I notice that there are a lot of Answerman questions regarding making your own manga. I just kind of wonder why is that.

It is a near-universal desire among humans to turn their hobbies into careers. Manga enthusiasts naturally want to make their own Manga, and they see how relatively "easy" it is. After all, we see countless times how bad Manga can get published, so many people think that even they can do better, if given the chance.
Number one, making a Manga is largely drawing and writing, which most humans can do to some extent anyway. You don't have to go to university for three years just to put a pencil to paper. Number two, they don't realise how hard it is to come up with a decent story, original characters, engrossing atmosphere, uncluttered but detailed art style etcetera. So the apparent ease lures them into thinking that they can do it, and their ignorance keeps the horrible truth hidden from them. Until they get rejected that is. A short sharp word to them now might save them pain and embarrassment further down the track. |
