Tokyo life starting with painting

"Editor Hosokawa! The results of the readers' positive votes for "The Winner is Right" are out."

The female clerk in charge of printing the cashier's form called Hosokawa Koharu, and then handed over a printed form.

After hearing this, Hosokawa Koharu immediately dropped what he was doing and thanked him: "Okay, sorry for bothering you." Then he hurriedly reached out to take it and looked at it carefully.

The first thing that catches my eye are very familiar words.

"The Winner Is Right" ranks first among readers

This is nothing to see.

Since Koharu Hosokawa took over "Winner is Right", this comic has always been the first in the "Cold" readers' praise, and the ranking has almost never changed.

The most important thing is what’s behind——

Hosokawa Koharu glanced at the string of words behind "The Winner Is Justice".

Then

"It's really gone up." Koharu Hosokawa muttered to himself as he rubbed his eyes and looked at the dazzling 678 votes behind "The Winner is Justice".

Compared with the previous 671 votes, it increased by 7 votes.

Perhaps many people think that just 7 votes means nothing at all, but you must know that in an already stable ranking, if you want to increase the number of votes, even three or four votes are very difficult to get.

"The Winner Is Justice" is a small increase this time, but this small increase cheered up Hosokawa Koharu.

She immediately called Higashinoji and shouted excitedly: "Teacher Higashino! The number of positive reviews from readers of "The Winner is Justice" has increased by 7 votes compared to last week!"

"Really?" Higashino raised his eyebrows after receiving the call, but rarely continued.

Is the unit drama model of "The Winner Is Justice" too fixed? Even if Higashino revealed the main plot, it would have increased by 7 votes.

Is it possible that the plot lacks that kind of particularly exciting explosive point? Then you have to think of a way to make readers excited.

Higashinoji was thinking here, and Hosokawa Koharu over there was happy for a while. Hearing that Higashinoji remained silent, he asked strangely: "Teacher Higashino, aren't you happy?"

You must know that the number of votes for "The Winner is Justice" has always been fixed before. This sudden change is a great joy. Shouldn't you be happy?

At least Hosokawa Koharu felt that she should be happy about this.

"No, I'm actually quite happy." Hearing Hosokawa Koharu's question, Higashinoji reacted and answered with a smile.

Although he was really not excited when he heard this result, he still had to take care of Hosokawa Koharu's emotions.

The editor can't report the good news here, but you can report the sorrow over there, right?

Higashinoji's emotional intelligence is not that low.

But Hosokawa Koharu over there clearly noticed what Higashinoji was thinking about. She groaned and then asked: "Although I think the current momentum is quite good, Higashino-sensei, do you have any other ideas?"

She quite agrees with Higashinoji's enterprising spirit in active creation.

"The next plot is going to reach its climax, right? I want this comic to start from now and go all the way to the climax."

Higashikata replied thoughtfully.

"The Winner Is Justice" has reached its tenth chapter, and it has just entered the theme.

But if the number of votes increased at such a rapid rate from 10 to 7 every time, then Higashinoji would not be able to accept it.

From now on, he will focus more on the creation of "The Winner Is Justice" and draw with the momentum that every episode will be the last episode, all the way to the climax.

But this will definitely increase the workload.

Hosokawa Koharu understood the tone of his words, hesitated for a while and nodded: "I understand, Mr. Higashino, but you must pay attention to your health."

She was a little worried about Higashinoji's health, but she still respected the other person's choice.

"I know." Higashino responded with a smile.

Not that he wanted to give it a try, but this was 2003.

It's a Japanese manga script in the cold winter.

There are only a few good comics on the market, and Tonoji must take advantage of this period to carve out a large piece of the cake from the market.

Just like the later generations of the Celestial Dynasty, when they see the good-for-nothings breaking off their engagements, they think of "Fights Beyond the Sphere", Higashino also wants others to think of his "The Winner is Justice" when they see lawyer-type professional comics.

Let’s not talk about “Midnight Ring”. It is one of the most popular horror comics in Japan right now.

He made up his mind here and began to seriously prepare for the painting of "The Winner Is Justice".

