrari, but the two are not of the same type, one sports car and the other sedan, and there is not much comparison.

This car is the first car Xiao Liu owned.

However, it was not bought by Xiao Liu, but given by someone else.

In fact, there are not so many good things in the world. After taking up this car, it caused quite a lot of trouble to Xiao Liu at that time. Fortunately, they were all solved.

Shangdao Qingyu called again at this time. Xiao Liu answered the phone, drove the car to the side of the road, honked the horn, and found that Shangdao Qingyu had no response, and said, "Shangdao Qingyu Editor, here, I'm here."

There are still no discoveries around the head of Qingyuhuan on the island.

Xiao Liu couldn't help but feel speechless. What kind of look is this? You know, the car is driving next to you less than three meters.

Xiao Liu honked the horn again and said, "Editor on the island, I'm in the car."

"What car? No, there is no taxi here, only one Bin..." Aoshima said with a frown, but when he looked at the driver's seat of the Bentley, he immediately opened his mouth, and it was really inside this Bentley!

Who is this little Liu Jun?

Shangdao Qingyu swallowed and said, "I saw you..."
