Information AboutOne-shot (comics) |
|
In the Japanese Manga industry, the same concept is expressed by the term ''yomikiri'' (読み切り), which implies that the comic is presented in its entirety without any continuation. One-shot manga tells its entire story in 15-20 pages, usually written for contests, and sometimes later developed into a full-length manga series (much like a Television Pilot ). Many popular manga series that began as one-shot stories includes '' Hokuto No Ken '' ('' Fist Of The North Star ''), '' Naruto '', '' One Piece '', '' Berserk '' and '' Kinnikuman '' among others. '' Rising Stars Of Manga '' is an annual competition for Original English-language one-shot manga, many of which have gone on to become full-length manga series. Since the rise in popularity of online posting of prose fiction and poetry, which are often written in short chapters resembling comic book issues, the term "one-shot" has also become popular for describing self-contained works of electronic literature that are only a single chapter in length. |
