HELP! I want to make a fan manga series but don't know what it should be about. Could anyone write a few Ideas (or origional stories) to help me get started? You can also make fan made caracters by describing them (Name, hairstyle,behavior, etc.)I also, need an Idea for a bad guy. P.S.: Make sure that everything makes sence.

u need a complete psycho! as the main character!!! that'll be fun!!! they can have a useless power like being able to see through invisible walls.(okay, not to that extent, but u get what I mean, right...? -no?!) I dunno what the story should be about, but any good story needs a psycho! hehe <(^_*)>

Hah...wanna make an anime isit...dats cool keep me posted if ure done with da series rite..as for ure question for a start maybe u can start by not bringing in da bad guy character first but just do a start on da hero instead and his frens...his past, his history b4 u go on to tell abt his journey(dats when he meets da bad guy) and hence his adventure begins. So an original start could be there were this bunch of frens(depends on u how many,4 or 5 is a gd number) learning in da same dojo since young...when they got older, they went their separate ways and never met each other ever since. so dats when u show each of their journeys...and here is da most important part of them all...one of them must turn bad! in da end the rest of dagd guys ended up chasing da same bad guy till they met each other n were reunited. Dats da point of time when they realised dat da bad guy was also once their fren.

im not sure if anybody had written abt dis b4 but dats my original idea thugh. so if u feel like using it, itll be my utmost pleasure but dun forget to credit me thugh alrite!

neway as 4 da bad guy, he must be soooo... strong dat its difficult for da gd guys to beat him cos u wuldnt want ur series to end dat quickly if he was easily beaten. he must look bad of cos..make his face more chiselled and eyes sharper...his hair part of his face(you can use dis during da part when da gd guys found out his identity like a scar back when they were in da dojo or sumtin).

Ya, dats abt all dat i haf for an idea hope it comes in handy for u, n dun forget to keep me posted once da manga is ready rite! anymore questions u can keep posting it here ill drop by frequently to read it..damn excited abt it actually esp if u wanna use my idea...

no offence, but if you ask other people for plots instead of making your own, you probably will not really enjoy making it. But thats just my opinion.

One girl should be short with a pigtale and be a little light headed while the other girl should have shoulder length brown hair. Put whatever personality you want on her. Mabey she always wares (sorry for spelling) long sleeve shirts for some reason that she won't say until half way through the story that ends up being part of some odd plot. There should be a guy with blue hair. Why? I duno, I just like guy's with long blue hair...anyway if you go with that guys plot the people shouldn't know that there old friend is the "badguy" for a good part of the story so..there's some kinda start. Good luck and if you need anything better just email me.

If the bad guy attempt to kill the good guy, what would he claim (a place) and for what reason?Describe other bad guys (at least 1 girl, and 1 to 3 guys.

will the people have super/abnormal powers, or will it be more of a comedy or what?

i reckon there should be 2 girls and 1 side character (male/female not important) who can be like a comical chaaracter, unless that's intended for the main one. if so then i reckon u should still have like a side partner like tama-chan (love hina) or p-chan (ranma), but they dont have to be as cute.

1 bit of advice - too many cooks spoil the broth!

ooh so u need 2 gerls..alrite then make da 5 frens..3 guys n 2 gals.. then one guy becomes bad..dat leaves us with 2 gd guys n 2 gd gerls to begin with..as for da main characters..i can gif u a brief description but u got to name them urself cos i aint japanese so i dunno how to name them...

da 1st gd guy...he is da best among da 5 frens..but he is not like da muscular sort or sumtin..jus normal built..but he is lightning quick n very skillful..i tink jus make his hair black and jus black floppy hair..dun gif him spiky hair cos i wanna make him look like a real cool sensible guy but when he fights..he fights like da devil..n dress him in red...u know da kinda tradisional japanese fighting outfit..sumtin like da street fighter ryu and ken but with long sleeves..u dun one him to look rugged with tattered sleeveless outfit

anyway da 2nd guy...he is da crazy one..funny,hot headed, da kinda guy dat always use his heart more than his head(dis always land him in all sorts of trouble), he is da taller of da two guys.. with a bandanna and sum stupid feather on it da red indian kind of type which he claims as a gd luck charm...spiky dark brown hair...shirtless but with a huge dragon tattoo oon his back..dis will make ppl tink dat he is a bad guy..but in fact he is actually a kind soul who likes to help ppl..its jus dat his character dats makes him look like a bad person because of his hot temper n aggresive nature..n he is secretly in luv with one of da gerls..

