man i'm not dressed like her... at least i'm qt :3

PEAK QUALITY

SEHRRRRRRRRRRRRRR GUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTT

i see... i think i like it, the punchline of them finding out they've worried for nothing landed well enough while still generally characterizing everyone (to different extents) and remaining light-hearted! the panelling is good, the use of screen tones has been good, scenes are given whatever visual aids they need in order to convey whatever emotions they need to, everything seems to connect reasonably well :>

if i could make sense of the "vibe" i've gathered from it, i'd describe it through a flavor... something like tomato and lettuce with a hint of fragrant orange zest-- mild and wet and leafy, with glimpses of a warm and sharp citric taste, i guess...? or a chilled ham sandwich, or something like that

idk, i dont have that much to add, and the things i'm interested in aren't really present in this (i haven't seen anything notable related to characterization or narrative substance that i'd pay attention to), but it still does what it came to do in classic cgdct fashion

Now all that's left is for Serraionga to post to complete the trio, lol.

sehr guht means very good in german

now that I have the full chapter, the general drawings feel very 3d, in many ways it feels like i'm watching kemono friends with the full 3DCG, which honestly I don't mind. Also, this seems to be entirerily episodic right?, that may be the best approach to this manga

AYOOOOOO

this is actually impressive ngl

I love it

peak

cubone cameo was peak

Very nice concept. A CGDCT with topics revolving around "off-topic" stuff. (Banger first panel)
Decent artstyle

Just some nitpicks...

1. It would be cool if there was an extra page (right after the cover page) on who those characters are/based on because I had no idea it was actually portraying real people. It would give context to new readers.
2. I'm hoping the comedy later on will have a little more "oompf" to it. The punchline at the end felt a bit awkward to end the chapter there.

Other than those, this has solid potential. Keep writing more

its alright

The second chapter of the OT! Manga Adaptation is out. Let me know your thoughts!

⚠ IMPORTANT THINGS, read carefully: ⚠

To see the manga, access it on a computer (not a cell phone), and set the zoom to 100% (it is not 100% by default). You should take these preventive measures to avoid the moire effect.

If you don't know what the moire effect is, it's when there is a strange unwanted pattern due to something to do with pixel overlap or something like that (which makes several manga look strange at some zooms other than 100%), but it is better explained here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moir%C3%A9_pattern

If you found chapter 2 very schizophrenic, I'm not sorry. That was the intention.

Did you like it? What did you think of chapter 2 in relation to chapter 1? I didn't know if my way of making the shadow on the characters' necks was good, so I decided to remove it and get your feedback on what is better.

i think chapter 2 was pretty good, i liked how nonsensical it was

i also liked the interactions between abraker and sametdze, i found it pretty funny

Be honest...
You were on something weren't you...
I am bamboozled...

Its pretty cool i like it

i'm utterly confused, still good, shoutout to the kemono friends artstyle, but what the fuck

Besides, did you pay attention to the license plate?

I expected to see the plate give an explanation as to why abraker is bald. And he totally should've been a teacher instead.


Also repeating myself from the other thread in case you haven't seen it.

You should switch to 4koma sometimes to regain motivation. It's easy to make, which results in more posts in between normal chapter releases. You also immediately see the results of your work without serious time commitment. Win-win.

baldbraker

i... actually really liked this chapter, it felt a little more interesting, although i don't know how to articulate why yet

it was easy enough to understand, or rather it seemed easy enough for me to believe i understood the course of events, it actually seems kind of linear to me with the exception of it revealing that those sequences are nested within one another, with maybe one point that seemed ambiguous until i read the note at the end (after i initially posted this)

ah the art, i forgot, i don't have many personally notable thoughts on it but i'd be a bit surprised if it happened to be fully and originally 2d. it seems like they were somehow made by arranging 3d models or 3d backgrounds, then drawn over with line tools in some way, and the ability to remain on-model with those designs is sort of impressive to me if that wasn't the case

either way, i find it vaguely charming even if not a style i would typically prefer :>

how did you make it so 3D and 2D at the same time imagine I was reading this high
good job though keep it up love it very cute, im going to make rule34 of abraker now

quite silly

also bald abarker

well that was weird lol

you say you listened to that album while reading

That album has lyrics

I was like "damn impressive you can listen to music with lyrics while reading"

I did not realize you were actively seraching the lyrics on google in the middle of reading the manga chapter

imagine him multi tasking though, in his ears he's listening to the album, his left eye is reading OT manga and his right eye is reading through the lyrics of the song, true giga chad

I'm glad you guys liked it!

he could've gotten a ticket to miku expo (if he converted it into USD) but he bought a gooner game with that money instead. at least he's using the game for good purposes and not professional gooner purposes

Feedback time:
The chapter itself was all right on the weirdness scale, I didn't get the ending until I read through your explanation, and that's mostly on how fast you transition between scenes and frames. You put in too much information in frames, so there are issues with pacing. You can fit a lot more than simple dialogues within a single frame: some hesitation, reaction and a lot more to have it more presentable and, I guess, personal to the reader?

