Kadokawa has launched a program to support overseas manga creators.

Are we about to get flooded with American manga?
>>
>>287812412
kadokawa will pick the best, most naive gaijin to milk for all they are worth
>>
>Kadokawa pushing Americans into creating manga
>JNC pushing Americans into creating light novels

Holy fuck we are truly in the worst timeline
>>
Publishers have been trying to make Original English Language "manga" a thing for years
Nothing has or will ever come of it because no one anywhere wants it
This is and will always be a nothingburger
>>
>>287812701
It'll be like the Korean/Chinese infestation but a bit more gay.
>>
>>287812701
They know manga"l sells well in the US and they know translations cost money so they hope they can fool retards into buying these "manga" and skip the need to translate the real stuff
>>
>>287812412
Where else have I heard kadokawa in bad news headlines lately
This is who was pushing witch hat atelier or something? Maybe not but I swear Kadokawa was doing some globalizing shit
>>
>>287812412
>dude this always happen just ignore it
I can't wait to get to the "ok sure, is happening but is not that bad" part.
>>
>>287812412
So when are we going to hear the first international "mangaka" that kills himself due to the pressures of creating one? Thus sparking another culture war """debate"""" where nips argue that this is very normal.
>>
If you're not japanese, didn't grow up and live in japan most of your life, you cannot make Manga.
Your comic book is an inferior counterfeit
>>
>>287813181
They recently announced a line of Webtoons and vertical comics for some older properties including Lodoss War, Slayers and ZnT with the intention of reintroducing them to the new generation. The casuals are gonna discover them and ruin them.
>>
Kadokawa is literally becoming the worst thing that could've happened to the industry.

>Flooding the market with isekai slop
>Ruined JNC
>Forcing studios to only work on isekai slop
>Trying to push western manga/LNs
>>
>>287812412
Woke hat Atelier
>>
>>287812412
>No more pedo diddy incest ahh shit
Manga is saved!
>>
>>287814297
Instead you will be getting lgbt shit
>>
>>287814361
>I Got Reincarnated as a Diversity Consultant in Another World and Now Even the Demon Lord Has Pronouns?!

>The Villainess Cancelled Me, But I Rebranded With Inclusive Messaging and Became Overpowered

>The Hero’s Journey Was Too Toxic, So I Unionised the Party and Now We Have Dental and Boundaries
>>
>>287813181
>>287814110
>Witch Hat Atelier bad because... because the manga has brown people
This is your brain on /pol/
>>
>>287812412
This is similar to Mangaplus Creators, right?
Their number one thing has to be filtering out spam from AI loving retards who will make the service basically useless with the glut of junk they'll try and upload.
>>
>>287813181
Witch Hat Atelier is a Kodansha property.
The term 'atelier' is just a popular one in Japan as a fancy way of saying workshop.
>>
This is 100% gonna be used to produce AI slop manga. The US doesn’t have the talent for something like this.
>>
>>287813181
>>287814110
Just because it has Atelier in the title it doesn't mean is related in any way, are you dumb?
>>
>>287814769
Oh yeah it was Kodansha doing some globalization thing. they also aee pushing global creators etc
>>
>>287814863
Yes, they are obviously retarded.
>>
>>287812799
All it will take is one internet personality making a manga that's successful due to the name attached. Then the floodgates will open.
>>
>>287816319
Learn to sage, retard
>>
>>287812412
Even if I had the skills to create art, I wouldn't want to create manga. It would inherently be a weird pastiche.
>>
>>287812799
To be fair, this seems to be more about giving these people access to proper editor feedback, and Japanese editors aren't going to be interested in the kind of hyper stereotypical knockoff shit that plagues "OEL manga".
>>
>>287817594
Learn to fucking sage, you fucking retard
>>
>>287814110
truth nuke right there buddy.
>>
>>287812412
Yes Anon, we will get flooded with nothing but American manga from this point on and nothing else.
They will kick out all their national manga authors and only employ American manga creators with a special emphasis on creating manga for modern audiences.
This is the end of manga as we know it.

You're a retard.
>>
>>287817594
>kind of hyper stereotypical knockoff shit that plagues "OEL manga".
Example please?
>>
>>287816319
We've had open floodgates since isekai slop exploded, and before that there was the yaoi explosion.

Kadokawa already published a translated webcomic in Aokishi.
