Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 314 The Battle Begins! (4000 words)
"Is that so? Editor Hosokawa, but are you sure you don't think about it?"

Editor-in-chief Urashima listened to Koharu Hosokawa's answer over there.

"Yes, Editor-in-Chief Urashima."

Hosokawa Koharu over there said very firmly: "Mr. Higashino thinks that "Naoki Hansawa" will definitely reach the top. Although my strength is insignificant, I still choose to trust Mr. Higashino and want to help him a little."

".Since this is the case, then I understand. I will re-recommend an editor to be the editor-in-chief of "Aversion to Cold". Editor Hosokawa, you can continue to be in charge of Mr. Higashino."

The editor-in-chief Urashima here did not continue to persuade.

Although he still felt that Hosokawa Koharu's decision was a bit rash.

After all, this opportunity can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity no matter which publishing house editor is concerned.

But speaking of it, it still surprised him that Hosokawa Koharu believed in Higashino Division so much.

After hanging up the phone, Hosokawa Koharu let out a little breath.

She couldn't help shaking her head first, then glanced at the manuscript at hand, took a deep breath, and covered her face.

"Ah, I really want to be the editor-in-chief."

She let out a scream in a half-groan.

but
"Since you have given up, you don't have to think so much."

Hosokawa Koharu put his hand down.

That's right, I have already decided to follow Higashinoji to witness the next road of "Hansawa Naoki", so what else is there to think too much about?

She took another serious look at the original manuscript of "Hansawa Naoki" and said, "We still have to work harder."

She muttered to herself in a low voice.

I just don't know if I'm encouraging myself, or cheering for Higashinoji.
Hosokawa Koharu cheered up again and drove to Fushima Publishing House.

Now that the manuscript has been obtained, how to use it to defeat "Chiyo". That's the job of their editorial department.

In this way, another two days passed.

Occasionally looking through the situation of Fushima Publishing House, Higashino Division discovered a new notice issued on its official website.

Following the new Yanzhu Publishing House, Fushima Publishing House also launched a new manga magazine "Heshi".

Below this notice is the cover of "He Shi".

Different from the eerie cover of the previous "Bad Chill", the newly released "He Shi" has a sense of seriousness and heaviness.

On the cover of the comic magazine, there is a close-up of a man with his upper body exposed. This man is wearing a formal suit, showing a young side face, with a very serious expression.

At the bottom of the cover are four neat characters - "Naoki Hansawa".

"Hansawa Naoki" Higashinoji used the artistic font in the TV series in his previous life, which looks square and powerful.

Next to Naoki Hansawa, there are information about the works of other manga authors.
It has to be said that Fushima Publishing House has indeed given Higashinoji the national treatment. The half-length profile of "Hansawa Naoki" alone occupies two-thirds of the entire cover area, which is almost squeezed out by other comic authors. There is no place to put the title of the work.

Higashino couldn't help but frowned when he saw it, thinking that the editor-in-chief of Fushima Publishing House was too courageous.

Although it is to give Higashinoji a chance to perform as a general, this is too much, and he doesn't care what other comic authors think.

Even the readers in the comment section below complained.

"I really like Higashino-san's works, but this time the close-ups of Higashino-san's works are too big, right? The titles of other works have been squeezed to both sides, and Fushima Publishing House really values ​​Higashino-sensei?"

Even the title of Higashinoji's work "Naoki Hansawa" is much bigger than the introduction of other works.

"Isn't this nonsense? "Heshi" is going to head-to-head with "Chiyo" from Xinyanzhu Publishing House this time. It's full of gunpowder. From this point of view, Mr. Higashino has been used as a gun."

""Hansawa Naoki" I think this cover is really good, Higashino-san's artist is online! It's just that being stared at by the male protagonist in the cover feels inexplicably cold."

"It feels like a workplace cartoon? I'm looking forward to it. I'm also an office worker. I don't know what surprises Mr. Higashino can bring us."

There is a lot of discussion below the comment area, and most of them are positive comments.

Dong Yesi felt that there was nothing to be complacent about.

Because fans' evaluations have always been one-sided, and the quality of Higashino's works has never disappointed them, and has accumulated a good reputation over time.

But just a good word of mouth is not very useful.

