  • Hi, could you please answer me? I am doing a submission curriculum too, and I am following your steps (thank you very much, it's helping a lot :D) but I'd like to know if there shouldn't be a section describing the author and artist more specificaly...like a presentation of those.

    Thank you very much, I'm looking forward to buy your books :)

  • @zendaprez what part of the story line r u having problems with? Maybe i can help

  • The first step is moving to Japan and begin work there, otherwise your work will not be recognized as "manga".

  • you guys are a true inspiration, you guys make me want to continue with my own manga.

  • I need help with the storyline.

  • MANGA WRITERS, UNITE!

  • @2222jkjk I strongly agee!!!

  • This didn't help me at ALL!!!

  • What company(s) did you submit RONA too?

  • Is it common for people to get outside help when creating manga (like one person writes, another draws, another does something else) because I have had a story stuck in my head for four years now but I can't write or draw for my life. Any advice?

  • i can clearly see your phone number....

  • This video inspire me to make a manga!!

  • How do we go about publishing a manga, any guidelines or advice? and could you sent it via message. I have several manga in script form, and several pretty much completed. I'm 22, and not sure where to turn about publishing, self publish, send scripts out to publishers, >.< I've looked up a lot about it, but am 'very' cautious about going about this.

  • hey rain4spirit here havent talked in a while u asked what country im from im from ireland cork ^^

  • haw old is this video anay whay?

  • @chaos66665 May 6th, 2009..

  • I made over 70 pages... what should I do?

  • i would like to prove to you that i can draw manga so soon when i draw more characters i'll post a video showing my manga character creations!

  • I am 11 years old and I love manga. I can draw in many different MANGA styles. I'm rrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaa­aaaaalllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyy good at it. I'v gotten an idea for a manga but i cant afford a scanner for my drawings or a manga editing software. what should I do?

  • Im 15 i drew all my life and i hate elves no offenes ears crepy

  • I'm 13 I've just started drawing but I've been working with plots idea's even arks for years... I have a manga I'm working on I have a plan for a day job... I'm planning on eventually finishing my manga and going to get it serialized with shonen jump... Wish me luck :) I've been practicing with drawing for a while now XD

  • hey man, do you have a day job? lol cuz i wanna make a manga but i'm not sure if i should get a job aswell....

  • man i want to make a manga but i cannot draw hands and feet!!! i cannot but im only 14 ive been drawing since ive been in 3rd grade i hope as i get older i can draw those things then I will be able to make a manga

  • i'm only 13, and i've been thinking about making my own manga. i've been drawing since i was, like, 3. even tough i'm realy good now, i still have a lot of work to do. only recently i started writing a manga. i'm actualy gettin pretty good. and thank you for telling me about the manga submission. by the way....  WHO SNEEZES ON CASH?

  • i turned off annotations and your numberswhere visible, juste telling U I wont call

  • Um hi, I have a question. I'm writing an anime story for a manga I want. I have a couple of my characters drawn out. So I bought the manga studio debut 4 program but it's so confusing. Do happen to know how to use it. It's the coloring that's difficult. Oh and one more question. How did your friend get so good at his anime drawing. Can u plz tell me. I'm trying to get good as well. i really do.

  • I try hard to make my own manga..but I get a huge writers block and I move back and forth xD

  • @ronaproject I might make a manga and if I want to get it published by a company, does it have to be 3 main characters? I was thinking my manga would have 4-6...

  • TO MAKE A MANGA ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS READ THE MANGA CALLED BAKUMAN. YOU'LL THANK ME IF YOU READ IT!

  • Stop trying to be funny..

  • i want to but im only 12 and my family is poor so plz how in the world im uposed to make one im a better manga artist than you and this just sucks

  • @straberrykiwi06

    You seem quite full of yourself there. You must be good if you're better than him when you're only twelve, so prove it bro - I've subscribed to your channel, and I want to see you upload a video of some of your artwork. Hell, maybe even some character design videos. I mean, if you've got a computer and access to the internet, it doesn't matter if you're poor, you can make the video, but the one thing that you may have a problem with is perhaps scanning your drawings.