da 1st gerl..she is da sweet looking type..who is like da mother figure when da 4 of them reunited..when i say she is da motherly figure im not saying dat shes old or neting...she is da one who is responsible for da other 3 members..like food..washing stuff like dat..she is da gerl dat da 2nd guy liked secretly..but she is in luv with da 1st guy secretly also..she shuld wear sum kimono..hair tied in a bun which becomes loose when she is in a fight(but she seldoms get in fights thugh) a white kimono, sweet looking da kind of gerl who doesnt look sumone who can kick asses..black hair also..

2nd gerl..da youngest of da group..she was a foreign rich kid who sumhow got lost n ended up in da dojo when she was really young..as she grew older she wanted to look for her parents..she must haf orange hair..elegant..maybe u shuldnt put her in a ninja like suit..but i dunno wat other kinda outfit dat is suitable for fighting..dats for u to figure out..cos like i said she is elegant.. n she is really pretty also..da kind of hot chick dat makes any guys to water from their mouths...she is also secretly in luv with da hero..she must haf long orange hair jus after da shoulder...n she does not fight at all cos she is like i said elegant so it was up to da 3 others to protect her when in fights...

there i hope u like what i suggested but if not then u can try n modify it here and there..da reason why i make da two gerls to like da 1st guy bcos i tink dat there will be a point in time dat their feelings got known and made them to separate again after being reunited...and da 2nd guy got so upset dat he joined forces with da bad guy..but only temporarily of cos..b4 he joined again with da gd guys...

hey its all up to u to rite da story rite..i gave u a headstart with da story and da characters..so jus maybe u can continue from there.. neway as for da bad guy..gif him da bad guy look..not those like sum crappy face but a handsome looking guy whose hair covered part of his face which hides da scar on his face..his face shuld also be more chiselled as in thinner and eyes sharper...dis will gif da impression of a gd guy turned bad...

as for what da bad guy will achieve by beating da gd guys...hey its simple...there is dis one scroll dat teaches da last fighting technique which is guarded by protectors of da sacred technique..nobody was ever allowed to learn da technique bcos history had a dark past..sumone actually learnt it and when all out to gain control of da country..but he was defeated in da end by da great master himself who created da style of fighting...so da bad guy wanted to rule da country and he wnet out to seek for da scroll..

as for da gd guys they were contented with what they haf learnt but they got to hear abt da bad guys plan to retain da scroll by chance..they heard two guys talking abt da scroll and how he had managed to kill sum protectors of da scroll...so they felt like it was their responsibility to keep da bad guy away from getting da scroll..well dat all..dat i culd tink of..

o anymore help jus hit a msg again alrite..ill be glad to help n let me noe if u like da story n da characters..ciao

I've came up with some of the good guy's names:

Sanjiro(Main character/male)

Hiroji(2nd male)

Mayumi(1st female)

Nozomi (2nd/youngest female)

I'll probably change them later. To help go to http://business.baylor.edu/Phil_VanAuken/JapaneseNames.html

The series will be action/comedy. The main character will have abnormal powers. The youngest girl will have abnormal powers (but I can't figure out what those power are yet). All I can figure out is that they were learned from somewhere.

Hey..great thats a kickstart for ur manga..neway im alrite with any names..as long as it sounds like a hero and a heroin..but how abt da bad guys name..Sadatake i dunno it sounds bad..to me..but u can change if u want to..as for da powers...maybe da 4 gd guys power can compliment each others in da sense dat id u combine dis powers altogether it will create dis huuuuuggggeeeee.....power dat is so powerful dat it i dunno...its jus so damn powerful dats all..maybe da youngest gerl could haf sumtin to do like those magical powers..like u noe magic with all da spells n stuff..da gd guys with dis powerful sword..with sum magic stuff as well..da second guy jus haf gd fighting abilities n he can come out with stuff like da hadouken or sumtin..n da 1st gerl..she is like really damn smart..n has dis kinda like sixth sense dat can like sense when sumtin is wrong or sumtin..

