Chapter 334 Comic Weekly both exceeded 3 million copies! shocked the whole

Chapter 334 Comic Weekly both exceeded 3 million copies! Shocked the entire Japanese manga world! !

The so-called weekly means that it is published once a week.

Nowadays, comic weekly magazines under the three major publishing houses in Japan are basically published once a week, and occasionally they may be published twice a week.

This also takes into account the income of Japanese people and the update speed of cartoonists.

However, every comic weekly has different prices after listing.

In the 1960s, it was basically around 300 yen per book. From the 1960s to the 1970s, it started to rise to 300 yen to 400 yen.

The price of this comic weekly is not static. It is increasing with the economic income of Japanese people and the income of cartoonists. In addition, there are also printing costs and other considerations.

In addition, every manga weekly in Japan actually has a tax in it.

In other words, those Japanese readers who want to buy those comic weekly magazines have to pay a sum of money to the country, but this money is already included in the price of the newspaper.

After Xu Qingsheng discussed with the management of the comic company and publishing house, he did not set the price too high based on the current general price of Toyo Comic Weekly, which fluctuates around 350 yen.

The price is too low. Although it is good for the sales of Toyo Comic Weekly, the company does not make money and the value is not great.

The price is too high, and not many readers have the spending power to afford it.

According to Yang Ming's understanding of the Japanese comic weekly, basically, when the comic weekly published by the three major Japanese publishers was at its most popular, the sales volume of each issue ranged from several million to tens of millions of copies.

From here we can see that the sales volume of Japanese comics is extremely large, and there are also many readers of genuine comics.

According to the current exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the US dollar, the Japanese yen is now beginning to appreciate and the US dollar is beginning to depreciate.

195 yen equals 1 US dollar.

350 yen is almost $1.80.

Now in Hong Kong, 1 US dollar fluctuates around 5.5 Hong Kong dollars, which works out to 9.8 Hong Kong dollars.

A comic weekly cost nearly 10 Hong Kong dollars, which was really not cheap in the late 1970s.

This has also formed a unique comics market in Japan, because only the consumer group in Japan can support the development of Japanese comics.

As for China, even if the distribution of comics is liberalized in China, it is impossible, because when the country cannot even have enough to eat, there is no need to ask others to spend money.

"The retail price of our Clearwater Bay comics is uniformly 350 yen, but you will receive a certain commission."

This price is fixed.

It is impossible to increase sales like arcade game consoles.

As for the commission, of course it is proportional, and the retail price of this comic weekly may not seem high. If the sales volume reaches 100,000 copies, 1 million copies, or even 10 million copies, it will be completely different.

The most important thing is that they are released continuously, much faster than arcade game consoles.

The other three giants of Toyo Publishing House publish once a week, and 2D Publishing publishes twice a week, eight times a month, and nearly a hundred times a year. This is also very crazy.

The premise is that two-dimensional comics are popular in Japan.

At this time, these agents really sounded like that.

Xu Qingsheng negotiated with them and signed an agency contract.

The new Clearwater Bay Comic Weekly will be officially released in three days.

Among them, one is "Dragon Ball", and the cover of the weekly magazine features the image of the young Sun Wukong.

One is "Detective Conan", and the cover of the weekly magazine features the image of Conan wearing glasses.

In other words, Clearwater Bay Comic Weekly now publishes two volumes in one issue at the same time.

According to the current content of the first volume of these two comics, ten issues can be published. In other words, even if two issues of the weekly comic are published a week, this is enough for the circulation of the weekly comic for a month.

. . .

Three days later.

Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

Akihabara streets.

A store called Maple Leaf Game Center has stopped outside the entrance.

Young people who like pinball machines or game consoles will definitely stop by this one when they go to the game hall.

Someone saw two large weekly posters posted in front of the newspaper stop.

These young people who were willing to spend money to play game consoles were immediately attracted.

"Excuse me, what is this?"

"Our latest comic weekly issue."

comics?

Here in Akihabara, there are mainly pachinko machines and game consoles, as well as electronic products. In addition, there are also bookstores and even comic books selling in the corners.

You can even see comic books at this newspaper stop.

When the young man with dyed hair curiously picked up "Dragon Ball" and read it, he was immediately attracted to it.

This is definitely a very good looking Japanese comic book.

"Excuse me, how much does it cost?"

"350 yen."

The young man with dyed hair hurriedly paid for the Clearwater Bay comic "Dragon Ball".

Seeing a different copy of "Detective Conan" next to it, the other party took a look at it and paid for it.

Two comic weekly comics that didn't look very thick, one with only about ten chapters, cost 700 yen, but the other party still thought it was worth it.

More and more young people passing by saw the posters and asked about the comic weekly.

Not long.

A thousand copies of the comic weekly were sold here.

When more and more comic weekly magazines were being sold, Xu Qingsheng, who was at the Second Dimension Company, learned that "Dragon Ball" and "Detective Conan" had just been launched and were immediately sought after by comic readers in Japan. It’s become popular in Japan.

Originally, the Japanese comic publishing house thought that printing 100,000 copies was already pretty good. However, Xu Qingsheng felt that not only 100,000 copies should be printed, but even 1 million copies should be printed.

With Dongyang's consumption power and the comic consumers it has accumulated over the years, Xu Qingsheng feels that as long as these two comics are recognized by consumers, one million copies of the weekly magazine may not be enough.

When those comics were all brought back for sale by the agents, Toyo's sales exceeded 100,000 copies at the end of the day.

Even more and more.

The Oriental comics publishing house of Two-Dimensional Trading Co., Ltd. has been stepping up sales day and night.

As sales continue to rise.

From breaking through 100,000 copies.

500,000 copies.

1 million copies.

In fact, it didn't gradually stop until sales reached 3 million copies.

In other words, Clearwater Comics Weekly.

When the first issues were released, "Dragon Ball" and "Detective Conan" both exceeded 3 million copies.

Among them, the consumers of "Dragon Ball" mainly come from Eastern male readers, and the consumers of "Detective Conan" mainly come from Eastern female readers.

. . .

Repulse Bay mid-level villa.

Yang Ming had just finished dinner with his parents.

Butler Lin Dezhong came over and said, "Mr. Yang, this is the call from Mr. Xu Qingsheng of Dongyang."

Yang Ming went upstairs to answer the call.

He has already learned that it turns out that the comic weekly comics "Dragon Ball" and "Detective Conan" have just been launched and have become very popular in Japan, with sales exceeding 3 million copies, which directly shocked the comic industry in Japan.
