What You Want To Make Your Manga Comic Based On

you have to think of what to make of your manga comic, i mean like some times where your setting is, is what it can be mostly about. Like my favorite manga comic "Gakuen Alice" which was based on a school of kids with powers. Or sometimes maybe the setting has nothing to do with the story like in "shugo chara" which is still one of my favorites. Also not just manga has the story based on the setting like there is "Alice In Wonderland" which is a classic regular story. The story is based on the setting (in a rabbit hole). This is why it is good to think of what your manga comic will be based on will it just have a main idea or will it have something to do with the setting.

If School Were A Manga Comic

if school were a manga comic it would not be a kinda a bad one. Because you would just see the characters learn stuff in school all day long. Like in manga comics sometimes the character is going to school but they make it so that it is amusing and skip most of it. I love the school i am at right now but sometimes it can get pretty strange, like everyone thinks there so special if they hold the door open or pass out the math journals! So imagine a comic about kids in class (boring) and they all wanted to pass out math journals and open the door. ( no offence to people who think that is cool but i am new to this school and to my opinion it is pretty strange but i guess it could mean that your special). anyways it would be a very boring manga comic that even the author would tell her friends not to buy it! Well sometimes people do a whole day of school like gakuen alice my favorite book ever, but it has to be funny or interesting. Because if it's not it would basically be like going to school yourself (boring) !

How Is Your Character special?

it is important to give your main character a good character trait you could give her a regular trait and look at another one of my posts. or you can give her a trait and a back story. Like something that happened to her parents and it continues onto her or that she was born with a special power that she never knew of! Well i will tell you more traits with backstories to go along with them now.
1. a few friends friendly, cheerful , clumsy. parents had a super power that is passing on to them but she does not know it
2. smart, calm. Turns out to be some sort of cyborg
3. nervous, shy, intelligent. gets her super power on her own and tries to hide it from her parents.

now you can do a lot more and even mix these up it is not like a character goes with a certain ability!
