Tokyo life starting with painting

It has never been a secret that "Naoki Hansawa" aims to be number one in Japan.

Everyone in the comic book publishing industry has noticed it.

But like this, near the end of the manga, a higher level of emotion suddenly burst out.

This is simply putting the banner of " marching towards Japan's No. 1" in the faces of major publishing houses.

But the major publishing houses have no temper at all.

It's no use having a temper.

The quality of "Naoki Hansawa" is obvious to all. It is the kind of quality that everyone can only look up and take a look at.

So it’s really normal for “Naoki Hansawa” to take first place.

At the same time, some forums on the Internet also started discussions.

‘Higashino-sensei’s “Naoki Hansawa” is expected to be number one! I just got inside information. I heard that "Naoki Hansawa" has a 90% positive rating from readers! ’

'real or fake? 90%? Such a high praise rate? ’

‘I also heard that Higashino-san has been drawing alone without hiring a painting assistant. Thinking about it this way, this guy is too scary, right? Could it be a robot running from the future? ’

'No, no, no, I heard Higashino-san is an alien.'

People's opinions generally vary.

Some people couldn't help but post a sigh.

Some people questioned.

There were also people booing and making various exclamations below.

But what is surprising is that.

Under the posts related to "Hansawa Naoki", there are very few comments that say that the manga "Hansawa Naoki" is a piece of shit, not good at all, and not interesting at all.

Just like the previous works such as "Naruto", "Doraemon" and "Dragon Ball".

You can say in your heart that it is totally meaningless and not good-looking at all.

But if you post it in the online comment area, or in places like Tieba or Weibo.

Then within ten seconds, you will definitely be scolded to pieces.

Because once the quality of a work reaches a certain level, people will spread it by word of mouth, and everyone will subconsciously think that it is beautiful. Even if you really think that the work is boring.

And "Naoki Hansawa" has obviously reached this level of word-of-mouth spread.

As long as you are young, you will have watched "Naoki Hansawa".

Even if you haven’t seen it, you must have heard about it and recommended it from your friends.

This is a work that deserves to be treated as such.

Putting aside these miscellaneous posts, there are also some serious analysts.

One of the posts is quite famous and has received thousands of replies.

""Naoki Hansawa" is undoubtedly the best comic I have read in the past few years. It is different from the previous formats of passionate comics. There is no passionate male protagonist, no inverted heroine, and similarly, there are no monsters or monsters. "Superpower" tells the story of a bank employee struggling to survive in a huge financial institution."

"Logically speaking, this kind of story would not have any highlights because everyone will encounter unfair treatment when working in the workplace. But these workplace encounters are portrayed so realistically in Higashino-san's writings , as if the skin was torn open with a knife, directly exposing the muscles underneath, giving people an inexplicable and spicy sense of reality."

"Money was robbed, people were betrayed, and they were knocked down many times. Perhaps in reality, justice may not necessarily win, but in the story written by Higashino-san, the boss with a high social status was knocked to the ground, and he felt depressed in his heart. It is this plot of fighting against anger that makes my blood boil every time."

"."

As the original author of "Hanzawa Naoki", Higashinoji certainly noticed this post.

After all, the praise was so great that I wanted to immediately put him at the top of the list in Japan.

Higashinoji almost thought that a hostile publishing house had come over to ask people to write soft articles to praise him.

But he took a closer look at the other party's homepage and discovered that this guy turned out to be a very famous poster in the forum.

He probably didn't come here to praise and kill him.

This made Toyoji relax a lot.

"It seems that the reviews of "Naoki Hansawa" are very good."

Higashino looked at the online comments and thought of the positive votes in the reader survey.

Ninety percent positive rating.

Even in any comic magazine published by any publisher, this record is absolutely unprecedented.

Even for Higashinoji, it would be difficult for him to draw another work to break this record.

After all, although there were quite a lot of good Japanese dramas in Japan in the past life, not many are suitable for being adapted into comics.

As Toyoji thought about it, he couldn't help but smile.

never mind.

Nothing to think about.

The most critical thing now is how to draw "Naoki Hansawa" well.

Higashino Tsukasa is now considered the focus of Tomshima Press.

