I'm glad you guys liked it!

I'm going to share the creation process, since you all seem curious, and I think it's interesting:

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.

I thought about doing this after the third chapter. It's quite likely.

i love the way the drafts look, can you upload the rest of them

read this manga while listening to "the low end theory" album kinda fire

i'm surprised you can listen to music with lyrics while reading, that's not a skill I have

BRO HOW DO YOU KNOW I WAS READING LYRICS WHILE LISTENING TO THIS AND ALSO READ THIS MANGA, ARE YOU A STALKER ?????!!!

what? no? I think you misunderstood it

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

oh sorry

I fucking knew it was too 3d, you were using a hentai game to make the characters

i kinda love this manga, but the 3d artstyle isn't my cup of tea

wait that's in aud it might be super cheap in brazil currency

nevermind

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

Let's try not to derail the thread, please.

you have nobody to blame but me if this ends up going south

by the time i wake up tomorrow i'm more than sure corne would've deleted everything, so you've got nothing to worry about

Draft (JUST SEE IF YOU'VE READ CHAPTER 2)

HEY, I SAID TO JUST SEE IF YOU'VE READ CHAPTER 2!

It's art.

Behrauder wrote:

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 read both back to back again today and didn't notice it at all.

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.

Here is a general idea of how to improve one page.

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.

How would I do that? It's 8 pages per chapter (plus an extra)... I don't do this 24 hours a day (at most, 12 when time is running out, lol).

The third 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



The manga reading order is from right to left, and top to bottom.

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.

yay very cool

oh

wait it's already chapter 3 ?????

Since it's a CGDCT, I wasn't planning on having a storyline. Do you think I should?

Thanks, I guess...

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

cute girls doing brainrot things

I'm not refuting because I don't watch that genre

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.

I've watched some CGDCTs, and I think it fits the genre (there are similar animes marked as CGDCT on MyAnimeList). Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so. But yes, the main focus is comedy.

I'm sure you're wrong

looking at MAL it's true that there are anime tagged as CGDCT that I would not consider CGDCT at all

Ok, I think I'll need to change the OP then.

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?

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

my tootie patoootie level is up by 10 levels

Basically, because of university, I'm moving to another city soon. My computer is there now, but I'm not. Because of that, I can't work on chapter 4 for about 3 weeks. Sorry...

np

damn sucks, moving can be tough

It's common for manga to be on hiatus.

Until next time!
