"The Incident of Kindaichi Boy" is the slowest drawn by Hirosawa Nakano among the four comics.

In order to create a dark and scary atmosphere, Kindaichi's Boy's Casebook uses a lot of shadows to depict both the characters and the background.

Many details of solving the crime are hidden in this dark background, so Higashino Hirosawa needs to be very careful in painting.

As a mystery comic, the amount of text is astonishing.

Higashino Hirosawa concentrated on painting until three o'clock in the middle of the night, and barely managed to draw the first hundred pages.

After finishing the same number of pages of Hunter Hunter and Slam Dunk, Higashino Hirosawa was still energetic. After finishing Kindaichi, he obviously felt tired.

"Go to sleep and continue tomorrow night."

Higashino Hirosawa yawned.

The manuscript for "The Chronicles of Kindaichi Boy" cannot be submitted just by drawing a hundred pages beforehand.

For mystery comics, you must submit a complete story, otherwise the magazine will not be able to judge the quality of the manuscript.

The first story in Kindaichi's Boy's Chronicle is nearly two hundred pages long!

Of course, this is because the story has just begun, and the manga spends quite a few pages introducing the protagonist Kindaichi and the heroine Miyuki.

Starting from the second story, the number of pages will become much more reasonable.

…

Early the next morning, after Higashino sent Chiwa-chan to kindergarten, he called Taiga's class teacher.

"Are you asking for leave again this morning?"

Upon hearing this, Taiga Kana's voice rose a few degrees.

"I ask for your forgiveness, Mr. Dahe, regarding work matters."

"Work? Higashino-kun, are you not in trouble? If so, please be sure to tell the teacher!"

Kana Ohga became alert and asked worriedly.

"No, Mr. Dahe, you are overthinking it. In fact, the comic I submitted to the magazine was adopted, and I went to the magazine to sign a contract. I could have done it yesterday afternoon, but something happened in the middle of the process, so I had to do it this morning

Go over and complete the signing."

Higashino Hirosawa thought for a while and said.

The source of the money needed to be explained, and he was going to use Teacher Dahe's mouth to let the news spread slowly.

"Are you drawing comics?"

Teacher Taiga was quite surprised.

"Yes. I heard others say that drawing comics can make money, and I thought it suited me very well, so I gave it a try. Unexpectedly, it was adopted right away."

"That's it, okay. I agree to the leave. However, Dongye, this is not a stable career. Don't delay your studies just because you draw comics. As long as you get admitted to one of those prestigious universities, your future will be smooth."

Knowing that this was a good thing for Higashino Hirosawa, Ohga Kana no longer objected.

However, she did not forget to persuade and remind Higashino Hirosawa.

There is nothing wrong with Kana Ohga's statement.

In Japan, diplomas and connections from prestigious universities are very powerful.

After graduating from a prestigious university and joining a club, your starting point may be someone else's ending point.

"I know, Teacher Dahe."

"It's good to know, and be careful on the road."

…

Yesterday, when Higashino Hirosawa met with the editors of Weekly Shōnen Jump and Hot-Blooded Shōnen Weekly, he was wearing clothes from Sakurajo High School.

Today Higashino Hirosawa specially put on the sportswear and sneakers he bought last night, and tried his best to look more mature.

He also prepared another set of clothes. When he was going to meet the editors of Weekly Shonen Magazine and Weekly Shonen Sunday, he would wear different clothes and dress up differently.

The editors of the two magazines were surprised to see that Higashino Hirosawa was not the famous cartoonist they imagined.

But after Higashino Hirosawa proved that the comics were all drawn by him, both magazines readily signed the contract.

They are more willing to meet young and talented comic book authors.

The only pity is that Higashino Hirosawa refused to sign an exclusive clause with them, which made them a little regretful.

After signing contracts with two magazines one after another, Higashino Hirosawa feels a lot more relieved.

The reactions from several magazines confirmed a guess made by Higashino Hirosawa.

A seal is required to sign a contract, so Higashino Hirosawa used his real name when signing contracts.

