"The Three Principles of Comic Creation?"

"Don't joke about the victims of war or disaster!"

"Can't show contempt for certain professions!"

"You can't joke with the nation, the people, or the public!"

If you talk about the first few questions, Kazuzu Akasaka also looked at it with a joking expression.

So the three principles of manga creation that suddenly popped up made Kazuya Akasaka can't help but sit up straight, and his expression is a little more serious.

I thought it was an ordinary interview, but he didn't expect that Tsukasa Higashino would make such a statement...

After all, the principles of comic creation are inherently controversial topics...

Even though Tsukasa Higashino is the leader of today's manga, the three principles he proposes are not necessarily convincing.

It's like wearing a mask in later generations, which others think violates the right to freedom.

There will always be people who will hold the banner of 'free creation' and express their opinions on Higashino's remarks.

But... Kazuya Akasaka repeatedly savored these three principles of manga creation, and after a long while, he couldn't help but say, "It's really good." ”

Generally speaking, when it comes to comic creation, most comic authors think about nothing more than how to draw, how to draw comics, what kind of dipping pen to use... Such a topic.

But Tsukasa Higashino is different.

Let's say there's a good saying...

'You have to learn to be a human being before you can learn to do things'.

This is the case with the three principles proposed by Tsukasa Higashino.

Before teaching the basics of how to draw, plot, dipping pen, and how to use grid paper.

Tsukasa Higashino first told others what to do before creating a work, and what factors you have to take into account... Finally, I will learn the basics of drawing comics.

If you don't even know how to do it, you can just draw comics... I don't know what kind of anti-human stuff I'll draw at that time.

"It's a difference in the realm of simplicity."

Kazuya Akasaka sighed slightly.

While other manga authors were still thinking about how to get their works serialized in manga magazines, Tsukasa Higashino had already put forward his own ideas based on the manga work itself.

This is truly remarkable.

Presumably Higashino Tsukasa has also summed up and thought about it for a long time, right? These three paragraphs don't seem like the kind of words that can be made up by 'random hard writing'.

But... That is, Higashino Tsukasa doesn't know what Kazuya Akasaka thinks now, and if he knew, he probably just smiled in the end and didn't say much.

After all, these three principles were not put forward by him, but were summed up by Osamu Tezuka, the god of comics who laid the foundation of Japanese comics, and of course there could be no random hard editing.

Merely...

"That's just my opinion at most..."Kazuya Akasaka pinched his chin as he glanced at the three principles of manga creation.

His views are not representative of the readership as a whole.

So, thinking about it, Kazuya Akasaka picked up his pen and began to write a column about "Naoki Hanzawa".

At the same time, he didn't forget to set aside a part at the bottom...

"In this interview, Mr. Higashino put forward three principles of comic creation, and in my opinion, these three principles are not only applicable to comic creation, but must be respected regardless of whether it is serious literature or traditional literature..."

He bowed his head and wrote.

In addition to Kazuya Akasaka, there are also many manga authors who saw this week's interview with Tsukasa Higashino in "Kazuyo".

Like Kazuya Akasaka, I also saw the three creative principles of the manga neatly listed at the bottom of the manga.

Most of the manga writers who saw Tsukasa Higashino's statement agreed with it.

They feel that although comics are artistic creations, they should not forget the most basic respect and politeness because of the exaggeration of the plot.

This is the most basic principle of life.

Some people are in favor, and naturally there are people who are against.

The author of the opposing comic feels that Tsukasa Higashino is too far away, and the manga is just an entertainment product, if you care about this and that, you lose the most basic entertainment, but you won't make people pay.

Among them, as the current pillar of the new Iwatsuki Publishing House, the author Horikoshi Hanpei thinks so.

He felt that comic book writers had to play at will, not limited by their imagination, and maximize their entertainment.

Anyway, as long as the work can be sold, as long as he has money to make, it doesn't matter whether he respects others or not.

As mentioned earlier, Horikoshi Hanpei's current work "Research and Search Team" is like this, there are obvious traces of imitation of "Unnatural Death", and even recently some fans of Tsukasa Higashino dug up that some of his storyboards were drawn directly according to the storyboards of "Unnatural Death".

This annoyed Horikoshi Hanpei.

