Shonen(type of manga that I’m working on)

-Shōnen ( 少年), shonen, or shounen, is a Kanji word

literally meaning few years and generally referring to a typical boy, from elementary school through grade school age. It is used in everyday conversation when referring to the period of youth, including in legal wording referencing youth, without regard to gender. Shōnen manga is a popular demographic of Japanese comics, the most popular genre of which is battle manga which is generally about action/fighting but often contains a sense of humor and strong growing friendship-bonds between the characters.

Thinking hats

I feel excited and fresh every time I read his comics. His comics are understandable and inspiring for me. It makes me feel like I want to draw/ do some activities.

His comics makes me feel excited and cheerful but his comics are more complicated and harder to understand.

Hiro Mashima make this comic because his first comic “ the amazing adventure of Rave”, he thought that his comic need to be more popular so he make fairy tail. But the reason he created Rave is he wanted to be somebody and show his talent to other people.

Akimine Kamijyo make his work because his family and friends was amaze at his work and they pushed him so that Akimine would make a international / a popular manga/ anime using his talent.

If we compare his creation and another one, his story is almost the same. He should try to make different story.

His comics are confusing to understand. He should try to decrease the words and instead squish it in one page, he should put some in different page
