I can't read Japanese, so I don't know what he said in that note.It was originally awarded as a prize in Young Animal through a lottery. The first page is a message from Miura asking the winner not to put up the manuscript on the Internet. I guess people simply don't care anymore.
Any reason why Miura objected to people sharing images of the manuscripts?
Having samples of manuscripts out in the public are incredibly valuable for study. I know it was incredibly helpful for me, as someone who makes comics, to realize that the manuscripts for manga are created in this way. Understanding this was an aid to my own work.
Well, considering that these are original drafts done by a famous mangaka that has passed away, not really. These drafts are as unique as you can get.isnt a million yen a bit much?
In what way? By doing the storyboarding first? Nothing you couldn't learn from a course on manga/comics. Or even from a book on the subject, of which there are hundreds.
You're right, Miura's process is not unique in this respect, and this lesson can be learned elsewhere.
I think that if you want to learn making comics, starting off by understanding the approach/creative process of the artists you admire is a good first step. Many of the creators I like have different approaches/personalities, so comparing those, and trying out what works for me has been helpful. Then synthesizing or rejecting elements until I find a good creative flow.
I wrote a short story that will be published in a comics anthology. (it was for a kickstarter that was successfully funded) I am also working on a longer story that I plan on self-publishing on a webtoon platform (likely Tapas). In my estimation, I am not a particularly good artist, but it's something I'm working on and am improving. I have also written plays, that were produced and successfully performed, so I have experience with publishing in other media. I feel like this line of questioning, however, is directing toward an ad hominem. Let's concentrate on the argument I'm making--that studying the work and process of particular artists is helpful.Are you a published author?
