Taking into account the full reading of the OP, AND the first page of the manga, would you read the OT! manga? (Your vote matters)

I don't like manga, but this one is special, I'll read it.

I definitely can't say that with just one page (even if it is true, avoid this option)

Type: Manga
Volumes: Unknown
Chapters: Unknown
Status: Publishing
Genres: Comedy, Slice of Life
Themes: CGDCT (Cute Girls Doing Cute Things), School
source: Inspired by OT! (Off-Topic osu! forum)
Authors: Behrauder (Story & Art)
Synopsis:
Sametdze, Marco, and Serraionga are students at an all-girls school who have formed a storytelling club. They have fun together, exploring the ups and downs of high school while sharing their original stories. With a lot of references and appearances from other OT! members, their adventures are always exciting. Will a new member join their club soon?


As I don't want to dedicate all my time to this manga, and work non-stop 24 hours a day, I'm going to TRY to publish an 8-page chapter per month.

No artificial intelligence was or will be used in the manga creation process (it's good to clarify this, since it's me, lol).


⚠ 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.

I would like to know what you guys thought of this. Also, if you didn't like something in the manga, let me know now. I want tips and suggestions. ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

This isn't really criticism because idk what you're cooking but a few questions to do with writing:

1. What was you're thinking with making samet, Marco and serroinga the main characters? Also do the characters relate to the irl counterparts in any way, because I didn't really get any indication from the first page, just 3 anime girls that share the same name and maybe some design aspects. Granted it's just the first page though

2. Why a storytelling club, does it have something to do with OT? I feel like if you wanted to make a club out of OT, it would be something like a club that is filled with misfits that has absolutely no direction or purpose and they get up to crazy shenanigans all the time. Or is this more like an OT school and this is a club in it?

Really cool thread though, we're entering Valhalla with this one

Thanks for the clarification, now I can actually say that it's good art and I support this project.

i would read it, because you made it and it's for the off-topic subforum :)

the art is acceptably expressive and legible, no issues!! the writing and characterization, though... i dont know yet

given the nature of cgdct, and the way this manga introduced itself... it will need some help to remain interesting, and what i would want from it may not really align with the premise or genre. i think it would have to either introduce some sort of narrative substance through characterization to feel fulfilling, or it would have to rely on the absurd comedy it seems to be aiming for, which may not be as easy as it might seem

but i hope to be grateful for what you made. and if you make more, i hope that you or anyone else here will enjoy its creation. i would definitely visit again if it's updated, and i would be open to submitting more feedback when the time comes <3

(i might update the review later with more specific critique!! it should be in another post sometime tomorrow, if i remember to do that)

For those who voted that the manga looks bad, I would like you to explain why, so I can improve it. If it has to do with the size of the screentones (the little dots that are in all mangas, used for painting), changing it is the easiest thing.

I chose Marco and Serraionga because I like them and I know they won't leave the forum (look at how long they've been here), and Samet because he's the only one who somehow fits the personality that was missing. It's going to be a storytelling club so there's always something interesting happening, with different scenarios, etc. Serraionga should have portal powers in his stories, and Miku will be in Marco's stories. Each one will have a different storytelling style. As you can see, Marco seems to dislike violence in the manga, which is consistent with the Marco we know. In the stories I intend to mention past events about the forum and things like that, to always give a familiar atmosphere. That's basically all I've thought of so far. And I plan to add new people in the future.

I actually think the Manga looks pretty good, I dont know what people are on about.
Maybe their expectations are too high?

On a separate note, I think you should drop the overuse of honorifics, or change the names to actually match those honorifics.

For example, hearing "Serraionga-chan" is quite awkward and jarring, it just doesnt work.
Maybe a nickname like "Serri-chan"? Personally think it works a lot better (obviously you choose the names, I'm not the greatest at this stuff either, evidently).

Since no one said that the screentones are bad, I think I'll keep the style.

Putting it in BBcode is too obvious for me not to have tested it, it causes moire. but I can also do it as a complement, if anyone wants.

And yes, just like on the first page, they are all anime girls.

Thank you, you are helping me a lot! :)
People should not be afraid to say what they think...
I think I will stop using honorifics, unless it is a "-sama" or something that makes a difference.

The process of making it is cool, so unless college is really hard (I'm going to start it next year) and I have very little time, I'll continue the manga as long as I can.

Also, can you find these mangas? It would be interesting for me if I could see them, and the posts in these threads.

I mean, those are 'osu!' mangas, I think as long as OT doesn't just abandon this thread, this could have potential.

4 people will read it because they really think it will be good, 4 will read it but think it will be bad, 3 people don't like this style of manga, but they will read it, and two people will at least try to read it, totaling more than 80% of the votes (at least now), and only one person won't even try to read it.

These are good enough results to motivate me to do it, so it's confirmed!

In about a month (It could be more or less, but more likely less) the first chapter, expected to have 8 pages, will be released (it may seem like few pages for a long time, but it REALLY isn't). :)

Also, today I dreamed that Sametdze (one of the main characters) changed his osu! username, it was a nightmare really lol.

yeah 8 pages per month is actually a pretty good thing, consider that most mangas do release a chapter a month, yes those chapters are usually a bit longer but they're professionals

it would be funny if you include a person who has changed their osu name many times, and then have another character call them by one of their former names without realising lol

"hello canadian-baka!"
"who?"
"you!"
"i'm ashton now.."

05/12/2024: Attention, the first chapter of the OT! Manga Adaptation will be slightly delayed, but it is almost finished. Don't worry, I’m doing my best to work quickly while maintaining quality.

The focus of chapter 1 was just showing in a funny way that Samet likes trains. I think in the next chapter I'll probably focus on Marco or Serraionga, but I haven’t decided yet. With this manga, I realized that thinking about what 8 pages of a manga will be is actually very hard.

Did you like it? Do you have any suggestions for improvement?

now this is the advanced autism i wanted to see, my only suggestion would be to try making really intense scenarios instead of slice of life but thats a personal taste of mine. Making what you promised in time is really impressing so congrats dude

Hmm, I don't think I'll do that, but if more people say they want it to change, maybe I could consider it.

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 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
