MANGA!!
Consist of comics and print cartoons (sometimes also called komikku コミック​). In Japan, people of all ages read manga. The genre includes a broad range of subjects: action-adventure, romance, sports and games, historical drama, comedy, science fiction and fantasy, mystery, horror, sexuality, and business and commerce, among others. Manga are typically printed in black-and-white, although some full-color manga exist. In Japan, manga are usually serialized in telephone book-size manga magazines, often containing many stories, each presented in a single episode to be continued in the next issue. If the series is successful, collected chapters may be republished in paperback books called tankōbon. A manga artist (mangaka in Japanese) typically works with a few assistants in a small studio and is associated with a creative editor from a commercial publishing company. If a manga series is popular enough, it may be animated after or even during its run, although sometimes manga are drawn centering on previously existing live-action or animated films.

DA RULEZ!!
1) try and keep it about a page!! if u go a couple pages, that's fine!! it's no big deal!!

(edit) vixn-chan asked:
"... is it supposed 2 be a story or just a single drawing or perhaps a drawing with a theme or just a random drawing ??"
it can b any!!!

(edit) couple examples!!
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**


2) YOU have to be in the manga!! perhaps u might want 2 add your crunchy buddies!!
maybe friends/classmates outside of crunchy!! your bro!! he can b the villian!! kee kees!! Image
or maybe your sweet sis!! "hey!! don't say she's mean!!" how bout da parents?!!
& we can't leave out lil inu-chan!! neko-chan!! or whatever pets u may have!!
these r just suggestions!! besides yourself, anyone else is fine!!
ALL CHARACTERS MUST BE ORIGINAL!! YOU ARE NOT TO USE ANY ANIME/MANGA CHARACTERS!!


3) let's try and go for a japanese theme!! perhaps characters could be dressed in
kimonos/yukatas!! ninja/samurai outfits!! or how bout cosplay/loligoth!! this isn't an absolute rule but atleast try and include some jpn items/things in your manga!!


4) TRY AND USE HIRAGANA!! or atleast a combination of hiragana & english is fine!!
i think we should keep it simple and keep the writing from 'left to right' as i'm doing now!!
if u want to write from 'top to bottom' and/or 'right to left' that's fine 2!!
i'm not gonna take anything away from u!! it's your personal manga and i want u 2 b happy with it!!
Image

5) TAKE A FEW PICTURES (or scan) OF THE PROCESS!!! and don't forget to throw your signature (username) on your manga!!
note!! if any close-up shots r coming out blurry, consider setting your cam to 'macro'!! your manual should tell u how!!


6) pencil, colored pencils, pens, paints, crayons, u name it!! go 4 it!!
(edit) NO PHOTOSHOP TYPE PROGRAMS ALLOWED!!!
we doin dis old skool style!! "pencil 2 da paper!! pencil 2 da paper!! Image


7) u can submit up to 3 entries!!
