Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 202 Could it be that the dog's head is really lost? (8000 words)

Ranked second, with more than 200 favorable votes from readers.

Compared with the average manga author, this result may be quite good.

But for a pillar of the publishing house like Higashino Division, this kind of response can only be said to be average, or even considered to be extreme.

After all, for comics, not everyone can guarantee that the works they produce will definitely become popular.

For example, the author of "Naruto" Masashi Kishimoto's new manga "Machine Servant: Hachimaru Biography" was cut in half due to low popularity in less than a year.

The comics industry does value the author's reputation, but the author's reputation cannot be used as a source of confidence to amuse readers.

However, Higashino's situation is different. As the signature author of "The Chill", he must be the first, and it is not normal if he is not the first.

Seeing that Dongye Division has a tendency to run out of talents, Yanjiao Publishing House and Mozhu Publishing House have new moves.

After all, the comics of their pillar authors, Ozawada and Sakamoto, respectively received 580 nine votes from readers and 490 one votes from readers, both ranking first in the comic magazines of our publishing house.

As for comics, the results of the first chapter are basically the best, and there are indeed very few comics that can gradually rise and surpass the serialization performance of the first chapter.

They felt that they could overwhelm Higashinoji just by talking about his grades, and even the teacher Sakamoto from the Mozhu Bookstore made a special trip to participate in an offline interview, and some interviewers turned to him and asked him this question.

"May I ask what Sakamoto-sensei thinks about the poor performance of Higashino-sensei's new manga?"

"It can only be said that Mr. Higashino is still a little young, and it is natural that his grades cannot be stabilized."

Sakamoto, who was wearing glasses next to him, replied with a smile: "The previous good results in "Midnight Ring" and "Victor Is Justice" may have dazzled Mr. Higashino. mean."

"The only thing I hope is that the upset results of "Unnatural Death" will not affect Mr. Higashino's results. He is a good competitor. I hope he can recover in the next manga."

"But to be honest, the birth of "Midnight Bell" and "Victor Is Justice" is a miracle in the comics industry. It requires not only strength, but also luck. So it is normal for Mr. Higashino's new work to go downhill The phenomenon."

He said this is actually well-founded. After all, the results of "Midnight Bell" and "Victor Is Justice" are indeed too outrageous. It is not normal for readers to get more than 600 votes each time. It's full, no one can beat it in the same period, it can be regarded as a big peak, so it's normal to leave the peak and start to go downhill.

But Sakamoto said this should have an attitude of regret, but he had a smile on his face, and he didn't look regretful at all, and even a little gloating, which is a bit abnormal.

But this is true. In fact, he was beaten by Higashino Division's "Midnight Bell" and "The Winner Is Justice" in May last year. It can be said that the last one is over, and the next one will be replaced immediately. Come up and hit him hard on the head. His single-volume sales are always suppressed by Dong Yesi, which can be said to be the kind of rubbing under him.

Having been dominated by Higashinoji for two whole seasons, now that he sees that Higashinoji's new work has received mediocre reviews, he will naturally not give up this opportunity, and of course he must speak freely.

In response to Sakamoto's speech, on the other side, some comic review magazines under Yanjiao Publishing House and Mozhu Bookstore also gave feedback in time. The titles are all-"The fall of comic ghosts, on the short-lived glory of Mr. Higashino of Urashima Publishing House" .

People who didn't know thought Higashinoji died on the spot, so they quickly bought a copy and took a look, only to find out that it was about Higashinoji's new manga

But after they read the content, they also felt a little strange, no, I also read Higashino-sensei’s new manga, not to mention how good the plot is, but it can still be read, and it’s very comfortable to read. Was it said that Jiang Lang was exhausted?

But the results are really average.

The signboard of Higashino Division should be the number one in "Aversion to Chill".

As they thought about it, the discussion started to increase, mainly about Higashinoji and "Unnatural Death".

But what everyone didn't expect was that during their discussion, Fuji Publishing House, which had never participated in this fight, actually spoke up.

