"Unnatural Death" is officially over at this point.

Tsukasa Higashino's job as a manga writer is over.

After that, the end is Hosokawa Koharu, who is in charge of editing, at most, Tsukasa Higashino will draw two more character drafts such as Mikoto Mitsumi or Rokuro Kube to produce animated figures or posters, and the money will basically be obtained lying down.

And the other manga authors who contributed to Urashima Publishing House with Tsukasa Higashino certainly don't have such treatment as Tsukasa Higashino.

Either they have to rack their brains to think about the plot of their next manga after the end, or they are worried that the company responsible for animating their work will produce low-quality gadgets and bring their original work a bad reputation...

But these are the problems that Higashino Tsukasa doesn't have to worry about, it's hard for a comic book author to be famous, and it's very difficult to eat before he becomes famous, but after becoming famous, it's equivalent to lying down and taking money, and various companies take the money and beg you to join.

Just like now, "Unnatural Death" is just finishing, and seven or eight projects have been sent to Tsukasa Higashino.

There is a demand for adaptation of anime, adaptation of live-action TV series, and even for animated theatrical versions and live-action films, and there are even requests for SP short animation (bonus animation of the short video genre) for "Unnatural Death".

This kind of feeling that he has not had time to promote his works, his reputation and money have already grown legs, and the feeling of taking the initiative to run to the door made Higashino Tsukasa stunned.

He flipped through several plans and animation plans, and found that these plans had been compiled and written as early as when "Unnatural Death" was still being serialized.

This made Tsukasa Higashino a little speechless when he saw it - Japan really deserves to be a capitalist society, and the profitable places are simply swarmed up.

It's also that he doesn't have a smartphone now, otherwise he estimates that the mobile game plan for "Unnatural Death" would have to be made now.

He just thought about things like 'Mikoto Mitsumi, SSR characters must be hit in ten consecutive draws', and he inexplicably felt that his blood pressure was full.

Just as Higashino was thinking.

Hosokawa Koharu, who took the initiative to come to the door, had already spoken: "Mr. Higashino, this is just part of the project, in addition to radio dramas, adaptations, game adaptations, book signings, and other plans..."

"And that's only part of it?" Tsukasa Higashino was an eye-opener.

He also knew about animation, movies, and TV series before, but he didn't expect that there were so many new things besides these three things.

"Well, it's only a part, after all, "Unnatural Death" is the top work that Urashima Publishing House can come up with at present, and of course it should be tilted towards top resources."

Hosokawa Koharu said and glanced at Tsukasa Higashino, a little funny: "It's too late for other authors to imagine that Higashino-sensei is so troubled by you, so many companies' plans are in front of you for you to choose... Even I knew that "Unnatural Death" had this treatment. ”

She was obviously teasing her tone, which made Higashino Tsukasa shake his head with a smile.

He picked up the plan book and flipped through it, then asked, "I want to keep the animation and animated films, and it should be fine, Hosokawa editor." ”

"Absolutely." Hosokawa Koharu had long expected that Higashino would say this.

After all, Tsukasa Higashino now has a private animation studio, and he must be more confident in the quality of the animation produced by his own studio than other companies.

As for the TV station in charge of broadcasting...

Through the release of "Lonely Gourmet" and "Winner is Justice", Tsukasa Higashino also met some friends on Fuji TV, and the screening of "Unnatural Death" was completely fine.

After discussing with Hosokawa Koharu, Tsukasa Higashino left the production rights of the anime, animated films, theatrical versions, etc., and signed the rest as appropriate.

The first is the transformation of "Unnatural Death".

Unlike "Midnight Bell", this "Unnatural Death" is a mystery genre manga, and the mystery theme is also very marketable in Japan.

So this time "Unnatural Death" has 15,000 more copies than the first printing of "Midnight Bell" last time, and the royalty share has also increased compared to "Midnight Bell".

It is still Urashima Publishing House that is in charge.

This Higashino didn't have any opinions, just scanned it and signed and stamped it.

This was followed by the planning of the radio drama "Unnatural Death".

The so-called radio drama is actually to broadcast the story content of "Unnatural Death" to the listeners on the radio in the form of radio, which will also have voice actors dubbed, so that the audience can understand the story content of the script.

This Higashino Tsukasa also wanted to ask Riko Hasegawa's opinion, although he felt that Riko Hasegawa would most likely agree directly, and there would be no hesitation... But you still have to respect the wishes of the other party.

