Chapter 160. Strange, It's Weird (4000 words)
"Hosokawa editor! The results of the readers' positive votes for "Winner is Justice" are out. ”
The female clerk in charge of printing the cashier's form called Hosokawa Koharu and handed over a printed form.
Hearing this, Hosokawa Koharu immediately dropped the work at hand and thanked him: "Okay, I'm sorry for you." Then he hurriedly reached out and took it, and looked at it carefully.
The first thing that catches your eye is a very familiar word.
"The Winner is Justice" is the first praise from readers...
It's not much to look at.
Since Koharu Hosokawa took over "Winner is Justice", this manga has been the first in the reader's praise rate of "Bad Cold", and the order has hardly changed.
The most important thing is the back -
Hosokawa Koharu's gaze swept to the string of words behind "Winner is Justice".
And then...
"It's really going up." Hosokawa Koharu rubbed his eyes, looked at the bright 678 votes behind "Winner is Justice", and muttered to himself.
Compared with the previous 671 votes, it has increased by a full 7 votes.
Maybe many people think that just 7 votes doesn't mean anything at all, but you must know that in the already stable order, if you want to increase the number of votes, even three or four votes are rare.
"Winner is Justice" is a small increase this time, but this small increase has made Hosokawa Koharu excited.
She immediately called Tsukasa Higashino and excitedly exclaimed, "Higashino-sensei! The number of readers' positive votes for "Winner is Justice" has increased by 7 votes from last week! ”
"Really?" Tsukasa Higashino, who received the call, raised his eyebrows, but it was rare that he did not continue to answer.
Is the unit drama mode of "Winner is Justice" too fixed? Even if Tsukasa Higashino revealed the main plot, it would rise by 7 votes.
Could it be that the plot lacks that kind of particularly exciting explosion? Then we have to think of a way to get the reader excited.
Higashino Tsukasa was thinking here, and Hosokawa Koharu over there was happy for a while, and when he heard that Higashino Tsukasa had not spoken here, he asked a little strangely, "Higashino-sensei, are you not happy?" ”
You must know that the number of votes for "Winner is Justice" has always been fixed before, and this sudden turn for the better is a great joy, shouldn't you be happy?
At least Hosokawa Koharu thinks this should be happy.
"No, I'm actually quite happy." Hearing Hosokawa Koharu ask such a question, Higashino Tsukasa reacted and replied with a smile.
Although he really couldn't get excited when he heard this achievement, he still had to take care of Hosokawa Koharu's emotions.
You can't always report good news here, but you report worries over there, right?
Tsukasa Higashino's EQ is not so low.
But Hosokawa Koharu over there was obviously aware of what Higashino was thinking, she groaned, and then asked, "Although I think the current momentum is quite good... Mr. Higashino, do you have any other way? ”
She still agrees with Tsukasa Higashino's enterprising spirit of active creation.
"The next plot is quite about to enter the climax stage... No, I want this manga to start from now on, all the way to the climax to the end. ”
Tsukasa Higashino replied thoughtfully.
"The Winner is Justice" has reached the tenth episode now, and it can be regarded as just entering the theme.
But if there are 10 votes and 7 votes every time, then Higashino Tsukasa can't accept it.
From now on, he will focus more on the creation of "The Winner is Justice", and draw it with the momentum that every word is the last word, all the way to the climax to the end.
It's just that this will definitely increase the workload.
Hosokawa Koharu understood his voice, hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I understand, Higashino-sensei, but be sure to pay attention to your body." ”
She was a little worried about Higashino's body, but she still respected the other party's choice.
"I see." Tsukasa Higashino responded with a smile.
It's not that he wants to fight, but it's 2003.
It is a Japanese manga script cold winter.
There are very few good manga in the market, and Tsukasa Higashino must take advantage of this period to cut a big piece of the cake from the market.
Just like the Celestial Empire in later generations, when he saw the flow of waste wood and retired marriage, he thought of "Breaking the Sky", and when Tsukasa Higashino also wanted others to see the professional comics of the lawyer type, he thought of his "Winner is Justice".
As for "Midnight Bell", there is no such thing as one of the hottest horror manga in Japan.
He made up his mind here, and began to seriously prepare for the painting of "Winner is Justice" again.
