Alright, here's the thing dude. Your premise is really fucking bad. To be genuine, and give you some form of actual feedback rather than just shitting on you because it's funny - The concept of "zombie apocalypse, but high schoolers" is overdone in pretty much every form of media. Not that an overdone idea can't still be done or done well, it's just a very boring and dead premise that plenty of manga and anime have already done.
You're trying to advertise this as a manga, which it is not. You will not be a mangaka, because you are a Westerner. Trying to publish this through something like Shonen Jump is nigh impossible, again because you're not Japan-based and the fact that frankly, what you have provided is basically shoving squares into circle holes. You have no idea how a manga is made, formulated or drawn. You're trying to force a title or genre upon your work that simply it doesn't fit into.
There's also the setting itself which is most likely not going to be popular either. You're definitely taking inspiration from something such as Solo Levelling or other Manhwa's / webtoons of the sort - which in of itself is not a bad thing, Korea is not a bad setting and in fact could offer something genuinely interesting, but then you're mixing in faggy shit and a nigger. This is not something that'd sell to the Japanese market plain and simple.
You really need to take a step back, storyboard, and make a cohesive and sensible setting, group of characters, and some form of rough draft if anything.
If you actually take the time to learn art, and keep making even shit comics and build up until you can write and draw cohesively, I have no doubt you could actually make it in some way as some webtoon or comic creator if you really put work into it. But you gotta have some self awareness bro.
One asshole, just because I’m black doesn’t mean I’m not Japanese as I’m biracial and manga isn’t about people’s backgrounds it’s about their ideas and creativity. I’ve spent years working on Red Mist and I am self aware and the ones who need self awareness are you guys because you’re only playing directly into my hands.

He seemingly also got into some faggy discord e-drama, which resulted in him making a shitty callout post.

Man y’all really that obsessed with me?
That checks out with the Facebook account I found earlier.
I told the trolls thats my location if they ever wanted to mail me something.
I hate to be mean but this smells like an untalented weeb that wants to be "the idea man" and manage actual talent. There are no solely idea men, just talented workers that also come up with ideas. Produce something, then grift. Strangely, people have been very nice so far and have given you solid advice.
I’m not just an “idea man” I’m a person who came up with the idea and who writes the stories for each volume. I ask of constructive criticism not to be doxxed.
Referencing the fact that this site was based on documenting the guy, thanks for ruining the joke.

Also should I be alarmed that you’re trying to find my exact location or terrified? Or both?
Nobody is saying you have to tell the entire story, but you have barely given us anything to work with. All we have is a very vague premise and description of themes, plus some very unconnected skethes and pages that don't tell us more. Who are the big characters? What are their main traits and goals? Your strategy to keep shit a secret so we support you out of interest doesn't work if there's nothing to hook us in.
i’ll only tell you over my discord.
Then ask me over discord not on here. My discord is: monostar_leatherknuckles
Think this way
@Monostar Leatherknuckles.
Every mangaka has written an one-shot or an prototype chapter.
Will it be Naruto, Fullmetal Alchemist, One Piece, or even Magic Kaito.
I have a dozen one shots ready but I’m still preparing for the next phase, getting to Japan to make it happen. Then I’ll submit them (hope that it’s enough and if not I’ll keep writing more one shots until I see success and attention and then submit Red Mist as my main major project.
Edit: Also you only get editors and teams when you start your career as a mangaka not prepare for i.
Tell me about it, how a simple thread about a manga lead everyone to madness.
I will say I don’t think this series could be sold well as an manga nor manhwa series. I do believe you still need a proper written script or even a prototype/one shot chapter.
Keep working and refining your ideas
@Monostar Leatherknuckles
Before you post a proposal, keep writing a prototype script and make that one shot. In my personal opinion the premise is a little thin.
I would recommend watching either the X-Files or Twin Peaks for inspiration. Shoot, even watch Naked Lunch or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
I’d like to speak with you over discord. My user is: monostar_leatherknuckles
dumb, lazy, stinky, weeb obsessed nigger waddles in to pitch some half-baked slip slurp bix nood nigger scribbles without actually reading the whats and wheres he's signing up for. many such cases! sad!
Fuck off furry.
It's funnier than all that. He's on Null's radar so you know our young friend is getting a little noisy. This stretches over a few threads.

Who the hell is he supposed to be?
That’s why to me I find the use of a South Korean setting to be fascinating. I have my gripes with Korea, but I do think learning the nuances of Korean culture and even writing about it could be interesting.
I do believe they need to visit their public library and take a crack at reading literature like Naked Lunch.
It’s also fascinating to me and is which is why I decided to have the story there.
Read Bakuman, the manga about making manga made by the same people who made Death Note. They don't commission random artists on the internet. They do everything themselves, from scripting to storyboarding to illustrating. They make one-shots to determine the popularity of ideas. And they're Japanese, unlike you who will always be a gaijin nigger who will never be accepted anywhere near Jump. If you're afraid of your ideas being stolen it's clear your execution is too weak to stand for itself.
Also I want to ask what research you've done on Korea? Why is it Korea besides you liking Train to Busan? That movie takes place in Korea as critique of Korea's society and its ills. If most of the characters are Americans who are gay or black then there's no point in having it be in Korea.
Most of the characters are actually Korean and bakuman is still a show do not apply it to me.
This is very true for a lot of people such as Rei Hiroe, mangaka of Black Lagoon. The character Le Majeur's design is basically 1:1 of a character from an old doujinshi he did.
Tatsuki Fujimoto, the mangaka behind Chainsaw Man has done plenty of one-shots, with a lot of the designs or character concepts seemingly ending up as Chainsaw Man characters - for example his one shot "Sasaki Has Stopped the Bullet" has a female character, Kawaguchi whose design was seemingly tweaked and mixed with the personality of the character Toshihide from "When I woke up, I had become a girl disease" into being Kobeni from CSM. Nayuta is also another example but she is literally the same character from "Nayuta of Prophecy"
It's not a bad idea to make prototypes or small stories, tweaking your character ideas and seeing what does and doesn't work and maybe combining some of those aspects to make a more likeable and thought out character.
I have but they’re hidden until seen by Shueisha. I have read and watched black lagoon and Tatsuki Fujimoto is my god so yes I believe I’m doing my best professionall.
Congratulations, you’re retarded.
Ypu may now fuck yourself
I’m going to be honest, this thread has been relatively enjoyable. I do like talking about creative subjects like this.
At least we have something positive
It's a shame he isn't really answering our questions or addressing our points, but that might be because of the Fresh Meat message approval time. Talking about creative stuff is fun though.
I apologize but my comments are still awaiting approval
Still not trans.
The experiment is working. Than you all for your support.
You leaked my locale, just don‘t touch me I’m sterile.
Bruh you can't possibly forget about like 4 social media profiles, some of which were still used within the year, and several fundraisers with your actual name and address on them. Unless you have Alzheimer's, that's borderline impossible.
I’m a forgetful man.
Could've just started a webcomic first, went for promotion to Kiwifarms instead.
Genius move.
Thank you.
@Monostar Leatherknuckles just wanna let you know people aren't actually making fun of your manga project itself or whatever, they're making fun of the fact that you came here with a proposal, because Kiwi Farms is a site for discussing retards on the internet. You came here acting retarded.
Just peruse some of the subforums like
the main Lolcow one and you can see. You are basically speedrunning yourself into being a lolcow.

You should heed the warning before you get a thread of your own.
I heard it was a popular subject then why have a art & literature category in here?
I have an idea for a manga! It's about this guy who is allergic to floors!
What?
Aw man, he's arrogant and retarded.
