Isn’t there really not much benefit in being stubborn about the kirara four-panel format?
So what is Kirara manga?
>>1To be honest, while the anime adaptations are good, many of the original works are mediocre.
If it’s a slice-of-life series with moe elements, it seems to be a brand like Kirara four-panel manga, which is relatively likely to be adapted into anime.
I realized that Kill Me Baby is amazing.
I don’t think it’s been mentioned, but since the basic readership of Kirara is female, it would be better to approach it with the mindset of drawing shoujo manga rather than trying to draw the moe four-panel comics of the 2000s.
Nurumeta has the scent reminiscent of the old Kirara.
I can’t express how things have changed from the past to the present.
I feel like what I seek changes when I watch Kirara anime compared to when I read a work in a magazine filled with four-panel comics.
Indeed, the expression with Shimeji felt fresh and didn’t seem like a four-panel comic.
If you try looking at a page of Bozaro, I think you’ll forget about theories and such.
>>9It’s turning into something amazing.
>>9It feels like there’s a lot of information in one panel, as expected from the theory.
The production cost for the starry telepath’s illustrations isn’t meant for a 4-panel comic.
>>10This was a part that you wouldn’t understand unless it was pointed out, so it was a bit interesting.
As someone who started reading a lot of four-panel comics after falling in love with the dense and high-calorie parts while reading manga, it’s sad that the good parts are exactly the reason why there are so few readers.
On the other hand, it seems to be one of the reasons for the recent increase in university Kirara clubs.
>>11Reading an 8-page manga requires a lot of effort, unlike just one 4-panel comic.
I used to buy and read 4-koma magazines, but it became tough after I turned 30.
Right now, I only buy standalone volumes like “Bosaro.”
>>49I think there is such a thing as too much information being tiring.
It seems that Nurumeta might get adapted into an anime someday.
>>13If the series continues and there are fans in the anime industry, then it seems likely they’ll do something eventually.
>>17MVの動画やってるからああいうのがいい感じに宣伝になってれば…
Super Ten-chan’s MV, etc.
>>29It’s confusing because Odyk and Ricokamu are both drawing!
Are zip ties selling this well right now?!
I didn’t know because I prefer physical books…
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 “Kuro the Coffin Bearer.”
But if we’re talking about Kirara, we can’t avoid Kiyuzuki Satoko…
The early days when it was lukewarm were a bit uncertain.
I feel like I started to grasp various things from around volume 3, and it got really much better.
It’s interesting to think that what I’ve grasped is like this.
>>23Looking back, it was nice starting from volume 2.
But still, the first volume really 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 parts.
I feel resentment over the cancellation of Matzoro again.
In fact, I still read GA and Kuro even now…
>>27That’s nice…
I haven’t touched on the topic of money thoroughly.
I don’t feel like I can make a living with an 8-page monthly serialization and a volume published once a year.
>>28It seems like a musician or an artist.
It’s tough if your family isn’t well-off.
>>30Originally, many four-panel comic artists were housewives earning a bit of pocket money.
Time and life
I feel that it has improved significantly since the story of Sakina skipping school in volume 2, chapter 1.
GA started serialization in the same year as Hidamari Sketch, but at that time it was quite condensed.
That’s when it resumed serialization after being picked up by the Kirara editorial department following its suspension.
The person from the dark side said they have a side job.
As the person themselves said, it’s quite rare and honestly amazing that it has released up to volume 5 in Kirara without being adapted into an anime or getting canceled.
I remembered Tricolor after a long time.
>>37Tricolo had an amazing concentration, didn’t it?
That’s probably why I couldn’t continue.
If you don’t cut corners skillfully, various things probably won’t last.
>>37There are various reasons why it tends to be erased from history, but when I read it occasionally, I still think it’s of high quality.
It’s quite common for novelists to be housewives as a hobby.
There are some stories like Anemone that have up to 9 volumes but haven’t even been adapted into an anime, let alone a vocal comic…
It’s not Kirara, but when it comes to ideals or perfection, it really does have an essence of Azumanga Daioh.
