During high school, he worked hard on preparing for the cultural festival, and a certain manga artist discussed the cultural festival with a teacher at their workplace during their assistant days. The name is withheld, but the teacher said they hated things like cultural festivals. Don’t you get it even if the name is withheld? “Those who worked hard on cultural festival preparations and felt their youth playing in bands are looked at with cold eyes from the corners of the classroom—it’s not a lie, they just laugh.” His eyes had a color like cigarette tar. What kind of story is this? That assistant later continued to draw a manga like a late-night radio show that creates a bad vibe about working hard on cultural festival preparations. They’ve already called it a gorilla, after all.
The structure of the joke is extremely convincing, but the difference in the author’s direction is significant in terms of the story as well.
The gorilla seems to prioritize live energy and momentum, while Shinohara feels like he has calculated everything up to the punchline.
>>1
In other words, the cultural festival is a manga.
This week’s story about Zico felt like watching the first few pages of Gintama.
It’s so accurate to compare it to a late-night radio show that always curses, it makes me laugh.
>>4
That’s a good example of a balance that makes you understand why such manga becomes popular.
It’s like a theory of manga or the know-how of storytelling that is heavily influenced by the master…
The feeling of being a disciple is primarily in the comedic direction, and I don’t really sense the cool characters or the exciting developments that a skilled artist like Shinohara-sensei would typically create.
The logic of gags is straightforward, while the way characters are created is completely different.
>>7
There are no big, chubby women.
>>62
You were there, weren’t you?
An alien that was about to become linked with the leader of the Shinsengumi.
I didn’t go as far as to say bad things, but I hated the cultural festival, so I prefer Gintama.
Being able to make a joke out of your fake outgoing personality is strong.

Gorilla’s response
This late-night radio-like manga is selling really well…
The manga from the disciple also has a late-night radio vibe…
Isn’t this disciple too much in love with their master?
>>15
I think that anyone who can talk about their hard work preparing for the cultural festival without feeling embarrassed can get along with basically anyone.
Shinohara’s jokes have a sense of being constructed like a skit or a stand-up comedy routine.
It’s amazing that you can really make a relatively interesting manzai with that kind of content.
I only have memories of preparing for the cultural festival and cleaning…
It’s amazing that all three of the works you drew have been turned into anime, disciple.
>>20
There’s only one gorilla…
>>21
You only released that one, didn’t you?!
Moreover, how long has the anime been running!! It’s also been adapted into live-action!!
>>24
Shall we do it?
“Dande Lion animated adaptation”
It’s a strange relationship where, although the gorilla blooms relatively early and the apprentice has left their corporate job, the apprentice is actually older in terms of age.
It’s true that the gorilla is all about talent, but…
When the gorilla started the series, there was a person named Sawai-sensei, who was a bundle of even more amazing talent, so the gorilla thought he had no talent.
>>23
It’s really crazy to go as a gag to where Mr. Sawai and the Kyousuke Usuta from when he was still normal are.
It seems that seeing the two previous examples ends up making him think he should add seriousness, and that has been passed down to his disciples as well.
>>25
I thought the comedy style was quite different, but did they see those two as a big wall…?
>>50
The original direction might be different, but I think there are definitely some changes being consciously made.
>>23
It’s rare to find someone who has read Gintama and shares their thoughts on it.
Even if you remove the parody elements, the work is largely composed of the spirit of gags from the Drifters era, the structure of human-interest stories from around the time of Ken Takakura, and the images of great figures created from past historical works, so it cannot be solely attributed to individual talent.
There is no one else who can imitate, so the ability to absorb, emulate, and take the best parts can be called genius.
An author who thinks they can create an interesting manga solely relying on their own talent cannot make Gintama.
Normally, it’s like a late-night radio program full of bad-mouthing, but why is this gorilla also quite good at heartwarming stories?
I think it would be quite interesting if I could do a late-night radio show.
>>29
It seems like having a gorilla as the late-night radio host and Shinohara as the scriptwriter would make it incredibly entertaining.
It’s amazing how I am connected by such a bond, being a disciple of a gorilla and having Mr. Yabuki as a relative.
Since the gorilla debuted without a master, the disciples might be surprisingly cute.
>>31
When the gorilla had his disciple from the Ashi era draw the trash can for the odd jobs, he didn’t say anything, but when he brought in a large number of drawn vinegar kelp boxes, it seems he thought, “Ah, this guy is going to excel.”
