ふと電話誕生の初期はどんな感じだろうと調べたことがありそれを参考にネタつくりしました

交換手という存在は何となく知っていましたが、明治の導入初期では主に書生（学生）の小遣い稼ぎの仕事に担当されていたようです。しかし態度の横柄さが目立ちクレームが続いたことから徐々に物腰柔らかな女性に替わられたようです。一定の礼節が求められることもあり特に中流階級のご令嬢が採用されましたが、女性の独り立ちという考えも一般的でなく、稼いだ金で自由に買い物をするという時代でもないのでほぼ無給で国への奉公といった面をあったかとみられます。

ゴールデンウィークに制作しようと思ったけどなんか別のことやってて結局直前になって描いてた

先々週の紅楼夢もそんな感じ

ずっとこんなのばっかなので同人への向き合い方も考えてしまう

This was presented at the Meikasai held in Nagoya this past June.

I once looked into what the early days of the telephone were like and used that as reference material for creating this piece.

I was vaguely aware of the existence of telephone operators, but it seems that in the early days of their introduction during the Meiji period, the job was primarily handled by students earning pocket money. However, their arrogant attitudes drew constant complaints, leading to them gradually being replaced by women with a gentler demeanor. Since a certain level of decorum was required, young ladies from middle-class families were often hired. But the idea of women working independently wasn't common, and it wasn't an era where they could freely spend their earnings on shopping. So, it seems they worked almost unpaid, more like serving the state.

I meant to make this during Golden Week but ended up doing something else and only started drawing it at the last minute. Same thing happened with the Kōroumyō event two weeks ago. Since it's always like this, I'm starting to rethink my approach to doujin work.
