Isn’t there really not much merit in sticking to the Kirara four-panel format?

Awesome! Daikichi! Oh, by the way, oh~ Daikichi, Nucho Sage? Seriously amazing, everything is perfect, ultra rare!
So, what is Kirara manga?
>>1To be honest, there are many cases where the anime adaptation is good, but the original work is lacking.
If it’s a moe slice-of-life, it seems like the Kirara four-panel manga brand is becoming established, and it’s also relatively likely to be adapted into an anime.
I realized that Killu Me Baby is amazing.
I don’t think I’ve mentioned it, but since Kirara’s basic readership is female, it’s better to approach it with the intention of drawing shoujo manga rather than trying to create a moe four-panel comic from the 2000s.
Nurumeta has an aroma reminiscent of the old Kirara.
I can’t put into words how it has changed from the past to now, but…
I feel like what I’m looking for changes when I watch Kirara anime compared to reading a work featured in a magazine filled with four-panel comics.
It was certainly fresh to experience the expression in Shimeji, which felt unlike a four-panel comic.
If you take a look at one page of Bozaro, I think any theory will go out the window.
Burn! So it’s decided!! Big news!! The ‘Kessoku Band’ has announced a tour in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka!! Whoa!! A tour in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka… We’ve finally come this far. We must be getting popular, right…? Story! A struggling student, introverted and gloomy yellow paper bag enthusiast, Hitori Gotou. Summoning all his courage for his first live performance, he ended up with an awful result and continued his unfortunate days, when one day the long-awaited tour in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka was finally announced!! However, there’s no money from his parents. The live house they’re doing it at is that one!! It’s easy to get to and has a large population, so it has a high attendance rate. Is the Tokyo-Nagoya-Osaka tour a live performance held in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka? What on earth is that? Everyone is like, “Huh? The songs are buzz-worthy and we’re doing an event tour, isn’t Kessoku Band?” Don’t get too famous. Even famous artists were being made to gather trash from crows back then. Speaking of Nagoya, you can’t miss kishimen, right? Is it getting spicier…? Nagoya Castle also looks interesting. Shall we go to Daimaru? I think it would be nice if opportunities to perform increase. Plus, yesterday a fan said they made something special for me—hand-knitted and spicy!? That’s so lonely! Since it’s a bullet tour, we go with the flow. Aichi all looks delicious. It seems the agency will receive us at the venue in Denshitani. The opposing band should also be a good one, and I will do my best in both the live and creating songs! A cute and genius lyricist, a cool genius guitarist, an upbeat Harley. Could it be that all my activities are with just Michiaki right now, so it’s super crowded? Yes! This is the Kessoku Band that adults seek!! I asked housewives in their 50s! The ideal Kessoku Band.
>>9It’s really become something amazing.
>>9The fact that a single frame contains a lot of information feels consistent with the theory.
The cost of drawing the stardust telepaths is not what you’d spend on a four-panel comic.
>>10This was a part that was hard to understand unless it was pointed out, so it was pretty interesting.
While reading manga, I’ve fallen in love with the parts that are dense and high in calories, and as someone who has started reading a lot of four-panel comics, it’s sad that the good parts are actually the reason why there are few readers.
On the other hand, it seems to be one of the reasons why the Kirara Alumni Association at universities has been increasing recently.
>>11Reading an 8-page comic is quite a commitment, more than just a 4-panel one.
I used to buy and read four-panel comics, but it became tough after turning 30.
Right now, I only buy things like the “Bocchi the Rock!” manga.
>>49I think that having a lot of information can make you tired easily.
Nurumeta seems likely to be animated eventually.
>>13If the serialization continues and it seems like there are fans in the anime industry, then it might happen eventually.
>>17Since I’m doing videos for the MV, I hope that kind of thing serves as good promotion…
Super Ten-chan’s MV and so on.
>>29It’s complicated because odyk is drawing it and also rikokamu is drawing it!
Are cable ties selling this much right now!?
I didn’t know because I’m a paperback person…
Whoa, there are a lot of characters!
I was surprised to see the author of SUN directly in the comments on Hatena Bookmark.
After reading the article, I was surprised to find a reference to “The Coffin Bearer Kuro.”
But if we’re talking about Kirara, we can’t avoid Kiyuzuki Satoko…
The early days when it was lukewarm were a bit awkward.
I feel like I grasped various things starting from around volume 3, and it got much better.
It’s interesting to talk about how this is what I grasped.
>>23When I looked back, it felt good from volume 2.
But after all, the first volume has a strong sense of trial and error in both the art and the story.
Indeed, the first volume of Nurume is somewhat difficult to read in places.
I feel resentment towards the fact that “Matazoro” has been discontinued.
In fact, I still read GA and Kuro again even now…
>>27It’s nice, isn’t it…?
I haven’t thoroughly addressed the topic of money.
I don’t feel like I can make a living with an 8-page monthly serialization and a volume released once a year.
>>28It feels like a musician or an artist.
It’s tough unless your family is well-off.
>>30Originally, many 4-panel manga creators were housewives making some extra pocket money.
