Tokyo life starting with painting

Chapter 365 Super Luxurious Setting Collection (4000 words)

Seeing the Asano branch president in the comics kneeling down heavily to Hanzawa Naoki, Kanzaki Hiroshi took a deep breath and felt as if the other person's disobedience was smashed into his heart.

Hansawa Naoki won and the stigma on himself was washed away. This made him feel happy and at the same time had an indescribable sweetness.

In Kanzaki Hiroshi's view, Hansawa Naoki is different from the male protagonists of ordinary hot-blooded comics. As a bank employee, Hansawa Naoki can always complete his work affairs perfectly, unlike some banks. Do things like taking advantage of the fire, borrowing umbrellas on sunny days, and taking away umbrellas on rainy days.

This makes Hiroshi Kanzaki, who only sees it from the perspective of ordinary people, very satisfied.

He is mature and scheming, and will not give in even if he is in a head-to-head confrontation with his boss, and he uses various means to win.

This is really good, and it makes him, an office worker, happy to see it.

Especially when Higashinoji depicts the final scene.

Asano Branch Manager looked at Naoki Hansawa with fear. He knew that Naoki Hansawa, who had mastered all the evidence, would definitely drag him into a place of no return.

Here, Higashinoji also gave a close-up of the expression of Branch Manager Asano.

Fear and confusion drained the man's strength, and he was so frightened that his lips were trembling.

He staggered out from behind the desk, held Hanzawa Naoki's hand, hoping to beg his forgiveness.

Because if Naoki Hansawa insists on reporting him and sending the evidence to the police station, he will also go to jail for this matter and spend his whole life in prison.

The most important thing is that if he goes to prison, his family will have no one to take care of him.

A sense of tension and oppression instantly came to Branch Manager Asano, and the lines that Tonoji deliberately drew one by one with a G pen took effect.

It makes the atmosphere of the whole picture more oppressive and tense.

From the beginning, President Asano begged with a fearful look on his face, to even pleading at the end, and then to the expression of Naoki Hansawa wailing and calling the names of his family members when he left.

The eyebrow angles, face shape, and even the overall changes in expression are completely different.

This drastic change in expression made Hiroshi Kanzaki feel complicated in his heart.

A man, a successful man, cried like a child.

Maybe this is what adults are.

Collapse is often a matter of moments.

This can also be seen from the side. President Asano attaches great importance to his family.

Hiroshi Kanzaki felt inexplicably sympathetic to this man.

As soon as this feeling emerged from his heart, Kanzaki Hiroshi couldn't help but admire Higashinoji.

It was clear that President Asano was portrayed in a way that made readers want to kill him with a knife, but now he actually arouses readers' sympathy.

This kind of character creation ability is indeed extraordinary.

But as Naoki Hansawa said, ‘Don’t think that you are the only one who has a family. 'Same.

Sympathy does not mean forgiveness.

Hanzawa Naoki also has a family, and her wife Hanzawa Hana also received a lot of cold looks because of the Asano branch president.

He turned around and left, also closing off the last way out for Branch Manager Asano.

The confrontation between the two ended here.

Kanzaki Hiroto looked slightly dazed. He was indeed in a daze.

Because he knows that this is just reading comics.

The comic is obviously just a fictional plot created by the author.

But it was obviously this fictional plot. Why did it make him so emotional?

Hiroshi Kanzaki shook his head vigorously, throwing all these miscellaneous thoughts out of his mind, and looked back at "Naoki Hansawa" in his hand.

nice! Really pretty!

It can be said that the twentieth chapter of Higashinoji's episode was completely beyond his expectations.

He is indeed the number one person in the Japanese comics industry! It's really awesome!

Hiroshi Kanzaki turned to the end.

In fact, Hansawa Naoki did not kill the Asano branch president in the end, and did not send the Asano branch president to prison.

This ending is actually pretty good.

Hanzawa Naoki still retained a trace of warmth until the end.

He followed what his father told him when he was a child, "We must pay attention to the relationship between people."

The handling of this ending also makes Hansawa Naoki's characterization closer to a real 'person' rather than a plot shaping tool.

In contrast, "Investigation Search Team", which was re-serialized by Iwazuki Publishing House next door, somewhat disappointed Kanzaki Hiroshi.

Originally, "Investigation Team" was modeled after "Unnatural Death".

