Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

Chapter 582 Final Preparation

The next day, Hojo Kyosuke did not slack off, but went to Carbonic Acid Company with Eriri to prepare for the new book.

All promotional materials must be prepared today. Although there are still a few days before the release, it takes a lot of time to print and transport to various cities and distribute them to various bookstores.

In addition, thanks to Miss Himeno Kiyoko, the sales network has been further expanded in Hokkaido with the help of the Himeno family. Apart from other things, the Hokkaido Education Society has included "The Dream and Death of Writer K" in the purchase list and reading recommendation list of various school libraries, and also included "The Death of Suspect X".

The efficiency is amazing, as if the Education Society was opened by her Himeno family. Hojo Kyosuke was shocked when he heard the news this morning. No wonder Xisaki deliberately wanted to let himself use the beauty trick to confuse Himeno Kiyoko and others. The power of these Japanese aristocratic families is really amazing. The rigid and conservative tradition allows them to extend their tentacles to every corner of Japanese society. Even the other young ladies who seem insignificant have helped a lot. The worst one has made the "Minato Park Shibaura" Public Hall in Minato District pre-order 500 copies of "The Dream and Death of Writer K".

In Hokkaido, the hometown of Hojo Kyosuke, the "Hokkaido Shimbun" which was very enthusiastic during the interview before, I don't know whether it is the power of the Himeno family or simply caring about its own talented writer, it can't wait to publish the information of his new book in today's morning newspaper, and even praised it as a masterpiece that is not inferior to "The Devotion of Suspect X". Counting five hundred years ago and five hundred years later, except for Edogawa Ranpo and Matsumoto Seicho, no one can compare to Hojo Kyosuke.

Fortunately for someone, thanks to the declining population of Hokkaido, the sales of this newspaper are pitifully low. If it was Asahi Shimbun or something like that, he should consider whether to send Xisaki to knock on the door of the editor-in-chief of the newspaper and ask if he was bribed to mess with him.

On the Internet, Hojo Kyosuke's fan club is also active. It is said to be organized by fans, but in fact the vice president is Xisaki Tetsuta. Neon's fan culture and fan culture are crazy, and Xisaki almost turned this fan club into an army.

At this time, the people in the fan club and Xisaki's water army started all kinds of conspiracy theories with only a new book title, saying that Hojo Kyosuke was treated unfairly in the Neon Mystery Writers Association, so he wrote this novel in anger. Unrelated passers-by saw the melon and immediately got involved.

However, the conspiracy was thrown by the water army. The fans of the fan club were really angry and were already planning to protest at the door of the association. Vice President Xisaki was submitting an activity application to the relevant department. He was very skilled in this kind of thing. After all, he had done countless related rallies.

At the beginning, the person who helped them review their activities was just a small clerk in the General Affairs Department of Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and of course, he was also a family member of the members of the Rampage Angels. Hearing that his son finally wanted to legalize, the young father who had been worried all day was overjoyed. God knows how much he was afraid of seeing his son covered with a white cloth on the morning news the next day, so he immediately helped to move around in the review process and treated countless meals.

And this step into the shadow can never be turned back. He was valued by Xisaki and rose to prominence from then on. Three years later, he has been promoted to section chief. So good people still get good rewards!

Xisaki also wants to repay another good person-the president of the Neon Mystery Association.

He must help the other party make this protest and demonstration a big success and make the association famous.

"Wali Wali Mystery Association is not a bureaucratic organization. There is no darkness. Everything can be exposed to the sun. Let the people see our determination to reform!"

That's what President Kenzo Chino said at that time. Hojo Kyosuke and Xisaki Tetsuta believed that next year's Mystery Association Award would definitely become his one-man show.

That guy is too sinister and ruthless. He will beat the other factions in the association to death when he gets the chance, and eliminate dissidents openly. He completely regards Hojo Kyosuke as a precious sword and slashes at his opponent fiercely. However, considering that the other party has spared no effort to mobilize himself and the power of the association to promote Hojo Kyosuke's new book, the rage angel decided to forgive him, so both sides tacitly added fuel to the fire and made the fire burn more vigorously.

