"Unnatural Death" is going to be closed for a week?

In less than a moment, the news spread throughout the editorial office of the entire publishing house, and the entire editorial office was so big that the fact that the original manuscript of "Unnatural Death" was not submitted could be known at once.

This made the Uradao editorial branch on the other side, which was in charge of printing literary works, curious.

Because it's really a novelty.

Most of the editors who work at Urashima Publishing House know that Tsukasa Higashino's "Unnatural Death" has always been the treasure of the publishing house, and they are usually afraid of melting when they hold it in their mouths.

And Higashino Tsukasa is also very competitive, not to mention the closure of the publication, the plot and sales of the manga have always been high.

Why did you suddenly close the publication today?

The Japanese workplace is not as good as the workplace in other countries, and it is natural that there will be people who chew their tongues behind their backs, especially this kind of rare thing.

There was gradually a discussion in the editorial department, and Hosokawa Koharu was the first to bear the brunt.

Colleagues were curious to ask her if there was something wrong with Tsukasa Higashino's body - after all, Tsukasa Higashino has been serializing weekly and monthly magazines at the same time for a long time, and this kind of high-intensity work feels that sudden death is not uncommon.

No one thought about the relationship between her and Tsukasa Higashino, after all, in their opinion, this was a very ordinary personnel change, and Hosokawa Koharu was more unlucky, and he just lost Tsukasa Higashino, a big performer.

In the face of a colleague's question, Hosokawa Koharu, who was immersed in work, also showed an expression that he didn't expect at all.

As an editor who has been working with Tsukasa Higashino for nearly two years, she knows Higashino's attitude best.

The other party's manuscript is basically prepared three or four days in advance, and she basically doesn't have to bother, just go over and get the manuscript.

She finally fooled her colleagues, and then ran outside the editorial office and called Tsukasa Higashino.

Not long after the call came, Tsukasa Higashino over there had already been connected.

Without hesitation, she asked directly: "Mr. Higashino, I just heard the news that "Unnatural Death" will be closed this week..."

"yes, it's closed, and this week's manuscript isn't ready." Higashino said heavily, "It's been a bit much lately. ”

"It's a bit much... Did you just come back from a trip and didn't have time to draw the original manuscript? ”

Hosokawa Koharu asked with concern.

She has always felt that she owes Tsukasa Higashino, after all, as an editor, she just receives manuscripts, and she doesn't do anything else... She's also a little embarrassed.

"Ah, almost." Tsukasa Higashino over there replied with a smile.

"That's right... It turned out that I was too busy, so I didn't have time to hand in the manuscript... But I think I heard Higashino-sensei hear something from your side just now..."

The more Hosokawa Koharu listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he asked.

But before she could finish asking, she heard a 'self-touching' sound from the other side.

This silenced her for a moment.

This... Mahjong is directly played? Still too busy?

Hosokawa Koharu opened his mouth, just about to say something, but was interrupted by Higashino Tsukasa with a smile: "I didn't play mahjong, it was Ah Kui and they were playing." How can I possibly play mahjong? ”

"Oh," Hosokawa Koharu nodded reluctantly... It's good that Higashino didn't play mahjong.

Then she heard Tsukasa Higashino add: "I'm playing games with Sister Chihaya next to me." ”

These words made Hosokawa Koharu, who had just put his mind at ease, cough violently.

After a long while, she said with a little crying and laughing: "Mr. Higashino, really, don't make fun of me." ”

"I didn't make fun of you." The laughter of Tsukasa Higashino over there gradually died down, and he said: "There are still five episodes of "Unnatural Death" that are coming to an end, and this can't be changed. ”

Yes.

The end of "Unnatural Death" is inevitable.,To the back, all the foreshadowing in front of the front will be recycled one by one.,If you want to continue the painting, you will have to start a lengthy foreshadowing.,Higashino Tsukasa doesn't want to be like that.,Similarly,He also knows how many pounds and taels he has.。

Therefore, even if someone had a gun on his head, he would never... Belch... Be able to think about it a little. But it's just a little bit of thought.

Part of the reason for his suspension was indeed because of Hosokawa Koharu, but partly because "Unnatural Death" had to be finished, so he resorted to this method.

It's not a clever tactic, but it's lethal enough.

At least Hosokawa Koharu took the initiative to call and ask, and Tsukasa Higashino probably knew that the editorial office over there should be discussing.

