People are in Tokyo, there is a wishing machine

Chapter 242 Exposure Plan
Half a year has passed, and Tokyo and even Japan as a whole have not changed much.

With the steady output of gasoline from new oilfields, people's lives gradually returned to the level before the sky fell.

It has to be said that human beings are very adaptable. Walking on the streets of Tokyo, Hirozawa Higashino felt deeply that they had fully adapted to the existence of the sky.

Even though many new rules have been imposed on Japan under the rule of the tent, they will basically not notice it just by walking on the streets.

Compared with before the sky fell, the biggest difference is that there are many more believers of Our Lady of Truth on the street.

The house of the Asakusa family was destroyed in the last battle with Ikuko Amano, and there are still followers of the Church of Our Lady of Truth guarding it.

Higashino Hirosawa walked over to take a look, but didn't pay much attention.

The guarding believers failed to discover the existence of Higashino Hirosawa.

Higashino Hirosawa is more concerned about his serialized comics.

Before leaving, Hirosawa Higashino had already drawn about two years of serial paintings, and set up regular sending in his mailbox.

The number of serialized episodes is not a problem, but since he is the author of the Dragon Ball manga, at least a little research will tell.

Leaf Co., Ltd. Hirosawa Higashino took care of it before leaving, but he can't do much about manga.

Not only Dragon Ball, but even the comics of Slam Dunk, Kindaichi, Baseball Hero, and Hunter x Hunter, as long as Ikuko Amano carefully researches them, it is not difficult to find out that he drew them.

But maybe Ikuko Amano disdains these manga directed at Hirozawa Higashino, or it may be that she is too young to know how to fight the enemy to death, or it may be that she knows that targeting these manga will not cause any substantial harm to Hirozawa Higashino .

In short, not to mention that Slam Dunk was not announced as the works of Higashino Hirosawa, even the serialization of Dragon Ball was not affected.

It's also fortunate that she didn't do anything, otherwise Hiroze Higashino was not in the crazy street, investigating information, but went to fight with Ikuko Amano.

If there was a war, Ikuko Amano would not survive today.

It can be said that Ikuko Amano temporarily saved her life by not doing anything to his serial manga.

Because the serialization of several comics during this period has always been two episodes a week, after half a year, the popularity of several comics has skyrocketed, and they have become the top popularity lists of their respective comic magazines.

Driven by these comics, the sales of these weekly comics have increased to varying degrees.

The hot-blooded youth weekly has risen the most.

The hot-blooded youth weekly has a good foundation, and at its peak, it had a weekly sales volume of 200 million.

After the Dragon Ball plot gradually entered the right track and reached its climax, the weekly magazine sales also skyrocketed.

From the initial sales volume of just over 50, it skyrocketed to 120 million within a year.

The editorial department of Hot-blooded Boys Weekly was naturally happy. On the other hand, Weekly Boys Jump, who rejected Dragon Ball at the beginning, no one said anything on the surface, but secretly, there were many people who complained.

Rejection of Dragon Ball is not a secret within Weekly Shonen Jump. The editorial department never thought of keeping it a secret. After all, it was because of the exclusive contract that it rejected a mere manga. The editorial department just wanted to let those authors know, and no one could exception.

So not only the inside of Weekly Shonen Jump, but even the entire industry knows about this.

And one year later, seeing the growing popularity of Dragon Ball, the sales volume of Hot-blooded Boys Weekly skyrocketed, while the sales volume of Weekly Boys Jump, even under the background of the government's strong support for entertainment, sales still declined.

It's not that Weekly Shonen Jump has done anything wrong, it's just that Hot Blooded Boys Weekly and Jump are similar competitors, and the sales of Hot Blooded Boys Weekly have skyrocketed, so Jump's sales will inevitably decline as a result.

While other weekly magazines have more or less seen an increase in sales, the sales of the industry leaders have actually declined. The reason is that they rejected the Dragon Ball manga. This suddenly made Weekly Shonen Jump the laughing stock of many people.

Weekly Shonen Jump didn’t do anything wrong. They insisted on the exclusive treaty. It can’t be said that they did wrong. The exclusive treaty has undoubtedly made the magazine stronger.

