International College of Art & Design (hereinafter referred to as A&D) of the NSG Group FSG College League. The lecture will be given by , a web comic distribution site operated by Cygames Co., Ltd. Psychocomi A manga artist who is currently serializing “TSUYOSHI No one can win against him” in “ Kyosuke Maruyama “teacher. In addition to serializing manga, Mr. Maruyama holds lectures in various fields for the purpose of nurturing new manga artists, and in recent years he has also released explanatory videos on production techniques on his YouTube channel. In this class, Professor Maruyama’s theme is “communication skills.” Many people have the image of working alone when it comes to drawing work, but even if it’s a specialized field, it requires skills other than manga drawing skills to constantly interact with people such as editors and assistants. He says there are many. This time, we selected students’ works and displayed them on screen with Mr. Maruyama’s corrections.

The most important thing in creating manga is the “character,” and in order to draw that character in an appealing way, “your own personal skills” that have been gained from various experiences and inputs have a lot to do with it. In the second half of the class, Mr. Maruyama and the students worked together to improve their work with the aim of developing communication skills. A discussion was held. Together with the students, we considered what could be added to the production, frame layout, composition, and composition to make it easier to read, and we corrected the work in real time using a whiteboard.

Student comments “It was very refreshing to have discussions and exchange opinions with people.My current problem was that the character descriptions became monotonous, but I learned the importance of each action. It was very good.I will do my best to put my technique and communication to good use in order to bring my work to the Tokyo Committee in the new year.”
