Pretty straight forward. Here's one of the panels I'm currently working on while working on this project.

Hi! New to this sub but not new to the manga scene here, I just wanted to ask a somewhat meta question and hear your thoughts especially after hearing about Kishimoto’s comeback. At this point in time, is it even possible for a new series to reach the heights of previous titles like Naruto/Bleach/One Piece?

Obviously those three are incredible mangas (with loads of haters to boot) in their own right, but it also feels like they’re a product of their era. An era where anime wasn’t mainstream, where the internet was developing, without Netflix/Crunchyroll and more importantly without the current fast-paced culture of social media.

Jump has always been hyper competitive, but the competition feels… Different nowadays. To me, it just doesn’t feel like a new series can ever get to those heights again regardless of quality if only because of the current climate of the world. It seems impossible unless we somehow rewind the clock technologically.

What do you think? Am I coping or is this a good observation?

Turns out making manga is very hard but also pretty fun

I could listen to his music while drawing it lol

Known music artist. Just envisioned him as a swordsman with a summoning technique I guess.

A Kodansha editor recently reviewed my manga (there was an event in Peru!) and I made a video about the experience, what I presented, and what I learned from it.

The video is in Spanish, but it has English subtitles, so I hope you can enjoy it even if you don’t speak Spanish.

If you find it interesting, please leave a like, comment, and share it so it can reach more people. I really enjoy sharing what I learn through my channel, and your support helps me keep growing it and reaching more artists.

And if you’d like to check out the manga I presented, you can read Silphium on Manga Plus Creators. It currently has 5 chapters available, and chapter 6 will be released in a few days, marking the end of Volume 1.
