Chapter 146. What crime did I commit?! (8000 words)(2/2)
But when the manuscript was actually placed in front of him, Editor-in-Chief Urashima was a little reluctant to open it and read it.
What should I do if I can’t beat him?
He was in this mood, and Hosokawa Koharu next to him was naturally in the same mood.
She is also a little worried about the transformation of Higashino Tsukasa's comic.
But when I looked at the draft storyboards before, there were no problems...
She worked hard to cheer up and took her manuscript to her desk for review.
But before he even took two steps, Hosokawa Koharu was stopped by editor-in-chief Urashima.
"Editor Hosokawa, please review the manuscript next to me."
"Why?"
"It just so happens that after reviewing the manuscript, it can be used as a communication." Editor-in-chief Urashima looked calm and relaxed, and he didn't seem nervous at all.
Feeling the indifference of Editor-in-Chief Urashima, even Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help but envy him for his good attitude. No wonder he became the editor-in-chief. This attitude alone is probably unmatched by most editors.
She followed Editor-in-Chief Urashima's instructions, pulled up a bench, and sat on the other side of the desk.
"Okay..." Editor-in-Chief Urashima thought that he finally had someone to share the stress with.
He put down the manuscript, then raised his hand and put it directly on the first page. He didn't even look at the cover and started reviewing it directly.
Then--
Bang!!!
The heavy judge's hammer hit the wooden pad, making a crisp sound.
"The trial stated that the defendant was sentenced to ten years in prison, and the 100 days before the verdict was also retained in the sentence."
"Ah?" Editor-in-chief Urashima looked at the handcuffs on his hands in confusion, then looked at the surrounding scene, and opened his mouth.
no--
Is the defendant talking about me?
Ten years in prison?!
He had a puzzled look on his face.
No...how did I become a criminal? And you have to imprison me for ten years?
I was wrongly accused, right? What crime did I commit? Should I be imprisoned for ten years?
Shocking facts, confusion, surprise, and incomprehension were all expressions on Editor-in-Chief Urashima's face.
"Mr. Tsubokura!"
Tsubokura...?The name is...?
Editor-in-chief Urashima looked in the direction of the lawyer's seat in astonishment.
There was Machiko Dai looking at her with concern.
Machiko Dai?!
Isn't this the character in Higashino-sensei's manga? How come it is so vivid.
Editor-in-chief Urashima struggled to walk towards her, but his body gave out inexplicably, causing him to fall directly to the ground.
The world is spinning...
"Well."
Editor-in-chief Urashima came to his senses and looked at the contents of the first page of the comic with surprise on his face.
Above is the defendant Tsubokura, who was so exhausted that he couldn't even stand upright after being sentenced to ten years in prison for murder.
"Have I substituted myself into a character in a comic?"
Editor-in-chief Urashima only thought for a few seconds and came up with this answer.
In the moment just now, I felt like the two-dimensional plane and myself were directly reversed.
It was as if he had really become Tsubokura.
This is really an indescribable novel experience!
interesting!
Really interesting!
He just wanted to turn to the next page.
The next plot is almost the same as the previous draft storyboard by Higashinoji.
Machiko Dai met the male protagonist Kensuke Komemon in the car, and then listened to him talk a lot of fallacies.
But what’s different from the draft storyboard is——
Editor-in-chief Urashima felt as if he had become Machiko Dai, full of indignation, and angrily protested against Kensuke Kumimon's behavior.
Then...
The other party used harsh words to make her fall into disgrace.
"This Gumeimen Research Institute really has a big problem!" Editor-in-chief Urashima was furious when he felt that he was being sprayed badly by the other party, but the other party happened to be a character in the comics. He even wanted to drag him out and beat him up.
no.
He couldn't suppress the throbbing in his heart and continued to look down.
Yes.
Even though he was suppressed by Komemon Kensuke, he still couldn't control his hands and looked down!
This comic seemed to have a magical charm! An indescribable and unknown sense of novel experience surged in his heart, making him unable to control his hands at all and wanting to continue reading.
When he saw Machiko Dai and Ken Komemon helping to overturn the case in various ways, the unexplainable feeling in his heart instantly turned into a sense of pleasure.
Because the one who was overturned was the editor-in-chief Urashima himself.
He still remembers the feeling of having his hands shackled just now, and also remembers the deep feeling of powerlessness when he was sentenced to a fixed-term prison sentence.
But now... as the lawsuit gets better step by step, his mood becomes active again.
Even the smiling face of Kensuke Komemon felt particularly approachable to him, and he wanted to kiss her hard.
Finally, with the help of Gu Meimen Yansuke, things completely turned around.
Unable to withstand the pressure from all walks of life, the court finally dismissed the case and announced a new trial.
"pretty!"
Editor-in-chief Urashima couldn't help but clenched his fists and shouted.
In the manga, Machiko Dai's empathic joy also infected him.
He completely finished flipping through the manga, and then looked at Hosokawa Koharu, who had also just finished flipping through the manga.
The two of them nodded tacitly.
If I were to say that I was still a little unsure just now.
So now, that feeling of unconfidence has completely disappeared!
Because Higashinoji's "The Winner Is Justice"...
It’s simply not very pretty!
The previous "Midnight Ring" was also criticized for being too realistic and not as exaggerated as comics.
But this time "The Winner is Right" is completely different.
It's more than just realistic.
There are also very exaggerated comic techniques in it.
Especially when there was a lightning strike at the opening of the comic manuscript on the first page, he immediately and inexplicably became a criminal.
I was really caught off guard——
Before reading the manga, Editor-in-Chief Urashima was thinking about how to fight with Fuji Publishing.
After reading the manga, Editor-in-Chief Urashima was thinking about how Urashima Publishing House could fight with them.
