- Today, I thought I'd take a look at what 4-koma manga is, the structure and a particular 4-koma series I'd like to see released in English someday.

Thank you for educating us!!!
No problem! Glad you liked it!
really interesting, thank you.
Glad to hear it!
It's bathroom reading material like newspaper comics
It would definitely work well since they're quick to read but, considering I collect manga, I'd be concerned about the hygiene! No one would ever want to pick one of my books up if I did that!
Cool, never heard of this before. It's very similar to the three act structure concept in the west, the channel Strip Panel Naked did a video on it, " Three Act Structure in Comic Strips". Your FMA manga example makes me wonder if the funny non-canon joke clips at the end of some anime episodes, like Naruto's keywords, were inspired by 4-koma.
Yeah, I remember people comparing it to three panel comic strips in the West. Maybe. I remember those joke clips but I can't remember if any of them are based on the 4-koma omake. Interesting point though.
Funny you mention newspaper 4-Koma because newspaper comic strips also follow a four panel structure such as Dilbert, Peanuts, and Calvin & Hobbes. So I’d say anyone that loves koma would check out some collected newspaper comic strips and vice versa.
When I was doing research, it seemed that older Peanuts comics were 4 panel before switching to 3 panel later on. Is that true and does it also apply to other comics like Dilbert and Calvin & Hobbes?
do you know of any 4-koma manga that are not comedy?
That's a very good question! I wasn't able to think of any so I tried looking it up. There may be a few but, if there are, I don't know any specifically. The format is structured for comedy and it's quite likely that mangaka would go for the standard format if they aren't making a comedic series. Still, if you find any, please let me know as I'd be extremely intrigued!
