Starting a manga??

Question

me and my friends r making a manga 4 fun ^-^

but we don't know how to start it...like the first few pannels...

the plot:

there are 5 girls (high school) and they're best friends

they live together because their parents abandoned them/ or they ran away...etc +other reasons

so they have to steal stuff from museums and banks etc... to pay their school tuition and home insurance... etc...

does it sound interesting...maybe??

do you have more ideas or details?

how should i start this manga? (first few drawings/pannels)

Answer 1

You might find the link below to be interesting...

The company offers a product that helps create Manga style comics plus the page has links to Manga galleries and customer stories...

Might be a place to help you refine your ideas.

-- I'm not so sure I like the idea of stealing from banks and museums...

-- What if they secretly lived in the mall or a museum?

Answer 2

Start with a long range shot of the place where they live. In this frame, include information about the city, time period, etc. Then have a shot of the outside of the home, perhaps with speech bubbles of things the girls are saying (but don't show the girls yet). Show girls in the next frame.

Answer 3

No offense, but writing is not as easy as you might think.  On the other hand, why not give it a try!
