The sales volume of comics is 1.5 million volumes, which can be regarded as the ceiling of Japanese comic sales.

That is a place that many comic writers dream of squeezing in - even if they sacrifice half of their lives, as long as they can squeeze in, it will be worthy of praise for the rest of their lives.

After all, when it reaches that point, it is already a phenomenal comic.

Phenomenon comics...that's not about figures, posters, keychains, etc., selling well.

Instead, even those who sell underwear will come to find ways to obtain the property rights and produce underwear series related to comic characters...

This is the charm of phenomenal comics.

Of course, it is naturally difficult to reach that level.

In the past nineteen years, the peak of all comics and magazines.

In recent years, it has been seen that paper comics are getting more and more declining, and it is more difficult for comic works to reach an average sales of 1.5 million volumes. This is a curse that all comic magazines cannot escape.

After all, with the emergence of the Internet era and various online comic media eras, this has had a huge impact on traditional print media such as comic magazines.

Especially the emergence of smartphones later caused a devastating blow to the comic magazine industry - all comics can be accommodated on a small smartphone. Compared with more than 300 pages of difficult-to-carry comic magazines, smartphones can be carried with you, and you can watch it if you want... This portability will naturally affect the comic magazine industry.

Like the world of Higashinoji's previous life, the sales of the young comic giant "Weekly Boy Jump" has dropped to two million copies from time to time - and at its peak in the 1990s, "Jump" once had a good result of selling more than six million copies.

Before the advent of the Internet era and before the development of paper media, drawing several phenomenal works was also considered one of Higashinoji's goals.

After all, technological progress is a torrent of the world and even the times. Even if he is a time traveler, he cannot walk against this torrent.

This time, "Unnatural Death" allowed Higashinoji to see the hope of entering the ceiling of comic sales, so he naturally had to polish it carefully.

To this end, Higashinoji did not even personally negotiate the animation and live-action TV drama of the two works "The Winner Is Justice" and "The Lonely Foodie", but instead focused on preparing for the "Unnatural Death" in his hand.

The result of the negotiation seems to be that the animation copyright of "The Winner Is Justice" was taken down, while "The Lonely Foodie" was dramatized by live-action TV.

As for Urashima Publishing Society, will not cut down the profits Higashinoji deserve?

This is certainly unlikely.

As the author of the pillar of Urashima Publishing House, Higashinoji was afraid that Urashima Publishing House would be able to reduce its profits when he put it in his mouth. This is simply a joke... Urashima Publishing House's senior management is not that stupid, otherwise how did they make Urashima Publishing House bigger to this scale?

Of course, in order to avoid such stupid people in the world, Higashinoji still hired a lawyer to follow Hosokawa Koharu to coordinate and confirm the animation and live TV drama.

With such double insurance, Higashinoji naturally doesn't have to worry about interests.

But although there is no need to worry about interests... but Japan's level of realizing comics... This is up to be discussed.

There are many positive examples, but there are also many negative examples.

Fortunately, the protagonist Inoto Goro in "The Lonely Foodie" has a normal hairstyle and is in line with aesthetics - it is not enough to make the live-action director of the TV series come up with a broom like in "I am Big Brother".

Higashinoji comforted himself for the time being, and at the same time recalled whether he had drawn some weird characters to avoid seeing the hairstyles of those weird characters being so stunning...

While comforting himself, he kept comforting himself.

In such a focused working state, the sixth episode of "Unnatural Death" has officially begun to be serialized.

The good foundation of the previous five chapters was also revealed at this moment.

The sixth chapter of "Unnatural Death" did not show that readers had more than 200 votes in favor of the reader as in the first chapter, but was stable at 673 votes.

Many comic readers expressed their interest in the next development after reading the sixth chapter, and many comic readers said that the theme of "forensic detective" is very fresh and interesting in the past.

This result made many Urashima Publishing House editors feel relieved.

"Unnatural Death" does not have any "lowdown" as many newspapers and magazines have analyzed.

On the other hand, Higashinoji, who received such positive feedback, naturally did not hesitate and continued to devote himself to his work.

After all, the reader has no resistance, which means that the general direction is correct and you can continue to draw.

As for Iwakao Publishing House and Mochi Bookstore.

When he saw Higashinoji's "Unnatural Death" not weakening his momentum at all, he simply shut his mouth and secretly sharpened his knife, preparing to give him a knife when Higashinoji's "Unnatural Death" was in a downturn.

Sakamoto, who had ridiculed and sarcastic "Unnatural Death", announced early that he would temporarily stop the writing and rest for a while.

He was really hit by Higashinoji and felt that no matter how much the comic was drawn, he would probably be dominated by Higashinoji at that time, so he simply gave up struggling.

But what Sakamoto didn't expect was that even if he gave up struggling, many people dug out his previous remarks and laughed at him repeatedly.

This really made Sakamoto angry and anxious. He wanted to make comments online, but no matter how he wrote the article, he felt something was wrong.

