Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 315 This Is Too Pretty (8000 words)
Whether it is Fushima Publishing House or Xinyanzhu Publishing House, they are all full of publicity for the first issue of their new publication.

Some bookstore owners who know the inside story (most bookstores in Japan have a cooperative relationship with the sales department of the publishing house) also put the two comic magazines "Heshi" and "Chiyo" high in order to highlight the contrast between the two publishing houses. Put the tall ones together.

Visually show who sells well and who sells poorly.

This has exacerbated the friction between the two publishers.

Especially the employees of the sales department of Fushima Publishing House and Xinyanzhu Publishing House, one or two were eager to swallow the salesman opposite them into their stomachs.

Once this fight has started there is no turning back.

but
"Is it still a game of chess?"

Seeing the comparison between the sales, the editor-in-chief Urashima frowned.

Although they have vigorously promoted Higashinoji, they still lost a little bit of the wind in the first wave of purchases in the face of the siege and interception of many authors from Xinyanzhu Publishing House.

But this is also impossible.

This first wave of complete competition is the number of fans.

The total number of fans of Higashinoji alone is indeed not comparable to the total number of fans of the 22 well-known comic works opposite.

But the second wave, the third wave is different.

When someone watches "Hansawa Naoki" and word-of-mouth begins to ferment, maybe "Heshi" will be able to break through the siege and overthrow "Chiyo".

"Now we can only watch the follow-up development of Mr. Higashino's "Naoki Hansawa"?"

Editor-in-chief Urashima held his breath and did not panic, just waiting for the result later.

Fudao Publishing House temporarily calmed down, and Xinyanzhu Publishing House did not let down its vigilance.

You must know that they moved out the most luxurious lineup of comic book authors in history this time, and they haven't widened the gap by a large margin. In a sense, it is considered a failure.

And they also had the experience of opening champagne to celebrate at halftime of "Unnatural Death", but they were beaten mercilessly. Naturally, at this time, everyone was calm and dignified.

But what comforts them is that Fushima Publishing House's "Heshi" still has a long way to go to catch up.

"The next step is to stabilize the current situation and widen the gap with the opponent!"

The editor-in-chief above said hello.

This time, Xinyanzhu Publishing House paid a lot of money. When buying the new magazine, it also gave a small peripheral as a gift, which increased a lot of consumption.

If you still haven't beaten the opponent, you will lose a lot in the end.

"Now we have surrounded Higashino-sensei and his work "Hansawa Naoki"! Next, as long as we work together! We can defeat Fushima Publishing House! Beat "Hansawa Naoki"! Come on!"

The following editors were also refreshed after hearing this.

When Higashino Division was at Urashima Publishing House, he was always their demon.

Now is the chance to defeat the demons!Of course they couldn't be more relaxed!

So the editorial department responded in unison.

Aside from the different atmospheres of the two major publishing houses, there is another scene next to the major bookstores in Japan.

In order to buy the weekly magazine that just came out today, Kanzaki Hiroshi deliberately got off work and asked a senior in his workplace to handle the remaining affairs.

As a diehard fan of Higashinoji, he really wanted to see what Higashinoji's new comic "Naoki Hansawa" looked like.

but--

"Is this too exaggerated?"

Looking at the long queue in front of the bookstore, Kanzaki Hiroshi couldn't help swallowing.

It was already afternoon when he clocked out early.

However, the flow of people still did not mean to decrease.

Just now he saw a clerk pushing two carts of comic magazines into the bookstore.
But it's normal to think about it the other way around.

After all, both "Heshi" and "Chiyo" are just published and have a collection value. If these two publications become popular in the future, the second-hand manga magazines of this first issue can still be sold on the Internet for a good price .

In any case, they can make a steady profit without losing money, so there is such a grand occasion in front of the bookstore.

There was no other way, Kanzaki Hiroshi could only go to the convenience store next door and bought two rice balls, and began to wait in line while eating the rice balls.

He waited outside the bookstore for about 45 minutes. After a long line of rotation, it was finally his turn.

"Hello, please give me two weekly magazines, Heshi."

Kanzaki Hiroshi immediately spoke.

As a die-hard fan of Higashino Division, of course he would not act as an adversary. After all, the news of the fight between "He Shi" and "Chiyo" this time has gone crazy on the comic forum.

After he got the two copies of "Heshi", he saw the serious expression of Naoki Hansawa staring at something with half of his body exposed on them, and he couldn't put it down.

