VIZ Originals is excited to return to TCAF to participate in Portfolio Reviews and meet aspiring mangaka! We’re particularly interested in one-shot stories, so if you are working on a one-shot and want feedback, sign-up for a review by former Editor-in-Chief of Shonen Jump, Hisashi SASAKI! If you don’t have a one-shot ready, we also have general portfolio reviews available. We would love to see samples of your sequential art that highlight dynamic paneling, skillful black-and-white artwork, and compelling storytelling.

This will be an in-person portfolio review, so applicants must attend TCAF on the day of review.   

Check our portfolio guidelines below for what we look for in a submission.

All set? Fill out the form to begin!

Portfolio Guidelines

To give us the best idea of your talents, these are what we’d like to see in your portfolios:

Artists:

• Samples of sequential works that best highlight your art style and storytelling
• Best works that showcase composition, character expressions, and scene details
• Include finished pieces, not only sketch or concept work
• Include original character art pieces – some fan work is okay

Writers:

• Samples of sequential works that best highlight your writing and story ideas
• List your creative writing work – prose and fan work is okay
• VIZ Originals can only consider writing samples in English at this time