It feels a bit off when the disciple turns clichés or meta elements into gag material.
>>32
It tends to give a serious impression.
The gorilla drawn by the gorilla is really expressionless, while the gorilla drawn by Teacher Shinohara is full of expression…
If they’re going to bring the title back, this gorilla will also appear in the anime… this will be the second time this gorilla becomes an anime…
Inserting serious episodes in between is the difference.
Should I have a gorilla do the gorilla voice…?
To be honest, I don’t like my master’s serious moments or battles.
>>40
It seemed like the disciple was saying that the survey results are declining…
The girl is definitely cuter than the disciple.
The guys are favored by the master.
I mean, Gintama also created gags quite logically, didn’t it?
I think this person and Mr. Matsui have skillfully incorporated their master’s direct style of jokes into their own techniques.
What have you been doing since Gintama ended?
>>44
It turned into a cheese steamed bun.
>>44
I’m watching AV on the tablet I bought for digital transition.
>>46
That episode was somehow good and made me laugh.
The gorilla’s part feels like a story from a rakugo performance, while the disciple’s part often feels like a comedy skit.
But the part about it shining not in golden brilliance like Gintama, but in a dull silver glow, was really thrilling.
The episodes with the marbles and jeans show the influence of the master…
I feel that the disciple has strong elements of gags and puzzles.
>>54
The puzzle elements were in full swing and the short-term summary of Astra was amazing…
When a serious personality mixes with the blood of a twisted gorilla, it becomes a “sukedan.”
The gorilla has probably made enough money that it doesn’t need to draw manga anymore…
I trust that if I draw manga again now, I will come up with something interesting.
It feels like they are doing logically constructed gags when I look at the Q&A section of the manga.
I wasn’t good at cultural festivals, so I’ll try reading Gintama.
It’s funny like a late-night radio show when it gets sarcastic.
As soon as the radio drama starts in the program, it suddenly becomes boring.
However, that radio drama seems to receive more survey responses than the talk show.
When I asked if this was okay for the supervision related to Gintama, I got the response of “No, this is actually…” so they seem to be reasonably energetic.
It’s been a while since Gintama ended, and the recovery period should be enough by now.
Hurry up with the new release, Gorilla.
It’s a pretty straightforward jab, but it’s nice that you can forgive me; we must be good friends.
>>63
If I don’t forgive my master’s style, which often includes straightforward ribbing, I would end up being a person with a very small-mindedness.
It seems that the manga artist started around 30 and debuted about two years later, which is impressive, isn’t it?
I heard that the people here without names are mostly on the gorilla side.
>>65
They have eyes that are the color of tobacco tar.
There’s only the old man from One Piece left.
Do something about the gorilla.
However, the style of storytelling with characters like Moi-chan and Kan-chan is not something we see much in Gintama, so the gags have a quite unique flavor to them.
I think the attention to Bossun’s intonation reflects his personality.
This kind of thing becomes a joke when someone subordinate does it to someone superior.
On that side, they are half-retired and have reversed their positions, so isn’t this just plain sarcasm?
>>70
No…?
>>70
Gintama was made into a live-action movie by Shun Oguri, so it’s still on a higher level even now.
I wish I could be as amusingly sarcastic as a gorilla.
It’s a gag manga, so it’s fine to make fun of the master, right?
It also accurately describes the differences in direction while seeming to depict it negatively.
If they were to do it, they would probably ask for permission from the gorilla in this way beforehand, this is the type of author they are.
>>78
Learn from the master who, without permission, makes others shave their heads and apologize when they get scolded.
Look into my eyes.
It’s not the color of tar, it’s jaundice.
Kumeda often teases the author of Hayate the Combat Butler, but which one is in a higher position?
>>80
Kumeta is a seasoned veteran.
Recently, I saw some impressions of an anime, and it had a double meaning where “meccha light” means “super light” and also included “charai” inside it.
But once it has become a cheese steamed bun, it’s already… you know?
Even the Taipak people are disciples of the gorilla.
I don’t doubt the gorilla’s talent, but I don’t really think the next work will be a type that will be well-received either.
Well, if you’re tired, I hope you take a good rest…
Can a gorilla create something that surpasses the manga it drew?
But if I’ve already earned enough that I don’t need to do that anymore, then I guess it’s fine not to do it.
I think the one with the most influence is undoubtedly the gorilla.
Gorillas become so established in their style that they reach a point of decline, so it doesn’t happen very often.
