Your work does not need to feel “finished” before you show it. We respect what you want to create and offer feedback that fits your current stage.
“What if they think I am not good?” “I do not even know what to fix.” Our instructors look beyond skill level. They ask what you want to draw and what you want help with, then respond to where you are now.
Consultations are also available in Chinese.
I came to Japan when I was ten. One day at a friend’s home, I read Marmalade Boy in the girls’ manga magazine Ribon without understanding any Japanese.
I knew neither the earlier story nor the words, yet I cried when I saw the heroine separate from her boyfriend. That was when I decided to become a manga artist. At fourteen, I submitted to Shueisha for the first time and received my first award.
I was later selected in several competitions held by major publishers and worked with an editor, but I did not make my professional debut.
After stepping away from manga, I realized that fifteen years of drawing had also taught me how to illustrate, design, and write.
By sharing the joy and value of manga and illustration, I hope to help the people who attend our school live richer and happier lives.
Our team has trained and worked as manga artists, illustrators, and fine artists. Their profiles show both their experience and how they want to support each learner.
