Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 136 "The Winner Is Justice" (8000 words goal achieved)

Many readers disagreed on whether "Midnight Bell" should end, and many newspaper reporters approached Hosokawa Koharu to inquire.

And Hosokawa Koharu naturally gave a very official answer - no spoilers, if you want to know the result, please wait for the result of the new issue of "Aversion to Cold".

In this situation where everyone looked up, Higashinoji's "Midnight Ring" ushered in the final episode.

"It's really over."

When everyone saw the big 'Final Return' logo on the cover of "The Cold", everyone couldn't help but rubbed their eyes, and finally let out a sigh of satisfaction and accepted the ending.

"Midnight Ring" has a perfect ending!

Really a perfect ending.

In the last five weeks, the performance of "Midnight Ring" has exceeded everyone's imagination.

A manga can end in such a perfect way

To be honest, it is actually the dream of many comic book authors.

Even some hot manga authors have talked about it in the supplementary pages of their serial manga - 'It is my dream to be able to complete a work as perfectly as Mr. Higashino. '

And after "Midnight Bell" ended, Urashima Publishing House also directly released the number of readers' positive votes for "Midnight Bell" from the beginning to the end of the serialization in its own comic review magazine.

When seeing the internal count of votes, both readers and editors were surprised.

"Midnight Ring" has occupied the first place in the reader's praise rate for [-] consecutive weeks!In "Aversion to Chill", you can hardly find anyone who can fight with a knife.

Especially the number of votes in the last few weeks, are you really kidding? The number of favorable votes from readers of "Midnight Ring" directly soared to 700, and the number of favorable votes for the last episode even reached 715.

This is simply unimaginable.

"Aversion to Chill" counted [-] readers' replies. (There are three boxes on a reader's reply letter, where you can write your favorite comics, and you cannot fill in repeatedly)

So this is equivalent to more than 70.00% of people like the work "Midnight Ring".

And it is this highly popular work that is actually over?

There is another very interesting phenomenon.

That is, no one jumped out to question the authenticity of the readers' praise data released by Urashima Publishing House.

Because in good conscience, "Midnight Ring" is really good.

In the midst of this discussion, Higashino Division did not express his position.

Because compared to the vague things like expressing his opinion, he still has the original manuscript of "The Lonely Gourmet" to be completed.

The second episode "The Lonely Gourmet" was published on "Aoba" soon, and it is still a serious Japanese style of humor, especially the interaction between a service staff and Party A is very interesting-in fact, it is an air conditioner The remote control was out of power, but the owner thought it was the air conditioner that was broken, so he kept complaining to the home appliance store, saying that the air conditioner here was particularly prone to failure.

This ironic humor made "The Lonely Gourmet" once again recognized by these service classes, and they all said that they had indeed encountered such a thing in their lives.

"After finishing "Midnight Ring", I was able to draw "The Lonely Gourmet" so interestingly. It seems that it has not been affected at all. It is indeed a Tono printer."

The male editor of Urashima Publishing House looked at the new chapter "The Lonely Gourmet" and sighed loudly.

Originally, some people were worried about whether the serialization of "The Lonely Gourmet" by Higashino Division would be affected after the end of "Midnight Ring".

But now it seems that there is no such thing at all. The Dongye printer has no errors such as paper jams and operation failures, and can still produce a large number of high-quality originals.

It happened that the male editor saw Hosokawa Koharu retreating from the editor-in-chief's desk at the same time as he was putting down "Green Leaf", so he reached out and said hello: "Editor Hosokawa, are you free tonight? Let's take a moment, let's go together Go have a meal."

"Uh, I'm sorry about that, Oshima-senpai." Hosokawa Koharu shuddered, and then hastily explained: "I'm going to see Higashino-sensei tonight to celebrate, and then discuss the serialization of the new manga."

"Are you in such a hurry? Doesn't Teacher Dongye take a break?" Editor Oshima was stunned.

After finishing a popular work, it's okay to rest for a few weeks, but Higashinoji still wants to continue to draw works?

Dongye printers live up to their reputation!

"It's not that I'm in a hurry, but Teacher Dongye is sorry."

After saying this, she bowed apologetically before returning to her seat.

call

She exhaled forcefully, her scalp was a little numb.

