Morning International Comic Competition M.I.C.C. - 2 views

  •  
    Interesting: changing the name from "manga" to "comics" to reflect the desired scope of submissions. "While this is the fourth time that this competition has been held, it is the first since its name was changed from the Morning International Manga Competition (M.I.M.C.) to the Morning International Comic Competition (M.I.C.C.). Throughout the previous three competitions, we found ourselves keenly noticing something. While in Japan the word "manga" (マンガ) encompasses many broad genres and is still home to innovation and freshness, the term "manga" abroad refers to works of fantasy that are drawn in a specific style, and further confined to a small genre. This time, we saw an immediate change resulting from the contest's revised name, as we received many submissions that could be classified as "seinen manga," the genre that our magazine Morning primarily publishes. Not only that, we also received many highly exciting works with stories and visual designs that we could not imagine ever seeing from creators within the Japanese industry. We value this quality, as seen by the prize-winning works."

MegaTokyo - relax, we understand j00 - 0 views

    From Lori Lynn Taniguchi: Out of the all american webcomics which are modeled directly off of the Japanese manga influence, Megatokyo has got to be the most famous. Fred Gallegher has accomplished what many of us in our mary-jane ways have always wanted: to accummulate an adoring audience to our art and story which places us and our friends in the world we love so much, we want to be seen INHABITING it. His art was not very good to start, but with persistence, and some kind of viral popularity, his skills have substantially improved, and his patently shoujo-manga storylines became a trademark. I think the main character is probably very sympathetic to many men who feel bewildered and fascinated and ultimately manipulated by women. Add in a little gamer culture and technology, and you're appealing to pretty distinct kind of guy. Personally, I think the storyline's a little harem-style to be really original. But the fact remains that I believe it to really be the culmination of a lot of desires in webcomics at the time.
