Manga Artist/Co-owner
The Heaviest Sword– A dark seinen-style fantasy manga about conflict, power, and its consequences. In a medieval world where disputes are settled by steel, a stoic wanderer named Kagero — known only as “The Heaviest Sword” — possesses a dangerous ability called Gravemark. Every heavy strike he lands builds punishing recoil that stacks on his own body. As whispers of his return spread, powerful figures begin testing him while he navigates a Guild that organizes violence to prevent total chaos. Tone & Style: Grounded, intense sword fights with strong choreography, subtle character moments, internal tension, and building world lore (Threshold Bearers, Guild Hall, etc.). Think restrained protagonist with Berserk-level weight in the action but more focused on control and consequence. What I Have Ready:
- Full detailed script for Chapters 1–7 (panel-by-panel breakdowns, dialogue, SFX, and internal monologues).
- Clear visual descriptions perfect for dynamic black & white manga pages.
- Strong opening hook (sword-shattering duel in Chapter 1) and escalating fights.
Project Plan (Start Small): We begin with Chapter 1 (12 pages) as a test to check chemistry and style match. If it works well, we continue chapter by chapter. Aiming for classic manga page layout with impactful action sequences, expressive faces, and clean line art. What the Artist Gets:
- Full credit on every page and in any release.
- High-quality portfolio pieces (intense fight scenes + character work).
- Creative input on visuals and minor story tweaks.
Looking for:
- Artist passionate about dark fantasy / action manga.
- Comfortable with fight choreography and expressive storytelling.
- Good communication and reliability for a long-term passion project.
If you’re interested, please reply or DM me with:
- 2–3 examples of your manga-style work (especially action/fight scenes if possible).
- A short note on why this story appeals to you.
