Fortunately, although the plot of Higashino Tsukasa is stuck here, there is also the original storyboard of the fourth and fifth episodes of "Unnatural Death".

Hosokawa Koharu continued to flip down, and as she expected, things did turn around in the back.

Mikoto Mitsumi deduced that it was not Wataru Takashima who contracted the infectious disease, but that the virus had leaked from the research laboratory of the Tokyo Metropolitan Hospital where he went, and that he was just an innocent victim.

After Mikoto Mitsumi dissected a patient who had just died, it was proved that it was indeed a virus leak in the hospital laboratory, and the deceased Takayashima Wataru was finally proven innocent.

There's also a particularly sensational plot here.

At sunset, Mikoto Mitsumi looked at Michiko Baba and secretly wiped her tears, she still didn't want to believe that her fiancé Wataru Takayashima was infectious.

"The bean paste buns in this house are delicious, let's eat them together."

"No, you don't."

"It's okay to take a bite."

"I'm not in the mood right now!" Baba Luzi choked and turned his head.

The setting sun stained the road red, and not far behind was a speeding tram.

The railroad tracks also symbolize parting.

"It's because I'm not in the mood that I want to eat."

Mikoto Mitsumi also noticed Mikoto's gaze at Baba Road, but still replied.

The sunset burns, and it seems that all regrets and lamentations have melted into this sunset.

The storyboard composition here is just too good.

The storyboard pulls backwards, and Michiko Baba and Mikoto Mitsumi look small under the sunset, and they can't see the expressions on their faces clearly, but Hosokawa Koharu can still feel the extra sad emotions in them.

"It's a good work indeed, Higashino-sensei." Koharu Hosokawa closed the manga and took a deep breath.

She didn't cry on the spot, but her eyes were also red, and she was obviously moved by the plot of the fourth and fifth episodes.

If she were to evaluate the plot of "Unnatural Death", it would be neither like traditional forensic comics nor traditional detective mystery comics.

Because traditional detective mystery comics will not spend nearly five words to solve only one incident, nor will it take nearly one word to portray supporting characters.

It's not that Tsukasa Higashino is a disadvantage in portraying characters in almost one sentence, but in Hosokawa Koharu's view, this is more of an advantage, because if you don't spend nearly a word portraying the supporting characters vividly, the sense of accomplishment when the incident is officially solved later will also be much weaker.

"That means it's okay, right?" Higashino asked.

"Hmm..."Hosokawa Koharu nodded, flipped through the original storyboard of Tsukasa Higashino several times, and still spoke: "It's really no problem in terms of plot alone, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's first-class." But the same drawbacks are also obvious. ”

At this point, Higashino certainly knew what she was trying to express.

He nodded, and then spoke: "Editor Hosokawa wants to say that the first incident took a full five words to solve, and this pace is too slow, right?" ”

Yes, the time of the whole five words, converted into serialization, that is the time of the whole five weeks, this rhythm is too slow.

Compared with the previous "Winner is Justice" painted by Tsukasa Higashino, the first event of "Unnatural Death" takes five words to really drag the rhythm.

But in fact, this problem has also been thought about by Tsukasa Higashino, and he also wants to make sure that the whole story can be more crisp by cutting out some plots.

But the first episode of the Japanese drama "Unnatural Death" has made rapid progress compared to similar Japanese dramas, and it is necessary to cut the meat from above... This causes the overall plot to become incomplete.

But whether it's the sunset dialogue between Michiko Baba and Mikoto Mitsumi, or the plot of Mikoto Mitsumi breaking up with her boyfriend in the first incident and wandering the streets of Tokyo... These are non-reductible.

So Higashino thought about it and decided to draw it.

"My idea is that instead of forcibly pursuing the speed of the plot, it is better to tell the story that should be told well." Tsukasa Higashino told Koharu Hosokawa his thoughts.

"Hmm... Higashino-sensei is right when he says that. Hosokawa Koharu thought about it and nodded, but as an editor, she still said everything she had to say: "But Mr. Higashino, you also have to be mentally prepared, I am very optimistic about the development of "Unnatural Death", but according to this foreshadowing speed, the results at the beginning will definitely not be particularly optimistic." ”

"I've been mentally prepared for it." Tsukasa Higashino was a little sorry: "It's just that I may be wronged by Hosokawa when the time comes." ”

Editor Hosokawa, as the editor-in-charge of Tsukasa Higashino, is also responsible for Tsukasa Higashino's grades, and if Tsukasa Higashino's grades fall, there is no doubt that Hosokawa Koharu will be under more pressure than Tsukasa Higashino - whether it is from colleagues or from his boss.

