Ships in 1-5 business days: A New Theory for Manga Creation to Generate Infinite Stories and Build Worlds!
"Manga Original Scripts" are increasingly essential in the media mix industry. Hitoshi Otsuka, a leading figure in manga original scriptwriting, thoroughly dissects the entire process of "manga original script creation," which has never been widely known or critically examined until now. In the theory section, he analyzes the thought processes of original scriptwriters by examining the manga original scripts of Kenji Nakagami and Ikki Kajiwara, using keywords such as "pre-emptive literature" and "negative mediation." The practical section explains the methods and processes of "proposal documents" through real-life examples from Japan and the US, based on the author's own experiences. Sample proposal documents that creators and professionals can immediately learn from are included at the end of the book. The "original script" is the "universe"!
