Chapter 230. Chihaya Higashino: What kind of wind is this blowing? (Plus!) The third update!)

"Unnatural Death" has basically stabilized sales of two million volumes!

Counting carefully, there are only 22 manga in Japan that have sold more than 2 million volumes of comics.

Don't think 22 is a lot, in fact, from the official start of the new storyboard drawing method of Japanese manga in 1947 to the present in 2004, I don't know that tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of manga works were born and cut in half.

During this period, only 22 comics managed to sell an average of two million copies.

This is the real witness to history.

This is also something to celebrate within Urashima Press.

But because this is only an hour's sales, in order to avoid making any oolong jokes, Urashima Publishing House did not go around publicizing it, or issued notices to other magazines and newspapers - it is better to be steady and wait for a single day of sales... No, after the volume is sold and the results are really complete, it is better to think about how to publicize it.

The last time Iwakaku Press and Mozhu Bookstore opened champagne at half time, Urashima Press still vividly remembered.

It's just that although there is no publicity everywhere and no internal activities are held, the editors of Urashima Press are still very happy, especially the editor-in-chief of Urashima, who almost didn't laugh so much that others thought that he had come to the second spring of his life.

No way.

When he took over Urashima Publishing from the previous editor-in-chief, it was a mess.

At that time, there was only one Suzuki feather who could get his hands on the pillar, and the small pillar Kuronomiya Akira was counted as one, and there was nothing else, so it could be said that he was working empty-handed.

Later, Suzuki Yu was dug up at the foot of the wall, and the small pillar Kuronomiya Mingsha gradually declined... This made him almost follow the example of the previous editor-in-chief, and led a group of editors to kneel down in front of the logo of Urashima Publishing House.

From big fall to big rise... To be honest, the editor-in-chief of Urashima really feels like he has been through ups and downs.

But it's okay—

"I have to thank Higashino-sensei."

Editor-in-chief Urashima felt relieved.

It was only at this time that Urashima Publishing took its first steps out of the mud.

And with this first step, there is the second step, the third step... That's not a particularly difficult thing to do.

Maybe it's a good thing in pairs.

Tsukasa Higashino's "Unnatural Death" had just stabilized its sales of two million volumes, and "Lemon" followed suit, stretching out its big feet and kicking down the number one song, and sitting comfortably on top of this week's champion.

"Lemon" won the weekly crown.

The news spread much faster than in the comics industry.

After all, the distribution list is placed there, and anyone can see it and find it.

And at the same time as the first place on the weekly list of "Lemon", the fire planted in front of it can be regarded as ignited.

Many fans of Oura Yukie strongly support their singers, feeling that Tsukasa Higashino is not worthy of the position, and he is not worthy of this weekly list at all, and he will be kicked down soon.

And the fans of "Lemon" said that the other party just couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour.

The two sides were at a stalemate, until someone dug up some gossip that came out in March this year who didn't know who - Tsukasa Higashino's oil painting was painted by someone else.

This was when Tsukasa Higashino participated in the Art Creation Awards in March of this year and won the gold prize.

There was a layer of contestants who felt that Tsukasa Higashino's painting skills could not be so high, and that he had asked someone else to write the work, so they spread this rumor everywhere.

But this news has actually been rejected by a joint statement of the five major art academies in Tokyo.

In other words, it's a completely unfounded rumor.

But people on the Internet don't care about this.

Some people directly came up with this kind of baseless rumors, saying that Tsukasa Higashino had a previous history of ghostwriting, and maybe his song "Lemon" was also sung by others.

This is a very murderous statement.

What's the most disgusting thing about making art? That's when people say you're ghostwriting or plagiarizing.

This time, the readers of "Unnatural Death", who were just watching the play and didn't want to argue about anything, couldn't help it.

Higashino-sensei's manga was drawn by someone else? The oil painting was also painted by someone else?

You're shitting!

They soon turned to the fact that Higashino Tsukasa was not as famous as he is now, and received the program when he was interviewed on TV.

Tsukasa Higashino fights left and right, and the video of Sadako drawing with both hands and Goro Inokashira is taken out by them.

This time, the fans on the other end were silent.