After all, Tsukasa Higashino is now the author of "Bad Cold", and Hosokawa Koharu is just a rookie editor who has just joined the company for a year...

"It's fine." Hosokawa Koharu smiled, and at the same time stretched out his slender palm at Higashino Tsukasa, and said very seriously, "I have confidence in 'Unnatural Death', Higashino-sensei." And just at the end of the fifth episode, we will publish a single book in five words, which is also conducive to the sales of our single book. ”

She doesn't care about pressure, she just wants to see Tsukasa Higashino draw the best manga in his own state.

That's the strength of Hosokawa Koharu.

Higashino Tsukasa was full of pride in his heart, and directly held Hosokawa Koharu's palm.

If you were another editor, you wouldn't have agreed to Higashino's request so easily.

The two quickly set a time for the receipt of the manuscript and discussed some details about "Unnatural Death".

After these conversations, Hosokawa Koharu didn't stay here to continue wasting Higashino's time, so he simply said hello and left Higashino's house.

The first episode of "Unnatural Death" took two weeks to prepare.

After all, there are fifty pages of foreshadowing space in the first episode of the comic.

Therefore, Tsukasa Higashino has been painting the first episode of "Unnatural Death" seriously for the past two weeks, and at the same time, he has not forgotten to receive the gold medal of the Art Creation Award.

This award is not as good as the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award, but it is quite interesting that the certificate of the award is actually replaced by a medal plated with a layer of gold on the surface.

Tsukasa Higashino is a gold reward, so it is gilded, and other silver and bronze rewards are silver plated and copper.

It was kind of interesting, but Tsukasa Higashino didn't pay much attention to it, and left it alone after putting it in the display case next to his studio.

This showcase was secretly bought by Ryoka Konoe for Tsukasa Higashino, and when she bought it, she still raised her face and said yearningly: "I hope that one day Ace can fill this showcase with it." ”

Tsukasa Higashino was also happy at the time, this showcase was two meters four high, and he had to fill it... How many prizes do you have to win?

Tsukasa Higashino didn't care about Ryoka Konoe's words, just as a joke, and continued to prepare for the first episode of "Unnatural Death".

Although the pace of "Unnatural Death" is slow this time, it does not mean that it will collapse miserably. Tsukasa Higashino can also modify some details to make up for this shortcoming.

Perhaps because practice makes perfect, a manuscript that could have taken 90 minutes to complete is now completed in 85 minutes.

That's a five-minute improvement, and it can save a lot of time.

After three weeks of wandering like this, the first episode of "Unnatural Death" was drawn.

"Bad Cold" also finished a comic with bad results, and at the same time put publicity on the inner page of the magazine - 'Higashino-sensei's new work "Unnatural Death" is about to start serialization! ’

Higashino fans who got the news were naturally excited, but they were quickly stunned.

Because it is not only a new work by Tsukasa Higashino, but also Mr. Ozawada of Iwakaku Publishing House and Mr. Sakamoto of Mozuki Bookstore have also released new works... Even some small anonymous publishing houses have some powerful authors to launch new comics.

This is great news for those who love comics, and there are so many options to choose from all at once.

Because whether it's Ozawada or Sakamoto or Tsukasa Higashino... They are the pillars of major publishing houses, and the quality of their comics makes readers feel relieved and happy to read them.

But... There are so many options that it's a little hard to choose. Do you want to read "Bad Cold" by Urashima Press, "Sunny" by Iwajiao Press, or "Flower Sakura" by Mozuki Shoten? It's hard to choose, it's hard to choose.

This may be a good thing for fans of manga, but for publishers...

"Sure enough, it started." The editor-in-chief of Urashima glanced at the "Sunshine" and "Flower Sakura" in front of him, and his heart fluctuated somewhat.

To be honest, he himself didn't want Higashino Tsukasa to go on this troubled water, but Higashino Tsukasa's side strongly requested, and it was impossible for him to really ignore the other party's opinion.

The only good news may be that Fuji Publishing House has not moved, and it should be that it doesn't want to send Suzuki Yu to get involved, so it's a little better.

