My manga notes: When something shocking is said, create a panel to accept it. You had a car accident. Your father had a car accident. What!? What!? You’re too understanding!! That’s what makes you human!
What the heck!?
>>154
Understanding
Too good!!
It might just be made easier to understand, but the left side also feels somewhat off.
>>3
What!? Since the situation is a fictional reaction, I guess having a realistic pause brings a sense of discomfort?
As I came to terms with reality over time, it ended up being something like “…are you okay?”
Shura powder is convenient.
There are often cases where the line “What is it that ended with just receiving it as a performance?!” is abbreviated.
Rather, we don’t need the frame with “What on earth!?” right?
What?! That kind of reflexive reaction is also a shock, so I don’t think it’s a problem if it’s on the right.
Andante!?
I’m okay with the right side.
>>10
I also feel that this is actually good enough.
>>14
The word “accident” comes to mind relatively easily, so the right side feels more natural.
What did you say!?
The left side is more like a scene where you get shocked, or rather, it’s the usual.
Here we go!
…
No way!
It’s that thing, right?
Eh…!?
I think the right side is good for this person’s manga’s sense of rhythm and tempo.
It depends on the case.
When you think about it, there really isn’t a situation where you actually say, “What the heck!?”
It’s like lines that are acted out dramatically.
In a split-second reaction like that, you go “Huh!?”
>>16
It’s the fifth power!
>>18
W-What did you say?!
Well, even if I say it’s a shocking event, it’s difficult to quantify.
I think there are people like that on the left if it’s a shocking event, maybe second in that story.
What did you say!?
“My father is in critical condition, please come to the hospital immediately.”
“Uh… I’m a bit busy right now, so I’ll be late.”
When I went, they were dead, and it turned into funeral preparations right away.
>>20
What?!
Cosmo… Kasha is dead…
>>22
That’s right!
I think it’s fine to have “Eh?” or “Huh?” on the second sheet on the left.
>>23
Understanding
Too bad!!
The right feels focused on tempo.
ΩΩΩ<……………………
W-What did you say!?
Your father
I ordered at the Indian curry shop.
>>27
……
What did you say!?
In the context of “Dengerus Jii-san,” there’s a surprised face on the left side of the first panel, right?
>>29
It’s an image of my grandchild smiling against a sparkling background.
>>37
After the scene where the grandpa passed away, the grandson is sweating and his nose is running while looking confused against a sparkling background.
It must be a comic for elementary school students, so the left side is probably correct.
In the end, it can change completely depending on the style and characters, so it’s hard to say anything definitive.
But I prefer the kind of thing where I lose words rather than just being anything like on the left.
What the heck!?
Your father was involved in a traffic accident.
>>34
Understanding
Too good!!
Just keep it to the top panel and it’s fine to just overlay the reaction from the lower panel with “?!”.
>>36
This is the correct answer.
Well, this is probably an extreme example for explanation purposes.
Three Zazaa!
It’s tuna!
It’s tuna!!!!
I think the reactions of the recipient are influenced by the energy of the person delivering the message.
If it’s conveyed seriously… it makes me go, huh?
If someone said, “I am your father!!!”, wouldn’t you want to say, “What the hell!?”
What?!
It seems that you have not provided any Japanese text for translation. Please provide the text you would like to have translated.
Too immersed!
The left side has more of a BLEACH vibe, doesn’t it?
>>45
What… is happening… in between… right?
Mr. Anakubo gives off a right-wing image.
>>46
If anything, I’m surprised in the same frame as above.
The right one feels better, but it might depend on the style of the manga.
What did you say!? (Father surprised next to me)
Since it’s an old man’s style, it doesn’t feel out of place even on the right, but if it were a different style, it would be a different story.
I had an accident in the same frame! What!? But it seems there is a sense of realism.
When you want to earn more frames, go left.
The left had an advertisement in the middle during serialization.
>>53
Is there insurance that you can get from here!?
The old man often has shocking revelations in one frame, along with his grandchild’s big reactions.
The principal died in a traffic accident.
>>55
Oh, I see.
I feel like it would become more like Kazuhiko Shimamoto if additional information comes in within the “What!?” panel.
Your father was in a traffic accident.
On that cold snowy morning.
I like protagonists who are understanding, so let’s go with the left one.
Even professional manga artists can make mistakes like this.
I think the reaction of “What!? That’s wrong from the start.” is incorrect.
>>63
Well, even if someone said it to me in real life, I think I would react with something like “Huh!?” (I’ve actually experienced that).
If it includes cartoonish exaggeration, it doesn’t seem all that inappropriate, does it!?
>>65
What!? If I were to exaggerate, I think it would definitely be the right one.
Hiro Mashima’s RAVE has great artwork, but since he wasn’t used to manga yet, there are many scenes like the one on the right in the early stages.
“You are my… precious family. ‘Dad…'”
It turned into a conversation that was almost like hungry for it.
It’s such a surprise with the tension…!! but I can really understand, Teacher Anakubo.
Mr. Soyama often brings up relatable topics that make you think, “Oh, is that so?”
When I read long epic stories, I think that Mr. Soyama’s raw manga skills are extremely high, right?
If I had to say, I feel like there’s a strange difference in temperature between the speaker and the listener.
Well, if I were just told that I was in a car accident…
Ah, that guy crashed the car… that’s what happens.
Seppuku is not a sport!
…………
Was there ever such a high-resolution emotional scene in “Denjarasu Jii-san”?
>>75
The old man often uses a page flip for the game.
But I didn’t find anything particularly off about MMR!
Let’s have Minagawa fade in the third panel on the left.
Conan-kun, Hikaru has been hijacked!
It’s easy to understand why manga artists need editors.
