Tokyo life starting with painting

To be honest, Higashinoji was a little surprised when he received the news that his mainstay "Investigation Team" from Shin Iwazuki Publishing House was urgently stopped from serialization, and even the release of the single book was cancelled.

Because there are two main ethical communities in the Japanese publishing industry, namely the Japan Publishing Ethics Association and the Publishing Ethics Symposium.

The members of the former are composed of the Japan Book Publishing Association, the Japan Magazine Association, the Japan Publishing Association, and the Japan Bookstore Business Association Federation.

The latter is composed of the Collection Ethics Committee and the Comics Issues Committee.

That is to say, these two publishing ethics communities control the publishing standards of Japanese publishing houses.

But these two major ethics organizations basically don't do anything.

Because in essence, they do not belong to government agencies, but to institutions within the publishing industry. To use a derogatory term, it is actually equivalent to stealing from others.

So basically every publication published by a publishing house will turn a blind eye and will not really strictly review it at all.

Otherwise, some black-hearted publishing houses in Japan would be allowed to publish the autobiographies of some murderers? Is the autobiography of a murderer good for adolescent psychology?

The reason is that the two major ethics organizations are not government agencies.

As long as something can make money and is topical, it can be published.

That's why Tonoji was surprised.

How did this Horikoshi Hanpei, uh, this comic book author who committed suicide, end up so miserably?

Even single book sales have been cancelled, which is a huge problem.

As we all know, the main income of a comic book author comes from the sales of single volumes of comics. Even if the work is animated, the money earned is less than one-tenth of the sales of single volumes.

This is equivalent to cutting off Horikoshi Hanping's financial path.

Higashinoji couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, so he simply used the power of the Internet to scan the comments on this matter on the Internet.

Then it dawned on him.

It turns out that Hanpei Horikoshi adapted this year's particularly controversial case into a plot in the comics, and forcibly consumed the deceased.

This behavior is a bit malicious, and because "Chiyo" published by New Iwazuki Publishing House is a comic magazine sold nationwide, it is widely circulated.

Therefore, the family members of the deceased knew that Horikoshi Hanpei forced himself to make fun of the deceased.

The victim's family, still reeling from the death of their daughter, is naturally very angry at this dirty and dirty behavior.

They sent several legal letters directly to the editorial department of Chiyo, and also expressed the hope that Hanpei Horikoshi could apologize to his dead daughter in public.

The editorial department of "Chiyo" also dealt with it very quickly and forcibly stopped the serialization of Horikoshi Hanpei's "Investigation Team" and also issued an announcement to apologize.

Originally, things should have ended here.

As long as Horikoshi Hanpei admits his mistake and says that it was actually an 'unintentional mistake' and that he did not deliberately make fun of the victims, the matter will be over.

As it turns out, I don’t know who dug up what Horikoshi Hanpei posted on social media two days ago against Higashinoji’s Three Principles of Comics—this guy is actually a habitual offender! It wasn’t an honest mistake at all!

Old and new grudges, coupled with the fact that Horikoshi Hanpei had no intention of apologizing in public, made many onlookers angry.

After all, everyone has a conscience. Of course some people can't stand it when they see someone making fun of the tragedy of a girl who was abused for 41 days.

The dead are great.

This statement is actually common in any country.

And because of Horikoshi Hanpei's mindless words and deeds, the fire was immediately burned on the ethics associations of the two major publishing houses.

These two publishing ethics associations had no intention of stopping the serialization of Horikoshi Hanpei's single volume.

But when the media and the Internet exposed the remarks he openly posted on social media.

They were also a little speechless.

They are simply pig teammates! Even if you want to protect it, you can’t!

You could have brushed things off with just "an honest mistake, not intentional", but you ended up leaving such a handle on social media?

If you seek death yourself, then you can't blame others.

The two major ethics associations immediately canceled the serialization of Horikoshi Hanpei's single volume as an apology to the angry public.

When he saw this, Touyoshi couldn't help but shake his head.

Isn't this Horikoshi Hanpei too capable of seeking death?

It is already unforgivable to joke about the victims.

As a result, you didn’t remove those dirty marks before doing this. No wonder you deserve to die.

Higashikata shook his head, feeling a little weird in his heart.

