One of the reasons behind the popularity of manga as source materials for films and dramas lies in the novel and appealing settings, worldviews, and characters. In this course, we will focus on the "logline" which Kyoto Seika University has studied for years as part of what makes a manga appealing, and explain techniques to come up with and construct the sort of settings, worldviews, and characters that will make readers pick up and read the manga. The student will also be introduced to basic training that will help them acquire the skills to plan out appealing manga settings using these techniques
