Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 279 The Influence of the Copycat
The animation of "Death Note" started, and it won't be long before the battle between Ye Shenyue and L will be broadcast, but at this moment, someone wrote "DEATH NOTE" on the notebook and mailed it to Mr. A of the Juvenile Academy.

The host flipped through the notebook, on which Mr. A's name, Higashi Shinichiro, was densely written in red ink.

The real name of the juvenile crime should not have been revealed, but the reporters who rushed to report back then revealed that the murderer was named Shinichiro Higashi for the sake of traffic.

This curser has worked hard.

Now there are countless Higashi Shinichiro on the notebook, and the TV station can only code them and broadcast them, which makes the scarlet letters even more hideous.

"In this notebook, apart from Mr. A's name, it is also filled with the words "death" and "scum", which are curse letters.Considering that it would affect Mr. A's mental state, the Youth Court did not transfer it to him. "

"Actually, in a certain magazine, there was a plot in which the protagonist used "DEATH NOTE" to execute a large number of death-row criminals, which was very similar to Mr. A's experience. "

"We initially thought it was a mock curse for its readers."

The host held "Death Note" as the front page of the issue of Jump, and after typing, the words "DEATH NOTE" were revealed.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as that cursed notebook.

"Tori Akino-sensei!" Yoshida Koji suddenly turned his head and saw Higashino who was stunned, "It's not good!"

"No," he slapped his left cheek hard, "I'm the editor, I have to calm down now! Don't pass on the panic to the cartoonist!"

Higashino was amused. He pressed his hands and signaled Koji Yoshida to be quiet, "I decided to draw "Death Note" because of this."

"I just didn't expect it to come so soon..."

"Madhouse, I don't know if it will postpone...or cancel the animation production of "Death Note"?"

……

After this issue of news, several TV stations competed to report the imitators of "Death Note", causing a storm for a while.

A teacher of a certain elementary school was interviewed, "There is a trend among the students, they regard cursing other people's lives as a joke. This must be the influence of that cartoon!"

He pointed to the sky and the earth, and made a vow.

Some parents also said that their children were fascinated and watched this anti-human cartoon over and over again.

The bad thoughts of "Death Note" spread rapidly.

The number of complaint letters from parents and teachers multiplied by several times, and the calls of Jump's editorial department were constantly ringing, and normal business handling became a problem.

The Japan Manga Artists Association called Shueisha because of the "Death Note" incident, which had a negative impact on manga.

Shueisha executives began to apply pressure.

Fortunately, the head of the third editorial department directly under the upper echelon is Kazuhiko Torishima, so Sasaki can breathe a sigh of relief.

It was under such circumstances that Koji Yoshida was called into the conference room by Kazuhiko Torishima.

……

Yoshida Koji looked at Sasaki's face sinking like water, feeling uneasy.

"What the hell is it? It's not about suspending "Death Note"..."

The boundaries of Japanese comics are very high, and the government generally does not prevent the publication of works that do not cross borders.

But "Death Note" is a big mess, and there are indeed some problems in serializing works that will affect the thinking of adults in juvenile comics.

Unexpectedly, Sasaki asked: "Yoshida, how is Mr. Akino Tori? Has he been under any bad influence? How is his mentality?"

There was concern in Sasaki's voice.

Yoshida breathed a sigh of relief, and he replied: "Tori Akino-sensei didn't respond, he was still drawing manga."

Speaking of this, he was embarrassed, and the editor was more flustered than the cartoonist, it really shouldn't be.

"Well," Sasaki nodded thoughtfully, "That's good, but you also have to pay attention to the storyboard after "Death Note". Will Mr. Akino Bird restrain the spicy plot because of this? This is what you need to do most. "

"I understand." Yoshida Koji replied immediately. After hesitating for a moment, he still leaned forward and asked, "Chief editor, will this accident affect "Death Note"...animation production, and even serialization!"

"Don't think so," Sasaki's face darkened. Considering that Yoshida Koji was still a newcomer, he took back the scolding words and taught, "In front of Teacher Akino, it's as if nothing happened. This It's just a small thing, nothing to worry about. You know that?"

"Yes, I understand." Yoshida nodded.

Yoshida quickly brought Higashi Hibiki the response from the editorial department.

He discussed the plot with Higashi Higashino as usual, as if he wasn't the one who panicked that day.

Higashino Hibiki didn't bother, as if the incident just passed away.

……

Madhouse Corporation.

Maruyama Masao summarized the plot of "Death Note" in the past two weeks.

"Through the crisis of an addict and alcoholic, Ye Shenyue successfully obtained the name of the FBI Lei who followed him. In this plot, he used the female classmate who admired him, and used Rick, the God of Death. He also solved the problem in Japan through Lei. 12 fbi's investigating Kira."

"The Japanese police, fbi, and L's wings are constantly being eradicated by Yagami, and now it's L's turn to confront Yagami with his own hands."

"Yes." Masao Maruyama nodded with satisfaction, "The spicyness of "Death Note" has not been lost. These two words further reflect Yagami's high IQ and ruthlessness, and they are two words that do not lose the standard."

As the founder of Madhouse, he doesn't mind the public opinion of the outside world.

He has seen a lot in his life. Literary creation is such a thing. It is easy to be disturbed by the outside world, so he should just leave the animation circle.

Now he is only worried that Akino Akino will be affected in the future, and starts to be timid, which leads to a drastic change in the style of "Death Note".

At that time, the manga I recognized lacked the core, and it became tasteless.

"Maruyama-san doesn't know something," the subordinate on the side smiled and said, "Jump's manga will be drawn two weeks in advance to allow time for correction, printing, and laying. That is to say, these two words are drawn before public opinion." of."

"It is the following words that can really peek into the inner story of Bird Akino."

"That's right." Maruyama Masao nodded with a smile, "But I still want to believe him. After all, he is the author of "Hey—Come Out!" and "Millennium Actress."

"I really envy Teacher Akino, hahaha."

They were talking and laughing, when suddenly the secretary trotted in, "It's not good, Mr. Dashan, a political commentator, scolded "Death Note" on the Yomiuri Shimbun."

……

Hiroyuki Oyama, a famous Japanese political commentator, visiting professor at East Japan International University.

Wherever he appears, there are newspapers and periodicals related to international relations.

It has nothing to do with the field of comics, but now it is publicly criticizing "Death Note".

After receiving the newspaper, Maruyama Masao's face changed, "Duplicity!"
