How to make the theme of manga stand out & you can also understand the cautions of color manga `` Gas shop !! '' Episode 3 making commentary
The 3rd episode of the full-color manga ' Gasya de~su!! ', in which Kyu, who has a bright and straightforward personality, struggles as a '
You can read from episode 1 to 3 at once!
Read Episode 1, 'I'm Kayo Kiyu, a newcomer to the gas store!'
Read Episode 2 'Efforts to 100%'!
Read the pre-release of Episode 3 'What you can see beyond the cylinder'!
In the production of the third episode, major changes have been made from the first page. Episode 3 is a direct continuation of Episode 2, so it is necessary to convey the situation from the previous episode well, but to avoid overexplaining it when reading it. Also, since the first page is the first page that most people read, the theme of the episode should be made clear so that they don't think that it's a story that they don't understand well. 'It's a gas shop!' The first page of episode 3 looks like the following.
In the first draft of the name, the introduction of the third episode was like the image below. The first page is on the left side of the image, 'Kyu who raises the tension on the delicious signboard', and the second page is the door where the title is displayed, but it is the content that says 'I will work on cylinder delivery'. 'Gasman' is strongly connected to cooking, so you may be attracted to delicious phrases and smells while working, but here, 'I made a mistake in my work in the second episode.' Kyu, who has experienced and is a little depressed, will be revived in the work of episode 3.'

Some of the following pages have been revised from the first draft. First of all, in the first draft, I show how to start work at the beginning, and then show the process until the work starts in the recollection. It is very good to show an interesting picture first and then explain it, but if the chronological order goes back and forth too much, it may be confusing to read, so this time I will show the interesting elements in chronological order first. I compressed the content and put it on the first page so that I could put it out from. In addition, a depiction that expresses Kiyu's emotions more strongly has been added to Kiyu's reaction to being told 'I will do the next job'.
The image below is a cut that was rejected due to the above circumstances. Originally, it was expressed that ``I am dragging the failure of the second episode'' only with Kyu's expression here, and it was pointed out that ``the expression here is very good.'' Therefore, in order to emphasize this panel where the theme of the episode appears, the front and back pages have been changed to convey Kiyu's tension in a more explicit manner.
The following page is easy to understand with the corrected name. Until then, the mental state that had been implied by a dark expression and a sulky tone is now clearly shown through Kiyu's mouth. In addition, in the first frame, Kyu, who has a clear and dark expression, naturally raises her head while working with energetic colleagues and new work, which is well devised.
Another point that has changed significantly from the time of the name is the page of 'Knowledge about the work of the gas store'. Each episode often describes some kind of information about the gas station, and the ideal here would be 'You can enjoy the story without reading it, but it's more interesting if you read it because you'll get some trivia.' Therefore, the name on the left of the image below has a lot of characters, and it was difficult to understand what you wanted to convey with just a diagram. Therefore, I reduced the amount of information a little and changed it to a form that is easy to convey. As a result, due to the author's ingenuity, instead of skipping the gas laws, it naturally entered the episode in the form of ``Kyu, a beginner, taught by an experienced person like a quiz.''
In Episode 3, we also paid attention to the expression of colors and made corrections. The following images compare the 4th page of the 3rd episode, the left is before correction and the right is after correction. In a color illustration, if the background
The same is true for the following pages. Before the correction on the left, the first frame was ``dark orange cylinders and dark green grass'', but after the correction on the right, it was ``dark orange cylinders and light green It has been adjusted to 'grass'. Again, if the cylinder in the foreground and the background, which I want to make stand out, are both bright, they will look flat, so I reduced the saturation of the background to create a three-dimensional effect.
The same color ingenuity is reflected in other frames, such as the part where the pattern background is too dark and the part where the sky blue was too dark and conspicuous. As you can see, since this is a full-color manga, you also need to pay attention to the colors.
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