Time and life.
I feel like it’s been improving significantly since the story of Sakina skipping school in volume 2, episode 1.
GA started serialization in the same year as Hidamari Sketch, but at that time it was quite condensed.
It was after that magazine ceased publication that it was picked up by the Kirara editorial department and resumed serialization, right?
The person from Yami-ba said they are working multiple jobs.
As the person themselves said, it’s rare and actually quite amazing that it has six volumes published in Kirara without being adapted into an anime or being canceled.
I recalled Tricolo for the first time in a while.
>>37The concentration of Tricolo was really amazing, wasn’t it?
That’s why I couldn’t continue.
If you don’t know how to take it easy, you won’t be able to manage everything, I guess.
>>37There are various reasons it tends to be erased from history, but when I read it once in a while, I still think it’s really high quality.
It’s quite common for novelists to have housewives as a hobby.
Even though there are up to volume 9, there are some works like Anemone that have not been animated or even adapted into voice comics…
It’s not Kirara, but when it comes to ideals or the ultimate form, it really is Azumanga Daioh.
The author of Hoshikuzu Telepass is too robust.
Normally, I feel like I might suddenly die someday.
The reason the author continues even without an anime adaptation is a mystery…
I love Helvetica in manga with a lot of text.
The variation in the style is well done, and it feels quite easy to read (this is just my opinion since I didn’t find Volume 1 too difficult to read, so it might not be reliable).
It was an interesting article, but in the end, it’s just said to be luck, which is really not saying much!
>>46Well, it’s true that focusing on creating a better work is more important than worrying about that.
In the first place, it was a manga that started in 2020 and is now in its fifth year of serialization.
I thought it was an older work.
I liked it after watching GA in the anime, so I bought it in bulk during the sale and read it.
Even GA was difficult for me to finish reading.
If it ended in a 2-page spread, I probably wouldn’t have felt that way, following the series.
Even though the character is cute, it was tough.
>>50I love GA and Kuro too, but well, it can make you feel tired…
Surely, regarding the latter Kuro, I believe that Kiyuzuki-sensei was self-deprecatingly aware of it.
In the case of a paperback, just being a four-panel format makes the calorie count heavier.
If it’s something surreal, it’s easy to read.
>>52I like the visuals of the story, but it took a lot of energy to finish it.
Popoko’s works were easy to read.
4コマは電子書籍で風呂のたびに少しずつ読んでる
Even if the number of pages is small, when you think about it in terms of frames, it’s a lot.
I would like to hear opinions from people like Arai Cherry as well.
It was an interesting article.
I understand that Gochiusa is a king.
Even though there are supposed to be few pages, it makes sense that it takes a long time to read them.
>>58The feeling of not progressing is intense.
As if walking endlessly along a straight road far away.
A medium that is truly appreciated by someone like me who fully savors every single panel.
It seems like the love for Kirara is amazing.
If you’re aiming to become a Kirara writer, it seems that this is kind of a prerequisite.
>>62In the first place, this person was already drawing their own Kirara-style manga on platforms like pixiv, and then they turned that into a serialized work, so I feel like it’s a flow of making a hobby into a job.
It’s amazing that you can write such engaging notes and draw erotic manga.
I like this person’s erotic art.
>>66The other day, Nuru Meta was tweeting about writing with an erotic intention, and I thought it was great to be able to get off to that.
Kirara 4-koma still has a decent number of people, and if I try to draw it now, it will still have that Kirara style, so that’s fine for now.
The lineage of family four-panel comics is seriously at risk of dying out.
Only veterans are able to draw, and new series have been significantly encroached upon by Kirara.
>>67The number of four-panel manga magazines has significantly decreased…
I was surprised to see that when I looked closer, they were just kissing normally; I didn’t know Kirara was this erotic.
>>68How many people do you think from the erotic manga field are serialized (or were serialized)?
Since they are similar to odyk, it’s hard to tell which is which when both names are in the PV.
>>69Odyk is a different person from Kokamu, but Kokamu explained that they are someone who animates drawings.
I read somewhere that inviting people who were illustrators at first often means you don’t have to worry about paneling, which lowers the hurdle for serialization.
>>70It was a theory I had seen quite often, but after reading this article, I realized it was much more difficult than ordinary panel layouts and that it was merely an amateur’s thought.
It seems that Kirara 4-koma has done just about everything in the slice-of-life genre, and while it may not look like it, there is quite a bit of transformation happening with the increasing use of change-ups.
>>71The current editor-in-chief is taking on various challenges due to concerns about boredom and stagnation.
In other words, one of the roots of this story, known as Kirara four-panel comics, is probably Torikoro.
>>73Teacher Ume mentioned Teacher Kairan and Tricolor in the Kirara exhibition catalog.
It feels like Gochiusa has somehow completed the perfect slice of life.
The concept of Kirara may have emerged later in history, but it’s not an exaggeration to say that GochiUsa completed it.
To be precise, it’s the anime “Gochiusa.”
That is the standard Kirara-style.
So, what is it?
