Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 420 What Can I Do About This (4000 words)
For the time being, Higashino has no intention of drawing manga, and Hosokawa Koharu has not continued to force him.

After all, manga authors are forced to draw manga—she has never heard of such a precedent in the entire history of the development of Japanese publishing houses.

Since Dong Yesi has no such intentions for the time being, there is no need to force it.

At least Hosokawa Koharu thinks so.

She truthfully reported the situation to Editor-in-Chief Urashima, explaining the situation of Higashino Division, and her tone did not mean that it was too difficult.

On the other side, the editor-in-chief of Urashima
To be honest, he didn't care too much.

This time I asked Hosokawa Koharu to ask Higashino, just because Higashino's new comics were only published in a week or a few weeks, and they were a bit uncomfortable to make room for Higashino.

After all, a comic magazine generally has more than 400 pages, and there are about [-] comics being serialized. In addition, there are also newcomer rewards (newcomer works competition) or monthly rewards (once a month) Pages of some works from the Manga Contest).

These pages are basically fixed dead.

The location of serialization is also basically fluid. Every few weeks, one manga may be cut in half and a new manga will be replaced at the same time.
Under such strict rules and regulations, it is even more difficult to guarantee Higashino Division a serial position.

But now that he knows that Higashino has no plans to draw manga for the time being.

Then they don't have to worry about it, they just go straight to the newcomer's work.

At the same time, the editor-in-chief Urashima did not forget to ask Higashino Tsukasa to help issue a temporary suspension announcement, lest readers have unreasonable expectations and express their dissatisfaction directly under the magazine's homepage without seeing Higashino Tsukasa's works.

After all, there were precedents at the beginning.

Higashino's "Unnatural Death" just stopped serialization for a few weeks.

There were even rumors that Fushima Publishing House had secretly killed Higashinoji.

That's not so good.

Fortunately, Higashino Division is also very talkative, and is willing to cooperate with the work of Fushima Publishing House.

He kindly cooperated with the release of an announcement, saying that he will soon produce a brand new animated film "Spirited Away", and may not have time to serialize the manga, so he temporarily stops writing. I hope readers can understand.

Similarly, he did not forget to advertise for "Heshi" magazine, the main meaning is that there are many good works on "Heshi" magazine, so you don't have to stare at me all the time.

He made this announcement.

A group of readers of "He Shi" are not as shocked or even stunned as in some novels, feeling that the world has collapsed and the earth has stopped spinning.

They showed consideration for Higashino Division with a calm expression.

After all, Higashino has other jobs in his hands, and it is really understandable that he has no time to serialize comics.

And "Wase" is considered one of the best manga magazines in Japan. Even if Higashino's manga is missing, the manga in it should still be quite brilliant
Yes.

No one can live without anyone.

Nor did the earth leave anyone, and the autobiography ceased.

Even if there is no Higashino Division in "Heshi", they are completely acceptable!
"what's going on?"

Kanzaki Hiroshi, who is a long-time fan of "Kaze" and Higashinoji, watched "Kaze" fall on the tatami floor in his hand, tossing and turning, feeling inexplicably anxious in his heart.

"He Shi" is still the same "He Shi", it is still a variety of comics, and the layout is also very particular.
"But why does it feel so wrong to me?"

Kanzaki Hiroshi was anxious, and the more he looked at the "Heshi" in his hand, the more he felt that he couldn't see it.

Obviously, the content of "Heshi" has not changed at all, except that Higashinoji's manga is missing.

But it just made him feel very annoying and uncomfortable to watch.

There is a feeling of tastelessness.

"Why does this happen?"

Kanzaki Hiro stood up and sat up again.

In the past, after reading Higashinoji's "Hansawa Naoki", he didn't feel this way when he read other comics on "Heshi".

But now. The more he reads, the more annoying he gets. The more he reads, the more boring the comics on "He Shi" are.

There are only two works by Mr. Kimoto Fuji and Mr. Kuromiya Meisa who can read a little manga.

"Forget it, don't watch it."

Kanzaki Hiroshi put down the "Wase" in his hand.

