Learn how to create manga.
We go beyond drawing. We help you create stories with characters that everybody will love.
Become a mangaka
Everybody thinks manga is just about drawing, but it is more than that - manga means stories.
Explore your creativity through the Japanese art of manga and learn how to do it with a real mangaka.
We won’t teach you a style, we will guide you to develop your own way of self-expression.
How we do it
Art Basics
We teach you the fundamentals of art and how we adapt reality into manga. Manga is a whimsical way of understanding the world.
Drawing elements psychology
Ever wondered why some characters make you feel certain emotions just by looking at them? It is because every element is carefully picked to express those feelings.
Understanding what we read
It is not enough to just be great at drawing, we need to learn how to tell a compelling story. We do that by understanding why some stories are successful and why others are not.
Uniqueness
We fall in love with stories and characters because they make us forget about the world. But that can only happen if they are unique - we teach you how to dig your best ideas out and express them in your own style - forget about imitation.
Dynamism
To express our ideas and stories, we need to include dynamism into them - we do that by learning how spaces work through perspective drawing.
Craft
.From linework to character design, we will guide you in bringing your stories to life. At the end of our courses you’ll develop more skills than just art.
