Hi, everyone!
Around this time of the month, our editors are very busy working on the process, which we call “Nyu-ko” in Japanese.
In the previous episodes, Mr. Watanabe explained this as the process where the editors have to send the inked drawings along with additional text, instructions, and print orders, to the printing partners.
It actually sounds quite confusing, doesn’t it…? What did he mean by “complete the inked drawings”? Or the “additional texts, instructions, and print orders”?
Today I will follow this process, which is the busiest time for an editor!
Introducing Mr. Kasahara to teach us how the process is done! He is the editor who is currently in charge of Tetsuo Hara sensei’s production.
I just briefly ran through all the process. This “Nyu-ko” is very simple in process, but it is also the toughest part of the creation of manga, and editors are always exhausted during this period. They have to spare lots of time and mental power, since it is a process which cannot be done by the editor alone. Cooperation with the manga artists, the designer, and the printing partners, are all very important, which makes things harder. It was after I joined this company that I got to know that there is so much to prepare for a manga magazine before you even begin the proof printing! Now I see this “editing”, which is possibly why an editor is called an editor in the first place, is a very simple process, but is much tougher than it sounds like! I totally admire all our editors who have to think of brand new ideas every month! Next time on MANGA INSIDER… the creation of manga arrives to the climax – the proof reading, which is the last yet big part! All the editors are so tense during this process… Please do give me courage to complete the article, by writing comments!!
