The 8th episode of 'It's a Gas Shop!!' is an episode in which Kiyu learns a new job by accompanying the company president's remodeling job, and the second half is about the gas exhibition, which is an important point in the story. The scene depicts going to a meeting. In the latter half of the scene, Kiyu meets Mitsuki, a young lady who achieved great results last year, who is both a major goal and a barrier for Kiyu, who is struggling with planning a gas exhibition. Mitsuki, who seems to have a crush on Kiyu's colleague Iga-senpai, appears bright and smiling.



However, in the initial names below, the form of encounter was very different. Kiyu moved in a hurry and bumped into the back of a woman who was drinking a drink, causing the woman to spill her drink.



That woman is the new Mitsuki. As for spilling the drink, he said, ``It's just carbonated water, so it's not a big deal,'' but he asked, ``When did this place become a playground for children?'' and ``It's not because I'm not conscious of being a member of society. ?” It was a very bad first contact.

After that, Kiyu tried to settle things peacefully, but Mitsuki remained cold towards him. Kiyu finally gets angry at Mitsuki who says, ``Isn't there something wrong with Hoshimi-san for hiring a child like this?''



The person I am now is ``the person that my stargazing friends recognized,'' so to be made fun of is like being belittled by an important friend. A confrontation between the angry Kiyu and Mitsuki, a young lady from the gas world, is established. The initial idea for the name was to continue with the tense confrontation until the actual gas exhibition began.



Mitsuki's character design created when creating the name.



Mitsuki, who appears in the character design and in the preview at the end of episode 7 that says, ``An intense encounter is waiting for me!'', still has the cold impression of her initial name. From this point on, Mitsuki's character changed significantly when the main story was published, but it was pointed out that this was not Mitsuki's problem, but Kiyu's problem. In general, readers often hold values such as

the Just World Hypothesis , such as ``If you do good things, you will get good results, and if you do bad things, you should be punished.'' In this episode, it's 100% Kiyu's fault for looking away and bumping into her, so even if Mitsuki's attitude toward it is somewhat cold, at the end, Kiyu gets angry and says, 'No, isn't Kiyu's fault in the first place? ” You will feel that. Therefore, we decided to change the flow by either ``making Mitsuki sound bad enough that she feels justified in being angry'' or ``changing the way they meet and the impression they give.''



Therefore, in the second draft of the name, Mitsuki's personality and the way she met him were made much milder. The main reason for the mild tone is that, according to the author, ``Mitsuki is the daughter of a company president who is one year Kiyu's senior, and although she may be a little high-handed, she is someone who cannot handle getting angry at a gathering of people from the gas industry.'' It can't be true.'' In the first scene of the second draft, Kiyu is briefly framed with Mr. Inui, whom he met at the class in episode 6, amidst all the chaos.



Then, when I turned around, Kiyu and Mitsuki collided head-on.



In addition to the fact that both of them collided due to their carelessness, Mitsuki's character became more like an elegant young lady rather than a cold one, and instead of being in a 'severe mood' it felt like a 'strange commotion ensued.'



In an attempt to calm down the commotion, the union leader's uncle suggested, ``Why don't we settle the situation by competing at a gas exhibition?''



In the second draft, the unpleasant feeling that was in the initial name was gone, but the impression of Mitsuki as ``Kiyu's wall that stands in the way at the end of the story'' has weakened as it has been made milder. He shows his cleverness by proposing to take advantage of the union leader's slightly off-topic proposal, but at first glance it just says, ``I ended up having to compete with someone I bumped into by chance.'' Therefore, in the final draft, the encounter with Kiyu is normal, but by having her introduce her as ``the triple crown queen at last year's gas exhibition,'' her character is established as a high ``wall'' rather than a bad ``enemy.'' did.



Furthermore, according to the author, who is familiar with the profession, because gas companies are stable jobs that serve as a lifeline, other housing-related companies have the impression that they are ``stability-oriented and don't take on challenges.'' Taking advantage of this, Mitsuki takes notice of Kiyu, a newcomer with a 'new idea,' and proposes a plan to change the entire gas shop, creating a clever 'conflict between Kiyu and Mitsuki.' doing. In this way, the author's ability to enhance the characters while also making the story more interesting is evident, so please pay attention to Kiyu and Mitsuki's future activities and support them.
