Full-time cartoonist

Torishima Kazuhiko spoke seriously about the ban of "Death Note".

"In China, "Slam Dunk" is very popular. Not only does it have amazing ratings, but its social influence is also terrifying.

"It can be said that students in every school in the city like to watch "Slam Dunk". China's campus basketball has also flourished because of this. This effect is even more amazing than Japan's."

"Because of the success of "Slam Dunk", I hope "Death Note" will follow suit, but unfortunately..."

"The "Death Note" anime was really popular in the early days of its broadcast."

"Students brought the "Death Note" comics to campus to read."

“Every shop in the streets and alleys of China sells notebooks with “Death Note” printed on them. "

"Piracy is rampant in China now, but when the law is improved, the IP value of "Death Note" will benefit Shueisha."

He held his head high and thought.

This is already a very successful performance, not inferior to the results in Europe and the United States.

Dong Yexiang listened quietly without speaking.

But he was thinking that this was it, "Death Note" was banned in China, it was very normal.

It would be damned if it wasn't banned.

"Death Note" is very inconsistent with China's social values.

It contains many emotional factors such as mysticism, death, revenge, etc. These black emotions are believed by leaders to have a very negative impact on children's young minds and seriously affect their personality development.

Hibiki Higashino was surprised that "Death Note" could be introduced into China.

"Unfortunately, not long after, some students wrote the names of their teachers and classmates in the Death Note. This incident caused an uproar and was discussed by people from all walks of life in China."

Torishima Kazuhiko continued: "At that time, the school prohibited students from bringing the "Death Note" manga into the school, and some of them were reading it in printed copies."

"Schools and parents print flyers criticizing a series of problems caused by "Death Note."

"In the end, the government banned the animation, and not long after, the comics were also banned from circulation."

He let out a long sigh, and the situation went from being good to bad very quickly.

"Is this the only bad news?" Higashikata asked. He was still thinking about the death curse.

If the work is blocked, it is not worth reading at all.

After all, this was something he had already prepared for.

"What else do you want?" Torishima Kazuhiko wondered. The Chinese market is huge, and the author can get a lot of profits.

"Aren't you worried at all when your work is banned? I am not willing to accept it and want to do some activities."

"Mr. Toriyama," Hibiki Higashino said, "just forget about this and focus your energy on promoting "Naruto". "Death Note" will only waste your energy."

The audience of Naruto in China far exceeds that of other jump comics.

This is evident from the current starting point and the fact that there are so many Naruto fans.

"That's true..." Torishima Kazuhiko was slumped.

In China, he felt the intensity of the ban on "Death Note", which was beyond doubt and there was no loophole to exploit.

"If we increase the promotion of "Naruto"..." he hesitated, "Naruto's current performance is not very good."

During the Naruto Chunin Exam, Jump slipped out of the top three, giving Torishima Kazuhiko a feeling of collapse halfway.

"Kishimoto and I have had a heart-to-heart talk," Higashino Hibiki said with a smile: "He knows what he should do, and "Naruto" will soon reach new heights."

Torishima Kazuhiko left. He was still very busy at work. Today he just came to chat with Hibiki Hibiki in the name of work.

The two cartoonists with whom he has the best relationship, Toriyama Akira lives in the countryside, and only Higashino Hibiki lives in Tokyo and can occasionally meet.

Another week passed. Higashino Hibiki waited for a long time, but did not wait for the curse of death. He felt that he was too suspicious. When he was relaxing, his son peed on his hand...

I really don’t know why the God of Death is so low.

Before we knew it, it was December, and there was no snow yet in winter, but all the maple leaves in the nearby park had fallen.

Hibiki Higashino and Akimiya Akemi sighed.

In the past two years, I was too busy with work and had no time to enjoy the red maples.

This year, Miku Higashino was born again. Missed the view.

"Wait until next year, you will definitely see the maple leaves falling all over the sky." Higashino Hibiki assured Akimiya Akemi.

"Yeah." Qiugong Akemi said with little interest.

She gave up hope.

She bought a house because she wanted to see the maple forest at the end of October, but she never saw it once. Akimiya Akemi already thought that this was a gap in her life and it was impossible to achieve it.

She leaned on the railing and sighed alone.

…

The next day Akimiya Akemi got up and found that the wardrobe in the bedroom was wide open and the clothes inside were turned out and in a mess.