If he hadn't disagreed, Hosokawa Koharu would have wanted to roll up her bed and sleep directly at his house.

When dealing with a work like "Naoki Hansawa" that can remain in the history of Japanese comics, you can never be too careful!

Higashinoji groaned, and while he was in good condition, he continued to draw.

Another week has passed.

"This is totally unreasonable!" Editor Kuroki of Yanzhu Publishing House looked at the "Heshi" in his hand and was speechless.

Some editors next to him were in a similar state to him, with their eyes wide open and their mouths opening and closing, looking like deep-sea fish that had just landed on the shore and couldn't even breathe.

It's really shocking.

"How many things does this guy Higashinoji hide that he hasn't revealed?"

Someone next to me whispered.

The quality of "Hansawa Naoki" this week has not declined, and has even improved a lot compared to last week's quality. This may be because "Hansawa Naoki" is finally coming to an end, and all the interesting plots are Reasons to come together.

but.

A comic book author who can take the next step forward.

Or 'go further' at this critical moment? What kind of monster is this?

Editor Kuroki didn't want to talk anymore.

I just stared hard at the content of "Hansawa Naoki".

After a long while, he finally let out a heavy breath.

Good guy.

Originally, he thought Higashinoji was a genius, a genius that no one in the comics industry could match.

But unexpectedly, he blinked and realized that he was blind.

What kind of genius is this?

They are clearly aliens with tentacles who came down from the sky in a spaceship.

Otherwise it wouldn't be possible.

"It doesn't make sense."

Editor Kuroki muttered to himself.

next week!

Next week is the sale day for the penultimate volume of Higashino Tsukasa's "Naoki Hansawa".

If we just look at this, the sales volume of "Naoki Hansawa" next week will most likely increase even higher.

Although I don’t know if it can break the four million sales record.

It's already quite scary.

Naturally, it's impossible to be the only editor at Iwazuki Publishing House paying attention to the sales of "Naoki Hansawa" next week.

Tomishima Publishing House is also under full martial law, with a nervous look on their faces.

The marketing department must submit a market research analysis on "Naoki Hansawa" every day, and they must not relax.

The editors held a meeting to discuss whether there were still some tricks that were useless. For example, the "Hansawa Naoki" signing party-the kind of routine that made Higashino suddenly appear at the sale site.

They were blushing and thick-necked as they discussed it, but they basically couldn't think of any useful method.

It is naturally impossible for Higashinoji to attend the autograph signing event. As a national-level cartoonist, his aura must be maintained, so let him go out and directly 'hand out autographs'.

Even if Touyesi agrees to this matter, they don't agree.

Thinking, collision of various ideas.

Then

All were rejected.

This made Editor-in-Chief Urashima feel very distressed.

He just wanted to see a truly outstanding work published by Tomishima Publishing House before he was promoted.

But now, their editing is completely useless.

Plot? Higashikata thinks about it on his own and does not need to discuss it with them at all.

publicity? Now they want to jump off the roof with a vertical banner that says ""Naoki Hansawa" is the best in the world", but even this is of little use.

As for other miscellaneous things.

That's not something their editors can worry about!

In short, the current situation of the comics department of Tomishima Publishing House is equivalent to a mess - this is basically what Higashinoji will do as soon as he finishes a comic.

In this case, Editor-in-Chief Urashima did not hesitate, and simply used the 'stress transfer method', calling Hosokawa Koharu in various ways, asking her to pay attention to Higashino Tsukasa's mood when he was in Higashino Studio, and ask him if he was okay. What a difficulty. If you can't tie him into a luxury hotel like that and lock him up, you can just let him draw comics!

Nothing can go wrong with "Naoki Hansawa"!

He gave instructions there that made Hosokawa Koharu's head growl.

It's really a big head.

Because what Editor-in-Chief Urashima said, she basically asked Higashinoji for instructions.

Maybe you feel that using the word ‘ask for instructions’ here is a bit inappropriate.

But Hosokawa Koharu really asked Higashinoji with the intention of asking his superiors for instructions.

