Q: Was it planned from the outset that Rg Veda was a long series?
R (Ohkawa): No. First draw up a oneshot "South", then three times posted something about "Wings" just to feel the audience reaction.
D: Pretty hard, right?
R (Ohkawa): No, it's a normal procedure for a trade magazine. We also intend to propose another story, because we wanted to avoid "Seiden" in the meantime is interrupted. But the drafting of the project and was convinced he wanted to carry it forward. The first episode was "The Feast of the 7 stars," then came "The rebirth of Ashura."
R (Igarashi): There was always the possibility of concluding everything with "And so they continued their journey .." or something like that. However, since receiving the result was good, we were able to move forward.
Q: There were other conditions for continuing the series?
R (Nekoi): Oh, sure (laughs). After the publication of the first volume was discussed by a party who absolutely had to be clarified before proceeding. But overcoming these obstacles, there were no other special requests ..
Q: So Rg Veda became a rather long one. Surely new difficulties emerged ..
R (Ohkawa): What we created the greatest difficulties was the typesetting of texts, particularly one that inclu-character names. The names were written in characters so unusual and easy to confuse, that even we would have found it difficult to become famous if we had similar names (laughs).
scrupulously assess the name of each character and we always complain: "But why should this character have a name so difficult ...!?" (Laughs)
R (Igarashi): And to think that we had him saddled us, that name! (Laughs)
R (Ohkawa): The kanji were sometimes so difficult that the editor said, "But you could write it in katakana?". But first I could not imagine it sounding names in a simple syllabic script, so finally we had to continue to tolerate our Chinese characters. (Laughs). But I can understand the concerns of the chief editor ...
R (Mokona): Those of the graphics department always had problems with our nets. Then there were also market high value graphic manga like "Bastard" by Kazushi Hagiwara rather successful even doing very little use of nets. So they used the time .. Our request to use nets became a rather serious.
R (Ohkawa): So the artists met all these difficulties. The work required more time. Ashura and the others wore suits and detailed a series of ornaments with all those lines .. you could not do without the retina (laughs).
R (Nekoi): The problem of screens is that when you start, then you can not help it. At first we tried to hold us back, but then we could not stop .... We
exaggerated, especially in the middle of the series ..
R (Igarashi): It 's the fault of the retina of our manuscripts were unreadable mess (laughs).
R (Mokona): Not only were the screens to give us problems. When his debut did not even know how to realize the backgrounds. How could one fill in the blanks? Every time we had to experiment ..
R (Nekoi) and so each time the backgrounds were so different .. (laughs)
[Actually what disturbs early works Clamp, type Mouryo Kiden, is the lack of backgrounds, the scene is focused only on the characters, there is a vacuum behind, the darkness .. gives a little 'a sense of desolation, but glad to see that even great writers have had to start from the bottom .. it's reassuring! >. <)
R (Ohkawa): Sometimes we do it in three days, sometimes after a week we had not finito.Disegni now completed in a day, then there also required 5.
R (Mokona): drawing, .. but ended up never! (Laughs). If it is a doujinshi, the artist himself to settle the times: you can always defer and work at something until you feel like it!
But when you work for a Major, must remain within predetermined times. Until it has acquired the sense of time, it was terrible.
And then there was the question of randezza boards .. Of course when I shopping for a newspaper, should be larger.
R (Nkoi): The problem then was really fill in the blanks. And when we face each time those tables was a huge shock. Looking back, I realize that sometimes we just filled all of color, without thinking, if he was okay or if you could still tell something .. (laughs).
