Ok within the last few months I've become a large manga and anime fan.
I was a fan before, but now it's a bit stronger.
I'm seriously addicted.
So badly that I've been dreaming in anime. One night I had such a great dream story, that I couldn't give it up. So, I chose to write it down. A week later I had to design a world for a fantasy assignment in my writting class. I made a descript world which is based apon what I wrote down, somehow, I got an A on that assignment. And I feel victorious, so I've decided that I want to make an actual manga based on it. I believe it to be pretty original to almost any manga, but keeps many of the same themes and ideas that many mangas have. I would be very interested in artists and writers that would like to collaborate with me. I would be very happy if the artists would commit to part of a volume.
Anyone can help in some way,
Either by changing somehing that is unliked or something like that.
Time Setting:Medeivel Japan or Europe, your pick
Natural Setting:A Group of Small Villages
Worlds:
Natural Earth:
The Earth that we have all come to know and love. Accessible to other worldly creatures.
Otherworldly Earth:
A spirit, monster, demon, goblin, fantasy beast filled world. The creatures here are almost invulnerable to natural human contact. Accesible to humans.. There are cities where humans live in this world. Humans and otherworldy creatures have learned to live together somewhat. There are still some creatures who hate the human race, and vice versa.
Some of the basic plot of the first few stories:
Samuel, the son of a man who is secretly an (assasin?) in the two worlds, is 17 and lives with his father in a small village. One day, Samuel spots a strange looking tattoo'd man talking to his father. Within a second, he sees his father brutally slaughtered by this man and his blade. The man looks back spotting Samuel. Samuel turns away, as to pretend he wasn't looking. He hears the man talking to him. Turning around he noticed within the three seconds he had been turned around, the man had gotten close to him. The man tells him that he must be Samuel. Samuel looks toward the man and asks why he had done what he had done to his father. The man tells him that his father had made mistakes, and that he had been lying to Samuel all of his life. He said if Samuel wanted to know the truth, he would seek him out.Samuel then attempts to strike the man as he had become upset. Samuel then wakes up, believing that this was all some strange dream, he goes out looking for his father, he doesn't find him. he realizes thathe hadn't dreamt, and his father was gone. He panicked and went out for his friend( a man who had ben friends with Samuel all of his life since grade school. He is big into the occult)
He finds his friend and explains to him what had happened. He tells about the slaying of his father and the tattoo'd man. His friend tells him that the description of the man is otherworldly, and there are only five pieces(some golden some silver) which can get you to and from the otherworld. He pulls out a book. He shows Samuel a page of a book which has the pictures of the pieces. Samuel instantly recognizes a piece. His father had given it to him to hide a year back. He told him that it was a valuable object. Samuel explained this to his friend. His friend was surprised. He then brought his friend to the exact place in which he had buried it. they dug until they hit a stone box. They opened the box to find the piece missing. Samuel then becomes enraged. His friend tries to calm him down, but something happens. Samuel appears to become a smaller bit stronger. His eyes become white and his face becomes split in half by a black streak which runs down the middle of it. His friend trys to restrain him, but somehow he immobilizes his friend, His friend then starts drawing symbols into the dirt and pours a liquid from his bag into it. The dirt changes to become a complete black color. His friend then throws it at Samuel before Samuel can get out into town to damage anyone. The dirt mixture then grows to cover Samuel completely. IT then hardens for a few minutes. Samuel trys to struggle out of it, but he can't. HE falls to the ground and the mixture continues to cover him until he is completely covered. Onceit is apparent thst Samuel has passed out, his friend commands the mixture to release. He then runs toward samuel and listens to hear if Samuel is alive. Once he confirms this, he drags Samuel back to his house and rolls him onto a couch. He then goes to sleep for the rest of the night.
And then from there on Samuel and his friend search the country for the other pieces. Each of which are known to be around a general area if they are in this world...
Oh and Samuel doesn't get his powers from any curse,
his father actually married an otherworldly humanoid type creature, which when angry would go into five stages of transformation, Samuel of which only entered stage one. Due to the fact that once you hit stage five you have the possibility of dying, and also due to the fact that the humanoid creatures were very powerful and in constant war, they have gone extinct and Samuel is the last of his kind. His father had hidden this from him for all of his life as his mother had died at his birth due to problems in the birthing process.
