"Naoki Hanzawa" became popular, and it was inexplicably popular.

Even the department in charge of statistics at the Toshima Publishing House, which is in charge of statistics, did not even think of it.

In anticipation, "Hanzawa Naoki" will take at least a day or two to precipitate before it becomes popular, after all, compared with those old comics that have been serialized for more than ten years and more than 20 years, "Hanzawa Naoki" is only the first word.

How is it possible to hang other manga to fight so quickly?

They were a little caught off guard by the speed of "Hanzawa Naoki", and showed unexpected expressions.

Even the editor-in-chief of Urashima and the deputy editor-in-chief of Furuta Shinji urgently sent out the new data sheet.

""Naoki Hanzawa has worked?"

"Higashino-sensei is really still Higashino-sensei... It didn't disappoint..."

"Isn't this a level that doesn't disappoint?"

The editors below are full of discussions.

Although there is a fame bonus of Tsukasa Higashino himself, it can't change that "Naoki Hanzawa" is just a new manga.

With this brand-new comic, we will face the classics of the old manga authors of the new Iwazuki Publishing House... I actually won the battle... It's terrifying.

This is equivalent to everyone expecting Tsukasa Higashino to run 100 points at the start, and Tsukasa Higashino ran a score of 150 points.

This is an exaggeration.

The only one who didn't show any surprised expression may be Hosokawa Koharu, who has been observing the form next to him.

She had noticed before that Tsukasa Higashino's "Naoki Hanzawa" was not only popular with teenagers, but also by some working-class people in their thirties and forties.

It is this extra working-class reader that allows "Naoki Hanzawa" to accomplish in a short period of time what even "Unnatural Death" could not do.

"Workplace comics..."

Hosokawa Koharu muttered, and the words that Higashino Tsukasa had smiled at her before came to mind: "The new manga is a workplace manga theme. ”

At that time, Hosokawa Koharu still vaguely felt that Higashino Tsukasa was going off the rails with his sword.

But now...

"Could it be that this scene was all expected by Higashino-sensei?"

Hosokawa muttered quietly, and quickly shook his head.

Although Higashino Tsukasa is very confident in himself, how can he know that what he draws must be liked by the public? Could it be that he is really a person who came from the future, and took the future works to the present and painted them?

It's unlikely.

Regardless of whether Higashino Tsukasa expected it or not, now that the overall situation is very good, he should take advantage of the victory to pursue it.

Thinking of this, Hosokawa Koharu took the initiative to come to the side of the editor-in-chief Urashima and the deputy editor-in-chief Furuta.

She whispered: "Editor-in-Chief Urashima and Deputy Editor-in-Chief Furuta, can you leave the form you mentioned earlier to count the reader's support rate?" ”

"Oh... You're talking about that form. ”

Urashima nodded without thinking about it: "Yes, editor Hosokawa, you can do it." ”

The form they are talking about is actually about the support rate of the protagonists of the two manga magazines, "Kazuyo" and "Chiyo".

It is supported by 1,000 readers who choose the main characters between the two magazines "Wayo" and "Chiyo"... It can be regarded as a joint activity of "Wayo" and "Chiyo".

However, this joint activity was also initiated by the new Iwazuki Publishing House on the side of Chiyo.

They were very confident in the manga of their own magazine, and felt that "Kazuyo" could not compete at all, so they came up with the idea that their two major publishing houses would jointly publish the statistical form to readers - mainly because Shiniwazuki Publishing House wanted to use charts to visually show that "Kazuyo" was not as good as "Chiyo".

If he refused, it would seem that he was cowardly, so the editor-in-chief of Urashima hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.

Merely... It is estimated that the new Iwatsuki Publishing House, which took the initiative to make this request, did not expect that it would actually kill Cheng Biting Gold like Higashino Division halfway.

This was originally intended to suppress the form statistics of "Heshi", and it has also become a good thing to slap them in the face.

Hosokawa Koharu discussed with Urashima Editor-in-Chief in a low voice for a while, and then turned around and went to the department on the statistics side.

Looking at the figure of Hosokawa Koharu leaving.

Some of the editors of the old Fuji Press asked curiously, "Who is this female editor who can talk to the editor-in-chief?" "They've been merging for less than a week, and they haven't remembered each other's colleagues by name.

