Chapter 148. Why is it so popular all of a sudden? (8000 words goal achieved!)
The three of them stood on the side of the road and finished the first sentence of "The Winner is Justice" on "Evil Cold".
After reading it, each of them exuded a feeling of unfinished business.
In particular, Yumi Takahashi has been shouting 'turn slowly, turn slowly, watch slowly', looking like she was afraid of reading this manga directly.
It's human nature.
When most people encounter a work they particularly like, they will basically watch it slowly, and they are reluctant to finish this work.
It's true for reading books, it's true for watching animations, and it's the same for watching TV series.
And Higashino Division's "Winner is Justice" is this kind of work in their eyes that they are afraid to finish reading it and are reluctant to finish it.
"I had an impulse." After watching "The Winner is Justice", Yumi Takahashi smacked her lips: "I want to take a knife and force Mr. Higashino to draw the draft of the next sentence tonight." β
"......" Aoi Fujiwara didn't speak, but there was also emotion in her eyes, and it seemed that she was also instigated.
The Konoe Lianghua next to her was still immersed in the plot, especially the Dai Zhenzhizi in it, with short hair and big breasts, which made her feel very immersed.
But as soon as she heard the plan of Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara, she immediately reacted, and in order to avoid conflicts between her friends and her boyfriend, she raised her hand stupidly: "I, I'm going to ask As, right...?" Yumi, don't go under the knife...? β
"Just kidding. I'm not the kind of fierce woman. β
Yumi Takahashi immediately explained that she was afraid that Ryoka Konoe would take it seriously.
But...
"The comic "Winner is Justice" is really good. Ah... I really want to see the second episode..."
She let out an exclamation.
At the same time, there were also people who made similar exclamations like her.
"It's Higashino Sensei from Urashima Publishing House again..."Kazuya Akasaka, who was holding the pen, stared at the "Bad Cold" and "Trembling" in front of him, and then looked at the empty manuscript in front of him, and fell into a state of some doubt about life.
The weekly issue of Asahi reviews many manga, analyzing their highlights, strengths and weaknesses.
However, most of the advantages are the works of Fuji Press, and most of the disadvantages are the works of other publishers - after all, "Asahin" is a magazine of Fuji Press.
It stands to reason that today, Fuji Fuji, the author of Fuji Press, came out with a new comic, and he should be going to brag about it, after all, we are all publications of the same publishing house.
And in fact, the works of Shumoto Fuji can indeed make him brag about it.
But at this moment...
"Another nemesis came out halfway through."
Kazuya Akasaka rubbed his temples, I really don't know what to say.
If Tsukasa Higashino draws a manga with an ordinary horror theme, then he doesn't care, he can ignore Tsukasa Higashino and continue to blow the manga "Lawyer Trap" by Honto.
But what is good about not dying is that the subject matter chosen by Tsukasa Higashino is in direct opposition to the vine of Shumoto.
It's also a lawyer's professional cartoon.
As the saying goes, where there is contrast, there will be gap.
And as long as it's the same comic theme, there will definitely be comparisons.
This really made Kazuya Akasaka nowhere to start.
Because I don't think much of it... Tsukasa Higashino's "Winner is Justice" has a big head over Tsumoto Fuji's "Lawyer Trap".
Readers are not blind.
And the readers of "Asahin" also have a lot of fans of Tsukasa Higashino, and if he rashly comments, he will definitely be attacked by this part of the readers.
But due to the similarity of the subject matter, he can't ignore Higashino Division's "The Winner is Justice".
So... Kazuya Akasaka is once again in trouble.
At the same time, it also made him can't help but pray to God and worship Buddha - please ask Higashinoji, a lifelong enemy, to receive supernatural powers, I just want to write a good review. Don't look at this moment and force yourself to get up.
"But it's okay, this is just the first word, and you can still be stunned by pretending to be stupid."
Kazuya Akasaka shook his head, still ready to write.
It's a big deal that I will be scolded as blind by readers, saying 'Blind, I don't even recommend the comic "The Winner is Justice", is it not long eyes'... He'd been scolded like that before.
But what else can you do?
In the face of Tsukasa Higashino's lifelong enemy, he really couldn't think of a way.
You can't let him lift a knife to solve the physical properties of Higashino Division's knife, out of sight and out of mind, right?