  • @CarboKill

    How do ya scan a drawing? I'm just taking pic's with a NIKON camera until I get a good result with good light so you can see all the lines and if I had Write something on it or to the pic. XD

  • @The1bleachfan

    To scan your drawings you get a scanner. Or a tablet which you can draw straight onto the computer with.

  • @justin107331 no it's pronounced man-gah

  • @buddinmaplestory

    no he's right. its MON-ga. Watch the anime Bakuman to hear the pronounciation

  • is (monga) the asian pronounciasion for manga?

  • Can you tell me how to make the book for the manga?

  • pause vid then unpause then press 9 rapidly lol

  • This manga submission accualy looks very average. not like in quality, its just very... normal. but i bet it still manages to bring in the crowd.

  • hey my name is gemma and im 16 ive been drawing since i was in 5th class and ive always wanted to create my own manga :) i have drawn out a few chrecters with just pencil and such and i have drawn out storyline its very difficult but im very comitted and its my dream I know im still young but whould I be able to send some of my stuff to you and such if so can you send me a comment or something on my profile please an dthank u i need the help

  • @rain4spirit May I ask what country you are from?

  • im actually only in junior high,but i'v been creating stories and characters for manga for around two or three years....i still need some work,but i hope to lern a lot! i'v been drawing since i was 10...and i realy admire you guys!

  • So i made a series wen i was in 6th grade and hav been planning ever since with my bestfriend mary. its actually pretty detailed for 2 years gone by. I hav almost all the main characters designs down. but i wanna no how the manga writers make their work so detailed in shading and such. not like weak okish sorta thing, but i mean the amazingly utsanding proffesionally designed comics. i hav manga studio and photoshop and i no it takes a lot of practice. but do u hav any tips?

  • This was incredible convenitent. I'm taking accelerated english and art classes in school for this type of job, actually. (my plan b being working oon animated movies) The whole concept of a manga submition sounds a lot like a high school rhetorical precie (or however it's spelled). Thank you so much, this idea wouldnt have even crossed my mind!

  • Dont go to tokyopop when this video was made tokyopop had good manga's but now it's garbage since kodansha left them

  • This is cool, I make my own animations now with sprites through Photoshop CS4 and Flash CS3, and they both are powerful tools along with Blender 3D,

    see the results on my video.

  • I like how you had to put were related after the live together statement LOL!!!

  • I have started my own manga comic since my Senior year in High School, I have been in art class and had a very creative mind since a very young age (before senior year of course). I have made the script, outline, I have had some character designs and backgrounds drawn but I wish I knew more about computers and more about software like Photoshop, Anime Studio, Manga Studio, etc.

  • @supermonk3y07 your on the right track dude. once you learn photoshop and manga studio you'll be set ;)

  • @ronaproject Thank you, I really would like to go into making comics and animation, but I heard that its not a really goofd field to be in. It is a lot like a gamble, because if your works aren't popular, you can end up in the poor house

  • @ronaproject By the way, I was also reading recently the Manga Bakuman, which is a manga about some kids making a manga

  • @supermonk3y07 the first you'll be needing to proceed your series in the computer is by getting a tablet..T_T

  • @ReOmiXo3 I have a drawing tablet. Had one for almost 2 years now

  • I actually have several manga, I am working on right now but the only problem is that I can't draw as well as I can... so I am drawing almost everyday trying to improve my drawing skills and making my own style of art

  • @XxAonoTsukune as i want*

  • Comment removed

  • Hello, Ryan, can you make this "manga submission" avaible to download or something? I really wanna see it. And if there are parts that contain spoilers and you don't want to show them, delete them from the "download file" pleeeeeeeeease :D

  • i love the people that try to tell someone how to pronounce something that isn't even a english word (say manga any way you want)

  • not monga MANGA if you say monga you'll sound jamacan only if you want to if you're jamacan

  • @lopmonpal "Monga" is the correct way to say it. The "Manga" pronunciation is just the american interpretation.