Because Higashino Tsukasa's painting skills really don't have to be said...

As for the oil paintings... The five major academies of art in Tokyo have already issued a negative statement, and no matter how much they debate, they are at their fault.

Could it be that they can still say that the five major art academies in Tokyo are engaged in match-fixing?

It is the highest art school in Japan.

The Japanese have a special regard for writers, lawyers, painters, teachers, and so on... Don't talk about others... Even these netizens themselves have little confidence.

After all, Japan's top art school has credibility, and as long as they say it, most people will believe it.

This matter has come to an end for the time being.

Fans of "Lemon" and fans of Oura Yukie breathed a sigh of relief, and many people paid attention to Zhou Guan's dynamics.

Oura Yukie also said that the song "Lemon" will not stay on the weekly top list for too long.

Soon some time passed.

The single-day sales of "Unnatural Death" are counted, with more than 400,000 copies sold on the first day, which can be said to be a monster-level sales, with an average sales of two million volumes just around the corner, and the daily sales of the manga single book on the public trust list rank first, which can be said to be the real 'Akamaru Rapid Rise' - Airborne No. 1.

This also means that "Unnatural Death" has gradually replaced most of the original robot comic market, and has begun to become the mainstream vane of Japanese comics.

Many comic book readers have also expressed their opinions.

"Mikoto Mitsumi is so cute."

"It's really cute, I hope to see Mikoto Mitsumi smile more, it's really an angelic smile. Healed me. ”

"When will the new episode of "Unnatural Death" be drawn? Is it okay for the editorial department to lock Higashino-san in a hotel and draw comics? There are also new tunes, are there any other new songs in Higashino-san? ”

These readers are still quite friendly, and actively discuss the plot of "Unnatural Death" below.

But at the same time, it has also been discovered that the manga seems to have been revealing some of the dark sides of Japanese society.

This is truly commendable.

In particular, the sentence in the first episode of "Unnatural Death" that "Japan's autopsy rate is the lowest among the developed countries in the world" has attracted the attention of many people.

They thought that this was a comic, an ordinary comic used by young people and minors to decompress, and the things said in it were not taken seriously.

But as "Unnatural Death" gradually became a phenomenal comic, many people also began to speculate about some lines in "Unnatural Death".

'Forensic medicine is a 7K profession. ’

More than 80 percent of unnatural deaths in Japan are arbitrarily named as a cause of death and sent for cremation without an autopsy. ’

These lines also caused a lot of turmoil, and some people even went to check the information - and found that it was really like this.

It is true that Japan's dissection rate is the lowest among developed countries.

This made many people stunned, and then angry.

You must know that Japan has always been very outrageous in terms of tax collection, there is a consumption tax on buying things, a bath tax on hotel rest, a fixed asset tax on assets, and a car weight tax when buying a car... Even a few days ago, in 2004, there was a proposal to pay a single tax... It's just that the social repercussions were huge at that time, and many single people spoke out, so the matter was over.

In short, there are many different reasons for paying taxes in Japan, and Japanese people are naturally concerned about where their taxes are used.

When they learn that they may not even know the cause of their death when they die, and they may die inexplicably, of course they will speak out in anger.

This incident directly led to a demonstration on the streets of Tokyo, which caused a lot of uproar, and many nosy social commentators came down one after another, and their role was quite simple, that is, to scold the cabinet and the prime minister.

As long as the people are comfortable listening, they will be comfortable with it.

Among them, "Unnatural Death" is at most a promoter, and the subsequent operation is a matter for these people and social commentators.

But from the side, it can also be found that "Unnatural Death", as the vane of mainstream Japanese comics, still has a great influence on the young generation of Japan.

After talking about "Unnatural Death", let's look at the situation on the side of the credit list "Lemon".

The daily distribution of "Lemon" is only increasing, with an average of more than 6,000 per day, this distribution is very terrifying, generally a three or four thousand distribution is already a popular song, which is an average of six or seven thousand per day... It also pulled away the second place that had just been kicked - this is simply the beginning of the annual crown reservation.