"She's Hosokawa Koharu, the editor in charge of Higashino-sensei."

An editor immediately replied.

"Higashino-sensei's editor...? Isn't that too happy? This time, as long as "Naoki Hanzawa" can be maintained... I feel like she needs to be treated a lot. ”

The editor of Fuji Press, who asked the question just now, was a little envious.

They don't know anything about it at all, and if they know that Hosokawa Koharu gave up the position of editor-in-chief of "Bad Cold" in order to be in charge of Tsukasa Higashino's work, they probably won't understand it.

After all, the work belongs to the author's property, and the editor does not receive much commission for it.

Giving up a promotion for the sake of the author's work is something that only fools do.

Hosokawa Koharu naturally didn't know what they were thinking, she just kept her head down and did the work she was supposed to do.

Hosokawa Koharu is working here, and on the other side, Higashino Tsukasa is being criticized by Higashino Chihaya.

Yes.

As soon as Higashino Chihaya came back, he slapped the complaints that had been holding back tens of thousands of words on Higashino's face.

And one of the most unacceptable things for her is-

"Ace, you actually lied to your sister! The president of the Asano branch is obviously a bad person! ”

My brother actually lied to his sister for his girlfriend, and he was stupid... This is what makes her most angry.

When Higashino heard this, he just laughed twice and didn't say much.

Looking at his expression that didn't mean to refute at all, Higashino Chihaya said angrily: "Aren't you going to say something?" Don't even argue? As. ”

As soon as she said this, Higashino Tsukasa just continued to laugh happily, and at the same time couldn't help but feel a little slanderous.

As the saying goes, don't reason with an angry girl because what you're saying is wrong.

Only wait until she is a little deflated before she speaks comforting... That's the best way to go.

Sure enough, even Higashino Tsukasa didn't say anything.

Higashino Chihaya also snorted angrily: "Even if you say something, I won't be fooled again." The same trick may work the first time, but the second, the third time ... That's to completely treat my sister as a fool. ”

She sat down again.

......

Silent.

Look at each other.

I waited almost five minutes.

Higashino Chihaya said with a pretty face, pretending not to care, "I'm going to cook." ”

The implication of this is very clear, it is probably 'Sort me out, sort me out.' ’

It seems that Higashino Chihaya's anger comes and goes faster.

In this regard, Higashino Tsukasa also spoke without hesitation: "Sister Chihaya, can you make me a copy too." ”

"Can't!"

Higashino Chihaya collapsed his face, stood up and said with a snort: "Assi deceived my sister, and I have no food today." ”

As for her words, Higashino Tsukasa still kept his mouth shut and didn't give any feedback.

Higashino Chihaya didn't continue to speak, just stood up and walked to the stove and started cooking.

About half an hour later—

Syllable!

Chihaya Higashino put Tsukasa Higashino's dinner plate in front of him, and said angrily, "Here you go!" ”

She was still sulking: "Didn't I say I won't cook for you if I don't cook for you?" Ace, you're usually so smart, why didn't you ask more questions just now? ”

Regarding Higashino Chihaya's words, Higashino only coughed dryly twice.

If Higashino Chihaya had opened his mouth just now when he was still sulking, let alone the dinner plate, he probably wouldn't even be able to see his own rice bowl.

Chihaya Higashino is such a little girl.

You leave her alone for a while, and she won't be angry.

But if you force an explanation... That would probably be torn to pieces by the angry Higashino Chihaya.

As expected, Chihaya Higashino really didn't lose his temper much.

It's just that after she sat down, she kept staring at Tsukasa Higashino.

Seeing that Tsukasa Higashino finally ate the food she made into his mouth, he casually asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

"Of course the things made by Sister Chihaya are delicious." Higashino replied with a smile.

"Really?" Higashino Chihaya subconsciously raised her eyebrows, and her big peach blossom eyes shone brightly.

But soon, she found that she was still having trouble with Higashino Division, and her expression fell again, and she was a little aggrieved: "It's delicious, and you still lied to your sister." ”

In fact, by this time, Higashino Chihaya's anger had almost disappeared.

She didn't speak as eloquently as she had just now, and her tone softened a lot.

