Become a Mangaka: Never carry limits!

Become Mangaka is a series of manuals that is aimed at young and aspiring authors, who wish to learn how to write and draw manga, and to develop the storytelling of Japanese comics. But what differentiates a manga from a Western comic? How to get into the spirit of manga and understand the secret of their success?

Midori Yamane’s manuals, published by Comicout, are dedicated to the writing and drawing of the manga, to the development of storytelling, with modes also applicable to European comics. Midori Yamane explains that manga are able to emotionally involve the reader, making him identify with the characters and enter the scenes. In particular, the third volume of Diventare Mangaka develops the rhythm of the story and the value of the cartoons. You will learn to understand the different layouts, classic or creative, the use of the blurred images "live", so frequent in manga in the most exciting moments, creating the right feeling of narrative timing and relationship of the characters in the "real" space of the scene.
