I love the way learn to draw manga breaks down making manga into an easy step by step manner. I would've continued to be so lost, if I didn't discover this channel. Thanks for your help! Your guys are the best!☺
My intention was to make Seinen, but I wondered if it had slipped into shounen. Im glad to hear that its still, 100% Seinen, evben if it intentionally leans heavily into seinen elements :) As i tend to say when presenting my story, the intention is; "for people who grew up loving shounen, but wish that the themes applied more to them as adults" . Based on your criteria, it seems im on the right path
I already figure out my demographic and genres. The demography is Shonen so I don't think I need it rn but in future It might be useful to me. So, I'm saving this video for future if I had any Seinen story idea...
Another thing about Seinen is that at lot of them arent even necessarily mature or complicated, a lot of Moe slife or life are Seinen, Non Non Biyori is a pretty simple manga about cute girls doing cute things and its Seinen lol (oh thats pointed out in the video)
@@aphlearntodrawmanga right! Which makes it kinda funny when there is an overlap of moe with shoujo, since it's roots with Bishoujo characters basically started there =w=
@@aphlearntodrawmangaHello thank you for this video of Demographics Series.. I'm eagerly waiting for the difference between SEINEN and JOSEI DEMOGRAPHICS 🙏🙏🙏
Is it possible you could make a video on how to write Josei? I have a lot of ideas for some josei manga, but not a lot of feedback on how to even get started. 😅
NYAHAHA! The only "problem " is, I have these One Piece like worldbuilding (Whimsy skyislands, no grounds just clouds, etc), humour, and characters (Like furries, humans, etc) which is shonen-like, yet seinen themes like faith in gruesome/darkest times, purpose, redemption of a mercenary, etc. Any thoughts on the potential demographic?
@@aphlearntodrawmangaMaking it seinen can make me go deeper with the themes, which is really great. But, do you think I can make it adventurous and full of camaraderie as One Piece? (Sounds interesting to me, haha!) Thank you!
It really depends on who your main audience is, what they’re into and how you want to market your story. Before you dive into creating a 100-chapter masterpiece though, you need to watch this video: th-cam.com/video/gQLZMmrXz9M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CWp-98HxncxXejso
I and my friends are making an anime known as 'Golden Dragon Rings'.Which is a shonen manga.We are very interested in it.Will it work You guys comment.And i am only 12yrs old.
50 years combined experience means absolutely nothing. That could mean 5 mangakas with 10 years experience each or 50 mangakas with 1 year each. Also who says the years are equal? It could be 1 with 45 years and 5 others with one year each.
@@jenniferm914 ohh i get that it’s so confusing trying to start off so this is what I did while I was working on my manga, read all of it if you have absolutely no clue on how to start your manga The things you need pencil- for storyboarding always make a rough draft so you can either fix it up or change a thing but not have it be the official page so when you put it on the official page you have a guide drawing it a bit small would help a bit And then a pen for: the manga making but you might wanna have a g pen Now one big thing I would say is go online and study as many manga artist for at least a couple days but every so often is best so you can learn from people who been doing it way longer and for a long period of time Make sure for what manga your making to grab a lot of pictures it will let you draw things easier like buildings, body poses and normal everyday things For regular panels I do about 4-6 for a big spread page just one and showing multiple reactions from people about more then 6 You should make a S or Z with how the panels flow so readers don’t get distracted Make poses very dynamic with for shortening when you have dramatic scenes or a iconic type of scene you wanna make stuck in a person head Make dialogue simple but where it seems like they are humans People usually respond fast don’t respond or think and then respond When your making movements don’t show every single pose and how they move cause then that would look like a animation When making a background make a base with a ruler I promise it Would help alot cause then you can see if it fits in perspective cause if you don’t you’ll confuse yourself on where you should put the building if you have a setting make a a simple drawing of the area so you can add things if you want and not have it be different from last drawing of a building Now, characters that are human should have things like what makes them themself and making bold and stand out with clothes like a big hat or coat or maybe crazy hair My character have a asymmetrical hair style where it’s like good and bad he have a puff coat with fur around the top of the coat and with his smug face and hotheadedness which makes him stand out and if you put a silhouette it would make him look noticeable My main character have a pineapple like hair style that makes him stand out also with him having a sweater for his clothes he will have when in the story from a girl who knits and sew this build and show that the mc is nice and caring. That’s what I do for Making manga I hoped this helps this is a good bit I know