When she was ignorant, she liked this kind of social wine event very much, but now she is sensible.

This group of seniors always asked her if she had any tricks, not to mention drinking, she didn't even want to take a bite of food, and when she came to the reception, she was the target of fire, who would want to go?

"Fortunately, Mr. Higashino was used as a shield." Hosokawa Xiaoharu thought to himself.

She didn't lie, she really wanted to have dinner with Higashinoji tonight to celebrate, and she also had the idea of ​​discussing new comics with him.

Of course, if you look at it according to Hosokawa Koharu, it must be to let Higashinoji rest for a while.

He has been serialized for so long at the same time, others may seem very remarkable, but Hosokawa Koharu clearly knows how much time Higashino has devoted to this.

Basically young people will go out on Saturdays and Sundays, but he stays at home all day to draw manga, and he doesn't have much rest time except to accompany Chihaya Higashino.

It can be said to be a ruthless caricature drawing machine.

"I still need to talk to Mr. Higashino for a while," Hosokawa Koharu thought.

Two hours later, Hosokawa Koharu, who had finished all the work, got permission from the editor-in-chief Urashima to leave work early and go to Higashino's house.

"Hello? Mr. Higashino." Hosokawa Xiaochun stopped the car and called Higashino Division: "I've already arrived downstairs from you. How are your preparations going?"

"Well, it's almost ready and come down immediately." Dong Yesi responded cheerfully on the phone.

Hosokawa Koharu had called him before, saying that he was preparing to celebrate, so Higashino was not particularly surprised.

Almost two minutes later, Higashino Chihaya and Higashino Chihaya appeared downstairs in the apartment: "Sorry for keeping you waiting, Editor Hosokawa."

Higashino Division came over and greeted Hosokawa Koharu with a smile.

"Isn't there anything to wait for? That's right." Hosokawa Koharu turned to look at Higashino Chihaya standing next to Higashino, just when he was about to praise him for being beautifully dressed——

"Xiaochun, you haven't got Asi yet?" Higashino Chihaya asked in shock when she saw her.

Uh--

Hosokawa Koharu was immediately blocked by this sentence, and before she could open her mouth, she heard Chihaya Higashino saying seriously in the tone of an elder educating the younger generation:

"That's not okay, Xiaochun, A Si is so good-looking, there must be many girls in the school who like him, you can't miss the opportunity."

"" Hosokawa Xiaochun was really dumbfounded, she didn't know how to answer for a while.

But at this time, Higashino was also laughing at the side and fired: "Yes, editor Hosokawa, you have to seize the opportunity, I also think that a good man like me is rare."

Chihaya Higashino, who was next to her, also naturally echoed her younger brother: "Look, Asi gave you a chance, you should use it a bit, Xiaochun."

Then she turned around and reprimanded Dong Yesi: "You too, A Si, you can't always make girls too active, right? You should take the initiative."

Hearing Chihaya Higashino's reproachful voice, Tsukasa Higashino naturally smiled and nodded; "I'll do my best."

Hosokawa Koharu didn't say anything about this.

After all, she is also a mature social person, and she can clearly tell what is a joke and what is the truth.

Higashinoji's remark was obviously a joke, so she naturally wouldn't take it seriously.

Higashino Chihaya and Higashino Chihaya said a few more words outside the car before getting in the car.

About three or ten minutes later, Hosokawa Koharu brought Higashinoji and Higashino Chihaya to a particularly well-decorated Japanese restaurant.

There are small trees and ponds planted in the courtyard of this restaurant, which looks very elegant and interesting.

When Higashino Division and Higashino Chihaya sat down completely, Hosokawa Koharu asked with a strange expression: "Mr. Higashino, I saw you carrying a bag just now, what's in it?"

Yes, since just now she discovered that Dong Yesi was carrying a paper bag, and she didn't know what was in it.

"Ah, this, this is the draft storyboard for the new manga serialization." Higashino did not hide anything from Hosokawa Koharu, and simply took out the contents of the bag.

The draft storyboard, also known as name, is actually a very rough manuscript, which is used by the comic book author to show the editor the plot of the story. The characters in it have not undergone any refinement and processing, and the drawing is particularly rough.

