Tokyo life starting with painting

After the meal, Higashino took the initiative to stand up and clear the dishes but was stopped by Higashino Chihaya.

"Aji is a boy who wants to do big things! Let my sister do this kind of thing!" Chihaya Higashino patted her chest: "Aji should go and rest."

She just has a mental disorder and doesn't have a clear understanding of herself. She can still do some housework, so she is unwilling to let Higashino do many things and does them all by herself.

This is equivalent to the treatment of an emperor.

But Higashinoji naturally didn't want to be served by a girl with a mental disorder.

After all, he was not injured or sick, nor was he disabled.

"It doesn't matter, I have nothing to do anyway." Higashinoji smiled and naturally took the dishes from Higashino Chihaya's hand.

After comforting Chihaya Higashino, Higashinoji entered the room.

Looking at the empty room, he pinched his chin and sighed.

"A little short of money."

Yes.

Lack of money is the biggest problem facing the Higashino family.

Chihaya Higashino needs treatment expenses.

Money is also needed for food, housing and transportation at home.

Everything is inseparable from the word 'money'.

There was such a saying in the previous life of the Heavenly Dynasty.

‘I would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on the back of a bicycle’.

From here we can also see how important a secular thing like money is.

Higashinoji is a person who does not have high material needs and does not have much desire for money.

But when his parents pass away, how to get enough living expenses is what he needs to consider.

You can’t let Chihaya Higashino think about how to make money, right?

He walked to the desk and pulled out a pale yellow envelope from the drawer.

Tonoji opened the envelope.

What comes into view are comic printouts with drawn characters and even laid out backgrounds.

Yes, draw comics.

This is what he thought of.

In fact, Higashinoji has already started preparing his first comic.

Because he himself also knew that if he continued to sit on the mountain and eat nothing, he and Higashino Chihaya would not starve to death, but they would definitely not live a comfortable life.

Even though he could earn 5,000 yen from drawing at Shibuya Station, he was actually taking advantage of a legal loophole.

Street painters are indeed allowed to paint in Tokyo, but they are limited to painting and charging is not allowed.

If you really want to sell paintings at a street stall for a fee, you have to go to a special Tokyo street stall to set up street stalls or a local special festival.

It’s also that Higashinoji is a veteran. With his excellent painting skills and the good skin of the original owner, he has made a lot of money from the takeaway comic paintings.

But this was a precarious job, so Higashino thought of drawing comics.

As for why Higashinoji didn’t follow the traditional painter route he took in his previous life?

Stop talking about it.

Higashinoji is sure to become famous.

After all, he had the experience of being a painter in his previous life, and he also carried a system with him. He was born to take a big step forward than others, and he would never starve to death.

But - it is too slow for traditional painters to become famous, it takes too much time!

This thing needs time to settle slowly.

Although it is not a good idea to say this from former painter Higashino Tsukasa, most of the bottom and middle-level professional painters rely on fame.

Otherwise, how come there are so many ‘masters’ in China who can ‘shoot ink’, ‘jet ink’ or even draw with ‘mops’?

That's not called painting, that's called playing tricks.

But laymen like to watch tricks, what can be done?

How good are you at drawing? So what? If you are unknown, then it has no commercial value, and this painting is just a piece of waste paper!

What's more, Japan is even more extreme than China. It is a capitalist society with clearly defined superiors and subordinates.

This depends even more on academic qualifications and qualifications.

I am only a high school student at the moment, so why should I fight with other talented students who graduated from the top five art academies in Tokyo?

Hit him on the head?

It’s okay to create, but the prerequisite for creating is to have a full stomach first. Let Higashinoji start as a traditional painter?

It would be safer to let Higashino jump down from the top floor with his eyes closed to see if he can travel through time again.

Going out to work a part-time job is more reliable than this!

In addition, Higashino Chihaya didn't have much time to wait, so Higashinoji thought about it and there was only one way to use his painting skills.

comics!

This is not a conclusion reached lightly.

Higashino Division has conducted a detailed investigation.

First of all, the threshold for comics is actually very low.

As long as you are an individual, you can draw with your hands, and once you have drawn, you can directly submit the manuscript. Once the manuscript is submitted, you can get money directly from the publishing house.

Secondly, the cost of drawing comics is not high.

Starting from traditional painters, Higashinoji would be exhausted just from all kinds of professional painting tools - painting has always been a noble profession.

In addition, 2003 was the period when the Japanese comics industry was in pain. The comics industry was in an overall state of sluggishness due to the lack of excellent original works and scripts.

This is a great opportunity for Higashinoji.

As mentioned before, Higashinoji is a time traveler. It took him a month to adapt to Japanese society in 2003.

After the first day of confusion and surprise, Higashinoji quickly came out and began to investigate the current situation in Japan.

Of course, Japan is still the same Japan, and overall, not much has changed. But perhaps due to God’s will, Japan in this world lacks many excellent works from its previous life.

Not just comics.

Starting from literature, paintings, TV series, and movies, there are many names that Higashinoji is familiar with missing from all walks of life.

Without Natsume Soseki's literary statement "The Moon is Beautiful", without Kawabata Yasunari's "Izu Dancer" and "Snow Country", there would also be no outstanding Japanese horror movies such as "The Ring" and "The Grudge".

But it’s a pity——

Higashikata was a little helpless.

In his previous life, as a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts, he was exposed to famous paintings from various countries. As for literature and popular comics?

To be honest, Higashinoji really doesn't know very well.

I have heard of some famous Japanese comics, such as One Piece and Conan, and I have some impressions of them. It would be okay to draw one or two chapters, but it is impossible to serialize them into a long series.

So Higashinoji really envies the protagonists of Qidian.com.

They can easily 'print' the comics, novels, etc. they want from their minds and then sell them for money.

If I had the power of this humanoid printer, would I still have to worry about eating?

Fortunately, Higashinoji was a well-known painter in his previous life. Although he had not read many comics, he had read a lot of Japanese dramas and movies.

I paint in the studio, and when I get bored, I just grab my phone and watch it.

I remember all the plots such as "The Ring", "The Grudge", "Unnatural Death", "The White Tower", "The Lonely Gourmet" and so on, and there are very few things that I can't recall.

But Higashinoji is not a film and television major, and the system bonus is in painting. He can't be allowed to sacrifice his strengths and weaknesses and try his luck at a TV station by writing TV scripts, right?

Every other line is like a mountain!

Do you really want Higashinoji to try his luck in writing? That must have forced Zhang Fei to write a military book - nonsense.

There is no need for him to sacrifice the strengths for the weaknesses.

Moreover, Higashinoji himself is not bad at drawing, and he has system bonuses. In addition, he has a rough impression of the wonderful scripts of famous movies and TV series that were popular in Japan and many other regions in his previous life.

Adapting them into comics will definitely make a huge sum of money from the Japanese comics industry, which is currently in a trough.

People can't be held back by money.

All kinds of learning, recalling, and deliberation.

It took two or three weeks, and the comic called "Midnight Ring" was finally born under the hands of Higashikata Higashino.

The new book has just been written and will be published with three chapters and will be updated twice a day——
