Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

Although Kita Ward, where Eiri's family is located, and Chiyoda, where Akihabara is located, can be said to be one north and one south, the straight-line distance is only about six kilometers, and it only takes 14 minutes to reach them along National Highway 17.

Therefore, even though it is divided into 23 wards, Tokyo is actually very small, so Kyousuke Maki and the others would just go "cross-provincial" if they went for a night drive.

Parking the motorcycle at the parking spot, Hojo Kyosuke got off the car first and then stretched out his arm for Eri to help him get off.

"So Akihabara is so lively so early?" Looking at the crowd in front of him, Hojo Kyousuke felt afraid. He didn't want to get wrinkled in the new clothes he wore for the first time.

"Hahaha, this is the holy land for otakus."

Beside him, Yinglili's proud voice sounded. Turning around to look, he finally understood why Yinglili wasn't wearing a disguise three-piece suit.

At this moment, the girl had put on her huge hat, her golden hair was completely hidden, even her smooth forehead was covered, and only the tip of her delicate little nose was exposed.

"Yinglili, can you still see the road?" While marveling at Yinglili's disguise skills, he expressed his worries.

"Idiot, isn't it your job to open the way?" Ying Lili raised her head and scolded.

Although, even if you raise your face, I can't see your eyes at all. Hojo Kyosuke casually muttered yes, and then took the lead into the crowd.

Unlike the last time he came here with a clear goal, Hojo Kyousuke, who had already entered the circle, easily pushed aside the crowd in front of him while looking at this street that was crowded with wallets, no, crowded with otakus.

Even though the buildings on both sides are covered with advertisements and posters, you can still tell that they are very old. The layout of the streets is not the popular shopping street style, but there are also some new buildings mixed in, which are also decorated from top to bottom. It is covered with cartoons and cartoons, some of which are so huge that they take up half the size of the building, giving it a chaotic aesthetic.

"How about it? Isn't it shocking!" Behind Hojo Kyosuke, Eiri, who didn't feel like a holy war at all when she came to Akihabara, automatically stepped into the role of a tour guide.

"Indeed, it's hard to imagine why a street selling electrical appliances would look like this. So is this how tech geeks change the world?"

"Hahaha, what are you talking about? Even now, this is still an electrical appliance street. Basically, you can find any kind of electrical appliance here." The girl was instantly amused and giggled.

"Is that the gashapon machine in the corner over there?" The only thing in Akihabara that can rival Otaku in number is the gashapon machine. As long as there is a free corner outside the store, you can basically see that thing. There are three upper, middle and lower ones. The layers are piled tightly.

"Yes, yes, what do you think? Do you want to go check it out? The gashapon machine in that store often has limited edition goodies."

Mentioning this, the girl excitedly jumped out from behind Hojo Kyosuke and grabbed his sleeves. It seemed that as long as the latter agreed, she would explode with all her strength and knock away everyone in front of him and take him to the gashapon. in front of the machine.

Hey, Yinglili, do you know that you look like a fool who can't wait to give the money in his pocket to the casino owner?

Of course Hojo Kyosuke knew what a gashapon machine was. The blind box that was popular in the country next door in his previous life was a variant of this thing. To put it simply, it is to make use of randomness, rarity, and the psychology of winning, so that cheap products can be successfully produced.

"If I'm not in a hurry to buy comics, I don't care." Looking at the eager girl, he didn't refuse.

"Hmm..." Looking at the people gathered in front of the gashapon machine, and then at the Gujiguji Bookstore further ahead, Yinglili only hesitated for half a minute before making a decision.

"It's better to buy comics first. After all, without my reply, your comics may be cut in half."

As if helpless, Eiri shook her head and sighed, then hid behind Hojo Kyousuke again, stretching out her two hands to push him forward.

"Haha, thank you so much, Teacher Eiri." Smiling, Hojo Kyosuke walked forward obediently.

The reply letter can also be understood as a questionnaire, which is what "Weekly Shonen High" uses to determine the fate of comics.

The bookstore where the two met was as busy as ever. Fortunately, everyone was relatively well-educated and checked out after making a simple selection. Otherwise, there might have been a long queue outside.

This is also the first time Hojo Kyosuke knows the name of the bookstore "Guji Guji", which can only be said to be very two-dimensional. Of course, this is translated, the actual store name is written in katakana.

It is said to be a bookstore, but in fact it also sells game CDs and various peripherals, but it is actually located upstairs. The first floor is mainly for books.

After passing a boy who happened to be walking out with a thick copy of "Weekly Shonen High", the two of them walked in.

The interior of the bookstore seems a bit crowded, with books placed front and back, left and right, and each bookshelf has categories written on them, and they are also classified according to release date and so on. Although the bookshelves are placed very regularly, the basic area is just here, and the aisles between bookshelves, bookshelves, and walls are very narrow.

"Kyosuke Kyosuke, that man is holding our manga in his hand." As soon as he walked in, Erili immediately came to Hojo Kyosuke's side and said in an excited voice that could not be concealed.

Because of the narrow aisle, the two of them were basically squeezed together. In the space that was full of the smell of ink and plastic, suddenly the fragrance of eggs spread into Hojo Kyousuke's nose. What's going on? I'm suddenly a little hungry. Why does Yingli pear taste so strange?

"Idiot, there are more than just our comics on there. Maybe people buy every issue. What's there to be excited about?"