Higashino Hirosawa was worried about whether he would be recognized as the Higashino Hirosawa, and then the magazine had concerns and did not dare to sign him.

But things didn't turn out that way.

No one from the three comic magazines, Hot-blooded Shonen Weekly, Weekly Shonen Magazine and Weekly Shonen Sunday, noticed anything wrong with the name Higashino Hirosawa.

Higashino Hirosawa understood the reason after just thinking about it for a moment.

Most of the Internet in Japan is used by young people. The older people are, the less they like to use the Internet.

Like in the world before he traveled, floppy disks had long been eliminated in China, and the younger generation didn't even know what they were.

In Japan, it is still used in many places, especially banks and government agencies, to store and transfer data, often using floppy disks.

This kind of outdated thing will still exist and have a big sense of existence, just because those old people in power only recognize floppy disks and refuse to learn new tools.

I don’t know if the situation in this world will be equally outrageous, but it is true that the older you get, the less you like to use the Internet.

Moreover, most of the adults who enter the society are busy with work. Even if they surf the Internet, it is mostly for work or entertainment.

As for the news on the Internet, even if they have seen it, it has nothing to do with them and they will forget it soon.

Adults who are busy with work and family every day, who would remember what happened on the Internet more than half a year ago?

There is another very important point.

There is no regularity in Japanese names, and Japanese characters are composed of a mixture of hiragana, katakana and kanji, which makes them complicated and hard to remember.

If you don't remember and write a person's name deliberately, even if you read it half a year ago, you will probably forget it half a year later.

Only teenagers and students who don't study very much can remember something interesting for a long time after encountering it on the Internet.

When he signed a contract with Hot-Blooded Shōnen Weekly yesterday, the editor at the magazine had no reaction to the name. Higashino Hirosawa wondered whether this might be the case.

The same reaction from the editors of Weekly Shōnen Magazine and Sunday confirmed what Higashino Hirosawa thought.

This is naturally a good thing, indicating that the rumors are not as serious as Higashino Hirosawa imagined.

However, the matter was originally just a rumor, and no official news media was involved.

Higashino Hirosawa himself, who was caught in the whirlpool, was greatly affected. For ordinary people who had nothing to do with them, these rumors were just talk after dinner. After the matter was over, most people would quickly forget about it.

…

The signing went smoothly in the morning, and Higashino Hirosawa was able to have lunch in the cafeteria when he rushed back to school.

"Dongye, what did you do? You asked for leave for two days in a row!"

Kinoshita Hideki was as exaggerated as ever. He asked for leave for one afternoon and one morning, but he actually said it was two days.

However, except for Kinoshita Hideki, other students did not care about Higashino Hirosawa's absence.

When they were in the first year of high school, they were scattered in various ordinary classes. It would be strange if everyone in the class was present on any day. There were always one or two missing every day.

They have long been accustomed to the absence of class members.

"It's nothing, there's just something going on at home."

Just let the adults know about drawing comics. Higashino Hirosawa didn’t intend to spread the word among his classmates to avoid being watched.

"That's it. Forget it, let's change clothes and go to physical education class!"

Kinoshita Hideki did not ask further questions, but instead spoke with great interest.

On Thursday afternoon, there is physical education class, or two periods together.

In the first period of these two physical education classes, the physical education teacher will conduct some sports training.

After training, the rest of the time is basically free to move around.

It is said to be free activities, but it actually allows students to participate in their own elective sports events.

Basketball, football, badminton, baseball, etc., as well as dance, gymnastics, swimming and other indoor sports.

There are so many projects, so few people can't gather enough people, so on Thursday afternoon, the entire second grade students have physical education class.

The whole grade takes physical education class together, which is naturally very lively.

However, this is due to the small number of people in Sakura City High School. In the entire second year of high school, there are only more than 200 people.

If it's a school with a lot of people, this won't happen.

Despite this, the physical education class on Thursday afternoon is still very popular and looked forward to by students.
