Making Manga- A 1st Attempt

Tue Feb 10, 2009, 2:36 PM
So I'm finally (though slowly) trying to put together a manga with my long-time characters Natsuko & Miki. It may be only a few pages at best, or a small collection of various scenes from their lives, I haven't totally decided, but I've started a page where Miki is born, Natsuko is considerably younger, and has to adjust to not being A#1 Only Child anymore. I'm really concerned about it looking presentable enough for possible sale, but feel I have a long way to go. We'll see. The process of figuring out page layouts and what works best for the way the story unfolds, and properly expressing the extremeties of emotion is an interesting challenge.

Anyone out there who has greater experience in creating manga, I very much welcome your input. I need all the help I can get! This project is also very much open to collaboration.
...Please? Any takers?

I'll be posting again soon :3 <3!

You're welcome! I found your works to be immensely refreshing and unique in the densely populated genre of anime & manga. I especially enjoyed your places of catharsis. And such vibrant color and elements of design! <3 I only wish you had a comic work in english. I'm certain many would enjoy it.
