Does this sound like you?

  • You're passionate about storytelling and have so many amazing manga ideas but you don't know how to properly put them down on paper
  • You've been working on your art and story for YEARS but you feel like you're not good enough and still don't have a manga to show
  • You feel lost and overwhelmed not knowing whether you're doing things correctly
  • You want to join manga contests, pitch to publishers, and/or self-publish your manga but don't have the right skills

You're NOT alone...

Over the last 3 years, we've helped nearly 400 manga artists...

And they've been exactly in YOUR shoes!

They were STUCK for YEARS trying to create a LONG and COMPLICATED story worth 50 - 100 chapters.

They jump around working from one story to another, getting bored and distracted halfway through.

And despite all the hours of practice, the art and manga books they bought or online classes they tried, they just couldn't figure it out.

They still felt their art wasn't good enough.

Their story wasn't ready.

And they just couldn't figure out the skills like paneling, storyboarding or even character design to make manga.

They felt lost and overwhelmed...

With no friends that shared their mangaka dreams...

BUT...

Once they joined our Online Oneshot Manga Drawing Program and implemented the EXACT roadmap we laid out for them, they were FINALLY able to finish their first manga in a matter of MONTHS.

What our students say

Courtney, 30 (Corrections Officer)

"I like the sense of community and friendliness this group has fostered among itself and its members. My favorite part of being in this program is the privilege of getting critiques from mangaka instructors who have first hand experience in this field... and being able to converse with them and have them critique my work has given me a better understanding what I should and shouldn't do."

Raven, 31 (Teacher)

"I've got a lot more skills now than when I started [the program]. I've never finished any story I've ever written so this is like a huge deal for me. I'm finally making my oneshot manga."

Amser, 26 (Auto Shop Worker)

"[Before joining the program] I really did struggle with anatomy, perspective, basically all the fundamentals. I mean I knew how to draw a little bit, but this year with Learn to Draw Manga has been really, really impactful on me. I would definitely recommend this class to other people who want to make manga."

Garrett, 27 (Factory Worker)

"Being in this community has helped me speedrun my progress. I'm thankful for the support and encouragement of my coaches and peers. I wouldn't have made it this far without them!"

Kobi, 27 (Aspiring Manga Artist)

"I would definitely recommend this program especially to artists who are struggling not just with making art but also artists who struggle mentally with the whole process and just lack confidence in their work. The community, the classes, the mentors, the senseis, they really do help uplift you."

Do you dream of making manga but don't know where to start? Let's talk!

Edoardo, 21 (Student)

"I reached a new level of detail and characterization, learned more about backgrounds, and how to be more creative about doing things against a deadline. The mentors always give way better feedback to my works than I would, and they genuinely want us to do a good job."

Valli, 50 (Aspiring Manga Artist)

"It's cool to see how far I've come since my first drawing in the program. I'm still very much a beginner but I've seen myself just getting better over time the more I practice."

Jericho, 29 (Virtual Assistant)

"My passion for drawing manga was almost dead. This gave me a second wind to push for my own manga. Thank you! I'm currently working on my original oneshot."