"Ah!" Akimiya Akemi was very scared. She hurried to the nursery and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Tono Mirai sleeping deeply with a cute chubby face.

She walked carefully to the living room, where Mr. Akimiya, who lived in the Higashino family, was reading the newspaper silently.

"Father, has a thief come in?"

"I didn't find a thief." Mr. Akimiya replied calmly, "I just found it and don't care about the child's parents."

Akimiya Akemi felt it was obvious, "Huh?"

At this time, Higashino Hibiki ran down from the third floor with his suitcase.

He said excitedly: "Let's go traveling!"

…

Early in the morning, Akimiya Akemi, who had just woken up, arrived at the airport with Hibiki Higashino, who was carrying his suitcase, after breakfast.

"What will happen in the future?" Akimiya Akemi asked after coming back to her senses.

"Father is here anyway." Hibiki Higashikata didn't care, "We have been busy for so long, let's enjoy it."

"Just the two of us?"

"That's right, it's just the two of us."

Akimiya Akemi looked at the ticket in her hand, the destination was Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture.

She looked at the VIP waiting room where there were not many people, lay on the sofa, and laughed softly.

"What's wrong?" Higashino Hibiki asked while eating snacks. Akimiya Akemi didn't ask where she was going, she just giggled here, which made him very strange.

"I'm just happy." Akimiya Akemi covered her mouth and shook her shoulders.

"Why are you happy?" Hibiki put down the delicious stick in his hand and approached Akimiya Akemi.

Akimiya Akemi looked at the other passengers who had their eyes closed and were concentrating, but said nothing.

She shyly pushed Hibiki to stay away from her. Then he said: "I'll take a nap. Remember to call me when the time is up."

"Okay." Higashino Hibiki called the flight attendant, asked Akimiya Akemi for a blanket, and watched her sleep quietly.

Only ten minutes had passed, and Akimiya Akemi didn't know whether she woke up or not. She and Higashikata met each other's eyes, their eyes were crooked, and she suddenly sat up, with her mouth close to Higashikata's ear, and whispered——

"I am so happy to have you as my husband who loves me so much."

Higashikata blushed.

…

Osaka is located in the Kinki region, which is certainly not as good as Tokyo, but it is also very prosperous.

The flight to Osaka took only two hours.

Akimiya Akemi and Hibiki Higashino are not tired.

"Are you going to the hotel now?" Akimiya Akemi asked.

"We haven't reached our destination yet." Higashikata replied.

The place he wants to go is not in Osaka City, and he needs to transfer now.

After passing the tram and subway lines, Higashino Hibiki took Akimiya Akemi to Minoh City in Osaka Prefecture.

The scenery in Minoh is beautiful, and in December, you can smell the freshness in the air.

After putting down their luggage at the Minoh City hotel, they took a taxi and came to the park.

"Here is the Meiji-no-Mori Minoh Quasinational Park, with a total area of ​​83.8 hectares, and a waterfall, which is particularly spectacular." Hibiya Hibiki told Akimiya Akemi about the collected guide, and said in a knowing tone, "So you smell it , even the air here smells fresh.”

Akimiya Akemi sniffed and nodded.

"It doesn't smell fresh. It just rained in the past two days." The taxi driver joked with a smile, "It's winter, and most of the leaves have fallen off except the maple trees."

Dongye Xiang froze.

"Haha." Akimiya Akemi laughed.

After arriving at her destination, Akimiya Akemi walked towards the park gate.

Hibiki Higashino was paying the taxi fare. He said to the driver: "If you have emotional intelligence, you can get a lot of tips."

The driver took the money and chuckled, "Receiving tips also makes me unhappy, but my mood is more important. Mr. Tori Akino, you still have time to travel. It's been two months since "Death Note" was finished. Where is your new work? "

"Ah?" Hibiki Higashikata was surprised. It turned out that the driver was also one of his readers, "Please wait patiently for the new work.

Maybe next year, maybe the year after, there will always be one. "

At this time it was the driver's turn to look ugly.

"I'm sorry, Tori Akino-sensei," he apologized and handed out a notebook, "I've been enjoying reading your comics since "The Soul of the Game". Please sign it for me."

"Okay, no problem," Hibiki Higashino took it and wrote his name, "When I signed it, I wrote it sincerely for the fans. Please don't sell it."

"Of course not." The driver took it carefully, took a look at it, smiled happily, and put it in his coat pocket. "This will be my lifelong treasure."

