amazing!

The Shonen Jump Guide to Making Manga is really good, because its primary emphasis is on doing the work rather than a quick and easy shortcut or telling you step by step how to do this or that. It's meant to help you get into a healthy mindset of what it takes to get good.There's a ton of top mangaka and editors in it giving opinions and stuff. It's a bit like a Shonen Jump Masterclass without all the fat of having to make fluff material for that Masterclass check. I've found some extremely valuable advice in this book so far.Both as an artist and a writer, I think this book is really great. But again, the emphasis is on doing the work and being healthy about it. You can't go into the book expecting it to make you good at anything! It's like a mangaka philosophy book almost.There is a balance between the extremes of "grind yourself to death" and "fear of tackling your artistic weaknesses head on". I think reading this entire book can help one know what it takes to progress as an artist and writer, the healthy and progress-oriented mindset it takes.