The author of Star Dust Telepath is too sturdy.
Usually, it feels like I might suddenly die someday.
The reason why the author still continues without an anime adaptation is a mystery…
I love manga with a lot of text.
The variation in the artwork’s strength is skillful, making it feel quite easy to read (this is just my opinion since I didn’t find volume 1 of Nuu that difficult to read, so it might not be reliable).
It was an interesting article, but in the end, it just comes down to luck, doesn’t it?
>>46Well, it’s true that it’s better to focus on creating better work rather than worrying about that.
It was a manga that started in 2020 and is now roughly 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 a bunch during the sale and read it.
It was tough for me to even read through GA.
If it had ended in a 2-page spread while following the series, it probably wouldn’t have felt that way.
Even though the character is cute, it was tough.
>>50I love GA and Kuro too, but it definitely leads to a sense of fatigue…
I’m sure that regarding the latter, Kiyudzuki-sensei was self-deprecatingly aware.
In the case of a single volume, just being four-panel comics makes the calories heavier.
If it’s something like surrealism, it’s easy to read.
>>52I like the visuals of the mushroom, but it took a lot of energy to finish reading.
Popoko’s work was easy to read.
I’m reading a 4-panel comic little by little on my e-reader during bath time.
Even if the number of pages is small, when you think about the number of panels, it’s a lot.
I would like to hear opinions from people like Arai Cherry.
It was an interesting article.
I understand that Gochiusa is king.
Even though there are supposed to be few pages, I realized that it’s taking time to read because of that.
>>58I really feel like nothing is progressing.
As if walking endlessly on a faraway straight road.
A medium that is truly appreciated by people like me who savor every single panel.
The love for Kirara is amazing.
If you’re aiming to be a Kirara manga artist, it seems like that’s a prerequisite.
>>62In the first place, they were already drawing their own Kirara-style manga on sites like pixiv, and then they just turned that into a serialization, so it feels like they’ve turned their hobby into a job.
It’s amazing that you can write such engaging notes and draw erotic manga.
I like this person’s erotic drawings.
>>66The other day, Nurumeta tweeted something like he was writing with the intention of it being erotic, and I thought it was great to fap to.
There are still a decent number of people interested in Kirara 4-koma, so when I try to draw it, it still has that Kirara flavor, which is nice for now.
The lineage of family 4-panel comics is seriously at risk of ending.
Only veterans can draw, and new series have been significantly encroached upon by Kirara.
>>67The number of four-panel manga magazines has decreased significantly…
I was surprised to see that they were kissing normally when I checked. I didn’t realize Kirara was this erotic.
>>68How many series do you think people in the erotic manga field have been working on (or are currently working on)?
Since it resembles odyk, when both names are in the PV, it becomes unclear which is which.
>>69Odyk is a different person from Kokamu, but Kokamu did explain that he is someone who animates pictures.
I read somewhere that it’s often easier to invite people who were illustrators to a series, as they don’t have to divide panels, which lowers the hurdle for serialization.
>>70It was a theory I had seen relatively often, but after reading this article, I realized it was far more difficult than regular paneling, and that it ultimately was just an amateur’s thought.
It feels like Kirara’s 4-panel comics have done everything they can with the slice-of-life genre, and even though it seems like nothing has changed, there are actually quite a few transformations happening.
>>71The current editor-in-chief is taking various challenges to avoid boredom and stagnation.
In other words, one of the roots of this story called “Kirara 4-koma” is probably Torikoro.
>>73Teacher Ume mentioned Teacher Kairan and Tricolor in the Kirara exhibition catalog.
It feels like Gochiusa has completed the perfect slice of life genre.
The concept of Kirara may have been developed later in history, but it is 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 aren’t the 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 is quite distant from the current concept of Kirara.
In terms of anime, both were ambitious works.
Is “Killing Bites” divine?
