The reason why Hosokawa Koharu said that "Naoki Hanzawa" deserves this evaluation.

It's not just about the plot.

It also refers to Tsukasa Higashino's drawing skills and the grasp of storyboards.

Let's say the final plot of this draft storyboard.

Naoki Hanzawa confronts the head of the Asano branch.

The camera is split into two sides.

On the right is Naoki Hanzawa, and on the left is the head of the Asano branch.

The head of the Asano branch is in high spirits, standing under the street lamp at night, looking extremely bright.

And Hanzawa Naoki, who is his subordinate, can only be reflected by the light to the side of his face, as if he is going to be pulled into the abyss.

500 million yen at fault!

It's definitely a big black cauldron!

The credit of the subordinates belongs to the boss, and the mistakes of the boss are resisted.

This is a very famous phrase in the bank.

And Hanzawa Naoki was chosen by the head of the Asano branch as a substitute for the dead ghost.

Hanzawa Naoki's expression was solemn, and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed - it was a very 'forced' expression.

Hosokawa Koharu, who was aware of this at the time, was stunned.

You know, it's just a comic.

How exactly did Tsukasa Higashino draw a flat, manga simplified face with that feeling of 'force'?

It's an amazing technique.

I really brought a flat image to life.

On the other side, the president of the Asano branch talked and laughed happily, his face was calm, and he didn't seem to care about the life or death of Naoki Hanzawa's subordinate.

The lights of the street lamps were bright and dim, signaling a break between the two sides.

The huge loan scam that overwhelms people, the tense atmosphere, the lines on the gram, and the oppressive line shadows!

Is this the modern workplace?

It's just a draft storyboard.,Tsukasa Higashino relied on the basic skills that were too terrifying.,Draw the feeling of the original manga.。

Therefore, the reason why Hosokawa Koharu thinks "Naoki Hanzawa" is wonderful.

Half of it is due to the wonderful plot itself.

And the other half, Tsukasa Higashino's painting work is absolutely indispensable.

Hosokawa Koharu can even say a polite word.

On painting alone.

Manga authors of any publishing house are definitely no match for Tsukasa Higashino!

She spoke so highly of "Naoki Hanzawa" that it made Tsukasa Higashino a little uncomfortable.

After all, according to the previous routine, Hosokawa Koharu will more or less express a little concern about the theme and plot of Tsukasa Higashino.

And this time his preparation time is really short, and he took out "Naoki Hanzawa" in a week.

Doesn't Hosokawa Koharu want to express some worries even more?

But this time, Hosokawa Koharu skipped all these conventions and directly began to tout the link.

This is obviously unreasonable.

As if to see Tsukasa Higashino's thoughts, Hosokawa Koharu smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" Mr. Higashino, don't you think "Naoki Hanzawa" deserves this evaluation? ”

She had thought that Higashino would be a little more modest.

But what she didn't expect was that Higashino Tsukasa just nodded and said confidently: "I think "Hanzawa Naoki" is completely worthy of this evaluation. ”

This made Hosokawa Koharu cough dryly, and then continued to speak: "It is worthy of Mr. Higashino, who is so confident in his work at any time." ”

Regarding Hosokawa Koharu's words, Higashino just smiled and nodded.

Joke.

This was a phenomenal Japanese drama of the year.

The plots are all top-notch.

It's not like the average Japanese drama, where each episode has only one climax.

"Naoki Hanzawa" has two or three climax points in each episode, and various flips and slaps in the face.

Although manga can't get a great actor like Masato Sakai like Japanese dramas.

But relying on Tsukasa Higashino's painting skills can make up for this.

If you don't have the confidence to do so... Nakashino really felt that he should find a trash can by himself and threw himself in.

"Then I'll accept this draft storyboard of "Hanzawa Naoki" for the time being, Mr. Higashino."

As he spoke, Hosokawa tucked the draft storyboard into his briefcase.

As mentioned earlier, this draft storyboard will be brought back for discussion.

After all, this is the work of Tsukasa Higashino.

As for things like serialized meetings...

Generally speaking, each manga author's work can only be serialized in a weekly or monthly magazine through a serialization meeting, where a majority of the editorial team leaders vote in favor.

But Tsukasa Higashino's work can completely ignore this rule, and you can start serializing it after following a process.

Some might say that this is unfair to other works.

But that's the place for the publishing house.

As long as Tsukasa Higashino's work is taken out, there will be no opposition from the editorial team leader.

After accepting the draft storyboard, Hosokawa Koharu reintroduced Chihaya Higashino.

