Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 322 Painting Level Upgraded (4000 words)
Relying on the assistance of Higashino Chihaya, Konoe Suzuka and other girls, the speed at which Higashino completed the second chapter of "Hansawa Naoki" was not much slower than that of the first chapter.

And Higashino Division also paid something.

For example, Chihaya Higashino likes plush toys, and Tsukasa Higashino bought her a box of plush toys. Although Chihaya Higashino put her hips on her hips, she said, "Asi, do you think my sister is easy to coax?" ’ But in the end, all these gadgets will be accepted.

And these puppet toys were named according to the color type, which seemed very childlike.

It seems childish. No matter how Chihaya Higashino changes, it is still the same as before.
As for Konoe Lianghua, Higashinosi took her directly to the restaurant and filled her up. At least Konoe Liangka couldn't eat at all at that time, so Higashinoji carried her home.

Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi are also quite easy to deal with. Takahashi Yumi wants the surroundings of "Hansawa Naoki", and Fujiwara Aoi wants some study materials for exam preparation
The peripherals of "Naoki Hansawa" that Yumi Takahashi wanted have not yet been produced, so this request can only be put on hold temporarily.

Instead, Higashino bought a box of reference books for Fujiwara Aoi and Takahashi Yumi.

I have to say that learning materials and books in Japan are really expensive. The box of reference books cost Higashinoji hundreds of thousands of yen—even Takahashi Yumi’s parents and Fujiwara Aoi’s parents came to thank Higashinoji.

Originally, they didn't want Dong Yesi to spend so much money, and wanted to pay back the money, but Dong Yesi didn't care.

This amount of money was no longer a big deal to him.

Just because he doesn't care doesn't mean Takahashi Yumi doesn't care.

Takahashi Yumi was dumbfounded when she looked at the box of 'study materials'.

The gap between this and the surroundings of "Hansawa Naoki" comics she imagined was too big, and she couldn't accept it at all.

Compared to Fujiwara Aoi, she has always hated studying, and she has always aspired to enter university as a master of kendo.

"Teacher Higashino..." Takahashi Yumi looked at Higashino with a sad face.

"Of course the people who promised you will give it to you, but Yumi, it's about time for you to study. Although Yumi has already won the status of a master of kendo, you have to pay attention to the written test."

Higashino added cheerfully.

Yes.

During the time when Higashinoji was obsessed with drawing manga, Konoe Lianghua, Takahashi Yumi and the others were about to enter the exam preparation stage.

Higashino Chihaya, Konoe Suzuka, Takahashi Yumi, Fujiwara Aoi, all of them are college aspirations and want to enter university.

Usually, while they are helping Higashino, they basically meet for a study session, instead of playing games, chatting, and reading comics at Higashino's house as before.

This can be regarded as letting Higashino feel the tense atmosphere of Japanese high school students preparing for the exam.

It is said that Fujiwara Aoi, Konoe Suzuka, and Higashino Chihaya are going to enroll in the same cram school after entering the third year of high school. Maybe Higashinoji will pick them up at night.

Japan's self-proclaimed happy education. Higashino Division has not seen it at all, and the pressure is [-]-[-] the same as that of the Chinese candidates.

But these are the troubles of candidates.

As Fujiwara Aoi said, it seems that the students at Beiyijuku who are ready to find a job after graduating from high school are almost crazy now, and they have basically never seen them study.

There is still a gap between people.

Hosokawa Koharu and the others held meetings repeatedly, planning their plans for next week, trying to squeeze out their mortal enemy "Chiyo", and beat them to the ground with Higashinoji's "Hansawa Naoki".

"Chiyo" magazine was not to be outdone, after repeated discussions, it was decided to set the release date for next Friday, determined to have another confrontation with "Heshi".

You were able to win the first prize with "Hansawa Naoki" for the first time, but this second time will not let you succeed again.

Both sides are sharpening their knives, but Dong Yesi's life is smooth.

That is, in such a half-full and half-busy time, a week passed quickly.

The second chapter of "Hansawa Naoki" by Higashino Division is also serialized on "Heshi" as scheduled——

When they saw the number of serialized pages of "Hansawa Naoki" on "Heshi", everyone couldn't help opening their mouths, surprised!
Really surprised.