Higashino, as a manga author with experience in serialization, naturally allows Hosokawa Koharu to watch the draft storyboard, which is also a privilege of the elderly.

Rookie manga writers can only show the editor with the finished manuscript.

"New manga," Hosokawa Koharu murmured, feeling a little bit in his heart—it really came!

She knew that Higashino Division was not someone who could sit idle.

This time I come here, I might come up with some comics.

but--

Hosokawa Koharu was not in a hurry to read these storyboard drafts, but carefully sorted them out and persuaded:

"Mr. Higashino, don't you think about taking a break? Isn't it hard to finish "Midnight Ring"? Aren't you tired?"

"I'm not tired." Higashino is still very grateful for Hosokawa Koharu's concern: "I am very grateful to Editor Hosokawa for your relationship, but I am not tired. Rather than resting, now I want to come up with another good movie." works."

Once Higashinoji said this, Hosokawa Koharu didn't know how to refute it.

Higashino Division is considered number one, and even the editor persuaded him, hoping that he could rest.

As a result, the printer was not happy and said it still had to work.

How can this be done?

Hosokawa Koharu expressed helplessness, but still said; "In this case, let me see your new work, Mr. Higashino."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was about to pick up the thick stack of drafts, but was stopped by Dong Yesi——

"Wait a minute, editor Hosokawa, please start with this one."

Higashino Division gave Hosokawa Koharu a thick draft of storyboards in order.

But after hearing Higashino's words, Hosokawa Koharu instinctively felt something was wrong. She raised her head with a surprised look: "Start with this one first? Uh, Mr. Higashino, could it be you?"

"Yes, here are the drafts of the two comics."

Higashino nodded with a smile.

"" Hosokawa Koharu.

I thought it would be difficult to make a storyboard of one of your comics, but you changed hands and got me two comics?

What a printing press!

Hosokawa Koharu was a little slanderous, but quickly devoted himself to the two manga in hand.

First up is the first manga.

The name of the first manga is "Blocks Collapsing", which is a work adapted by Higashino in conjunction with the Japanese national hit drama "Blocks Collapsing", which scored a high rating of 45.3% in Japan that year.

It mainly tells the story of conflicts between Japanese unscrupulous girls, teenagers and their parents.

The plot is naturally exciting, and there are various reversals——

The rebellious girl Tomomi gradually corrected her bad behavior under the education of her parents. She no longer smoked drugs, and no longer fooled around with drag racing gangs. Everything seemed to return to the original point.

Until Tomomi's parents wrote their education process into a book.

The book directly ignores the fact that Tomomi is ignored by her parents and lacks family affection, leaving only the hard work of her parents and Tomomi's violent rebellion.

All these factors pushed Tomomi to the brink of rebellion again.

This is a very satirical comic work, the plot is also very interesting, and there are quite a lot of reversals. If it can be drawn, it must be another particularly outstanding work.

But

This is too heavy.

"Chill" is indeed a horror comic, but the oppressive feeling of putting social phenomena directly on top of the comics that should be used as entertainment is a bit too great.

In addition, Higashinoji's painting skills are already very strong, which makes the comic "Collapse of Building Blocks" present a gray feeling as a whole, which is overwhelming.

Hosokawa Koharu raised his head, looked at Higashinoji, and glanced at the storyboard of the second manga draft he had put on the table.

There are a few large characters left in the title bar——

"The Winner Makes Justice".

She glanced at the title, and then carefully flipped through it under Dong Yesi's gesture.

Hosokawa Koharu was fascinated by watching it very quickly, and only raised his head at the end, reacting with a look of astonishment: "Mr. Higashino, do you want to draw professional manga?"

The so-called occupational comics actually use the professional life of doctors, chefs, and bank employees as the stage for comics.

A manga based on the stories that they can encounter in this profession.

As mentioned earlier, although "Aversion to Chill" is a horror comic magazine, it also contains some professional comics as a substitute.

And this comic called "The Winner Is Justice" tells the story of lawyer Gu Meimen and his assistant Xun who used various methods to complete the process of overturning the case.

And the plot is really interesting!

Could it be that Higashinoji was aiming at this point?