"The editor of Urashima Press...?" Higashino Chihaya coughed dryly, and then bowed deeply embarrassedly: "I'm really embarrassed." ”

It is estimated that there is a shadow of Chihaya Higashino in the past, so she still thinks that Hosokawa Koharu and Higashino Tsukasa may be engaged in some kind of office romance just now.

But now looking at Hosokawa Koharu's expression of not dodging or dodging, and not being empty at all, she feels that there is a little possibility... It's my own bias.

"Nothing, Chihaya." Hosokawa Koharu smiled generously, shook hands, and then exchanged a few more words of greeting with Higashino Chihaya, briefly introducing his previous relationship with her.

In the past, Chihaya Higashino and Koharu Hosokawa were friends.

Although now from scratch.

But Higashino Chihaya always felt very familiar with each other, and they could understand each other just by exchanging a few words.

It is estimated that there is also a shadow of the communication between Higashino Chihaya and Hosokawa Koharu before.

Seeing Hosokawa Koharu turn around and leave, Higashino Chihaya also breathed a sigh of relief, and then came to his younger brother and began to interrogate directly.

"Ace, do you have any feelings for Sister Xiaochun?"

"Huh?" Tsukasa Higashino glanced at her inexplicably.

Didn't Hosokawa Koharu introduce it just now? It's just that the two of them are just friends.

Why did Higashino Chihaya come to ask a word or two about himself?

Tsukasa Higashino didn't understand what Chihaya Higashino meant.

But soon I heard her explanation:

"It's also possible that Sister Xiaochun is shy and unwilling to tell me the truth. But Sister Xiaochun is a little old, and by the time you go to college, Sister Xiaochun will be twenty-six or seventeen years old, right? That's a problem. ”

This is said reasonably, which makes Higashino Tsukasa cry and laugh.

"There's no such thing as you think, Koharu and I are friends."

Although Tsukasa Higashino usually calls the other party Hosokawa editor at work, it is no problem to call Hosokawa Koharu by name in private.

"Really? I'm just a little worried about that... Compared to Sister Xiaochun, Lianghua is still a little green, after all, she is just a high school student. Don't you boys like older ones? ”

"Then you're insulting us boys, what do you mean by liking older people?"

"Really?" Higashino Chihaya glanced at Higashino Tsukasa obliquely: "Then Ace, what type do you boys like?" ”

Tsukasa Higashino took a sip of tea with a smile and explained.

"We boys like to be good-looking."

Man.

In the final analysis, it is human nature to like good-looking and good figures.

As for the rest...

Tsukasa Higashino guesses that the boy really hasn't thought much about it.

"Huh?"

Higashino's words made Higashino Chihaya stunned.

By that standard... Isn't she in that range?

Higashino Chihaya was stunned, as if she wanted to say something, but before she could speak, Higashino Tsukasa, who seemed to see through her thoughts, flicked her smooth forehead vigorously.

This was like teaching a child's action, so Higashino Chihaya couldn't help but glare at the other party slightly.

This is her killer weapon against Tsukasa Higashino.

As for the other ways...?

She can't beat or scold Tsukasa Higashino, right?

My brother is also a very decent author who pulls out.

She, as an older sister, naturally wants to save face for the other party.

In desperation, she could only stare at Higashino Tsukasa like this, wanting to regain a little bit of her sister's dignity with this.

But if you look at it from the perspective of Tsukasa Higashino.

Her actions actually have a feeling of being angry and spoiled...

......

"A complete workplace comic?"

When he learned about the new comics of Tsukasa Higashino, the editor-in-chief of Urashima raised his head with a somewhat surprised expression.

I was a little surprised, indeed.

He has always known Tsukasa Higashino's path to Ziye, after all, Tsukasa Higashino is a half-way manga author.

But Rao is the editor-in-chief of Urashima didn't expect him to be so wild.

The semi-forensic and half-detective theme of "Unnatural Death" last time was enough to go off the rails.

I didn't expect Higashino Division to come to a more partial one this time.

Speaking of the workplace.

Most people probably find it boring and boring.

Because they usually experience too much unfair and unequal treatment in the workplace.

And Tsukasa Higashino actually chose this kind of theme.

And most importantly... Tsukasa Higashino has no experience working in the workplace.

At most, it used to work with the "Midnight Bell" animated film production team to produce "Midnight Bell".

Workplace Comics...

In the eyes of Urashima's editor-in-chief, this must be a challenge for Tsukasa Higashino.

