Since the publication of "Adventures of Sho-chan" written by Nobutsune ODA and illustrated by Katsuichi KABASHIMA and "Nonki na Tosan (Easygoing Daddy)" written by Yutaka ASO in 1923, the modern expressions such as layout of frames and speech balloons started to have popular usage.
1923年に執筆された織田信恒作・樺島勝一画の『正チャンの冒険』や、麻生豊の『ノンキナトウサン』以降から、現代の漫画に通じるコマ割りやフキダシといった表現手法が定着し始める。
