Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

After saying please come in, the moment he saw the figure pushing in the door, Tetsuya Shimomura subconsciously covered his head and hid away from the door.

Hojo Kyosuke was startled by this strange behavior. The person who walked in was Akamatsu Yuki, the editor in charge of his novels. The novel department and "Weekly Shōnen High" are both under the umbrella of Eishusha, and share the same office building. He had informed the other party before coming, but editor Akamatsu was working outside at that time, and he only rushed back now.

"Stop hiding. It's impossible for me to attack you again in front of Teacher Hojo."

Akamatsu Yuki glanced at Shimomura Tetsuya and said in a bad tone.

"Do it?" Hojo Kyosuke asked doubtfully.

"This guy made such a big mistake, I just want to chop his head off!" Chisong said.

"This is a death threat! I will report it to my superiors!"

Editor Shimomura didn't speak. It was okay, but when he spoke, Akamatsu, who was opposite him, couldn't control his emotions.

"Okay, I was just planning to have a good chat with you in front of Executive Director Sanchiyo."

The work he is responsible for has the possibility of winning such a grand prize. Akamatsu is more concerned about it than anyone else. Even just now, he was running around outside for this matter. If his head was not normal, he really wanted to get this guy Tetsuya Shimomura. Get killed.

This winter, whether you will spend the winter at home smelling of kerosene, or go to Atami to enjoy the hot springs with the whole family, it all depends on whether Mr. Hojo can win the prize! His well-behaved little daughter heard that she could go to Atami for vacation. For the first time, she said welcome home to her father for several days in a row.

"You should really tell Mr. Hojo's loyal friends about this and let them come and have a good chat with you. Oh, I remember your son Shimomura is one of them, right? If Masao knew about this, I don't know what would happen Aren’t you extremely disappointed in your father?”

Akamatsu Yuuki's attacks came one after another, and he was really angry. Hojo Kyosuke's failure to win the award had far less impact on Shimomura Tetsuya than him. The other party would at most give up borrowing Mr. Hojo's reputation in the reasoning world and remain popular in the comics industry. But what about myself! Investing so much resources in the early stage to win prizes, not to mention wasted, will also affect subsequent marketing.

"Asshole, after all, I introduced Mr. Hojo to you. Is this how you treat your benefactor!"

Tetsuya Shimomura shouted angrily, if his son knew about this, he might ride his motorcycle into his bedroom and hit the accelerator tonight.

"The past is like smoke, and you can't stop moving forward just because of temporary success. As an editor, you don't know that, right? In the past, I was very grateful to you for introducing Mr. Hojo to me, but now, I am dedicated to Mr. Hojo. consider!"

"ungrateful……"

"Why was your bonus so generous at the last annual meeting? You wouldn't..."

"..."

Hojo Kyosuke sat aside and listened to the two arguing, slowly understanding what happened. My novel editor was so angry that he wanted to kill the other person because of the mistake made by the comic editor. At the same time, he may also be jealous of the other person's year-end bonus. I think the other party is trying to hinder my year-end bonus.

This kind of quarrel between editors is not common. The two of them are still good friends in the past, so they know each other's dirty information very well, from family conflicts to scolding about good works that they let go of in the past, to fake stories to urge manuscripts when they were still small editors. Going to help a writer find a cat in the rain sounds funny and sad at the same time.

Seeing the excitement, Hojo Kyousuke noticed something was wrong. Why were the two of them secretly peeking at him from time to time?

"Please give me some advice..."

"Why don't you persuade me?"

"Did you scold me harshly enough?"

"That's enough, I just took my seat."

"I can't understand what you are talking about."

"..."

The above is what Kyousuke Hojo, who has level 10 micro-expressions, interpreted from the weird expressions of the two people.

He finally understood, good guys, these two people are indeed good friends for many years, are they playing a double act for him?

After thinking about it for a while, he understood Akamatsu Yuuki's thoughts. Editors and publishing houses were the main force in winning prizes, and the authors cooperated. When some publishing houses invited well-known writers to submit manuscripts, they would also hint that as long as they switched jobs, they would be guaranteed to win. Get some award. Like comics, "Weekly Shonen High" gave itself all the awards it could get.