But—

"Since it's Higashino-sensei, I guess what he brought out won't disappoint me, right? Edited by Hosokawa. ”

Urashima editor-in-chief smiled, and his sense of expectation for Tsukasa Higashino was the fullest.

"Higashino-sensei's work is truly amazing." Hosokawa Koharu replied with a smile: "It will definitely be beyond what Urashima Editor-in-Chief you imagined." ”

"Unbelievable? Editor Hosokawa is going too far. ”

Urashima's editor-in-chief happily took over Tsukasa Higashino's "Naoki Hanzawa".

At the same time, he did not forget to add: "My evaluation of Higashino-sensei's manga has always been a perfect score of 100, which is already the highest evaluation." ”

Oh, yes.

He's already full of expectations and evaluations, and if Tsukasa Higashino can still surprise him... So what does the other party get?

But...

"Editor Hosokawa, you should print a copy of this draft storyboard for the other editors, right?"

"I did ask someone from the administration department to help print it."

Hosokawa Koharu nodded.

"Oh?" Urashima's editor-in-chief became interested: "In this case, then the two of us should not hide from the discussion like this, brainstorming is the best choice." ”

"That's a little bit unpleasant, Editor-in-Chief Urashima." Hosokawa Koharu's face was embarrassed: "Although Higashino-sensei's work is very exciting, in the final analysis, it is just a draft of the storyboard, not the original manga. Just call all the editors to discuss it..."

The significance of Urashima's editor-in-chief convening all the editors to discuss it and Hosokawa Koharu's request for the editors to read the draft storyboard is completely different.

The former is commanding in nature.

The latter is of a requesting nature.

The most important thing is that Tsukasa Higashino is only a draft storyboard, and the commanding behavior of Urashima Editor-in-Chief seems to others to be obviously biased.

Favoring her and Tsukasa Higashino.

This is actually not a good thing for her, a junior editorial team leader.

Regarding Hosokawa Koharu's worries, Urashima's editor-in-chief happily didn't care.

"Even if it's just a draft storyboard, I believe Higashino-sensei's work is worth it."

"As for the issue of eccentricity... If the authors under their command can also show the kind of results of Higashino-sensei, I will also choose to be partial. ”

Yes, there are no results, and everything is in vain.

Urashima's editor-in-chief simply stood up, walked out the door with a draft storyboard, and at the same time summoned the editors of the editorial department.

"Everybody take a look at the work that Ed. Hosokawa just printed... This is a draft storyboard of the work that Tsukasa Higashino, the author of the pillar of this publishing house, has just completed, and the work is called "Hanzawa Naoki". ”

As he spoke, Urashima also showed off the draft storyboard in his hand a little.

There are some veteran editors at the bottom, and naturally some think that the editor-in-chief of Urashima is making a big fuss.

They can understand the concern of Tsukasa Higashino, as the pillar, and the editor-in-chief about his work.

But...

It's not even a comic manuscript, it's just a sketch...

Because the comic book author of this thing can change it at will, and even scribble.

But since the editor-in-chief of Urashima has spoken, they have no choice but to take out the draft of the storyboard of "Hanzawa Naoki" from the desktop on the side, and start to look through the review page by page.

Looking at the editors below reviewing the manuscript in an orderly manner, the editor-in-chief of Urashima here did not hesitate, pinched a corner of the original manuscript and flipped it open, looking at it page by page.

For a while, the entire Urashima Publishing House was only the sound of quietly turning the pages.

Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help but look up at the expressions of the editors, wondering what kind of quality Higashino-sensei's draft storyboard was in their eyes.

But when she looked at it, she saw that something was not quite right.

Because it's been four or five minutes now... The editors at the bottom don't even have the idea of letting go.

You must know that the editors of Urashima Publishing House are very experienced, and they only need to read the first half of the review to roughly understand the specific quality of the comic.

But this time... They didn't just read the first half.

And even constantly, word by word, looking at the second half.

That is to say...

Higashino-sensei's "Naoki Hanzawa" is also a rare masterpiece in their eyes?

Hosokawa Koharu held his breath slightly.

If she thinks she's good-looking... That opinion can only be said to be singular.

But if the whole editorial department thinks it looks good...

Then this "Naoki Hanzawa" is really a bit amazing.

In her thoughts, the editor-in-chief of Urashima, who was the first to finish watching "Naoki Hanzawa", raised his head and exhaled slightly.

Then, he turned his head sideways and looked at Hosokawa Koharu.

"Let me start with my opinion."

"It's good, I want to see the next episode."
