A big analysis of the webtoon production process

This time, which is the second installment of LINE Manga Presents Webtoon 101, we approached a method of expression unique to webtoons that are different from conventional side-reading manga (Click here for the first one). Planning, plot, character design, name, line drawing, coloring, etc. “How are webtoons different from manga production up until now?” It is one of the few contents where you can specifically understand it.

A webtoon that can immediately and directly reflect the voices of readers. “If it was a paper manga, there was an editor's barrier, and if I didn't go over that, I couldn't hear the voices of readers. Lee Hyeon-seok, the representative of “Red 7 Co., Ltd.,” says “The strength of webtoons is that you can post a work first and then make a decision after listening to the voices of readers.”

Furthermore, we also heard from Ryoko Fukunaga of the production company “SHINE Partners Co., Ltd.,” which first entered webtoon production in Japan, about the valuable story behind the production. The interviewer is voice actor Tokui Aozora, and the content is a must-see for fans.

You can quickly understand the unique points of webtoons

“A plot that makes you want to read the next one only because you need to attract one episode at a time”

“A careful explanation covering the short time spent on memory per frame”

“Coloring that makes use of the vivid backlight of a smartphone”

I understand the point of being able to express things like that only webtoons.
