Manga Do you read 4koma manga?

[VampireLord1024VampireLord1024's icon]

I do enjoy reading 4koma manga, as it is quicker to read if you don't have much time to read manga during the day or night.

? 4koma pretty much means 4 panels on the right and left sides on a manga, sort of like this Hidamari Sketch manga:

I confess that my first contact with this kind of comic strip was through the Jump Susperstars game on the DS. I didn't know it until then, but I like this more condensed, punchy style of humor.

4Komas can be fine, I just gotta be in the mood to read them.

Unfortunately, one of my favorite series is an obscure thing that isn't even scanned so I have the physical volumes of it. Also, it's not translated.

This really reminds me of Lawak Kampus…it's not technically a manga but it has the 4 panels style
Ah the memories

I should read some more 4koma manga. I could probably count how many I've read total in one hand. The most recent ones I've read are Kinmoza and Comic Girls.

Nice, Hidamari Sketch! I saw the Hidamari Sketch anime and it's good stuff. I haven't read the manga, but the anime motivated me to buy two volumes of the manga which I have in my closet.

 

[Taukyrie]

Is that SD Gundam?

Yeah, it's a manga called SD Gundam Full Color Theater!

 

[RageBurner]

Yeah, it's a manga called SD Gundam Full Color Theater!

It's pretty cute!

 

[Taukyrie]

It's pretty cute!

It is!! I need to get back to translating it on my own, but I haven't had the time due to other things going on in my life!

If you're interested, I can link you where to buy the compilation volumes on Kinokuniya!

Thanks! but my reading backlog is as bad as my gaming backlog so it would go to the end of the pile even if I got them, haha.

I completely understand! My own reading and gaming backlogs are actually pretty bad too!

I've read a bit of Kinmoza, (watched both seasons and that's all, same with Comic Girls but never read its manga). The most recent 4koma I started is Nakahara-kun's Overprotective Sister, (Nakahara-Kun No Kahogo Na Imouto); I've seen up to Hidamari Sketch x Hoshimittsu Specials Episode 2 so far but am planning to start the Hidamari Sketch X SP episodes sometime this month. I do all of my reading online.

I do like 90% of my reading online. Also, do you have a favorite Hidamari Sketch character?

Yuno!

But I do like Miyako, Hiro, Nazuna, Nori & Yoshinoya too. Which are your favorites?

 

[bjork]

Azumanga Daioh was a pretty good one of these, thought I remember it having special chapters that were multiple pages. I think?

That Miya is fun to watch, always hungry too.

 

[AncientBehemoth]

Only if it's 1 joke per page. I hate it when they put 2 4komas on 1 page.

 

[Leifang]

Read Azumanga Daioh, was really good. Anything similar? I like Tomo being stupid.

Anything similar to Azumanga Daioh? I'd say Nichijou - My Ordinary Life.

The Nichijou anime was great! Easily top 3 slice of life, all time. I'd also add Pani Poni Dash! to the mix.

It's not based on a 4koma though? Neither is Yotsuba&! by Kiyohiko Azuma, but it's also really funny.

Pani Poni Dash! was pretty good, I watched it in 2021 and sorry, I wasn't sure that you meant a 4koma manga that's like Azumanga Daioh.

Maybe try Aho-Girl?

I need to read or watch Aho-girl! She reminds me of Miu in Ichigo Mashimaro (another great manga and anime similar to Azumanga, Pani Poni or Nichijou).

Yeah, I don't mind anime and regular manga recommendations, it's just I don't want to hijack your topic since it's about 4-koma manga.

I've watched & have read Aho-Girl and Yoshiko is very much an aho & funny banana girl for real. Miu in Ichigo Mashimario, (Strawberry Marshmallow), was straight up a brat. That's understandable, I'm ok with giving out anime & manga recommendations.
