Help with my manga!!!!
 
I'm making my own manga, and just out of curiosity would like to know what ppl would want to read.

Kanji_The_Wanderer 03-17-2008 10:51 PM

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.

matt19261 03-18-2008 04:29 AM

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.

SailorBratt18 03-18-2008 04:41 AM

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.

Snowdrop 03-18-2008 04:51 AM

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.

matt19261 03-24-2008 11:40 PM

Tis is the plot that i've come up with so far pls take time and review it for me, thnx

Aya escaping her life in effort to find her parents.

There was a king who was in need of a princess to take over for his queen. He had a son, but he was though unfit for the honer of being called king. So the king went to an orphanarium to find a daughter. His pick was Aya Tsukiko, an orphan whos parents whereabouts were unknown. Her only possession was a picture of her parents. As years past and she grew, she learned to swordfight, and that soon became her second priority. Her first priority was trying to find her parents. This made her different from the other feminins, as she would rather train then try to look better for the guys. As a sideeffect to her training, she knew all the guards, as they were the only ones that liked training. She hung out with them alot, so much that she became to like the lifestyle of a fighter then a princess. She liked the times when she wasnt forced to wear, the stupid girly outfits. Despite this, she still uses ediquiet and calls everyone sir or miss. She slowly started hating the life
she lived. Every night she snuck out to the woods, hopeing she would be able to escape her "prison" she called it. Unfortunatly she got caught every night despite her best efforts. However, one night was different, she saw a figure as she was running from the guards. She screams at the top of her lungs right as the guards catch her. The figure only ooks towards her direction, otherwise motionless, screams one last time as the guards pull her away. Hoping that the figure might come to her rescue. But alas, he remained motionless.

that is very good! i can picture it happening in my head as i read this bit. but i think she should try one more time when something horrible has happened to the kingdom. she trys to help but instead she escapes,becuase someone took her. but knocked her out and left her alone in a snowy village due to some guy.

auran 03-25-2008 12:54 AM

monkeyfist7 03-25-2008 12:39 PM

Short tip.
 
First . in a story plot or whateva you call it. you need a intro. ...then a problem..then lastly a solution for a manga.. while in that problem. just add more problems that conflict with the problem.., lol sorry if i am confusing you.

It's still a little early to tell yet, but hopefully if the first volume goes well, we hope to make more.

Aya escaping her life in effort to find her parents.
There was a king who was in need of a princess to take over for his queen. He had a son, but he was though unfit for the honer of being called king. So the king went to an orphanarium to find a daughter. His pick was Aya Tsukiko, an orphan whos parents whereabouts were unknown. Her only possession was a picture of her parents.

As a sideeffect to her training, she knew all the guards, as they were the only ones that liked training. She hung out with them alot, so much that she became to like the lifestyle of a fighter then a princess. She liked the times when she wasnt forced to wear, the stupid girly outfits. Despite this, she still uses ediquiet and calls everyone sir or miss. She slowly started hating the life she lived. Every night she snuck out to the woods, hopeing she would be able to escape her "prison" she called it. Unfortunatly she got caught every night despite her best efforts. However, one night was different, she saw a figure as she was running from the guards. She screams at the top of her lungs right as the guards catch her. The figure only ooks towards her direction, otherwise motionless, screams one last time as the guards pull her away. Hoping that the figure might come to her rescue. But alas, he remained motionless. This doesnt mean he was unaware of what was going on.
For while he may look motionless from a distance, he was ordering his little pet to follow her. He stayed still in oder to remain unsuspicious through the guards' eye. As the guards pulled a miserable Aya back to her home, the figure's little pet crawled at a pace that kept the guards in sight. The critter followed the guards and soon approached the castle. From this point, he kept his eye on the girl as she got forced inside. Aya, having been through this routine countless times, headed up to her room with a gloomy face. The critter scaled the walls, easily keeping up without breaking a sweat. Aya went into her room, slammed the door, and ploped on her bed. The critter relentlessly followed as he squeezed under the door and jumped on Aya's bed without making a sound. He sat quietly on the bed and listened to Ayas mumbling about how she
wanted to be free. She got up and surveyed the room, her walls,her floor, and then... her bed. She spotted the critter staring at her. Aya puts her arm out, unafraid. The critter took her invitation, and craweled up her arm. Aya lightly pet him, stating that he was a friendly little spider.

We were thinking that if we split this whole thing up into parts that we could make the first volume of our manga out of it! Do you think it would be a good first volume?

i think it is lacking some mystery...most poeple want to be pulled in. i think there should be some type of connection between the girl and the mstery dude. and when i say "connection" i mean when they meet face to face some sort of light flashes around, the wind picks up...you know, wierd occurances...things like that.
(who's "we"????)

ok. then. well, uh...its about a girl who has just arrived at a new place/school/house. 1st day of school, she meets the school bad-boy. the vice-president, and the perverted principle. she eventually starts to live with them because her whole family died. (note: the guys she meets are NOT related.but they do live together) she starts to explore the house and find out that they are all shinigami, who were told to reap the souls of the living.(in my terms: meaning: KILL EVERYONE ONE IN THE WAY) and she also finds out that her mom survived and she is the key to earths survival.

BUT THE MAIN QUESTION REMAINS!!!!
