Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 400 Beginning to Rise? (4000 words!)

The setting sun outside the window.

But this setting sun does not give people the feeling of 'heat', but gives people a kind of bone-chilling coldness.

In the messy room, Yusuke Kobayashi looked at all this in a daze.

The cold feeling has already climbed up the backs of Qianxia and Yusaki Nakano on the mountain like tarsal maggots.

Should it be said that it is Higashinoji?
Although Chika Yamagami and Yusaki Nakano had already prepared themselves psychologically, they knew that Higashinoji had a strong foundation in manga.

Likewise, they felt that they would not be too surprised.

But after the actual results came out, the two of them felt that they were thinking too much.

Obviously, the "The Grudge" drawn by Higashinoji was only painted in black and white.

But the terrifying and eerie world of "The Grudge" seemed to appear in front of their eyes.

The scenery around Higashino's studio is elongated.

When they came back to their senses, they were already standing in the haunted house of Zobo Kayako.

The gloomy mansion, the room exuding chill, the shadows in the corners seem to be peeping
at the same time.

It was the rustling sound like the "cluck, cluck, cluck" sound coming from the ear.

An indescribable sense of fear swept through the hearts of the two of them.

Chinatsu Yamagami and Nakano Yusaki looked at each other, and both of them saw the fear in each other's eyes.
Even the upper and lower lips are already fighting.

But the scariest thing is undoubtedly the voice that suddenly came from my ear: "Huh? This is not it"

When people are concentrating on watching something scary, a sound suddenly comes out of their ears, which will undoubtedly startle people.

At least Chinatsu Yamagami and Yusaki Nakano were really taken aback--they really jumped up screaming "Wow".

Hosokawa Xiaoharu, who just walked over from the other side, was taken aback by the action of the two of them, and his face was full of confusion—didn't I just come here and see the original manga on the table?

Why do you two seem to have seen a ghost?
Wait until both of them calm down a little.

Qianxia Yamagami, who was the leader, realized that she had just frightened Koharu Hosokawa, who had recently taken office.

It is said that there are three fires for new officials to take office.

Qianxia on the mountain has been honest these past few days, for fear that Hosokawa Koharu's fire will directly burn herself.

The result is now good.

She took precautions against everything, but she didn't expect to run into this fire anyway.

Qianxia Yamagami hurriedly said, "Sorry, Editor-in-Chief Hosokawa, we."

Before she finished speaking, Yusaki Nakano, who was next to her, was already touching her head, and said unhappily: "Who is it? I was so shocked, I really don't want to appear behind others."

Good guy!
When Qianxia Shan Shang heard this, she felt bad.

This Hosokawa Koharu is an old acquaintance of Higashino Division.

Aren't you offending Higashinoji by saying this?
Qianxia Yamagami made up her mind and decided to "sell friends for glory" to draw a clear line with Nakano Yusaki, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by Nakano Yusaki's next sentence.

"What's the matter? Senior on the mountain? Your complexion seems a bit unwell."

"Uh"

Qianxia Yamagami looked at Nakano Yusaki with a silly face, and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Not
You definitely did it on purpose, right?

Qianxia Yamagami really wanted to vomit blood, spewing blood to death Nakano Yusaki, and then found a place to hang herself to death - what a shame to meet people!

She was fighting frantically on this side, but Hosokawa Koharu on the other side didn't pay much attention.

When she was at Fushima Publishing House, her status was not high. Even if she came to Dongye Studio and became the editor-in-chief, her concept did not change for a while.

Therefore, Hosokawa Koharu was not angry either, but asked curiously: "Is this the original manuscript drawn by Mr. Higashino?"

Every manga author has his own style, but Higashinoji is different.

After he draws a comic, his style will change a lot.

But judging from the brushstrokes, Hosokawa Koharu, the editor who has been in charge of Higashinoji's works for three years, can still easily see what the other party draws.

She just glanced at it twice, and then she was immersed in the cursed world constructed by Higashino Division.

After reading it completely, she was also so frightened that her heart couldn't stop beating.

At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh.

Higashino Division's basic skills are much better than those in "Midnight Ring" back then.

The obvious gap can be seen from the comic "The Grudge" of the same type.

But Hosokawa Koharu can also tell that this is just a demonstration cartoon drawn by Higashino Tsukasa for newcomers.

Because Higashino Division's drawing is too up to standard, and he doesn't have the casual feeling when he draws manga by himself.

