"Unnatural Death" is about to be closed for one week?

The news spread throughout the editorial department of the publishing house within a moment. The entire editorial department was so big that the original manuscript of "Unnatural Death" could be known at once.

This made the Urajima Editorial Branch, who was responsible for printing literary works on the other side, look curious.

Because this is indeed a new thing.

Most editors who work at Urashima Publishing House know that Higashinoji's "Unnatural Death" has always been the treasure of the publishing house. They usually hold it in their mouths and are afraid of melting.

Higashinoji is also very successful. Not to mention the publication, the comic plot and sales have always remained high.

Why did the publication suddenly come to an end today?

The Japanese workplace is actually not that different from the workplaces in other countries, so there will naturally be people who gossip behind the scenes, especially this rare thing.

The editorial department gradually gained discussion, and Hosokawa Koharu was the first to bear the brunt.

My colleagues asked her curiously if there was something wrong with Higashinoji's body. After all, Higashinoji has been serializing weekly and monthly magazines for a long time. With such high-intensity work, it feels like sudden death is not uncommon.

No one thought about her relationship with Higashinoji. After all, in their opinion, this was a very ordinary personnel change. Hosokawa Koharu was unlucky and just lost Higashinoji, a big performer.

When facing a colleague's question, Hosokawa Koharu, who was working hard, also showed an expression that was completely unexpected.

As an editor who has worked with Higashinoji for nearly two years, she is the one who knows Higashinoji's work attitude best.

The other party’s original manuscript will basically be prepared three or four days in advance. She basically doesn’t have to bother and just go over and get the original manuscript.

She finally fooled her colleagues, and then ran outside the editorial department and called Higashinoji.

Not long after the call was called, Higashinoji there had already been contacted.

She asked directly without hesitation: "Teacher Higashino, I just heard that "Unnatural Death" was closed this week."

"Yes, the publication is closed, the original manuscript for this week is not ready." Higashinoji said happily: "There are a lot of things recently."

"There's a bit too much. I just came back from a trip. Do you have time to draw the original manuscript?"

Hosokawa Koharu asked with concern.

She always felt that she had owed Higashinoji. After all, as an editor, she just received the manuscripts, and she was a little embarrassed to not do anything else.

"Ah, it's almost the same." Higashinoji replied with a smile.

"That's right. It turns out that I'm too busy, so I didn't have time to submit the original manuscript, but I seemed to hear something from you, Mr. Higashino."

The more I heard it, the more I felt something was wrong, so I asked.

But before she could finish asking, she heard a "self-touching" sound coming from there.

This made her silent all of a sudden.

Is this mahjong just playing directly? Are you still too busy?

Hosokawa Koharu opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Higashiji with a smile: "I didn't play mahjong, it was Akui and the others who were playing. How could I play mahjong?"

"Oh" Hosokawa Koharu nodded reluctantly, and Tengnoji did not play mahjong.

Then she heard Higashinoji add: "I'm playing games with Sister Chiba next to me."

These words made Koharu Hosokawa, who had just felt relieved, cough violently.

After a while, she said a little amused and crying: "Teacher Higashino, really, don't make me happy."

"I didn't make you happy." Higashiji's laughter over there gradually faded, and he said, "There are still five chapters of "Unnatural Death" that are about to end, which cannot be changed."

Yes.

It is inevitable that the ending of "Unnatural Death" will be completed. After that, all the foreshadowings in front will be recycled one by one. If you want to continue painting, you will have to lay a long prelude. Higashinoji doesn't want that. Similarly, he also knows how much he has.

Therefore, even if someone holds a gun and puts it on his head, he will never be able to think about it a little. But he just thinks about it a little.

Part of the reason he was suspended from publication was indeed because of Hosokawa Koharu, and part of the reason was that "Unnatural Death" had to be completed, so he took this method.

Although it is not a clever method, it is sufficiently lethal.

At least Hosokawa Koharu took the initiative to call and asked, and Higashinoji probably knew that the editorial department there should be discussing it.

Hosokawa Koharu heard Higashinoji's tone that she would never take a step back, and she could only smile helplessly: "I understand, Higashino teacher."

She originally wanted to persuade Higashinoji not to do something that is so angry that he would be so impulsive about the hiatus, but since Higashinoji had already made plans, it would be hard for her to continue talking about it.

And how to say it.