Now Riko Hasegawa has a vague trend of hot voice actors.

Should I say that this girl deserves to be a natural genius? It's just dubbing two works of Tsukasa Higashino, and the popularity has come up.

However, Higashino Tsukasa estimates that there is also a reason for Riko Hasegawa's appearance.

She is really beautiful, and her pure and lovely appearance can really grab a lot of male fans - men, that's it, as long as the face is good-looking, then there are men who like it.

The matter of the radio drama was put on hold for the time being, and he turned to another project.

A live-action TV series project for "Unnatural Death".

This Higashino Tsukasa is quite familiar, after all, "Unnatural Death" was a TV series in his previous life.

But there are also many tragedies of 'real-life' in Japanese comics.

This has to be guarded against.

So Tsukasa Higashino carefully selected for a while, discussed with Hosokawa Koharu for a while, and finally decided on TBS TV as the producer.

TBS TV and Fuji TV are two of the five largest private wireless television stations in Japan.

The most important thing is -

If Higashino is not mistaken, "Unnatural Death" in his previous life was produced by TBS TV.

Let the old owner of Unnatural Death make it... It shouldn't disappoint Tsukasa Higashino, right?

However, now that it is approaching the end of the year, it is estimated that the production team of "Unnatural Death" will have to wait a long time, and it is estimated that the TV series "Unnatural Death" will be screened on TV next year.

He signed and sealed, which was regarded as agreeing to the plan, but in fact, he only agreed to the other party's production, and the specific treatment had to be discussed in person.

By now, the matter is almost settled.

Tsukasa Higashino won a total of two projects, namely the transformation and the TV drama.

As for other projects... Things like games, book signings... Tsukasa Higashino is not considered for the time being.

He's had enough things on his hands to think about them just yet.

And if you really want to make money by playing games and signing sales... Then this food is inevitably too ugly.

Of course, if you are an ordinary comic editor, it is estimated that your own author will sign off on all these projects, and I hope to make a fortune quickly.

But Hosokawa Koharu is different, she understands Tsukasa Higashino, and she also knows Tsukasa Higashino's character.

So she just nodded and said, "Regarding the matter of transformation and TV drama, I will give Mr. Higashino a letter within this month." ”

That's why Tsukasa Higashino loves Hosokawa Koharu as a manga editor.

He smiled and nodded, and responded, "Then it's troublesome for the Hosokawa editor." ”

Hosokawa Koharu has been busy again these days, and it is estimated that he will have to stay up late for several days for his works, so there is no problem in saying 'trouble'.

"Don't bother with anything, Mr. Higashino, the next time the TV series and the results of the transformation come down, just remember to invite me to a meal."

Hosokawa Koharu packed up the book documents at hand and quipped.

Through the last incident, the distance between her and Higashino Tsukasa has suddenly narrowed a lot, and they can make some inconsequential jokes with each other.

Sending Hosokawa Koharu away, Tsukasa Higashino closed the door.

The adaptation of "Unnatural Death" is over for the time being, and even if the results are to be released, it will be next month or two or three weeks later.

The most critical thing now is -

Tsukasa Higashino took out the draft of the previous storyboard of "Naoki Hanzawa" in the drawer, thought about it and took out "Once I Thought About a Hundred" with his backhand.

The draft storyboard of "Naoki Hanzawa" is definitely going to be redrawn.

After all, this is the draft storyboard after he just finished drawing "Midnight Bell", and in his current vision, this draft storyboard of "Naoki Hanzawa" has too many shortcomings.

""Naoki Hanzawa" will be put aside for the first time." Tsukasa Higashino shook his head, put "Naoki Hanzawa" on the other side, and then picked up the brief score of the song "Once I Thought About It".

Now that there is no "unnatural death" to do, he feels that it is almost time to prepare this song.

"Chihaya."

Tsukasa Higashino walked out the door and glanced at Chihaya Higashino, who was watching TV with his neck stretched.

She sat on the sofa, kicking her snow-white little feet, with a happy smile on her face, and when she saw Tsukasa Higashino appear, she immediately jumped down from the sofa, walked up to him with a snap, and hugged Tsukasa Higashino hard.

"Asah, is the matter over?"

