sakura18 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 A few weeks ago i had this strange dream that out of nowhere, popped up after my first manga attempt.(which was a failure) After I dreamt this i literally fell on the floor laughing. I'm just wondering, before I laugh at a good oppurtunity, if this is really such a good idea. Don't be too shy to critcise or smash this idea to the ground because remember,.....I did it too. So here it goes.....the manga's title is called "Fighting Fashion" (BTW the name probably came up after I finished watching a fashion show the day before) A wealthy, popular girl named Hitomi Suzuki is the "luckiest" girl in high school. She's got everything. From drooling boys, a purse full of money, good looks, and a career in amateur modeling. The day her "new life" begins is when her best friend, Christina Yuki, signs her up to a contest that states if she wins, she gets to be top model in Japan. But after entering, Hitomi finds out one little catch,.. she has to literally FIGHT her way to the top. The modeling buisness is called "Fighter's Fashion magazine" They just brung up a new contest that really symbolizes the name. Hitomi, as determined as she is, isn't going to back down, so she hires Kyosuke Fujimita, the hottest martial arts trainer in the city, with his skills, he's willing to help Hitomi to win, and also trying to find his true passion in life is. So as Hitomi fights her way to the top....she will meet new friends.....and new enemies......*sighs* -.- so what do you guys think? I think this thing is pretty pathetic. Oh, by the way, this manga will be action/comedy with some romance in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kei Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 [color=darkblue]That...is actually not a bad concept, in my opinion. It's something that's somewhat orginal, and has a lot of potential, especially in the art category. Coming up with different fashions and designs might be a pain, though. I would say that if you could dish out a few good supporting characters and a good backstory for Kyosuke, this could definately turn into something good. One question, though. Would the art follow shonen or shoujo style? It can honestly go either way, but I'm just wondering.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsurigane Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 [SIZE=1][COLOR=RoyalBlue]Thats a great dream you had go on and follow your dream I can't wait until it comes out :D[/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakura18 Posted August 26, 2004 Author Share Posted August 26, 2004 You think so? That's great!!! ^-^ Until I can figure out everything for the characters I'll update you on ideas for the manga later. Oh, by the way, I think i'm gonna go for shoujo, but putting it in shonen would be pretty awesome too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsurigane Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Are you gonna make an Rp too? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakura18 Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 Rp as in a RPG game? If that's what you're talking about, no. I wouldn't know where to start.... -.- If it WERE to be a game, it would probably be a fighting game or soemthing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naota Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I think she means rp as in something you can try to join in at the adventure inn and turn into a story from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Tolerance Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I like it. That would be cool if Hitomi & her martial arts trainer fell in love. Sorry, but I love anime and mangas that have love and romance in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like other hot/romantic people and going on dates, etc., etc.! ^-^ it's going to be a mix of genres like romance/comedy/action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shugo54 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 thats a pretty cool dream ^_^ yea and i think you should put a lot of abstacles in their ways. love isn't something easy. believe me its really hard -_- well i think you would be good at making an RPG that would be so cool ^_^ i would join your RPG.

MaineOtakuNo2 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I have no idea why you would put down (as in insult, sorry I realized my mistake too late) an idea like that. Yet on the basis of art styles why not include both. Why do all mangas have to be one or the other? I know that many artists choose one or the other but why not be original? Anyways it is your choice so I won't input much more besides the love story thing. I think almost all love stories are great and inspiring, just don't make it too corny :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakura18 Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 Hey? Thanks for the encouragement everyone! I really apprieciate it! ^-^ *bows* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineOtakuNo2 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Glad to help an artist out, having no artistic talents of my own. Anyways I still have to express not to make it the typical school, my only concern is stated so Ill be quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiccansamurai Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I like the concept. I just wanna poke at one thing. Almost all the names are Japanese. But then you threw "Christina" in there and that got confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakura18 Posted November 4, 2004 Author Share Posted November 4, 2004 Oh! lol, i didn't wanna surround the atmosphere with everything Japanese. Supposably, my brother suggested that i throw in an exchange student from America. ^-^ Sorry to confuse you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiccansamurai Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Then you probably should give Christina an American last name. Yuki really might throw the readers off. Feel free to disregard my advice, it just confused and I had to sit and wonder possible reasons for her name. Changing her name may help the flow of the story a bit more.

sakura18 Posted November 5, 2004 Author Share Posted November 5, 2004 Hmmm? I suppose you're right. lol, i don't even know where the Yuki came from. Perhaps i will change her name. But she will probably stay American so i'll change her last name. Thanks for the advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dielover Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Wow... All thing considered i like it. It is a very original idea. I got one idea from a dream of mine for a story, but mine is more serious, but if you make it big with that idea i would not be surprised ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineOtakuNo2 Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 If you make it big you have to share with all your OB friends! Especially the ones that helped you out. As I've said before (was never answered) why did you think this was a bad idea. I've thrown the story around my school an most of the anime/manga fans like it. I just want an update to see if you are actually going to put some effort into it , and maybe see if you've made changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
