Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 99 Review of "The Lonely Gourmet" begins!

"The Lonely Gourmet".

Hosokawa Koharu knew the title of Higashinoji's comic for a long time, but when he got it, he felt a little dreamy.

Because Higashino not only finished "The Lonely Gourmet", but even moved it a week earlier - the final issue of "Aoba" is next week.

For a manga author, it is already rare to just submit the manuscript on time, and like Higashino Tsukasa, who almost always submits the manuscript in advance, even if Hosokawa Koharu drags him to the editorial department for a year. Yes, and then he said that he has a conscience in the industry, and it is estimated that few editors would not recognize it.

If this is not substituting sense.Then you can refer to the online writers who cut off water and electricity at every turn, and have a cold and fever. Only then can you know how rare it is to submit a manuscript on time.

I just don't know the quality of the content of "The Lonely Gourmet".

Hosokawa Koharu held the thick manuscript in his hand, hesitated nervously for a long time, then raised his head: "Then I will go in first, Mr. Higashino, you can go back too, and I will notify you by phone when I get the result. "

She still didn't have the courage to glance at the contents of "The Lonely Gourmet".

And even if she thought The Lonely Gourmet was good, it didn't mean much.

You must know that the condition set out by the editor-in-chief Urashima was that "The Lonely Gourmet" must be approved by the editors of the entire editorial department.

That is to say, Higashino Division must rely on "The Lonely Gourmet" to conquer the entire editorial department.

This difficulty is too great.

Hosokawa Koharu took a deep breath, trying to comfort Higashino, but before she could open her mouth, Higashino nodded understandingly: "That's fine, but editor Hosokawa, you don't have to think too much. It is enough to take the manuscript and show it to the editors.”

At the end, he added with a smile: "I have confidence in "The Lonely Gourmet"."

Uh

Hosokawa Koharu was a little dazed holding the manuscript. Seeing Higashino's unhurried departure, she couldn't help but patted her face with her hands, and it took a long time to react.

Why was he robbed of his lines by Dong Yesi again?And why does the author keep comforting the editor?This position is completely reversed.

"Fortunately, I still want to become more mature and guide Higashino-sensei to prevent him from detours."

Ugh!

Hosokawa Koharu sighed.

The manga author under her was so upbeat and eager to bring herself up to fly with him, which made her feel very complicated.

I don't know if "The Lonely Gourmet" can make me and Higashino Division fly together?

She shook her head and took "The Lonely Gourmet" out of the paper packet, then walked straight to the row of printers.

Hosokawa Koharu wanted to print out the same number of manuscripts as the entire editorial department. After all, the editor-in-chief Urashima said that all editors in charge should come to participate in the review of "The Lonely Gourmet".

To be honest, this kind of treatment has never been enjoyed by any manga since Hosokawa Koharu remembered it.

Even the Taizhuzi comics of the last generation of "Bad Chill" didn't have this kind of treatment.

But Higashino Division just enjoyed it

I really don't know if it's good or bad.

Full of melancholy, Hosokawa Koharu patiently stood by the printer, and only after the printer finished working did he re-enter the editorial office with a large pile of manuscripts.

As soon as he entered the editorial department, Hosokawa Koharu walked up to the editor-in-chief Urashima and started working: "Editor-in-chief Urashima, this is the original manuscript of Mr. Higashino's new comic "The Lonely Gourmet."

"Oh?" The editor-in-chief Urashima, who was still checking the sales data of "Bad Chill", raised his head immediately after hearing this.

Seeing Hosokawa Koharu's expression, he was also a little puzzled—is it true that Mr. Higashino created food comics?

He greeted the rest of the editors: "Several of you stop your work and come over to get the manuscript from Editor Hosokawa."

These editors obviously knew about the agreement between Hosokawa Koharu and the editor-in-chief Urashima, and they also knew that this was probably the original manuscript of "Midnight Ring" Higashino Division.

The editors chatted and laughed as they took the printout of the manga manuscript from Hosokawa Koharu with a careless look on their faces.

If Higashinoji's comic is the same horror comic as "Midnight Bell", then they can still have some snacks.

But food comics?Isn't this just making a fuss?

An author of horror comics, the author of comics who are dead all day long, switched to food comics?The span of this transformation is too great, which makes it difficult for professional editors like them to accept it.

Of course, even if the situation is not optimistic, some editors in the editorial department of Urashima Publishing House still believe that Higashino Tsukasa can produce excellent food manga.

After all, they also know that it is really not difficult for a manga author with solid basic skills like Higashinoji to come up with a good work

The difficulty lies in the prerequisite for editor-in-chief Urashima—obtaining the approval of all editors.

That's right!This is the hardest part.

The editorial department of Urashima Publishing House is responsible for more than 20 editors of weekly and monthly manga magazines. Higashinoji, a gourmet manga author who has become a monk, wants to use food manga to gain their approval?

Then this difficulty is too great.

There is a saying that it is difficult to tune into one voice.

Want to conquer them with a gourmet comic?Then you have to come up with a work of the level of "Midnight Ring", right?

Do you really think that a good food comic can make us editors drool like children who are waiting to be fed?

That's too naive, manga is not as simple as Higashinoji thought.

A good horror manga author went to draw some gourmet manga - this is the idea of ​​the other editors except Hosokawa Koharu.

"I'm sorry, Editor-in-Chief Urashima, I haven't retrieved the original manga manuscript from the printing room. I'll go over and get the original manuscript. You guys can start first."

Hosokawa Koharu raised his hand to speak, and then walked out of the editorial office with his expression unchanged.

As soon as she walked out of the editorial office, she hurriedly covered her heart, panting heavily.

In fact, how could she forget the original manuscript? It's just that she was too nervous and found an excuse to come out.

"What will happen?"

Hosokawa Koharu anxiously looked at the manuscript of "The Lonely Gourmet" in his hand.

But indecision is not her style. She breathed for a few minutes before regaining her spirits, clenched her fists, and returned to the editorial department: "Sorry, I'm back,"

then

She realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere of the entire editorial department.

All the editors stared straight at "The Lonely Gourmet" in their hands, as if they had lost their souls.

Hosokawa Koharu glanced around strangely, then lowered his head to look at "The Lonely Gourmet" in his hand.

Then she too was fascinated.

　Another update tonight.But it's twelve o'clock in the evening... I just threw out all the saved manuscripts after it was put on the shelf, and then I went to bed, and I will see you tomorrow!
