Hello Drunk Duck!
Still pretty new here and trying to get to grips with things, please forgive any n00bishness. :)

First a little about me...

I'm 18, from london,
a rookie Manga-ka and general lover of comics.
I lived in Nagoya and learnt alot about being Manga-ka In Japan from the people i met there.
It's my aspiration to get Mangajin featured here on DD, to accomplish this i've drawn a page almost every single day since i started it! *flames in eyes*

My Comic, Mangaijin...

The path of a Manga-ka is not an easy one, especially for a foreigner trying to make it in the mysterious land of Japan. Perhaps though, it takes someone as clueless and enthusiastic as Karlos to breathe new life into the industry and inspire other rookies along the way.
...Taro on the other hand...well, we'll just have to see!


During my time in Japan i was lucky enough to be in a situation where i could learn alot about what it's like for comic artists in Japan, and what's more the difficulty even fluent foreigners face when trying to make it over there.
I learnt alot and made some nice connections and would like to express it a little in this likely long running title...
although for the most part it'll just be a load of irrelevent fun!

Okay, one word. Awesome.

Your technique is enviable man, especially the color pages.
God needed the Devil, the Beatles needed the Rolling Stones, Hakoshen needs me.
I'm the enemy he requires to define him.
Soon or later, he'll bring me back to life again for another epic encounter of shouting about power levels and grimacing.

Thanks guys! ;O;

I'm totally stoked by the reaction so far, i have about 5 regular people visiting and commenting, which to many of you DD-super-powers may be peanuts, but to me honestly means the world!

Please continue to read, I've took down notes for the next two arcs after this one and I have to say i'm pretty excited!

Page 17 is now up, Only 9 more pages until chapter finish!

I've recieved some good feedback and now know areas to try to improve and areas in which were well recieved. I intend to print the first issue within the next few months and so if anyone would be interested in doing any fanart to put into the back of Issue 1 then please post here or send me a PQ!
