Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

"...As the only light in the whole painting, it is a fat man who is like a lamb to be slaughtered. The man in the center of the room, who should be the protagonist of the whole painting, is hiding in the shadows.

While using the light and shade to highlight the layering of the painting, the painter also cleverly integrates his heart into it. The creatures in the world live under the sun, enjoying the sun but as powerless as lambs, while the existence that controls their life and death stands in the dark, and the rope that can easily break their necks is his toy..."

In the article, the words of praise from the teacher Futami Jiraiya are about to turn into bubbles.

As a literary girl who drinks and recites poems on rainy days and can find haikus to suit the story of herself and Hojo-kun at any time, Yukino Momoka's artistic accomplishment can be said to be the highest in Ruyi Liao. Even Kasumigaoka Utaha, who can create dramas and write best-selling books, cannot compare to this. After all, the latter does not really like literature. Any rhetoric and techniques are just tools in her hands.

Yukino is different. When Hojo-kun plants an apple tree for her, she will silently say in her heart, "Even if it is the end of the world, I will plant an apple tree"; when Hojo-kun is running around to save Itomori, she will bid farewell with gentle eyes, "I want to turn into a small white chair so that you can sit and watch the sea when you are tired"; when Hojo-kun hugs her under the corridor to enjoy the rain, she will squint her eyes to feel the tranquility surrounded by the rain curtain, "In the ancient pond, a frog jumps into the center of the water, making a sound"; when Hojo-kun suddenly becomes a junior high school student, she will sit in a cafe and miss him, "How can I stop? I am lingering on my feelings; although I pray to the gods of heaven and earth, my thoughts are only growing."

As Hojo Kyosuke has always said, with Yukino's drinking capacity and talent, if she travels back to ancient times, she must be a figure like Li Qingzhao. But it is more likely that she will be bullied to death before she has time to shine.

This is also the reason why everyone is willing to get close to her. The fragrance of books and ink on her body is like a beauty walking out of a classical painting. Even Naoka would ask her for advice from time to time, and the two discussed designing clothes together.

Even such an artistic girl who was well-versed in classical literature and modern art now looked at the princess of the Spencer family with shocked eyes.

But the princess had no time to care about other people's reactions. As early as when she got the newspaper, she immediately announced the convening of the first newspaper reading conference in Ruyi Liao, requiring everyone (including Momotaro and Kashiko) to devote 120% of their attention to learning the spirit conveyed by this article. If anyone didn't read it attentively, don't blame her Eriri for being ruthless!

Sakura held back her laughter and pulled the hem of Yukino's clothes, and the two of them got together and read the newspaper again.

"…I don't know much about painting, and I'm afraid that what I can feel is less than one percent of the painter's intentions, but even this one percent makes me admire it.

The most commendable thing is that when this painter poured her heart and soul into showing her skills, she did not forget that she was creating a poster for a novel.

"The Dream and Death of Writer K", the protagonist broke away from the muddle-headed daily life and embarked on the road of literary creation, but lost in another vicious circle, tortured by the so-called honor...

According to the general understanding, writers who stand on the podium, occupy the spotlight and the camera and enjoy endless honor and attention are the absolute protagonists, but they are just ordinary people living in the sun, and they are also helpless. What can really decide whether he wins the award and whether he can go to the podium is the unknown judges hidden behind. They control the life and death of writers like the god of death standing in the dark.

But on the poster, it is completely the opposite! The judges who should have held the scythe of the god of death lay on the ground like lambs to be slaughtered, enjoying the only light The situation of the two is completely reversed.

The painter perfectly comprehended the core of the novel and expressed it all through ingenious conception and almost showy painting skills.

When you first look at this painting, you can see the painter's excellent painting skills. When you look at this painting again, you will feel despair from the only light. After reading "The Dream and Death of Writer K", you will find that the artistic content of this painting is far beyond your imagination. This is no longer a painting, but a story, a story that is deeply influenced by O. Henry. It is full of ups and downs, full of surprises, both unexpected and reasonable.

To be honest, I haven't seen such an excellent writer and painter in Japan for a long time. Their cooperation is the best thing I have seen this year..."