Hosokawa Koharu heard the tone of Tsukasa Higashino never taking a step back, and she could only laugh helplessly: "I understand, Mr. Higashino." ”

She originally wanted to persuade Tsukasa Higashino not to do such an impulsive thing as suspending the publication, but since Higashino Tsukasa already had a plan, she couldn't continue to talk about it.

And... How to say it.

She found that she was actually a little inexplicably dependent on Tsukasa Higashino, and when things broke out before, she even wanted to take the initiative to call Tsukasa Higashino...

This made Hosokawa Koharu a little surprised, it turned out that unconsciously, he had long been dependent on this young high school student who was much younger than him.

For this situation, Hosokawa Koharu could not find a solution either.

She figured out what Higashino was thinking, hung up the phone, and glanced at the editorial office.

I don't know what will happen after that...

......

"Welcome back."

Holding the new issue of "Bad Cold" in his hand, Kazuya Akasaka just spat out.

As the saying goes, only the opponent knows the opponent best, and as the main author of "Asahin", Kazuzu Akasaka has gradually become a fan of "Unnatural Death" in the process of constantly studying "Unnatural Death".

No way.

Even as an opponent, Kazuya Akasaka saw the work of Tsukasa Higashino, and had to sigh that "Unnatural Death" was indeed well drawn, worthy of the work that squeezed into the ceiling of the manga.

He has been watching every issue of "Unnatural Death", and this issue is naturally no exception.

But—

"Huh? What about Unnatural Death? Kazuya Akasaka repeatedly flipped through the "Bad Cold" in his hand and made sure that he didn't find "Unnatural Death" before frowning.

What's going on?

He flipped through the pages for a long time, trying to find this issue of "Unnatural Death".

But no matter how you turn it...

I couldn't find it at all.

He even re-opened the catalog, but no matter how much he searched, what he couldn't find was just what he couldn't find.

"Unnatural Death" seems to have suddenly disappeared from "Bitter Cold", completely lost.

Kazuya Akasaka pinched this issue of "Bad Cold" and thought about it for a while, and then he was sure of one thing.

"Could it be that Unnatural Death has been discontinued?"

Closed.

This is a very common thing in the comics industry, comic authors are also ordinary people, they also have illness, accidents, death of relatives and other things, when this force majeure factor occurs, the editorial department will choose to stop the serialization of the work, let the work be suspended.

It would have been a very common thing, but—

"That Higashino-sensei will be closed?" Kazuya Akasaka had an incredulous expression.

Tsukasa Higashino, who has never stopped publishing since his debut... This time the journal was voluntarily closed?

What's wrong? Could it be that he was in a car accident? Or is the hand broken? Otherwise, Tsukasa Higashino wouldn't have been suspended.

He flipped through the "Bad Cold" in his hand, and many ideas popped up in an instant, but in the end, he shook his head helplessly, and read the "Bad Cold" in his hand again.

To be honest, "Bad Cold" without "Unnatural Death" feels like it's just a pretty ordinary magazine, except for Kuronomiya Akisa's "Island of Wild Evil", which can still be expected, the storytelling level of other authors is obviously a lot worse.

This made Kazuya Akasaka put down "Evil Cold" directly after watching "The Island of Wild Evil", and felt a little tasteless and a pity to abandon it.

This is not to say that the quality of the comic authors on "Bad Cold" is not good, but you go to a high-end restaurant with the mood of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, only to find that the other party only served you a few home-cooked side dishes... The gap is not too big.

In other words, Kazuya Akasaka also got the opportunity to criticize "Bad Cold" - he usually has "Unnatural Death" in it, and he basically doesn't talk much.

And now... "Chill" without "Unnatural Death"... Of course he had to step on it.

The most important thing is that he is also a little depressed in his heart, and he can't see "Unnatural Death", of course he has to find a place to vent.

Of course, he also has to ask friends in the industry if something happened to Higashino Division.

And equally depressed is Hiroshi Kanzaki, who just came home from work and bought a copy of "Bad Cold".

He is a pure fan of Tsukasa Higashino, and he bought a large box around "Unnatural Death", and the main reason for buying "Bad Cold" is also for Tsukasa Higashino's works.

But today...

"Unnatural Death is out of publication? What's going on? ”

Hiroshi Kanzaki looked at the "Bad Cold" in his hand, and a look of confusion appeared on his calm face.

He had the impression that it was a rare thing for Tsukasa Higashino to close the publication...

