Do you like manga?
Have you ever drawn a manga?
When you draw a manga, you want someone to read it.
Before the development of SNS, it was the royal road to win a prize in a magazine and make a debut, but now it is different.
You can now post your work on Twitter and blogs and reach your readers.
Nowadays, there is no way not to use SNS.
Experienced people tell me that if you don’t want to be exploited and get sick, it’s a good idea to publish your work on your blog or Twitter.

The performers look shining because they are watching things on the prepared stage.

Anyone who wants to post in a magazine and make a debut in a magazine, want to make a hit in a famous magazine, or have drawn a manga will dream of it at least once. But this can be said, fortunately or unfortunately, because you can see things on the prepared stage. Once you get to know the prepared stage karakuri and behind the scenes, you will realize that everything that looked shining until now was an illusion.

It’s a sad reality, but as soon as the cartoonist stands on the prepared stage and starts the show, he begins to be exploited. The audience doesn’t know the darkness behind the scenes, so naturally the performers on the stage can’t help but look shining.

Cartoonist debuts and hits are events that can only be called miracles

It’s an experience story, but the debut of a manga artist is an event that can only be called a miracle. The fact that a work becomes a hit can only be said to have greater luck than that. It goes without saying that the author has the ability, but that alone cannot make a debut or a hit. It can only be said that something beyond human intelligence is working. It was the same as when I met an editor who found me as a cartoonist and called out to me, and so was the editor who gave me advice without giving up, and the name was accepted by the editorial department. That’s right, the manuscript arrived safely (now it’s digital production and posting, but it wasn’t the case in the past), and so is the work being supported by many people. If any one is missing, the magazine debut or hit will not come true. This can only be called a miracle anymore.

It is certain that this is not the case if you make an effort. If you want to bet your life on such a manga, it’s definitely better to have more choices. The magazine debut is largely due to the editor’s intentions, and you can’t do it without luck, so if you just want to make your debut, you should do it on Twitter. Growth will be fast because you can get a response from readers by setting up on the start line early. After all, readers aren’t reading your manga in the hope that it will sell to everyone, so as long as you announce it as a hobby, you won’t get the devilish criticism of mental humor.

Transferring copyright is like saying “please exploit”

When you publish a work through a publisher, the copyright of the work is transferred to the publisher. You can find out by checking it because it is written in the application guidelines of the publisher. It says that if you post and win the award, please transfer the copyright to the publisher. Transferring copyright means giving you the right to use your work as other person like. Even if you are dissatisfied with the way the copyrighted work is used, you cannot complain or say it. Since you give the right to use the copyrighted work as other person like, They can make money by turning the character of the copyrighted work into a merchandise, or use it for pachinko to lure Goim. Where is the profit going? How much is it returned to the author?

Even if you can draw a manga and make your debut and publish your long-cherished work, only 10% of the royalties will be in the pocket of a manga artist. If 10,000 books of 500 yen are printed, the royalties are 500,000. Where does the remaining 90% of royalties flow? Isn’t it exploited at this point?

If the editor in charge touch with you, you will not be able to draw what you want to draw

Obviously, if you make manga a business, you need to make a work that sells. What the reader wants is more demanding than what you wants to draw. Even if you don’t want to draw, you have to draw whatever is boring if the reader wants it. Also, many editors are not the people who draw manga, so they don’t understand the feelings of manga artists. The editors are also human and have a taste, so they will mercilessly hit the works they dislike. That is noticeable for newcomer to Manga world.

The work of manga is a clear reflection of the author’s tastes and thoughts. Only the person who has been criticized or denied how painful it is can know. Even if you know that you should think of your work separately from yourself, it’s difficult to stay motivated by an editor who criticizes with a deduction method. Isn’t it strange that there is no correct answer in manga in the first place, but the whereabouts of your work depend on the sense of the editor who hit it again? The mechanism by which people without a sense of art select, criticize, and rank people with a sense is really ridiculous.

Hell where even if you draw a name and submit it, you will not generate a single coin if your name die

Editors are basically not as generous as new cartoonists. If you don’t draw your name constantly and submit it yourself, you will soon be forgotten. Moreover, no money is generated at the name stage. You can finally get the manuscript fee as a manuscript. The name does not pass once. It’s rough to rewrite it three times. Even if you rewrite it three times, it may be lost due to the editor’s intention. If you don’t pass the name, you can’t move to the manuscript, so naturally you won’t get a 1 sen coin. It is not uncommon in the industry for this situation to continue for more than a year. This would be nothing but hell.

I’ve never seen anything outside the publishing industry that lets me draw a name and work for free without signing a contract. Even when I was a freelance writer, it was natural to sign a contract first. I think it’s a dirty way to draw a name without paying for newcomers. A pure and inexperienced child does not even realize that he is being exploited.

Debuting through a publisher is a detour in this era

In today’s Internet age, you can publish your work on Twitter and blogs without having to go through a publisher. Through a publisher, it takes too long to publish a work. Unless you’re a super big rookie who debuts in the first post, it will take at least a year. It’s too inefficient nowadays.

Manga is a world where there is no correct answer and no one knows what to win. Even the author who made the hit work often hears that the second work is discontinued. If so, you should draw whatever you want and announce it on Twitter and blogs, without worrying about the reader’s eyes or the place of presentation.