However, that is looking at the issue from the standpoint of the magazine.

From the author's point of view, this is a proper overlord's treaty. They dare not resist, and they have no ability to resist, but seeing that Weekly Shonen Jump has suffered a lot because of this, many people feel very happy.

The popularity of Dragon Ball can skyrocket. To some extent, there are some people who are secretly fueling the flames.

Apart from Hot-blooded Youth Weekly, Chaoyang Weekly had the second highest rise.

Half a year later, due to the popularity of baseball hero comics, the sales volume of Chaoyang Weekly has increased to over 60.

This is the result of Chaoyang Weekly's other serialized content being stretched a bit too much. Not to mention [-]% of the readers who buy Chaoyang Weekly, at least [-]% of them come for the baseball hero comics.

In the popularity survey of the weekly magazine, the popularity of each issue of Baseball Hero is far ahead.

Kazuo Watanabe, the president of Chaoyang Weekly, and Miyazawa Ping, the old editor, who triggered the joint S wish commission at the beginning, were both painful and happy.

Because of the baseball hero, the sales volume of Chaoyang Weekly has exceeded the highest sales volume in the history of the weekly magazine.

But even though they worked hard to screen the manuscripts, after more than half a year, the weekly magazine still failed to discover new serials with great potential.

Once the serialization of the baseball hero is over, Chaoyang Weekly will not say that it will suddenly return to its original state, but it will definitely suffer heavy losses.

If they hadn't signed a contract with Hirozawa Higashino for two episodes per week, they might have begun to consider limiting the number of serialized episodes to one episode per week.

Other editors hope that the authors of their popular serials will submit as many manuscripts as possible.

Only the editor of Chaoyang Weekly hoped that one day the manuscript received in the mailbox would be not two episodes, but one episode.

In this way, they can justifiably only serialize one episode per issue.

There must be complaints from the readers, but as long as a statement about the author's poor health is made, it is not difficult to deal with the readers.

But unfortunately, the two episodes of manuscripts that appeared in the mailbox on time every week made them entangled.

Under tremendous pressure, the editors of Chaoyang Weekly are trying to discover potential manuscripts, hoping to take over the baseball hero's stick after the baseball hero is over.

In addition to Hot-blooded Boys Weekly and Chaoyang Weekly, Weekly Shonen Magazine, which serializes Slam Dunk, Weekly Shonen Sunday, which serializes Hunter, and Youth Plus, which serializes Kindaichi, the weekly sales of these comic magazines have increased by about 30 to [-]. sales.

The combined sales volume of the five comic magazines is less than 800 million.

However, the readers of these five comics are far more than 800 million.

Classmates and friends borrowed books, rented books, and pirated online. Higashino Hirozawa couldn't tell how many readers these five most popular manga have.

However, he looked at related forums on the Internet, and quite a few hot topics of discussion were related to the five comics he serialized.

To be sure, the popularity is quite high.

After getting the general details, Higashino Hirosawa sent an email to the editors in charge of the five publishing houses, asking them to meet at a high-end izakaya owned by the Shenyuan family the day after tomorrow.

People in the Japanese workplace are all bound to their email addresses on their mobile phones, so they don't worry about not receiving emails.

What's more, Hiroze Higashino is the key caregiver of these editors, Hiroze Higashino's emails, they all set different special notification sounds by coincidence.

……

Hot-blooded youth weekly editorial department.

A group of editors are in a meeting.

It is the basic ethics of the workplace to mute the mobile phone during the meeting.

However, when President Murakami was speaking, the voice of a mobile phone rang suddenly, and the voice was very special.

"Aoki, pay attention to the influence, don't bring down the younger generation."

President Murakami looked over and saw Aoki Shiren busy picking up the phone, so he said aloud.

"Ah, no, this is Akira Toriyama-sensei's email notification sound, I made a special setting, sorry."

The green wood stone man said hastily.

A long time ago, in order not to miss Hirozawa Higashino's emails, he specially changed to a mobile phone with this function.

