Chapter 336: Comic Weekly both exceeded 3 million copies! Shocked the entire Japanese comic industry!!

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 included 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 state, 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 Japanese manga weekly fluctuating 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.

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.

Xu Qingsheng negotiated with them and signed an agency contract.

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

At this time, these agents really sounded like that.

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.

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

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

Three days later.

This price is fixed.

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

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

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

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

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

In other words, Clearwater Bay Comic Weekly.

As sales continue to rise.

comics?

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

Akihabara streets.

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.

You can even see comic books at this newspaper stop.

It is impossible to increase sales like arcade game consoles.

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

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

...

There are two comic weekly comics that don't look very thick, and one only contains about ten chapters. They cost 700 yen, but the other party still thought it was worth it.

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

"Excuse me, how much does it cost?"

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

...

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

"Our latest comic weekly issue."

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

Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

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

195 yen equals 1 US dollar.

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

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.

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

Repulse Bay mid-level villa.

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

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

It didn't take long.

Even, there will be more and more.

This is definitely a very nice Japanese comic book.

Young people who like pinball machines or game machines will inevitably pass by this store when they go to the game hall.

According to the current content of the first volume of these two comics, it can be published for ten issues. 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.

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

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

1 million copies.

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

As for China, even if the country liberalizes the distribution of comics, it is impossible, because when the country can't even eat enough, there is no need to ask others to use money to consume.

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

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

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

500,000 copies.

Yang Ming had just finished dinner with his parents.

"350 yen."

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

A thousand comics weekly copies were sold here.

"Excuse me, what is this?"

350 yen is almost $1.80.

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

From breaking through 100,000 copies.

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 Asia. He knew that these two comics

It has become very popular in the East.

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. Both sales exceeded 3 million copies, which directly shocked the comic industry in Japan.
