If you were ever wondering how to use Kishōtenketsu, 4 act narrative structure, wonder no more! In this video I dive into detail about what Kishōtenketsu is, how it compares to the western "Three Act" structure, and why you should try Kishōtenketsu in your own work. From this you can see why so many professional mangaka incorporate this narrative structure into their manga.
Kishōtenketsu comprises of 4 major acts:
1. Ki: The story's introduction.
2. Shō: Development of the characters and main setting.
3. Ten: A twist, or complication in the setting established previously.
4. Ketsu: Conclusion. The conclusion reconciles Ten with Ki and Shō, resulting in narrative balance.
It can be tricky to figure out how to use Kishōtenketsu in your own work, but once you understand it you'll be able to see the narrative structure in all kinds of stories!