As a result, the publishing house is in trouble now. Editor Chisong is worried that he will leave in anger and go to a more powerful publishing house. That's why I'm acting here now, because I want to see for myself how serious he is about his work.

After thinking about it, Hojo Kyosuke relaxed his body and leaned against the back of the sofa. He had a good time watching the two editors exchanging glances and scolding each other wildly. With his excellent memory, he had already heard that the attacks between the two were repeated. The scene should be I can't continue acting.

After a while, the dry-mouthed two finally stopped. Akamatsu Yuki glanced at Hojo Kyousuke opposite, trying to see something from the smiling face, but found nothing.

He turned around and looked at his friend Shimomura.

"Did he see it?"

"possible."

"What does it mean to be possible?"

"He is a genius!"

"You bastard Ma Lu, wasn't it your suggestion to act in a love scene?"

"..."

Boom——!

"Private Marseille, Mr. Hojo, it was a mistake in my work."

Akamatsu Yuki hit the coffee table hard, much harder than Shimomura Tetsuya. It's no wonder that one is the editor and is already very good at it, while the other is an editor, and the intensity of his performance is still a bit too much.

"Let's take a look at this first."

Hojo Kyosuke didn't say anything, he just took out a stack of manuscripts from his briefcase and officially wrote "The Dream and Death of Writer K". Any apology is false. If the new book wants to have the influence it wants, editor Akamatsu and the publishing house still need to contribute.

"Is this?" Both editors were stunned.

"My new work, a novel."

Hojo Kyosuke smiled:

"Mystery novel."

"When did you become so productive?"

"Is your head stimulated?"

Both editors found it incredible. The former, Shimomura, had just received the manga handed over by Hojo Kyosuke and was shocked that he didn't delay the manuscript this time. The latter, Akamatsu, didn't expect that his Maxima not only stopped running away but also came up with a new work.

"Stop talking nonsense, don't watch me leave." Hojo Kyosuke's face darkened.

"look look look!"

Putting their heads together, the two editors read together.

Because they were doing review work, both of them read very quickly and finished reading it all in less than a while.

After the two looked at each other, they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"Did you do this this morning?" Tetsuya Shimomura was shocked when he saw the timestamp and was shocked by Hojo Kyosuke's talent.

"Do you want to publish it before the Mystery Association Awards?" Akamatsu Yuuki was shocked by Hojo Kyosuke's strong and domineering behavior.

"Well, if there are no problems, please be sure to complete the publishing work within a week. I will fully cooperate."

Hojo Kyosuke simply ignored Shimomura and looked at Akamatsu Yuki. He was very happy with his editor's cleverness.

"Have you really thought about it? Once you do something like this, there will be absolutely no turning back? In the future, your works will be studied under a microscope. If you reveal any flaws, the hyenas will surround you and bite you." Akamatsu Youqi said in a complicated tone.

"I have asked two teachers, Kurokawa Toyoma and Naganuma Hiroki, to read this book."

Hojo Kyosuke did not answer, but talked about something that seemed unrelated.

"What!? Have you shown it to the two judges? What did they say?" Chisong was surprised.

"I don't know yet. I plan to visit the two teachers after talking to you. I believe the result will satisfy everyone."

The smile on Hojo Kyosuke's face was still warm. Just as he believed in his own strength, he had no doubts about Kisaki's ability to do things.

"I understand... I will go find Executive Director Sanchiyo right now. I will never let Mr. Hojo's hard work go to waste!"

Chisong put his hands on his knees and solemnly lowered his head and promised. Such urgent matters naturally require high-level support to be completed. The executive manager Sanchiyo mentioned by him and Tetsuya Shimomura was their backer in the publishing house. They graduated from the same school.

"Then, when should the manga be serialized..." Tetsuya Shimomura said hesitantly.

According to Hojo Kyosuke's behavior, if he wants to show his tough attitude, it is best to do it before the association awards awards, but...

"Of course, after I win the prize!" Hojo Kyosuke said matter-of-factly.

"Hehe... Then I'm not welcome." Tetsuya Shimomura laughed dryly, adjusting his sales strategy again.

He didn't say anything at the moment about what to do if Hojo Kyosuke didn't win the prize. In fact, he secretly hoped that he wouldn't win the prize. If this happened, he would add the book "The Dream and Death of Writer K" Book, the popularity of the name Hojo Kyosuke is probably even higher than the award!

