In the past, no canonical logic has been established concerning manga, as with film or music theories. Manga is a medium which incorporates both images and text, and it has many unique rules that differ from those for film or literary arts. This course may be the first in the world to introduce the unique dramatic theories of manga by category. What kind of structure makes an interesting manga interesting to its readers? By applying this, anyone will be able to build an appealing plot that will draw readers in.
