Manga for Teens: Making a Manga

Whether you have a story you’re ready to get down on the page or want to learn how to come up with an original idea, this is the class for you! You’ll learn how to create your own manga, with guidance every step of the way: from brainstorming and scripting your concept, to storyboarding a full manga and laying out the panels for each page. Make a one-shot comic, or the start of the next hit series—the choice is yours!

About Manga for Teens: Our manga courses for teens offer budding artists the chance to explore the rich world of Japan’s most popular cultural export in a group of like-minded peers and with guidance from professional artists.
