# four-panel
四格漫画 - Strict 2×2 grid, single-page story
## Panel Structure
- **Panels per page**: 4 (exactly, no variation)
- **Structure**: Strict 2×2 equal grid
- **Gutters**: Consistent white space (8-10px), uniform on all sides
## Grid Configuration
- 2 columns × 2 rows, all panels identical size
- Panel sizes: Exactly equal (each panel = 25% of content area)
- Reading flow: Z-pattern — Panel 1 (top-left) → Panel 2 (top-right) → Panel 3 (bottom-left) → Panel 4 (bottom-right)
## Narrative Structure
Each panel serves a specific narrative role (起承转合 / kishōtenketsu):
| Panel | Position | Role | Purpose |
|-------|----------|------|---------|
| 1 | Top-left | 起 Setup | Establish situation, introduce characters/problem |
| 2 | Top-right | 承 Development | Build on setup, add complication or attempt |
| 3 | Bottom-left | 转 Turn | Twist, key insight, or reversal — the pivotal moment |
| 4 | Bottom-right | 合 Conclusion | Resolution, punchline, or takeaway |
## Aspect Ratio
- Recommended page aspect: **4:3** (landscape)
- Landscape gives each panel a comfortable wide rectangle
- Portrait (3:4) makes panels tall and narrow — avoid for this layout
## Best For
Business allegory, quick-insight education, social media comics, fables, parables, single-concept explanation
## Best Style Pairings
