In fact, it is definitely very difficult for a comic to achieve the popularity of "The Winner is Justice" in a short period of time.

Because this is the first episode, Komemon Kensuke’s story has just begun.

But the problem is that Higashino Tsukasa was already famous even before he painted "The Winner is Right" - as a high school student, he designed the popular mascot Kumamon and drew national horror comics such as "The Ring"

, "The Lonely Gourmet" is also widely known in the monthly magazine as a comfort for office workers in many societies...

The popularity of "The Winner Is Justified" is not only due to its excellent quality, but also partly due to Higashinoji's own popularity.

In addition, Urashima Publishing House's overwhelming publicity - trams and subways are covered with posters of "The Winner is Justice" carefully drawn by Higashino Tsukasa.

The combination of various factors has created this hot trend of being out of the industry. Even some people in the lawyer industry are vaguely paying attention to this cartoon that introduces the lawyer industry.

Of course, it was just a simple concern at the beginning. After all, it is basically difficult for a cartoonist to interact with people in the legal field like them.

When he learned about the attention, Higashinoji was a little surprised at first.

After all, even he never thought that such a thing would happen.

You know, this is the first episode.

The really controversial points haven’t come out yet.

"The Winner Is Justice" enters the second episode, and the truth about the court, justice and murderers is revealed.

The first episode is at best an appetizer.

But even the appetizer can gain such popularity... This undoubtedly encouraged Higashinoji. He was originally thinking about whether he needed to put the most exciting showdown in the first few chapters in advance, but now it seems that there is no need.

After all, although "The Winner is Right" is considered a unit drama, if the plot from the back is forced to be moved to the front, it will definitely have an impact on the character images of the male protagonist Kensuke Komimon and the heroine Machiko Dai.

Higashinoji gained confidence, so he gave up the idea and decided to continue drawing according to the original manga outline.

Then... another seven days passed.

The second episode of "The Winner Is Justice" was published.

And the discussion sparked this time is even greater than the previous episode!

If the first episode of "The Winner Is Justice" is like dropping a bomb into a pool of stagnant water, then the second episode is equivalent to dropping a missile into the stagnant water!

After seeing Kensuke Komemon find a park cafeteria employee and use language to induce him to testify in court in order to win the lawsuit, there was widespread discussion among many young people in society.

Because the male protagonist Kensuke Komemon doing this kind of thing is not what the male protagonist should do at all.

Strictly speaking, this is perjury!

Is this what justice looks like?

Can the law recognize such false testimony?

Is this something a lawyer can do?

Many people have raised such questions.

In their young minds, the court is a place where truth, justice and truth are told.

However, as a lawyer, Gu Meimen Kensuke did not follow these rules at all, and depicted the very realistic situation of court confrontation in a very down-to-earth and funny manner.

It's like fighting in the mud. I throw mud balls at you and you smear mud on me.

But when they looked behind, they discovered that the lawyers and prosecutors Gu Meimen fought against were actually even more sinister than Gu Meimen - not only giving false testimony, but also giving false evidence.

They were speechless.

How could this happen? Can the world get better? The court actually admitted false testimony and evidence?

This too realistic scene was displayed in front of everyone, which made it difficult for many young people who yearned for justice and law to accept it.

But these are not the most classic.

At the end of the comic story, Machiko Dai and Kensuke Komemon finally defeated the hostile prosecutor and rescued Tsubokura, who was suspected of murder.

The time was probably in the afternoon, when the sun was just about to come out——

After going through all kinds of hardships and finally winning the lawsuit, the heroine Machiko Dai stood outside the police station and welcomed Tsubokura back. She felt that she had upheld her own justice.

"Congratulations, Mr. Tsubokura."

Machiko Dai firmly held the young man's hand, Tsubokura, with a smile on her face: "I have always believed that you did not kill anyone! You are innocent!"

"Thank you, thank you, Teacher Dai." Tsubokura also seemed very excited. He didn't have to spend ten years in prison, so he was naturally especially grateful to Machiko Dai.

But in the middle of thanking him, Tsubokura's eyes stopped and he looked in a certain direction.

