Chapter 149. Higashino Printer (4000 words)

In fact, it must be very difficult for a manga to reach the popularity of "Winner is Justice" in a short period of time.

Because this is only the first episode, the story of Komimen Kensuke has just set sail.

But the problem is that Tsukasa Higashino was already famous before he drew "Winner is Justice" - as a high school student, he designed the popular mascot Kumamon, drew a national horror manga like "Midnight Bell", and "Lonely Foodie" was also widely known in the monthly magazine as a consolation for many social office workers...

"Winner is Justice" can have this kind of popularity, in addition to its excellent quality, it is also partly due to Higashino's own popularity.

Coupled with the overwhelming propaganda of the Urashima Publishing House, the trams and subways are covered with posters of "Winner is Justice" carefully drawn by Tsukasa Higashino.

The superposition of various factors has created this hot out of the circle, and even some people in the lawyer industry have vaguely paid attention to this cartoon introducing the lawyer industry.

Of course, it was just a matter of paying attention from the beginning, after all, it is basically difficult for an author who draws comics to communicate with a person like them in the field of law.

When he learned of these attentions, Higashino Tsukasa was also a little surprised at first.

After all, even he never thought that such a thing would happen.

You know, this is the first word.

The real point of controversy has not yet come out.

"The Victor is Justice" enters the second episode, and the truth about the court, justice, and murderers is revealed.

The first episode is at best an appetizer.

But it's the appetizer that gets so hot... This undoubtedly encouraged Tsukasa Higashino, who was still thinking about whether he needed to put the best matchup in front of the first few episodes, but now it seems that he doesn't need to.

After all, although "The Winner is Justice" is a unit drama, if you really want to forcibly adjust the plot that is too late to the front, it will definitely have an impact on the characters of the male protagonist Kensuke Komimen and the heroine Dai Zhenchiko.

Tsukasa Higashino gained confidence, so he gave up on the idea and decided to continue drawing according to the original manga outline.

Subsequently... Another seven days passed.

The second episode of "The Winner is Justice" was published.

And this time the discussion is even more than the previous one!

If the first episode of "Winner is Justice" is to drop a bomb in a pool of stagnant water, then the second sentence is equivalent to throwing a missile into the stagnant water!

When he saw Kensuke Komimen find the park café clerk in order to win the lawsuit and use words to induce the other party to testify in court, there was a wide discussion among many young people in society.

Because the actor Kensuke Komimon does this kind of thing at all, it doesn't seem like what the actor should do.

Strictly speaking, this is perjury!

Is justice what it looks like?

Can the law admit such false testimony?

Is this something a lawyer can do?

Many people have raised such questions.

For young people, the court is a place where the truth is told, justice and truth are told.

However, as a lawyer, Kensuke Komimen did not follow these rules at all, and depicted the very realistic situation of the courtroom confrontation in a particularly down-to-earth and comical manner.

It's like a quagmire fight, I throw mud balls at you, you smear mud on me.

But when they looked at the back, they found that the lawyer and prosecutor who fought against Kensuke Gumimen were actually even more insidious than Kensuke Gumeimen - not only giving false testimony, but also making false evidence.

They were dumbfounded.

How so? Can the world still be better? The court even admitted false testimony and evidence?

This overly realistic scene was displayed in front of everyone, which made many young people who yearn for justice and law a little unacceptable.

But these are not the most classic.

At the end of the manga story, Tomoko Daisama and Kensuke Komito manage to defeat the rival prosecutor and rescue Tsubokura, who is suspected of murder.

It was about the afternoon, just when the sunset was about to come out—

After a lot of hardships, she finally won the lawsuit, and the heroine Dai Zhenzhiko, who felt that she had adhered to her own justice, stood outside the police station to welcome Pingcang back.

"Congratulations, Mr. Tsubokura."

Dai Zhen Zhizi shook the palm of the young man Pingcang hard, and smiled: "I have always believed that you did not kill anyone!" You are innocent! ”

"Thank you, thank you, Teacher Dai." Pingcang also seemed very excited, he didn't have to spend ten years in prison, so he was naturally especially grateful to Dai Zhenzhizi.

But halfway through his thanks, Pingcang's gaze stopped, and he looked in a certain direction.

