Hi, I'm Apelé (weird name), I'm 14 years old and I've been a fan of mangas for a long time. I'm pretty good at drawing and I've already created several shonen action mangas, my favorite being Battle Road...
Anyway, it's not that fun to make a manga alone, especially since I'm out of ideas. That's also why I want to collaborate with other people on a manga (even if we're in the middle of school).
I'm looking forward to responses, please.
Thanks in advance!!!!!

As a big fan of manga myself (I'll just say that I've watched Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya which are quite well-known, but also those that "you can't find around here" with a somewhat repetitive storyline...
Anyway, those I've watched: "To aru kagaku no Railgun" and "Majutsu no Index"; Neon Genesis Evangelion; Strike Witches; Infinite Stratos (<3) Ikkitousen (DD and XX) and Fate/Stay Night.)
Just to say that in these mangas I've noticed a rather repetitive structure regarding the characters:
- The hero (well, you can base it on whatever you want, most of the time, a normal guy or someone with a power that he is the only one to have)
- The hero's girlfriend (the character the hero will fall in love with, after that it's up to you whether the girlfriend will give him the cold shoulder or also fall in love)
- The "Bro4Life" (Basically, brother for life, a childhood friend of the hero that he can always count on)
- The second love interest (The one who WILL love the main character, or want to go much further just for fun, I won't go into details... but he will either be totally stupid and not see anything, for example in Infinite or Railgun; or then give massive cold shoulders to cool him/her down, and here I take Strike Witches or also Railgun as an example)
- The decorative character (The one who is just there to decorate, who plays no role or a very minor one, and again, I refer to Railgun where everyone has powers except for a certain character...)
So there you go, a base for a manga would already be to have ideas for characters.
Everything depends on the time period... Medieval, Contemporary, or Futuristic
Then the STYLE: Romance, Combat, Drama...
The type of people you want to target (Shonen, Shojo, Seinen)
The *AHEM* style of the manga (Basically, "Normal", Ecchi or... you see)
Thinking about this could already give you an idea.
