So what is Komawari?
Paneling for manga is done in the same spirit of western comics: creating a smooth experience for the reader. “Koma” themselves are the panels. Komawari refers to the layout of the paneling as a whole, and its flow. From sandangumi to wakusen, there's a lot to cover in terms of manga techniques for paneling!

Edit: I'm so sorry for the sound quality with the audio barking and airy sound?? I have no idea what happened to it because my streams are nothing like this. I didn't think to check the sound beforehand, since I didn't change any settings before recording it. I did move my mic to a different spot, so maybe I need to adjust my gain and stuff since it's closer to my face now. I will do better next time. 🙏