Seeing this, Hosokawa Koharu raised his head and glanced at Nakano Yusaki and Yamagami Chika: "I heard that Higashino-sensei seems to want to train a manga author who can provoke Higashino's manga."

"That's right! It's me!"

Nakano Yusaki stood up without hesitation and patted her chest.

"is it?"

Hosokawa Koharu took a look at Nakano Yusaki, and found that the girl with a single ponytail was quite cute.

So she showed a kind smile: "Come on, don't be ashamed of Mr. Dongye's painstaking training."

Don't be ashamed of Mr. Higashino's cultivation.
Nakano Yusaki couldn't help scratching her head when she heard this.

She is a straight person by nature, and to be more clear, she is a tough-as-nails, straightforward in everything.

Hosokawa Koharu jumped out suddenly and startled himself, but he actually started to teach himself——is this tolerable? !

Nakano Yusaki felt that other than her "mentor" Higashino Tsukasa who could teach her, no one else had the qualifications to teach her at all.

She came up with a 'simple energy', immediately raised her head and said, "I'm sure I won't disappoint Teacher Dongye, but why are you teaching me? Do you understand manga?"

As soon as he said this, Qianxia Yamagami couldn't help admiring Nakano Yusaki, as if he was looking at an alien.

Although she had already learned about Nakano Yusaki's straight-forward personality during the break time of getting along.

But she didn't expect this guy to be so straight
Chinatsu Yamagami just wanted to apologize on behalf of Arisaki Nakano.

But I didn't expect that Hosokawa Koharu on the other side would be the first to apologize with a smile: "Well, that's true, I'm not very considerate, I'm very sorry."

Uh--

Should I say that he is really an acquaintance of Mr. Higashino?

How polite!
Qianxia Yamagami sighed inwardly, while preventing Arisaki Nakano from saying the wrong thing again, she simply said, "Sorry, Editor-in-Chief Hosokawa, you should still have something to do, right? Go and get busy with your business, here I can handle things."

Hosokawa Koharu obviously didn't care, just nodded with a smile, and left with the form.

This made Qianxia on the mountain heaved a sigh of relief, finally feeling relieved.

Facing Nakano Yusaki behind him, he blew his beard and stared: "You idiot! Do you know that Editor-in-Chief Hosokawa is an acquaintance of Mr. Higashino? What were you talking about just now?"

"I..." Facing Qianxia Yamagami, Arisaki Nakano couldn't be fierce anymore, he seemed very aggrieved.

After all, Qianxia Yamagami has been teaching her how to draw, and she is a senior whom she respects very much.

Although she is straight-hearted and simple-minded, she does not dare to be rude to the respected 'senior'.

"You remember to apologize to Editor-in-Chief Hosokawa."

Chinatsu Yamagami reminded Arisaki Nakano.

"Hey--?"

Arisaki Nakano made a sound.

"What are you doing? There's nothing shameful about apologizing."

Chinatsu Yamagami pinched Nakano Yusaki's nose and said:

"That's an editor from Fushima Publishing House. She is the only female editor who is most likely to become the editor-in-chief of Fushima Publishing's "Heshi" magazine in recent years. Of course, she knows manga very well. In terms of professionalism, even Mr. Higashino Not necessarily stronger than the other party."

"Ah? Is that so?"

Arisaki Nakano, who was still full of reluctance just now, looked up in surprise.

"Yeah. That's why I told you to apologize quickly. Wait, what are you going to do?"

Chinatsu Yamagami glanced in astonishment at Arisaki Nakano who quickly got up and trotted.

"I'm going to apologize! And I have to ask her about the comics."

Nakano Arisaki replied as a matter of course, and ran towards Hosokawa Koharu's office area at high speed.

Seeing the other party's hurried appearance, Shan Shang Qianxia was at a loss for words.

"You are really a chameleon!"

"That's different." Arisaki Nakano trotted out with the original manuscript of "The Grudge" by Higashino Tsukasa: "I didn't know that editor-in-chief Hosokawa had real skills just now, but I know now. Of course I have to apologize for my rudeness." .”

Yes.

Nakano Yusaki's idea is simple.

At first, she thought that Hosokawa Koharu was incompetent and still came to teach. She simply pretended to understand. Then of course she was angry, after all, she had worked so hard.To be taught by someone who doesn't understand anything.

But now. She knows that the other party knows manga very well, and the knowledge of manga may be richer than Higashinoji, so of course she has to apologize.

