What is
4koma?
From
Wikipedia's
Yokoma Entry:
Yonkoma manga
(4コマ漫画 "four
cell manga", or
4-koma for
short,) a
comic-strip
format,
generally
consists of gag
comic strips
within four
panels of equal
size ordered
from top to
bottom. Though
the word yonkoma
comes from the
Japanese, the
style also
exists outside
of Japan in
other Asian
countries as
well as in the
English-speaking
market.
Structure:
Traditionally,
Yonkoma follow a
structure known
as
Kishōtenketsu.
This word is a
compound formed
from the
following
Japanese Kanji
characters:
- Ki:
The first
panel forms
the basis of
the story; it
sets the
scene.
- Shō:
The second
panel develops
upon the
foundation of
the story laid
down in the
first panel.
- Ten:
The third
panel is the
climax, in
which an
unforeseen
development
occurs.
- Ketsu:
The fourth
panel is the
conclusion, in
which the
effects of the
third panel
are seen