In Higashinoji's opinion, there is no problem with the plot of the comic "The Winner Is Justice".

What's missing now is pure detail improvement.

Including lines, characters, behavior and movements, Higashino began to pay attention to everything, and put in a lot of effort to carefully carve it.

In this way, in the next few weeks, "The Winner is Right" attracted many young people who paid attention to "Cold".

Another conversation between Kensuke Komemon and Machiko Dai.

"Money and power are inseparable. People with money have power." Kensuke Komemon stretched his waist soothingly and asked Machiko Dai: "Do you know why?"

Komemon Kensuke, who was restored with exquisite brushwork and extreme realism by Higashinoji, is like a living person standing in front of the readers.

In this regard, Dai Machiko hesitated and could not say a word.

But soon, Gumeimen Kensuke gave the answer: "Because people will crowd in where there is money. In this country, rich people will be regarded as bad people."

“So, flattering politicians advertise clean politics to such ignorant people, and the ignorant people support this kind of politics. As a result, the number of politicians who are incompetent and ignorant increases, and the people begin to lament that Japan’s politicians are no longer good. . But in reality? Aren’t these people who advertise clean politics making money? You know, the income of an ordinary prefectural councilor is enough for him to go to the Ginza Club every day to eat, drink and have fun.”

Komemon Kensuke crossed his arms and sat on the sofa.

Every move he made and the Japanese society he saw seemed to come alive in Higashinoji's writings.

He sarcastically showed the bloody reality of Japanese society to Machiko Dai, then patted her on the head and told her with a smile, 'You can still have your dream of justice, but reality is like this'.

This is what Komemon Kensuke does.

Moreover, Higashinoji's penetrating portrayal makes the already spicy and sensitive topic even more heated!

Because for most people, these things are actually known to them, but they have never faced them. To be precise, they are unwilling to face them directly.

Politicians are dirty in their methods, otherwise why would everyone be willing to climb up? Do you really think that the meager salary of the congressmen can support them to go to the Ginza Club to eat, drink and have fun every day? Do you really think politicians do charity?

Higashino simply took out all these social phenomena and put them in front of many people.

To be honest, when Hosokawa Koharu posted this, he was still worried about whether it would cause social problems. After all, this topic is still relatively sensitive.

But unexpectedly, what she worried about did not happen. Instead, "The Winner is Justice" once again increased the popularity.

As the topic spread more and more widely, some thoughtful social critics also noticed this comic - these people are the kind of people who have nothing to do. They have nothing to do but scold and criticize Japan's unlucky prime minister. It is a social phenomenon, and then people lie down and take money, and then spray spray on the unlucky Prime Minister.

I can see that "The Winner Is Justice" has gained social popularity.

Of course they want to come and have fun, and pick a few unlucky congressmen to spray: "I also watch "The Winner Is Justice". The kind of useless politicians mentioned in the comics do exist in reality, and they are XXX And XXX, oh, and the unlucky prime minister is like this too."

This is no joke. Japan’s social commentators will yell at politicians over trivial matters, especially the Prime Minister of Japan. They have been the target of criticism in recent years. Anyway, as long as the person scolding has a high enough status, there will be Readers buy into it.

Originally, the topic of "The Winner Is Justice" was limited to comics, animations, and circles that like to watch TV series.

But once this group of social critics takes a stand, it's completely different.

The people who knew nothing below, including those who didn't know the comic "The Winner Is Justice", were suddenly surprised.

Was Japan originally led by such a group of people?

Is our country’s internal system corrupt?

You must know that Japan is a country where everyone pays taxes on consumption. Many people follow what they say, and many people believe it.

The topic "The Winner Is Justice" has once again been discussed on the Oricon List

The eleventh episode of "The Winner Is Justice" received 695 votes!

700 votes for episode 12!

Chapter 13, 713 votes!

Looking at this data, to be honest, Hosokawa Koharu is a little confused.

The increase at the beginning was quite predictable. Although it was a surprise, it didn't fluctuate much. But later on, she couldn't understand the increase at all.

She thought of what Higashinoji said three weeks ago——

We must go all out and constantly challenge the climax.