On the other side, Tsukasa Higashino, who had just finished class, received a call from Shinji Furuta.
No... The person on the other side of the phone was not Shinji Furuta, but Suzuki Ha.
This made Higashino Tsukasa a little surprised: "Shumoto Fuji-sensei, is there anything wrong?" β
His questioning was quite gentle, but not aggressive.
And thenβ
"I'm here to apologize!!"
The sound of the tree vine came from the phone, but the sound was a little loud.
Tsukasa Higashino only felt that he was about to be deaf by yelling.
His face was full of inexplicability, you said that you apologized for your sins, why did you still roar? It's still so loud? It's like I'm apologizing.
"No need to apologize, Shumoto-sensei." Tsukasa Higashino wasn't that small-bellied, and he really didn't care much about what Suzuki had said before.
In fact, Suzuki Yu girls are a clear stream in this industry, and it is indeed an admirable thing to be able to maintain their true intentions.
"No! I'm going to apologize! Suzuki Yu was on the phone, and he didn't care whether Higashino could see it or not, so he bowed without a little hesitation: "I'm really sorry for the trouble I said too arrogant things before!! β
Her tone was sincere, not the slightest hint of falsehood.
Just talking... Higashino heard a low sobbing voice on the other side of the phone.
Higashino opened his mouth in disbelief: "Shumoto Fuji-sensei? β
How can you just cry when you say this?
Just now, he was sincere in tone, and he looked happy and convinced.
"It's not about Mr. Higashino, I'm just unwilling to lose."
Suzuki wiped away her tears and answered him immediately.
Oh, yes... I'm so unwilling...
With a time difference of forty-five days, she was really pulled back by Higashino Division, and the other party directly defeated her.
"But I'm not going to lose again." Suzuki Yu added seriously, "I will definitely catch up with you, Higashino-sensei." β
There are a lot of things that happen in the series.
Many manga authors draw the rhythm and plot of the entire manga and then all collapse - this is also a normal thing.
Suzuki Ha, on the other hand, belongs to the genre that gets better and better the more you draw.
She belongs to the kind of genius comic book author who is easy to get better the more she draws.
So as long as she keeps pace and takes one step at a time, she will definitely be able to surpass Tsukasa Higashino... At least that's what Suzuki Ha thinks.
If one word is not enough, the second word.
If the second word is not enough, the third word.
All the way on, there will be no end to the children and grandchildren.
That's probably the kind of mentality she has.
And Higashino Tsukasa listened to her and replied very happily: "If that's the case, I'll come up with a better manuscript in the next sentence." I will never let you exceed Mr. Shumototo. β
He's not so hypocritical as to say, 'Then I'll wait for you to catch up.'
We still have to fight for it, and if we don't work hard, we won't get anything.
Do you really think that the world is full of the kind of male protagonists who don't fight for anything, don't think about anything, and then send beautiful women and wealth to the door?
It's impossible.
The comic industry is originally crowded with people, people step on people, Suzuki Yu wants to fight, and Higashino Tsukasa naturally wants to fight too.
Who wouldn't want to be a national-level manga author?
Listening to Tsukasa Higashino's words, Suzuki Yu over there also laughed twice and hung up the call.
The other party is a person with a strong desire to win, and the same is true of Tsukasa Higashino.
In that case, there is not much to say.
"The winner is justice" needs to work harder."
Tsukasa Higashino searched for memories and soon thought of the famous ninth episode of "Winner is Justice".
One by one, people are sick because of the arrival of chemical factories, water sources are polluted, the soil is barren, and poisons are everywhere... In this case, the villagers find Kensuke Komimen and entrust him with defeating Senyu Chemical...
This may seem like a sparse and ordinary case.
But there's a lot to talk about the elderly, pollution, and Japanese culture.
And "The Winner is Justice" is one of these places that has been discussed, so it can be called a national hit drama.
In the face of the accusations of the elderly villagers and the decision to withdraw the lawsuit, Kensuke Furumon said to Dai Zhenzhizi behind him with an extremely frivolous attitude: "Dai, you remember, this is the deep-rooted culture of licking each other's wounds in this country. If humans are used to being kept for a long time, they will become parasite-like creatures like this. β
The villagers of Juanmei, who were ridiculed as parasites, were excited, and several old men even wanted to rush up and fight with Kensuke Komimon.
