Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 39 Readers' Rating Ranked Second!

After Higashinoji, Konoe Lianghua and the others waited for a few minutes, a few girls rushed over, and everyone was ready.

Okano Yoshiko counted the number of people and found that the student was absent, so she took a group of students to the museum area.

Admission to the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum does not require a ticket fee, only when you go to a certain exhibition area will you need to pay the ticket fee.

But to be honest, this kind of ticket fee is not expensive, plus the student ticket price, it only costs two to three hundred yen for each person to enter the exhibition.

Yoshiko Okano announced the assembly time and location outside the hall, and then organized a group of students to enter one of the exhibition halls.

Higashinoji and Konoe Suzuka were naturally also mixed in the crowd.

As soon as he entered the museum, Higashino relaxed.

There is no way, it was too hot outside just now, and Japan itself is an island country, the air humidity is high, just staying outside for a while, Higashinoji can feel hot and humid on his body, very uncomfortable.

"Student Higashino, would you like to visit the exhibition area with us?" Madoka Fukushima, who was next to him, sent out the invitation in a timely manner, with a little anticipation on his childish face with light makeup.

"I'm sorry, Fukushima-senpai." Higashinosi lowered his head and apologized: "I want to go to the art store over there to take a look, and I will come back to visit later."

"Is there anything you want to buy?" Madoka Fukushima asked curiously.

Higashinoji shook his head, leaned closer and said to her in a low voice: "I only told Fukushima-senpai about this, I want to be lazy. I was a little tired after standing outside for so long just now."

As he spoke, Higashino Division smiled and nodded at her with an expression of 'I hope you can keep it a secret'.

High school girls are pretty naive.

Hearing Higashinoji's words with a little secret, "I'll only tell you about this", Madoka Fukushima also showed a smile on his face:

"I see, I will keep it a secret, Higashino-san."

Watching Madoka Fukushima and the others leave, Higashino took a breath, turned and left.

In fact, he didn't intend to be lazy, but planned to go to a nearby mobile phone store to have a look and buy a new mobile phone.

After all, he is relatively well-off now, and it is naturally inconvenient to contact Hosokawa Koharu with his landline at home, and there are many civilian mobile phones in Japan, which are not expensive, and it is good to even have a phone card.

So Higashinoji wanted to take this opportunity to take a look at the mobile phone shop outside.

After leaving the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum and walking for more than ten minutes, Higashinoji found a mobile phone shop.

After going through various registration procedures and paying fees, Higashino finally got an old-style flip phone.

It's not a popular model, anyway, as long as you can make a phone call, Dong Yesi doesn't have much requirements for this thing.

After getting the phone card and installing it, Higashinosi clumsily manipulated the phone.

There is no way, I used a lot of full-screen smartphones in my previous life, but now I use this phone again, it will be difficult for Higashino to find even the address book for a while.

But at any rate, he is a man of the 21st century, and it didn't take long for Higashino to get used to the operation of this broken mobile phone.

He even called Hosokawa Koharu.

Hosokawa Xiaoharu quickly connected the phone: "Hello? Who is it?"

"I'm Higashinoji, editor Hosokawa." Higashinoji greeted, and explained the reason with a smile: "That's right, I bought a new mobile phone, so editor Hosokawa can call me at this number in the future."

"Ah, it's Mr. Higashino." As soon as he heard Higashino Division's voice, Hosokawa Koharu's voice slowed down: "Okay, I understand, then I will use this number to contact you from now on."

"Yeah." Dong Yesi responded, just about to hang up——

"Wait a minute, Mr. Higashino, I just want to tell you something."

Hosokawa Koharu tilted his head and clamped the phone, and rummaged through the information that had just been printed on the desktop with both hands:

"The statistics of the readers' responses have all been received, Mr. Dongye, your reader's praise rate is ranked first in the first rush statistics, and your reader's praise rate is ranked second in the second complete statistics."

Speaking of this, Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help comforting Higashino:

"Actually, Mr. Higashino, the quality of your comics is enough to be ranked first, but the number one "Between the Dolls" recently announced that it will be an OVA, made two episodes of animation, and used a lot of resources to promote it. Both of you are pretty normal."

Young people, there is always some arrogance. This time "Midnight Bell" was published on the front page and didn't get the first place. Maybe Dong Yesi will be sad?She must comfort Higashino Division.

After all, in the field of Japanese manga magazines, the ranking of the first chapter of many manga is already its peak ranking. If you go further, the ranking of most manga readers will only get lower and lower, and only some of them are of excellent quality. Comics are the only way to stay in the top ranks.

So it's only natural for her to worry that Higashino Division will be overwhelmed.

But what Hosokawa Koharu didn't expect was that Higashino Division over there just laughed cheerfully twice:

"Really? This result is already very good."

There is no loss of soul as Hosokawa Koharu imagined, and there is no such operation as imagining panic.

Higashino Division's attitude was very calm from the beginning.

So calm that Hosokawa Koharu was stunned.

"In short, Mr. Dongye, don't take this result too seriously. The OVA production of "Between the Dolls" is too much publicized this time. It's normal if you can't get the first place. Next time, as long as "Midnight Ring" still can To maintain this quality, number one is never a problem."

While comforting, Hosokawa Koharu said confidently.

That's right!

She can have confidence in "Midnight Ring".

As long as Higashino maintains that goosebump-provoking style and level, "Midnight Bell" will definitely take first place next time!

First, that is to say.

A manga author who can get a lot of money from Urashima Publishing House can fully deserve the title of "teacher" in the industry, and it is the dream of countless horror manga authors.

"I see, I will trouble Editor Hosokawa in the future."

"Well"

Hosokawa Koharu on the phone could sense that Higashinoji's mood was still stable, and he didn't have the strong spirit she imagined.

This made Hosokawa Koharu sigh somewhat.

Higashino’s drawing skills are not bad, the comic plot is not bad, the storyboard structure is clear, and the most important thing is that the author is psychologically stable

"This is too stable."

Hosokawa Koharu hung up the phone and couldn't help muttering to himself.

It is said that editors should grow together with authors.

But who knew that the author she met was a complete monster, too stable

This made her feel inexplicably being led by Dong Yesi.

The editor is carried away by the author

If this is said, even her colleagues will probably laugh at her.

But what was the use of laughing at her?

Hosokawa Koharu leaned helplessly on the office chair, looking rather hopeless, like a big salted egg editor.

But leaving aside her side, Higashinosi encountered something he hadn't expected.