This painting skill is really worthy of Mr. Dongye.

He heard some people in the forum say that Higashino had prepared too hastily this time, and that the quality of the work might decline, so he was still a little worried.

But looking at the quality of the cover now, there should be no need to worry about it.

He put the two copies of "He Shi" in his briefcase, then turned and left.

In fact, it didn’t take long to get from this bookstore to his home. About ten minutes later, Kanzaki Hiroshi opened the door of his apartment, made another dinner for himself, took a bath after eating, and tried to adjust his body and mind to One of the best conditions to watch Higashinoji's comics-full of ritual.

Don't think that his way of acting is exaggerated, you must know that there are lessons learned from the past.

Some time ago, he watched "The Lonely Gourmet" in the middle of the night and almost starved to death in bed.

Since then, when he reads Higashinoji's comics, he must bring his own tissue to wipe his tears, snacks to fill his stomach, and a small sandbag to vent when he sees excitement.

The newly printed manga magazine has an indescribable ink smell, coupled with the exquisite cover, this makes Hiroshi Kanzaki look forward to it even more.

"It is said that this is a workplace cartoon. Can it be as good as "Unnatural Death"?"

Kanzaki Hiroshi stretched out his palm and opened the manga magazine directly.

The first page of the comic is a line of words written by Higashino Division with exaggerated strokes - the credit of the subordinates belongs to the boss, and the mistakes of the boss are borne by the subordinates.

Seeing this line of words, Kanzaki Hiroshi opened his mouth, and an indescribable feeling accumulated in his heart.

He is also an office worker, and he is also a programming dog, so he is really touched by this sentence.

The achievements of their department are basically the credit of the ministers. At most, they can be praised symbolically. If the results are not delivered on time, or the results are unsatisfactory, the ministers will blame their team for the fault.

However, Kanzaki Hiroshi was lucky. Every time he bowed and apologized, it was their team leader—a middle-aged man with half-white hair in his 40s who went up to admit his mistakes.

So Kanzaki Hiroshi couldn't help sighing, he was really touched by this sentence.

He glanced at the cover image.

The edge of the strokes of this line of characters is raised upwards, and there is a feeling of not wanting to give in. At the same time, it is the downcast back of the male protagonist on the cover wearing a professional jacket.

Up to here, the atmosphere is quite relaxed.

Until Hiro Kanzaki saw the next page, he was immediately attracted by the tense workplace atmosphere.

"Banze! It's all your fault! The [-] million financing was in vain! How should you deal with this result! Banze!"

"Give me the domo seat! Apologies to Asano Branch Manager!"

The atmosphere in the staff room of the bank was tense. The Osaka Nishi branch had just been defrauded of a loan of [-] million yen, and the debtor Higashida Mitsuru could not be found. The vice president of Osaka Nishi could only vent his anger on the innocent Naoki Hansawa .

He had sensed that something was wrong long before the financing, so he has always opposed the financing, but he really couldn't resist the stubbornness of the head of the Asano branch, so he released [-] million yen.
The story is drawn by Dong Yesi with concise and clear strokes.

The storyboard, as well as the profile of Naoki Hansawa's "strength" expression, are perfect.

Let Kanzaki Hiroshi completely immerse himself in the world of "Hansawa Naoki".

When Naoki Hansawa was forcibly pressed to the ground, Hiro Kanzaki was very angry.

He saw his own shadow in Naoki Hansawa. They are also office workers and wage earners. They are powerless to resist their bosses.

But when Hanzawa Naoki gritted his teeth and stood up with gloomy eyes, Kanzaki Hiroshi was very touched again.
Yes.

He was moved.

It is really admirable that Naoki Hansawa can stick to his position so much.

Japan has always been a country that emphasizes the relationship between superiors and subordinates. No matter what era you are in or what club you work in, as long as you are a salaryman, you will have no power to stand up in front of your boss.

This is also reflected in the family.

For example, if Kanzaki Hiroshi met their minister's family while traveling, he would even take the initiative to go up to condolences, and if necessary, he would also need to spend money to buy some small gifts for the other family.

Because he is a rookie in the workplace.

You can't fight back when you hit, and you can't fight back when you scold. You have to be patient, and you have to be patient even if you grit your teeth.

To be honest, Kanzaki Hiroshi has always been rarely affected by foreign objects.