The key is the follow-up readers' favorable survey and the sales volume of the booklet. This is the most important thing.

As for those readers who leave a message below, saying that they are also office workers.
Higashino could only cough twice, hoping that they would not lose their jobs because of "Naoki Hansawa".
If they lost their jobs he might, probably, might be one in ten thousand to blame.

Although it was only a ten-thousandth of the responsibility, Higashino still hoped that they wouldn't get mad after reading the manga, and get involved with their workplace bosses.

Thinking of this, Higashinoji closed the official website of Fushima Publishing House, and started browsing the official website of Shiniwazuki Publishing House instead.

The content of the announcement here is actually similar to that of Fushima Publishing House. It is also an introduction of his new manga magazine "Chiyo".

The only difference is that the magazine cover of "Chiyo" did not only promote one of Higashino's main comics like Fushima Publishing House did.

What they focus on here seems to be a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending.

Even the slogan is - what?No main comics?No!All of our comics are flagship comics!
Under the cover of the magazine are the pen names of the authors of each Taizhuzi cartoon.

This made Higashinoji also understand why Xinyanzhu Publishing House has a rich heritage.
In terms of this dense list of pillar authors alone, it is no wonder that Osawa Hekichi and the others are not confident in competing.

Among the 22 comics serialized in "Chiyo", about 80 of them are works of the pillar level. The first [-] comics are basically industry leaders with an average volume sales of [-] million copies.

Especially for the first five works, the average volume sales volume is about 100 million copies, and the serialization time of the works is basically more than ten years.

And the last three are not weak at all, they are all well-known excellent newcomers, and the average sales volume of 60 million volumes is still no problem.

All comics are the main comics. This sentence is really not just nonsense.

The lineup can also be said to be very luxurious.

It is no wonder that Xinyanzhu Publishing House is full of confidence, and feels that even if Higashino is not poached, Fushima Publishing House's "Heshi" cannot compete with them.

It is estimated that in their opinion, no matter how powerful Higashinoji is alone, can he still withstand the righteous gang fights of such a large number of authors?
After all, the serialized works on "Thousand Generations" are not only the number of works, but also the quality of the works.

Readers in the comments section below were of course surprised when they saw this luxurious lineup.

This lineup of authors is too terrifying.

Many people also expressed that they would definitely buy a copy during the publication period-even if it is a souvenir, it is not a loss.

After all, this is the first issue, so it has commemorative value.

After reading some comments, Dongyesi closed the webpage, raising his eyebrows.

It's really not easy
Among other things, this evaluation is quite polarized.

Fushima Publishing House mainly commented on "Hansawa Naoki" by Higashinoji alone, while "Chiyo" here has fans of various works, and the fan base is very wide.

The background gap is indeed a bit big.

But Higashino was not too worried.

He has confidence in the knife "Naoki Hansawa".

"Is the release date of both magazines on this Friday?"

Dong Yesi sighed.

This is about the same as the previous "Aversion to Chill". The release date of the previous "Aversion to Chill" was on Friday at the earliest and Monday next week at the latest.

At this time of release, it seems that both parties want to touch each other, and there is no feeling of wanting to hide at all.

"This Friday is two days away"

Tonoji muttered to himself.

He briefly counted the time, and finally nodded, not caring any more.

During Higashino Division's "observation of the enemy's situation", on the other side, the manga authors of the old Fuji Publishing House hosted a dinner.

They also just saw the cover of Fushima Publishing House's new issue "Heshi" today.

In particular, the cover of Dong Yesi's work suppressed all of them.

it's simple
So they, a group of authors who used to draw comics at Fuji Publishing House, gathered and held a dinner party to express their thoughts on "Heshi" magazine.

The topics discussed by the manga authors of the old Fuji Publishing House were very simple. The main reason was that the editors of Fushima Publishing House were too partial to Higashino Division.

And Nagayasu Hojo is one of them, he is the one who was commented that the overall introduction of the manga is not as big as the title of "Hansawa Naoki" by Higashinoji. 'The manga author.

This matter made him feel very uncomfortable. After all, the author of his comics is also a human being, and as long as he is a human being, of course he has selfish intentions.

Although he knew that there was a gap between him and Higashinoji, he shouldn't be treated like this, right?

