The secret of the Japanese comic circle: Rumiko Takahashi was rejected by the editor of "Dragon Ball" and became a master

As the saying goes, "the carp jumps over the dragon gate", every industry has its so-called dragon gate, and the top dragon gate in the Japanese comics circle is undoubtedly "Weekly Shonen Jump". Recently, Japanese media summarized the secrets of the Japanese comics circle, among which was that Rumiko Takahashi was rejected by the editor-in-chief of "Dragon Ball" and turned to Shogakukan and became a master.

Even if you can’t get into Shonen Jump, you can still succeed! Learn about the experiences of three masters:

Rumiko Takahashi

When he made his debut, the first thing he thought of was the industry's top-tier Shonen Jump. However, he was ruthlessly rejected by Kazuhiko Torishima, who was reviewing his work at the time. Fortunately, Mr. Takahashi was not discouraged and switched to Shogakukan. Interestingly, Kazuhiko Torishima later became famous for discovering Akira Toriyama, and even became the editor-in-chief.

Watanabe Ko

This cartoonist also failed in "Weekly Shonen Jump". Ironically, he won an award in a POP work held by Shueisha when he was 15 years old, but did not attract the attention of "Weekly Shonen Jump". Instead, he switched to a magazine under Akita Shoten and became famous with "Yowamushi Pedal".

· Suzuki Naka

For some reason, he broke up with "Weekly Shonen Jump" and moved to many magazines. However, his later masterpiece "The Seven Deadly Sins" finally made him famous after he moved to Kodansha. At that time, it was even hailed as a comic work that dominated the four major weekly magazines.