  • OOHHH OHHH ME ME ME!! ME !!MMEE !!!!.....SENSEI

  • thanks this really helped

    im thinking of do a combonation of naruto, one piece, and fairy tail.

    also thinking about sending it to tokyo pop

  • akaitsuki your from tokyopop your are amazing man!!!! 

  • o re paideia pisteuw ws auto pou kanete dn einai ki ti kalutero dld tosa logia gia to rona project bla bla bla stop talking theloume na doume to manga sas na ginei published

  • I got both the phone numbers:

    925-234-2050 and 417-365-1191.

    ^.^

  • @joshmosh99 no it's your style man if thats your style then maybe you should look into comics like marvel you don't have to cause manga has all kind of styles, from catoony to realism so it doesn't really matter man

  • Excelent tutorial, hope your manga gets turned into an anime some day

  • @KiwiDynasty No problem. Sorry I'm slow to respond. Hmmm...You mean from right to left? I imagine so. You'd just have to upload your manga that way or something. Best to check with the site. There is a support forum and help section there. Good luck!

  • @joshmosh99 it doesnt have to be shoujo or shonen style, but it'll be really tough to find a company that accepts it because it sells less. hope that helps goodluck

    -bakamidoripanda

  • @joshmosh99 Japanese man its JAPANESE comics not american comics

  • @joshmosh99  well manga is japanese style but you could probably mix your personal preferance into that style

  • @cartoonkingforeever I prefer the WESTERN style, but that doesn't mean that people can't draw in the Japanesse style.

  • @OmnomTheDevourer there's a difference between drawing a comic in anime style and making a manga, if it is not japanese than it is not manga and even you went to japan you would never make it unless you are just as good as the big manga artist like kishimoto, akira toriyama or oda because you are not japanese because it is very hard to find a job in japan if you are not japanese

  • @cartoonkingforeever although i agree on some parts all the word manga is just the japanese word for graphic novel. So if an american calls the graphic novel a manga all they are refering to is the style the japanese make thier graphic novels in.

  • @mathewmc909 i still prefer the word comic it distinguishes it from a real manga and you must realize that manga made by Americans never sell well like the Japanese ones and are just boring and short and there are a lot of anime fans who hate it when Americans try to do manga

  • @mathewmc909 and it still has to be from japan to call it a manga no mater what it looks like, like if you went to japan and made a Spiderman comic it would called a manga because it's from japan

  • @cartoonkingforeever i agree and i believe you make good points it realy doesn't matter when it comes right down to it they all are just comic books no matter which country they come from. ( although i prefer mangas over american comics)

  • @cartoonkingforeever not all of the mangas in japan sell well in america just as much as all comics in america don't sell well japan

  • @mathewmc909 my point is that American made manga is not good to me it's cliche and boring American comics are much better than american made mang, the problem is that Americans are trying to imitate the japanese art style and are unintentionally make the manga bad, comic book makers have their own style which makes it more unique and the storyline more epic, my point is i think Americans that want to do manga are playing it cheap so people will read their manga

  • @joshmosh99 while america has comic books the japanese have mangs, their graphic novells to our comic books. now adays htough, manga is more of a drawing style, usually with exagerated features like eyes and ears, and normally pointy chins and stuff.

  • did you do another manga before Rona.

  • Bring also to the stores manga like Hokuto no Ken and Hajime no hippo, baki the grappler, garouden, shoot fighter tekken, tough, kenji, bring at least manga with some spirit within it, within the drawings, with emotion and realism. This ppl always base themselves on shit like naruto, extremely easy and quick to draw, and flashy

    They keep following Naruto and other well known and top selling manga to get some easy and sure fire money cause the kids and the lil girls love it..LAME

  • I hate Naruto...ppl nowadays think that manga is only something like fag characters like Naruto and Sasuke or even skinny bitches like ichigo of bleach..I think manga is not only soft fleshy characters, with female porportions and facial aspects with big round eyes full of details and spikey hair styles with flashy colors...