Tomoko Dai also apparently noticed the other party's gaze, and she also stopped politely and turned to look at the place where Pingkura's eyes could see.

There, there stood a police officer with a bad face and a flat head - it was this flat-headed police officer who insulted Pingcang, and even used torture to force Pingcang to confess.

At this time, the flat-headed officer stood in place, his eyes kept staring at Pingcang, his cruel gaze was too stinging, as if he was saying to Pingcang, 'I won't let you escape next time'.

And feeling the officer's gaze, Pingcang's eyes suddenly shot a resentful gaze, he broke it and muttered in a vicious and cruel tone: "What? That kind of gaze... I'm going to kill you..."

This change made Dai Zhenzhizi, who won the lawsuit and helped Pingcang get rid of his crimes, was stunned all of a sudden, and she looked at Pingcang in front of her with a stunned expression.

Because Pingcang's resentful gaze just now made her feel cold in her heart... It's as if he's a murderer.

And this stunned caused Pingcang's thanks and farewell, but she didn't have time to respond.

She looked at Pingcang, confused... The justice that I insisted on, the truth that I traced... Is it the truth?

Pingcang... Is it a murderer or not?

At this moment, Komimon Kensuke's annoying and frustrated voice came, but this time, the other party seemed to see through her thoughts: "Are you scared?" Are you worried that you will release the murderer back into the wild? , helped the criminal get away with it? ”

This continuous questioning made Dai Zhenzhizi suddenly speechless, and she held back for a long time before she said her question: "Lawyer Gu Meimen... Think he's a murderer? ”

Daisa Chiko was really confused, and she felt pressure on her body again.

What if Pingcang is really a murderer?

She was desperate to get an answer from Kensuke Komemon.

But Komeimen Kensuke didn't hesitate at all, and replied very simply: "It doesn't matter if it's okay or not." ”

His face was calm, not even the slightest fluctuation.

"Huh?" Daisa Zhizi was stunned.

"Whether he kills or not, it has nothing to do with me. I also had no interest, the evidence of the prosecutor's office was insufficient, so he was acquitted, and this is the law. The law is only about evidence. ”

Kensuke Komito stretched and turned to leave.

But before he could take a few steps, Dai Zhen Chiko's voice had already caught up.

"But where is the truth?"

She is still unwilling to give up the truth and her own justice.

But—

"Don't be too narcissistic, we're not gods, we're just lawyers."

Kensuke Komimon's final turn looks very crisp and handsome.

The reversal of this ending is rapid and reasonable, recovering all the foreshadowing in front of it, and at the same time, it has set off a topic.

Most of the issues revolve around justice and law.

Is it really like "Winner is Justice" portrayed by Tsukasa Higashino?

Even many media interviewed many professional lawyers to inquire about the last scene in the Higashino manga "Winner is Justice".

And Goro Misawa was one of those interviewed.

Facing the camera, he simply gave his own explanation:

"Although Higashino-sensei's "Winner is Justice" manga has a slightly more extreme explanation of law and justice... But in reality, that's how it is. There is insufficient evidence so that a conviction cannot be made. The law only talks about evidence, and has nothing to do with truth and justice. As long as there is enough evidence to prove his innocence, even if Tsubokura is really a murderer, he can get away with it. That's the law. ”

Naturally, the professional lawyer's answer once again set off a discussion among Higashino Tsukasa's readers.

This time it's no longer around the comic "Winner is Justice".

They were then amazed at Higashino's professionalism.

As we all know, Tsukasa Higashino is just a high school student, where did he learn this common sense?

And "Midnight Bell" has just finished the book, how did he find such an excellent comic? Don't have enough time to prepare, right?

It's really a ghost!

Of course, there are also people who don't quite admit that the manga "Winner is Justice" by Tsukasa Higashino is a work of improvised sharpening of guns.

Tsukasa Higashino: This must be a grinding spear that has been grinding for a long time.

Discussions like these quickly reached the ears of Urashima Press, and how could they endure it.

Tsukasa Higashino is now a signature author.