"Hansawa Naoki" is actually a [-]-page serial, in other words, Higashino Tsukasa occupies two manga slots!

Especially the manga editorial department of Xinyanzhu Publishing House.

"Fifty pages of serialization? What's going on here?"

Many editors took this week's "He Shi" and counted it carefully.

It doesn't matter how they count.

"Hansawa Naoki" is still a full fifty pages, not much has changed.

This made them really scratch their heads.

You must know that the comics serialized in traditional weekly magazines are only more than 20 pages per episode, and the serialized monthly magazines are only [-] pages long.
Why is it that Higashino Division's weekly serialization directly uploads [-] pages?

Is it really a humanoid printer?
It can't be that the editor counted the wrong number of pages, and mistakenly posted 23 pages of comics as [-] pages, right?
This matter is indeed very new, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first time the editors have encountered it.

Not to mention the hostile Fushima Publishing House that happened to their New Iwazuki Publishing House.

However, as the newly appointed editor-in-chief Seo, he couldn't help but frowned. There was really nothing he could do about the other party's trick.

This is indeed a trick of Fushima Publishing House to jump over the wall in a hurry.

Fushima Publishing House knows very well that their comic works do not have any advantage in terms of quantity.

The manga magazine "Chiyo" has too many experienced manga authors to serialize.

So Fushima Publishing House has seriously considered the advantage of 'quality'.

Their quality advantage naturally comes from "Hansawa Naoki". Among the manga magazines "Chiyo", none of the manga magazines can be the opponent of Higashinoji's "Hansawa Naoki".

Therefore, if the serialization of "Naoki Hansawa" is increased, it will definitely attract the attention of a large number of readers.

It's just that, at best, it's a desperate situation, but at worst, it's actually jumping over the wall in a hurry.

Because it's just too hard to keep a fifty-page weekly magazine running.

The workload has doubled directly, unless Higashinoji is a ruthless printer, otherwise it is impossible for him to update it so perfectly.

You know, in addition to "Naoki Hansawa", Higashino also has a long manga called "The Lonely Gourmet" that has been serialized for two years and needs to be serialized in the monthly magazine "Aoba".

Thinking of this, Editor-in-Chief Seo calmly greeted the following editors:
"Don't worry about it. Even if the quantity increases, the quality cannot keep up. You must know that "Naoki Hansawa" is a manga known for its high-quality paintings and plot quality."

The editors of Xinyanzhu Publishing House also nodded after hearing this.

As the editor-in-chief Seo said, even if Fushima Press puts effort into the quantity, if the quality cannot keep up, it will be useless.

"That's right! The fifty-page manga serialization is just a way for Fushima Publishing to scare people!"

"There's nothing to worry about!"

"We won this time."

They discussed one after another.

But at this moment, an editor couldn't help but interjected: "That's what I said, but haven't we watched this week's "Hansawa Naoki"?"

This sentence can be regarded as a pain in the feet of the editors who spoke just now.

Yes.

They haven't confirmed the quality of this week's "Naoki Hansawa" with their own eyes.

The comic magazine "Heshi" was placed in front of them, but they always felt dazed and dared not open it.
What if Higashinoji maintains the quality?

What if our family's comics are hanged again this week?
Just thinking of these possibilities, few editors of Xinyanzhu Publishing House are willing to take the initiative to open "He Shi".

"Let me take a look." Editor-in-Chief Seo calmly took "Heshi" into his hand, and then glanced at the editor below.

"Let me say something first, even if the quality of Mr. Higashino's "Hansawa Naoki" is maintained, we still don't lose heart. At most, it will be the second failure. The third or fourth time, we will definitely be able to win. of."

This sentence was said by the editor-in-chief Seo from the heart.

He has always been a person with a very positive energy temperament.

Don't give up, be patient, persevering, and earnest. Even if you encounter temporary setbacks, you can stand up quickly.

If it is placed in other novels or comics, maybe the editor-in-chief Seo is the protagonist's life.

Similarly, editor-in-chief Seo didn't believe that Fushima Publishing House could really eat all the world's delicacies with a single "Naoki Hansawa" and beat all their magazines to death with one stick.

but
Believe it or not.

Editor-in-Chief Seo still opened the "Heshi" in his hand, and glanced at the contents.

then
He couldn't help being silent.

Because he found out.

