"World Maker'' By Shonen Jump "Create Manga without having to draw".
I don't know if it's just me but am sure most of us who watch anime have tried to draw our favorite characters, and sometimes it may come out right, sometimes you just hate your creation so much that you want to cut off your hand or is it just me?.
Many Manga and Anime lovers often have amazing ideas for their own story or Manga, Sometimes you have a cool story in your mind, you have made the plot, you have written it down, and gotten good reviews from friends and readers, But there is a problem, when it comes to holding your pencil and making your characters you can't just do it, no matter how hard you try or how many "How to draw" videos you watch, you never get it right. (Comment if you ever felt like this before, it can't be me alone).
Well, Worry not friends, because Shonen jump will be launching a new app called (Drum Roll)"World maker".This app gives you the power to make your ideas/stories real without having to draw.
The app is still in the beta stage and only accessible to a few people through lottery systems but below are some features you may see in the app.
(Note: Images may be in Japanese):
IS IT GOOD?
I haven't tried the app yet because I am not on the beta platform, But I know for sure that ''World Maker'' will provide you with the tools necessary to become a Mangaka.
In the first step, you will write your script (dialogues, lines, sentences) of your manga. The app automatically divides your script into frames (Manga panels). Then you would be able to place character images from the "World Maker" app library. Also, there will be an option to add your image to your manga as well.
Currently, the app has more than 600,000 images of backgrounds, effects, and characters you can choose from to express yourself in the manga.
What Kind of Manga can I Make?
Hmmm good question, here are some images of a manga made using "World Maker", A manga about a hero who has been reincarnated to another world. (Seriously, all I see are Isekai mangas now). These are just the beta designs, in future updates, I am sure there would be improvements in the art.
When Would "World Maker'' be released Officially?
The app is to be released in two stages, The Close Beta Stage and Open Beta Stage.
In the Close Beta Stage, Users are limited and are selected via a lottery system where they are allowed to experience the services.
But don't worry, The Open beta stage would be released on September 22nd with everyone having full access to the app.
For the Closed beta stages, developers are looking for 500 participants but unfortunately, many users won’t be able to join because the application is already closed.
Here is a link to a short video explaining how this app will work: ( Note: Video is in Japanese. )
The chance to publish your manga in Shonen Jump is now!!!
There will be a competition between beta version users and 2 winners will get their one-shot manga drawn by Shiro Usazaki (Act-Age) and Koji Oishi (Tomatoypoo no Lycopene) on Shonen Jump+ ( Goodluck to anyone that wishes to participate).