So on the same day, Urashima Publishing House held a press conference.,Higashino Tsukasa had other things to do.,So he didn't attend.,Naturally, he attended in place of Hosokawa Koharu, the editor in charge of Higashino Tsukasa's comics.。

To be honest, when she received the news, Hosokawa Koharu was drinking water, and she sprayed all over the table with a pop, and her face was even more confused.

No... What did you say? I went to the press conference to explain the creation of Higashino-sensei?

In this way, she went to the press conference very inexplicably, and then accepted the interview with a confused face.

What are you going to ask me?

I don't know anything, huh?

Isn't it better to have a smile at this time?

With this inexplicable mood, Hosokawa Koharu took the plunge to be interviewed.

Tsukasa Higashino was at home with Chihaya Higashino, and naturally saw this interview.

"Isn't this Koharu? How could she be surrounded by so many people? Is Koharu actually famous?! ”

Looking at Hosokawa Koharu on the TV screen, Chihaya Higashino showed a surprised expression.

Before Tsukasa Higashino could answer, a reporter's inquiry came from the TV: "Editor Hosokawa, what do you think of the rumors outside that 'Higashino-sensei's new work has actually been prepared for several months'?" ”

"Even if you say what you think... It was only two weeks from the time Mr. Higashino told me about the draft storyboard to the time the original draft came out. ”

"In other words, we can't rule out the possibility that Higashino-sensei actually prepared in advance, right? After all, it's such a brilliant work... Maybe there are seven or eight comic assistants to help draw the backgrounds, right? ”

Another reporter next to him asked.

"Huh? I didn't say that... And Higashino-sensei didn't hire so many manga assistants, he drew alone, from the background to the characters to the plot lines. ”

Hosokawa Koharu furrowed his eyebrows.

And after she said this, it caused many people to exclaim.

Didn't hire a comic assistant?

This is almost impossible for comic book authors who are serializing.

Professional comic book writers basically hire two or three manga assistants.

If the work is hot, five or six, or even seven to eight comic assistants will be hired.

Departments like Tsukasa Higashino's works are all hot, and the authors who are all big sellers actually paint alone?

What is this concept?

Some people used to call Tsukasa Higashino the light of the industry... Now I feel like I can change it.

I can make it to an Higashino printer.

However, many people didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it must have been made up by Hosokawa Koharu.

So would someone really be a printer? Don't even want a manga assistant?

In this case, Hosokawa Koharu didn't talk nonsense, and directly posted the form of "Bad Cold" in terms of personnel and employment.

"This is the list of personnel and employment of "Bad Cold", and it can be seen that whether it is "Midnight Bell", "Lonely Gourmet" or now "Winner is Justice", Mr. Higashino has not asked to hire a comic assistant."

Hosokawa Koharu didn't want to post this form, but when it comes to the reputation of Higashino Division, she can't hesitate.

And as soon as this highly credible form was posted, many reporters were excited.

This is another big revelation...

Their concern was never whether Tsukasa Higashino hired a manga assistant.

All they focus on is whether there's big news to cover.

I don't say it's crazy on the Internet, but as long as you enter the section related to the comics, you can clearly see the topic of Tsukasa Higashino.

You must know that there is basically no such thing as a manga writer who doesn't need a manga assistant!

Even if it was Tsumoto Fuji, when the anime was serialized, he was busy drawing draft storyboards for the anime, and he didn't have time to draw the background, so he hired a manga assistant.

Tsukasa Higashino has to take care of both his studies and draw manga, and he has also achieved considerable results in oil painting.

Is this still human?

As a result, the Japanese who were full of anger began to give Tsukasa Higashino nicknames one by one.

What 'High Dimensional Creature', 'Higashino Printer', 'Magic Hand of Painting'...

Anyway, all kinds of things are put on Tsukasa Higashino's skull.

One of the most widely spread is probably the nickname Higashino Printer.

This is because there is a very famous manga author who posted a picture of him on his personal webpage when he heard about the situation of Tsukasa Higashino-

A Q version of the character's mouth is as open as a printer square, and keeps spitting out the original...

This picture is circulating on the Internet.

The name of Higashino printer also spread everywhere.

And in this case, it seems that there is a person who lives near Tsukasa Higashino's apartment, silently posting a few photos on the forum.

It is the environment near Higashinoya!

And this post also attracted the attention of Tsukasa Higashino.
