Ideas are the lifeblood of a manga artist. Go out in search of inspiration and gather plot points, then stuff your manga full of creativity.
Accumulate experience points and use them to train up your drawing, storytelling, and other skills.
When you think you've created a great one-shot, take it to a publisher! If you manage to make the "editor from hell" smile, it might just be the start of a fruitful relationship.

Definately a much more simplified Kairosoft game this time. Theres not a lot of interesting mechanics here and once you get to a good point publishing series it just seems very repetitive. Other Kairosoft games have done a much better job at keeping this repetitive loop going and this game just dosen't do it as well. On the other hand I do love manga so that definately helped in keeping me interested for a bit.

this game, even by kairosoft standards, is a bit grindy and repetitive. to that end, it emulates the actual mangaka experience perfectly! i love manga. i have always loved manga. often i have wanted to become a mangaka myself. this game scratches that itch very well. there's some small issues i have (chapter limits on series, minor UI issues, etc) but i can easily forgive them for the game they're in. a perfect combination of idle and involved gameplay. lots of numbers, but easy to digest.

This one is difficult to rate as for some people it might be really boring. This game needs a lot of imagination from you and is very repetitive. To me this is extremely immersive game with probably the slowest pace from all Kairosoft games. I love the idea of a grind from the bottom. I love as well to imagine the stories I am making. This is a game which you love and will be your top 3 of Kairosoft or one of the worst. If you can afford - get it and try it out. If not - just go for Anime one.