He has been in the industry as a comic writer for ten years and has been learning the art of drawing comics.

But helplessly, due to the gap in basic skills and plot, he has been hovering up and down the subsistence line of the serial author.

finally caught a glimpse of the fire of "Unnatural Death", and followed the trend to create this "Research and Search Team".

As a result, it was also dug up by Tsukasa Higashino's fans for an act similar to plagiarism.

How does this not make him feel angry and annoyed?

After all, Horikoshi Hanpei has always only thought that manga is just an entertainment thing, and there is no need to be serious.

Even if he did copy it, so what? Anyway, as long as the reader is happy to read it and is willing to buy it.

But in the end, under pressure from both the editor-in-chief of Seo and the fans of Tsukasa Higashino, Horikoshi Hanpei had to revise the controversial part of the manga storyboard in the single book.

This kind of repetitive homework makes Horikoshi Hanpei of course very unpleasant, and because the results of "Hanzawa Naoki" are much better than his "Research and Search Team", it can be said that it is an all-round hanging.

So his dissatisfaction with Tsukasa Higashino himself is also swelling day by day.

But since he couldn't find a point to vent, Horikoshi Hanpei scolded Higashino Tsukasa a little in his heart, and then continued to create "Research and Search Team".

This time, Tsukasa Higashino suddenly made such a controversial topic.

Of course, Horikoshi Hanpei was worried about it all at once.

He felt that this was a good opportunity to vent his past dissatisfaction with Tsukasa Higashino, as well as the old and new hatreds of Tsukasa Higashino's fans...

So Horikoshi Hanpei immediately made a statement on social networks, laughing at the three principles of Higashino Tsukasa, and also left a message below:

"I originally thought that I would not be able to surpass "Hanzawa Naoki", but today I saw Higashino-sensei's rather childish remarks, and I think there is no problem for "Research and Search Team" to surpass Higashino-sensei. After all, the most basic premise of artistic creation is freedom of creation. ”

"If you can't even think freely, then what you draw will definitely be boring."

Send this message, Horikoshi Hanpei waited with interest for the replies of other manga authors who agreed with him, and liked them.

But he waited for a full hour, and the only people who actually replied to him were one or two comic book authors.

"How is this possible? Didn't there be so many people who thought Higashino's remarks were stupid when we exchanged yesterday? Why are there only so many people who actually reply? ”

Horikoshi was stunned for a while, and then he thought of something...

Probably the comic book writers who said bad things about Tsukasa Higashino behind their backs didn't want to offend Tsukasa Higashino because of this kind of thing, so they kept silent and didn't speak out.

That is, Horikoshi Hanpei has accumulated dissatisfaction with Tsukasa Higashino for a long time and has been carried away by his brain, so he didn't think of this.

But now that the words have been spoken, Horikoshi Hanpei can't take it back.

He could only continue to make articles that sneered at Tsukasa Higashino while scolding those bastards in his heart for being completely unrighteous.

Obviously, yesterday everyone scolded Higashino Tsukasa so happily! Why are you all deaf and dumb today?

It's just that no matter how much he scolds in his heart, in fact, there are still few authors who reply, and instead some readers rushed to hear the news.

Some of them are fans of Horikoshi Hanpei, and some are fans of Tsukasa Higashino.

After all, Horikoshi Hanpei's "Research and Search Team" is indeed quite similar to "Unnatural Death", and it is normal to attract fans of Tsukasa Higashino.

But when they saw Horikoshi Hanpei, he actually fired directly at Tsukasa Higashino on social media...

Some hot-tempered Tsukasa Higashino fans can't bear it.

They immediately left a message under Horikoshi Hanpei's remarks, and all kinds of vicious and damaging words came out in unison.

Mainly mocked him for following the trend of "Unnatural Death", which was not as good as Tsukasa Higashino's "Naoki Hanzawa", so he made such a lemony comment.

I have to say that whether it is a netizen in Japan or the Celestial Empire, the power is infinite.

All kinds of yin and yang weird words were aimed at Horikoshi's head and began to bombard, making him feel his scalp tingle.

Although there are also some fans of Horikoshi Hanpei who help to speak, the power of these fans is undoubtedly thin.

It's just that as soon as they spoke, they were humiliated by a steady stream of Higashino Tsukasa fans who came from all over the world, and they couldn't grasp the keyboard steadily.

