I’m also doing Blue Lock.

All manga artists who can’t differentiate facial expressions should do it.

Do it outside of manga, too.

Isn’t it a nuisance when you look at it in a paperback?

Speaking of which, I haven’t seen the character introduction page in the paperback recently.

In magazines, there are often introductions of people in the side columns.

Due to the prevalence of serialized publication in webcomics, characters that appeared several episodes ago may still be present in the current storyline.
It’s common for readers to have no memory of things from a few months ago…

Do anime too.

But doesn’t it become noise when it appears in every volume of the comic?

I want you to do this regarding the pros and cons of diamonds.
It’s kind of hard to remember.

Dandone wants you to do this…

I’m grateful that they say things like “It’s senior ◯◯ from class ◯ in the忍たま!”

I think manga is good because it’s a still image, but I feel like it’s not very compatible with anime.

I really can’t remember the medalists.

On the contrary, for readers who remember properly, it might feel like an inconvenience.

Blue Lock is designed in a cool way, isn’t it?

Often seen in social games’ four-panel comics.

I would like the character names to have furigana every time, please…

If anything, I want you to do it in reality as well.
Name tag, please appear above the opponent’s head.

It’s like wearing a name tag for just a moment.
It won’t be a problem at all.

I want this to be done for overseas dramas as well…

What the author thinks is something readers should understand may not necessarily be obvious to them.
It would be better to be overly detailed and persistent, assuming that the person reading this has forgotten the memory from a page ago, so that they don’t think this is unnecessary.

If it keeps happening, you basically get used to it and it no longer bothers you.

I don’t remember characters that come back after dozens of episodes.

Thanks to this, I’m really grateful that I can remember the character names.

The thread image has a really difficult-to-remember name, it’s like asking for that much consideration…

The author originally talks about the advantage of being able to drastically change the characters’ fashion thanks to this method.

Masaki Meguro

The thread image is really a tiny name tag, so it doesn’t bother me at all even if it’s there.
If someone says “It would be noise!” without having read it, they are just looking to nitpick, so it’s okay to ignore them.

I mean, I’ve been following it on MangaOne, but I got so used to it that I barely notice when someone says, “Oh, right, there was this name tag system…”

All of these are the assassins of Frieren, but no one can remember them.

Kengan was doing subtitle art even in the anime.

Yuba Lee

I think it’s useful when there are only a few characters, but especially when there are many characters or when characters show up after being forgotten for a while.

No matter how perceptive the reader is, they won’t know the character’s name on the first look.

I can only remember by attributes now…

It’s a bit surreal when I have a goofy face after getting punched in the face or when I remember my late friend during a tough time, and the name tag still comes out.

It’s a commitment to make things easy to understand, but on the other hand, a writer who is particular about appearance probably wouldn’t want to do that, so it’s difficult.

The summary of the Conan movie and the introduction of characters and their relationship diagram are really appreciated…

Luminous Witches

I think everyone understands since we’re all older, but as you age, you just can’t remember character names at all.

The Land of the Lustrous had character introductions in the serialized columns, making it very easy to read.
There are no standalone books, so it’s hard to understand…

Even Kindaichi Shonen was doing this well.

A. Da. Chi. Mitsu.

Hmm, this character is called Ouma… I wonder if it’s a new character…? Has he appeared before…? Well, it doesn’t really matter…

It’s better not to trust the readers.
Only a small number of otaku remember things like character names and birthdays; in reality, many people only recognize them as “the main character,” “that guy from that time,” or “the heroine.”

When there’s a gap in reading “Land of the Lustrous,” I start to wonder who this person is.

I’m so used to it that I sometimes overlook it and forget the name.

In anime, it’s very helpful when characters frequently call each other by name, as it makes it easier to remember.

I want you to do it in a novel.

I want a feature in novels that helps understand what kind of characters there are.
I like the ones that have a list of names and character illustrations at the beginning.

“My name is Shinichi Kudo,” he introduces himself every time.

When I usually read it, I don’t mind it at all, but after being told again, when I watch the latest episode…
One of the main characters, the ongoing battle from the previous story, and a flashy finishing move.
I think it’s quite unique that they’re properly introducing names, though.

It’s like handing out business cards every time we meet, so whether I like it or not, I remember.

Understanding what’s interesting comes after that.
“Not knowing” gives tremendous stress to the reader.

This Kengan thing is really being done so casually that it doesn’t bother me at all…
It took me several years after learning about the work to finally realize the technique.

I can’t remember any of the DMF characters at all, but since Yuns always introduced himself, I’ll never forget him.

I want name subtitles like when they broadcast Western movies on TV because I can’t tell who is who in subscription-based Western dramas.

I feel like in the anime version of World Trigger, they introduced which squad members were in each episode with a subtitle every time.

I’m Satoshi from Masara Town.
This is my partner Pikachu.

When a character makes a rare appearance, it prevents the situation where people wonder “Who is this?” due to changes in the author’s drawing style since then.

Please do it with Yokoyama’s Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Are you Toriko?

My name is Shinichi Kudo. When I went to the amusement park with my childhood friend Ran Mouri, my body shrank. At this point, it’s a level that every human being knows without needing to be told every time, but that also accumulates because it was explained every single time in each movie.

When Freiren resumes, she won’t know where to start if she doesn’t begin with introductions.

I like how new Yakuza characters keep being introduced with their names in Yakuza.

I would like the kanji that appears for the first time on that page to have furigana added.
I can’t reread from the beginning of the book.

It seems difficult because the compatibility might change depending on the genre.

I mean, I read all the Ken Gan episodes, but they weren’t bothersome and I don’t remember the names either.

The anime of Batoga was doing this, but it was very unpopular.