"But Hojo, you'd better discuss it with the association president in advance. He has always supported you." Akamatsu Yuki reminded.

"Well, I've already told him. President Konno is very supportive and offered to help me write recommendations."

How could Hojo Kyosuke not consider this kind of thing? Although "appropriate" modifications have been made in the novel, anyone who can read knows that he is scolding the Mystery Writers Association. This is equivalent to putting the association on the fire, just like scolding. Just like the Prime Minister, the public may not know who the specific judges are for a while, but they are definitely right to scold the president of the association.

So he had already called Kenzo Konno in the morning to tell him his plan, and showed it to the other party after he finished the draft. Kenzo Konno also said in a very reasonable manner that it was well done. He had long wanted to rectify some unhealthy tendencies in the association. Hojo Kyosuke helped him make up his mind.

The president's kind words made Hojo Kyosuke relieved. If the other party disagreed, he would... apologize sincerely and then take action as planned.

"I see...are you on the side of justice?" Akamatsu nodded with understanding. Almost everyone who has come into contact with Hojo Kyosuke can understand Hojo Kyosuke's strength. It is impossible to stop him. Chairman Kono You made the right choice.

Poor Toyoma Kurokawa, his plan to switch from villain to messenger of justice has already been claimed. All he can do is to move forward obediently according to the future planned for him by Hojo Kyosuke.

The three of them discussed various matters such as the promotion and publication of new novels and comics, and then broke up. They all still have many things to be busy with.

Tetsuya Shimomura went to fight for the section of "Detective Conan". Good sections require grabbing, but it also requires time and skills. Even a well-known writer will be scolded if he directly grabs other people's sections. . The culture of the younger generations not only squeezes the younger generations, but also restrains the older generations. In general clubs, if the leader invites you to have a meal together, you only need to drink and the meal will be paid by the seniors. In the comics industry, although squeezing assistants and apprentices has been a common practice for thousands of years, we must also prevent assistants from having random thoughts after they become famous. Even if they don't directly curse in newspapers, they will still make some weird remarks.

Akamatsu Yuuki's work is relatively heavy. It will be published within a week, not to mention printing, and the distribution problem is also very difficult. Fortunately, Hojo Kyosuke is not an unknown person. As long as his name is announced, bookstores will buy it. If it were an ordinary small author, he would have to hold a promotion meeting to convince booksellers and bookstore owners that his book will definitely sell well.

Hojo Kyosuke feels much more comfortable. The troublesome things have been basically solved. He will go to check and accept the results.

Bang——

The big black umbrella was opened, and the black oil-paper umbrella blocked the rain. Hojo Kyosuke walked towards the car parked on the roadside, followed by his subordinates who were also holding black umbrellas.

When he reached the roadside, Hojo Kyosuke turned back and looked at the earthy yellow office building of Eishusha. As expected, he saw the two editors standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the meeting room watching him off, so he smiled and waved goodbye.

When the two people upstairs waved hurriedly, the exchange of words did not stop.

"If you really don't win the prize, which mountain do you want to be buried on?"

"Why do I have to think about this kind of thing... How about Mount Ibuki? You can see Lake Biwa. I went there once and the scenery is great."

"I prefer the night view of Mount Hakodate. It is one of the three most famous night views in the world."

"It's too far. If you are so dissatisfied, you will be sunk directly into Tokyo Bay."

"That's right...then it's better to work hard to get things done. It's better to let Mr. Kurokawa Toyoma and others do things like reclamation. The aura on them will also make the scenery better."

While talking, both of them looked at the street in front of the office building. The place where Eishusha's headquarters is located is a bustling area in Chiyoda District, and there are many pedestrians even on rainy days.

Among the pedestrians coming and going, among the bustling transparent plastic umbrellas, two huge black umbrellas are so eye-catching.

They really doubt whether what is written in Mr. Hojo's new work "The Dream and Death of Writer K" is his fantasy as a writer or his abandoned murder plan.

Although they were indoors, the coldness of the spring rain seemed to reach them, making them shudder.

"Akamatsu-kun, try your best!"

"Try hard!"

Work hard for Mr. Hojo!
