VIZ Originals

Session 1: Friday, July 25th, 11:30AM-1:30PM | Portfolio Review Area

VIZ Originals is VIZ’s imprint dedicated to publishing original graphic novels such as Devil’s Candy, Fangirl: The Manga, and more! We’re looking for talented creators inspired by manga and anime and hope to see samples of your sequential art that highlight dynamic paneling, skillful black-and-white artwork, and compelling storytelling. Sign up for a Portfolio Review to share your work and speak directly with VIZ editors.

VIZ One-Shots

Friday, July 25th, 11:30AM-1:30PM | Portfolio Review Area

The VIZ One-Shots program is a chance for aspiring creators, or mangaka, to develop a one-shot manga in consultation with experienced VIZ editors. A one-shot is a short, self-contained, manga of approximately 20-50 pages. We accept submissions both right-to-left (Japanese style) and left-to-right (Western style). Completed pages are preferred, but we can accept a work-in-progress. Thumbnails are okay, but please also include samples of inked paneled pages and character designs.