Although he said this, his heart also fluctuated. Yes, that person will be able to see the comics I drew later, and I will become a writer. Thanks to myself, thanks to Yinglili, and thanks to ONE.

"Idiot, idiot, of course I know, I just saw that you were too nervous, so you said that!" As if to counterattack, the girl said two idiots in succession.

Okay, Hojo Kyosuke rolled his eyes inwardly.

Coming to the relatively spacious magazine area, some stores will choose to place this kind of book at the door for the convenience of customers, and some stores will choose to place it at the very back of the store so that customers can take a look at the books on the way. Books, maybe some sales will increase.

Guji Guji is the latter, but his magazine area is relatively large, with two rows of small chairs, and even magazines that have been unpacked by the clerk are placed there for customers to view. Of course, even if he didn't take the initiative to remove it, a small layer of plastic paper still couldn't stop the cash-strapped Ah Zhai.

At this moment, a large group of people gathered in front of the bookshelf where "Weekly Shōnen High" was placed. Hojo Kyousuke originally wanted to shout to Smimasai to lead Eri Riri into the restricted area as usual, but was stopped by the latter.

"What's wrong?" He turned around and asked confused.

"It seems they are discussing "One Punch Man."" After entering the bookstore, Eri, still wearing a hood, pulled Hojo Kyosuke closer to the bookshelf.

"So are we eavesdropping now?" Hojo Kyousuke leaned next to Eiriri's head and whispered.

The spring coat is already very thin, and the ventilation system in the store is very good, so along with the sound, the warm breath reaches Yinglili's ears. Her sensitive ears were suddenly attacked, and the girl felt her body become soft for a moment, and her face turned red instantly.

Ah, this idiot, why are you so close? Doesn’t he know that the five centimeters around the beautiful girl is a restricted area? Huh, you really wanted to confess to me before, so you kept trying your best to get close to me.

"Don't get so close, you pervert." A voice no louder than breathing came from the girl's mouth.

"What?"

Forget it, just think of it as a bonus to celebrate the success of the comic in advance, and let him breathe the air filled with the scent of beautiful girls. Fortunately, the hood was big enough to hide the girl's red face in the shadows.

"How can the creator's affairs be called eavesdropping? This is called listening to readers' opinions, you idiot."

Shaking her upper body, Eiriri launched an attack on Hojo Kyousuke with her head. Unfortunately, buffered by her hair and hat, the attack seemed weak, even like an intimate touch between lovers.

The attacker, Hojo Kyosuke, obviously didn't understand the girl's intentions. He looked disgusted before, so why did he suddenly make such an intimate move again? I really don't understand.

Then, the people in front of the bookshelf behind them who were reading "Weekly Shōnen High" continued their discussion.

"It's so touching. Even such a nasty butt-chin kid is willing to risk his life to save it. Is this the ambition of the chief?"

? ? ? You guys are really haunted. Which branch are you from? Come to Dongcheng the day after tomorrow to practice more. Hojo Kyosuke looked confused. With so many members of the Rampage Angel, it's not surprising that there is an Otaku, but it wouldn't be right to meet him by such a coincidence, right?

"Hahahaha, let's talk about you, handless devil." Eiriri's body was shaking constantly, her laughter was mixed with teasing sounds, and while she was talking, she punched Hojo Kyousuke's stomach with her arm, her delicate voice full of laughter. It's pleasant.

Seeing that Eiriri had pulled him over to avoid being discovered, Hojo Kyousuke decided not to pursue his offense against the handless devil-sama.

"So let's find another bookstore?" It's common for authors to make a strategic retreat when someone decides to make a strategic exit, but it would be embarrassing if they were caught red-handed.

"No, this is a good opportunity to observe readers' reactions." Eirili held back a bad smile and tightly grabbed the corner of Hojo Kyosuke's clothes.

"But can it really become so powerful just by doing a hundred push-ups and a hundred sit-ups every day?"

"Asshole, you have so many opinions just from reading a comic!"

Yinglili, who was obviously just silently sad when others posted negative comments about her work, suddenly stood up like a lioness guarding her cubs, and was about to step forward to give that blind guy a look. .

"Calm down, please take a break from Eiriri-sensei's thunderous fury." Hojo Kyousuke quickly grabbed the girl's clothes, and the roles were instantly reversed.

"Really, does he know how difficult it is to insist on these exercises every day!"

Eiriri was still angry at being pulled away. This is the comic that Kyosuke and I worked so hard to draw! The girl has the urge to rush out, buy all the comics, and fill out ten thousand reply letters by herself.

Listening to the girl's thoughts, Hojo Kyousuke couldn't laugh or cry. You must know that when the two completed the final version, the girl also questioned this point, and what she said at that time was the same as that person.

And although he is engaged in fan creation that is not affected by commercial influence, the girl often tells him when he is actually creating, "Although being a writer is a very free profession, you must also fully consider the readers' reactions, and you cannot just let yourself go." ."

But the girl who said those words looked unreasonable at the moment. While he was amused by the girl's cute behavior, Hojo Kyousuke knew that it was Eiriri's way of protecting him.

Looking at the girl who was being pulled by him and still muttering some horrible words like "I'll kill you" in her mouth, he felt a warm current flowing through his heart and felt a little weird, so was Yinglili trying to protect her shortcomings?
