With 3 act story structure and KiShoTenKetsu, it always felt like I was missing some sort of integral piece to the puzzle that was creating a story. But, my eyes were open to the world of storytelling when I found out about the story circle. It's mainly used by screenwriters with film and tv, so there aren't many videos out there applying them to webtoons, comics, or manga. That's the reason I wanted to make this video, I want to share this super easy beginner's guide to the story circle and show how ALL STORIES FOLLOW ITS STRUCTURE.

But, the story circle is still only one piece of the puzzle. There are multiple elements that go into writing a story. However, I feel as though the story circle is the foundation in which all other elements sit upon. If story were a computer, the story circle would be the motherboard, stringing and connecting all aspects of story together.
