I wonder if there aren’t many people who draw?

I thought so, but there aren’t many doujinshi for detective stories either.

I guess the hurdle for drawing is high after all.

>>3

The preferences are diverse in this genre, so it might be quite challenging.

“I want it to look like Gundam.” “Don’t make it look like Gundam.” “I want it to be life-sized.” “Make it feel massive.”

“Make it realistic, don’t make it look like a toy.” “Heroic robots that look like toys are good, right?”

And various other things.

In battle scenes, you have to illustrate the internal mechanics of the damaged areas, so you need someone passionate about that or someone with the skill to cleverly hide such details in order to depict it completely.

If you do it without considering that aspect, there’s a good chance you’ll end up with a ridiculous image.

When I draw robots, this mostly comes out as Gundam…

There is an impression that only “well-known popular titles” are successful in the robot genre.

>>8

Rude.

“Even if it’s a widely known popular title, whether it sells as a manga is a different matter.”

>>12

Furthermore, by not using Gundam or Macross, we would lose even more opportunities.

Detective stories have a very high hurdle because the plot needs to be constructed quite well.

>>9

In modern times, most incidents are resolved with smartphones and the police…

>>9

Sid… Futo Detective…

>>15

Is it a story that someone could criticize?

>>15

Sid is a bit scary at the end of the volume, and Fuuto Detective is wearing geta as a Kamen Rider.

>>19

Is that the reason that shows how poorly it was done?

It’s a robot action that thrives on movement, but expressing that movement in manga is extremely difficult.

There are definitely some who succeed and get their works animated.

>>17

A work like Knights & Magic, which was adapted from a web novel to a book, then to a manga, and finally to an anime, can be said to have been incredibly fortunate in terms of connections and luck.

>>20

The inclusion of fantasy elements and the appearance of people of all ages and genders in giant robots makes the animation difficulty extremely high.

It’s not that there aren’t robot manga, you know.

Even now there are quite a few like the two from the Hero series, the one by the JINKI people, and Buddy Universe.

>>18

Unless it’s something that involves intellectual property or is done by a well-known author.

I guess it’s quite a difficult genre.

Since there are few people who can draw properly, the same person is endlessly overused in this genre.

>>22

I suppose it means that even if a newcomer draws, nobody pays attention to it.

>>22

I think there is something similar to how the design elements of the cute girl + mecha genre tend to consist of the same members.

When it comes to recent manga robot origins, it’s Suisei.

Only a part of the mystery is a detective story.

Detective stories are not mysteries.

It’s common to have something that’s a mystery but not a detective story, or a detective story that’s not a mystery.

It’s an old manga, but I’ve been captivated by Break Age all this time.

>>31

I wonder what happened to the anime adaptation plan…?

Kindaichi… when I think about it, that wasn’t really a detective manga.

Recently, I’ve started a new job and became a detective, so it will turn into a detective manga.

>>32

Ah, if that’s the reason for the genre categorization, then it’s my fault.

I should have said “mystery manga.”

Recently, I’ve quite liked Knights & Magic.

Wanting to draw mecha, wanting to draw robot action, and wanting to draw manga are each separate skills and different interests.

There are simply few people who have everything at once.

Linebarrels is a duo of authors who draw robots and characters.

The image is that robot manga was the exclusive domain of Bonbon, but it has died out now…

Are there really not many people drawing robot comics in doujinshi or web manga?

I can only think of something like Ishiyumi.

>>40

Snowball Earth and so on…

>>52

Ah, I see, “WEB manga” would include commercial ones as well.

I should have said it was a comic drawn by an amateur on social media.

>>56

Isn’t it good for an amateur work?!

Nights Magus

There are many comic adaptations of robot anime.

If it’s anime, creating a CG model means you won’t need to draw it every time, but with manga, it’s unavoidable…

>>30

The comic adaptation does a good job.

In the first place, robot battles have overly strict settings and stage constraints.

It comes down to a choice between war or a Gundam fight.

Both are influenced by Gundam!

>>46

The Mazinger direction is also possible!

>>63

Isn’t the lineage of Super Robot Wars almost dead along with the Brave Series?

It’s not related to the thread, but I wonder if Shibamura could write another isekai robot war story…

I think many people with a simple interest in mysteries tend to gravitate towards novels.

I think having no original work and just drawing mysteries in manga would significantly reduce it.

The person who licked bread was also someone who could depict high-quality robot action, though…

Also, the person who will draw the next Godzilla manga was drawing an original robot manga in Magapoke.

>>47

I don’t need to hold back, so I’ll let it go.

Even with the Gundam name attached, it can still flop spectacularly at times…

Thinking that simply using the name Gundam will sell is too optimistic.

Discussions about FSS tend to not happen much in robot manga threads.

>>57

It’s already like being inducted into the hall of fame.

>>57

Believers say that they are not robots…

>>66

The author is saying it’s a super robot…

>>72

Wasn’t it just one robot that was explicitly stated?

Moreover, the fact that it is a robot makes it feel special.