Are you saying that Doujin Work and Kanamemo are not standard?
>>78Doujin Work seemed to me like just an ordinary kirara manga at the time, but I think Kanamemo is interesting.
It’s just that because the poison is strong, it’s quite far from Kirara’s current concept.
Both were ambitious works in terms of anime.
Is Kyouko from “Kill Me Baby” a god?
>>79Isn’t it seriously amazing that up until now they’ve managed to get by using only the initial characters, and now a new named character appears and goes viral?
Looking at the first volume of Gochiusa, the art has improved too much.
The growth of the characters, the abundance of good characters, and the readability as a four-panel comic all make it a one-of-a-kind king.
I am surprised by the fact that it has been six years since the lukewarm one.
Gochiusa is really easy to read.
It’s high quality, so there are many entries and there should be many characters talking at that moment, yet it feels refreshing.
I really like the beginning of Volume 2 of Nurumeta with Saki and Chiaki.
I don’t think it’s possible for other long-running series to buzz just by introducing a new named character.
I like how Nurumeta brings out themes like family or classmates in each volume.
The fixed size of the frame is mentioned as a similarity with video media, but due to the small size of the frame, the composition is almost never retained as it is in animation.
Rather, I feel that the ability to freely restructure the composition during animation adaptation is an advantage compared to other manga adaptations.
Honestly, I think 4-panel comics don’t need to be divided into panels, and it’s easier to come up with drama for slice-of-life stories, so unless you trick people into thinking otherwise, it’s a genre of manga that only eccentric characters can depict.
Is the new Kirara work being announced for anime adaptation in the Bad Girls of Summer officially over?
It’s a mystery that even though the series has been running for quite a long time, there’s no sign of it being adapted into an anime.
Is it okay to use a walnut for that!?
>>97You’re over here.
Akitaland Gothic, how many years ago was that manga?
3. Standardize the placement of characters.I feel somewhat reassured as a reader when there is a “familiar scene from that manga.”I understand.
>>101I like Suzuhead, even though it’s not Kirara.
There are too many things I want to be animated right now.
It seems that when Nurumetah is animated, the hurdles for the elements required in animation are quite high.
I think the tone of volume 1 of Nurumeta is quite difficult in various ways…
The new Abyssmal has a great atmosphere, and the renewed Blue Knight (published magazine) was super stylish, so I recommend it.
Sure, here are the extracted characters: “` THE BLUE RIDER THE BLUE RIDER Aoishi Rune Furukoln Blue Knight HAPPY BIRTHDAY! HAKAMA & AOISHI No. 25 Uncertified The Spring of Beast Life and Blood Revolution Apistel Swift Limit装うろうそてラかつらまテテフア日司 すと 悲鳴嶋春せ。ア日司ぽへ。、 Are you ready? Are you prepared? When the darkness of closure opens The Blue Knight Season 2 Open Rokkan ‘Happy Birthday Before Darkness Nightmare’ Abyss Teel M Notamine Tieshi von Kakamura ‘ROKKAN 665’ “`
>>106Is the atmosphere of Abysmal serious?
>>110The atmosphere is like Disgaea.
>>110It’s probably an action comedy with cool catchphrases.
I don’t think it leans too seriously.
Nurumeta would be the type that, even if animated, wouldn’t sell at all like KIll Me, and not selling would become a joke in later years.
The anime “Nichijou” (by Keiichi Arai), which the person also references in their work, will meet the same fate.
The craftsmanship is skillful and there’s creativity involved, but it just doesn’t seem like it would appeal broadly at all…
It feels like MAX has always been the eternal second in the Kirara ranking, but right now MAX is the most interesting magazine.
>>109I think it has become a magazine as hot as Carat was at one time.
Please publish more erotic manga.
>>111That’s a different person, right? The account is also different.
>>119By the way, about this fanbox diary…
As expected from an analysis by a long-time serialized author, it was a fantastic and informative article.
Speaking of which, there used to be a campaign-like site where you could chat with Kurumi, and it had elements where kids would communicate with others while hiding it from their parents and send selfies, which was extremely exciting, so I hope it can come back.
Nurumeita has many anti-fans.
Unusually many
It seems the editorial department is having trouble dealing with it too.
I thought it was amazing that aside from Houbunsha, no one could continue publishing magazines specializing in four-panel comics, but it seems that the know-how had not been passed down internally after all.
How on earth is it continuing?
>>116I have the impression that after attracting people by triggering it with anime, they have been stuck in a low-altitude flight cycle for years, like a bicycle operation.
The first volume of Nurumeta has a unique vibe that’s heavily influenced by Archetype, but starting from around the second volume, the story becomes much more stable and interesting, so it’s great.
Is kokamu’s odyk a different person?
I didn’t realize that I couldn’t tell the difference between Kurumi and Yuki…
I accepted that it turned out that way when I converted the color manga to monochrome.
I think if “Nurume-ta” were made into a regular anime, it would be well-received.
I want them to air the anime around the same time.
I feel like it’s become more interesting now that it’s deviated from the template of modifying a walnut and showing it to Yuki.