Originally, the weekly "He Shi" was a mental recovery agent for him to work hard every week.

But if he continues to look at it like this, this 'spiritual recovery agent' will probably make him angry.

He didn't want to be irritated during this hard-won weekend.

"Go and see the situation on the forum."

Kanzaki Hiroshi put down "Heshi", and also wanted to see the reactions of the people on the forum to this issue of "Heshi".

He felt that maybe his own reaction was too aggressive.

People on the Internet should not be like him.
then
"What exactly is published in this issue of "Heshi"? Apart from the works of Kimoto Fuji and Kuromiya-sensei, what are the other manga authors drawing?"

Someone commented unceremoniously.

There are also posts below.

"This issue of "Heshi" really made me angry, and my blood pressure went up. Why did it suddenly become this kind of quality? I can't feel that the editors and authors have done their homework with care. They want to use this kind of quality to cheat money ?"

There are even some extreme irascible elders, after seeing the quality of this week's "He Shi", they directly posted and scolded.

"If you want to make money, please show a little more sincerity, "He Shi" editorial department."

"Rubbish!"

However, such extreme readers still account for a very small part.

Most readers are a little confused.

How come "He Shi", which has always been well-reviewed, suddenly turned into this kind of "tasteless tasteless ribs"?

The point is not that one or two people think so, but that most readers feel that the current "He Shi" is really not as attractive as before.

They start analyzing.

Let’s start with the analysis of the artistry of each manga author, and some people even compared the previous issues of "He Shi" with this issue of "He Shi".

Then they found out.

In terms of drawing skills, these cartoon authors not only did not regress, but also improved a lot.

Some readers guessed that Higashino had finished the book "Hansawa Naoki", which has always occupied the number one reader survey. This made the eyes of those authors who were suppressed by him all the year round brighten, thinking that this was a chance to get the number one, so they strengthened it. The painters even draw the shadows by hand instead of pasting them with dotted paper.

After all, the Great Demon King of Dongye has fallen.

Everyone has the chance to be emperor!
And this is also reflected in the plot.

After comparison, the readers of "He Shi" found that the plot of this issue of "He Shi" comics is much more exciting than the previous ones.

This makes it unacceptable to a group of readers.

Not
I have always thought that you have regressed, that's why you draw so ugly.

I didn't expect you to make progress and still stretch the span like this?
This makes them even more unacceptable.

Now that they have made progress, they should be more comfortable watching it. Why is it so boring?
At this time, someone finally stood up and tried to analyze it.

"I don't think there is a problem with the author or editor of "He Shi", but a problem with us."

As soon as this point of view came out, it attracted the attention of many netizens, and their minds were filled with question marks—manga magazines are not good-looking, so how could it be their problem?

However, considering that the person who came out to explain is a very famous poster on the Japanese Internet, so no one jumped out to sing the opposite for the time being, just waiting for his explanation.

After about a few minutes, the post owner summarized his views and posted them.

"The reason why the previous "Heshi" has been attracting us to watch, and we have a feeling that we don't want to miss it is because Higashino-san's "Naoki Hansawa" is being serialized at that time. I believe many people here are watching "Hanzawa Naoki" Is there an update for Naoki Sawa?"

What he said made sense.

At the beginning, "Hansawa Naoki" received a survey of 90.00% of readers' praise.

In other words, at least 90% of the readers of "Heshi" are fans of "Hansawa Naoki".

"That's the problem."

""Naoki Hansawa". No, it's Higashino-san's story structure ability and artistry, all of which are far ahead of all the manga on "He Shi". Usually, after we finish reading "Naoki Hansawa", we just feel It’s very comfortable, and it’s no problem to read other comics at this time, it’s like we just ate the top-quality wagyu beef as our staple food, and now we need some fruit desserts to relieve the boredom and calm down.”

"But now there is no "Hansawa Naoki" in "Heshi", which is equivalent to that everyone is forced to eat fruit for dessert before eating the staple food. Of course, it makes people feel dull. .”