>>57

That feels like it’s already categorized as FSS…

What was that title again… the one where a character like the protagonist dies early on?

>>60

Maybe it’s Nadeshiko.

Shimizu x Mizuguchi is quite a rare existence… they hit it big with their original robot manga.

I wish they would make a more old-fashioned robot story.

Something like Armored Trooper Votoms or Dougram.

>>62

Is it the Koubu from Sakura Wars?

By the way, is Dougram a bit outdated?

>>62

Things that are uncool or clumsy are labeled as such because they don’t gain popularity.

>>62

If you’ve seen the main story, I don’t think the words “clumsy robot work” would come to mind…

If we’re talking about design, it’s just a different direction from the current slim trend.

There aren’t many people who can draw manga where mechanical devices, not just robots, are the main focus.

It was on Narou.

In places like Pixiv or Comitia, you often see non-human piloting types.

There is currently a manga featuring a robot as the main character being serialized in Jump.

It’s not everything, but there is quite a bit of battling.

“A robot manga drawn by a complete novice basically doesn’t exist.”

A genre that can only be released after the second work of someone who has already sold once or is related to copyright.

It feels like that.

>>73

Zero Croitz was quite a bold past story spin-off, wasn’t it…

>>80

It’s quite unreasonable that none of the main characters appear in a story that’s supposed to be set in the past.

The main story elements finally appear in Angel Feather.

>>73

If there exists an absolute rookie who has the super design power and drawing ability to make robots move vigorously…

With that kind of power, I think people will wonder, “Where did you pop up from?!”

>>96

It is something that only appears in commercial contexts.

There are basically no cases where someone without professional experience is drawing in doujin.

FSS is just too confusing to understand…

The times and stars change, and it’s hard to distinguish the characters…

I personally think that robot shows are enjoyable because they fight with a good background music and make clashing sound effects.

If it’s the genre of cyborg manga or android manga, there should be a bit more.

I think there is also a part where people who want to draw mechanical or sci-fi manga deliberately choose not to draw difficult giant robots.

I feel like it could work with Ootagaki or an original robot.

Doesn’t a powered suit system count as a robot?

Red Eyes, etc.

Aldnoah did its best, but the second season…

>>86

Was that based on a manga?

I want you to draw something original, but Hachibou seems like it will go down with Super Robot Wars…

>>87

The people who designed them really look like robots or horror monsters, don’t they?

Gōbu is more on the cute side, rather than being unsophisticated.

Sakura Wars is based on gal games and sentai themes.

If we’re talking about a robot fighting something gigantic, then it could be something like a Sentai Red…

DOG LIFE & DOG STYLE was very good.

>>92

It feels like Front Mission, but not quite…

Dagram can finish its conversation even without robots.

I see, I really liked chubby robots.

It’s about authors who are quickly putting out robots in their manga adaptations without much thought, typical of the Narou genre.

It often comes through while reading that drawing seems really tough.

>>99

The mob characters retired after finishing the chapter…

>>109

I’m sorry…

If you just want to design an original robot, be a designer.

If you just want to draw robot action, you’re an animator.

It feels like a game that wants to show a world with robots, and there are various paths for creators who love robots.

There were two Rockman manga serialized, but there was little battle in those.

I wonder if Powered Doll could become a manga in the latest Reiwa edition.

I feel like I don’t really want to call something like a magic-woven golem a robot.

The battle scenes in Escaflowne are amazing, but the direction feels somewhat different.

>>103

It’s a big armor, isn’t it, Escaflowne?

>>103

I think that interpretation is correct in a way because it feels like knights are performing sword fights at a giant robot scale.

Simply put, unlike anime, robot action doesn’t stand out in manga.

>>104

This feels like a transformation superhero story.

>>110

That’s just a lack of drawing skill.

>>110

I feel like expressions occupy a large part of what makes a manga.

On the contrary, the heaviness of the mecha is hard to understand without a movie.

>>104

Whether it’s someone in armor or a robot fighting, nothing changes except for the size feeling…

>>126

At least I want them to include more scenes of the cockpit operations.

There are overwhelmingly many Gundam, but if you search, you can find things like Super Robot Wars, Code Geass, and Knights & Magic.

It’s hard because we have to set a world where robots can be deployed so it doesn’t feel cheap.

I wonder if Eleven Soul will be animated…

The magical girl warrior Armored Core was amazing, right?

>>113

Because Issei Hyōju is the one drawing, the protagonist’s breasts are amazing.

I remember that.

Isn’t Full Metal Panic doing something new for the younger generation now? I’m not sure if there will be robots appearing.

>>115

Well, in novels, the author doesn’t do the robot design… although there are exceptions, but those are extreme exceptions.

It’s a hassle to draw, and it’s not really popular after all…

I kind of understand robots, but transformation types are supposed to just be an extension of abilities, yet their success rate tends to drop quite a bit.

>>120

It’s inconvenient not to be able to recognize people’s faces.

I hope the design after transformation is cool.

Shall we do it… Metal Build Pretty Cure…!

I was reading Full Metal Panic from high school to working life.

