A story of a young man who accepts his cultures

What comes to mind when you see Japanese manga? What do you think of when you see me?

All manga are seen in the exact same way. All manga are made by Japanese people. You cannot call something a manga if it was not made by a Japanese person.

But what happens when a person that is not Japanese draws a manga? What happens when a Japanese person draws something that is not a manga?

All manga characters have the same face. The only difference between them is their hair.

Japanese people use manga to become sexually aroused. A naked woman in a manga is acceptable, even if it is only a manga. In fact, a naked woman in a manga may be better than a real one.

Japanese people are perverts.

Manga is not art.

Manga will never be recognized as art. It will never be recognized as anything other than manga.

Manga should not be seen outside of Japan. If more are read in America, it will only produce negative effects.

Manga is generic and completely unoriginal.

If you want to be taken seriously the only possible option is to stop drawing manga.

It is impossible to be recognized as an aritst if you draw manga.

There is a need to hide your identity if it is not an acceptable one.

Even if it means to forget about your past indefinitely.

It is more important for you to fit into your surroundings than it is for you to be yourself.

If you reveal your past life, people will think you are weird.

People will think you are a pervert.

Are you willing to forget your past?

What you will do and what you want to do is completely dependent on you.

What will you draw to change the world?