Kazuya Akasaka, the most famous critic of its comic magazine "Chaojin", first mocked Yanjiao Publishing House and Mozhu Bookstore, saying that their behavior of competing with Higashinoji in the same period is ugly. At the same time, readers should not be too anxious. The opening chapter of Higashino's "Unnatural Death" actually has a lot to watch, but nothing can be seen in the first chapter.The recommendation index is five stars.

The sudden end of Fuji Publishing House was beyond the expectation of Yanjiao Publishing House and Mozhu Bookstore.

But they weren't just beaten. "Chaojin" was looking for a fight, and of course they didn't relax, so they hurriedly released a special episode dedicated to mocking "Chaojin".

They call back and forth.

But only Kazuya Akasaka of "Morning" knows it well.

"How could that Higashino-sensei have no back-up?" Akasaka Kazuya closed "Aversion to Chill", feeling particularly confident about the follow-up of "Unnatural Death".

He has been dominated by Higashino Division too many times.

Whether it's "Midnight Ringer", "The Lonely Gourmet" or "The Winner Is Justice", he can't find any flaws to spray at all. The only thing he wants to say is that there may be some small bugs in the comics, but these small mistakes Basically every manga has it. If he cares about it, it will make people feel unnatural.

This time "Unnatural Death" also gave him a similar feeling - Dong Yesi must have a backhand!

Thinking about it this way, he took the initiative to jump out to support Dong Yesi, and maybe he could gain some of his reputation.

As for the manga reviewers at Yanjiao Publishing House, wait for Higashinoji's manga to come up, and you'll know what it means to be discredited!

"These people don't even know how powerful Higashino's Nemesis is." Akasaka Kazuya put down the manga review magazines from Yanjiao Publishing House and Mozhu Bookstore, and began to wait for the next "Unnatural Death" to unfold.

Although the start was indeed not smooth, but as Higashinoji's former opponent, he knew Higashinoji very well.

It is impossible for the other party to relax so simply.

And on the other side.

Konoe Lianghua was a little uneasy. When she learned that the grades in "Unnatural Death" were mediocre, her little heart seemed to be clenched, and she couldn't speak loudly at all.

Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi were also a little puzzled.

Could it be fan psychology?They feel that "Unnatural Death" is still very good, and the follow-up creates a sense of expectation, and they can continue to watch it.

The three little girls thought about it, and they came to the door together, ready to comfort Dong Yesi.

But just walking to the doorbell, the three of them hesitated.

God knows if Higashino is in a good mood now?If he disturbed so rashly, maybe Higashino would be angry?

You look at me, I look at you, they are all pushing people forward, hoping to push someone to ring the doorbell, but they just push back and forth, and before they have time to say anything, someone has already made a surprised sound Leo: "Why are you all standing outside the door?"

They looked back and found that Hosokawa Koharu was standing not far behind them with a briefcase in his hands.

Hosokawa Koharu and them are actually acquaintances. After all, she has come to Higashino's house many times, so she naturally got to know Konoe Suzuka's trio.

Seeing Hosokawa Koharu, Takahashi Yumi's eyes lit up, because compared to those magazines outside with different opinions, it was Hosokawa Koharu, a figure in the industry, who was more useful.

So she walked up to Xiaochun Hosokawa without hesitation, and asked curiously, "Editor Hosokawa, is Mr. Higashino's "Unnatural Death" really a bad grade?"

The three little girls all looked this way.

"Hehe, have you read the magazines of Yanjiao Publishing House and Mozhu Bookstore?" Hosokawa Xiaochun smiled and shook his head: "Half of what they said is correct, but the other half is somewhat wrong."

The first five episodes of "Unnatural Death" are originally slow-paced, and the pace will only increase higher and higher.

To be honest, at first she thought that the first episode of Higashinoji's "Unnatural Death" could only be ranked after the third place, but she didn't expect that the other party would use hard power to take the second place.

This surprised Hosokawa Koharu, and many editors in the Urashima editorial department also breathed a sigh of relief.

Their expectation is that as long as they don't make it to the bottom five, "Unnatural Death" has a high probability of rising, killing all the way up, and killing Yanjiao Publishing House and Mozhu Bookstore directly.

And Dong Yesi won the second place directly, completely beyond their imagination, which of course surprised them too.

