its actually SHOUJO, not shounen since most stories here focus on teen romance and such =3

Ah ok. Miss-read by me then. That makes mine quite a bit different as it's a Suspense/Thriller. Are you guys sticking to that particular theme or are you accepting different genres?

hmm add that to my other two questions...

[EDIT] Forget question one I just had a proper look at one issue and realised it's right to left, sorry for not doing that before asking but it was 3am when I made the post. There is also one that had a discretionary warning on it though mine is going to be quite blatent so may need to be judged independantly so question 2 still stands....thanks.

um, i'm pretty sure we accept anything as long as it's not too violent, or inappropriate. but we do have light swearing ^^

um, most people here have right to left but mine is left to right and there doesn't seem to be much of a problem

i hope that answers your questions

you should ask ki, he's the one in charge after all ^^

1. There is no restriction on Japanese or Western format for the mangas you submit. You just indicate the direction it is read on the first page of your manga.

2. I think we are mainly working on shoujo mangas, but shounen mangas are welcome too. We also have action mangas like Lwando's Arcane Malevolence and Yukihime's upcoming Goddess Project. We accept mangas of all kinds, except porn, adult-related or 'extreme' violence. Material suitable for all audience is preferred. If it is slightly 'dark' and contain a reasonable amount of bad language, you can put up a note before your manga to warn the readers =)

Wicked!

I will get something submitted when it's done but don't hold your breath I am learning manga studio as I go on this project, I find I don't learn quick unless I'm thrown in at the deep end.

I think it would be best for me to send the script for the first chapter to the authorative figures here so you can check to make sure it is acceptable or tell me what I need to edit. Better that than I complete the whole thing and then get told it's a bit too much.

KiHiwatari: I would hazard a guess you are the best person to send this to?

MuJushin>> You can work on a few pages and open a new thread in this section. (See the first post of this thread for format). If you get approved (which is always the case), you will become part of the group and would be required to submit mangas regularly.

Before approval, it is best to post in the forum so everyone can judge. After acceptance you can send the pages to me to be put up in the issues.

Hello.. o///o
Uhm, I wanted to ask, does 'DREAM' get published? (like shojo beat, shonen jump, ect..)
I feel so dumb for asking.. >///<
(I think i have more questions... but i'll ask later.. Dx "orz)

MADxxasxaHATTER>> Sadly, no, we don't. We only post our issues online for free reading =)

-Ki

Ooh, ok.
c- =///=
I'm thinking... perhaps... about applying, but, my computer doesn't let me save my files any smaller than 500kb... T///T
Would that be a problem? "orz

Oh... I don't think that's a problem if your image size is 450x650 pixels. If the file memory size is too large I may help you reduce it =)

-Ki

thats odd.... coz i have never heard a computer hating something to be small.

Ah, thankyou~! ;u;
Oh, Uhm.. I've saved two samples ( both 450x650 pixels..) but the file sizes are 523 KB and 496 KB...
Is there any way I could reduce the size? "orz

(Thankyou for answering my questions, bdw. ;u; I always ask too many questions.. Dx )

To reduce the size the only thing you can do is to reduce the quality of the image... if you are using photoshop, when you use "Save As..." to save as a jpeg file, you can alter the quality of the image to reduce the image size.

Note: New edit added to first post, basically it is as follows:

Applications only apply to MANGA SERIES submissions. If you only want to submit one-shots, you can e-mail your submissions to me (Ki.Hiwatari@gmail.com) at any time, together with your NAME and CONTACT E-MAIL and your one-shot will be included in our issues when there is space.