Dai Machiko obviously also noticed the other party's gaze. She also stopped talking politely and turned to look where Tsubokura's eyes were.

There, stood a police officer with an unkind face and a crew cut - it was this police officer with a crew cut who insulted Tsubokura and even resorted to beating him to force Tsubokura to confess.

At this time, Officer Pintou stood on the spot, his eyes staring at Tsubokura. His sinister gaze was too piercing, as if he was saying to Tsubokura, 'I will definitely not let you escape next time.'

Feeling the police officer's gaze, Tsubokura's eyes suddenly shot out with a malicious look. He muttered in a vicious and vicious tone: "What? That kind of look...I'll kill you next."

..."

This turn of events caused Dai Machiko, who had won the lawsuit and helped Tsubokura to escape guilt, to be stunned for a moment. She looked at Tsubokura in front of her with a stunned expression.

Because Tsubokura's hateful look just now made her feel cold in her heart... as if he was really a murderer.

And because of this daze, she didn't have time to respond to Tsubokura's thanks and farewells.

She looked at Tsubokura, confused in her heart... The justice she insisted on, the truth she found... was it the truth?

Tsubokura... is he a murderer?

At this moment, Komemon Kensuke's annoying cadence of voice came, but this time, the other party seemed to see through her thoughts: "Are you scared? Are you worried that you are releasing a murderer into the wild?

, helped the criminal escape his sentence?"

These continuous questions made Machiko Dai suddenly speechless. She held it in for a long time before she expressed her question: "Lawyer Gu Meimen...do you think he is a murderer?"

Machiko Dai was really confused, and she felt pressure on her again.

What if Tsubokura is really a murderer?

She was eager to get answers from Kensuke Komemon.

But Gu Meimen Yansuke didn't hesitate at all and answered simply: "It doesn't matter if it is."

His expression was very calm, without even the slightest fluctuation.

"Huh?" Machiko Dai was stunned.

"Whether he committed murder or not, it has nothing to do with me. I have no interest at all. The prosecutor's office did not have enough evidence, so he was acquitted. This is the law. The law only talks about evidence."

Kensuke Komemon stretched himself, turned around and wanted to leave.

But before he had taken a few steps, Machiko Dai's voice had already caught up with him.

"But where is the truth?"

She is still unwilling to give up the truth or her own justice.

but--

"Don't be too narcissistic. We are not gods, just simple lawyers."

Kensuke Komemon's final turn looked crisp and handsome.

The reversal at the end is quick and reasonable. It recycles all the foreshadowing and at the same time raises the topic.

Most of the issues revolve around justice and law.

Is reality really like "The Winner Is Justice" described by Higashino Tsukasa?

Many media even visited many professional lawyers to specifically inquire about the last scene in Higashinoji's comic "The Winner is Justice".

And Goro Misawa was one of the people interviewed.

Facing the camera, he gave his explanation very simply:

"Although Mr. Higashino's interpretation of law and justice in the comic "The Winner Is Justice" is a little extreme... But considering the actual situation, this is how it is in reality. There is insufficient evidence, so a conviction cannot be made. The law only

Talking about evidence has nothing to do with things like truth and justice. As long as there is enough evidence to prove innocence, Tsubokura can be acquitted even if he is really a murderer. This is the law."

The professional lawyer's answer naturally sparked another discussion among Higashino readers.

This time it's no longer about the comic "The Winner Is Justice".

They were then surprised by Higashinoji's professionalism.

As we all know, Higashinoji is just a high school student. Where did he know this common sense?

Moreover, "Midnight Ring" has just been completed. How did he come up with such an outstanding comic? He didn't even have enough preparation time, right?

What a genius!

Of course, there are some people here who don’t quite admit that Higashinoji’s comic “The Winner is Justice” was a temporary work.

Higashinoji must have been sharpening his skills for a long time.

Discussions like this quickly reached the ears of Urashima Publishing House. How could they bear it?

Higashinoji is now a signature author.