After all, a song may attract many people to download and listen to it at the beginning, but over time, more people will download it, and the listeners will start repeating it, and everyone has already downloaded it... Then the number of daily distribution letters will naturally decrease, but instead of decreasing, "Lemon" has been showing a smooth straight rise...

If you continue to calculate according to this curve, in the second half of this year alone, "Lemon" will be able to reach the official one million distribution certification of the distribution list, which is a little worse than the results achieved by Yonezu Genshi in the previous life, but considering that Higashino Tsukasa is a low-profile Yonezu Genshi, this small error is also understandable - finally lost the name of Yonezu Genshi!

At the same time, the number of letters on the public credit list, "Lemon", is also rising, from 35 to 29 quietly.

It really killed the six people in front of me quietly, and it smelled like a stab in the back.

The song "Lemon" is finally starting to play its laurel that once dominated the distribution charts.

Some well-known squares, restaurants, and cafes began to play the song "Lemon", and the "Lemon" craze swept through Tokyo.

At the same time, a name can no longer inevitably enter people's eyes - Tsukasa Higashino.

"Lemon" is still only released in the digital version of the Internet, and the physical CD version has not yet been released, and the potential can be said to be quite huge.

Many record companies have used their brains to contact Tsukasa Higashino and inquire about the publication and sale of physical CDs.

After being on the weekly list, "Lemon" gradually began to exert its strength.

This is naturally not something that Oura Yukie fans want to see.

But some of them said that the song "Lemon" was really good, and it was not interesting to keep holding on to others, so I voluntarily quit.

This makes some diehards can be said to be angry and anxious, they haven't brought the culprit Higashino to the ground, why did traitors start to appear on our side?

And it's not one, it's a group?

Music is a sensual art, and the song "Lemon" itself is not bad in quality, so it will naturally attract Oura Yukie fans.

Naturally, Oura Yukie was aware of this situation.

But she can only watch the "Lemon" on the distribution list go higher and higher... She screamed in her heart, 'Drop! Fall! Fall! It didn't work at all.

On the contrary, it is rising higher and higher...

Oura Yukie almost didn't die of anger at this change.

You must know that a few days ago, she also analyzed the reason why a wave of "Lemon" will fall from the distribution list with her 'professionalism' on the radio program, and she is full of confidence.

As a result, it is now too different from what she thought before, "Lemon" is not to mention falling, and it will soar into the sky like this, and no one can stop it.

What she said on the radio program was also intercepted by people with a heart and used as a laughing stock.

Something similar to-

'Can you behave that?' ’

The Lemon crown can only stay for a week before it falls. ’

'Hahahaha. ’

After this situation was settled, of course, Oura Yukie was so angry that he almost didn't spurt blood.

This is too lacking in morality.

But the words are what she said herself, and she must carry her own sins and problems by herself.

Oura Yukie is very depressed, and she has made her debut all the way, and she is also very remorseful when she experiences social beating for the first time.

If I had been a little polite at the beginning, wouldn't the song "Lemon" be my own?

"There is no such if!" Oura Yukie slammed into the computer.

It's like I've already lost!

I haven't lost yet!

As long as there are new songs! If you have new tunes and high-quality tunes, you're sure to beat Lemon!

Yukie Oura is very confident in his singing voice, and feels that the quality of the song "Lemon" beats him...

Oura Yukie is disappointed in the workplace, and Tsukasa Higashino can be regarded as a manga and a theme song, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a spring breeze.

With an average volume of 2 million, the sales of "Lemon" have been rising, which can be said to be a good situation.

Before painting Unnatural Death, Higashino had never imagined such a clear situation.

After all, this was the first step in his quest for professional manga in Japan, and he was ready to fail.

I didn't expect it...

"Don't think about these terrible... Then came the time to stabilize the quality of Unnatural Death. The sales of two million rolls must not be wasted. ”

Thinking about it, Tsukasa Higashino began to ponder the next plot of "Unnatural Death".

But before he could think through the plot, the door suddenly opened.

Then came the voice of Chihaya Higashino:

"Asa As, can you sing "Lemon" to me again?"

Tsukasa Higashino was stunned.

Chihaya Higashino: What kind of wind is this blowing...?