The reaction during the Cthulhu era is left.
Eh…!?
The one on the left will be carried over to the next time for the third panel, using only the first and second panels for the setup.
I feel like JoJo often has these kinds of panels.
It comes in like a cut-in.
I was really shocked when I received the news that an acquaintance passed away during the New Year! I was like, “Oh… why?”
The reaction level around here might change depending on familiarity.
Please explain in detail.
In a panel where something shocking comes out involving the old man, there’s a profile of the grandchild drawn at the edge, serving a role similar to that of the second panel on the left.
In the first panel, saying “What the heck?!” makes it feel like KochiKame.
Since the old man is not a typical manga artist, it might actually feel strange to hear it expressed in this person’s style.
>>90
Are you saying this based on the colors of his work?
We need to consider whether this is a suggestion as a universal manga expression separately.
Fullmetal Alchemist is on the left.
Is that my dad blowing away cars while taking a walk!?
I understand what you’re saying, but the left feels strange because of your usual style.
The things you’re saying are correct, but there is a sense of discomfort with the outputted image.
When I tell them that ~ has died, the perpetrator reacts differently, right?
MMR is to the right.
As an expression,
If the main topic of the story is about having an accident, then it’s on the left.
If the story begins with an incident, then the next story will start on the right.
I think it feels about that much.
The left side looks more unnatural, and if the editing brought in a name like this, it would have been rejected.
>>100
They said that for Hiroyuki Kitazume, whose art style is tall and skilled and whose stories and settings are complex, it would be better to do it like on the left instead of always going to the right.
I’ve completely turned into a x comedian, haven’t I…
Is this kind of spacing something you learned from Masaru?
>>102
Masaru is the type of character who reacts without any pause in a manga.
In the end, it changes depending on the before and after, doesn’t it?
What?! Dad died after that!? Yay!! Then I think it’s left.
There aren’t many people who can say anything to Professor Soyama.
I think you don’t write comics with that kind of direction, so it’s not convincing.
>>105
It’s the same as Sakurai, right?
I wonder why they talk about genres they have no experience in.
Teacher Soyama is still fine because he has the stance of just doing it this way…
>>109
Sakurai Norio?
Did we ever talk about manga theory?
>>109
It seems that the fact that Sakurai is someone who hasn’t been deleted is known to those who are not anonymous in the thread.
Who…?
Baki sometimes has three-panel inserts, right?
>>106
If you overdo it, it just ends up looking like a waste of time…
What!
I personally think the third panel on the left looks better without the explosion speech bubble and just with a close-up of one eye.
>>112
I think it’s more appropriate to quietly express surprise.
I was the one who caused your father to have an accident.
Why did you delete it?
What!? …Huh, my dad!?
Well, the nuance of “well, whatever” is not the main subject, but rather whether to take a pause or not is the main topic…
For gag manga, the right side is fine.
Cosmo, Karsha is dead.
That’s right!
>>122
The vivid depiction of combat is good, isn’t it…
I like the ones where Moroboshi-sensei becomes serious when encountering strange phenomena.
In old manga and anime, there would be lightning strikes or exaggerated effects.
It is also a space for the reader to perceive simultaneously with the protagonist…
I think that splitting the dialogue in the first panel into two makes it feel stretched out if it appears on the left after a sufficient pause.
We need to talk about both panel layout and context.
But that’s exactly what makes us human!
It seems like in a gag manga, there wouldn’t be any life-threatening situations.
Rather, there may be times when I intentionally choose to be on the right so as not to become too heavy.
I think the Gundam manga by Hiroyuki Kitazume progresses entirely to the right.
What did you say!?
It was definitely the right choice to stick to gag manga…
Dad… Mom has died.
What!?
Hehehe… SEX!
…What… did you say…?
Mr. Soyama’s topics on Twitter feel like they’re from way back, almost like the first year of the internet.
>>137
That’s why it gets attention on Twitter.
The person in the thread image has the impression of creating a pause even before making a witty comeback.
In a gag manga, there might be lines and responses like “I wonder if I can change the insurance heir on the right now…”
There are also scenes that don’t create the surprises typical of Adachi Mitsuru’s style.
Whether this is correct or not is another matter.
It’s important to set clear rules from the start.
>>144
Is that so…? It shouldn’t be that serious, right?
>>144
That connects to the tempo of the work.
If you aim for an effect intentionally, that’s one thing, but if it changes randomly, it can cause a stumbling block for the reader.
>>144
If the right is considered normal, the brain will start to compensate for it.
Why do you harbor such hatred towards the way I do things?
On the right, there’s a guy who suddenly grabs hold of a man and starts shouting things like, “When!? Where!? Why is Dad!?” and is then subdued with, “Calm down!”
On the left, right after this, it fades out and in the next frame, there’s someone in a car heading to either the operating room or the hospital, thinking about why Dad is…
If we were talking face to face, it would be on the right.
“If I suddenly stopped you to tell you, would it be on the left?”
I feel that the style, or the quirks of the artwork, is too strong to talk about the general theory of manga production.
The person speaking in the first panel is the father.
>>153
What the heck!?
It’s embarrassing to have a scene with dust dancing in an emotional moment.
It’s not emotional, right!?
I think it’s better for a low-age dirty gag manga artist to stop pretending to hold a manga class…
>>157
You have articulated the muddle in my heart.
Eh…!?
Are you stupid or what!?
This is better on the right.
>>161
The contrary ninja has arrived…
>>163
Isn’t the threshold for contrarian designation too low?
Even if what you’re saying is correct, I think it’s better not to engage with someone who’s being persistent and foolish.
Recently, the old man is boring.
No, this is better on the right.
Karsha is dead!