So Urashima Publishing House held a press conference that day. Higashinoji had other things to do, so he didn't attend. Naturally, his replacement was Hosokawa Koharu, the editor-in-chief of Higashinoji's comics.

To be honest, when she received the news, Hosokawa Koharu was drinking water. She sprayed it all over the table with a pop, and her face was even more confused.

No...what did you say? I attended a press conference to explain Mr. Higashino's creation?

In this way, she came to the press conference inexplicably, and then accepted the interview with a confused look on her face.

What do you want to ask me?

I don't know anything?

Wouldn't it be better to smile at this time?

With this inexplicable mood, Hosokawa Koharu bravely accepted the interview.

Naturally, Higashinoji saw this interview with Higashino Chihaya at home.

"Isn't this Xiaochun? Why is she surrounded by so many people? Is Xiaochun actually famous?!"

Looking at Hosokawa Koharu on the TV screen, Higashino Chihaya showed a surprised expression.

Before Higashinoji could answer, a reporter's question came from the TV: "Editor Hosokawa, what do you think of the rumors outside that 'Teacher Higashino has actually been preparing for several months for his new work'?"

"Even if you tell me how you look at it...it only took two weeks from the time Higashino-sensei told me the storyboards of the draft to the time the original manuscript came out."

"That means we can't rule out the possibility that Mr. Higashino actually prepared it in advance, right? After all, it's such an outstanding work... Maybe there are seven or eight manga assistants who helped draw the background?"

A reporter next to me asked again.

"Huh? I didn't say that...and Mr. Higashino didn't hire so many comic assistants. He drew alone, from the background to the characters to the plot lines."

Hosokawa Koharu frowned.

And after she said this, many people exclaimed.

Not hiring a comic assistant?

This is almost impossible for comics authors who are serializing.

Professional cartoonists basically hire two to three cartoon assistants.

If the work is popular, five to six, or even seven to eight comic assistants will be hired.

An author like Higashino Tsukasa, whose works are all popular and selling well, actually paints alone?

What is this concept?

In the past, some people called Higashinoji the light of the industry... but now I feel like it has changed.

Can be replaced by a Tono printer.

However, many people didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it must have been made up by Hosokawa Koharu.

Is there anyone who is really a printer? Who doesn’t even want a comic assistant?

That is to say, under this situation, Hosokawa Koharu didn't waste any time and directly posted the personnel employment form for "Abominable Chill".

"This is the list of personnel employment for "Cold". You can see that whether it is "Midnight Ring", "Lonely Gourmet" or now "The Winner is Justice", Mr. Higashino has no requirements

By hiring comic assistants.”

Hosokawa Koharu originally didn't want to post this form, but it was a matter of Tonoji's reputation, so she couldn't hesitate.

As soon as this highly credible form was posted, many reporters were excited.

This is another big revelation...

Their concern has never been whether Tonoji hired a comic assistant.

All they care about is whether there is big news to report.

Not to mention that the Internet has gone crazy, but as long as you enter the comics-related section, you can clearly see the topics about Higashino Tsukasa.

You must know that there are basically no comics authors who don’t need comic assistants!

Even Shumotofuji was busy drawing draft scripts for the animation when the animation was being serialized, and had no time to draw the background, so he hired a manga assistant.

Higashinoji not only has to take care of his studies, but also draws comics, and has also achieved considerable results in oil paintings.

Is this still a human being?

As a result, the Japanese, who were full of chuunii, began to give Higashinoji nicknames one by one.

What about 'higher-dimensional creatures', 'Higashino Printer', 'Magic Hand of Painting'...

Anyway, all kinds of gadgets were put on Higashinoji's head.

Among them, the most widely spread is probably the nickname Higashino Printer.

This is because when a well-known manga author heard about Higashinoji’s situation, he posted a picture he drew on his personal website——

A Q-version character's mouth is open like a printer's square, and he keeps spitting out originals...

This picture is widely circulated on the Internet.

The name of Higashino Printer is also spread everywhere.

Under this situation, it seems that someone who lives near Higashinoji's apartment silently posted a few photos on the forum.

It’s exactly the environment near Higashinoya!