In their view, the rise of "Unnatural Death" is basically a certainty, and the next step is to fast-forward to the stage of beating Yanjiao Publishing House and Mozhu Bookstore black and blue.

Hosokawa Koharu was still analyzing the three of them, while Higashino Division had already opened the door on the other side.

"Why are you all standing outside the door?"

He was a little surprised.

Just now he heard whispering voices outside the door, and when he came out, he found a lot of little girls gathered around the door.

"Uh, it's Lianghua! Lianghua is worried about Teacher Dongye! That's why I want to come and see you!"

Takahashi Yumi raised her hand without hesitation, and directly sold Konoe Suzuka.

In her opinion, Konoe Lianghua is Higashinoji's girlfriend anyway, and they both wear the same pair of pants, so it doesn't matter if they sell them.

Fujiwara Aoi expressed contempt for her behavior, but didn't say anything.

Only Konoe Lianghua was inexplicably pushed out.

She opened her mouth, then lowered her head, and asked Dong Yesi in a low voice and worried: "A Si, are you okay?"

This was the question she had always wanted to ask Higashino, and felt that asking it would make Higashino feel upset. After all, the results of "Unnatural Death" seemed to be a bit bad as the outside world said.

So I didn't say much all the time, I could only watch Higashinoji leave school secretly every day when school was over.

This also caused Jinwei to not think about food or food, and could only eat three bowls in one meal, showing obvious signs of becoming slimmer

"What can I do?" Higashinoji only felt a little funny when he heard Konoe Liangka's question, but he also vaguely guessed the reason why Konoe Liangka asked this question: "The score of "Unnatural Death" has arrived Now it's within my expectations."

"But many comic critics from Yanjiao Publishing House and Mozhu Bookstore are talking about you, Mr. Higashino"

Takahashi Yumi couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

And this also made Dong Yesi a little dumbfounded: "It's okay, I don't care."

He has always had a good attitude, and he really doesn't care much about the public opinion.

If you scold, you can scold. This can be regarded as an outside trick.

So when seeing the authors who issued these statements, Higashino Division will also write down their names in a small notebook calmly and kindly, planning to talk to them about their remarks after "Unnatural Death" becomes popular

Seeing Higashino Si cheerful and in such a good mood, Konoe Lianghua's trio finally felt relieved.

They talked and laughed and entered Higashino's house, hoping to see the next chapter of Higashino Division's "Unnatural Death".

In the midst of all kinds of attention, "Unnatural Death" finally ushered in the second serialization.

The second chapter of "Unnatural Death" has a reversal, and the original inference of the first chapter has been overturned.

It turns out that the horse farm is not the real culprit, all the blame points to the infectious disease in the Middle East, which is extremely contagious, and Takano Shimato has been on a business trip to the Middle East, and he brought the virus into the country!

Once this episode was serialized, the eyes of some readers who were originally optimistic about Higashino Division lit up, and they suddenly felt that the plot seemed to be revitalized, and everything was instantly full of fun.

The number of readers' positive votes for this chapter jumped from 230 one vote to 310 six votes in everyone's eyes.

This violent jump in the number of votes made Sakamoto of the Mozhu Bookstore next door somewhat unable to sit still.

The number of votes for his first episode was 490, which is the highest record so far. The number of votes for the second episode was 480, and the number of votes is slowly decreasing.

Higashino Division did not fall, but grew, which naturally made him a little uneasy.

Wouldn't it be possible that Dong Yesi took the dog's head with a knife?

He couldn't help thinking that.

After all, this is only the second episode. If the quality of the third episode can be maintained, I feel that the word-of-mouth and praise rate of "Unnatural Death" will increase

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.

Because it was an offline interview he accepted before.

If Higashino Division rises, his position will be a little bit wrong.

But he also felt that Higashino Division was a bit evil.

According to the general law of comics, the first chapter should be the best score.

Higashino Division did the opposite, and the word-of-mouth exploded in the second chapter. What is he doing?

He thought about this for a while, and then thought about that for a while, and he felt that his dog head might be a little bit hard to keep.

　Thank you Shun Shun Shun for the reward!Thank you so much!
