The most famous Japanese publishers in Higashinoji's previous life might be Shueisha, Kotanshe, and Primary School Pavilion, which are called the "Three Major Comics Clubs".

As for why Shueisha and Kotanshe, Primary School Pavilion is only referred to as the "three major clubs" of magazines of "comics"?

This is because it is impossible for Japanese publishers to rely solely on a single "comic magazine publishing" to maintain the operation of the entire publisher. In order to obtain more profits, the "three major comics" will not only publish comic magazines, but also publish other types of books.

For example, in the primary school museum in Japan in his previous life, this publishing house mainly used the publication of primary school education books to make profits. Comic publishing can only be said to be a channel for profits.

After all, the "three major clubs" were not considered the most profitable publishing houses in Japan in Higashinoji's previous life. At most, they are famous in the "comics" industry.

Unfortunately, this world is a parallel world.

There is no Shueisha, no Katanshe, and no elementary school museum here.

So for granted, there is no hot-blooded boy comic book weekly "Boy Jump".

Get back to the point.

In the parallel world of Higashinoji, the three publishers that replaced the status of these "three major societies" are Iwakao Publishing House, Mochi Bookstore, and Urashima Publishing House.

Among them, Iwakatsu Publishing House can be regarded as a collection of Shueisha, Kotanshe, and Primary School Museum, and is a popular youth comic that focuses on reasoning and passionate blood. Moji Bookstore prefers to publish science fiction and girl comics that talk about love.

And the last Urashima Publishing House - this is the publishing house where Higashinoji submitted "Midnight Bell" a few days ago.

This publisher mainly targets suspense and horror comics.

Its magazine weekly "Aversion to Chill" and monthly "Not to Enter Space" are famous horror comics in Japan.

However, Urajima Publishing House has not had a good time recently. Their stylus comic "The Man Reflected in the Camera" series has just been completed recently, and it is also in the cold winter of comic scripts, so there is no high-quality horror comic that can be shown at all.

Now they just breathed a sigh of relief, and all their resources were tilted, and they forced a horror comic called "Between the Dolls" to make it a pillar.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the quality of this "Between the Dolls" is not as good as the pillar standards, and the quality can only be said to be fair.

Therefore, the overall sales of comic magazines under Urajima Publishing House are also declining.

This is called brand effect.

When it comes to "One Piece", "Naruto", and "Dragon Ball", some people think of Shueisha, and thus the weekly magazine "jump", but if they lose these pillar comics...?

This will inevitably affect the influence of comics and magazines.

But even so, the lean camel is bigger than the horse. Urajima Publishing House is still one of the three major comics publishing houses, and there is no doubt about this.

But recently, a Fuji Publishing House has risen, and there are signs of being divided into a corner with the "three major clubs" in comic magazines...

But that's just a sign.

Higashinoji's choice is still Urashima Publishing House, one of the three major publishers.

After all, the qualifications of the three major Urashima Publishing House are there, and there are many publishing resources and channels. Touwashima Publishing House is definitely a sure profit and loss.

As for Higashinoji's opponent, "Midnight Bell" is confident...?

This is a bit of a joke. Of course he has confidence.

"Midnight Bell" is famous there, and when it was released in Japan, it even beat all the movies of the same period.

With a budget of US$120,000, it won the global box office of 8.69 million pounds, making it the best in Japan's local box office...

It can be said that he was killing everywhere in a village in Japan with a knife in his hand, and he could not find any opponents he could beat.

Maybe Higashinoji can still use "Midnight Bell" to squeeze out Urashima Publishing House's current Taizhu comic "Between the Dolls"?

And it has been two or three days since the submission time... Urashima Publishing House should also be informed...

While thinking in his heart, Higashinoji looked at Higashino Chihaya sitting opposite him.

At this time, Chihaya Higashino was pinching his phone, tinkering with the greedy snake game.

She played very seriously, and her body was tilted around with the movements of the greedy snake on the screen.

In Japan in 2003, mobile phones have long been popular, just like the oval body, which looks very old-fashioned and bulky flip phone.

Chihaki Higashino and Ji Higashino originally had a mobile phone to communicate with each other.

However, Chihara Higashino's mobile phone was broken by her and she had not used it for repair. So Chihara Higashino gave his mobile phone to Chihara Higashino, and his class teacher's phone number was also stored on it.

If Chiba Higashino had something to do, he would call him.

This is also Higashinoji's bottom line.

Otherwise, I would be really worried to leave her alone at home.

"Then I'm going to school, Sister Qianzai, you have to stay at home."

Higashinoji finished all the food and said hello.

"Well, I understand." Chihaki Higashino reached out to drive Higashinoji: "Ashe, go to school! I will protect this family."

As she said that, she nodded vigorously, as if she wanted to add some courage to herself.

But just in case, Higashinoji also checked the locks of the doors and windows, and then turned around and came to the entrance.

It's almost time to leave.

Ding Ding Ding--

At this time, the landline phone placed at the shoe cabinet next to the door rang out.

Um?

Higashinoji reached out to answer the phone and asked, "Who?"

Since the Higashino family fell into trouble, there has been no phone call.

In the past, the old friends of Higashino's parents were like evaporating from the world. Apart from showing their faces at the funeral, they never saw anyone again.

Japan has always been a human society. Unless it is really a close friend, it is probably the case with friends.

Most of the people who can continue to call Higashinoya are those who sell newspapers or health products around.

"Sorry, is it Teacher Higashino?"

The voices of young women came from the other end of the phone.

Teacher Higashino?

After a while, another sound came from the other side of the phone:

"I am Hosokawa Koharu, an editor of the comic weekly "Aversion to Cold", which belongs to Urashima Publishing House. Is it Mr. Higashino?"

Hosokawa Koharu?

Editor of Urajima Publishing House?

Higashinoji was excited.

Is the "Midnight Bell" submitted a few days ago finally coming to the end?

"I am Higashinoji, the author of "Midnight Bell". Is it the editor of Urashima Publishing House?"

He asked back.

"Well, I am the editor of Urajima Publishing House. I will contact you on the specific matters of "Midnight Bell" this time."