"Ms. Akira Toriyama sent you an email? Teacher, he sent a manuscript email, isn't it at this time?"

When Murakami heard this, he couldn't help being startled.

Hirosawa Higashino is very punctual in sending emails every week, even if Murakami is the president, he knows the specific time very well.

"Yes, I just received a new two-episode manuscript yesterday."

The stone man of Qingmu nodded.

"Ms. Akira Toriyama doesn't seem to send private emails, does she?"

"Could something be wrong?"

In the meeting room, the other editors couldn't help but speak out.

"Aoki, let's see what Teacher Akira Toriyama said."

When Murakami heard this, he couldn't help but speak.

Now that Hot-Blooded Boys' Weekly is booming, anyone can have an accident, but Higashino Hirosawa and Dragon Ball can't have any problems, otherwise it will be a big blow to Hot-blooded Boys' Weekly.

"it is good!"

Qingmu Shiren nodded, and quickly picked up the phone to open the email.

"This..." Aoki Ishito took a look, picked up the phone, and came to President Murakami.

President Murakami glanced at it, and was also taken aback. Then he waved his hand and said to the editors in the conference room: "Today's meeting will be here first, and we will talk about it later, all go out!"

All the other editors were curious about what the email said, which made the president stop the meeting halfway through, but they couldn't ask more questions because they were curious, so they had no choice but to go out.

"Teacher Akira Toriyama asked you to meet the day after tomorrow? Is this true or not?" President Murakami looked at the email, not quite convinced.

"It should be true. I have been to the Bamboo Pavilion Izakaya. It is a relatively high-end izakaya in Shinjuku. A liar will not ask us to meet there. I am afraid that it is a liar. We might as well call and ask Teacher Akira Toriyama directly."

Aoki Shiren said, at least the email address is not fake.

"No need, you email back and say you got it, I'll go there with you the day after tomorrow!"

President Murakami thought for a while and said.

It doesn't matter even if it's fake, if it's fake, you can get along with Mr. Tori Yamaaki in an open and honest manner.

Similar things happened not only in the editorial department of Hot Blooded Youth Weekly, but also in the editorial departments of four other magazines.

After the manga began to be serialized, they had no contact with Hirozawa Higashino except for receiving Hirozawa Higashino's drawings regularly and on time.

He is obviously the most popular author in the magazine, but such a strange thing happened.

In the past six months, it's not that no editor has called Hirosawa Higashino, but they couldn't get through at all.

Now that they suddenly received an email invitation from Hirozawa Higashino, they couldn't help wondering if they had encountered a liar.

However, like President Murakami, several editors in the editorial department responded to emails one after another, saying that they would meet on time.

The time Higashino Hirozawa made an appointment to meet is the day after tomorrow, which is 10 o'clock in the morning on Thursday.

The editor-in-charge of Higashino Hiroze in several editorial departments, even the president, rejected the matter that morning, and was going to meet Hiroze Higashino.

The situation of Hirosawa Higashino is really too special. It is impossible for an ordinary author to be so alarmed that even the president can't help but come together.

Thursday morning.

Outside Shinjuku Bamboo Pavilion Izakaya.

Several cars arrived almost at the same time.

Ishito Aoki and President Murakami just got out of the car, and they couldn't help but feel a little strange looking at the people getting off from the other cars.

"President Watanabe, editor Miyazawa, what a coincidence, did you come to the bamboo pavilion for a drink early in the morning?"

President Murakami greeted Kazuo Watanabe and Hira Miyazawa not far away.

There are only a few comic publishing houses in JD.com. They have been in this industry for a long time, and it is difficult for them to know the editors and presidents of each publishing house.

President Murakami, Kazuo Watanabe's father, and Miyazawa Hei are all from the same era, and they knew each other early.

"President Murakami, hello."

Kazuo Watanabe also greeted curiously.

Besides them, the editors and presidents of Weekly Shonen Sunday, Weekly Shonen Magazine, and Youth Plus also came forward to greet each other.

"Who are the editors of Weekly Shonen Sunday, Weekly Shonen Magazine, Youth Plus, Hot Blooded Boys Weekly, Chaoyang Weekly? Please follow me."