Higashino Chihaya took a deep breath as soon as she hugged Higashino Tsukasa, her height was a little shorter than Higashino Tsukasa, her head was just at the position of Higashino Tsukasa's chest, and with her inhaling movements, her jet-black hair moved and moved, looking very cute.

Seeing her like this, Higashino Tsukasa couldn't help but think of when he first came to this era.

At that time, Higashino Tsukasa had just come over, looking at the big mess of the original owner, and there was a sister with mental problems who needed to be served... I immediately wanted to send her to a psychiatric hospital - at least until the family's affairs were settled.

It can be seen that when Higashino Chihaya left fruits, snacks, and delicious meals for him even if he was hungry, Higashino Tsukasa hesitated.

After all, the other party is just a high school girl, so he sent her to a mental hospital for a while... Could it be a little cruel to her?

Thinking so, Tsukasa Higashino stayed with her temporarily.

It was a hard time.

Higashino Chihaya had just fallen into a state of insanity at that time, and he was scared to see anything, so he shrank his head wherever he was, and even when he went to the toilet and took a bath, Higashino Tsukasa had to stand outside the door and wait.

Tsukasa Higashino can only take leave at school and accompany Chihaya Higashino at home.

After the initial difficult half a month passed, Chihaya Higashino's condition stabilized, and Tsukasa Higashino was ready to go outside to find some lucrative work, and by the way, he continued to accompany Chihaya Higashino... Shibuya's selling of paintings was also a means that he came up with at that time.

But Higashino Chihaya didn't let Higashino Tsukasa continue to accompany her, on the contrary, she also asked Higashino Tsukasa to go to school early, so as not to delay her studies because of her sister...

Tsukasa Higashino still remembers the expression on Chihaya Higashino's face when he said this.

Her parents died, and she was in an extremely unstable situation, so she was very scared, but even so, she still pushed Tsukasa Higashino to go to school.

I have to say that even if she is mentally unstable, Higashino Chihaya is still a good sister... There is no doubt about it.

And now.

It is estimated that it is because Chihaya Higashino used to be a member of the music department.

So under the influence of the animated shorts of "Lemon" and "Although Our Hands Are Empty", Chihaya Higashino did gradually show signs of improvement.

This sign of improvement is not as trivial as before, but there are obvious traces.

Not only in matters related to cooking, but from time to time Higashino Tsukasa also found that Higashino Chihaya would look at her old homework books and textbooks with great nostalgia, and even hum some intermittent songs on her lips.

These songs have also been forged.,Most of them are original songs when Higashino Chihaya joined the troupe.,Although the lyrics of the song are very immature...

But it still lifted Higashino's spirits.

He also asked Chihaya Higashino about the details of these songs.

But Higashino Chihaya was just a little dazed, and his face was inexplicably said that he didn't seem to be humming any song just now.

The signs of recovery are all too obvious.

Thinking so, Higashino Tsukasa stretched out his hand, touched Higashino Chihaya's head, which was close to him, and replied with a smile: "It's already over, Chihaya sister." ”

"Really...?" Higashino Chihaya let go, took two steps back, and took a serious look at Higashino Tsukasa.

Her expression was a little suspicious, and after a while, she warned, "Ace, every time Koharu comes over, you have to talk to her for a long, long time... Don't do anything to be sorry for the cool flowers. ”

After finishing speaking, Higashino Chihaya's expression was a little dazed: "Hey? Why do I call Koharu 'Koharu Editor'? Did Koharu turn out to be an editor? ”

She was a little confused, but she quickly shook her head: "In short, you must not be distracted, otherwise my sister will definitely teach you a lesson... Well... My sister won't make you supper for ten days. ”

Higashino Chihaya's serious 'threat' made Higashino Tsukasa couldn't help but smile: "This is really a severe punishment, don't worry, Sister Chihaya, I don't mean to be careful." ”

"That's good!" Higashino Chihaya saw Higashino Tsukasa listening to himself like this, and couldn't help but nod his shoulders.

But she was worried that she was being a little harsh on her brother.

So he pretended to cough again, and whispered to him: "My sister is also for Ashao... I didn't say these things on purpose. Ace, don't hate your sister. ”

Her well-behaved appearance with big eyes made Higashino Tsukasa just smile when he saw it.

At the same time, Tsukasa Higashino didn't forget to look at the manuscript of "Once I Thought About a Hundred" in his hand...

The days that let Higashino Chihaya recover... Not far off.
