Creating a manga

Making my original Manga story with comedy

About the project

My goal for the personal project is to make a Manga with comedy

I chose to make a manga because I really like making comics and I'm into anime so I thought a manga would be fun to do, also because I have a lot of experience doing these things and I'm really good.

I think one of the most challenging things for me are making the text boxes because I need to be careful with the grammar and the space in the text box
Identities and relationships is the global context that relates to my project. A manga is a kind of comic that was created in Japan, it is a comic style that was created for all kinds of people, and there are all kinds of manga for all ages. There are all kinds of genres like action, comedy, mystery, etc...

The first manga I read was about 2 years ago, and it was The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time perfect edition because it was based off of one of the most played and well known Zelda games in the franchize, I never got to play it tho, so I thought it might be a good idea to read it, that way I could know what happened in the game, after that I started getting more mangas of the same series. Now I can see how the structure is made and I can make it as simmilaras possible

Some of the classes that have helped me with skills needed for this project are The art clases I used to take in after school at my old school. Also the visual art and personal project class help me a lot since I'm already making a comic in design.

After I researched manga I learned that you have to read it from right to left instead of left to right and that it is nearly identical to how a comic book’s structure looks. A manga is usually more dramatic than other types of books and they nearly always use anime like characters.
