/a/ talks a big game when criticizing current battle shonens, but lets see you write a better one yourself. What is your series' hook, power system, stakes and what makes it original?
>>282617952Been writing a story on and off for the past 10 years but I haven't gotten halfway done.I was inspired by: Harry Potter, AtlA, Naruto, Sky High, and typical Japanese school tropesHook: 4 students with abnormally low proficiency in their powers of air, water, earth, fire attend a school that prides itself in unifying the different attributes into one region.Power system is basically the AtlA premice but everyone has an ability with varying degrees of skill/power. The main four characters have their own special power that they have to learn to understand over the course of the storyStakes: low to medium stakes. Low because its a school setting so most of the conflict is teenage related. Medium because the hidden abilities the 4 students have are rare as well as deadly for a reason.The only thing I can say that makes it "original" is the fact that, despite it following a "main character," the four students are the central point of the story. Also, there is no big bad as he died before the story started.
Fartial arts shonen battle series with a fart based power systemfart blasts, compressed fart cuts, fart propulsion speed, fart flash step, fart flying, acidic corrosive farts, smokescreen farts, stinky farts, high-decibel loud farts, pheromone filled fart mind-control, silent invisible stealth farts, paralyzing farts, fart thunder strike, fart tornado, defensive fartfield, set fart on fire flaming farts, brown note farts, stored up ultimate nuclear fart blast, fart pulse radar, fart mimicry, etc

>>282617952Twin Peaks meets 20th century boy (the good half) inspired mystery series about a detective being stuck in a time loop caused by the deuteragonist in prevention for the coming end of the world. Power system is inspired by JoJo's stands. The protagonist has the ability to summon and turn anything into a gun. Deuteragonist has a semi significant romance subplot with another character. I don't watch or read much Shonen so i don't know what else to add

Alternative history, the natives all across the Americas were able to fend off the europeans by working together, now they have to be forcedly united for their own sake despite being enemies beforehand.Battle system is based on indigenous magic.
>>282617952Um, let's see, there's a school, and people have powers, and there's not really a plot, or well executed character arcs, just random things happening randomly and waifus. There, that is guaranteed to sell to normalfags and make a profit.
>>282617952>Year 21XX>At the turn of the century humanity was in dire straits>Plummeting birthrates from successive wars, contagions, and societal views humanity was on the brink of extinction>Enter King Fakku, the first Fuckmaster, who on his battle to thd top impregnated countless women such that 33% of the population are his offspring>His moral philosophy of women as a luxury good belonging only to the strongest was adopted by the world as the Fuckmaster System ensuring only truly superior males pass their genes>Tubbyama Tarou is just a high school otaku in love with his childhood friend Bimbomi>He plans to confess to her after their Fuckmaster assessment, even though romantic love is now forbidden and reviled>At the assessment, Bimbomi registers as a record breaking level 9000 Bitchmaster, a prime evolved female able to generate upwards of a million offspring in her lifetime>Meanwhile Tubbyama sets his own record, the first male in history to have a Fuckmaster score of Zero, a genetic dead end that can only produce weak and defective offspring, if any at all>Enter ikemen Ejimaru Jones, American, Fuckmaster score 7021, who seeks to destroy the Fuckmaster system that destroyed his family>Ejimaru and Tubbyama fight for love against a world that only wants to fuck in>Fuckmaster Zero