However, this work was very fast, and serialization started almost as soon as "Unnatural Death" was finished.

Moreover, the plot of "Investigation Search Team" is also remarkable, so it is appreciated by many comic readers.

But now "Research and Search Team".

Not to mention that the plot is similar to Higashino Tsukasa's "Unnatural Death".

But anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that many places are modeled after "Unnatural Death".

This made Hiroshi Kanzaki couldn't help but shake his head.

Horikoshi Hanpei in "Investigation Team" is obviously a model of trying to get a porcelain job without diamonds.

It's really not feasible to forcefully follow the trend even though you obviously don't have the ability to create a plot as outstanding as "Unnatural Death".

Even the friendship and romance that "Investigation Team" worked hard to create, to be honest, Kanzaki Hiroshi felt that it was not as good as the friendship between Hansawa Naoki, Kondo, and Watari at the same time.

This can be regarded as a model of opening high and going low.

However, Hiroshi Kanzaki had long since stopped caring about the investigation team's situation.

He opened the webpage and found that there were indeed many readers of "Hansawa Naoki" discussing the plot of this episode.

Many people think that Hansawa Naoki's last act of caring about favors can be said to be very humane, and he also achieved his goal of successfully climbing up the ladder.

And the tense atmosphere that "Hansawa Naoki" has been exaggerating is finally relieved at this moment.

This made a group of office workers who were also watching "Naoki Hansawa" feel very comfortable. Higashinoji really lived up to their expectations!

And anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current rhythm of "Hansawa Naoki" can be said to be very good.

Many comic readers went to the official website of "Heshi" to ask Higashino to draw faster.

This situation made the editors of "Heshi" extremely speechless.

But Higashinoji's fans have always been like this, no matter how much they feed them, they can't get enough.

Seeing that the topic of "Hansawa Naoki" is once again becoming popular, and taking advantage of this popularity, "Heshi" immediately issued an announcement stating that the next single volume of "Hansawa Naoki" will be released, and I hope everyone will support it.

I have to say that the marketing department of Tomishima Publishing House is a typical example of genius.

See "Naoki Hansawa" once again set off a craze.

The Marketing Department quickly changed the release date of the "Naoki Hansawa" Deluxe Character Collection and ranked it on the release date of the volume "Naoki Hansawa"

This is equivalent to bundled sales.

Readers can choose to buy the "Naoki Hansawa" Deluxe Character Collection, which comes with a single volume, or purchase the single volume separately, two options.

The so-called "luxury character collection" is actually a sales method for the publishing house.

Publishers will publish special editions of popular works, which are so-called "luxury setting collections".

This version is usually A4 deformed (small 16 karat), priced at 1,000 yen or more.

At the same time, it also comes with a number of color pictures, mainly focusing on settings, character introductions, famous scenes (for example, the section about Asano Branch Chief Doge's seat), interviews, and sometimes there are extra chapters specially drawn by the author.

Of course, Higashinoji has no interest in drawing another extra chapter for this simple money-making thing.

At most, he cooperated with the publishing house to conduct interviews and summarize the character.

But for this kind of cheating stuff, Tomishima Publishing’s marketing department directly priced it at 2,200 yen (including a single book).

This made Touyesi dumbfounded when he saw it.

If it’s not just this kind of thing, do you expect someone to spend so much money on it?

But the end result was jaw-dropping.

There are really people buying this luxurious character collection.

It's even popular enough to be reprinted.

But since the luxury design collection is selling well, of course he, the original author, will also take 10% of the commission - this has been agreed from the beginning.

And forget about that.

On the other hand, the sales volume of single books has not dropped at all.

This shows that many readers not only bought the deluxe setting collection, but also bought the stand-alone book.

So rich!

Higashikata had no choice but to sigh.

He doesn't understand the Japanese culture of collecting one book and reading the other.

But this is nothing to Higashinoji.

Compared with this, he is actually more concerned about the sales volume of "Hansawa Naoki".

You must know that this volume has used all his strength, and it is also a big climax. If the sales volume is still the same as the previous volumes.

That's fine

Although it cannot be said to be disappointing, there is definitely a sense of gap when the psychological expectations are not met.

This is also the mood of the editors at Tomishima Publishing House’s manga editorial department.

