Chapter 005 Three Major Publishing Houses

In 2003, Japan had already seen the widespread adoption of mobile phones, specifically those oval-shaped models that appeared quite old-fashioned and bulky, particularly the flip phones.

Takahashi's choice remains with one of the three major publishing houses, Urashima Publishing.

Excuse me, may I ask if this is Teacher Higashino?

To get back to the point

In his heart, Tsuji Hiroshi was thinking while glancing at Tsuji Chihaya, who was sitting opposite him

There are no Shueisha, no Kodansha, and certainly no Shogakukan here

Ultimately, the "Big Three" publishing houses were not among the most profitable in Japan during Higashino Keigo's previous life; at most, they were well-known within the "manga" industry.

I am the author of "The Ring" Koji Suzuki, may I ask if you are an editor at Urashima Publishing?

Most of the calls made to this number for Higashino's family are from salespeople promoting newspapers or health products

Among them, Yanjiao Publishing House can be seen as a conglomerate of Shueisha, Kodansha, and Shogakukan, focusing on popular genres such as mystery and action that are well-received by young audiences. Mozhu Bookstore, on the other hand, tends to publish science fiction and romantic-themed shoujo manga.

The renowned "Ring" has made its mark, dominating the box office in Japan upon its release, surpassing all other films released at the same time.

"Hmm, I understand." Higashino Chihaya reached out to drive away Higashino Tsukasa: "Asa, hurry and go to school! I will take good care of this home."

At this moment, Higashiya Chihaya was fiddling with her phone, tapping away at the Snake game.

Chihaya Higashiya and Tsukasa Higashiya originally each had a mobile phone for the purpose of communicating with each other

I am Hosokawa Koharu, an editor of the manga weekly "Ehan" belonging to Urashima Publishing. May I ask if this is Teacher Higashino

Teacher Higashino

Japan has always been a society based on personal relationships; unless one is truly inseparable from a close friend, acquaintances are generally just that

But that is merely a sign

This is what is known as the brand effect

However, Chihaya Dongye's mobile phone was accidentally broken by her and has not been taken for repair. Therefore, Tsukasa Dongye gave his mobile phone to Chihaya Dongye for use, which still contained the phone number of his homeroom teacher

Ding ding ding—

At present, they are merely holding on by a thread, with all resources directed towards forcefully promoting a horror comic titled "Between Puppets," hoping to elevate it as a pillar of support.

As for whether Higashino Keigo has confidence in his work "The Ring of Midnight" ... ... ?

Otherwise, it is truly worrisome to leave her alone at home

As she spoke, she nodded vigorously, as if trying to bolster her own courage

It is indeed about time to leave

After all, the qualifications of the three major publishing houses of the Puzhou Island Publishing House are well-established, and there are numerous publishing resources and channels available. The Puzhou Island Publishing House is undoubtedly a guaranteed profit.

Takahashi Hiroshi reached out to answer the phone and asked, "Who is this?"

However, the recent days have not been easy for Puxiang Publishing House. Their flagship comic series "The Reflected Figures in the Camera" has just concluded, and coinciding with the current winter period for comic scripts, they have no high-quality horror comics to showcase.

However, as a precaution, Higashino checked the locks on the doors and windows once more. After finding no issues, he turned and walked to the entrance.

Moreover, it has been two to three days since the submission deadline... The publisher, Urashima, should be providing updates soon...

Has the result finally come out for the submission of "The Ring" a few days ago

This will inevitably affect the influence of comic magazines

Editor of Urashima Publishing House

This publishing house primarily focuses on mystery, reasoning, and horror genre comics

Recently, a publishing house named Fujii Publishing has emerged as a formidable contender, showing signs of sharing a corner in the manga magazine market with the 'Big Three'...

However, it is evident to discerning individuals that the quality of this work, "Between Puppets," does not meet the standards of a mainstay; the quality can only be described as acceptable

If Higashino Chihaya could call him whenever there was something going on

For example, in a previous life, Shogakukan in Japan primarily generated profits by publishing educational books for elementary school students, with manga publishing being just one of the channels for profit generation

In the past, the old friends of Dongye's parents seemed to have evaporated from the world; apart from showing up at the funeral, they were never seen again.

Thus, it is only natural that there would be no hot-blooded youth manga magazine "Shonen Jump"

A young woman's voice came through on the other end of the phone

One could almost say that in this village in Japan, one can roam around wielding a knife and killing at will, completely unable to find a worthy opponent

At this moment, the telephone on the shoe cabinet by the door rang.

This is because it is impossible for Japanese publishing houses to sustain their entire operations solely through the publication of comic magazines. In order to achieve greater profits, the three major comic publishers not only publish comic magazines but also release other types of publications.

When mentioning "One Piece," "Naruto," and "Dragon Ball," people often think of Shueisha, which in turn leads to the association with the magazine "Jump." However, what would happen if these pillar comics were to be lost

Since the Higashino family fell into misfortune, there have been few phone calls willing to come in

This is also the bottom line for Higashino Keigo

Tsuji Higashiya finished eating everything and greeted.

The weekly magazine "Evil Chill" and the monthly magazine "Forbidden Space" under its banner are renowned horror manga publications in Japan

Hmm

Unfortunately, this world is a parallel world

It is possible that Higashino Keigo could use "Ring" to push down the current pillar of Urashima Publishing, the manga "Between Puppets"

In the previous life of Higashino Keigo, the most renowned Japanese publishing houses in the Celestial Empire were perhaps Shueisha, Kodansha, and Shogakukan, collectively referred to as the 'Big Three of Manga'.

However, even so, a dead camel is still larger than a horse, and Urashima Publishing remains one of the three major comic publishers, without a doubt

I am an editor at Urashima Publishing House. I am contacting you regarding the specific matters related to "The Ring".

Then I am going to school, Chizuru, you must stay at home well

He retorted.

In this parallel world of Higashino Keigo, the three publishing houses that replace the status of the 'Big Three' are Iwakaku Publishing, Mozhu Bookstore, and Urashima Publishing.

The last publisher, Urashima Publishing, is the one to which Higashino Keigo submitted "The Ring" a few days ago

As for why Shueisha, Kodansha, and Shogakukan are specifically referred to as the 'Big Three' of magazines in the 'manga' category

With a budget of 120,000 US dollars, it achieved a global box office of 8.69 million pounds, ranking first in the Japanese domestic box office

After a while, a voice came from the other end of the phone

The spirit of Higashino Keigo is invigorated

This is somewhat of a joke. He certainly has confidence

Consequently, the overall sales of the comic magazines under Urashima Publishing House are also declining.

She played with great seriousness, her body swaying back and forth in accordance with the movements of the snake on the screen