>>79Isn’t it seriously amazing that we’ve been operating only with the initial characters until now, and now a new named character is coming out and causing a buzz?
Looking at volume 1 of Gochiusa, the art has improved too much.
The character growth, the abundance of characters, and the readability as a four-panel comic make it a one-of-a-kind king.
I am surprised that it has been six years since Nuru Meta.
Gochiusa is really easy to read.
It’s high quality, so there should be a lot of writing and many characters talking in that moment, yet it feels refreshing.
I really like the beginning of Volume 2 of Nurumeta with Sakina and Chiaki.
I think it’s impossible for other long-running series to go viral just by introducing new named characters.
I like how Nurumeta presents themes related to family and classmates with each volume.
The fixed size of the frames is noted as a commonality with video media, but due to the small size of the frames, the composition is almost never the same when animated.
I feel that the ability to freely reorganize the composition for the anime adaptation, rather than being bound to other manga originals, is a significant advantage.
To be honest, I think 4-koma doesn’t need paneling, and it’s easier than thinking up drama in slice-of-life, so unless you deceive people, it’s a genre of manga that really only attracts weirdos.
Is the new Kirara work that was announced for anime adaptation in Summer Bad Girls already over?
It’s strange that even though it’s been serialized for quite a long time, there’s no sign of it being adapted into an anime.
Is it okay to rub one out with a walnut?!
>>97You’re over here.
What year is “Akita Land Gothic” from, anyway?
3. Standardize the placement of characters.It feels reassuring as a reader to have a “familiar screen from that manga.”I understand.
>>101I don’t like Kirara, but I like Suzuhead.
There are too many things I want to see animated right now.
It seems that Nuru Meta has a high barrier for the elements required in animation when it gets adapted into anime.
Nurumeita’s Volume 1 might be a bit difficult in various ways…
The new Abyssal vibe is nice, and the renewed Blue Knight (publication) is super stylish, so I recommend it.
>>106Is the atmosphere of Abismal serious?
>>110The atmosphere is like Disgaea.
>>110It seems like a cool action comedy with a catchphrase.
I don’t think it will be that serious.
Nurumeta, even with an anime adaptation, would not sell at all like Kill Me and will later become a topic of jokes about its failure to sell.
The person’s situation will end up the same as the anime “Nichijou” (by Keiichi Arawi) that they are referencing.
Kyokai is skilled and innovative, but I just don’t feel like it’s going to be widely accepted at all…
It feels like MAX is eternally in second place in terms of the Kirara rankings, but for now, MAX is the most interesting magazine.
>>109I think it’s become a magazine as hot as Carat used to be.
Please release another erotic manga.
>>111It’s a different person from s… and the account is also different.
>>119By the way, about this fanbox diary…
It was an incredibly informative article, just as expected from an analysis by a long-term serialized writer.
Speaking of which, there used to be a site where you could chat with walnuts as part of a campaign, and it had elements where kids could communicate with it in secret and send selfies, which was incredibly thrilling. I wish it would make a comeback.
Nurumeta has many anti-fans.
Unusually high.
It seems like the editorial department is having trouble handling it too.
I thought it was amazing that other than Houbunsha, they couldn’t continue publishing magazines specializing in 4-panel comics, but it seems that the internal know-how hadn’t been passed down all this time.
How on earth is it continuing?
>>116It feels like I’ve been continuously running a low-level operation for years, where I triggered interest with anime and attracted people.
The first volume of Nurumetai has a pretty strong archetype vibe, so it’s unique, but starting from around the second volume, the story stabilizes and becomes quite interesting, so it’s good.
Is kokamu’s Odyk a different person?
I didn’t realize that I couldn’t tell Kurumi and Yuki apart…
I understood that it turned out that way when the color manga was converted to black and white.
I think Nurumeta would be popular if it were made into a regular anime.
I want anime to be aired at the same time as (it).
I feel like it’s become more interesting since we deviated from the template of modifying the walnut and showing it to Yuki.