  • it looks so much like Naruto manga series style...the characters hair, the colors B/W, even the way the eyes r drawn and positioned..

  • @KiwiDynasty Try lulu dot com.

  • holy shit this is so helpful~!! im doing a project for my college and i picked making a manga :D

  • @joshmosh99 If you're referring to whether it's drawn out left to right or right to left, then that's entirely up to you.

  • @joshmosh99 Manga does mean japanese comics, so i would think so.

  • im making my own manga called "Flame" i've been praticing drawing anime ever since i was 5. and some of my friends are going to help me.

  • i'm also making a manga but i need help

    

  • @joshmosh99 mangas should be in the japanese style you know them because mangas and comics are different arts and you cant draw an american style comic and call it a manga...

    i hope i could help^^

  • My dream is to become a Manga artist, I am one of the best drawers in my school so I hope I can make it.

  • @DayzillaTV Thats why I want to self publish my manga. I can make as many volume as I want.

  • can you still send your manga to tokyopop if you are not american and are from the uk?

  • I need a working retail copy of Manga Studio for free. Mine made a CD error.

  • This vid was so much help thanx because I'm tryin to make my own manga drawing and write the story myself

  • funny how u can turn off annotations :P

  • Im creating a horror manga that involvs zombies. i was wondering, should i go with an exstremely detailed look, making them look exstremely human then the accual characters them selfs? Seeing the zombies are the main point of the story, should ibase more of my time on them instead of the main characters.

  • do manga artist get payed enough to live on

  • *sings* i got your email! i got your email! na na na na na na na na!

    u should fix that :P

  • thanks so much that you gave this info out!!!! you have helped me a lot! do you no of any christian Manga publishers? i am making a manga but the style isn't traditional its kinda of in between. do you think that's okay? i have also tried to publish a book but they said you needed a agent. do you need an agent for the Manga publishing business as well? sorry i am asking all these questions, i tend to get chatty and wordy.

  • you'er funny

  • poo poo :D nice video bing bing

  • rip tony

  • yay

    

  • is it really hard to do both story and art when ur making a manga?

  • to be honest I want to be a mangaka mostly the writter but I dont know where to start

  • I myself have an idea on my own manga, but I need to improve my art skills.

  • Dude....Its pronounced MANG-A, like MANG-O.

    Not maahn-guhh, like caveman.

    I can't even stomach watching the rest of this.

  • thts basicly not even manga! you really need to get beta.if you go round telling people how to do good manga ther gonna fail themselves

  • i try to make a manga but 5 minutes later I crumple y paper and throw it away

  • LOL I love this xD

    Thx for upload it hellped c:

    Of hey you notice were there hand are at 4:31 xDDD

    Love that pic! It made me crack up!

  • i have a deviantart and i have a couple peices of artwork but right now i have art block,do you have a way to get rid of art block?

  • lol woops i have annotations off xD nah just kidding, why would i call you? ^__^

  • R.I.P. Anthony. :(

  • you are amazing :)

  • I am having trouble drawing certain things.

    1-I really can't draw hands

    2-i can't really draw a good depth/body features

    3-Shoes....how the fudge do I draw them?

  • cool

  • um i guess it was kinda helpful to me... but i'm gonna make my comic a little different than that... The problem that I have right now is how do you find a editor?...

    And... how do i find some publishing companies?

    If someone out there could help me somehow, that would be GREAT :D

  • @100chewycandies I guess one way to really start spreading your name out there is to start putting up webcomics. They don't have to be a full story or anything but make several small stories that showcase your talent in writing and drawing. >_> maybe that could help. I guess also try to keep an eye out for contests.

  • i love your storyline, well from what iver seen so far, i wish i would be able to be a part of your project haha. i have so many ideas but idk how to just get them into a train and get it moving

  • Dammit dammit... Why did you have to go and die on us!?

