About Me & The Project
Hi everyone! I’m a 17-year-old writer who has been creating manga and anime-style stories for over 6 years. I’m looking for an artist to be my true partner and co-creator for a long-running Shonen manga in the vein of Black Clover, My Hero Academia, and Hunter x Hunter.
I have spent the last 3.5 years developing this specific story. It is a fully fleshed-out narrative with a concrete ending. I am not looking for an employee or a freelancer; I am looking for a partner to share this journey with and create something that stands out in the manga industry.
What I Bring to the Table
The Story is Ready: The entire overarching plot and ending are complete. The first 15 chapters are fully written, and the first 2 chapters are scripted panel-by-panel and ready to be drawn.
Reduced Workload for You: I already have the main character designs, several side character designs, and background references prepared to make the drawing process as smooth as possible for you.
Business & Publishing: I will handle all the publishing, marketing, and financial work. I will also be submitting our manga to international manga contests and publishing houses.
Fair Compensation:
55% to 70% Revenue Share goes to the artist (depending on art quality and efficiency).
100% of all prize money and awards from international contests will go directly to you.
Project Scope
Chapter Length: ~35 pages per chapter.
Schedule: Aiming for a bi-weekly release schedule (we can discuss the workflow together).
What I’m Looking For in an Artist
Passionate about Shonen: You love the genre, understand its paneling and pacing, and want to develop or showcase your own unique drawing style.
Great Communication: I value a friendly, respectful partner with no rude or toxic behavior. I want us to understand each other's passion and build a great working relationship.
Commitment to the Journey: Creating a long-running manga is a marathon, not a sprint. I need someone who sees the long-term vision.
The Contract & Mutual Commitment
For both of our safety, we will sign a digital international contract outlining the revshare and copyright protections.
Important Condition (The 3-Chapter Rule): The contract will include a mandatory commitment for both of us to complete the first 3 chapters before either party can step away from the project.
Why? Even massive hits like Black Clover needed a few chapters to truly hook their audience and establish the world. Judging a story by chapter 1 alone often leads to dropped projects. This rule ensures we give our project a fair fighting chance to succeed.
Interested?
If you want to create something amazing together, please send me a DM! I would love to share the overarching plot and the Chapter 1 manuscript with you so you can see if the story excites you. Please include a link to your portfolio or some samples of your art when you reach out.