Whether it's the quality or plot of "Hansawa Naoki", Higashinoji has kept everything.

printing press.
Although the editor-in-chief Seo was mentally prepared, seeing that "Naoki Hansawa" hadn't dropped in the slightest, the word came to mind.

It is indeed a 'printing machine', otherwise how could it be possible?
It doesn't make sense.

Not scientific.

He muttered softly in his heart, and soon noticed that the editors under him seemed to be paying attention to this direction.

So the editor-in-chief Seo put down the "Heshi" in his hand, his face was very calm, and he couldn't see any panic and said:

"This week's "Naoki Hansawa" is very good-looking. The quality of the painting and the plot have not declined. Mr. Higashino is indeed an amazing manga author."

He complimented very pertinently.

Calm and steady.

As the editor-in-chief's aura, Seo is just right.

Even the editors below relaxed a lot when they saw his calm and calm attitude.

The editor-in-chief Seo at the top was also a little relieved to see that the atmosphere did not continue to deteriorate and become decadent.

Anyway, he still stabilized.

Without letting Dong Yesi beat the morale on their side again.

but
How to solve "Naoki Hansawa"?

Editor-in-Chief Seo really has a headache.

As I said before, Fushima Publishing House was in a hurry and came up with a particularly sinister trick.

But in the face of this insidious trick.
He found that he couldn't come up with any good cards to parry.

If "Chiyo" can have a manga that is equal to "Hansawa Naoki". No. Even if it is slightly inferior.

Editor-in-Chief Seo felt that he still had a way to suppress "Naoki Hansawa".

It's a big deal to open a fifty-page serial here.

But let's not say less.

Most of the manga works in "Chiyo" are 'inferior' to "Naoki Hansawa" by a few notches, and it is hard to compare.

Even if it is their most popular "Research and Search Team", it is also a comic imitating "Unnatural Death".

Take the counterfeit to fight the real master Dongyesi?
This is too much of a joke.

So Editor-in-Chief Seo has a bit of a headache.

But in front of the editors below, he couldn't show it well, so he could only continue to maintain his editor-in-chief's calm appearance, saying that there was no problem at all, as long as he continued like this, he would be able to defeat "Naoki Hansawa".

Let's keep going!try harder!

And at the same time as the editorial department of Xinyanzhu Publishing House was having a meeting.

Fushima Publishing House is not idle either.

As soon as Hosokawa Koharu got the form of readers' positive votes, he called Higashino Division and reported the current situation to him.

The second episode of "Hansawa Naoki" had a new high in the number of readers' positive votes, breaking the record of the first episode, and scored 868 votes.

This result made many editors feel relieved that the serialization of [-] pages a week.

They originally thought that the serialization volume of fifty pages a week was too astonishing, and Higashinoji might not be able to complete it with both quality and quantity.

But the number of positive votes now means that all their previous worries were unnecessary.

Higashino Division can withstand such serial pressure, and also maintain quality and quantity.
It is indeed a well-known printing machine in the industry!admire!admire!
On the other hand, when hearing this result, Higashino Division actually sighed a little.

The foundation of the first episode of "Hansawa Naoki" is really good, and his second episode is also at a high level, but he only surpassed the first episode by 3 votes.

It can be seen that it is really difficult to surpass his previous record casually, and to make another big distance.

However, there will be motivation only when there are challenges. Higashino's current goal is no longer simply to get more than 810 votes.

His goal is more than 900 votes.

That field has never been reached by anyone. Even Higashino has never heard of a record in 2020 where someone can win 900 favorable votes (90% of readers' preference).

After all, there are Gang Jing and Keyboard Man no matter what era it is, it is really impossible to achieve a 90% favorable rate.

But that's just not likely.

Now this 2004 is the best era of Japanese paper media, Higashino still has the opportunity to challenge that field.

Later, when the network continued to develop, it would be really difficult for Higashino to challenge for another 900 votes of praise.

In addition to challenging the 900 votes of readers' positive votes.

Similarly, another thing that caught Higashino's attention also happened.

His system suddenly alerted a message, which surprised Dongyesi a little.

Painting level has been upgraded.
　Thanks to Xiangfei and Liheng, Knight Ayer, Zhifeifei i, Yuanfen Qiansheng, Pitaya Nova, and An Feng who read books for their rewards!Thank you so much!
