Comment from Ryoichi Yokoyama I often talk about how to spread manga online in guest lectures, but this time I dedicated a lot of time to readable drafts. I believe that improving your drafting skills is the most essential thing to becoming a manga artist, as drafts are the foundation of manga. I would be very happy if this lecture proves to be beneficial to all the students. I'm cheering you on! ■ New Plans – Mo