Knight’s & Magic originated from Narou (a web novel), but it was adapted into a manga and an anime, and Good Smile Company even established a dedicated brand to release several figures, so it was quite favored.

>>124

Bandai also released a 3D model and played promotional videos in stores.

Powered suits and life-sized robots tend to fall into the category of heroes.

I really want to separate it from the giant robot.

Nightsma was a comic adaptation SSR, after all…

I feel that robots and transforming heroes need sound, which makes them somewhat incompatible with manga.

I want to spread the popularity of the Transformers comic I’m currently serializing, even to those who aren’t TF fans.

In Magic Knight Rayearth, you won’t have any robot battles until the very end in the second one…

Once it becomes two, it will be quite something.

>>138

That started by incorporating the context of an RPG into a manga, so it was too much of a surprise that the demon god is a giant robot…

I think it would be nice to have a traditional-style robot like ◯◯ in an anime… I wanted to provoke that idea, but there really isn’t such a work.

In videos, robots and transformation heroes can express emotions through voice, but in manga, their faces are not visible, so there’s a limit to what can be conveyed with just speech bubbles.

It’s a robot from Takara Tomy.

https://www.corocoro.jp/title/494

It’s not Bu-kya that’s obsessed with Knights & Magic, but Good Smile’s Mecha-Soma…

I liked the Hero Squad in Magazine Pocket.

I’m currently depicting a spin-off of the interstellar nation.

>>133

Good…

I heard that a garage kit was released at Wonder Festival, so I hurried over, but I gave up when I saw it was 40,000 yen…

That’s nice, isn’t it?

Expression

The Hero Agency is fine with that robot thing, right?

For example, Armored Core 6 is a robot-themed work and the characters are well-received.

It seems difficult to do that in a manga.

There was a time when magazines from the Magazine series were oddly pushing robot manga like Bastard and Sakura Brigade.

I find Yuichi Hasegawa’s art too much like a shonen manga, and I’m not fond of it.

I can’t believe they are the same person as Kurobon and Seabook.

>>151

Let’s broaden our horizons a bit more and have some fun.

I like the Snowball Earth from Spirits.

I can only think of Linebarrels and Break Blade.

It’s erotic.

To make this world a flower.

Recommended erotic robot manga.

Has the artistic style like Kazuhisa Kondo died out?

I won’t ask for much in terms of the TRPG’s game adaptation and anime adaptation, just make it at least as good as Cyberpunk 2077.

Iron Line Barrel was personally quite good for me… I’m buying the manga volumes.

The greatest disciple Kenichi’s work… or so it seems, but in reality, the master did almost all of it.

The Celestial Blue Orbit Alvadoring was great for balancing both eroticism and robots.

Was it a misunderstanding like in ZOE or a manga?

As for models, I really like Maschinen Krieger and such…

Recent robots have a lot of information, so drawing them is probably just plain tedious.

At least some fantasy stuff.

I wonder if there will come a time when amateur-drawn comics flood social media.

Is it impossible?

>>165

It’s a genre where a lot of criticism comes flying in, you know───

>>166

It’s the field of the self-proclaimed experts who are well-versed with their mouths but don’t lift a finger.

>>170

(Post comments while posting copyrighted images of existing works and listing “my preferences”)

>>166

Ah, it might just be filled with those awful replies like “You didn’t do xx, do it again.”

I’m really grateful that the creator puts so much effort into drawing the Super Robot Wars manga.

I want to draw the genre of manga I originally depicted again.

>>167

Excellently wasted and pleasantly erotic!

I really like the person I love, but there’s not much demand…

And if it also incurs drawing costs… and for realistic styles, you also have to deal with people who want to talk about SF theories.

It is natural that there is a difference in the way animations that can actually move and mangas that are read as still images are drawn.

In that sense, I think Yuichi Hasegawa is one of the correct answers.

It’s tough that Break Blade was thrown without me realizing it.

In recent years, Battleground Workers is a masterpiece.

In a modern Japanese-style world, pilots remotely operate robots located in developing countries from Japan.

The pilots who ride robots are all people who couldn’t work properly and are treated as laborers for the failures.

Since we are using dangerous technology for remote control, the pilot could die in the worst case if the machine fails, and there is a limit to how many times we can forcefully disconnect.

It can be said that only mass-produced machines come out, and there is no room for customization in the aircraft (since it is not the pilot’s personal belongings).

>>172

If I were to say it in a roundabout way, it seems like the person I like really likes me.

Before I knew it, the Mazinger battle royale was over…

Even Gundam, which has gained citizenship, is still… other than the First, it’s all secondary creations for profit… things like that keep coming up.

I wonder what the deal is with that Korokoro guy.

The calories from writing with a robot become a hurdle, you know.

AI, do something about it.

It’s not recent at all, but Knights of Sidonia was a great robot manga.

>>179

It was good even until the anime, so I recorded it live.

I’m eternally burned out by the manga Medarot.

Even that fantasy, which is easy for amateurs to enter, gets tedious when they start complaining, so when it comes to something beyond that…