@@jenniferm914I think to start is simply shapes thats not were start I started with coping and reference but it's important for shapes it can help you with buildings and body parts
I will be honest, I can't stand shônen anymore. It was my favourite genre during my teens as well as shôjo, but the older I got I started to not be able to "endure" most of the manga targeting those demographics anymore. I started reading Berserk and Vagabond this year for the first time, also having been looking more and more into Naoki Urasawas works. And holy shit, this stuff I was not interested at all in when I was younger hit so hard. Especially Berserk is a series I fell in love with because it is so dark and gritty but on the other hand feels like a josei (I mean, look at the artstyle which is definitely influenced by josei manga styles). Also, I am an artist myself who is more fond of good anatomy,details and lighting and the recent shônn series especially often have artstyles I just can't stand. xD Another artist I love is Shuzo Oshimi due to the themes he depicts. Speaking about shôjo I still can read and love, there are series like Nana, Mars, Yona or Red River. It makes me so sad that there aren t more good josei out there. The only one I can think of I really fell in love with is "Nina the starry bride" which also got an anime this season. This series really surprised me on another level, like I didn't expect anythign going into it but then holy shit what a ride xD

Glad we could help! How’s it going with the progress on your manga?
@@aphlearntodrawmanga Great! I made three short one shots. Thanks for asking 👍🏾
I love Learn To Draw Manga. I had no idea Seinen was a demographic .
I am ready to make my seinen on lost cat meet a family who live in a building forbidden to animals
Can’t lie that’s a good storyline
@@AniwhereOfficialagree
@@AniwhereOfficial It's a real manga called "Chi sweet home"

So most apartments 😂😂😂. Jokes aside, I love this idea.

Exactly! The Japanese older male population is a big market in terms of selling moe girl characters and goods.

shonen 😏 i looked it up last week when i was looking for somrthing to read that was shonen
Now the first thing I need is to find my lost pencil

We recommend picking one as your main demographic.
As we mentioned in our video, One Punch Man is also quite shonen-like but is ultimately a seinen.

Yeah! another great video. I'm planning on making a shonen when I'm 18 but it couldn't hurt to learn on a wider scale. Right?
Why the need to wait? What are you working on right now?
Seinen didn't always have every male protagonist. It has female ones too.
No then it becomes josei
I'm serious about that.
I'm still 13 but I've begun on the story, when I'm an adult ill join the program then publish
I don't think punpun is appropriate to be mentioned in any video 🙏😭

True. We have 2 pro Japanese mangakas on our team. One with about 30 years of experience (and has her own anime) and one with 20. :)
What is Monster than?
A detective mystery Thriller.
what if when luffy becomes king of the pirates oda changes the demographic to seinen and luffy seeks fulfilment in life
May you please do a shojo video
Soon! 😉
I was 9 when I first watched an episode of aot
Why limit yourself tho?
Limit yourself to what exactly?
@aphlearntodrawmanga to this style
This should help me to understand how to draw Manga 😢I'm still lost 😢
What are you lost on?
@@Telkkinzzz-art Everything
@@jenniferm914 ohh i get that it’s so confusing trying to start off so this is what I did while I was working on my manga, read all of it if you have absolutely no clue on how to start your manga
The things you need pencil- for storyboarding always make a rough draft so you can either fix it up or change a thing but not have it be the official page so when you put it on the official page you have a guide drawing it a bit small would help a bit
And then a pen for: the manga making but you might wanna have a g pen
Now one big thing I would say is go online and study as many manga artist for at least a couple days but every so often is best so you can learn from people who been doing it way longer and for a long period of time
Make sure for what manga your making to grab a lot of pictures it will let you draw things easier like buildings, body poses and normal everyday things
For regular panels I do about 4-6 for a big spread page just one and showing multiple reactions from people about more then 6
You should make a S or Z with how the panels flow so readers don’t get distracted
Make poses very dynamic with for shortening when you have dramatic scenes or a iconic type of scene you wanna make stuck in a person head
Make dialogue simple but where it seems like they are humans
People usually respond fast don’t respond or think and then respond
When your making movements don’t show every single pose and how they move cause then that would look like a animation
When making a background make a base with a ruler I promise it Would help alot cause then you can see if it fits in perspective cause if you don’t you’ll confuse yourself on where you should put the building if you have a setting make a a simple drawing of the area so you can add things if you want and not have it be different from last drawing of a building
Now, characters that are human should have things like what makes them themself and making bold and stand out with clothes like a big hat or coat or maybe crazy hair
My character have a asymmetrical hair style where it’s like good and bad he have a puff coat with fur around the top of the coat and with his smug face and hotheadedness which makes him stand out and if you put a silhouette it would make him look noticeable
My main character have a pineapple like hair style that makes him stand out also with him having a sweater for his clothes he will have when in the story from a girl who knits and sew this build and show that the mc is nice and caring.