So, with the efforts of many good people, the promotion of Hojo Kyosuke's new book is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Eriri continues to draw posters. Just as Hojo Kyosuke guessed, this guy is determined to take on the painting task this time by himself. Well... helping out doesn't count as helping!

Hojo Kyosuke himself is drawing comics, not the Bleach Elementary School Student. There is no rush for that at the moment. The first issue of the serialization has been completed, and the serialization time will have to wait until after the association award.

He is drawing a manga based on "The Dream and Death of Writer K". It is not based on the content of the novel, but is similar to the content of the extra episode. Unlike other novelists, Hojo Kyosuke debuted as a cartoonist, but he must not forget his old profession. This is also an excellent promotional strategy. Others can only draw illustrations for their novels, but he directly draws comics!

For example, the unfinished article on the digital screen now tells the story of the protagonist's miserable life as a corporate slave in a sweatshop. On the screen, the protagonist with a cooling patch on his forehead is looking at the screen with no luster in his eyes, his hands are mechanically and numbly typing on the keyboard, and various functional drinks are scattered on the desk, but neither the cold cooling patch nor the caffeine can save the protagonist from waking up. In the next frame, the protagonist's face is pressed on the keyboard and he falls asleep, but before his eyebrows can relax, his boss hits him hard on the head with a paper tube. The protagonist wakes up suddenly and throws himself into work without a pause...

Working all night, washing hair in the bathroom sink, sleeping under the desk, falling asleep with the smell of the colleagues' feet opposite, and being pulled by the boss to drink after get off work, watching the boss flirting with the beautiful female receptionist...

In just a few pages of comics, the miserable life of office animals is extremely vivid. Eriri next to him is horrified and swears never to become an office animal. The assistant painters in the company feel sympathetic. Before they graduated, when they were assistants to cartoonists, their lives were not much better than this.

At the end of this extra, the protagonist stood on the rooftop of the company, raised his hands and shouted to the sky:

"I've had enough of this kind of life! I want to be a super powerful novelist!"

"I want to sell well! I want to win awards!"

"I want to find a hundred lovers, tall and long legs, thin waist and oval face!!!"

This comic was intended to be sent out as a pre-release promotion before the official release. In addition to being serialized on Hojo Kyosuke's personal website, because they belong to the same group, the editor-in-chief Shimomura Tetsuya of "Weekly Shonen High" also helped Hojo Kyosuke get a small section for release, which was considered a small advertisement.

After the assistant team perfected the small comic, Hojo Kyosuke sent it directly to editor-in-chief Shimomura.

He was about to continue drawing the next comic, but suddenly received a call from editor Shimomura. After only chatting for a few words, he hung up the phone without hesitation. Shimomura said that it was a waste to use such an excellent comic only as promotional material, and asked him if he wanted to start a new long comic directly.

Crazy, Hojo Kyosuke decisively refused, thinking that being too good is also a sin.

Admittedly, this short story is really good, after all, it is not easy to make the picky Eriri and many painters read it with relish. Apart from anything else, the sense of substitution of the office worker at the beginning is so strong that it can resonate with people. Although most of the buyers of comic magazines are still junior high school and high school students, they can also peek into their future through the tragic life of the protagonist, and then the naive students will dream of change and begin to look forward to the protagonist's future actions.

But I really just want to use it as an advertisement!

Sighing, Hojo Kyosuke felt helpless about his excellence.

The second comic will not be sent for free, and will be given as a gift to bookstores with large purchases, so that they can use it as a gift for activities. As for the content...

On the screen, a beautiful woman weighing 372 pounds, holding the well-proportioned protagonist, the two walked side by side on the riverside of the Sumida River. The tall Skytree could be clearly seen on the other side. Both of them had smiles from the bottom of their hearts, and the breath of happiness was about to seep out of the screen.

