jubacard Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Hello everyone my name is Julian Barragan but y'all can call me Jubacard here lol. I'm a proffessional filmmaker from Colombia that for some reason decided to start writting a manga lol. I'm familiar with the rules of story structure and I add my flare to it, but this is for sure my first attempt at a shonen format. The lore of the story Centers Around The Morai Agency. They have the job of fixing time anomalies throughout space and time. Matsuko is our rebel member of Morai, and ise, our protagonist is a first semester college student who doesn't know what to do with his life, they meet and go on crazy space and time adventures. It's done in a screenwritting format but with some liberties taken. Every type of comment of suggestion is recieved! thank you! I wanna write as much as possible. If any of you want to draw any of the situations or characters, I'd love to see what this story can inspire. Hey, maybe a collab with someone?

Seshi Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Your image links aren’t working. How about typing them here but in spoiler tags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jubacard Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Absolutely. For some reason I can't see the edit post so I'll put them here. Here's the story pilot. Not sure if it should be a One shot/3-4 manga chapters or how to properly split them, but as it is right now, it is meant to be read as 4 different chapters.

Seshi Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I liked chapter 1. Seems you have a pretty interesting concept and characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jubacard Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Thank you! I'm actually gonna start working with an artist to get this first story (Until they rescue the Tashnar) properly made. Any thoughts on the characters or the story so far? Does it catch your attention? I wanna polish the story as much as posible before I show the manga form. Edited April 2, 2019 by jubacard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seshi Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I’d suggest an edit for general English grammar and typos. Also there’s a part that’s unclear to me.. since it seems to be the same scene? Is the intro a flashback of when Matsuko and Ise meet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jubacard Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) 100% with the typo stuff. And the intro is just the beginning of that day, but since by that point Ise hadn't gotten any blue blood on him, he just didn't see them.

Seshi Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I couldn’t determine if that was the case due to the dialogue in the intro scene.. I’d polish that part to make it more clear if you can 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Some of the links weren't working for Chapter 2. So I was unable to fully understand what was going on. I think it's good that it started with a bang. You got right into it. This would look great as an anime. With a good artist you can portray the chase scenes in an exciting manner. It might also be a good idea to ask feedback from fans who enjoy this genre. Personally, I don't watch too many action anime. Hope they will see this thread and comment. I would love to see the storyboard of this though. As a manga is a very visual medium. But I feel you're on the right track. Just maybe cut down on the flashbacks? It might be hard to pull off in manga. It being static images. Feel free to post on the Writing Tutorials by the way. I'm sure people will appreciate it.

jubacard Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 I'm letting the characters develop a bit more before I chose a name (I take forever with it lol, trust me I even research baby name sites XD) but I also wanted to see what you guys thought , a "he/she totally sounds like a " type of thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illusion of Terra Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I'd go with the askew one, it seems different. the rectangle one is something I would just superficially glance at 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seshi Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Wow! Your artist is doing a great job bringing this story to life. I’m enjoying the rough sketches, it’s easy to imagine the story alongside (I remember most of it without having to go back an read). Love the characters, the crocodile thing looks like a cool dragon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the last sketch update until the one shot is done. I'll update the cover page once its done and someo ther stuff, but for actual manga pages, it'll head to medibang.
