It depends really. A lot of mangas the art reflects the story, and vice versa.

For example. A manga depicting a girl with giant green eyes and pig tails is probably involved in some sort of cute Shoujo manga that may be based on love and romance.

While a manga with an in-shape guy with a tattoo and a sword will most likely be seen in a bloody/action story.

So firstly you should decide what types of characters you are interested in drawing. Everyone has limits and preferences. So it might be easier for you to draw a cute school girl character who will probably have a much simpler character design opposed to a stern looking buff guy.

I recommend that you give it some thought before you pick a genre.

Actually i'm not the one whose drawing the people my friend is the one drawing it.I'm basically the one who plots the story and thinks of the setting and the names of the characters etc.

Can you give more info? Do you have any ideas yet for the story plot?

Once you give us an idea of what it is, we can give opinion and critique and so on.

I'm making manga, in progress. I still learn too.

Well in manga, the strenght is not only the draw but also the story. Ganbatte ne! You also have to consider the jump from one box to another like the transition of scenes. It's important for your story allure.