This really corresponds to the saying - when you lose, everything you say is like an excuse, and everything you say is wrong.

He could only sigh and give up using his official account to make comments. Instead, he made a forum account and angrily criticized Higashinoji's shortcomings of "Unnatural Death" on the Internet.

This was originally a kind of self-ventilation, Sakamoto just let it go and then went to work on other things and never cared about it again.

But what he didn't expect was that the post became popular the next day.

Sakamoto was actually sprayed on thousands of floors continuously, and it is still increasing.

Some of the comments inside almost made Sakamoto almost irritated.

Some people think that they are drunk and crazy and speak without any sense of reason. Why is such a good work as "Unnatural Death" worthless in your mouth?

Some people also ask him to get out of here at the end of the post. Don’t comment randomly if you haven’t read the actual content of the comic.

Of course, there are also some neutral netizens among them. They also think Sakamoto's speech is biased and seems to be a little unaware of comics...

Sakamoto was almost so depressed that he vomited blood when he saw these remarks.

I don’t understand comics? I am the author of Taizi of Mozhu Bookstore!

Sakamoto immediately began to criticize these netizens who scolded him, and once again made a statement about "Unnatural Death" - although some places are reasonable, no one on the Internet is willing to reason with Sakamoto.

Gradually, Sakamoto felt more and more helpless.

Because if you swear by them, they can reply to you a hundred or even thousands of sentences... This is really a fight between two fists and four hands.

There are even some people who know how to use computers to lock their actual address through their IP addresses.

This scared Sakamoto. He made a special trip to use a small account but didn't want people to know his originality. When he saw his IP address posted under the post, he was immediately scared to delete the post.

But what he didn't expect was that his post had long been locked by the forum administrator - after all, this post has become popular and has a topicality.

This result made Sakamoto helpless and had to cancel his account and disappear from then on.

But this did not stump readers of "Unnatural Death" who are powerful. They locked the IP address itself and followed the information flow, and finally found that the other party was actually affiliated with Sakamoto's studio.

This caused a storm.

Many people said that it was Sakamoto who had never competed for Teacher Higashino and had lost the battle. No wonder he had a sour citrus smell.

This is considered a case-solving.

Feng Xiang suddenly changed from discussing whether "Unnatural Death" is good or bad to discussing whether Sakamoto was confused and started to go crazy after he closed the writing.

Some Sakamoto fans who are not sure about this are a little unacceptable to this - you just said that you closed the pen last second, and I was still sad for you. I was full of my mind and wanted to read your new comics.

As a result, you will see you on the Internet in the next second? And you still eat the sourness of lemon?

Have off powder and quit powder.

Even Higashinoji's eyes were attracted by this inexplicable storm.

He had been focusing on drawing comics, but Yumi Takahashi suddenly mentioned the popular post on the Internet, which made Higashinoji a little curious, and even went online to take a look.

To be fair, Higashinoji thinks this post is really well written, and it was written by someone with professional knowledge.

However, the other party obviously does not understand the current Internet trend. When others say that "Unnatural Death" is good, you have to jump out and say something bad is bad, and the drawing is very rubbish... Isn't this the standard ky in Japan (referring to people who can't understand the air), and are you looking for scolding? This is the Internet trend. At present, most comic readers like to read remarks praising "Unnatural Death".

Higashinoji was still a little interested in the content of this post, but when he saw that the other party belonged to Sakamoto Studio and almost even the color of his underwear was revealed, he couldn't help but open his mouth, a little gloating.

He is a person of this kind of temperament. Don’t tell him anything about forgiveness, forgiveness... that’s all just nonsense.

Others are secretly sharpening their knives and stabbing you, but you have to forgive him and forgive him... Isn't that arguing with yourself?

And this Sakamoto has been in trouble for eight lifetimes.

This post is probably the spam he used to vent, and the other party probably didn't care much, but this spam post became popular and his identity was dug out... It was simply unlucky.

It's really funny.

However, although this incident has caused storms outside the circle, there is not much fluctuation in the circle of the comics industry, and few commentators are willing to express their opinions on this matter.

After all, Sakamoto has already closed the pen. What's the point of you picking up an author who has temporarily closed the pen and spray it? At worst, the other party can just pretend to be dead.

Besides, if everyone looks up and sees you, there is no need to offend people to death.

The remaining bubbling players who like to communicate on the forum just looked at the locked posts and found that Sakamoto had cancelled his account. Then he shook his head and shifted his focus back to the "Unnatural Death" comic.

The seventh episode of "Unnatural Death" is released!

"No, who has opened that room before. It was a murder case. We told the Maori police officer and submitted information..."

"It's probably because they didn't see it."

"Why?"

"The victim was alone and was determined to die. The relatives of the head of the family wanted to close the case as soon as possible. The police still had many major cases. It was better to have less than more things. It was better to pretend that they didn't see it."

"Please wait!"

Mikoto Misumi raised her eyes. She used an extremely complicated expression in the comic, unable to tell whether she was sad or sad, and said:
