What Hosokawa Koharu needed Higashinoji to complete was almost completed.

She also thought it was almost time to send Higashinoji away, but——

"What?! You still want to draw a new manga!?" Hosokawa Koharu was completely shocked.

No... The second episode of "Midnight Ring" has just begun, and you want to start a new comic?

Double opening?!

Hosokawa Koharu was a little dumbfounded.

There are indeed many authors in the comics industry who work dually, but that is based on their full-time work.

According to Hosokawa Koharu, Higashinoji is still a high school student!

As a high school student, being able to serialize a weekly magazine on "Cold" alone is already a monster and a genius.

In the end, Higashino still wants to double-open?

No...why do you, a high school student, have dual education? Do you have the time and energy?

Of course, Hosokawa Koharu couldn't say this directly, but she just felt that she should persuade Higashinoji to stop now. She didn't want to see Higashinoji suddenly die at home due to overwork.

The sudden death of a cartoonist... Although this is not a common topic in the industry, it has happened.

A considerable number of Japanese cartoonists died suddenly at home due to diseases such as acute heart failure. The reason was overwork.

Hosokawa Koharu choked on his throat, and after a while he said: "Teacher Higashino, do you mean you want to draw two works?"

"Yes." Higashino nodded.

"But I personally feel that, Mr. Higashino, you may not have enough energy and time." Hosokawa Koharu tried to speak tactfully.

At the same time, Hosokawa Koharu secretly glanced at Higashinoji.

Under her gaze, Higashinoji also nodded with understanding: "Well, indeed, according to what Editor Hosokawa said, my time may indeed be a bit unused..."

Hosokawa Koharu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to respond to Higashinoji when he heard him speak:

"But I already have ideas for new comics, so I don't think there's much of a problem."

"..." Hosokawa Koharu.

Why do you think it's not a big problem...? Is it possible that you can have an extra twenty-four hours in a day?

Hosokawa Koharu's scalp really felt numb.

She has never seen an author like Higashinoji.

When it comes to creation, there is no need for editors to worry about it, but outside of work... Hosokawa Koharu just feels like her heart is broken.

"Teacher Higashino, do you have any ideas for new comics? What type?" Hosokawa Koharu asked again.

Although it was unlikely that she would agree to Higashinoji, she felt that she still had to ask.

But it's probably still a horror comic. After all, Higashinoji can be shown here. No matter what horror comics he draws, with his precise and vivid painting skills, he can basically scare people to death.

It’s impossible to ask Higashinoji, a horror comic author, to draw food comics, right? That’s simply not possible.

"Well, I want to draw food comics." Higashino replied.

"Gourmet comics? Food comics... Food comics should probably pay attention to making the story more terrifying. After all, you already have "The Ring" in front of you..."

Hosokawa Koharu just followed Higashinoji's words, but halfway through, his voice stopped.

She showed an incredulous expression: "Wait a minute? Mr. Higashino, do you want to draw food comics?"

"Yes, I already have an idea." Higashinoji did not deny it.

Listening to Higashinoji's words, Hosokawa Koharu felt that his stomach was feeling vaguely sore.

No... Higashinoji is going to draw food comics?

A horror comic writer drawing food comics?

People die in every episode, and a horror comic author who relies on drawing blood and corpses to draw food comics draws food comics?

This jump is too big.

It's delicious in every sense of the word.

"I personally feel that Mr. Higashino, you are not very suitable for food comics."

Hosokawa Koharu reminded Higashinoji very tactfully.

This is not the conclusion she came to because she looked down on Higashinoji.

On the contrary, it was precisely because she looked up to Higashinoji too highly and understood how terrifying the young man in front of her could make a person's death look, that she came to this conclusion.

He is perfect for drawing horror comics.

And for such a person to announce that he will draw food comics... let’s not talk about whether fans can accept it.

What if Higashinoji fails to draw food comics?

"I thought about it, and I can do it. And isn't Urashima Publishing House going to launch a new monthly magazine recently? My comic will be serialized in the monthly magazine, so there will be time for it to be serialized at the same time."

Well--

Hosokawa Koharu obviously didn't expect Higashinoji to have thought so far.

Indeed, if Higashinoji's new manga is published in a new monthly magazine, it shouldn't be a big problem even if it is serialized at the same time.

But Hosokawa Koharu is still not optimistic about it.

It can be seen that Higashinoji's attitude is so determined... She can't help but feel relieved in her heart - what if Mr. Higashino is really good?

Thinking of this, Hosokawa Koharu made one last attempt to persuade:

"Every comic requires corresponding efforts. I can see that Mr. Higashino, you have put all your efforts and energy on "Midnight Ring". Although I am a new editor, I can still read it."

Come out."

Put all your efforts and energy into "The Ring"?

Hearing this, Higashinoji actually had something to say, and it was clear that Hosokawa Koharu had an expression on his face that said, "I am a professional editor, please trust me."

He hesitated for a while, then smiled and changed his words: "Then Editor Hosokawa must give me a chance to try? If it doesn't work, I won't force it."

Give it a chance to try...?

Hosokawa Koharu felt relieved.

Fortunately, Higashinoji didn't insist on his opinion and insisted on serializing some food comics.

Hosokawa Koharu is not very optimistic about Higashinoji's food comics. After all, in her eyes, one person cannot be omnipotent, and Higashinoji should be the same.

It’s impossible for him to become popular by drawing horror comics, and he can also become popular by drawing food comics.

But at the same time, Hosokawa Koharu felt that it was not impossible to give Higashinoji a chance and let Higashino try a new type of comics.

After all, comics are mostly based on analogies. After you have mastered one type and then draw a new one, you will always get different results.

and...

For some reason, Hosokawa Koharu actually still has confidence in Higashinoji.

Sensation told her that the young man in front of her seemed to be able to do it.

But reason is warning Hosokawa Koharu - this is impossible, how can someone really do everything?

"That's it, before the new monthly magazine is finalized, Mr. Higashino, please give me the food manga you want. I will check it for you first, and then submit it to the serialization meeting as appropriate. If it is passed, you will be allowed to publish it in the new magazine.

Serialized in the monthly magazine."