So he came to this place to vent.

At this time, Nagayasu Hojo had finished talking with several friends and authors. As soon as he stood up, he saw a female figure who was holding a sketchbook, drawing while walking, and was about to leave.

After seeing clearly who the other party was, Changyasu Hojo blinked, and reached out his hand to say hello: "Mr. Suzuki? What's the matter? Are you planning to leave now?"

The female figure in front of her is Suzuki Yu, the former pillar of Fuji Publishing House. After she was dug into Fuji Publishing House by Furuta Shinji, she is now back.

At this moment, I heard Changyasu Hojo say hello.Suzuki Ha also looked away from the sketchbook, turned to look at Hojo Naruyasu, and after a while, he responded with an 'hmm'.

Hearing that Suzuki Hama was going to leave, Choyasu Hojo was also taken aback.

Because as the pillar of the front desk, she is basically an existence that is held in the hands of Fuji Publishing House and is afraid of being melted. Now the introduction of her works is also pushed aside by Higashinoji. Could it be that she has no ideas?

"I have no idea."

Suzuki Yu seemed to understand Hojo Changyasu's thoughts, and said calmly: "My strength is not as strong as Higashino-sensei, so I was brushed down, it's as simple as that."

"Well, that's what it says."

Hojo Changyasu opened his mouth.

"Or does Mr. Hojo feel that his work can be compared to Mr. Higashino's "Naoki Hansawa"?"

Suzuki Yu asked calmly.

"." Changyasu Hojo.

He still knows whether it can be compared to this point. Dongyesi probably draws with his left hand, and the things he draws are better than him, right?After all, everyone in the industry knows that Higashino has the ability to fight left and right.

"Since it is not as good as it is, this kind of result is natural. There is nothing to be reconciled to."

Suzuki Yu's voice was not loud, but when he said it, the old authors of Fuji Publishing House who were still complaining just now slowly shut their mouths.

Indeed.
You can't come up with works that can beat Higashinoji, and you have to babble here. This is meaningless at all.

"Does Suzuki-sensei think Higashino-sensei can beat the exaggerated combination of "Chiyo"?"

Hojo Changyasu couldn't help asking back.

To be honest, when he saw the lineup of manga writers thrown out by Xinyanzhu Publishing House today, he almost lost his breath.

Is this a head shot?

It's like a traditional Japanese RPG game, where the brave fights the devil, and behind the devil there are four heavenly kings who give experience
But this time is obviously different. There are no four heavenly kings who give experience, and all the opponents are demon kings. How do you fight?Hit it with your head?
Facing Hojo Changyasu's question, Suzuki Yu just shook his head: "I think Higashino-sensei can do it."

Uh.
Hojo Changyasu was a little bit speechless by these words.

How confident should Suzuki Yu be in Higashino Division?
Do you think Higashinoji is okay?

To use an inappropriate analogy, it is like your manga is competing with "Hokage" and "Pirate". It is difficult and difficult.

The other comic authors were also a little speechless, but they didn't know how to refute.

After all, Suzuki Yu in front of them had the best grades among them, even if they wanted to refute, they didn't have the confidence to refute.

And Suzuki Yu's vision for reading comics has always been top-notch.

She has predicted the results of manga serialization many times, and basically there are no mistakes.

Even Shinji Gutian praised her vision.

If she even said that, it would be a bit uncertain.

Seeing that they stopped talking, Suzuki Yu bowed slightly to Choyasu Hojo and the others, and left holding the sketchbook in his hand.

Only a group of manga writers from the old Fuji Publishing House were left behind, looking at each other.

Even now, they don't understand why Suzuki Yu is so confident.

Of course, Higashino Division on the other side doesn't know what the author of the old Fuji Publishing House thinks.

But it is estimated that even if he knew, he just smiled and passed.

Really nothing to care about.

What he should focus on should be the current situation of "He Shi".

Whether "Hansawa Naoki" can gain momentum has affected his way of establishing a web comic platform to some extent.
That is, in various views.

"Heshi" by Tomishima Publishing House and "Chiyo" by Shiniwazuki Publishing House finally entered convenience stores and bookstores across the country on Friday.

The general's war against a group of demon kings has officially begun!
