Tokyo life starting with painting

Kazuya Akasaka is a professional manga reviewer.

The name of this profession may sound bluffing, but in fact it is similar to that of a drama critic or a film critic. They are both professions that comment on other people's works from a high position.

But unlike freelance writers, Akasaka Kazu also has a serious job.

He is affiliated with Asajin, a magazine owned by Fuji Publishing.

As a contracted writer, his main job is also to do shady things.

In a nutshell, it is actually praising the comics of Fuji Publishing House and belittling the comics of the other three major publishers. This kind of discrediting other people's company operations is actually quite common in Japan.

Why does school bullying affect children's physical and mental health? Why is this storyboard stretched too long and cutting off the sense of space? Anyway, Akasaka Kazuya just opened his mouth.

As long as the works of the other three major agencies are written by him, they will basically not have any good results. At most, they will be rated as "barely watchable" by three stars.

Even though everyone knows that he wrote these articles from the standpoint of Fuji Publishing.

But there are also some people who like this taste, so the overall sales of "Chao Jin" are even pretty good.

After all, Kazuya Akasaka is not just making random comments, every point he makes is well-founded and convincing.

As a contracted writer for the magazine, today's Fuji Publishing House has assigned Akasaka Kazuya another task -

‘Urashima Publishing House has published a comic called “Midnight Ring”, and you are pissed off when you look at it. ’

As a senior troll, this is Akasaka Kazuya’s best trick.

So he bought "The Cold" from Urashima Publishing House early. He also prepared paper and pen next to it, put two glasses of water, and planned to pass it through.

"'Midnight Ring'? Teacher Higashino will bring you the purest fear?"

Akasaka Kazuya curled his lips.

He didn't know how many times he had read the slogan on the cover, and he was tired of aesthetics.

So he moved his hand and wrote on the paper next to him, "The slogan lacks new ideas."

Then, he skipped the table of contents and turned to the first page.

This time the target is "Midnight Ring". Akasaka Kazuya's purpose is very pure. He doesn't even look at other comics and just goes for "Midnight Ring".

His hand was very steady, and he immediately turned to the cover of "Midnight Ring". After a cursory glance at the cover, he found that the overall painting of the cover was quite exquisite, which made people feel chilled. There was really nothing to complain about, and he Then he turned to the main content.

After a few concise storyboards at the beginning, the time, place and characters are clearly explained, and then we quickly get to the point.

This sense of pleasure was something Akasaka Kazuya had never felt before after reading comics for many years. He looked at the blank paper and thought about it for a long time but couldn't find the point to spray, so he could only continue downwards.

Entering the plot, it opens with two little girls talking, one named Tomoko and the other Tomoko.

As the plot progressed, Akasaka Kazuya immediately understood that the time at the top of the storyboard just now refers to the time of death. It is estimated that the person cursed by the cursed video will die in a week.

If you look at it this way, this is just an ordinary phone ghost story. It's quite cliche. You can comment on this and remember it.

There is another line of words on the blank note.

But to be fair, Akasaka Kazuya actually vaguely felt that the quality of this comic was really high. At least the more he read, the more he felt cold in his heart, his chest felt like there was a stone, and a sense of fear rose up inexplicably. .

The line of sight also seems to be slightly misaligned, as if the things in "The Ring" will immediately jump out of the painting and come to reality.

How is that possible? !

Akasaka Kazuya shook off all these distracting thoughts and gave himself a breath.

I'm a professional troll! To implement the professional ethics of trolls, we must not make things easier for the author of "The Ring".

So he continued to look down.

At this time, Tomoko in the manga has already begun to tell the story of the cursed video to Tomoko, but Tomoko's expression is not right, and she looks like she is forcing a smile.

Akasaka Kazuya could guess the reason for this reaction. It was probably because Tomoko watched the curse video.

Although the author used a bit of exaggeration in the next frame to make Tomoko's face look particularly ferocious, it was still too young to scare Akasaka Kazuya.

Akasaka Kazuya shook his head. After all, he was someone who had read horror comics for so many years. It would be too difficult to scare him.

then--

There was a crash.

Tomoko's finger suddenly raised, as if pointing at Akasaka Kazuya outside the comics, and a strange and twisted scream seemed to explode in Akasaka Kazuya's ears——

"You'll be dead within a week!"

Snapped!

Akasaka Kazuya rolled directly off the chair, looking at everything in front of him in horror.

In front of him, the black-haired Tomoko's red lips were twisted, and her beautiful face was as terrifying as a man-eating plant.

That snow-white finger passed through the comics and pointed directly at him, a person in the real world.

"Whoop, whoop, whoop"

Akasaka Kazuya felt his body getting cold, his teeth collided violently up and down, and his eyes looked at everything in front of him unimaginably.

How can this be? !

Reading a horror comic and seeing yourself as a vision? !

Akasaka Kazuya felt as if he had become Tomoko in the painting, shrouded in fear and despair, trying to escape but unable to escape at all.

After a while, Akasaka Kazuya suddenly came to his senses and realized that the surroundings were still the same.

In front of him, "The Ring" was spread out to the back page.

At this time, Tomoko had already told Tomoko about the strange things that happened during the trip to Izu Island.

She also watched the video of the curse and was scared at this time.

Shadows linger silently.

The window outside the window has been swallowed up by darkness, and everything can't be seen clearly, showing an ominous sign.

In this extremely depressing situation, Tomoko and Tomoko looked at each other, and then——

Jingle Bell! ! !

the phone is ringing!

Terror strikes again!

"Midnight Ring" is over!

"Hoo" Akasaka Kazuya closed "Aversion to Cold" with sweat on his face, but he felt an indescribable feeling of anxiety in his heart.

He really wanted to see the follow-up!

What happened next? What should Tomoko and Tomoko do? ! What will happen?

Yes, even though he was scared, he still wanted to see it!

Because this is so exciting! More exciting than riding a roller coaster!

"Watch it again."

Akasaka Kazuya let out a breath and reached out to turn on the TV.

He was a little embarrassed.

After all, I had just been completely immersed in the world of "The Ring" and was scared to death.

So this time, he wanted to watch "The Ring" again in a relatively relaxed state to find a place where he could squirt.

Turning on the TV is a way for him to adjust and relax mentally.

"This time, let's start with the cover. It's impossible for a horror comic that I've read once to scare me again."

Akasaka Kazuya put on the TV and turned on "The Ring".

This time, he will start from the cover