Is this the answer sheet handed over by Higashinoji?

Even if it is a unit drama type, he can make the unit drama interesting.

And at the same time.

"This time's "The Winner Is Justice" is really good! I wasn't even interested in it before, so you can watch it." A male Musashi College student recommended it in a low voice to the male college student next to him.

"Hey? Are you sure? I remember you were a fan of Mr. Higashino before, right? The copies of "Cold" and Mr. Higashino's single volume at home are almost half as tall as me. Aren't you lying to me?"

"That's not the point. The point is that this time's "The Winner Is Justice" is really good."

"Okay then, I'll buy a copy of "Abominable Cold" later. Speaking of which, where is Mr. Dazhi?"

"I said I was going to buy beer and fried chicken. I'm going to his house tonight to celebrate."

"Hey, are you serious? I saw Dazhi-kun heading towards University Street before."

"Damn it, is it possible that this bastard went to the college fraternity without telling us?"

The sound of a small discussion came, and Nagawa Chimei couldn't help but let out a breath. She turned to look at the "Abominable Cold" at hand, and looked at the colorful cover of "The Winner is Justice" on the home page, and she bit He clenched his teeth and continued to turn over the pages unwillingly.

Although I don’t want to admit it, it looks really good.

If the previous comic was credited with the plot of "Midnight Ring", then this "Winner is Justice" is entirely supported by Higashino Tsukasa's painting skills.

Without his powerful and immersive scenes, it would be like experiencing what happened in the comics. Chimi Nagawa estimates that "The Winner is Justice" should be a bit lower.

This is the bad thing about unit drama comics.

"But it's useless to say this." Nagawa Chimei turned to the end and sighed contentedly.

She put down "Abominable Chill". After all, she didn't particularly like reading comics. The only purpose of buying "Abominable Chill" was to read "The Winner is Justice" by Higashino Tsukasa. As for other comics, she didn't even want to read them. .

After Chimi Nagawa put down the comic, she turned to look at Akisa Kuromiya who was wearing glasses.

At this time, Kuromiya Meisa had already completed the final work required by Musashimi University. She was lowering her head and imitating the drawing method of Higashinoji's "Midnight Ring" on the comic manuscript paper.

She painted very seriously. The tip of the G pen dipped in water rose and fell on the brush. She dipped in ink and put down the pen very quickly.

Under the pen of Meisa Kuromiya, a picture of Sadako who is about to crawl out of the TV screen quickly takes shape.

The eerie appearance made Chimei Nagawa next to her couldn't help but feel chills all over.

But Kuromiya Meisa was obviously dissatisfied. She didn't say anything, just put the Sadako on the other side and started to draw the next one——

"Mingsha, just take a rest. And it's too late now, we should go home."

Chimei Nagawa pulled the bench next to Akisa Kuromiya and spoke to persuade her.

Originally, she didn't have any expectations. After all, Kuromiya Meisa's temper was as stubborn as a cow. As long as the other party was not satisfied, the other party would keep dragging her on without wanting to rest at all.

But she never expected that Kuromiya Mingsha actually nodded: "Well, let's take a rest and go home."

This made Chimei Nagawa's eyes widen. She seemed not to have expected that her friend would say such unexpected words.

She froze in place for a long time without moving. It was not until Kuromiya Mingsa put away all the painting tools that she finally came back to her senses and looked at Kuromiya Mingsa with something wrong: "Mingsa, what's wrong with you? ?”

Could it be that the recent blow from Higashinoji was so severe that he was mentally disturbed?

"It's nothing, I'm tired too." Akisa Kuromiya pushed up her glasses gently, her flat chest showing no fluctuation.

Listening to this answer that was completely inconsistent with her friend's answer, Nagawa Chimei quietly took out her mobile phone. She felt that now she should mobilize her connections to subdue Kuromiya Meisa first, and then send her to a psychiatrist or psychologist for a check-up. .

Because there was something wrong with Kuromiya Meisa today.

strangeness.

It's so weird.

I remember that I had a phone call with Higashinoji before, and then he came back like this.

Could it be that Toyoji did something to her?
