``Gas shop!

The second episode of the full-color manga ' Gasya de!! ', in which Kyu, who has a bright and straightforward personality and who joined 'Hoshimi Life Equipment' as a new graduate, hits her job with all her might, will be released on May 24, 2023. We are updating daily. In the production of 'Gasya de~su!!', we created a name from the plot that was shared in advance in the text, and the name was 'Is it the right frame to tell the story', 'Is there a more attractive cut?' We are proceeding while brushing up in the form of consideration. For that reason, the making materials were a treasure trove of ideas for making a better work, so we will deliver such treasured production materials with a making commentary.

You can read the first episode by clicking the image below.

Read Episode 1, 'I'm Kayo Kiyu, a newcomer to the gas store!'

You can read the second episode from the following. Before reading the making commentary, please check out the main story.

'It's a gas shop!' In the second episode, first of all, a big change has been added from the first page. In the second episode, the episode 'carrying the gas stove to the buyer's house' is drawn, but on the left side of the image below there is a scene where it is suddenly carried, and on the right side of the image it starts with the narration of the main character, Kiyu. The first page of the manga is the most read page in the story, so the impact that begins with the sudden carrying scene and Kiyu's funny face is quite good, but the first draft name makes the whole story feel light. Therefore, I changed the page so that readers can keep an eye on it while making 'tame' first.

There was further consideration of ideas for the decision on the first page of episode 2. The image on the left below is drawn as the second draft, and 'the scene where Kyu wakes up in the morning' is drawn. Episode 2 is an episode in which Kiyu, who succeeded once in the first episode, fails once, so the idea is to create a bright atmosphere at the beginning. However, since the element of 'work' that was in the first draft was gone, the narration 'I'm a newcomer to the gas store!' What caught my eye was the page in the center of the image below. This was very good as the first page, but since it was a story that started with waking up, it became a mess as an introduction to the episode, so in order to put the whole thing in order, I used only the narration, like the image on the right below. It was decided by Kiyu who greets in the morning.

The image below is the scene that became a bot in the second episode. In the first draft of the name, the work started suddenly, and it was too easy from the introduction to the end, so I strengthened the pull on the first page. , a scene that foreshadows later failure” has been added. Each page had attractive cuts and a good tempo, but this time it was difficult to get to the main topic, so it was changed to smoothly enter the work scene.

Another point that was emphasized during the name production was the 'turn' part of 'Kishotetenketsu'. In the second episode, a scene is depicted in which a customer receives a complaint that the gas stove is damaged after the installation work is done. There is a piece that surprised Kyu when he found out that he had come. This is a scene that puts a damper on what has happened so far, and since this is a development where the reader will be able to say 'Yes' along with Kyu, Kyu's reaction will be conveyed in a large and solid way in order to cherish the matching of emotions there. It is changed to the shape of the image on the right that uses the whole page.

There was a behind-the-scenes story during the production of the episode 'Scratches on the new stove'. When I was reading the initial name, the editorial department pointed out, ``Wouldn't it make you feel uneasy after reading if you complained about a wound of unknown cause?'' So the author said, ``Mr. I added a cut that makes me think that it may be the cause of the hit. However, in this case, although there is a cause that ``Kyu's check is lax'', it is too much to blame for Mr. Bara despite the uncertainty, so ``the cause is unknown, but there is something the gas company can do.'' After making it a story that leads to the third episode, the focus of the episode is shifted from 'handling trouble' to 'Kyu's way of thinking about work' to improve the feeling after reading. By the way, according to the author who has a professional knowledge, when lifting and carrying in, there are cases where clothes with buttons and zippers are removed to prevent scratches.

The image below is also a bot cut of the second episode. The next day after dealing with complaints, there is a scene where Kiyu goes to work feeling depressed, but it felt like she was unreasonably in a bad mood. Added. In this way, instead of the scene of 'Kyu was worried and couldn't sleep', 'Kyu's worries' continued until the third episode.

The last page of Episode 2 is also adjusted with the same attention as the first page. The left side of the image below is the name that was first produced, and it is neatly closed, but I thought that ``it is a continuous story, so if it is too tight, it will end.'' So I added a cut that will continue to the next episode. The center of the image below is the second draft, but it was changed because it was as if a love story was about to begin when it was pulled 'I'm going to work with this handsome guy.' As a result, as shown on the right side of the image, 'I'll have the cylinder delivered!' I have a hunch.

In the future, in addition to pre-releases limited to GSC, we will also release treasured materials that show behind-the-scenes information and know-how, so please continue to support 'Gasya de~su!' If you have any other opinions or requests such as 'I want to see this kind of making with GSC
