Tokyopop holds a contest where mangaka competitors submit a short story manga entry. The winners will receive a monetary prize and their work will also be published by Tokypop in Rising Stars of Manga anthology. This is a great opportunity for the mangakas to go public and have higher possibilities to find editors and have their works published.
WELL, I read the Guidelines and Rules of Minitokyo and I think it's fine for me to shamelessly (though all out of good will! XD) promote a great artist and friend. Not only does her works possess gorgeous art but meaningful storylines, both funny and serious.
You have to be a tokyopop member to read BUT it doesn't take 5 minutes to sign in and become a member.
I assure (and reassure) that it will be time well invested IF you are looking for gorgeous art and great storylines. I'll deeply appreciate it for anyone to accept to use a little of their time and give it a read. ;) Thank yous and tell me what you think about it! <3 <3 <3