That's the power of Tsukasa Higashino's fans.

It is widely distributed, gathers quickly, and its combat effectiveness is particularly strong.

Some people are office workers who usually carry computers in their hands, and some people are old fritters who read comics, so they don't lack time at all.

Horikoshi Hanpei's remarks were only published for an hour and a half, and the floors below had already reached more than 5,000 floors, and all kinds of yin and yang strange words made Horikoshi Banpei almost so angry that he didn't vomit blood.

He posted two more thoughts about his thoughts on the three principles of Higashino Tsukasa's comics, and then closed the comment area, and it was out of sight.

Merely... Horikoshi Hanpei really became more and more angry the more he thought about it.

He just wanted to disgust Tsukasa Higashino.

As a result, I didn't expect Tsukasa Higashino to be disgusting, but was so disgusted by his group of fans that he couldn't even eat.

"No, you can't just leave it at that."

Horikoshi Hanpei glanced at the "Kazuyo" manga magazine next to him, and then at the original manuscript of "Research and Search Team" that he hadn't drawn yet, and after thinking for a long time, he came up with a solution.

Didn't Tsukasa Higashino say it?

Can't you joke about disasters or victims?

In that case, I have to use some recent famous cases as creative materials and slap that guy in the face with facts!

Horikoshi Hanhei muttered softly to himself, thinking that this method would work.

After all, instead of being incompetent and furious on social networks, he directly used facts to prove that the three principles that Higashino said were wrong... Isn't this a slap in the face?

And it's the kind that swells hard.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, so he began to think about a case that had become a little famous recently.

After thinking about it, he decided to start with a recent murder case that was more brutal.

The name of the case is 'The Case of a High School Girl Buried in Water'.

It is about the case of four young people who dropped out of high school, kidnapped an 18-year-old high school girl for 41 days, abused her, and finally sealed her body in a cement pipe.

This case happened in February of this year, and it really shocked the whole of Japan at the time.

After all, the case was very serious, and the fact that the people involved were minors at the time, and the length of the crime (the police did not catch four juvenile offenders in 41 days), so it was a great blow to Japanese society.

For this reason, there is even information that the Juvenile Code will be amended specifically this year.

This case is really good, topical enough, and it only needs a little adaptation to be directly used as a plot.

Horikoshi Hanpei nodded with satisfaction and began to draw the story.

Perhaps thinking of slapping Higashino in the face with facts, he drew this story very easily, and after only five days, he had already completed all the original manuscripts for the week.

"Excellent! Then there will be absolutely no problem. ”

Horikoshi glanced at his manuscript.

The name of the victim must have been changed by him, and no matter how stupid he was, he could not really use the name of the victim.

It's just that the plot of being abused, dying, and throwing corpses has basically not changed.

After his paintings, the whole story is quite plausible and wonderful.

This made Horikoshi Hanpei very happy.

It just so happens that he has a single book sales plan for "Research and Search Team" this week, and the plot of the whole comic is progressing very smoothly... Horikoshi Hanpei just wants to say a smooth ride.

Really.

It would be correct to ignore Tsukasa Higashino's three principles of creation.

He didn't care about the three principles mentioned by Higashino at all, and now he didn't have anything at all?

Watching his manga be serialized smoothly on "Chiyo", Horikoshi Hanhei comfortably waited for this week's single book sales date to come out.

But...

Before Horikoshi Hanpei could wait for the sale date of his own one-book to come out, he received a piece of news from the editorial office of Chiyo that left him stunned and unbelievable.

"My "Investigation Search Team" serialized was complained? If it's serious, it's possible to get banned? Wait a minute... Editor-in-chief Seo, then my one-liner sales this week..."

"Postponement? Good... I understand. Postponement, right? ”

Horikoshi Hanpei repeatedly confirmed on the phone, and then...

He gritted his teeth and hung up the phone, sitting on the sofa as if he had lost his strength.

Blame others for this situation.

It can only be said that he himself is indeed very problematic, and the problem is very big.

I knew that there was dog shit on the road ahead, but I stepped on it without hesitation - I was looking for my own death.

But... There are always people who don't know how to write the word respect... Horikoshi Hanpei was never the first.
