hey guys i am thinking of writting a manga
so can you guys give me some ideas
I had assumed that if you wanted to write a manga is because you had an idea for one, but as that isn't the case I would just recommend reading manga yourself until you strike inspiration, we barely know anything about you so making a recomendation that you would actually really resonate with is just complete and utter luck
actually i have an idea on what the story is based but i just need sone ideas to make scenarios and built some arcs and stuff like that.
writing ideas for you when we dont even know how to make it cohesive with the invisible/untold basis of your story is... probably going to be a lot of work for everyone, yourself included
i do wish you luck though... it's just, at this point, im not sure what you would be able to reasonably ask from us at the moment unless you had more to give us
you could search for other sources/examples of media for inspiration which may comment on something important to your story or its characters or its arcs. those are things you would be better suited to know than we are unless we understood specifically everything you had in mind :')
"romance" or "slice-of-life" or "action" are all vague and broad and general now, often times you need a very specific and important concept that is personal to you that you can speak to and represent. or not, that might just be me projecting my own impressions, and that's sort of my point-- anything i could suggest would also be poorly-suited to your needs because i'm viewing this with my own preferences and assumptions and those are not quite your own;; it may be hard for you to even know what to do with them to connect them in any meaningful way (unless youre not looking for meaning? which is ok!! people like that too)
if i really had to, though...
here are some very general themes and elements i would include in various stories/narratives/media/characters i hope to create:
+ creators and creations-- what relationships do we have with the things we make, and what are those creations for? what is it about our existing environment that feeds/informs the narratives we think of when we try to write?
+ viewers and those who are viewed, perspective and those who perceive or are perceived. visibility and identity, trying to ground yourself in "who you are" or who you hope to be for yourself/others
+ the stories we tell ourselves and each other, stories about ourselves and each other, from ourselves and others, to influence/affect/reach ourselves and others. what narratives are we telling and how does this affect the person telling them, or the people listening? what kind of implications does a given narrative have for a given collection of viewers/people within or across cultures/subcultures?
+ does the way you type affect the person you are? does it influence the relationships you have with others? who are you most likely to reach or connect with as a result of what/how you type or communicate? language and dialect and rhetoric, the ways those mediums can reflect personality and background contexts like where you're from or who you might be likely to affiliate with
+ the internet... where did you start, and what websites/media did you gravitate to? which kinds of people did you first meet online, and how did that influence where you went over the course of your life? did you become acquainted with identifiably distinct communities of any kind? who/what do you associate with and take interest in now, and how have you changed since then?
+ isolation and duality, alienation from yourself and a duality in who you've been or who you are, whether across time/circumstance or within the very same moment. fragmentation of memory and personhood/selfhood, experimenting with a sense of identity you barely understand, if at all
