◆Take a sneak peek of the main story! 'It's a gas shop!' Episode 4 outline
As a new graduate member of society, Kiyu joined the gas company Hoshimi Seikatsusei through some chance. Gas is an essential “lifeline” for people to live, so even if you are a newcomer, you cannot afford to let your guard down. With his inherent seriousness and dedication, Kiyu will do his best to work at the gas company.

It's a job that deals with lifelines, so when things go well and people thank you, that's all the more satisfying.

However, because it is a job that seems to be close to life, the responsibility and damage when it fails will be great.

After making a big mistake at work for the first time, Kiyu is devastated, but gradually recovers through new work and interaction with customers. Then, I had an idea that would be a big turning point for Kyu.

Just as I recovered from my depressed feelings, I received a phone call. Because it's a job that deals with lifelines, trouble doesn't wait. And just because it's a lifeline doesn't mean it can be provided by volunteers. The first time Kiyu encountered a job was a 'night escape' incident.

And one more case, the gas stops because you can't pay the gas bill. Even if gas is necessary to live, you can't use it unless you pay for it. Such a common sense and a trivial task for Kyu that will be repeated many times from now on. This will mean a lot to Kyu.

The manga pre-release that can read the continuation to the end is from the following.

◆Materials limited to members A sneak peek of the costume design and the main story page under construction for members only!
The manga “Gasya de~su!!” is notable for its realistic and detailed depiction of “Gasman’s work” by an author with professional experience, but one more thing that I would like you to pay attention to is the “costume design”, which shows the author’s particular attention to detail. In the past, I introduced some of the costume designs in the ' Title Logo & Costume/Stage Design Making' section , but I've got the data under construction for the upcoming 'Gasman Uniform/Summer Uniform Version' and 'Private Clothes', so I'll share them with GSC members only.

The image below is a new uniform for Kiyu designed as a ``gas shop uniform / summer uniform version''. In the first episode, the story of 'Gasya de~su!!' is spring, when Kiyu has just started working as a new graduate, but from episodes 4 to 5, summer begins in earnest.

Various color variations were also created for Kiyu's summer clothes design. There was also the implication of ``comparison consideration for color determination'', but there is also a setting that ``several items are worn in rotation'', so some of the colors may appear in the main story.

There are two women and two men who belong to 'Hoshimi Life Equipment', but each has a slightly different design uniform. As an extra story that does not appear in the main story, there is a behind-the-scenes setting that 'Kyu's uniform was arranged and produced by Arika, a 'cafe clerk style' coordination.'

In addition, the personal clothes design is devised by the author, Mr. Everyday. The image below is ``Kyu's plain clothes when he goes to work'' shown in episode 2. It's a rough hoodie and pants look because it's time to change clothes when you come to work and when you're feeling depressed after failing at work.

On the other hand, the following is a plain clothes coordination that will appear in future episodes. This is a scene where 'plain clothes are allowed, but it is a place to visit as part of work', so Kyu, who has a serious personality, has a smart shirt, wide pants, and a short blouson. The author, who loves fashion, thinks about even the scenes that appear only briefly, so be sure to pay attention to the costume design as well.