But Kanzaki didn't care too much,

"Let's see what the official website of Urashima Press says."

He got up and turned on the computer next to him and found the official website of Urashima Press.

Perhaps considering the mood of readers, the first announcement at the top of the official website of Urashima Publishing House is about the reason for the suspension of Tsukasa Higashino.

The general meaning is that Mr. Higashino has just returned from a trip and has no time to prepare for the latest episode of "Unnatural Death", so he can only make a very sorry decision here, and that is to close the publication this week.

This is all official language, but it makes Kanzaki Hiroshi relieved.

Higashino-sensei is fine.

There were also quite a few comments under this announcement.

"When I learned that Unnatural Death was closed, I was actually very worried, but luckily nothing happened to Higashino-san... It's good to take a break, and serialize weekly and monthly magazines at the same time, Higashino-san has worked hard. ”

"It's good that Higashino-sensei doesn't have a physical problem, but even if he does, it doesn't matter, as long as Higashino-sensei's hand is not broken, he can continue to draw... I'm looking forward to coming week's "Bitter Cold". ”

"I especially like Higashino-san's "Lemon", and I think it's better to relax, come on."

Most of the comments below are asking Tsukasa Higashino to take a break, drink plenty of hot water, and not work too hard.

Of course, there are occasionally some untimely voices that jump out, but they are quickly drowned out by the wave of concern.

Many people naturally expressed regret, feeling that without "Unnatural Death" this week, their withdrawal reaction was about to come out, and they hoped that Higashino Tsukasa could draw a new sentence as soon as possible.

There are also some people who feel that Higashino Tsukasa is finally like a person, and he has stopped publishing at least once, unlike the printing press, which can really rotate 24 hours a day.

These comic comments are also a pleasure to see Hiroshi Kanzaki, but this is also the basic operation as a fan of Tsukasa Higashino-

He hesitated for a while, but also participated in the discussion, as for "Bad Cold", it was placed next to it, and only after remembering it did he look at "The Island of Evil and Evil" by Kuromiya Mingsha.

And on the other side.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Higashino's "Unnatural Death" was suspended this week." Chimi Nagawa looked at Kuronomiya Akisa, who was holding a sketchbook, and said hello.

They are still in Hokkaido for an internship visit, and on the first floor of Yamauchi, they were assigned homework to the Musashino Art University, and they sketched fifteen sheets a day, as much as they could, and they also had to prepare local landscape oil paintings.

Hokkaido, unlike Aomori Prefecture, where Higashino is located, has a temperate monsoon climate with a cold climate, and the temperature is already in a cooling period for the past two days, with temperatures ranging from 10 to 8 degrees Celsius, and it feels like snow will fall in two or three weeks.

The theme of Kuronomiya's oil paintings is to paint the natural snow scenery of Hokkaido.

At this time, hearing Chimi Nagawa's voice, Kuronomiya Akisa's sketchbook was put down slightly, and the demure face turned around: "What? ”

She was stunned, wondering if she had heard it wrong.

"Mr. Higashino is out of publication." Chimi Nagawa explained again.

Syllable!

Chimi Nagawa only felt a pain on her face, as if something had bounced.

When she opened her eyes and looked over again, she found that the pencil that Kuronomiya Akira was holding had broken in two - the pencil shaft was actually pinched off by her!

"I'm going to call the newsroom and ask about the situation."

Kuronomiya Akira stuffed the broken pen in her hand into Chimi Nagawa's hand, then stood up and took out her phone.

The teacher is out of publication?

Why doesn't she, the 'disciple in the house' (self-proclaimed), know anything about it?

No, you have to ask.

In this way, there was a lot of movement outside around the topic of Tsukasa Higashino's closure.

This made the editor-in-chief of Urashima recognizable to the influence of Tsukasa Higashino.

If you want to replace it with other ordinary comic book authors, it is estimated that it will not even make waves.

As a result, Higashino Tsukasa was suspended, not only for the announcement, but also for many authors of "Bad Cold" to call to ask about the situation...

But the editor-in-chief of Urashima can only fool around with these inquiries at will.

And that's just the first week off...

If Tsukasa Higashino closes next week...

That's not like an announcement that Higashino doesn't have time...

Fans can be very tolerant, but that's for the author.

If they knew that it was because of the personnel transfer that caused Higashino's dissatisfaction, and finally caused this result...

That's a lot of fun!