Miss Sawamura's face, which was originally as delicate and white as white porcelain, is now even more dazzling and bright. Little Kashiko-san sitting next to her even raised her little hand to cover her eyes, as if she was dazzled. The kind-hearted Naoko saw it, and took Kashiko into her arms with pity, using her body to block the dazzling Eriri.

"…I have seen many beautifully made promotional posters, but I have never seen one with such artistic content. Just like the value of magazine gifts nowadays far exceeds the magazine itself, if this poster was given as a blank notebook as a gift, I would be happy to pay for it. Not to mention that it represents such an excellent novel.

When I was reading the newspaper today, I saw some bad reviews about Mr. Hojo and his new book and posters in a newspaper. Mr. Matsumoto Motohiro is indeed a famous critic. His words are like pearls, and his words are sharp like a knife cutting me. After reading his comments on Mr. Hojo's new work and posters, and looking at my own feelings, I was immediately scared and sweating all over.

I thought to myself, is it because my knowledge is too shallow that I cannot see through the essence like Mr. Matsumoto? Didn’t you see that the neon literature world was about to be destroyed by Mr. Hojo?

I knew that I had little talent and knowledge, so I quickly brought these posters to Mr. Hishida Akiyoshi. You may be a little unfamiliar with this name, but in the world of neon calligraphy and painting, this gentleman is an incredible figure. He came from the Kano school of painters and was a disciple of Mei Ming. Later, he went to China and Europe and America for further studies, where he learned the masters of each school and created a new school. Of course, everyone may not understand or be willing to hear about his artistic achievements. Let me give you an example. Last year in the United States, a painting by Mr. Hishida was sold for three million US dollars..."

This is the reason why "Asahi Shimbun" can become the second largest newspaper in the country and is popular among both refined and popular people. The writers invited are famous and knowledgeable, and the guests invited by the writers themselves are also great people, but the articles they write are not highbrow but written in a way that ordinary people like to read.

What is it about the Kano School that most people don’t understand, but a painting can earn three million US dollars before a person dies? Isn’t this artistic content sky-high?

"...Fortunately, Mr. Hishida also made a very high evaluation after seeing the poster. I feel ashamed to say that in fact, a large part of my previous feelings came from him. But it is a pity that , although we both like this poster very much, we have one big difference, and that is——

I think the artist who created this poster and Mr. Hojo are a perfect match, but Mr. Hishida insists that such an excellent painter should focus all his energy on painting, and he will definitely become the pride of the country.

After meeting Mr. Hishida, the stone in my heart finally fell to the ground. It seems that although Mr. Matsumoto’s artistic attainments are not as good as his, Mr. Hishida and I can still encourage each other. I would like to sincerely make a request to Mr. Matsumoto, please give Mr. Hishida and I a chance to learn from you.

In addition, Mr. Matsumoto also put forward a very interesting theory, saying that Mr. Hojo relied on exquisite posters to attract customers to buy. With a rigorous and serious attitude, I asked my friends to find all the works of Mr. Matsumoto, and I wanted to study what kind of spirit the posters used by the teacher to promote new books convey. But I called all the phones in my address book, but couldn't find a poster. In the end, I had to painfully accept the fact that Mr. Matsumoto's new book never specifically drew posters.

To paraphrase Mr. Matsumoto’s words, “I was shocked.” I quickly asked my friend, how can I promote Mr. Matsumoto’s new book without posters? Friends said that Mr. Matsumoto did not promote it.

Si Kunichi is worthy of being Mr. Matsumoto. He doesn’t need publicity at all. What an appeal this is! I was shocked and couldn't help but curiously asked again, "How are the sales of Mr. Matsumoto's works?" Faced with my question, my friend was a little embarrassed, and finally told me, "Most of Mr. Matsumoto's books have been returned to the publishing house."

In Sri Lanka, Mr. Matsumoto is worthy of being a teacher, and he truly combines knowledge and action. He criticized Mr. Hojo for causing trouble in the neon literature world by using exquisite posters to attract purchases. However, he himself set an example and would not bother to use exquisite posters even if none of his works were sold.