"In other words, our tastes have been fed very picky by "Naoki Hansawa" without knowing it, so that when we look at other works, we can't tolerate any sand in our eyes. Because Subconsciously, we always compare these works with the finished "Hansawa Naoki". Take dessert as the staple food. I don't think anyone has such a hobby, right?"

The main post is posted here.

Kanzaki Hiroshi was taken aback for a while before reacting.

don't say it.
It really makes sense.

When he was watching other works today, he subconsciously thought, 'If it was "Naoki Hansawa", this would not be handled like this here." "If it was "Naoki Hansawa."'

People are like this.

When the excellent work is still there, I feel that the existence of this work is taken for granted, and some people want to spray a sentence or two.

But when the work was finished, some people sighed and felt that it was a pity.

It's like some e-sports players in the previous life, who were scolded by various people before retiring. After retiring, they began to call them "the only god" and "God", and at the same time they disliked other e-sports players
Humans are actually like this.

I don't cherish it when I'm here, and I always think about it when I'm not here.

"So this is ah."

Kanzaki Hiroshi looked at this post and shook his head.

"He Shi" without "Hansawa Naoki" is like missing a soul. Although the above works are of good quality, it is difficult to arouse his interest.

"I always thought I was a fan of "Heshi" but I didn't expect that I just liked Mr. Higashino."

Kanzaki Hiroshi was helpless, but at the same time, he couldn't help but ran to the bottom of the page of Higashino Studio and posted a comment that he hoped that Mr. Higashino would come back soon.

no way.

He just wanted to see Higashino Division's next work!

Why do you forgive Higashinoji?Why does it take it for granted that Higashino has a job and has no time to draw new manga?
It's all about farting!
Come back and draw new comics for me!
Don't slip!
Kanzaki Hiroshi is not the only one who has this idea.

In addition to him, there are many fans of "Hansawa Naoki" who posted comments under Higashino Studio.

It probably means, "The words we said before to be considerate of your work have been cancelled. Come back soon to draw comics and animation movies?" '

The increasing number of comments has also attracted the attention of Dongye Studio.

The matter also reached the ears of Higashino Division as a matter of course.

"Is there such a thing?" Higashinosi, who was drawing Chihiro and the faceless man on the water train together, put down the pen in his hand a little funny, and at the same time took a sip of water from the thermos next to him: "It's just a simple booing , I don’t think it matters at all.”

Higashino is quite narcissistic, but he doesn't think the world can't turn around without him.

In the same way, he also feels that even if he is missing from "He Shi", it will not hurt the seriousness, at most it will lose a little popularity, and it will definitely not hurt the fundamentals.

Thinking about it this way, Higashinoji didn't pay too much attention to these online comments.

After all, one or two of the people who left the message seemed to have taken drugs and had a withdrawal reaction, and their voices wished that Dong Yeji would be tied up to draw comics immediately--you can tell that the fans are joking.

Of course Higashino didn't care too much.

Besides, there is indeed a lot of work on his side. Even if these people came to persuade him, he didn't have much intention to change his mind.

He drank a few more sips of water, buried his head and continued to work.

At the same time, Fushima Publishing House on the other side——

Editor-in-Chief Urashima's scalp tingles.

It can even be said to be a bit of a headache.

Because he never thought about it.

A manga, or a manga author finishing a serial manga would have such a serious impact on the entire magazine.

At first he had the same idea as Higashinoji.

After all, the earth will still rotate without anyone.

Even if Higashino Division is the pillar, so what?

At most, it will affect sales a little.

But he obviously didn't expect it.

This "a little sales" spread. It's so big.

Sales of "Heshi" have been falling at an alarming rate recently.

From the beginning, "Chiyo", which was firmly suppressing the next-door Yanzhu Publishing House, has become a [-]-[-] situation.

That's right.

It's a [-]-[-] split.

The sales of "Heshi" and "Chiyo" are almost equal, but because of the background of "Hansawa Naoki", the sales of "Heshi" manga still have a little advantage.

but
This advantage is nothing at all, and I feel that I will be caught up in the next moment.

This made Editor-in-Chief Urashima rub his temples—what should we do?

　Thanks to chii4649, 51 stones, and Yuanfen Qiansheng for their rewards!Thank you so much!
