Chapter 31: Hot out of stock
The sun showed a white belly in the east and gradually rose in just two hours. The morning light of thousands of miles penetrated through the thick clouds and illuminated every corner of Tokyo.
This is Tokyo in the morning, full of infinite vitality and business opportunities. For example, an unknown bookstore in Tokyo ushered in a peak sales period.
"The boss brought me a copy of "Dengeki King"!"
A young man rushed into the bookstore happily and asked before seeing the comic book, which shows that the enthusiasm is extraordinary.
The manager of Tanimura was in a daze, and he came back to his senses when he heard customers calling him.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't expect "Dengeki King" to sell so well, now it is out of stock."
The manager bowed to apologize, and the standard ninety-degree angle made the enthusiastic young man feel cold.
"Isn't there really nothing left, even one copy? You are the store manager, you must have one in your own collection. Why don't you sell it to me at a high price? I'll pay three times the price." The boy still didn't give up.
"It's really gone. I didn't even read "Dengeki King". I only read "Shounen Jump" and a light novel last night."
The manager has a slightly bitter face. In fact, he apologized more than two hundred times in the morning. He didn't expect "Dengeki King" to be so popular. Now he encounters a guy who offers three times the price, which makes his heart even more bitter.
As early as when the supplier delivered the goods, someone asked him if he wanted to buy twice as much, but he actually smiled and refused.
Now when he thinks about it, he has the urge to slap himself.
By the way, the manager Tanimura knew why "Dengeki King" suddenly became popular.
He secretly speculated that the reason for the sudden fire of the Dengeki king should be the cute heroine on the cover!
Thinking back to the cover of the Dengeki King, Izumi Sagiri's appearance is still vivid, with an indescribable magical nature, imprinted in his mind.
Light blue hair, floppy bangs, and wearing a strapless white shirt, her cute gaze looks to the upper left, her shy face can be broken with a finger, and she is beyond cute.
The focus is on painting style. This kind of painting style is not traditional muscle line style, nor 3D style, but an exquisite style similar to FBS. However, the character of Izumi Sagiri is obviously several times better than FBS.
"I don't know what comic is this, it can actually drive sales like FBS."
The manager bought 1.5 times the goods this time. He thought that "Fights Break Sphere" would increase sales, but now it seems that there are other potential masterpieces on Dengeki.
Speaking of Fighting Breaking Sphere, the manager Tanimura found that this comic was very fierce at the beginning. The sales exploded in the first week, but the sales in the second week dropped slightly by 0.5 times.
It is said that the reason for the decline of "Dengeki King" is that "Fight Break Sphere" was updated to the third chapter on the Internet. Some readers know what the future plot will be because of reading it on the Internet and reading the original book of this comic. So, there is no reason to buy it.
"Is the manager only available tonight? I heard that there are two chapters of "Eromanga-sensei" by Dengeki King this week. If you don't collect it, you will suffer too much."
The manager heard the words. It turned out that this comic was called "Eromanga-sensei", and the title of the book has a feeling of H.
The important thing is to publish two consecutive chapters. A new comic with such strong layout support is definitely a potential masterpiece of "Dengeki King".
"Well, I'll assure you. If what you said is true, then the extra print should be coming soon." After hearing that he quickly called the supplier.
At this time, a wave of readers flooded into the store one after another, all fans of Sagiri Izumi. It happened that the enthusiastic young man was there. In order not to disturb the manager ordering the manga, he personally stood at the entrance to explain the shortage of manga to each customer.
Everyone knew that the manga was out of stock, so they had to buy a copy of "Shounen Jump" and left, while some Sagiri fans waited for news from the manager in the store.
After a while, the manager with short brown hair touched his head and walked out with a smile: "Don't worry everyone, we will have available stock at noon today. Just come and buy it at that time."
"It's great, you can see Saguiri's face at noon." A girl in a sailor suit cheered.
The 30-year-old store manager was slightly surprised. He glanced at the girl in the sailor suit from the corner of his light, secretly wondering, why would any girl like this manga named H? Is it bad?
This girl is very young, with baby fat on her face. She is wearing a white Kanto-breasted sailor suit, embroidered with the emblem of Tokyo Private Girls' High School, and her miniskirt is black and red Scottish. She is wearing black short-neck socks. She is a standard cute girl.
Another girl dressed the same as her, but with shorter hair and makeup on her face, she was in her first grade.
"After watching the live broadcast for two hours yesterday, the brother finally stepped into sister's room and almost rubbed her face..."
The manager listened to the conversation between the two fans and felt that his worldview was a little broken.
What's going on, a cute girl and a beautiful high school girl discuss how the love sparks between brother and sister?
If the store manager has an expression on his face, it must be a black question mark face: "???"
"I take the liberty to ask Eromanga-sensei" Is it romantic?" The manager wiped his sweat.
The two girls looked surprised. They didn't expect the store manager to talk to them and ask such stupid questions.
The shop manager who sells the comics doesn't know the plot of the comics. Can this not shock them?
The girl nodded but didn't say everything. She tapped her chin with her ring finger and estimated at an elevation angle of 45 degrees, "This is not clear, but the sister is very cute. Maybe she will develop in the direction of love in the future."
Indeed, as she said, the content of the two chapters is too small. The characters in the whole book have not yet appeared. It is not clear what the line of comics is. The current gimmick is still at the level of "My sister is Eromanga-sensei" On the above, the preliminary positioning of daily life.
However, readers who have read and loved this comic will expect a subtle emotional collision between brother and sister in their hearts.
After listening to the explanation, the store manager was also aroused.
What kind of comic is this? There is no **** battle, no suspense, and horror, only ordinary daily life, like this kind of comics with very few selling points, how does it attract the attention of comic friends?
Is the picture quality or the character set, or is the plot dominant?
The store manager secretly regretted it. If he had known it earlier, when he saw the cover of Izumi Sagiri this morning, he would have secretly intercepted the next "Dengeki King".
After a while, old customers left one after another, and new customers came in again. After half a day, 60% of people asked the store if there was "Dengeki King".
Speaking of this kind of potential new work, there will definitely be on the Internet, but the store manager likes to read physical books. He thinks that only by reading paper comics can you experience a perfect reading experience.
While he was in a daze, the supplier's truck arrived...
