Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 148 Why is it so popular all of a sudden (8000 words goal achieved!)

Konoe Lianghua and the three of them stood by the side of the road and finished reading the first chapter of "The Winner Is Justice" on "Aversion to Chill".

After reading it, each of them showed a feeling of unfinished business.

In particular, Takahashi Yumi kept shouting "read slowly, read slowly", as if she was afraid of reading this manga directly.

This is also normal.

When most people encounter a work they particularly like, they will basically read it slowly, and are reluctant to finish reading this work.

This is true for reading books, watching animation, and watching TV shows.

In their eyes, Higashinoji's "The Winner Is Justice" is such a work that they are afraid to finish it and are reluctant to finish it.

"I have an impulse." After watching "The Winner Is Justice", Takahashi Yumi smacked her lips: "I want to take a knife and force Mr. Higashino to draw the draft of the next chapter tonight."

"" Fujiwara Aoi didn't speak, but there was emotion in her eyes, and she seemed to be agitated.

Konoe Lianghua next to her was still immersed in the plot, especially Dai Machiko, who had short hair and big breasts, which made her feel very involved.

But as soon as she heard Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi's plan, she immediately reacted. In order to avoid conflicts between her best friends and her boyfriend, she raised her hand stupidly: "I, shall I ask Asi for it? Yumi doesn't want it." Can you move the knife?"

"Just kidding. I'm not that kind of fierce woman."

Takahashi Yumi immediately explained that she was afraid Konoe Lianghua took it seriously.

But well

"The manga "Victor Is Justice" is really good. Oh, I really want to read the second chapter."

She sighed.

At the same time, there were also people who made similar sighs like her.

"It's Higashino-sensei from Urashima Publishing House again." Akasaka Kazuya, holding the pen, stared at the "chill" and "thriller" in front of him, and then glanced at the empty manuscript in front of him, falling into a state of doubting life.

The weekly Chao Jin reviews many comics, analyzing their merits, strengths and weaknesses.

However, most of the advantages are works of Fuji Publishing House, and most of the disadvantages are works of other publishing houses-after all, "Chaojin" is a magazine of Fuji Publishing House.

Logically speaking, Fuji Publishing’s leading author, Kimoto Fujishin, came out with a manga today, and he should be bragging about it. After all, we are both publications of the same publishing house.

In fact, Kimoto Teng's works can really make him boast.

But at this moment

"Another nemesis came out halfway."

Akasaka Kazuya rubbed his temples, really didn't know what to say.

If Higashinoji draws comics with common horror themes, then he doesn't care. He can ignore Higashinoji and continue to play Kimoto's "Lawyer Trap" comic.

But what is surviving is that Higashino Division actually chose the subject matter that was directly opposite to Kimoto Teng.

It is also a lawyer career cartoon.

As the saying goes, if there is a comparison, there will be a gap.

And as long as it is the same comic theme, there will definitely be a comparison.

This really left Kazuya Akasaka with nowhere to start.

Because I don't think much about Higashino Division's "The Winner Is Justice" has overwhelmed Kimoto Fuji's "The Lawyer's Trap".

Readers are not blind.

Moreover, the readers of "Chaojin" also have many fans of Higashinoji. If he commented rashly, he would definitely be attacked by these readers.

But because of the similar themes, he couldn't ignore Tonoji's "The Winner Is Justice".

So Kazuya Akasaka was once again in trouble.

At the same time, this also made him unable to resist praying to gods and worshiping Buddha——please, Dong Yesi, the enemy of his life, accept his supernatural powers, I just want to write a review properly.Don't act like you're aiming for the right moment and force yourself to come up.

"But fortunately, this is just the first chapter, and you can pass it by pretending to be stupid."

Akasaka Kazuya shook his head, still preparing to bite the bullet and start writing.

At worst, readers will scold him as a blind man, saying "blind man, I don't even recommend the comic "Victor Is Justice", because he doesn't have eyes." He has been scolded like this before.

But what else could we do?

Facing Dong Yesi's lifelong enemy, he really couldn't think of a way.

He can't let him pick up the knife and solve the physical nature of Higashinoji's knife, out of sight, out of mind, right?

