Shonen Jump Experience the HighS N Lows.

Finally took the manga to Tokyo today. The big appointment for Life of Death and it was very insightful. I have a lot to share and some is a bit disheartening. Starting on a good note they were very courteous and timely. They carefully read through the manga and gave the feedback on the art first. The paneling and angels weren't to their liking and they wanted more from the backgrounds and more interesting character designs. Nothing too hard to fix. Next came the story. This was a bit more difficult because he said the jokes were not 'japanese' and made it hard to follow the story. I understand the cultural bit there and was glad for the insight. Culture does have to be taken into consideration when dealing with JUMP. Also was told to simplify things and make it easier. The stories they want are easy reads with ACT123 simple plots. your basic introductions, nothing flashy. They even invite the 'narration' intro. Now the hard part here, and disheartening is what my translator told me after we were out. They had words with the editor that weren't immediately told to me. This was because the editor said 'americans should do american comics. Or someone on the team should be japanese to make it real manga'. Not sure if this view is shared with the rest of the editorial staff but it was upsetting to hear. To add salt to the wounds they said they specially want 'Japanese' working on their manga. Which begs the question, why even have a 'universal' contest? I'm still going to work with my team to make a new more 'shonen' entry but this was hard to hear. Internationals have a bigger disadvantage that just cultural and language gaps it appears.

I DID A THING!

I setup a patreon. Last time it was cluttered and it wasn't for just me. Well now I relaunched the patreon to be a lot better for not just me, but for supporters too! I offer a lot more than before now that I've gotten involved in a ton of new stuff. I can't do much unless I get enough support. Once certain goals are reached on patreon, EVEN MORE REWARDS WILL UNLOCK!!!
I'm not expecting a lot of support yet, but I know I will get more in the future (or at least I hope).
I want to make writing and running my studio my full time job. You guys can help make that happen, even if you support at just $1/month. You still get tons of stuff just for supporting at $1/month.
Please consider, and if you do support then I'd greatly appreciate it <3
Copy/paste this in your browser and learn more - https://www.patreon.com/sek
Thanks for all the support you guys have given me by the way. It means a lot!
I hope you all look forward to the future works I produce.

WataShu to END on Chapter 3???

The idea of WataShu was to make it a one-shot with an open ending to lead up to a series.
Sometime during the development of Chapter 2 it was realized that this project really can't continue any longer. It was scheduled to have 5 chapters before ending because Kurisu-kun is unable to continue after that.
The series itself would have had a lot of chapters equivalent to 8-12 volumes of a manga. Sadly, the story has to end at chapter 3.
There will be as much closure as possible. We were going to eventually redo chapter 1 as well to fit the story more but that won't happen either.
I'm sad to say that this is the end of WataShu.
However, as a writer, I want to create a story that I can be proud of. The inspiration for WataShu first came from a meme on a certain site. The story of a girl who is destined to be a heroine with blue eyes and pink hair. Many know of this setup.
I wanted to expand on that idea, and that's when WataShu (short for "doushite watashi ga shuyaku nan desu ka") finally came to light. As the project started, I kept writing the story line and it became more developed, psychological, deep, and filled with drama. Never intended to be a comedy which is why you don't see it tagged as such.
I never made a manga before nor did i know the process of making one. Chapter 1 was a first for Kurisu-kun and I. We learned a lot after making it. With him dropping the series after chapter 3, I feel it gives me a chance to redo WataShu while it's not too late. This isn't the end of WataShu. Just the end of the manga. For now.
I will reboot WataShu as a web novel, Kurisu-kun will still be on board to do the illustrations.
I will be dropping the premise of the story though, it will no longer be about Haruka and her "heroine syndrome." The story will be redone with that omitted.
The characters will remain however, the story will be renamed, and revamped.
I hope you all will understand why I am doing this.
And I sincerely apologize to those who enjoyed the manga to see it end soon.
Please support me on this next adventure and look forward to the new story.
No estimated time it will come.
Until then, I have a new webtoon (not manga) releasing this Summer:
Paper Bag.
More news on that next time.

WataShu Chapter 2 and Winter anime

We'll start illustrating it later this month probably. But yeah, the manuscript is done and going through final edit phase. I'll post more news as time passes.
Meanwhile, I still don't know how to use this site properly. If i'm making these posts incorrectly feel free to let me know haha xD
Citrus was announced for anime adaptation. Masamune-kun's Revenge anime coming this winter too. I'm hyped cuz both series are great references for my manga. I learned a lot about panel layouts from them. Chapter 2 is going to really show the differences I learned compared to chapter 1.
These chapters take a few months to illustrate, so don't expect it to be publicly available until Spring 2017.
Want to access it earlier, then there is a way. More on that in later update :3