Just when I was shocked and incoherent by Mr. Matsumoto's integrity, my friend told me another piece of information, "Mr. Matsumoto spends a lot of money to find someone to customize the cover of each work." This...

I quickly read Matsumoto-sensei’s works. One of the books discussed writing techniques. The cover showed a blonde with a great figure. This was also the best-selling book among Matsumoto-sensei’s works. I'm ashamed to say that I, a stupid person, actually thought that this book would discuss some content about gender, but I almost fell asleep after reading two lines. I could only marvel again at how high the reading threshold for Mr. Matsumoto's works is.

Then I found two novels (illustrations) by Mr. Hojo (illustrations)

The cover of "The Devotion of Suspect X" is a red letter X pressed on a black background, plus a silhouette of a character. The cover of "The Dream and Death of Writer K" is a blue letter K pressed on a white background... I couldn't help but feel a little angry when I saw this. What happened to Mr. Hojo? He has already deceived readers with posters. Why not learn from Mr. Matsumoto and take photos yourself if you can’t find a beautiful female model? It just so happens that Mr. Hojo’s appearance is very good.

After some tossing, I gained a deeper understanding of what Mr. Matsumoto said. You can’t spend too much time on promotional posters, you can only spend more time on the cover! This is what a good author should do. This is not just Mr. Hojo, I also want to learn more from Mr. Matsumoto..."

Why does newspaper sales soar as long as there is a quarrel between literati and writers? One of them is that these writers' swearing is really interesting. The whole text seems to be polite, but in fact it is very damaging. You can learn many swearing skills, which is really important for neon people who lack vocabulary. The other is to satisfy the general public's curiosity for novelty. How can writers who are usually gentle and polite have such a faceless quarrel?

The biggest feature of the "Asahi Shimbun" is to criticize conquests, politicians, and the Prime Minister. There are also politicians who will pay to criticize each other in the newspaper, but everyone knows that those things are not good birds. They scold them back and forth like a dog biting a dog. Not only It's not funny but disgusting.

Literary writers are different. When I read their works, I always imagine how magnificent and magical the world in their hearts is. Today, I can finally get a glimpse of it from the newspaper. Hey, it turns out that you like to curse people just like me. That's great. I am also a writer after rounding up!

But even if it is a war of words, it is really surprising to see that the usually gentle Futami Jiraiya is so angry. Some readers who have not bought Sankei Shimbun are planning to buy a copy later to see who the Matsumoto teacher is, who can make Futami so angry. Look, the sales of this newspaper have increased, right? When Sankei Shimbun publishes another article cursing with Futami tomorrow, the sales of Asahi will also increase.

Of course, as both sides mentioned, Hojo Kyosuke and "The Dream and Death of Writer K" will definitely increase sales. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the article "The Destruction of the Japanese Literary World" was so vicious, Hikigaya Hachiman would have suspected that this was also arranged by the military advisor, just to ignite the topic again. After all, it takes two to tango, and it gets boring to praise people all the time. It's different when multiple people come to scold, the person who praises will feel provoked to defend his own point of view and be more energetic.

"After talking about the poster and the novel, let's see if passers-by are deceived as Mr. Matsumoto said. For this reason, I specially interviewed the owner of the ramen shop, Mr. Koyama. Mr. Koyama commented on the poster as "it has both postmodern style and neon tradition, and the Victorian style can be seen from the character's modeling. The background creatively uses pop art. It is a painting that ordinary people will like." In addition, the bookstore owner revealed to me that Mr. Koyama has already reserved ten copies of "The Dream and Death of Writer K". It seems that passers-by have been deceived as Mr. Matsumoto said.

Tomorrow is the official release date of "The Dream and Death of Writer K". I will interview Mr. Koyama again and ask him if he feels deceived, and write the content of the interview for you to watch. At the same time, you are also welcome to share your impressions with me..."

Hikigaya Hachiman has been confirmed. This is definitely a publicity arranged by the military advisor!

Thanks to the big guys for their monthly tickets, recommendation tickets and reward support, thank you.

Oh, oh, I forgot, I will write more tomorrow! ! ! ! ! ! ! Damn it, cheer up!
