| Give an example of a manga who's genre or theme you would want to write about wether its setting or the premise of the characters that could sprout from such a theme or genre whatever I suppose one of the stories in my head would be something a sci-fi mystery a girl in a maze-like junkyard chased by flesh creatures is looking for an android to protect her she tries to awaken some of the androids clearly broken or decayed with outstretched arms and heads sliding off their mechanical skeletons she comes across one that lays dismembered in a cracked and disgusting bathtub with oil dripping out of a tube leaking into the tub the android is separated into many pieces head from the neck the left leg is separated into the ankle and foot while the androids right arm is nowhere to be found |

| A short school life drama or slice of life or comedy because I'm not very motivated for longer complicated series and I'm too lazy to do a bunch of research for historical or fantasy setting world building |

| A mix of LotGH and Star Wars. Less politics and more focus on a band of brothers going on an epic space adventure, kinda like Cowboy Bebop. A mix between smugglers and explorers, but written in a grand setting filled with many planets, alien races and cultures. |

| @TheGuiltMan Never seen it, but damn it sure sounds nostalgic! :D Definitely going to watch it, thx! I'm surprised there are no big space shows nowadays. Isekai is dominating the market for quiet some years now. 1 Can hope that it's time for mecha & space genre to have anime after isekai :D Mecha genre needs some love aswell (Gundam ain't it for me). |

| a couple won a lottery and their baby was sent to space to escape the now uninhabitable earth due to (climate change/war/alien invaders idc) eventually crash landing in a open cave system on a foreign planet (think a mix of Danmachi's Dungeon and Made in Abyss Mineshaft) the baby matures in the cryo chamber and breaks out way too late, causing all of the materials and documentation left on the ship to be unrecognizable meaning there is a sole human adult with no concept of humanity or himself stuck on an unknown planet with an unknown enviroment, queue fantasy races, underground kingdoms + tribes, unusual weather patterns deadly sunlight i could go on forever but you get the picture |

| I would love to say slice of life because it's my favourite genre (slice of life with NO ROMANCE that is) but I know I would be ASS at writing slice of life. I would probably be much better at writing action. |

| The one that i have always wanted to find is a completely emotionless main character i dont care if hes weak or not i just want a complete emotionless mc through out the end so i think that will be the one |
| I do write stories. So, I have a lot to tell. But to become a writer means dying without food in your lifetime, in my country. So, I just pass my time by writing. Though I know I have some good plot to recon. If I draw a manga, though I don't have the skill to draw, so, I might wanna collaborate with an artist. The genres I wanna try are mystery, comedy as I can write this type of story most. |
| I could never write manga, as I have zero art skills, but I have given thought to light novels. I would love to write a western one (I mean cowboy kind of western). And Maybe a tokusatsu, as you don't see a lot of that lately. or maybe I'm just not finding them |

Comics aren’t that popular in my country and manga is quite unknown for general masses. To become a write, which I will say I do have the talente, even if it sound arrogant. But to establish yourself as a writer is too tough. Being only son, I don’t have the freedom to write. I have to focus more on family then my life. Another thing is that my mother tongue isn’t english. As a result we dont have enough opportunity to do like wattpads or other online writing. Even if I do that, it will just worthless try. To publish a book? You have to pay around 30-40k in our currency, which will be something like 350-500 usd, which I a lot for us as our gdp is like 1200 usd. So, you can see reality to become a writer is too thin with massive competition, for which I don’t have the ground field too. As for your suggestion, I can learn drawing from scratch. But will I do it? Answer is no. I rather write than draw as I know it will be pointless. I am 25 years old, so total Career change isn’t possible. I do have a dream to publish some day. I am doing ground work for my work for last 3/4 years... But becoming mangaka or associating with an artist isn’t quite possible from where I stand. Thanks. |

I used to think about being a cartoonist/manga-ka when I was younger, so naturally this question came up in my head a lot. I think it would be fun to make a manga that I personally would want to see more of out there or read myself. Here are some ideas of what I'd probably make:
I would also like to try my hand at joining the crazy isekai trend, but with more of an emphasis on any amount of these aforementioned elements in it (most likely the fairy tale theming though) instead of video game stats and stuff. It's strange that I enjoy many RPGs and even liked an older-styled isekai like Magic Knight Rayearth, yet I'm not really interested in most of the video-game themed isekai that's plaguing all over the industry at the moment. Even the shoujo demographic is filled with these types of isekai, though they're usually more about otome games (which I don't play at all). I guess I'm just the oddball around here. I would probably publish work in a shoujo magazine like Nakayoshi or Ribon, since most of what I read is shoujo and I genuinely like most shoujo art styles.  I will most likely make very short series... the longest I could see myself writing up to is like 7 volumes or something. |

| A series that's set in the very, very distant future, a future where humanity has uploaded itself onto a highly advanced computer built near a black hole. Inside said computer, humans live in a variety of different universes (I say universes but genres would be more accurate. Some live in a high fantasy world, some live in a sci-fi world, some live in regular boring world). The main conflict of the series comes because the world no longer functions as it used to. At some point after the simulated reality was started up, certain humans figured out how to gain more control over the system, leading them to basically control all of humanity like a god. Some of them get defeated by other gods, others maintain their power and a precarious balance is maintained until a new generation of gods try to take over. |
| I would write about the life of the truck driver that isekais people |
 |
| about a man who's different in other people struggling to live |
| an adventure mistery focused on the chracters, i would focus on the characters while doing worldbuilding and unraveling the mistery, iì'd also put time travel and gneocide inside of ti because why not |
| I've been waiting for a thread like this! a manga that starts off happy and gets dark. I live for series that do this, especially when they do it in very clever ways. |
| A nice slice of life of a highschool with kids with superpowers. Think of it as a slice of life version of my hero academia with few fight scenes and more expanded worldbuilding |
 |
| One with a war kind of setting. Maybe a shounen one as well but the first option is more appealing to me. (Does one with fanservice count?) |
 |
| I've been working on a long fantasy story for a while which would still be my #1, but I've been reading short stories by Thomas Ligotti for the past while and it really makes me wanna write some sort of a series that would be in-between cosmic horror and psychological thriller. Would probably have to break the golden rule of weird fiction to make it work - I'd have to explain SOMETHING - but I think that'd be a fun place for a story to be. Only question is what that would look like - I had one idea that I was fairly enamoured with that would deal with an alternate universe inside of a dream that can rewrite history, but messing around with time is suuuuper hard to write consistently, so I think I might have to rework it. God I wish I could draw lol. That'd make things a whole lot easier. |
| I would definitely make a manga about competitive gaming. It would be fun to draw all the different scenes in video games. |
 |
| I'd definitely write something about youkai since those tend to be my favorite kinds of manga. Plus I've written Touhou fanfiction all unpublished so I'm experienced with writing/researching youkai to use in my theoretical manga. |
My greatest contribution to this website:  |
| I'd love to turn any dnd campaign I've run into a manga honestly. |
 |
| I will write manga with dark drama genre, psychology and put it in Seinen magazine, and I will only make it into a small series maybe it will be 5 volumes ?. I've always wanted to make manga with the psychological genre and about the hardships of life,for example,like Oyasumipunpun and Shounen no Abyss,that kind of thing. |