I think it depends on the work.
Martial arts and competitive sports, in a way, seem natural as they resemble player introductions.

I want a method where I can be called or introduce myself even without a name tag.

I think the Kenkan is done so casually that it actually doesn’t register in my brain as information.
I probably have the names of the enemy I’m fighting right now, like that sunglass-wearing “U” or whatever, but I don’t remember any of it at all.

I want Attack on Titan to do this in every panel.
Especially in the early stages.

What on earth is the point of making readers remember names in a manga, if not in a novel?
It’s all about looks, isn’t it?

I have to be careful too.

Most social game manga are like this.

I am Rigel, the knight of the Lizer star!

When the mysterious man with a masked face is revealed, I’ll spoil his identity.

I honestly want you to do it in the novel too.
I was wondering “Who is this guy?!” until about the middle of The Brothers Karamazov.

The greeting of the ninja assassination also had the same effect, it seems.

My name is Gogandantes.

When I first saw the papal election, I was like, “What?! It’s filled with old men…”
You will come to understand when the character becomes distinct.

I want you to do it in real life too…

I laughed when all the mob characters got named at once in Kabutoborg.

I give a name to each response on the bulletin board.

Hello, Ninja Slayer also has a similar method.

I don’t remember names because I’m not interested.
When something piques my interest, I naturally start researching it myself and read it over and over until I remember the name.

While reading “The Three-Body Problem,” it’s helpful that there are furigana on the names at the beginning of each chapter.

It’s better if it’s a medium I can read again, but for games or things with subtitles, I can’t remember the names unless they show them.

I wish they would do it in anime with many characters.

I want furigana because it’s hard to remember kanji that I can’t read.

I want you to do it in a novel, but it will be a spoiler…

The solution is to show the name tag.
“Every time you put out your name tag, you’ll eventually be remembered.”
“Because there are name tags every time, you don’t have to remember.”

I want the characters and GTM to be done in FSS as well.

(I wonder who this guy is?) When I think that, nothing else stays in my head after that.
If someone sees the name and thinks (Who is this? Did they exist?), then there’s nothing that can be done.

Name tags are fine, but it’s really important to have them call each other by their lines.
Reading and ruminating is inevitably about the dialogue.

I borrowed Baccano! from a friend and was reading it, but it was so silly that I couldn’t remember the names of the characters.

The Inuyasha anime that used to air always mentioned the names each time.

I’m currently reading 8 episodes of “How Many Kilograms can Dumbbells Hold?” on MangaOne every day, but I don’t care about it.

The Assault Lily anime really felt like that every time.
I liked that the protagonist, or anyone really, was displayed in a classy cursive script.

Those who have no intention of remembering won’t remember even if this comes out.

The pros and cons of diamonds come up frequently in conversations, even with character names that hardly appear on screen, and since there are a jumble of last names, first names, and nicknames, I really hope they adopt the thread images.

It’s quite common to remember by a nickname here rather than by the character’s name…

There’s no need to remember the full name in the first place.
If you understand that this character has this kind of personality and their relationship with this person, then it will proceed without any issues.

Even if you’re not inclined to memorize it, if it catches your eye, you’ll associate it and eventually remember it, so it’s fine.

The impression of names? Characters that are similar are hard to remember.

I feel like the names are displayed every time in historical epic dramas.
With a similar hairstyle, similar beard, and similar clothing.
I wonder if it’s because there are many people with the same surname and their names are almost identical except for one character.

Do you still remember the names of the characters from Kengan?

It’s common to not remember the names of characters in an anime that I like and look forward to every week.
When a character refers to themselves by their own name or calls themselves by a strange nickname, it’s easier to remember them.
Manga can be easily remembered.

Yamashita Kazuo…

Both Japan and China often give common elements to the names of military commanders and clans, so it becomes difficult to distinguish one from another.

It would be troublesome if this happened with a dress or something, so it really depends on the case.

There are names that are only referred to by their last name or first name in the work…

The first page or so of Higanjima replaying the previous scene is very easy to understand.

One Piece does a great job of bringing out executive-level characters after a long time.

The name of the person second from the left is too long, causing the alignment to be off…

When you train at the mansion of the Wu clan, you keep encountering Wu something or other.
Even if I don’t remember each person properly, it makes a big difference whether I know their names or not.

In “Dynamic Code,” the characters are rarely referred to by their names in the story, leading viewers to call them all by nicknames.

I can’t remember Ouma’s last name…
Because Yamashita Kazuo only calls me by my first name…

Although Ryan and others appear, I can’t recall the names of those who became drinking friends with the ones who are connected at all…

It might be natural, but having different ways to refer to the same character, whether it’s their surname, first name, or nickname, is not considerate to superficial readers…
There are core readers who prefer that naturalness, so there are pros and cons.

Sometimes the image in the thread is Masaki Meguro, but there are times when Hayami-kun shows up, right?

When I take a break from foreign novels and come back to them after a while, I really forget what happened.

I like Raian, the kind big brother who cares for Hikaru-kun in many ways.

The use of facial icons in speech bubbles to make it easier for the speaker to understand has also increased.

If it’s an interesting manga that you can read over and over, you don’t need a name tag.
If it’s Baki, I can remember the names of characters that lost in the first round of the tournament.
No one remembers the sumo chapter.

Doyamu
Fake doyam
Fake fake Doyamu

This is the anime that came to my mind right away.
I certainly have a memory of being grateful…

Blue Lock deliberately doesn’t show the climax until the climax itself, using it as a production technique with name tags to set the scene.

I am the warrior of the planet Seiza… Rigel!

You would gain from doing this, but you wouldn’t lose anything, right?