In Tsukasa Higashino's opinion, there is no problem with the plot of the manga "Winner is Justice".
What's missing now is a simple detail improvement.
Including lines, characters, mannerisms... Tsukasa Higashino began to pay attention to these things, and used twelve points of strength to carefully carve them.
In this way, in the next few weeks, "Winner is Justice" attracted many young people who paid attention to "Bad Cold".
Another conversation between Kensuke Komito and Tomoko Daisama.
"Money and power are inseparable, and those who have money have power." Kensuke Komimen stretched his waist soothingly, and asked Dai Zhenzhizi again: "Do you know why?" ”
Kensuke Komimon, who was restored by Tsukasa Higashino with fine brushwork and extreme realism, is like a living person, standing in front of the reader.
In this regard, Dai Zhen Zhizi was speechless and couldn't say a word.
But soon, Komeimen Kensuke gave the answer: "Because people will squeeze where there is money." In this country, rich people are treated as bad people. ”
As a result, the flattering politicians flaunted the honest politics to this kind of foolish people, and the foolish people supported this kind of politics, and as a result, the number of incompetent and ignorant politicians increased, and the people began to sigh again that the Japanese politicians were no longer good. But in reality? Don't these people who claim to be honest politicians make money? You know, an average prefectural councillor earns enough to go to the Ginza club every day to eat, drink, and be merry. ”
Kensuke Komito crossed his hands and sat on the sofa.
His every move, the Japanese society he saw, seemed to come to life under the pen of Tsukasa Higashino.
In a spicy tone, he sarcastically showed the bloody reality of Japanese society to Tomoko Dai, and then patted her on the head and told her with a smile, 'You can still dream of justice, but that's the reality.'"
That's what Kensuke Komemon did.
And under the portrayal of Tsukasa Higashino, the already spicy and sensitive topic is even more intense!
Because for most people, these things are actually known to them, but they have never faced them... To be precise, it is a reluctance to face it directly.
The methods of politicians are dirty, otherwise why would everyone be willing to climb up? Do you really think that the modest salary of the councillors can provide them with food, drink and merry entertainment at the Ginza club every day? Do you really think politicians do charity?
Tsukasa Higashino just took out all these social phenomena and put them in front of many people.
To be honest, Hosokawa Koharu was still worried about whether it would cause social problems when he posted this... After all, the topic of this is still relatively sensitive.
But unexpectedly, what she was worried about did not happen, but "The Winner is Justice" once again increased its popularity.
And as the social spread of the topic is getting wider and wider, some well-intentioned social critics have also noticed this cartoon - this group of people belongs to the kind of people who have nothing to do, scold the unlucky prime minister of Japan, criticize social phenomena, and then lie down and take money, and then spray the unlucky prime minister.
Seeing that "The Winner is Justice" has gained social popularity.
Of course, they also have to rub it off, and pick a few unlucky parliamentarians to spray: "I also watch "The Winner is Justice", and the kind of good-for-nothing politicians mentioned in the comics do exist in reality, even XXX and XXX, oh, and the unlucky prime minister is also like this." ”
This is not a joke, the group of social commentators in Japan will scold politicians as long as they have the slightest trivial matter, especially the Japanese prime minister, who has been the target of fire in recent years - anyway, as long as the person who scolds is high enough, readers will buy it.
Originally, the topic of "Winner is Justice" stopped at the circle of comics, animation, and TV series that like to watch.
But as soon as this group of social commentators came out on the spot, it was completely different.
And the people down there who don't understand anything... Including those who didn't know the comic "Winner is Justice", they were all surprised.
Was Japan led by such a group of people?
Is our country's internal system corrupt?
You must know that Japan is a country that pays taxes on consumption, and many people believe that listening to the wind is rain.
The topic of "Winner is Justice" is also on the public trust list again...
The eleventh episode of "Winner is Justice" has 695 votes!
Twelve words 700 votes!
Thirteen words 713 votes!
Looking at this data, to be honest, Hosokawa Koharu is a little confused.
The initial increase was quite predictable, although it was pleasantly surprised, but it didn't fluctuate much, but in the back, she couldn't understand the increase at all...
She thought of what Higashino had said three weeks ago-
Do your best and keep challenging the climax.
