You can understand how to make manga with the theme in mind & the botched manuscript is also open to the public `` Gas shop !! '' Episode 4 making commentary

The full-color manga “ Gasya de~su!! ”, in which “ #Gas Girl ”, who is a first-year member of society, strives earnestly, is an author with a wealth of professional knowledge and knowledge and ideas about gas and gas stores. The story of Kyu, who has an obedient personality, repeatedly succeeds and fails as a rookie gas vendor, and challenges with all her might is a recommended point. For that reason, even during production, we are devising the story and how to show it while emphasizing such a theme, so we combined it with the making commentary of episode 4, 'Between Business and Humanity' , which clearly shows the important points of production. The initial name will also be released in its entirety.

The first page of the first draft of the 4th episode name looks like the following. Although the introduction of ``continued with an emergency call at the end of episode 3'' is the same as the final draft, the final draft is a phone call of ``the landlord who ran away at night'', while the initial name is ``stop the gas'' It is a complaint from a customer who was caught. In Episode 4, the story has changed significantly as a result of the meeting, but the original name was also interesting because there was a highlight, so I will explain it while releasing the whole.

2nd page. In the completed draft, which is the main part, the main problems were 'night escape' and 'delayed gas payment', but in the initial name, it is an episode of 'complaint about gas stop notice'.

3rd page. While explaining the 'gas stop notice', Arika, a senior of the main character, Kiyu, is responding to complaints.

Fourth page. By setting the phone to speaker mode, it was transmitted that the complaint was overheating, and Kyu reacted greatly.

Page 5. Kiyu, who is not accustomed to complaints, is nervous and in trouble, but veteran Arika responds with ease.

Page 6. A phone conversation follows.

The call ends on the 7th page. The result was that Arika responded completely without giving in to the opponent's momentum.

Page 8. According to the 'gas stop notice', we decided to go through the procedure to shut off the gas.

Page 9. Even in the main story, the key phrase of the episode, 'Gas is a lifeline but not a volunteer,' appears. It is an interesting point of view to make the comment, 'Because gas purchases are paid in arrears, delinquency is likely to occur.'

10th page. The complaint, which had a strong language, was said to be a drunken momentum.

On the last 11th page, the president looks at the harmonious gas company 'Hoshimi Life Equipment' and goes into recollection of the beginning of its establishment.

Since episodes 1 to 3 were mainly episodes of the main character, Kiyu, episode 4 is about 'complaint handling' in which senior Arika plays an active role, and episode 5 is a small-scale gas company to which Kiyu and Arika belong. The idea of delving into the roots of the company 'Hoshimi Life Equipment' was interesting. However, as a result of discussing the initial name with the author, four major problems and questions emerged.

The first point is that just 'handling complaints over the phone' throughout the episode is too calm compared to the various developments from episodes 1 to 3. A story that ends with just a phone call is interesting from a structural point of view, but the fact that the story doesn't move and the scene doesn't change can be boring. Therefore, first of all, in order to change the scene greatly, we added not only 'explanation about gas stoppage' but also 'on-screen movement' of 'Kyu actually working on gas stop at the site'.

Secondly, we considered what it would be like for Kyu to be completely out of the loop due to the story of 'Arika is the perfect answer to the phone'. From episodes 1 to 3, Kyu was completely the main subject, so the idea of focusing on other things was good, but even so, we had a meeting to increase the part of 'Arika's work seen from the perspective of newcomer Kyu' Now content. As a result, it became an episode in which Kiyu went to the site, and the appearance of a family member who was in arrears on the gas bill added a scene where Kiyu, who is unfamiliar with work but has a bright and energetic personality, came to life.

The third point raised was that the first page of the episode was the most read page, so they wanted to draw the reader's interest, but they weren't sure if they would enjoy the introduction of ``I received a complaint phone call''. point. As an idea to make people think, ``Let's turn the page because it looks interesting,'' ``Start with a ``newcomer there'' where Kyu gets flustered by answering the phone and asks a senior to take over,'' and ``Kyu reacts to the initial name one by one. However, it is interesting, so I will emphasize it.' Ultimately, the author said, ``I read back and thought that the story of the complaint was enough to pull the whole story,'' and on the first page, while showing the strong word ``night escape'' , and later revised to emphasize the theme of the episode, 'The gas station is a lifeline, but it is also a business.'

Fourthly, there was a question that the episode dealing with the complaints and the last story of the company's founding didn't match the story up to that point. Kiyu, who experienced a failure at work in episode 2, got overwhelmed, and in episode 3, he came up with an idea and got back on his feet. However, in the initial name of episode 4, that idea does not come out, and there is almost no movement of Kiyu. Therefore, based on the author's conception of future episodes, episode 4 was an episode that allowed Kyu, who came up with ideas for work, to reconsider 'work and customers' once again. It's a small episode as an incident, but it turns out later that it will be the catalyst for a big change in Kiyu's work in the future.

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
