1. 0:00How to write the first page of your
2. 0:02manga? Let's look at tips from
3. 0:04professionals in the field. So, folks,
4. 0:06this might be the most important page
5. 0:08of your manga, because it needs to grab
6. 0:11the reader's attention and make them
7. 0:13want to read the rest, turn the pages,
8. 0:16and there are some ways to increase
9. 0:18your chances. Let's see here. Hiro
10. 0:21Rikarak, author of JoJo's Bizarre
11. 0:23Adventure, already gave the tip to
12. 0:24visually make the situation happening
13. 0:26at the moment clear. In particular, he
14. 0:30suggests using the 5W1H method, which
15. 0:33consists of five questions starting
16. 0:35with W and one starting with H. This is
17. 0:38a tactic widely used in journalism,
18. 0:41which consists of asking questions
19. 0:43whose answers give you a very complete
20. 0:46overview of what's happening in the
21. 0:48scene. After all, with the answers to
22. 0:52these questions, we find out who is
23. 0:55involved in the situation, when it's
24. 0:57happening, where it's happening, what's
25. 0:59happening, why, and how. Here we have
26. 1:03two examples, one from Dragon Ball and
27. 1:05one from Fullmetal Alchemist. You might
28. 1:08not understand 100%of what's happening,
29. 1:10but you know who it's happening to,
30. 1:12what kind of place it's in, and a
31. 1:14little bit about what the character is
32. 1:16going through. You can create suspense,
33. 1:18yes. But if you show very few elements
34. 1:21for too long, you risk losing the
35. 1:23reader's interest in your manga. That's
36. 1:26why another important thing is to give
37. 1:28a glimpse of the atmosphere or style of
38. 1:30your manga. Here in Green Blood, for
39. 1:32example, on this first page, we already
40. 1:35understand that it must be a dense and
41. 1:37dark work, in addition to having a
42. 1:38Western feel. Another important thing
43. 1:41is for the page to be visually inviting
44. 1:43. Manga editors have suggested that
45. 1:46chapters begin with pages with larger
46. 1:48panels and low density of information,
47. 1:51both visual and written. Here we have
48. 1:54examples of first pages from Bleach and
49. 1:56Angel Heart. In Criatoriama's book on
50. 1:59how to make manga, he analyzes first
51. 2:01pages from fans and praises those who
52. 2:03manage to make him want to turn the
53. 2:05page immediately to find out how it
54. 2:07continues. Here we have an example from
55. 2:11Undad and Unck, where it begins with
56. 2:13the character flipping through a manga
57. 2:15and when she finishes, she says that
58. 2:17now it's time to finish with herself.
59. 2:20And in the last panel, we are presented
60. 2:22with the overall scene, where she is on
61. 2:24a bridge about to jump onto the train
62. 2:26tracks. The fact that it's a shocking
63. 2:28scene and we don't have all the
64. 2:30information makes us want to turn the
65. 2:32page and understand what's happening.
66. 2:35But hold on, even with all these tips,
67. 2:37it's recommended that you analyze the
68. 2:39first pages of various manga to see the
69. 2:41different ways professionals have
70. 2:42approached it. Hiro Rikara claims that
71. 2:46he himself did this kind of exercise.
72. 2:48The possibilities are vast. We have the
73. 2:52example of One Piece, which begins in a
74. 2:54very calm way with a lot of narration,
75. 2:56while Doredouro relies on the impact of
76. 2:58the initial scene. And finally, in the
77. 3:03Shonen Jump book on how to make manga,
78. 3:05it is said that Rico Torishima, the
79. 3:07legendary Jump editor, considered the
80. 3:10first chapters of Rokutonoken and
81. 3:12Slandunk perfect, masterpieces. And
82. 3:16here are the first pages of these two
83. 3:19great manga. M.
