Comic Fury Webcomic Hosting - WANTED:Artist willing to draw Traditional Manga story for me

hello, a few of my projects have been short-lived but my latest idea is a manga comic called
YOSHIDA'S SHADOW. its about YUUKI YOSHIDA, A Harbinger, Harbingers are a group of soldiers who embrace their SOUL Powers. The POWER of their soul increases the power and changes the shape of their blade.The harbingers wear samurai armour but don,t wear a helmet.

HOW TO GET THE JOB:post a drawing of your Personal Harbinger and his armour colours and SOUL BLADE.

Your Character can appear in the background if you get the job+your prievious projects

Traditional manga is read Right to Left, look on the internet

So, very similar to Soul Reapers from Bleach? Cool.

Yes thanks for noticing. i have been reading some Bleach and Naruto a lot and i have taken some inspiration from both.

Every character has soul powers, people barely scratch the surface of their soul powers but harbingers are trained to dig deep in to their powers and their blade will change from a dagger to a full sized sword and gain a gold aura.The Darkness trade their soul to be able to absorb the shadows however their blade will stay the same but it will have a dark red aura.

I don't recommend formatting like an actual manga, there's very little point to it, it doesn't add authenticity and it confuses people. There's no reason for it to be there unless you so happen to be publishing a Japanese comic in book format for a Japanese audience.

As per your avatar, I assume you read manga. however, i don't think you read it with the same passion and love as I do if you say that. There's something to say for the format for an otaku, such as myself. I actually sometimes get confused when reading "normally" and start reading right to left. I prefer the other way aesthetically, and maybe he does too.

I do read my fair share of manga. I have a ComiPo strip (go ahead and hate me, mine was here first :P ) but aside from Japanese names I have it formatted as a western strip and leave out the desu. I have no desire to make anyone think I am asian, let alone Japanese, so I don't see the point in slavishly emulating a style which caters to a narrow viewer base and makes it harder to access by those outside of otakudom. So I will have to agree with Himitsu on the formatting.

I do read (And write) a lot of manga and love it very much (And I don't particularly appreciate you judging my passion for a medium because my opinion differs from yours) but I personally think that there is absolutely no point in having your webcomic back to front, because printed manga and webcomics are an entirely different kettle of fish. It wouldn't confuse me because I'm a seasoned reader of manga, but I know that the vast majority of webcomic readers find this a really major turn off (Check any "Webcomic pet peeves" or "Webcomic turn-off thread" and you'll see what I mean). I really hate to throw this word around, but most people will brand it as "weaboo" rather than "authentic".

It's just as pointless as adding Japanese sound effects. I wholeheartedly disagree with the "if you're not Japanese, you can't draw manga" arguement with a fiery passion, but to me, formatting your OEL webcomic like a manga kind of seems like setting a book in a Middle-Eastern setting and writing it back to front to emulate Hebrew.

No. Just no.
It's one thing to enjoy reading right to left when reading manga, as it was originally created, but there is no reason at all to make english comics in that format. If it's an English comic, then it should read left to right.
Sorry, but you're coming off as incredibly weeaboo-ish. You know that Otaku isn't a badge to wear with pride, right? It's an insult in Japan.

Well, if he wants it right to left, he can have it left to right. I didn't mean to criticize you. By the same passion, I meant in what we are passionate about, not level of. Also, maybe he's going for the Weaboo. You never know.



Actually, yes. I am aware of that, and just like the insults hurled at me daily in real life, I wear that insult with pride too. Now, i'm not saying I don't like American comics too (in fact, I can give the names, powers, and histories of 2/3 of the X-men...and I'm a Dark Horse Comics fan), it's just that sometimes the aesthetics of the format sometime appeal themselves to certain people. Even if no one reads his comic, he'll know he did it the way he wanted to.

Not much shonen/actiony comics here, I eagerly await this Shadow webcomic. I say if he wants to go ahead with japanese reading format, let him. He'll just take responsibility and face the consequences of doing such.

Well, more power too him then, but don't say I didn't warn ya!

I'm sorry if it sounded like I insulted you. I didn't mean to. But I'm glad we're on the same page now. (We...are on the same page, right?)

Ah, it ain't no thang, bad wording. ^_^

M...maaaybe? I don't advocate manga formatting, but really people can do what they want. I just very very strongly recommend against it.

As would i, if I weren't extremely about everyone doing their own thang. My own comics will read left to right...if I ever get any done...but I still might help this guy. Hell, I'm already most of the way through drawing this guy...then it's inking...and painting...I hate not having a tablet...

okay people dont hate eachother for this. i just read manga loads and i watch a fair share of anime.me and my friends are all manga afficianados. just to settle a few facts, graphic novels are just manga but red left to right and manga is read right to left. and besides only the very good ones are published and also made in to anime.

I'll help you with this, but don't call yourself a manga aficionado after mentioning Naruto and Bleach. Please. Also, Graphic Novels are Graphic Novels, and Manga is Manga. They are both Comics.

Trust me a good bit of Shonen manga comic on this website would get it more views

no, i have read other manga's as well i am just naming the well known ones
besides i have had ideas of doing this left to right but i think aesthetically, this is a good decision in the long run

Yes and it's pointless calling people weeaboo when they want to do something in a traditional format generally ignored by the brutish cultures and judgemental harshness of other so called "manga Proffessionals" who claim that it is a bad move. pshh what a load of pollywobbles

Lewis...please be quiet...you're not helping your point. Traditional is also subjective, as, technically speaking, left to right is traditional. Comics first started coming out in America. No one is calling themselves professional, either. They just know what will and will not be read. I was playing the devil's advocate before so you could see both sides better, but the truth is that less people will read it for the format.
