Fun manga workshop for any skill level - I took this class on March 6, having just arrived in Tokyo and still quite jet lagged, but I had a wonderful time nonetheless! Rokkaku (manga sensei) and Ai (interpreter) were an absolute delight. Rokkaku did the initial draft of the character and pose I wanted and then helped me outline, add detail, ink, and use screen tone. Ai was lovely and kept the conversation flowing between the three of us, made sure we were on schedule, and helped communicate any questions I had or if I needed help from Rokkaku. I have a bit of art experience so it really felt like a collaborative workshop where I got to learn the tools and style of manga. I would recommend this activity whether or not you have drawing experience, Rokkaku was always there to help me sketch out an idea or make suggestions when I got stuck. All in all it was a really fun way to spend the first day of a trip to Tokyo!

Two hours is going to be quick. - It is a great experience for comic book lovers. Rather than just being an "anime experience," you can actually experience how the boys' manga you read is decorated and what process is used to create it. The instructor is a professional manga artist, and he just enjoys the time (copying, etc.) of drawing scenes from his favorite manga. Basically, it seems to be for foreign visitors to Japan, but you can fully enjoy it even if you are a Japanese. If you want to know the other side of the manga, I highly recommend you try it.

Amazing experience! - We enjoyed it a lot. We found it very helpful and insightful. As an artist, my son learned a lot. As someone who supports the arts, it gave me a different perspective.

10/10 - I had a great experience with Machi and Sensei. Everything was easy to follow and understand which made the experience fun and relaxing. Would highly recommend it's good to see how the pros draw and make manga, Sensei looks over your work and gives feedback so you can walk away with something you are happy with. Overall a very unique Japanese experience!

The instructor was very... - The instructor was very helpful, I have previous drawing experience and my mom had none. He did a brief sketch and I updated mine to my tastes and my mom just traced hers. Then when we put the sticker background (forgot the name) he helped us finish it.