The maid came forward and said to them respectfully after knowing their identities.

Then, the waitress took them to a large-looking private room.

"Private Room No. 7, is it here?"

The green wood stone man couldn't help but asked aloud.

"Yes, everyone is a guest of Room 7."

The waitress nodded.

"Is it really a liar? Huh, I'll just see who it is and call us over together."

President Murakami said, and pushed open the wooden door of the private room.

But to my surprise, there was only a young man sitting in the private room.

"Teacher Akira Toriyama?"

"Teacher Anda Chong!"

"Teacher Inoue!"

The editors in charge had all met Higashino Hirosawa, and when they saw Higashino Hirosawa, they all spoke up.

Then, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

Thinking about it carefully, their destinations are all in the same room, and an unbelievable idea emerged in their minds.

"Thank you editors for taking the time to come, please sit down."

Higashino Hirosawa nodded to them.

Seeing the disbelief on their faces, Higashino Hirozawa said again: "Everyone is right, Dragon Ball, Baseball Heroes, Hunter x Hunter, Slam Dunk, and Kindaichi Casebook are all drawn by me. "

"how can that be!"

"These comics, each of which is serialized twice a week, right?"

Even though it was personally admitted by Hirozawa Higashino, the editors present still couldn't believe it.

After this week, there will be 10 episodes serialized, and an average of more than one episode will be drawn a day.

Under normal circumstances, it is not bad to be able to serialize one episode a week.

It is impossible to serialize 10 episodes a week!

"Nothing is impossible, I draw very fast."

Higashino Hirosawa smiled.

But these experienced old editors still don't believe it.

quick?But how fast?It's not a question of whether it's fast or not, is it?
However, next, Hirosawa Higashino drew a few pages of the manuscript in front of them.

The manuscripts of the five comics each drew two pages, and on average, each page took less than 2 minutes.

Watching this scene in shock, these editors finally believed Higashino Hirosawa's words.

"It's amazing, Mr. Higashino, I didn't expect that all these popular comics were created by you alone! It's really unimaginable!"

"I don't know why Mr. Dongye asked us to come here?"

An editor of the weekly Boys Sunday couldn't help asking after being amazed.

The rest of the editors have the same idea.

Hiroze Higashino had been hiding for so long, now let them come over and expose this amazing secret.

There must be a reason for him to do so.

"I hope that several of your magazines will announce the news that I am the author of these cartoons at the same time, and try to make it as loud as possible."

Higashino Hirosawa said.

That's right, Hirozawa Higashino wants to complete the evolution ceremony of high-level life forms by announcing that he is the author of these five popular comics.

With the current popularity of these five comics, as long as the promotion is proper, it is very simple to complete the evolution ceremony.

After he became a high-level life form, as long as he continued to provide comics, he could continue to gain the power of spiritual consciousness.

After these comics are finished, he doesn't even need to continue drawing by himself. As long as he creates an environment for the society like the god of fighting skills, so that a steady stream of excellent comics can be born, he can gain a steady stream of power.

"Yes, we will do our best to fulfill this request of Mr. Higashino!"

After thinking for a while, the presidents of several comic magazines made a decision on the spot.

The reason is very simple. There is no exclusive contract between them and Hiroze Higashino. Hiroze Higashino can announce that he is the author of the manga at any time.

The announcement that Hirosawa Higashino is the author of these five popular comics is actually a great thing for the five magazines.

They can already foresee that once this news is announced, it will cause strong repercussions in the society.

At that time, their five weekly comic magazines will receive unprecedented attention, and their sales will inevitably soar.

For a perverted author like Higashino Hirosawa who can draw more than ten chapters a week by himself, you can help him, build a good relationship with him, and increase the sales of your magazine. If you don’t do it, you’d be a fool.

After reaching a consensus, the editorial directors of several editorial departments discussed with Higashino Hirosawa in the izakaya how to operate in order to achieve the best results.

After a little discussion, a group of people had an approximate method of operation.

Higashino Hirosawa thought for a while, and agreed.

　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, fellow book lovers!