On the other side, Higashinoji, who had just finished class, received a call from Shinji Furuta.

The person on the other side of the phone was not Shinji Furuta, but Suzuki Yu.

This made Higashinoji somewhat surprised: "Mr. Kimoto Fuji, what's the matter?"

His question was very gentle, but he didn't mean to be aggressive.

Then--

"I'm here to apologize!!!"

Tree Benteng's voice came from the phone, but it was a bit loud.

Dong Yesi only felt that he was going to be deafened by the roar.

His face was inexplicable, you said you apologized and apologized, why are you still yelling?The sound is still so loud?It's as if I'm on the apology side.

"There's no need to apologize, Mr. Kimoto Fuji." Higashinoji was not so small-minded, and he really didn't care much about what Suzuki Yu said before.

In fact, the Suzuki Yu girl is considered a clear stream in this industry, and it is indeed admirable to keep her own heart.

"No! I must apologize!" Suzuki Yu bowed without any hesitation on the other side of the phone, regardless of whether Dong Yesi could see it or not: "I said something too arrogant to cause you trouble. I'm so sorry!!!"

Her tone was sincere, without any falsehood.

Just talking about it, Higashinoji heard the sound of sobbing on the phone.

Higashino Division opened his mouth in astonishment: "Teacher Kimoto Teng?"

Why did you just cry while talking?

Just now, his tone was sincere, and he looked sincerely convinced.

"It's none of your business, Teacher Dongye, I'm just not reconciled to losing."

Suzuki Yu wiped away his tears and answered him immediately.

Yes, I'm so unhappy

With a time difference of 45 days, Dong Yesi really pulled her back, and the opponent directly defeated her.

"But I won't lose again in the next sentence." Suzuki Yu added seriously: "I will definitely catch up with you, Higashino-sensei."

There are many things that can happen during serialization.

Many comic authors lose the rhythm and plot of the entire comic while drawing it—this is also a very normal thing.

Suzuki Yu, on the other hand, belongs to the type of better painting.

She belongs to the kind of talented and hard-working manga author who gets better the more she draws.

So as long as she keeps pace, step by step, she will definitely be able to surpass Higashinoji, at least Suzuki Yu thinks so.

If one word is not enough, then the second word.

If the second word is not enough, the third word is enough.

All the way to the future, the children and grandchildren are endless.

That's probably how she feels.

And Higashinoji replied happily after hearing her say this: "If that's the case, I will come up with a better manuscript in the next chapter. I will definitely not let you, Mr. Kimoto Fuji, surpass you."

He wouldn't be so hypocritical as to say something like 'then I'll wait for Mr. Kimoto Fuji to catch up'.

There is still something to be fought for, and if you don't work hard, you will get nothing.

Do you really think that the world is full of male protagonists in novels who don't fight for anything, don't think about anything, and then deliver beautiful women and wealth to their door?

This is impossible.

The manga industry is always crowded and trampled. If Suzuki Yu wants to compete, Higashinoji naturally wants to compete.

Who doesn't want to be a national-level cartoonist?

Listening to Higashinoji's words, Suzuki Yu over there also laughed twice, and hung up the call.

The opponent is a very competitive person, and Higashino is the same.

If so, there is nothing to say.

""Victor is Justice" still needs to work harder."

Higashino searched his memory, and soon thought of the very famous ninth episode in "The Winner Is Justice".

The villagers contracted diseases one by one due to the arrival of the chemical factory, the water source was polluted, the soil was barren, and poisonous substances were everywhere. In this situation, the villagers found Gu Meimen Kensuke and entrusted him to defeat Xianyu Chemical

This may seem like a fairly commonplace case.

But there's a lot of discussion about old people, pollution, and Japanese culture.

And "The Winner is Justice" is where there are discussions, so it can be called a popular national drama.

Faced with the old villagers' accusations and decision to withdraw the lawsuit, Gu Meimen Kensuke said to Dai Machiko behind him with an extremely frivolous attitude: "Dai, you remember, this is the deep-rooted culture of licking each other's wounds in this country. If you get used to being kept for a long time, it will become a parasite-like creature like this."

