It's gonna be a nightmare to draw if I'm having this much trouble with just the scriptwriting. Basically, I'm balancing exposition with a fight scene, using a narration box as the fight progresses. Yet making an interesting fight is proving to be a challenge. I have all these cool scenes planned out in my mind for fights, yet they in practical terms would take a few panels at most to display, making the fights much shorter than they should be.
I mean, fights in manga last chapters, plural, more often than not. I'm having trouble dragging the fight I'm currently working on out, without it getting repetitive. How do they manage so easily to keep the fight interesting? I need to figure an answer out for that fast, since this is excruciatingly painful to deal with.
...Still, in spite of the forced progress, I have a fair idea of what I'm going for, and I think the finishing length after all the exposition will be at around standard manga chapter length, ~30-40 pages or so. (The 'episode' is basically broken up into three parts: fight, aftermath, and aftermath of the aftermath. Character exposition is for the fight, worldbuilding is for the aftermath, and a little bit of both with the hook ending is there for the final part.)
