Tokyo life starting with painting

Akasaka Kazuya took a deep breath and closed "Aoba".

Recalling the feelings he had in "The Lonely Gourmet" just now, Akasaka Kazuya felt deeply powerless and even wanted to scold her.

This time Higashinoji did not draw a horror and suspense work like "The Ring", but——

"How can I criticize "The Lonely Gourmet"?"

Thinking of the requirements explained above, Akasaka Kazuya really had to bite the bullet and didn't know what to say.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that "The Lonely Gourmet" is definitely another excellent comic, with cooking illustrations that arouse the most primitive appetite, and the absurd and humorous yet very realistic story of Inokashira Goro.

If a considerable part of the success of "The Ring" lies in the artistry, then it can be seen from "The Lonely Gourmet" that the comic author whose pen name is Higashino has stepped up to a new level in plot shaping ability.

This author named Higashino is really his nemesis.

Akasaka Kazuya shook his head.

If "The Ring" brings horror and depression, then "The Lonely Gourmet" brings happiness and hunger, and it's the kind of uncontrollable hunger.

He has asked his wife to order vegetarian noodles for him, and it goes very well with "The Lonely Gourmet".

But the more this happened, the more Akasaka Kazuya felt unable to write.

He really couldn't do it without conscience to criticize a comic that basically couldn't find any flaws.

And even if he really goes to criticize "The Lonely Gourmet", will the readers of "Chaojin" magazine agree?

That might be a bit difficult.

It is estimated that most of the people who came out in the end supported Higashinoji, and a small number supported him.

At that time, it will make "The Lonely Gourmet" topical.

Therefore, Akasaka Kazuya could only treat it coldly and not evaluate the manga written by Higashino.

"Hey, if this continues, I will soon become his fan."

Looking at the dull Inokashira Goro on the cover, Akasaka Kazuya sighed feebly.

Before watching "The Lonely Gourmet", I thought it was nothing when I looked at Goro's face.

But now that he had finished reading it and looked at this face again, he just felt that the other person was inducing hunger and had the effect of curing anorexia.

However, the author named Dongye is also very mysterious. Even if the single book of "The Ring" is on sale, he has not shown much face in the media. According to internal information, it seems that he is still in high school?

"If that's true, that would be amazing. He has already reached the forefront of the industry at such a young age.

Akasaka Kazuya murmured to himself, then felt hungry again, so he took another bite of vegetarian noodles.

Hey, what a meal.

Higashinoji doesn't know what kind of disturbance "The Lonely Gourmet" has caused outside.

But just by looking at the magazines and newspapers that were reviewed today, he could probably tell that this time "Midnight Ring" and "The Lonely Gourmet" had completely established the reputation of 'Higashiya' as a comic book author.

Higashinoji glanced at the reviews of "The Lonely Gourmet" and "The Ring" before nodding.

The authors of these comics reviews are well aware of the fact that the quality of "The Lonely Gourmet" and "The Ring" is so high that they can be considered "Cold" signboard comics, so naturally they can boast highly of them.

I have gone through all the plot analysis and all that.

But they seem to be doing reading comprehension, and all kinds of analysis are coming out.

But in fact, Higashinoji didn't think as much as they thought.

Some comic review writers are much smarter. Instead of reviewing comics, they comment on Higashino Tsukasa, the comic author.

Some media and newspapers simply called Higashinoji the "night comic geek," which means that he can read Higashinoji's comics most of the time, but not at night.

Because both "The Lonely Gourmet" and "The Ring" are enough to torture you crazily at this time of night.

Either torture your stomach or destroy your soul

This has also been recognized by many newspapers and media readers. After all, this is completely true. Watching Higashinoji's works at night is simply torture.

Some people even specifically criticized Urashima Publishing House for releasing "Midnight Bell" and "Aoba" in the afternoon, saying that they did this on purpose to maximize the effect of Higashino Tsukasa's comics.

In addition to these criticisms, a considerable number of authors have focused on analyzing Higashinoji's age and career.

At first, they thought that Higashino Tsukasa was just an old author who changed a new pen name and came to Urashima Publishing House to draw comics.

But the latter writers found that no matter what comics magazine they could find, they could not find a comic author with the same style as Higashino Tsukasa, so they came to a surprising conclusion——

This comic book author who started the TV craze and late-night snacking culture seems to be a wild man who became a monk halfway?

After coming to this conclusion, the titles of geek, genius, and old thief were placed directly on Higashinoji's head, making him unable to take them off.

And since Higashinoji's actual age and occupation are unknown, they cannot infer Higashinoji's specific situation. They can only draw the manga from the comics, the manga category Higashinoji chose and his understanding of the manga, and thus came to the conclusion that "Teacher Higashino" About twenty-five to thirty-five years old, most likely middle-aged. ’ this conclusion.

Yes.

Not many people think of Higashinoji as a high school student.

After all, he is just a high school student. How can he have the life experience to draw such an outstanding work as "The Lonely Gourmet"? Even "The Ring" can't be drawn without some experience.

Of course, evaluation must have two sides.

Even if "The Lonely Gourmet" and "The Ring" are indeed excellent, there will always be people who question them.

Some people simply think that authors like Higashinoji are short-lived, and it is very hard to serialize two works. How can Higashinoji, a one-man manga author, be able to take into account both plot and quantity?

This makes sense, and Higashinoji didn't have much psychological fluctuations after looking at it.

But what happens next is a bit confusing.

Some people simply used the depressing plot of "The Lonely Gourmet" to talk about it, saying that this kind of thing is not conducive to cultivating high school students' good impression of social enterprises and even exacerbates their fear of society.

Higashikata was very happy to see it.

A comic work is meant to entertain the public, how could he still see this meaning?

I have to say that there will always be people in the world who take things out of context.

But that's okay, there is a topic only when there is a debate. Touyesi has always been very open-minded about this kind of thing and doesn't care much about it.

He just secretly became interested in the names of these newspapers and magazines and memorized them for a while.
