Incredible - It was incredible. Kousei-sensei was very patient and a great pedagogue with us! No matter your level of drawing, he helps you with whatever you need help with, so you'll leave with something you like. It was amazing learning how traditional manga pages are done. Would recommend as it will probably be one of our best memories from Japan!

Great Experience! Perfect Souvenir! - I am so glad we did this! Thank you to our professional manga artist and our excellent translator. Our class took place in a tall, skinny office building in the Shibuya area of Tokyo. That, by itself, was cool, as we sat in a conference room overlooking a busy street - a new way to experience Tokyo. Our artist was clearly a talented professional. He did an initial sketch for us of an image of our choosing. Our kids chose a frame of their favorite anime characters. My husband and I each chose a photo from our travels. Then, once we had the initial sketch, we added the details, did the inking, and coloring of the image with our teachers guidance. He made sure we didn’t mess up too badly. We all left with our own manga drawing of something important to us. So cool and personal! Also, I see the effort and care that goes into this art. Thank you for sharing your craft with us!

Manga Sensei was very cool guy!! - I was a little hesitant to book. When we arrived we were greeted very kindly and both the interpreter and the Manga Sensei were so nice and very personable. My 12 year old son learned some new techniques and loved the whole experience. I thought it was well worth the money. I’m not a great artist but the outcome was amazing. We are framing both our drawings and hanging them together in my son’s room to remember our trip.

Hidden Gem in Tokyo’s Creative Heart! - Stumbled upon this manga workshop in Shibuya and what an incredible find! My son walked in as a curious kid and left as a budding manga artist. The teacher was patient, encouraging, and truly passionate about the craft. Watching him learn authentic Japanese drawing techniques was pure magic. The skills and confidence he gained are priceless souvenirs that no tourist shop could sell. This wasn’t just an activity, it was a doorway into Japanese culture and artistic expression. The memories created here will outlast any souvenir, and Tokyo’s creative spirit lives on in every stroke he makes now. Absolutely recommended for any young artist visiting Tokyo!

Fun Exper - My grandson (26 yrs) attended this workshop. The following review is from him: The Manga tour was an incredible amount of fun. Finding the place was easy thanks to the in-depth instructions. Both the instructor and translator were very engaging and helpful. The drawings provided were all cool to look at and refer to. They even let you choose your own reference image. I had an incredible time and would recommend it to anyone who likes anime and manga.