>>282617952Okay so get this. Japanese high school where due to a government mandate, every student has to belong to a club. The schools then have a tournament where their clubs fight each other - the soccer team fights the other soccer teams, the anime club fights the other anime clubs. Scoring is structured based on how many clubs win, and each student can only belong to one club.What this means is that even if one school's delinquents are stronger, if their otaku and cheerleaders don't win, the school loses. Eventually it gets down to shit like the AV nerds and LGBT Alliance beating on each other while the entire school cheers like in Otokojuku for what would otherwise be one of the least interesting fights on record.Also, one of the schools is located inside Mt. Fuji for some reason.
People summon stands but the stands are rapey fat ugly bastards who molest their opponents' girlfriends and female family members. Our MC is an only child to a single dad, he can summon the ugly bitch Neto Ara, daughter of the greatest ugly bastard ever. She is able to molest MC's opponents directly, which gives MC a huge advantage in the Molestation War.
>>282617952Fantasy Adventure Anime>Cour 1&2A young boy sets out on a revenge journey to defeat the Demon Lord (name pending). He recruits to his side>An animal charmer that's the same age as him from a circus>Twin girls with inverse affinities for magic, who he finds in a later town>A slightly older boy who specializes in archery>A slightly younger boy who specializes in potions and alchemy, having been kidnapped by the group from a school>A princess who never actually joins the party, but the Archery Boy is revealed to be her brotherThe first cour will be episodic adventures until the story eventually streamlines into a full battle anime.>Cour 3The princess was kidnapped during their journey and the group sets out to rescue her, splitting up. This is where the Archery Boy's relation is revealed, and at the end, the Alchemy Boy abandons the party because he fell in love with her.>Cour 4&5Animal Charmer had recruited a basilisk in prior seasons, but in actuality, the basilisk had been hypnotizing him in order to gather, for itself, a large meal. This story arc will be the effective 'End of Part 1' so later people can say it got worse after this season and allow the narrative to linger in the minds of watchers rent free.>Cour 5&6The party is now just the main character and the twin mages, Animal Charmer having returned to his hometown after last season, and Archery Boy having decided to care for his sister after everything seemed to cool down.This story is about a new character who reflects the MC- a white haired swordsman the same age as him, who joins the party. A new demon lord arises, who is revealed to be that white haired boy but from the future, have time traveled for ambiguous reasons I haven't made up yet, and he invokes dimensional warping powers that lead to the climactic episodes being set in modern day Japan (for fun). The story ends with the main character and his love interest (Light Magic Twin) being stuck in Japan, sequel never.
>>282617952A town in Japan that is overrun by yakuza. The police don't dare to even try arresting anyone with the demon tattoo's the gang wears.In a school the most popular boy in class announces that he has found a way to go against the Yakuza. He's found an old ninja master and is being trained by him. Now he wants everyone to train so they can all become noble ninja and destroy the yakuza.Most don't really believe him but come along anyways only to find out it's true. Everyone starts training ninja arts in secret.The kicker that keeps this manga from being axed before chapter ten:The MC is the son of the Yakuzas leader. He is completely dogshit at shinobi stuff (cant walk silently, do flips, bad aim with thrown tools and all that). When he gets frustrated at his lack of progress he runs off in the mountains they train in and finds an old shrine where on a pedistal sits a fox mask. He puts it on and then finds its magical and he cant take it off. The old ninja master tells him that the mask holds a sealed fox god and that by pulling it over his head completely he will assume the foxes form and gain its powers temporarily at the cost of a years worth of his lifespan.A shadow war against the Yakuza starts and MC has to always do his best to get better at his skills so he won't have to sacrifice his life.The Yakuza have a member who holds a demon mask, just like the MC's fox mask.