At least it's just a fight with "Sunny" and "Flower Sakura", and you don't have to think about "Trembling" from Fuji Press... As for the other nameless little publishing houses?

Then it is not in the consideration of the editor-in-chief Urashima... They're just going to join in the fun, and they're not worried about the die-hard readers who like their comic magazines anyway, so there's basically no change.

And it's okay too... Kuronomiya Akisa's new manga "Island of Wild Evil" is also quite capable of playing, and in the case that Tsukasa Higashino is not serialized, it has been the first place in stable reader surveys.

She couldn't compete with Suzuki Yu at all before, but recently she has been basically equal to the popularity of Fuji Publishing Suzuki Ha. According to herself, Higashino-sensei teaches well... And it seems that he respects and worships Tsukasa Higashino...

Although I don't know when she had such a deep friendship with Higashino Division, the editor-in-chief of Urashima still has to sigh - a famous teacher makes a high apprentice.

Kuronomiya Akira can achieve such an achievement, so how weak can Tsukasa Higashino be?

"But..."The plot progress of the first episode of "Unnatural Death" is still a bit slow." Editor-in-chief Urashima shook his head.

I hope that Tsukasa Higashino can withstand the pressure and draw the first five episodes of "Unnatural Death" perfectly - he watched the plot and felt that as long as the fifth episode was drawn, the reputation and investigation of "Unnatural Death" would definitely grow explosively.

But the problem is to withstand the pressure...

And on the other side -

Hokugiku Juku has already opened.

"Huh? Why are so many good-looking manga authors preparing new comics lately? ”

Yumi Takahashi flipped through the recent magazines such as manga guides, and touched her head in confusion.

Although she is a fan of the standard "Chill" horror comics, she is also paying attention to the situation of other publishers, and if there are good comics, she does not mind starting with a single book.

"Huh? Isn't that just right? Don't you like that? Fujiwara Aoi flipped through the "Bad Cold" in his hand, and continued without raising his head.

"Good is good... But that's too dense. Yumi Takahashi pursed her pink lips, a little incomprehensible: "It stands to reason that the authors of the pillars of major publishing houses will basically give way to each other, and this kind of crowding together is too rare." ”

"Huh?" Fujiwara Aoi put down the "Bad Cold" in his hand and glanced at her: "I think you are just full and thinking too much, what else can be wrong with this?" ”

She continued: "Compared to that, show me if there are any good works of "Falling Sakura" in Mozuki Bookstore recently, and its sci-fi manga and shoujo manga are okay. ”

"Oh, don't digress." Yumi Takahashi was very unhappy and reached out and knocked on the table: "If you don't do it well this time, it will affect Higashino-sensei's grades." ”

Well?

This time, Fujiwara Aoi didn't maintain a posture of hanging high that didn't care about himself.

She frowned, and a hint of surprise flashed in her bright big eyes: "Will it affect the results of Higashino-san's new work?" ”

"yes. So many hot comics are released at the same time, isn't this just squeezing each other's living space. ”

Yumi Takahashi had a rare brainstorm: "Speaking of which, Mozhu Bookstore and Iwakaku Publishing House are already a joint venture, and the two of them will definitely not fight each other... Then the only target is Urashima Press. ”

Thinking of this, the two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw the bad look in each other's eyes.

Oops! Could it be that Higashino Tsukasa is going to be punished?

At the same time, Tsukasa Higashino was also called by many people who cared about him to ask about the situation.

Among them, the most intense attitude is probably Kuronomiya Mingsa.

She had no idea that Rock Point Press and Mozhu Bookstore would join forces... This is too much.

She respects Higashino Tsukasa very much, and she can't see Higashino Tsukasa suffering this kind of grievance at all, and Higashino Tsukasa also smiled at this and comforted her for a while, so she reluctantly persuaded the other party.

The days gradually passed in this situation, and Tsukasa Higashino's "Unnatural Death" finally officially began to be serialized on "Bad Cold".

In the midst of the attention of all parties, the results of the readers' praise rate of the first episode of "Unnatural Death" have also been slowly released.

The result was exactly what Tsukasa Higashino, Hosokawa Koharu, and Urashima had expected.

The first episode of "Unnatural Death" received 231 votes, and the reader's praise came second.

The first reader in the order of reading is "The Island of Wild Evil" by Akira Kuromiya.