But Higashinoji's comics always seemed to have a magical power, which made him think of his own situation in the club.

In this kind of messy thoughts, the only thing that resonates with him is——

"Hansawa Naoki" is indeed a good manga!

The plot, painting, and storyboarding can all be called perfect!

Among them, the real and tense atmosphere in the workplace overwhelmed Kanzaki Hiroshi.

Especially when Hanzawa Naoki and Asano Branch Manager finally confronted each other at the streetlight downstairs of the apartment building, it really made him feel so heavy and depressed that he was suffocated.

"Hansawa, you have no way out. Unless you recover the [-] million yen loan."

"If I recover the loan, I want you to kowtow to me and admit my mistake!"

"That depends on whether you have the ability!"

"It's really down and out! Banze!"

The sneering voice of Branch Manager Asano made Kanzaki Hiroshi feel a pain in his heart.

He was just a bystander, and he felt that this branch manager Asano was so annoying.

But Naoki Hansawa, who was the person involved, just paused, without even looking at the boss behind him, and left resolutely from his back.

This is the practice of a mature professional.

It's not noisy, it doesn't mean to play tricks.

But his actions and words made Kanzaki Hiroshi feel an indescribable excitement.

Dogeza. And it's the boss doing this to his subordinates
This is the standard 'down gram up'!

Indomitable, challenge your boss with a weak body.
Kanzaki Hiroshi took a deep breath.

In his opinion, Naoki Hansawa is undoubtedly a good subordinate, not only eloquent, but also good at grasping the psychology of others.

The most important thing is that he didn't have many rebuttals to his boss's unreasonable task, so he did it in silence.

But even though he has been so benevolent and righteous, the branch manager Asano still wants to push Naoki Hansawa as a scapegoat
This made Kanzaki Hiro feel extremely worthless for Naoki Hansawa, but also touched by his ability to stick to his beliefs and never take a step back.

At the end of the "Naoki Hansawa" manga, the back of Naoki Hansawa was shrouded in a thick night, as if an invisible hand pulled him into the abyss.

Chapter one!Finish!

After reading this episode, Kanzaki Hiroshi felt inexplicably excited.

He even had the urge to imitate Naoki Hansawa and take out his mobile phone to scold his immediate boss.

But he stopped halfway through touching the phone, and gasped instead.

Cough cough cough. If you really scolded the minister, among other things, whether you can keep this job is a problem. Why are you so impulsive?
Even if "Hansawa Naoki" is really exciting, it shouldn't do such a thing.

He hastily put down the phone, forcing down the throbbing in his heart.

No, absolutely do not make this call.

It's a very complicated mood.

Naoki Hansawa is the ideal form of working-class people like them, but at the same time, he is a little scared.
After all, he can't really stand up to the [-] million yen mistake like Naoki Hansawa in the manga, talking and laughing happily.

After suppressing the impulse, Kanzaki Hiroshi thought again and reached out to flip through the manga "Hansawa Naoki".

He's going to start over. Look back.
Kanzaki Hiroshi has already read it again, and on the other side, Takahashi Yumi, Fujiwara Aoi, Konoe Suzuka and the others are confused by Higashino Tsukasa's bold painting method.

This is well drawn.
"It's so pretty!"

Takahashi Yumi opened her mouth.

She has always disliked the intrigue in professional dramas.

But "Hansawa Naoki" felt completely different to her.

To her, Naoki Hansawa is like a warrior hero in a hot-blooded manga, charging forward fearlessly-it's like watching a hot-blooded manga that makes people's blood boil.

Likewise, they gained a new understanding of the pressures of the Japanese adult workplace.

No matter the credit of the boss or the fault of the subordinates, they couldn't help shrinking their heads and shrinking their heads, feeling a dry mouth.

Even a little rich woman like Konoe Lianghua, who was born as a master, felt the pressure inexplicably.

Is this the adult world?
Is the world of adults so cruel?

Can we not grow up and just be high school girls?

That's what they think.

In fact, this can be regarded as their overthinking. The real workplace in Japan is indeed very stressful, but it is not to the point where [-] million yen is at fault at every turn.

If there were really so many 'Hansawa Naoki', the Bank of Japan would have been wiped out by 'Xia Ke Shang' long ago.

In addition to the pressure of the adult workplace.

They are all over their heads.
Hold Dong Yesi down quickly.

Let him draw the next sentence.

because
This is too pretty, right?