This is the answer sheet handed over by Tsukasa Higashino...?
Even if it is a unit drama genre, he can also draw unit dramas interestingly.
And at the same time.
"This time "Winner is Justice" is really good! I wasn't interested in it before, so you can check it out. A male Musashi American college student whispered a recommendation to the male college student next to him.
"Huh...? Are you sure? I remember you've been a fan of Higashino-sensei before, right? The "Bad Cold" at home and Mr. Higashino's single book are almost half as tall as me. Didn't you lie to me? ”
"That's not the point, the point is that this "Winner is Justice" is really good."
"Alright then, I'll buy a copy of 'The Chill' later... Speaking of Dazhijun? ”
"I said I was going to buy beer and fried chicken, and I went to his house to celebrate tonight."
"Hey, are you serious? I also saw Da Zhijun go to the other side of University Street before. ”
"Damn, isn't this bastard going to a college party without telling us both?"
The sound of small discussions came, so that Nagawa Chimi couldn't help but breathe, she turned to look at the "Bad Cold" at hand, and looked at the "Winner is Justice" that stood on the front page, she gritted her teeth again, and continued to flip unwillingly.
Although I don't want to admit it... But it's pretty... It's really beautiful.
If the previous manga has the credit of the plot of "Midnight Bell", then this "Winner is Justice" is completely supported by the drawing skills of Tsukasa Higashino.
Without his powerful sense of substitution, it makes people feel like they are experiencing what is happening in the comics... Chimi Nagawa estimates that "Winner is Justice" should fall a little lower.
This is the bad thing about unit drama comics.
"But it's useless to talk about this..."Chimi Nagawa flipped to the end and sighed contentedly.
She put down "Bad Cold", after all, she is not a person who particularly likes to read comics, and buying "Bad Cold" is just to take a look at Tsukasa Higashino's "Winner is Justice", as for other comics... She didn't even want to look at it.
After Chimi Nagawa put down the manga, she turned to look at the other side wearing glasses Kuromiya Akisa.
At this time, Kuronomiya Akisa had already completed the final work required by Musashi American University, and she was constantly imitating the drawing method of Tsukasa Higashino's "Midnight Bell" on the original manga manuscript paper with her head down.
She draws very carefully, and the tip of the G pen dipped in water rises and falls on the brush, dipping in ink, and the frequency of the pen is also very fast.
Under the pen of Kuronomiya Akisa, a Sadako who is about to climb off the TV screen is quickly formed.
The eerie and terrifying appearance made Chimi Nagawa next to her can't help but feel chills.
But Kuronomiya Akisa was obviously not satisfied, she didn't speak, she just put this Sadako on the other side, and began to paint the next one-
"Mingsha, you can take a break. And it's too late, it's time for us to go home. ”
Chimi Nagawa pulled the bench next to Kuronomiya Akira and opened her mouth to persuade her.
Originally, she didn't have any expectations, after all, Kuronomiya Mingsa's temper is more stubborn than that of a cow, as long as the other party is not satisfied, the other party will keep dragging it down, and she doesn't want to rest at all.
But she never expected that Kuronomiya Mingsha actually nodded: "... Well, then take a break and go home. ”
This made Nagawa Chimi's eyes widen, and she didn't seem to expect her friend to say such a surprising thing at all.
She was stunned in place for a long time and didn't move, until Kuronomiya Mingsa had packed up all the painting tools, she barely came back to her senses, and looked at Kuronomiya Mingsa not quite right: "Mingsha, what's wrong with you?" ”
Could it be that the recent blow by Higashino Tsukasa is too hard, and his mind is a little deranged, right?
"No, I'm tired too." Kuronomiya Misa gently pushed her glasses, and her flat chest did not rise or fall.
Listening to this completely inconsistent with her friend's answer, Chimi Nagawa silently took out her mobile phone, feeling that it was time to mobilize her connections, first subdue Kuronomiya Mingsa, and then send her to a psychiatrist or psychiatrist to have a look.
Because today's Kuronomiya Ming Yarn smells of something wrong.
Odd.
It's just weird.
I remember that I had a phone call with Tsukasa Higashino before, and then I came back and it became like this.
Could it be that Tsukasa Higashino did something to her?