But in the face of their accusations, Kensuke Komimen just sneered twice: "So what! So do you want to be pity? So you want to be soothed? So people will be happy if they are kind to you? β
Komimon's voice grew louder, and he seemed to condemn the villagers from the bottom of his heart:
"I'll tell you! Money isn't everything! Money is the way you take revenge on your opponents, and the way to see your backbone is the most appropriate price to pay for reclaiming what you have been stripped of and your dignity that has been trampled on, and nothing else. β
And this paragraph was also cut by many Celestial Empire viewers in the previous life as a famous scene of Amway's Japanese drama.
Tsukasa Higashino plans to insert this famous scene into the third episode of the manga in reverse, and from the third episode, the atmosphere of the entire "Winner is Justice" will be lively!
Just as Tsukasa Higashino was thinking about how to arrange the plot perfectly, Urashima Publishing House on the other side was also busy.
That's what the newsroom is like.
When I'm free, I'm idle, and when I'm busy, I can't wait to move the bedding to the company for overtime.
"Isn't the urgent stats for "Winner is Justice" out yet? Let the people over there have a snack on the other side of the statistics! β
"Is the poster sticking up? Mr. Higashino is the pillar of our Urashima Publishing House, and the posters should be spread out in large quantities, and they must be on the subway and buses. β
"What was the response to the promotion of advertorials? Nice? Then hurry up and write again... By the way, pull the newspaper reporter from the Asahi Shimbun side over... Their editor-in-chief still owes me a drink... It's just this time to use favors. β
The editor-in-chief of Urashima sent instructions one after another, and the entire editorial department was spinning in succession.
He couldn't calm downβ
Because the response to "Winner is Justice" is simply too great.
It's even bigger than the response of "Midnight Bell"!
This is not an exaggeration.
"Midnight Bell" is a national-level horror comic.
But it's just a horror comic, it will generate discussion because of horror, but it will only generate discussion and topics.
But "Winner is Justice" is different.
On the one hand, Tsukasa Higashino has accumulated a lot of popularity through "Midnight Bell" and "Lonely Gourmet".
Second, there are many reflections on 'justice' and 'law' in "The Winner is Justice".
Komeimon's ideas are too trendy.
Is the law really just?
Is it right to pursue justice?
Is there justice in real life?
Discussions such as these have exploded in many forums in Japan in an instant.
And "Midnight Bell" as a horror comic is at most terrifying, and it is impossible to produce this kind of mutual discussion and mutual argument topical effect.
Many people posted on the Internet, saying that Tsukasa Higashino's "Winner is Justice" is simply a masterpiece.
And in the same way, there are also quite a few people who say that the idea of Kensuke Komito in "The Winner is Justice" is too extreme...
After all, it's 2003, and the Showa legacy is quite serious.
A considerable number of people can't accept such a utilitarian, lustful, and unprofessional character as Kensuke Komemon.
But even if it is so, the reviews are not polarized, but rather positive.
Because in the final analysis, the readership of "Bad Cold" is young people.
Coupled with the drawing skills of Tsukasa Higashino... It's a novel experience that many readers want to experience it a few more times after experiencing it once.
The discussion of the comic "Winner is Justice" was also instantly marked as 'Akamaru Rush Ascension' by the Japanese public trust list to the extent that it was visible to the naked eye.
This is also the fifth or sixth time that Tsukasa Higashino has been on the public trust list, and this time the popularity directly surpassed the news of a celebrity's derailment, and directly jumped to the first place on the Japanese public trust list. (The first few times were discussions on the food of "Midnight Bell" and "The Lonely Gourmet")
In the face of such heat, some news media naturally did not let go.
They are grinding their pens and wiping their guns, ready to bring out the name 'Higashino Division', which has been used badly before, and rub another wave of popularity!
At the same time, they can't help but sigh a little - what a ghost-like comic book author, any cartoon drawn can be hyped to such a point.
A genius is a genius! Awesome!
This has led to a resurgence in the popularity of "Winner is Justice".
Quite a few people... And not even just young people... Even some professional lawyers have paid attention to this comic that suddenly appeared in one day.
They also want to see... What exactly is this cartoon talking about a lawyer?
Why is it so popular all of a sudden?