>>282617952A world where magic exists, but pretty much nobody knows how to harness its power beyond simple tricks and gags.In comes Anon, the MC. He realizes the truth: The only way to deepen your power and become real wizard is by farming (You)s on /a/.He creates several bait threads, and in no time he becomes the most powerful magician living in his region. But he's not the only one who found out about the truth.He has to compete with several yuribaiters, pancensorship schizos, lolicons and NTRfags from all over the country. Whoever gathers most (You)s will become the supreme warlock king.But there is another secret rule, one which Anon will soon realize. Getting banned vastly decreases your magical power, with an IP ban resulting in complete severance from it. Will he find a new, peaceful way to farm (You)s, or keep on his path of ragebaits, risking flying too close to Sun and losing it all?
An aspirant blacksmith travels the world fighting monsters and rivals with mechanical weapons he built himself, on a quest to assemble the materials and techniques required to forge a mythical weapon.This "mcguffin quest" is accompained by a metaphorical growth where the MC learns to open himself more to the supporting cast and have more trust on friends with different skillsetsFights would involve less of a brute force approach where fights are a measure of someone's willpower through physical strength and more of a Jojo style battle of wits where trickery and dirty fighting are encouragedPerhaps there could be a magician gimmick where the MC has to constantly use trickery to appear to others as much stronger than he is while overcoming his own insecurity and cowardicebasically what if Usopp from OP got his own story
Magic system involves using emotion to summon magic resulting in magic being this kind of method acting where the more negative emotion you can bring forth and control the more powerful you are This results in the two most traumatized fucked up broken and mentally scarred men on the planet becoming the most powerful and the fate of the world is determined by their relentless ambition of killing each other
>>282621001If the other boards get their own champions and they all fight to determine who will be the true King of 4chan, I'll read this.
>>282618353Tournament arcs.
I'm writing a series no one has ever thought of before.The premise is that in this world, OP isn't a faggot.
>>282618150As title I propose Fart Force
MC is stupid and unremarkable until hot bitches at school start falling for him inexplicably, yet he's wishy-washy and won't choose, so they get fed up and move on, while he jerks off like a loser in his dark room to the memory But then a gay classmate helps him recover his confidence, and the bitches come crawling back, but he rejects them, because he fell in love with the gay classmate, but then he walks in on him being gangbanged, so he runs home with tears in his eyes to jerk off again like a cuck
Anime about an adventuring group, except theres only one actual combatant, a spellblade and the rest are supporters. SoL / kind of educational on all the little things that are needed to make and maintain armor, weapons, enchantments and making food on the road and stuff.
>>282623353Please masturbate before writing your posts Anon.
>>282623109i was thinking Flatulence King
>>282623353Very cool LGBT friendly plot, but what's the power system in this story?
>>282617952Kengan Asura, but in space with different alien species fighting in a tournament.
>>282617952 Hikaru no go but with piano players. Poor middle school kid touches an old clavecin at his school and gets haunted by an extremely beautiful gender ambiguous piano genius. They push the kid to learn piano and write music, and participate in piano competitions. That's when I introduce all the rich high class rivals who look down on his ass, except for one, who's attracted by his genius tier impro and interpretation of some pieces influenced by the ghost. At some point the ghost fulfills his one regret/wish and disappears, leaving the MC alone. I'd basically just recycle every major beat from HnG and find a better place to end it.

>>282617952Futuristic setting, but dystopian y2k aesthetic, like the whole world is the village of rain from naruto. Power system is based on tattoos, the shape, ink used, color, all have an effect on your abilities. Using things like human blood in the ink can lead to some fucked up shit.MC is a street urchin who accidentally finds his way into a fucked up situation where he is forced into fighting in tournaments for prize money as a jobber to make weak tattoo users look good, until the mc cracks the code and decides to design his own tattoo and do it to himself, but because he's no artist it leads to some fucked up results.
>>282617952MC is just an average hero that grunts and screams a lot during fights. This gets tons of south americans and mexicans instantly obsessed with him and he goes there to live like a celebrity.
>>282617952Archer faggotry power system. Weird water heavy futuristic post apo tribal setting where nukes do not exist and instead you just have archipelagos and countries on boats hiring one of the 3 god tier archers in existence to fire magical weapon of destruction elven like bows at their neighbors. Which they do a lot. MC is a survivor of one such nuke that melted their arm clean off. He's looking for material to make an arm when he finds half of a low level elven bow that can't shoot anything, and thinks "why not". It goes to shit from there, now they basically are possessed by a hot elf bent on revenge for the massacre of their people. It's played for laughs at first because all the people they want to kill died long ago, but shit gets serious and relevant later as the mc furthers their own plot and becomes a skilled archer of his militaristic nation thanks to his weird arm and the knowledge of the elf possessing it. The power system is more of the chinese variety in that you have to both improve yourself and get your hands on high level weapons at the same time or you won't get good.Power level of bows is based upon how many not elves were forcibly turned into wood to make it, hence why thet all died out and are just a mystical race now. We don't explain that though.
>>282623492Sounds comfy
>>282617952A story where the protagonist doesn't get stronger and stronger all the fucking time.
Dreams aren't your imagination they are real places that exist in other dimensions With training it is possible to dream in our own dimension.This means you can temporarily enter any place you can imagine to observe or physically interact with the real world from inside the dream Since children have the most vivid dreams they also have the strongest physical connection to the dream world.This is the origin of many ghost stories souls that become trapped between the real world and the world of dreams When he was a young boy mcs older sister experimented with dreams and disappeared now he must enter the sinister world of targeted dreaming to find out where she disappeared to
