1. Analysing other manga
The first manga I’m going to analyse is attack on titan; this is one of the
most popular manga’s to date and is still on going. This isa traditional
style mangasetin blackand white andisreadfrom back to front. Each style
of mangahas itsown art style althoughsome are copied;thisone in

Another manga that is popular is death note; this manga is f a
different genre to attack on titan but tailors to the same
audience. Although it’s also known as a gate way manga which
means people who have never read one before will read this
because of its popularity and then read others.
The same can be said for attack on titan. Both manga’s are
pretty dark which is consistent with most but there plot is what
makes them stand out above the rest. Death note is one of the
reasons I chose to make my final project as a short manga.
A brief synopsis of their stories will show you have differently
they start of but in the end have very similar outcomes, usually death. Although this is
common, so when designing my manga I would probably stay down the same track but with
less gore. Also in these manga’s there is a lot of dialogue between pages, I will most likely
have the bare minimum as it will take a lot of time to draw the images, so unlike these
manga’s my art will come first instead of the plot.

2. Unlike the other two dragon ball z is bet less dark but in a way also
more violent, which like I stated before seems to be a common
theme among manga’s. Although this was the original manga that
helped bring anime over to the UK, as there wasn’t many on TV but
when this became so popular in japan it was realised in the UK on
television and instantly became as popular, especially during the
90’s, that’s why it’s considered to be the inspiration a lot of the
other manga’s today.
Some of its strong points, par the story line as I won’t be focusing on
that too much, is its art and style. This manga is traditional black
and white and back to front but some of the newest versions that are in the UK have
coloured pages and some even read from front to back. Even though this is one of my
favourite manga’s I probably will reframe from using and of its styles or use of text because
it would take to make time for me to do.
