Hey everyone, Konnichiwa,
So during one of the writers workshops last year, I worked on a story called underworlders. I had already had an idea for the story before the workshop, however I wanted it to be a Manga. I ended up backing out of the workshop because 1000 words a day was really hard to do on top of work. So now that I'm a little less obligated due to a job change, and I'm not bound by 1000 words a day, I'd like to turn Underworlders into a Manga.
Here are some details of the story.
The story surrounds a high school boy in Japan who's doing excellent in school. He's a Grade A student and puts school before fun. A perfect example of what every parent wants their kid to be (especially in japan). However one night, after a bit of studying, he falls asleep and in his dreams, he is faced with a nightmare. He goes through a bit of a dream sequence, authough a bit horrifying, when a man dressed as a professor pulls him out into a new world called the dreamworld. In this dream world, or the underworld, your mind rests and collects energy. Another monstor, called underworlders, feasts off these dreams, causing nightmares. Some of these monsters are a lot stronger than a mind can handle, which is where the man who pulled the kid out comes in. He helps fight off these monsters. In most cases, there isn't an issue after, but in some, the victim dies which is what the real cause is of death during sleep.Later on in the manga, I plan on adding a bigger underworlder who was never seen before who the character will have to face off.
If we plan on pushing this out and money is at all made from this, I will be ok with 50 50 split! But that's if we go that route."
My friend has also agreed to help me translate this to Japanese so we can access that audience as well.
Please let me know if you want to help out. The story can be found in our forums