The atmosphere has gotten better.

Higashino waved goodbye and walked towards Akimiya Akemi, her figure getting further and further away.

"Tori Akino-sensei," the driver poked his head out and asked loudly, "How long do we have to wait for the new work? I'm not joking."

Higashino Hibiki turned around, "I wasn't joking when I said it before. It should be two years later."

The driver sighed and became disappointed.

…

In early December, there were a lot of people in the park, but because of its large size, it didn't suffer.

Higashino Hibiki looked at the map and led Akimiya Akemi forward, looking at some beautiful scenery from time to time.

"The air in the mountains is better." Akimiya Akemi took a deep breath, "I feel refreshed both physically and mentally."

She had been confined at home for a long time, and now she could climb a mountain. This feeling of breaking the silence and suddenly becoming enlightened made her very excited.

"Thank you, Hibiki, thank you for everything you have done for me." Akimiya Akemi said to Higashino Hibiki seriously.

Higashikata saw that she was uncomfortable, so he jumped out to travel. I specially chose a tourist spot with a broad view.

"I also want to go out for a walk. The last time I traveled was the last time."

"ah?"

"I mean in April of last year."

"oh."

The two of them climbed the stairs and quickly reached the top, where they saw the rather spectacular waterfall.

The waterfall falls and the water vapor fills the air. There are trees growing on the surrounding cliffs. They are in various colors of red, yellow, orange and green, which is so beautiful.

Many tourists exclaimed "Wow" and "That's awesome".

"It's a red maple." Akimiya Akemi's eyes flickered. She tugged on the corner of Hibiki Hibiki's clothes and pointed at the maple tree, "It's so beautiful."

Higashikata put his arm around her shoulders, "Yes, it's a maple tree that hasn't finished losing its leaves."

It's a pity that all the maple leaves fell into the waterfall, so you can't see the red maple leaves all over the road.

Lost the flaming red beauty.

"My dream has come true." Akimiya Akemi raised a smile on her lips.

…

There were a lot of people here. Akimiya Akemi and Higashino Hibiki watched for a while, then moved to a pavilion in another place, where they could have a bird's eye view of the mountain view.

"This is a beautiful scenery I haven't seen in a long time." Akimiya Akemi has completely recovered after two months of nursing. After climbing the mountain, she was not tired. She grabbed the handrail and looked at the scenery.

The wind hit her face, and Akimiya Akemi couldn't help but rub her hands.

Higashino Hibiki took out the thermos cup and handed it to Akimiya Akemi.

"Ha." Akimiya Akemi drank the hot water, sighed, and exhaled a breath of hot air. She handed the thermos cup back to Hibiki Hibiki, "I'm very happy about today's trip."

Higashino Hibiki put away the thermos cup, "That's good, but today's journey is not over yet."

"Where else are you going?"

"You'll find out soon."

After staying at the top of the mountain for half an hour, they started to go down the mountain. This time they took another route and walked along the stream, with the sound of rushing water in their ears.

After walking for twenty minutes, the scenery suddenly changed and turned into a sea of ​​red.

"In December, the red maples in Osaka have not yet fallen. Minoh Park is famous for its waterfalls and red leaves."

"Look, how beautiful it is."

The road ahead is lined with maple trees. Now is the time when the maple leaves turn red. They fall on the ground and spread a carpet of red leaves.

Akimiya Akemi was stunned.

This was the beauty she had always wanted to see.

"Hibiki, I love you."

she says.

…

Time seemed to have stopped. The maple leaf fell on Hibiki's shoulder. Akimiya Akemi approached and took it off. Hibiki hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead.

This is a tourist attraction carefully selected by Hibiki Higashikata just for Akimiya Akemi's Sigh.

Since you can’t see red maples in Tokyo, go somewhere else to make your wife happy.

As for my son, let him drink milk powder for two days.

"I love you too." Hibiki responded.

He looked at the tears in Akimiya Minmei's eyes, took her arm, and headed towards the dreamy scenery.

After returning to the hotel, Akimiya Akemi tucked the maple leaves into the book.

"I will never forget this day," she said.

"I will forget it." Hibiki Higashikata said.

"Why?"

"We will be happier in the future, today is just an insignificant day."

"You are suddenly so good at talking."

"Because I love you so much."

"ring……"

"Um?"

"So disgusting."