The Juanmei villagers who were ridiculed as parasites were excited, and some old men even wanted to rush forward to fight Gu Meimen Kensuke.

But in the face of their accusations, Gu Meimen Kensuke just sneered: "So what! So you want to be pitied? So you want to be comforted? So you will be happy when others treat you better?"

Gu Meimen's voice gradually became higher, and he seemed to condemn the villagers from the bottom of his heart:

"Let me tell you! Money is not everything! Money is the way you avenge your opponents, and see your bones. It is the most appropriate price to regain what you have been deprived of and your dignity that has been trampled. no."

And this section was also cut out by many Chinese audiences in the previous life, and it was regarded as a famous scene of Amway's Japanese drama.

Higashino plans to insert this famous scene in the third chapter of the manga in reverse. From the third chapter onwards, the atmosphere of the whole "Victor is Justice" will be lively!

While Higashino Division was thinking about how to arrange the plot perfectly, Urashima Publishing House was also busy.

That's what the editorial office is like.

When I’m free, I’m so idle, when I’m busy, I can’t wait to move the bedding to the company to work overtime.

"Haven't the urgent statistics of "Victor Is Justice" come out yet? Let the people over there with the statistical statistics have some fun!"

"Have the posters been put up? Mr. Higashino is the pillar of our Urashima Publishing House. The posters should be spread out in large quantities. Remember to have them on the subway and buses."

"How's the response to the promotional soft article? It's good? Then hurry up and write it right. Bring the newspaper reporter from the Asahi Shimbun over and their editor-in-chief still owes me a drink. It's a good time to use favors."

Editor-in-chief Urashima sent out instructions one after another, and the entire editorial department was in constant motion.

He couldn't calm down either—

Because the response to "Victor is Justice" is simply too great.

Bigger hit than "The Ring"!

This is not an exaggeration.

Although "Midnight Ring" is a horror comic at the national level.

But it is just a horror comic. It will generate discussion because of horror, but it will only generate discussion and topics.

But "Winner Is Justice" is different.

On the one hand, Higashino has accumulated a lot of popularity through "Midnight Bell" and "The Lonely Gourmet".

The second is that there are many reflections on "justice" and "law" in "The Winner Is Justice".

Gu Meimen's research ideas are too trendy.

Is the law really just?

Is it right to pursue justice?

Is there justice in real life?

Discussions like this ignited many forums in Japan in an instant.

As a horror comic, "Midnight Bell" is scary at best, and it is impossible to produce such topical effects of mutual discussion and mutual fighting.

Many people posted online, calling Higashino's "Victor Is Justice" a masterpiece.

At the same time, there are quite a few people who say that the idea of ​​Gu Meimen Kensuke in "The Winner Is Justice" is too extreme.

After all, it is 2003, and the legacy of the Showa era is quite serious.

Quite a few people can't accept such a utilitarian, lustful, and unprofessional character like Gu Meimen Kensuke.

But even so-the evaluation did not show polarization, but positive reviews dominated the majority.

Because in the final analysis, the readers of "Aversion to Chill" are young people.

Coupled with the novel experience of Higashino Umi's painting skills, many readers want to experience it several times after experiencing it once.

The discussion of the manga "The Winner Is Justice" was instantly marked as "Akamaru Rapid Rise" by the Japanese Oricon Rankings to the extent visible to the naked eye.

This is also the fifth or sixth time that Higashino has been on the Oricon list, and Akamaru has risen sharply, and this time the popularity directly surpassed the news of a celebrity cheating, and jumped directly to the first place on the Oricon list. (The previous few times were discussions on the "Midnight Ring" booklet and "The Lonely Gourmet")

Faced with such heat, some news media naturally did not let it go.

They sharpened their pens and guns one after another, preparing to bring out the bad name of 'Dongyesi' before, and make another wave of enthusiasm!

At the same time, they couldn't help sighing -- what a genius manga author, who can make a manga so popular even if he draws it casually.

A genius is a genius!awesome!

This caused the popularity of "The Winner Is Justice" to rise again.

Many people, not only young people, but also some professional lawyers have paid attention to this cartoon that suddenly appeared in a day.

They also wanted to see what the cartoon was about lawyers.

How did it become so popular all of a sudden?
