I really wanna enter this year but I have no inspiration for a manga, does anyone have any ideas or can direct me to some really great manga/manwha?!?!?!?!? (It has to be a 20 page manga, more info on the Tokyopop website ^^)

[~fantasygurl~]

i heard of it but i never actually thought it was true....or i so thought it was...i see advertisements on the end of some manga pages??

[LucasBunny]

Yep

I am going to enter one day

I just want to make sure I am ready 100%
I like this because it gives people who are not
japanese the opportunity to prove that they can do quality
manga as well.

My advice to you

do something different
or u can revolve it around your life yah know?

[dazzleanddestroy]

i was going to enter, but i thought i wasn't good enough.
maybe next year.

i found this really cute. well if you were to make this longer, i think it would be those kind of manga that is really about just everyday life thing...kind of like genshiken (about everyday in the life of an otaku). i so love that kind of manga. also i like the style of drawing in that pic.

if you think it's hard to make up a storyline then why don't you work with someone (altho ask Tokyopop if you could first). you can do the drawing and the person can make up the storyline (and give each other's inputs). i think whatever that you find interesting and makes you excited then when you draw it, people can feel the excitement and want to continue reading.

my little bro drew a one page comic for his art class. he hated it so i guess that means he won't want to become a mangaka. altho he does love to draw for the fun of it....monsters and creatures that he makes up in his mind.

good luck on anyone who is doing this. i hope to see all of you guys' mangas one day.

I heard of it a while ago. I think the next will be at least their 3rd. Actually the winner and a few runner-up's work is published. If you've heard of mail order ninja or van hunter (don't remember their exact names) both were from the competition.

Any links to the winning manga? I would like to see and read it