Logically speaking, the average adult male should not be as mindless as Horikoshi Hanpei.

After all, Horikoshi Hanpei's behavior is childish at best, and like a giant baby at worst, doing things and saying things without considering the consequences.

Sure enough, there are quite a lot of weird things in this world, which cannot be measured by common sense.

But to be honest, aside from Horikoshi Hanpei, Higashinoji actually became the biggest beneficiary of this matter in a sense.

The biggest difference is that many media reporters have published articles like this——

‘Both are manga authors, Mr. Higashino compares with Hanpei Horikoshi. ’

The comparison at the beginning was between the three principles proposed by Higashinoji, the attitude of respecting the victims, and the behavior of Hanpei Horikoshi who had no respect and used the dead for consumption.

Later, this comparison was modified by various media reporters and even netizens.

What's the comparison between Higashino Tsukasa and Horikoshi Hanpei's manga, which one is better? ’ ‘Comparison of the painting skills of Higashinoji and Horikoshi Hanpei’.

Later on, the magic transformation became even more extreme, directly comparing the appearance of Higashinoji and Horikoshi.

After comparing these various magically modified versions, many readers discovered that there is no comparability at all.

He can't draw comics as well as Higashinoji, his appearance isn't as good as Higashinoji's, and his ability to make money is even worse than Higashinoji's. What value does Horikoshi Hanpei have?

Under various calls, Higashinoji's status among comic book authors has been elevated to a level that he himself could not imagine.

Even Hosokawa Koharu called and said that it would be better for Higashinoji not to publish social manuscripts in person in the future, because the front of the publishing house was already occupied by Higashinoji's fans.

This really didn't occur to Higashinoji.

The reason why he proposed the three principles of comic creation was simply to pass on the thoughts of his previous life, Osamu Tezuka, and he had no intention of becoming famous through this incident.

It can only be said that Horikoshi Hanpei is quite powerful. Before he killed himself, he even tried his best to lift his hand, Higashinoji.

And for such a person, of course Tonoji smiled and stabbed him on social media to make him die faster.

Higashinoji was relaxed and happy here. Not only did he wait for the release date of the single book, he also inexplicably picked up a large piece of pie that fell from the sky.

As the editor-in-chief of the manga department of New Iwazuki Publishing House, Seo was tortured to the point of numbness by the magical operation of his pig teammate this time.

Originally, he wanted to run it through the sales of Horikoshi Hanpei's "Investigation and Search Team" single book, at least to raise Horikoshi Hanpei's reputation to a higher level.

The results of it?

Horikoshi Hanpei not only cheated himself with his random show, but their editorial department also wanted to find a comic that could replace his work.

This is simply killing someone.

After Horikoshi Hanpei's solo show, the morale of New Iwazuki Publishing House, which had been gradually rising, also suffered a heavy blow.

It’s really a good example of one person bringing down the entire editorial department.

but

"It's still our editors who don't review the manuscript carefully."

Chief Editor Seo sighed deeply.

If the author thinks he is a pillar, he will let down his guard and not review the manuscript seriously. This is what often happens between editors.

In a sense, they themselves also have to bear part of the responsibility.

Moreover

Recalling the scene in which the family members of the victims questioned him and Shiniwa Publishing House with tears in their eyes, Editor-in-Chief Seo also felt a pain in his chest.

Although as editor-in-chief, he has to consider the publishing house.

But Horikoshi Hanpei unscrupulously joked about the deceased, which undoubtedly touched the bottom line of editor-in-chief Seo.

He sat at his desk and thought for a long time before finally calling the deputy editor and the heads of major editorial teams to announce what was on his mind.

"I decided to cut off "Investigation and Search Team" in half. What do you think?"

".Are you kidding? Chief Editor Seo?"

An editorial team leader below raised his head in disbelief.

""Investigation Team" has indeed lost a lot of fans because of this incident, but even so, it is currently the mainstay work of our New Iwazhu Publishing House. As long as we spend time running it, the public opinion storm will definitely calm down. This It’s still a work that can make money.”

As the editorial leader said, "Investigation Search Team" is the main work of New Rock Publishing House. If it is cut in half, it will definitely be a big loss for New Rock Publishing House.

But Chief Editor Seo has obviously considered this.