Yes, the content of this comic is the happy life of the protagonist and his wife and mother-in-law after he defeated all the enemies. Hojo Kyosuke showed his full strength, and even Eriri came to help. The two worked together to create a beautiful science fiction story.

It can be regarded as... a benefit for readers?

After the comic was sent, editor Shimomura called again, and his old illness relapsed. He said that this subject matter is very good, and later the plot can be arranged to say that the 372-pound heroine is actually suffering from a disease, and with the company and help of the protagonist, she recovered and became slim and beautiful, and then the two of them will fight in the literary world again together.

This guy is hopeless, Hojo Kyosuke hung up the phone.

Several short comics are also preparations for the subsequent film adaptation. The Japanese mystery novels are the most popular subject for film adaptation. Hojo Kyosuke directly saved a lot of effort for the editors of the adaptation.

Eriri's posters are already well completed. The two posters that were completed yesterday have become finished and submitted to the publisher. Now they are drawing the third one. If they work overtime, they will be able to see the promotional posters in bookstores and trains tomorrow.

At the end of the day, the genius beautiful girl painter Eriri was exhausted. When she returned home and saw Momotaro running to greet her, she became jealous.

Why am I tired like a dog, but you are so happy?

Without even changing her shoes, the blonde princess kicked Momotaro and made him roll three times. So Momotaro, who was eager to prove his loyalty, was also furious and immediately started to scold Eriri.

Although Miss Sawamura didn't understand the dog's barking, she could tell from Momotaro's expression that it wasn't a good thing. But it was obvious that who would be happy after being kicked and rolled over three times? So Eriri, who never suffered a loss, also started to quarrel with Momotaro, and Hojo Kashiko rushed to join the battle.

Hojo Kyosuke shook his head and walked into the kitchen to replace Yukino, intending to make some delicious food to reward Eriri.

In the evening, Eriri showed mercy and gave her body as a reward for useless chores. She could feel her smooth skin with her hands. Translated, it means to massage her. Although she was just sitting and painting, and she took many breaks in the middle, she was really tired!

During the massage, Hojo Kyosuke unconsciously thought of "Fist of the North Star". When he was young, he had thought about it when reading this comic. As long as he found the right acupuncture points, he could kill his opponent with just a touch of his finger. This kind of boxing is simply invincible.

"You are so strong!" Eriri said dissatisfiedly.

Later, Hojo Kyosuke thought, what kind of bullshit boxing method needs to find acupuncture points, and it is all about killing people with just a touch of your finger. Why not choose the invincible American style?

Before the massage was over, the blonde princess snored slightly.

Hojo Kyosuke smiled silently, and gently helped Eriri turn over, so the girl's breathing became long.

Looking at the sleeping beauty whose eyelashes were still trembling, Hojo Kyosuke leaned over and kissed her forehead gently.

"Good night."

He covered the quilt and closed the door.

"Is the work done?"

In the living room, only Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was wearing a purple nightgown, asked softly.

"Well, just wait for the release."

Kyosuke Hojo nodded, sat down, hugged Shiyu's long legs in his arms, and exhaled a little tiredly.

The black-haired girl moved her body and hugged Kyosuke Hojo in her arms, letting his head lie on her soft chest. Her two white and tender hands gently massaged his temples.

Smelling the intoxicating fragrance, Kyosuke Hojo closed his eyes.

The next day, the beautiful weekend ended. Fortunately, on Sunday, the most evil day in the world, Eriri was not tortured by the fear of the upcoming holiday, but worked hard to contribute to a better world.

Kyosuke Hojo went to school as usual and participated in club training. Everything was no different from usual, but the outside world was in turmoil because of him.

Minglun Bookstore, Chiyoda Jimbocho

This is the bookstore where Kyosuke Hojo held a book signing event before. It has a good relationship with him. This time, it directly purchased 3,000 copies of his new book and was quite active in publicity.

Early in the morning, a brand new promotional poster was placed in the most eye-catching position at the entrance of the store.