You can try asking people you know what the manga series could be about. I need to know what do they carry with them that gives them super powers. I also need two more beginings.

-- Anonymous, June 16, 2003

hmmm...sure i can ask but it may take a couple of days cos i dun haf many frens who are like into manga series...but as for what that gifs them super powers...maybe they can haf a kinda amulet dat they wear ard their necks or sumtin..

i dunno if u wuld find it interesting..cos i do since i dun think that there is such mangas( maybe i dun read dat much manga i guess) that tells revolves da manga ard da bad guy..neway i was thinking abt instead of making da gd guys taking da centre stage...y not make a story abt a bad guy..his beginning, his quest for his ultimate prize( could be ultimate power or world domination kinda stuff), and also in da end his defeat...i dunno how it sounds to u but if u kinda like dis idea i can like try n come out with a storyline for dis..

I've posted a new question for the manga series for the other people who might of not seen this one.

I just thought of something this morning. What if a girl in the manga series woke up in some place she has never seen before, unaware that she is actually a bad guy.

Here's a suggestion: You could try like a young boy, unaware that he can transform into a cyber-like demon, living in the world that an evil corporation took over and the boy must find a way to stop them.

But, there's a twist. His whole family has been captured and becomes demon soliders created by the corporation. Well that could work that intelligent brain of yours.

well, since this is probably (and obviously) your first manga, then I think you should start small. A short story manga... I dunno, that;s my lowly opinion. Now, this so far sounds like it will be a bit of a shonen (boys) manga. I;m positive a girl will eventually pick it up and my sister's opinion is that you should have some romance etc. etc. Make sure you depict each fighting scene in a sort of 'slow-mo' thing. (Check Inu-Yasha mangas if you dunno what I'm talking aobut.) Well, don't try to be a Rumiko Takahashi too soon. And I won't contribute anymroe advice since whatever I say is 100 percent USELESS. Arigato. (thanks) Oh yeah, make sure you use names that correspond with each person's personality. Like if one girl uses the sword, call her sword in Japanese, simple! I dunno what sword is in Japanese though, sorry. I'm half American and didnt' bother to learn da lingo. See yaz!

I'm new to this thingy so uh,..hi? But i think if you're making bad guys and stuff you should make one girl char follow them around, then she should join them later w/ a disguise, then a few episodes later reveal her to the adience that shes the leader or the stratigist of the bad guys or something but the main char still doesnt know. ^_^;

you should try looking at such mangas turned favourite t.v shows like dragonball z but don't rip them off 'cos thats my favourite show. anyway i'm kind of a veteran at this ting but i don't have the answers. start small and then start planning out long saga that may show a boy turning to a great grandpa like dbz-gt any way why not make one of yo characters black. i dunno just a suggestion. anyway maybe your main character came out of some kind of school for bad dudes. anyway back to the idea about friends re-united they should get called up by the president trying to stop the bad guy from breaking into some high security chinese or japanese and heck why not korean museum and they are all surprised to see eachother. if you do use that idea you don't hav 2 credit me. peace out

maybe they each have some kind of weapon like the man character could hae a sword and another could have a kendo stick and the girls could have nunchuckas or a boomerang! (just a thought)

-- Anonymous, August 20, 2003

Dont know if this suggestion is to late, but you should start of with a mercenary organisation, where it will fit in with all youre other suggestions about friends and heroes. The plot can be like the hero starts bad, but gradually gets good because hes getting a conscience. And since it can be a sci-fie mercenary story you can have cool high tech weapons and abilities. Im not sure, but if you use any of this put my name in the credits. Sayonara...

I'm making a manga right now or uh... trying to. Any way, the bad guy should have light colored hair, white,blonde,ect. cause in anime, if you watch many, you see that most bad guys ussualy have lite colored hair (nives from trigun for example) in japan, everyone has black-ish hair. White or blonde are farther from ordanary. a mercanary idea though, is good. thats all i can say. i can't give away my idea. sry