And you absolutely should use visual space (as shown in my example below) to make the reader read at the exact pace you want him to read to deliver the moment just so it feels more "right". This way conversations flow more naturally.


Well, you do use these and other techniques sometimes, so my advice is to use it more often.

Interesting, I hadn't thought of that. I guess I'm not very good with these things. The first time I read a manga was about 4 days before I started creating chapter 1, just to get an idea of ​​how to do it. In fact, I only read a few random chapters of about 10 random mangas, lol.

I will try to implement this.

Oh, and the quality is only like that because you had to zoom out to take a screenshot of everything, right?

Yep.

Also while I was doing the example page I noticed she has her eyes open slightly.



Remids me of this lol

I had a feeling it was 3D from the get go, but that's an interesting style and process. Gives it some good character.

Did you like it? I’m thinking of creating an anonymous Google poll so people can give feedback without any hesitation.

omg the blue hair... it's her isn't she?

What innocent talented Brazilian we got here, unlike that dirty crime doing cartel over there named Polyspora

scyla oh god

wwhy is scyla more brainrotted than me in this

and what was with that looney tunes "get moved to A class trick" lol

just high school things

Nice, I can clearly see the improvement over the last chapters. Has it already been a month?
Would there be a storyline?

Also, two sighs sighted.

If I start a new chapter now (and I will), I'll definitely only finish it after university has already started, and I've never been to university before, so I don't know how difficult it will be or how much dedication is needed at the beginning. In this chapter, and especially in the next ones, expect releases to take much longer than a month. By the way, my course is Information Systems.

is it CGDCT?, they're not doing any specific cute thing. This is more a comedy school manga

What they're doing is inherently cute because they're cute girls.

Ymir wrote:

not how it works, for a manga to be CGDCT the girls must be heavily invested on a specific subject, most often than not joining the school club for that niche activity

I'm assuming he also didn't really get the criteria for CGDCT.

That or he's just trying stuff out, perhaps introducing a cast (?), before he gets on to the main story. It's only been 3 chapters after all.

Single chapter stories would work well. Both chapters 2 and 3 had the right idea to tie everything with the ending, but there's still not enough substance to plot itself.

Think of it like this way, since most of the interaction and storytelling happens in dialogues, the dialogues ARE the story. Meaning exposition has to be done there, everything they say has to be said for a reason.

For example, there are two character exposition points. Scyla says she's a large chest enjoyer and has a dream of amassing a harem. Both points go nowhere in the plot. You could have Scyla start his harem adventure by trying to impress Marco due to her having a rather large asset, and then her and samet exploit this by saying Class A is full of cuties. But seeing the principal, Scyla instead becomes her #1 fan and drops the harem idea completely.

Something like that.

Where exactly is it stated that the girls must focus on a specific niche? Is it just a personal take or something generally agreed upon?

Ymir wrote:

i would probably guess neither, in a sense... i do think you could argue for either, more likely the former, but i say "neither" because "personal take" seems like a very imprecise picture with some omissions of contexts that i imagine could justify how that definition of cgdct is being used

i think this is more a description of general observations in things qualified as cgdct, things that Happen To Define the media described by the genre rather than a commonly recognized necessity

to use something i imagine could be analogous, it might be a bit like how little features of linguistics could be defined within examples that colloquially mean something very loose and simple without necessarily being a complex deliberate Categorization (as in, using specific words that just happen to have a certain social or functional connotation, without trying/intending to identify the subjects/targets of those words as necessarily containing those connotations), except the ways in which those words or phrases are used would correlate with those categorized attributes and functions and effects, so if someone didnt catch onto how "normal" something is to say (as well as why that's "normal") and took something literally in a particular way, you might get a soecific definition of what something does that isn't really necessarily the stated or deliberate intent in saying it

...why am i abstracting this so much? it just doesnt feel direct... but i dont how to make what im thinking/meaning/saying into something more practical and concise;;

what i mean is, this is kind of like a wikipedia article on a thing that might define it by specific attributes, but people colloquially call a slice-of-life adjacent anime (with very similar casual comedic plots and personalities) without those core subjects of interest "cgdct" like how they might label a song's genre as "breakcore" instead of noting the attributes that might make it more historically similar to "jungle"

unsure if my suspicions are correct or applicable here, its more of something i would have intuited without really knowing what the definitive boundaries and qualities of cgdct are for myself, thats up to pata to answer i suppose

my reference for CGDCT is k-on, koisuru asteroid, DIY, hoshikuzu telepath, bocchi the rock, etc. It's something generally agreed upon