  • do you have blue eyes

  • RiP

  • thank you so much for this! my goal in life is to be a manga artist and every time I say so I'm always met with a comment like "... are you sure? you sure you don't want to do something that will bring you money?" Its been very frustrating but I haven't given up yet! thanks for the info.

  • Comment removed

  • There are alot of these videos about making your own manga and that's all fine and swell but what about those of us who can't draw and still want to make one?

  • I'm an inspiriing manga artist and I'm American, so I was wodnering how do you contact Tokyopop and submit a manga? :0

  • @Everliferulz7769 I think he means to contact companies in your country :)

  • @jalal1392 Wait... Tokyopop isn't in America? ARGH!!!!! WHY DOESN'T ANYONE TELL ME THESE THINGS?! xD

  • @Everliferulz7769 xD tokyopop is in tokyo i think xD for example dark horse in america, or carlsen comics in germany, that's where I come from =)

  • @Everliferulz7769 i wonder that too.... :l hmmmm......

  • I happen to work for tokyopop. There are 2 ways i know of. You can be like me and send a email and hopefully get lucky like i did. Or you can go to california where the tokyopop building is.

  • Awesome I like Dasher. You've got my sub:)

  • Dude we can still see the phone numbers!

  • so with the submission you made, did you give it out at comic cons or where did you submit them?

  • This is the nice Manga style. it has structure, I hate the flat stuff.

  • okay so how do you contact the publisher?

  • He self publish so I would check a phone book

  • 6:18

    lol bless you dude

  • Hey Rona guys, i have a question.

    You know about mega popular Shonen Jump right... Well lets say u wanted to get published by the company(or magazine) couldnt u just move to Japan then enter in the monthly contest Shonen Jump does and either earned 1st place or runner up. I just wanted to know because that how all the other shonen jump author got published so it shouldnt matter what race or where u come from as long as u get 1st right? anyway just thinking. please give me your answer Rona Guys.

  • @jeremywhite700 U are sooooo

    right althouhgt u gotta be carful sometimes people down sometimes don't like

    foreiners around.

  • see you in the finish line co manga artist,..

  • FYI, if you turn off the annotations we can still see it.

  • @joshmosh99 Manga is just a drawing style... Basically a manga is just a comic book drawn in that style... People just prefer the Japanese format I guess...

  • is your manga done? i wanna buy, great video

  • this is great, but could u please

    show more of the story line and

    art as you developed them in ur

    manga? i hope to make a manga

    myself. u guys rock!!

  • they cant give away too much of teh story becuase ppl will try to steal it considering the popularity

  • broke... broke.... achoo!........ broke...

  • thank you so much for the walk through! i've been to sites like tokyopop and so on but none of them have actually walked me through like this

  • I know your phone numbers! all you do is turn off the annotaitions!!! ;)

  • he I have a lot of Idea on story in Manga or anime but its too hard to be putting them together wahhhhhhh I actually got them out only if im sleeping

  • your info is still exposed since you can turn off annotations i can see everything but i couldn't care less lol.

  • thanks this helped a lot =D

  • Do you guys recommend that it's better to try getting a bigger publisher like shonen jump and others to publish a manga or do you think it's better to ask smaller publishers to do it? Btw Good Luck with Rona!

  • I do have a question for you sir!

    We are tryig to publish our own manga...but we do not have stuff for it posted up yet...blah!

  • exact same thing for me!

  • Dude, Yeah I Know What You Mean, Me And My Mate Created Our Own Manga Done Most Of It Been Going For 6 Years, Haven't Put It On Internet Because Of People Stealing, Keep It Hidden For The Moment, Once Your Work Is Complete Copyright It At Myfreecopyright And It's Free That's What I Did So If Someone Does Steal Our Ideas Then We Got It Copyrighted And There In Trouble!

  • viz media for me. thats the plan at least

  • lolz people can still take your cell phone number by downloading the video lmao

  • I changed my number lol phew