After all, the opponent is better than himself.

She hurried out.

Looking at it like that, Qianxia on the mountain has nothing to say.

At this time, she also understood why Arisaki Nakano had improved so fast.

Talented, still working hard, never letting go of a chance. Although there is indeed a problem with his personality.

But
It's still very powerful, and it really belongs to the type that deserves to be successful.

She sighed, and also felt that Dong Yesi's eyes were really good.

Obviously, Higashinoji didn't know what Qianxia Yamagami was thinking.

He didn't see Nakano Yusaki after returning from an outing, so he asked Yamagami Qianxia as usual.

After receiving the answer that Nakano Yusaki went to Hosokawa Koharu to learn manga knowledge, Tonoji didn't continue to care.

After all, Hosokawa Koharu has a very strict attitude towards manga, if Nakano Yusaki is going to ask Hosokawa Koharu for advice, then he really doesn't have to care too much.

In this way, he continued to draw the unfinished "Naoki Hansawa", and also waited for the follow-up news from Dongye Comics.

It's just that Tonoji regrets that it seems to be as reported on TV programs, the Internet, and newspapers and magazines.

It seems that Dongye Manga is really hard to come back.

These comments made Osawa Kokichi, who was still confident in Higashino Manga at the beginning, doubt his own judgment.

Could it be that Dongye manga really ended like this?

This situation must be too difficult, right?
This difficult situation continued until Sunday of this week.
"Huh" Hosokawa Koharu, who was getting ready for work, rubbed his eyes and yawned lazily.

Judging by her complexion with makeup on but still unable to conceal the dark circles under her eyes, it can be seen that Hosokawa Koharu is very tired now.

It is indeed very tiring.

Because in the past few days, in addition to dealing with Nakano Yusaki's questions, she also had to be distracted from reviewing the manuscripts uploaded on Higashino's comics.

The new registered users of Dongye Comics are not in a good state, but they are very stable, basically staying at more than 1000 every day
However, this is the situation after the promotion of station p, so the reference value is not great.

Hosokawa Koharu estimated that once pixiv stopped promoting, the user growth of Higashino Manga would plummet.

Although there are more and more manga manuscripts submitted in the original area.

However, according to her professional vision, she did not find a few comics that could meet the criteria for signing a contract with Dongye Comics.

The increase in work, coupled with the outside discussions these days, really made her physically and mentally exhausted.

"I hope to find some good seedlings and other good news today"

Hosokawa Koharu opened the backstage of Higashino Manga with ease, and glanced casually.

then
"This is.?"

Looking at the data on the form, Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help opening his mouth wide, showing a surprised expression.

"The number of new user registrations yesterday was 2334, and the number of paying users increased by 926."

Hosokawa Koharu was indeed shocked.

You must know that she has become accustomed to the data of more than 1000 new user registrations every day these days.

This suddenly doubled, and the number of paying people also increased by 926.
It was as if aliens had fallen from the sky, suddenly increasing the number so much.

"Could it be that Mr. Dongye has found a new means of propaganda?"

Hosokawa Koharu has been in the workplace for a long time, and he can be regarded as a battle-tested veteran.

After a few minutes of fever, she calmed down and began to analyze the reasons for this situation.

The biggest possibility is that Higashino Division has found a new promotion method.

Not only P station promotion, but also traditional promotion methods such as TV and newspapers.
"Should it be like this?" Looking at the data of more than two thousand and three hundred users, Hosokawa Koharu muttered to himself.

It's like saying Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.

Hosokawa Koharu was still reciting Higashinoji's name one second, and the next second Higashinoji pushed open the door and walked in.

This is Tonoji's habit.

Before going to work every day, come over and take a look at the data of Dongye comics.

Hosokawa Koharu was no stranger to it.

She printed out the data sheet, stood up and handed it to Dong Yesi and said, "Mr. Dong Ye, have you found any new promotion methods?"

"New ways to promote? What's that?"

Higashino Division originally came in to see the data of Higashino's comics today, but after hearing Hosokawa Koharu's words, he replied inexplicably.

"Huh? But today's data"

Seeing that Higashino seemed to be ignorant, Hosokawa Koharu was also stunned.

Didn't find a new promotion?

In other words, relying on its own quality, Dongye Comic won the data of more than 300 user registrations?
This.
Hosokawa Koharu opened his mouth.

Could it be that Dongye comics have finally begun to rise?