If conditions hadn't allowed her, she would have really wanted to move into Higashino's house, where Higashi would sleep on the upper bunk and she would sleep on the lower bunk, locking him in a dark room around the clock to draw.

Of course, Tonoji just smiled and rejected Hosokawa Koharu's proposal, and at the same time told her not to worry, everything will work out.

This gave her the feeling that 'the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is.'

So she didn't sleep well these past few days, for fear that as soon as she lay down, a lot of bad news would come to her.

Both the people outside and the people inside are noisy.

But none of this affected Higashinoji.

As said a long time ago.

Higashinoji is a standard competition player.

The more times like this come, the more calm he becomes and the more capable he is of showing off his abilities.

Another week passed quickly.

At the same time as the penultimate chapter of "Naoki Hansawa" was serialized, the release of a new volume also started at the same time.

Although this is the penultimate volume, apart from this volume there is also the last volume of "Hansawa Naoki".

But the result this time has undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people.

The sale process is as usual.

But as long as the staff of the bookstore can basically find that when the marketing department personnel of Tomishima Publishing House come to investigate, they all have tense faces. When asking about the sales volume of "Hansawa Naoki", they will always ask repeatedly Several times, wait until it is fully confirmed before nodding to record.

The atmosphere was obviously a lot more tense.

Even some of the original animators at Higashino Studio are no longer in the mood to continue working on "Spirited Away" and are curious about whether their own Mr. Higashino can break the record this time.

And Higashinoji was very considerate of them. Knowing that they had no intention of producing, he simply allowed them to take a day off and wait until the results came out before working again.

"The average sales volume of Japan's number one manga volume is 4 million 3,200 copies. As long as this record can be exceeded, the title of Japan's number one manga master will be taken by Mr. Higashino."

Yano Ryuichi picked up the teacup and put it down again, rubbing his fingers nervously.

This anxious look made Seo Daigo on the other side a little funny.

But he actually didn't have the right to laugh at Yano Ryuichi.

Just now, he made a special phone call to ask a few acquaintances at the publishing house about the statistics of "Naoki Hansawa".

Obviously, the information hasn't come out yet.

Including the Oricon list, they are still counting.

After Tomishima Publishing House announced the sales data of "Naoki Hansawa" and the Oricon list was verified and confirmed to be correct, Higashinoji finally broke the record.

Talk about breaking records.

In particular, Seo Daigo also felt a little surprised.

You must know that Higashinoji's actual age is only eighteen years old.

If this really succeeds for him.

So he must be the first manga master in Japan to achieve this achievement at such a young age?

This is too scary.

Seo Daigo was secretly surprised in his heart.

At the same time, he glanced at Higashinoji's office.

Since morning, Higashinoji has stayed in the office.

Naturally, no one dared to go in and disturb him.

This is of course.

Even Higashinoji must be very concerned about the outcome of this time.

Seo Daigo couldn't help but raise his head.

The entire Tono Studio, except for pixiv and the Tono Comics website, is still officially in operation, and several other departments are silent.

Everyone seemed to have eyes shining, waiting for Higashinoji's results.

This cohesion.

Seo Daigo sighed.

Then

He heard the sound of the door being unlocked coming from Higashinoji's office.

At the same time, Higashikata's handsome and handsome face also appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone looked up.

Yano Ryuichi and Seo Daigo are no exception.

And facing such a look.

Higashikata didn't hesitate.

He picked up his flip phone and showed the text message on it.

At the same time, he showed a cheerful smile: ""Naoki Hansawa" sold four million! A breakthrough!"

quiet--

The entire Dongye Studio was silent at first.

After about a second or two, applause and cheers started.

Four million sales exceeded!

And this also means

The number one position in Japan.

It was really won by "Naoki Hansawa"!

This is more than worth celebrating!

Singing and dancing are not too much, right? !

Looking at the Dongye employees cheering below.

Higashinoji also chuckled softly again.

At the same time, he glanced at the text message on his phone.

That was a text message from Hosokawa Koharu.

There are intermittent symbols on it, and the following words 'Sorry, I was too excited, I made a typo. ’’s apology made Higashino feel happy.

Yes!

There are no twists and turns.

"Hanzawa Naoki".

Take it!
