Congratulations to our participants!!

We would like to thank everyone who participated in the contest. We received many entries from all over the world. The Silent Manga Audition office has announced the results of the Bakemon contest. Congratulations to all of the winners.
One of the most interesting things about Japanese manga is the quirky characters that appear. To make characters manga artist use their surrounding and draw inspiration from the people around them, and exaggerate their traits. After you make the characters you can build an interesting story around them. I've seen a lot of that as a manga editor.

With the Bakemon contest I can see how much fun people are having drawing manga with these characters. Once again, I'd like to thank everyone for participating. I'll be looking forward to the second contest!!