She found that she was actually a little inexplicably relying on Higashinoji. When things happened before, she even wanted to call Higashinoji on his own initiative when things happened.

This surprised Hosokawa Koharu a little. It turned out that before he knew it, he had long been dependent on this young high school childbirth who was much younger than him.

In this case, Hosokawa Koharu couldn't find a solution.

She figured out Higashinoji's thoughts, hung up the phone and glanced at the editorial department.

I don't know what will happen in the future

“Welcome again.”

Kazuka Akasaka just breathed a sigh of relief after taking the new issue of "Aversion to Chill".

As the saying goes, only opponents know their opponents best. As the main author of "The Great Master", Kazuka Akasaka has gradually become a fan of "The Unnatural Death" while constantly studying "Unnatural Death".

no way.

Even as an opponent, Kazuka Akasaka saw Higashinoji's works and had to sigh that "Unnatural Death" was indeed well drawn, worthy of being a work that squeezed into the ceiling of the comics.

He is watching every issue of "Unnatural Death", and this issue is no exception.

But

"Well? Where is "Unnatural Death"?" Kazuka Akasaka repeatedly flirted with the "Aversion to Chill" in his hand, and only frowned after confirming that he did not find "Unnatural Death".

What is this situation?

He looked through for a long time and wanted to find this issue of "Unnatural Death".

But no matter how you turn it

Not found at all.

He even re-fetched the directory, but no matter how much he searched, he couldn't find anything he couldn't find.

"Unnatural Death" seemed to have disappeared suddenly from "The Cold" and completely lost its trace.

Kazuka Akasaka also thought about this episode of "The Cold" and then confirmed something.

"Is it possible that "Unnatural Death" has been closed?"

Retired.

This is a very common thing in the comics industry. The comics are also ordinary people. They also get sick, encounter accidents, and die of relatives. When such force majeure occurs, the editorial department will choose to stop the serialization of the work and let the work be closed.

This is a very common thing, but

"Will that teacher Higashino be closed?" Kazuka Akasaka also showed an incredible expression.

Higashinoji, who has never been released since his debut, has he voluntarily closed this time?

What's wrong? Could it be that I was in a car accident? Or was my hand broken? Otherwise, Higashinoji would not have been able to close the publication.

He flipped over the "Aversion of Chill" in his hand and had many thoughts in an instant, but in the end he shook his head helplessly and read "Aversion of Chill" in his hand again.

To be honest, without "The Unnatural Death", "The Chill" is just an ordinary magazine. In addition to "The Island of the Wild Evil" by Akisa Kuromiya, the storytelling level of other authors is significantly worse.

This made Kazuya Akasaka put down "The Cold" after only watching "The Island of Evil", feeling a bit boring and a pity to abandon it.

This is not to say that the quality of the comic author in "Aversion to Cold" is not good, but you go to a high-end restaurant with the feeling of eating delicacies. But when you arrive at the place, you find that the other party has only served you a few home-cooked side dishes. The difference is simply too big.

But in other words, Kazuka Akasaka also got the opportunity to criticize "The Cold" for "Unnatural Death", and he basically didn't speak much.

And now without "Unnatural Death", he certainly has to step on the "Child" in "The Unnatural Death".

The most important thing is that he was a little depressed in his heart. He didn't see "Unnatural Death", so of course he had to find a place to vent his anger.

Of course, he also wanted to ask friends in the industry if something happened to Higashinoji.

And those who are also depressed are Hiroshi Kamisaki who just got home from work and bought a copy of "The Cold".

He is a pure Higashinoji fan. He bought a large box around "Unnatural Death". The main reason for buying "Qizziness" is also for Higashinoji's works.

But today

"Unnatural Death is closed? What's the situation?"

Hiroki Kamizaki looked at the "Aversion to Chill" in his hand, and a hint of confusion appeared on his calm face.

In his impression, Higashinoji's resignation was a rare thing

But Hiroshi Kamisaki didn't care too much,

"Go and see what Urashima Publishing House said on the official website."

He got up and opened the computer beside him and found the official website of Urashima Publishing House.

Perhaps considering the readers' mood, the first announcement on the official website of Urashima Publishing House is about the reason why Higashinoji is up.

The general meaning is that Teacher Higashino just came back from a trip and didn’t have time to prepare for the latest episode of “Unnatural Death”. I can only make a very sorry decision here, that is, the publication will be closed this week.
