RSOM 8
"Want to be a manga artist? No one makes it easier than TOKYOPOP."
--WIZARD
The competition for Rising Stars of Manga 8 has started! What is Rising Stars? Only the coolest and best way to get your foot in the door and take part in the Manga Revolution!
If you have no or little prior publication experience, entering the Rising Stars of Manga (RSoM) competition is the best way to introduce yourself to TOKYOPOP. Your entry will consist of a complete manga short story that is ready for publication. That means you and your team must be able to handle every aspect of manga creation: script, layout, pencils, inks, tones, and lettering.
Many people already know that finalists have the chance to pitch a full-length graphic novel series to the TOKYOPOP editors—we've signed up dozens of previous winners already. What you may not know is that even some of the manga-ka who did not win are currently working on TOKYOPOP projects that will see publication soon. Don't be discouraged if you don't win—enter again and again. Right now, RSoM is a great source for TOKYOPOP to find and hire promising new talent.
