Shonen Jump is holding a contest this year for all fledgling mangaka to be featured in one of their issues!
http://en.rocketnews24.com/2015/12/19/shonen-jump-now-taking-manga-submissions-from-japan-and-abroad-in-new-contest/
They're offering to translate all overseas work, for those of you who can't write in moon runes.
Well, what do you think?
>inb4 keit-ai
Where the fuck is my keitai manga
Why the fuck are you posting this shit on /a/?
No one on /a/ has any artistic talents whatsoever.
>>135306019
>>135306054
make it happen
>>135306019
>>135306054
Now is the chance to find a way.
>>135305960
about fucking time
>>135306100
>writing manga
>talent
The only requirement of becoming a japanese comic book creator is being japanese, you shit
>>135306019
>>135306054
Don't do this anon. If one of you artfags actually manage to do this, you are just going to kill /a/ from all the shitposting it will cause
Quick somebody draw keit-ai or gajin
>>135306372
/a/ can't write Japanese either you fucking shitlord
>>135305960
>Well, what do you think?
Smacks of Shonen Jump realizing that they can make mad cash from outside of Japan so they're taking advantage of the ease of global communication to score themselves cheap work from starry-eyed gaijin suckers.
>>135306644
This, as much as I'd love to see keitai breaking the fabric of reality, it would just be katawa shoujo all over again
>>135305960
>>135305960
yeah, like it will be filled with participants who just rip off other works and rename it "my-OC-novel-donut-steal" to qualify
>>135307720
can't be that bad
>>135307938
Noice.
>>135307938
RWBY is literal muh oc donut steel
>>135307938
It's 50 Shades all over again, on the one hand i shows there's hope for everyone but it sort of makes me lose hope since really the hope lies primarily in lowest common denominator theming.
Of course the smart thing to do would be make something like that to get a foot in the door and gather funds and then use it for your real passion projects, but it seems like too much of a hassle for me.
>>135306881
Katawa Shoujo was actually quite enjoyable though.
>>135306019Threadly reminder that you should stop posting that because it's a thing.https://www.fictionpress.com/s/3206139/1/
>>135306054Threadly reminder that Keit-Ai Manga already exists.
>>135307938
fuck off >>>/co/

Gaijin-kun must happen.

>Wanting to be a weekly manga slave.
No, no aaaaand no. I can't even understand why authors fall for this shit, monthly parutions are an objectively better alternative.
>>135306019
>>135306054
Keit-ai mind.
>>135308218
Im not sure Shonen Jump is very fond of 4-koma though.
>>135308119
>>135308150
How many more things will Keit-Ai become?
>>135308331
>Im not sure Shonen Jump is very fond of 4-koma though.
Then let's make it a full-fledged SOL manga.
>>135306278
cunts nickname is more normal than his real name.
>>135305960
>draw the eyes first
This is from one of those shitty American-made "How to Draw Manga" bullshit books, isn't it?
>>135306372
>he thinks it's easy
kek
Most of the submissions seem pretty bad so far.
Both in direction and writing.
>euro cucks already entering pro islam manga
That didn't take long.

/pol/ finds a way
>>135308567
Thank God nips are xenophobic and this has no chance
>>135308567
>no raping of little girls
I'm very disappointed.
>>135308589
/pol/ is higher quality
>>135308567
oh my fucking god
>>135308567
Thank Yahweh that sucks.
>>135308150
Will you faggots ever let this die?
I'm on my way boys.
I'm incredibly shallow as I'm certain most of the worlds populace is, especially young jump consumers.
I can't look past the dog shit illustration. I need at least basic understanding of human anatomy applied well before I can begin to tolerate fucking Dragonball-Yugioh adventure 4.0 electric shit-storm edition.
>>135308733
Silly question.
>>135308678
Someone please put a comic filter on moon over june and submit that to jump asap.
>>135305960
I want to kill whoever made this "guide"
Holy shit what kind of retard starts by drawing the eyes first?
>>135306054
Drawfags, you know what to do.
>>135308968
A retard naturally, anon. What sort of question is that? Why would you ask that? Are you some sort of retard?
>>135305960
>>135305960
C-Christ-chan?
>>135308567
T-thanks Portugal
How would you even make a story arc for a one shot?
I couldn't think of anything that isnt a cliche or done before.
>>135310111
Just write what you'd like to read
>>135305960
I'm inclined to believe this is a troll image.
>>135305960
I can't get the chin right. Fuck.
>>135306644
>>135306881
Your pathetic little hivemind is far less important than potentially breaking into the manga industry. Get out of your fucking rooms one in a while.
Holy fuck this is hard.
>>135310111
Everything has already been done in some way anon, clichés are tools not flaws. What matters is want kind of story you want to tell, and how you'll tell it.
>>135305960
Since no one at Shounen Jump can actually speak English how are they gonna judge the foreign entries anyway?
>>135310312
The west shouldn't have access into the manga industry, fuck off faggot. It'll only cause it to actually degrade and become shit
>>135310511
LOOMIS.
>>135306019
>>135306054

>>135310578
Thanks for the tip, that guy is fucking nuts.
Instead of making meme-ai, someone do some sort of 4chan thing one-shot. That would actually be interesting. Using fucking the -tans or something
>>135308427
This family
>>135310757
Just use that /v/ vs /b/ or /fit/ comics then.
Guy-Jean manga PLEASE
>>135308403
Lots and lots of things.
>you'll never draw lewd japanese illustrations to support your neet onii-chan
>>135305960
Oh, cool, they did this last year or a few years ago or something. I'm sad I missed some of the entries, because they sounded interesting.
Hopefully we'll get good ones this time, too.

Because WSJ is more popular than any monthly.
>>135308837
>Furry nazis
>>135308567
>that art
>that subject matter
Just submit this to a fucking Western publisher, you stupid weeb.
I wish I had the motivation to try but I know I would give up after making one page.
>>135312225
I would give up after designing the characters.
>>135312225
So draw manga that are only one page long. You could be known as One Page Man
>>135312225
>>135312362
i'd draw it all in the last month before the deadline and then hate myself because it's shit.
is this the fate you want anon? if not, then just be glad you never got started.
>>135308742
Is this maeri san from Genki textbook?
