Chapter 593: Theo's Inexperience, Manga Cons, and Ideas Surging



"In summary, the weekly release of a manga magazine is important for maintaining reader engagement, facilitating real-time feedback and interaction, nurturing new talent, exerting industry influence, and contributing to the economic viability of the manga industry. Its consistent presence and dynamic content have made it a vital and beloved publication for manga enthusiasts worldwide." Sayuri said with certainty..

"So far, the Fuji Jump Co. has been an exception to this rule due to the high quality of our products. Every piece of manga and light novel we published has become a success for the public. We managed to climb from a small niche publishing house to a relatively renown medium-sized publishing house in just 6 months. This feat by itself can prove the strength and popularity of our products." Sayuri explained as she presented some numbers on the

screen.

Theo and Sam nodded their heads in understanding.

"But even with all this success, we managed to discover a concerning fact during our research. We found that the publishing has an almost non-existent market presence. Although a part of the reason for this is because of the short time since the company expanded to the rest of the country, this isn't the only reason." Sayuri said with a serious voice, "Last year we sold more than 20 million copies of mangas and light novels, so we should have at least a small presence in the market. But what we managed to find out is that due to the fact that the products we sell are basically normal manga and light novel books, we didn't manage to leave a long-lasting impression on the public." Sayuri paused her presentation to have this information sink in.

As he heard her argument, Theo had to admit that Sayuri had a valid point.

Due to his inexperience in the manga market and industry, Theo had no idea about this kind of information. Before Sayuri explained, he had no idea that a manga magazine could be so important for a publishing company.Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

"As we viewed our plans for the construction of the large printing factory. We concluded that even if receive the increase of 50 million copies per month that the factory might bring after its completion, we still wouldn't join the ranks of Large Publishing Houses if we don't increase our fame and market presence. In summary, if we want to put this new large factory into good use, we have to start our own magazine." Sayuri concluded with a smile that exhaled confidence.

Theo and Sam stayed silent as they pondered over Sayuri's proposition.

She was happy that her friend was doing such a great job at her work.

"I have to agree with Sam. Your approach was spot-on, Sayuri. Good job." Theo chimed in with another smile.

"Thank you, bosses!" Sayuri replied with slightly blushed cheeks.

"And yes, I do have a few doubts. I presume you and your team scouted the market and our competitors' magazines, right?" Theo asked.

"Yes, we did such a thing." Sayuri replied promptly.

"Is there any magazine that started operating online as well?" Theo started with a curious look on his face.

As he listened to Sayuri's explanation a few minutes ago, he managed to think of a possibility that hadn't been properly explored by anyone else.

Sayuri thought for a while before replying, "Hmm, there is. The Large Publishing Houses and famous companies started operating online as well some years ago. But the readers still prefer the physical copy. So, the smaller companies don't find it necessary to operate online. At the moment, only the famous magazines have a presence online."

Theo's eyes shone even brighter as he heard that, "How does the other publishing house operate online with their works? Do they sell online versions of their mangas and light novels? How's the situation of the online mangas and light novels?" Theo looked even more intensely at Sayuri as he asked that.

Depending on her answer, he was starting to think of an idea that might shake the industry.