He shook his head and continued: "I have already thought about it. If the work is gone, I can find a replacement. Even if the main work is gone, it will be the same."

But what if the person is gone?

Editor-in-chief Seo asked himself.

A young girl was abused and violated before her death, and finally her body was sealed in a concrete pillar.

What is the mood of her family?

"To be honest, I think Mr. Higashino's three principles of comics are very good. Before you learn to draw comics, you must first learn how to be a human being."

Editor-in-chief Seo turned to the editorial team leader who just spoke: "These three principles apply not only to comics, but also to publishing houses. At least that's what I think."

Editor-in-chief Seo relied on his love for comics to get to where he is now. He couldn't stand Horikoshi Hanpei's behavior.

"But if we cut off "Investigation and Search Team", how can we find the next mainstay comic?" Another editorial team leader asked.

"Our New Rock Publishing House is a giant publishing house, and we have many outstanding comic book authors. At the very least, we will find new mainstay authors. Editors, don't underestimate the strength of our publishing house."

Editor-in-chief Seo said this, and finally gave this group of editors a boost of confidence: "Don't worry, if sales are affected because we can't find the main author, all the responsibility will be borne by me, and I will take the initiative to resign."

Well.

The editor below looked around, and his objections suddenly became smaller.

After all, this is what Chief Editor Seo said.

"Then it's decided." Editor-in-chief Seo glanced around and found that no one continued to object, so he simply made a decision: "Cut "Research Team" in half, and at the same time, terminate all relations with the manga author Horikoshi Hanpei. cooperate."

"yes!"

Now that the decision has been made, the editors below did not hesitate and responded in unison.

If you should contact the legal department, go to the legal department. If you should notify Horikoshi Hanpei, inform the other party. There is also a replacement work for "Investigation Team" next week. These are all a lot of work that needs to be done.

They were busy in an instant.

Seeing these editors working hard, Editor-in-Chief Seo was also inexplicably pleased.

If he really can't find a work that can serve as the backbone of "Chiyo", he will abide by what he said at the meeting today and take the initiative to resign and take responsibility.

But before that

"Let's make an apology call to the victim's family first."

Chief Editor Seo sighed.

He never convinced Horikoshi Hanpei to apologize in public.

And this is also the most important reason why he decided to terminate cooperation with the other party.

After all, from a human perspective, Horikoshi Hanpei still has too many shortcomings.

For this reason, as the editor-in-chief, he had no choice but to clean up the mess himself.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Horikoshi Hanpei looked at the criticism of him on the Internet and in some magazines, and opened fire, his face turning red with aggrievedness.

But soon, he seemed to have thought of something and started laughing again.

The Publication Ethics Committee just stopped the serialization of his comics this week and the release of this week's single volume.

At worst, I'll revise the comic content next week and then continue serializing it.

So does the stand-alone book.

Horikoshi Hanpei didn't believe that Shin-Iwazuki Publishing House would let go of his flagship author.

Probably the mentality is that if you say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

As soon as he thought of Xinyanzhu Publishing House, he immediately got a call from there.

"Are you notifying me that serialization will resume next week?"

Horikoshi Hanpei murmured to himself with a smile, and then reached out to take the phone.

Then

"Terminate all cooperation? Are you kidding? Editor Mizuki? I can continue to draw "Research and Search Team"!"

"I'm sorry, this is the result of the meeting between the editor-in-chief and the editorial team leader. Mr. Horikoshi."

What was the result after the meeting?

Horikoshi Hanpei showed an incredulous expression, and after a while he said: "Have you really thought about it? According to the contract, I can even take "Research and Search Team" to Tomishima Publishing House for serialization!"

"As you please."

Editor Minakami over there still spoke in a calm tone: "I have work to do next. Sorry, Mr. Horikoshi, hang up now."

Following a blind tone, the phone hung up.

At the same time, Horikoshi Hanpei took a deep breath.

subsequently

He punched the table hard.

Bastard!

Cut my work in half! Then don't blame me for being heartless! I’m going to find other publishers with my work! When the time comes that you beg me, I won’t come back!

He yelled in his mind.

That is, under such various circumstances.

The first single volume of Higashino Tsukasa's "Naoki Hansawa" is finally on sale

Thanks to Yi Eternal Yi for the reward! Thank you so much!