And at this time, seeing that the time was ripe, Higashino Tsukasa drank the flavor of the soup, and finally spoke: "I didn't lie to you, Sister Chihaya, the head of the Asano branch will really not be a bad person in the later plot." ”

"Really?" Higashino Chihaya's big eyes shone brightly, and he regained his interest: "Then Ash, you talk to your sister..."

Of course, Higashino Tsukasa would not refuse this request, and he smiled and began to explain the plot to the other party.

I have to say that language is indeed a good art, and Tsukasa Higashino just went around in circles to explain how President Asano values his family...

Chiba Higashino fully accepted it.

Yes, I didn't doubt it at all.

There are still some faces full of expectations, and I think the next plot of "Naoki Hanzawa" will definitely be very interesting.

This made Higashino Tsukasa feel a little guilty of a slight ache in conscience, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that the same trick is not only easy to use for the first time, but also for the second and third times...

Higashino couldn't help but shake his head.

But he wasn't wrong.

President Asano really cares about his family very much, which is also reflected in the Japanese drama "Naoki Hanzawa", which can be regarded as a small whitewash given by "Naoki Hanzawa" to this man who also lowered the ending.

But more than this, what Higashino is more concerned about is the number of readers' positive votes tomorrow.

His "Naoki Hanzawa" did set off a wave of praise, and if nothing else, the first place in the reader's praise vote should be stable.

But even if it's the first place, there's a difference.

For example, during the serialization of "Midnight Bell", although it ranked first for a long time, its votes basically remained between 690 and 725 votes.

In the later period of "Unnatural Death", the number of positive votes remained between 790 and 810 votes.

There must be a gap in this.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the work "Unnatural Death" is more popular with readers.

And "Naoki Hanzawa"...

Since it's the first episode, Tsukasa Higashino has a high sense of expectation for it.

After all, the first episode of the comic series basically has a high number of readers' praise votes, because there are full fifty or sixty pages to expand.

For "Naoki Hanzawa", Tsukasa Higashino asked for more than 810 votes.

That is, more than 81% of the praise rate.

As long as it can exceed 810 votes, then Higashino Tsukasa feels that it is a success, and he has not insulted this phenomenal Japanese drama.

And if it's under 810 votes... Then Higashino will have to think carefully about his future paintings.

"Now it's time to see the results."

This knife, which has been sharpened for a long time, can it achieve its desired effect, and by the way, cut off the dog's head of the new Iwatsuki Publishing House... It depends on the number of positive votes from tomorrow's readers.

At the same time, Shiniwazuki Publishing House.

When they saw the sales volume of the latest period, all the editors of Shiniwazuki Publishing House were confused.

The sales of "Kazuyo" have increased again!

And in comparison, his own side is still stagnant.

Although it seems that they still have a partial advantage, this advantage is useless at all with the increasing speed of the opponent.

All the editors looked at the form as if they had gone back to the days when Unnatural Death was dominant.

The only difference is that "Unnatural Death" has been replaced with...

"Naoki Hanzawa."

I don't know who muttered, and the expressions of the editors below are a little unacceptable.

After they merged, their combat effectiveness exploded all of a sudden, so their self-confidence also came to the peak, and they felt that they could handle it in the comic magazine.

But when the actual results came out, they felt a little suffocated.

Wrong... Something really isn't right.

"Impossible... How is it possible to reach this popularity in the first episode of a manga? At least you have to have a couple of words to foreshadow, right? ”

"Did Toshima Press spend money to buy the heat? It makes sense when you think about it. ”

"Not necessarily... I've seen "Naoki Hanzawa", and the quality of this work is really terrifying... You're going to say it paid for some heat... Possibly, too. ”

The editors below discussed it softly, and most of the editors felt that it should be the Toshima Publishing House that spent money to buy the heat, which was really despicable and a villain.

As for whether "Naoki Hanzawa" has bought popularity...

They can't say anything.

However, they have a professional ethics as a giant publishing house.

I won't do this kind of dirty thing to buy heat!

To win, you have to win above board!

It just so happens that tomorrow will be the vote for readers' praise and the approval rating of the most popular protagonist.

At that time, the two publishers will announce the specific results.

If it's a mule or a horse, you can pull it out and see it directly.

Can you still veto all the classic comics on my side with a "Hanzawa Naoki"?

This doesn't work, right?

It's impossible to think about it!
