"Death Note has been over for so long, and he finally couldn't stay idle anymore. That's great."

A smile played on Shancun's lips; he couldn't contain his joy.

“But Mr. Yamamura…” Yusuke Murata pointed at him, “Mr. Akino Tori is back, and you’ll be under his wing again.”

Upon hearing this, Shancun's expression froze.

"Death... When Death Note was being serialized, our manga had already surpassed it, hadn't it..."

He spoke haltingly, his expression revealing guilt, which was not convincing at all.

“There was a period of time,” Murata nodded, “but then, when Death Note gained momentum, it left us behind.”

"Currently, the average sales of the single volumes of 'Blind Soccer' are only around 70, while 'Death Note' has reached 335 million. This is a world of difference."

"We are far behind."

Yusuke Murata pointed this out without reservation.

The village chief has no choice but to face the reality.

“You’re right, we need to work even harder. Murata-kun, your drawing skills are getting better and better, and I must also come up with a wonderful story to match your excellent drawing skills.”

……

"Tori Akino-sensei is here to take over our living space again," Kishimoto Masashi said with a smile and a shake of his head.

Even now, Naruto hasn't achieved the same level of success as Death Note.

He saw on TV that the movie version of "Death Note" would be released in two days.

Death Note has been adapted into an anime and a movie, and I heard that a TV series version is also in the works.

This comic began to be more widely known to the public.

This also proves that countless people approve of the plot of "Death Note".

This is something that action-packed manga can't achieve.

Naruto and One Piece are currently confined to the realm of anime, comics, and games (ACG), but Death Note has opened up a new avenue.

If Akino Toriyama's new work is like Death Note, then Naruto will inevitably drop a place in the rankings.

However, the current Masashi Kishimoto, having been honed by the Chunin Exams arc, is no longer as naive as before, and he is full of confidence in himself.

"Come on! I can't wait."

……

Today, Hibiki Higashino put on his coat and accompanied Akemi Akemi Akimiya as they drove out.

The child was entrusted to his grandmother's house.

Higashino Shio said she wanted more of these kinds of things to happen.

In the future, she also said that her grandma's food is still the best, and she doesn't want her dad's food to appear anymore.

"Oh, this is Jian. Are you going?"

As soon as the car left the villa area, Higashino Hibiki saw the neighbor's child, Miyano Ken.

The child, with a happy smile, skipped and hopped forward.

It was still spring break, and the children didn't have to go to school, so Higashino Hibiki stopped and asked a question.

“I’m going to a friend’s house,” Ken Miyano said.

"Let me give you a ride."

"No need, his house is just ahead."

"OK then."

Hibiki Higashino closed the car window and drove towards the movie theater in Shinjuku.

"call."

As the vehicle drove away, Kenji Miyano breathed a sigh of relief.

He was going to the premiere of the movie "Death Note," a ticket he had managed to snag with great difficulty.

If the neighbors tell his parents about this, he'll be in big trouble.

So he refused Higashino Hibiki and went there by taxi.

"Soon, I'll be able to see Mr. Toriakino soon."

He heard that Teruakino Mirai would be attending the premiere, and he couldn't wait to go see it.

……

After Hibiki Higashino and Akemi Akemi parked their car, they walked towards the backstage area of ​​the cinema, surrounded by staff.

Akemi Akimiya noticed that many of the viewers of "Death Note" were underage children, and she became curious about this: "What is the rating for 'Death Note'?"

“G-rated,” director Shusuke Kaneko explained, “meaning it’s for the general public.”

Although Death Note is a dark manga, it does not contain any violent or bloody scenes.

"Thank you."

"fine."

……

The movie was about to start, and the audience was already full.

Shusuke Kaneko responded to the reporter's questions.

He said the film's plot was based on the comic book, and because the story itself was excellent, he rarely made any changes except for handling the intense conflicts required for the film.

Ken Miyano sat in the back row of the theater, looking up at the screen. Thanks to the fact that he had just entered junior high school and was very short, he did not affect the audience behind him, thus avoiding any arguments.

"Hasn't Teacher Toriakino appeared yet? I'm so looking forward to it."

However, he was sitting in the back row and couldn't see the interviewee at all.

I could only make out a vague outline.

"Teacher Toriakino, have you seen the Death Note movie? What's your opinion?"

Finally, it was time for the interview with Akino Mirai. Miyano Ken stared wide-eyed, but to his annoyance, he couldn't see Akino Mirai's face.

"Uh, I haven't seen it yet."

When Akino Mirai spoke, the audience immediately cheered and applauded.

Ken Miyano felt that the voice sounded familiar; he had heard it somewhere before.

"Huh? Why?"

"Because I wanted to see this work from the audience's perspective, I waited anxiously until now."

"So you really trust Director Kaneko."

"That's right. Director Kaneko's movie will definitely be well received. I also have to thank him for making Death Note more widely known."

"Thank you for your trust, teacher." Kaneko Shusuke bowed slightly. "I am truly humbled."

"I meant it all."

"Then I'll be even more nervous, haha."

After the pre-movie interviews concluded, just before the film was about to begin, an invited reporter suddenly asked a question.

"Tori Akino-sensei, I heard you're releasing a new work, but Jump hasn't revealed any details. May I ask what the title of your new work is?"

Higashino looked around and found that many people were staring at him curiously.

He pursed his lips and said, "Puella Magi Madoka Magica."

"Ha!" The crowd gasped in surprise.

……

"Death Note is really interesting," Hibiki Higashino said with great interest on his way home after watching the movie.

"Isn't that narcissistic of you?" Akemi Akimiya spat. "Apart from Naomi Minami, the movie content is no different from the manga."

In the movie "Death Note," Light still finds the Death Note and begins to judge criminals, embarking on a path to godhood.

L deduced from the live television broadcast that Kira was in the Kanto region of Japan, and further deduced from the timing of the crime in the month that Kira was a student.

Moon reveals information about herself, and L infers that Kira is a police officer's family member, so FBI agent Ray begins to follow Moon.

Under the moonlight, the trap killed Lei.

Then Naomi Minami investigated and found that the moon was Kira.

In the manga version, Koreki tricks Naomi Minami into revealing her identity and uses the Death Note to force her to commit suicide.

In order to reach a climax and create a more intense plot conflict, the movie changed the plot so that Naomi Minami kidnaps Light Yagami's girlfriend and threatens Light to kill her, thus revealing that she is Kira.

But in the end, Naomi Minami accidentally shot and killed Light's girlfriend, and then committed suicide out of guilt.

The plot seems absurd.

But all of this was Yue's conspiracy.

These are all plays he performed through Death Note.

First, he dealt with Naomi Minami; second, his girlfriend was killed, partly because of Kira. He used his girlfriend's death as an excuse to join L's team.

“But this part was indeed adapted very well,” Hibiki Higashino said. “The film performance was more effective, and the part from the manga would have been a bit boring if it had been placed at the very end of the film.”

"The film's plot also reflects Light Yagami's cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness, making the character both compelling and charismatic, doesn't it?"

This is a mystery story that rivals the quality of the Death Note manga.

Higashino Hibiki will have made the trip worthwhile after reading this part.

“Hmm…that’s true.” Akemi Akemi nodded.

When the movie was shown, the audience gasped in amazement; the effect was astonishing.

Presumably, some of these people will watch it two or three times, and when the second movie is released, they will be among the first to see it.
