Wir haben es als Familie geschafft, das jeder ein schönes Manga erstellt hat. Die Techniken wurden gut erklärt und bei Problemen wurde super geholfen. Es war ein tolles Erlebnis und wir haben eine hochwertige Erinnerung für zu Hause.
This manga drawing workshop was an incredible experience! Kousei-sensei, the mangaka, was amazing—he clearly explained the drawing techniques, step by step, making it fun and accessible even for beginners. His talent, passion, and years of experience were truly inspiring. What made the activity even more special was being able to talk with him directly. We asked many questions about the manga world, his career, inspirations, and process. He was kind, humble, and open, which made the exchange very enriching. A huge thank you to Ai, the translator, who made the conversation smooth and natural. She was kind, attentive, and helped create a warm atmosphere. We learned a lot about manga creation and Japanese culture. I highly recommend this experience—even if you don’t know how to draw!
Such a fun and unique experience for our family! Our instructors and interpreter were top-notch and gave us the confidence and guidance to create our artwork!
Fun
Mangaka and translate were both friendly and made sure we interacted and enjoyed the experience. One of us had some experience and the other had no drawing experience, but we were both able to get a finished manga panel by the end of the 2.5 hours. Would recommend for anyone interested in anime/manga for a an experience to do in Japan.
This is the most amazing class for all ages. The instructor was patient with my 10 year old son and me. It was just us. Translation was easy to understand. Go a bit early as finding the building was tricky. Wonderful experience.
It was really cool to meet a professional manga artist and learn how all the steps must be connected to get a drawing together. The people were super friendly and provided a lot of informations, no questions were left behind and I could choose my own picture to draw. I loved this experience and it sparked the interest to draw also in my free time and become better every day. If you like manga and anime you definitely should try this experience, but I recommend to go there with 2 participants. Thank you again for this beautiful experience.
This tour was fantastic, Kamaya Katsuki is truly a master at his craft and had really good insight on manga and it's creation. I would heavily recommend anyone from anyone who loves manga to go to this.
Both kids and adults had a lot of fun! We did custom drawings that came out excellent and we learned manga techniques in the process.
