■ Comic REBEL and Koipare Editorial Department Present a Brand New Manga Award: 'Isekai Manga Artist Audition'
The 'Isekai Manga Artist Audition' is a new style of manga award that seeks manga artists to collaboratively create 'isekai manga' with the shonen/isekai label "Comic REBEL" and the women's label "Koipare Editorial Department."
No submitted work is required. Instead of judging only "works" as in traditional manga awards, this manga award evaluates the "manga artist" themselves.
It aims to discover new talent, and anyone, professional or amateur, is welcome to apply.
We particularly welcome applications from those who:
* Wish to start serialization immediately
* Want to challenge themselves in creating isekai manga, even in an unfamiliar genre
* Want to draw isekai manga, either as a comic adaptation or an original work
* Aim for a commercial debut
■ Three Features Provided by the 'Isekai Manga Artist Audition'
To provide an environment where all manga artists can easily take on the challenge of creating isekai manga, this audition has three unique features not found in traditional manga awards.
1. Guaranteed serialization and a signing bonus provide an environment to concentrate on creation.
Winners will be granted 'guaranteed serialization' and a 'signing bonus (serialization preparation fee) of 300,000 yen.'
With serialization guaranteed, artists can focus on creation with future serialization in mind, and also work on their creations with peace of mind during the preparation period.
2. No submitted work required, a selection method that evaluates the "manga artist" themselves.
In this audition, the "manga artist" themselves is judged, not their "work."
