Fuji Jump Co. Stand, Kizuna Hall, Sakura City.
Sunday, March 14.
The Kizuna Hall, a sprawling convention center in the heart of Sakura City, was buzzing with activity. Preparations for PrimCon, the most prestigious anime and manga convention of the spring season, were in full swing. Among the numerous companies setting up their stands, Fuji Jump Co. Publishing House was hard at work, readying itself for its first major appearance under new ownership.
Due to its early preparation, the Fuji Jump had managed to reserve a medium-sized stand, strategically located to draw maximum foot traffic. This was a critical moment for the publishing house. Less than a year ago, it had been acquired by Theo, who now owned 90% of the company. The remaining 10% belonged to Sayuri, the head director and driving force behind Fuji Jump's recent successes. In the short time since the acquisition, Fuji Jump has seen a resurgence in popularity, with several of its titles becoming bestsellers.
