Do you love the fast-paced entertainment of 4-panel comics and wish you could easily make your own? Or do you dream of becoming a mangaka, but just can't get your illustrations to look how you want them to? Of course, practice makes perfect, but why not check out this exciting new service?! On Thursday, June 23, Splout Ltd. released a web service that lets you make your very own 4-panel comics on your smartphone or PC, Rorororo!
■ What is Rorororo?
Rorororo is a web service that you can use to create your very own 4-panel comics on your smartphone or PC, just by choosing the basic elements. You can also post a 1-panel comic, or a series of 4-panel comics, and it's perfect for using to jot down memos, too. If you're wondering what's up with the name, in Japanese it's written "ロロロロ", which represents the panels of each comic. It also just has a nice ring to it!
Features
1. Just choose the basic elements, pop in some text, and you're good to go!
The characters and other illustrations that you can choose from are available anytime and anyplace, so pick your favourite ones and arrange them however you like to create a 4-panel comic. You can add whatever text you like, and you can also edit your text to be vertical, horizontal, or bold.
2. Upload your own materials and photographs on your PC
By uploading your own characters and photographs, you can use them in your own 4-panel comics as well as making them available to other users.
3. One user creates a theme, and other users finish the comic
Users can also create their own themes ("お題", pronounced odai, in Japanese) by leaving speech bubbles or the fourth panel of the comic empty. Other users can then use these themes and create their own endings, before posting them for everyone to enjoy.