When the marketing department was greedy for petty advantages and forcibly bundled this volume of "Hansawa Naoki" for sale, the entire Tomishima Publishing Manga Editorial Department also had a gloomy look on their face, wanting to eat up everyone in the marketing department.

Because even if the deluxe setting collection sells hundreds of thousands of copies, the sales will only be counted on the deluxe setting collection, not this time "Naoki Hansawa".

This is likely to drag down the sales of "Naoki Hansawa" this time, thus affecting the record-breaking performance of "Naoki Hansawa"

To be more serious, the marketing department has affected the performance of their comic editing department this time.

Of course they won't look good.

Especially the editor-in-chief Urashima was so angry that he took Hosokawa Koharu to the marketing department one day, wishing he could roll up his sleeves and start a fight right now.

Of course, Hosokawa Koharu was also furious. She was the editor directly under Tonoji. Yesterday she dreamed of becoming a famous editor, but today she suddenly became like this.

The dream of becoming an editor was shattered.

And your marketing side is full of fat! But what about our comics editorial department?

We have also invested a lot of publicity resources, just to make "Naoki Hansawa" a blockbuster.

In addition, treasure comics like "Naoki Hansawa" are the lifeblood of our publishing house! How could you do such a thing?

Anyway, it’s noisy.

From time to time, Editor-in-Chief Urashima would drag out the marketing department and beat them to death.

no way!

So infuriating!

And when Higashinoji finally learned about this from Hosokawa Koharu, he couldn't stop laughing.

This kind of small theater of Tomishima Publishing House is really interesting.

But it is obvious that the editor-in-chief Urashima still underestimated the potential of the twentieth chapter of "Hansawa Naoki".

The fact that the single volume and the deluxe set collection were released on the same date did not affect readers' enthusiasm for buying it at all.

On the first day, it sold a total of 180,000 volumes across the country. The sales volume in one day was as much as the total sales volume of other comics in a week.

This situation can be said to be great!

Just looking at the sales volume, the sales volume of this single volume will exceed three million volumes.

This can no longer be said to be a gradual growth, but a real explosive growth.

Editor-in-chief Urashima was no longer in a hurry to fight with the marketing department, and came back to take charge of the overall situation again.

Sell! Sell ​​more! Sell ​​more!

On the other side, the marketing department saw that Higashino Tsukasa's "Naoki Hansawa" still had such great potential, but they just bit their tongues and hated it - why not tie it up with something and sell it? !

This is too popular!

They also want to do another deluxe set collection, this time directly named 'Higashino Super Luxury Set Set' - together with Higashino Tsui's "Unnatural Death" and "Midnight Ring" and other comic works The settings are all set together to create a hodgepodge, and you can also add some figurine gadgets in the middle. The price is 6666 yen and sold.

Well, they have figured out this kind of sexy operation.

Although Editor-in-Chief Urashima was busy in the manga editorial department, he did not let down his vigilance this time and made a cut in the middle. This prevented the birth of the "Super·Deluxe Setting Collection".

Hosokawa Koharu was speechless and choked for a long time.

Can you guys stop thinking about Higashinoji? Our Tomishima Publishing House does not just have the manga "Naoki Hansawa".

Suzuki Ha and Kuromiya Meisa are also excellent manga authors, right?

You can't treat them like salted fish, right?

Anyway, there was another wrangling later.

The marketing department thinks that the comic editors are all idiots and don't make any money.

The comics editorial department felt that the marketing department was just here to cause trouble. They didn't understand anything and only had money in their minds.

This was so noisy that the current actual leader of Tomishima Publishing House, President Osawa, came out to mediate.

Since the manga editorial department has achieved a lot this year, President Osawa turned to Urashima as the chief editor.

He also felt that he should not just look at the current petty gains, but should look at more ambitious goals.

After hearing this, the marketing department finally became weak, and the 'Super·Deluxe Setting Collection' plan was directly axed.

When he learned the result, Higashino was speechless for a long time.

He finally saw the integrity of the Japanese publishing industry.

It’s true that whatever can make money and whatever has a topic is published.

In the past, when he saw that those murderers could publish books, he thought it was a bit incredible.

Now it seems

The Japanese publishing industry is indeed amazing.

It is also in these noisy, busy days that come and go

The sales volume of "Naoki Hansawa" finally exceeded 2.5 million volumes and is heading towards the goal of 3 million volumes.
