What You Get

Everything in One Unforgettable 2-Hour Session

✏️

Learn Real Pro Manga Techniques

Master character design, inking with authentic G-pens, dynamic speed lines, and screen tones — the exact same tools Japan's professional mangaka use every day.

🎭

Create Your Own Unique Character

You design it, you draw it. Your sensei guides you step-by-step from concept sketch to finished manga page. Complete beginners are warmly welcome — and for those who love art and want to learn real professional technique, this is the closest you'll get to the actual industry workflow.

🎁

Take Home Your Manga Story — Framed

You'll create your very own 4-panel manga story from scratch — then leave with it beautifully framed, ready to hang on your wall. A piece of your own creativity, made in Tokyo with a real pro. No souvenir could be more unique.

How It Works

From Blank Page to Manga Masterpiece — in 3 Steps

1

Choose Your Character

Start by sketching your hero. Your sensei helps you develop a unique character concept — hero, villain, or anything you imagine.

→
2

Learn with Your Sensei

Ink your linework with a real G-pen, add dynamic speed lines, and apply screen tones — just like a professional mangaka at a real Tokyo studio.

→
3

Take Home Your Framed Manga

Put the finishing touches on your 4-panel manga story — inking, screen tones, everything. Then walk out with it framed, ready to display. Your story, your art, made with your own hands in Tokyo.

"Absolute highlight of our Tokyo trip! The sensei was incredibly patient and talented. I had zero drawing experience and still created something I'm genuinely proud of. The fact that he's a real published artist makes it so special — you can feel the difference from a regular tourist class."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Not at all — complete beginners are our most common guest. Your sensei guides you through every step, from first pencil sketch to final ink. That said, if you love art and want to learn real professional manga technique from a working industry pro, you'll get that depth here too. Everyone leaves with something they're genuinely proud of.
Everything is provided: professional manga manuscript paper, authentic G-pens and ink, pencils, screen tones, ruler, and all drawing materials. Your finished 4-panel manga story is framed on-site so you can take it straight home — the most one-of-a-kind Tokyo souvenir possible. Just bring yourself and your curiosity — nothing else needed.
Yes — free cancellation is available up to 48 hours before your session. If your plans change, you can also reschedule to another available date at no extra charge. We know travel plans can be unpredictable.
The workshop is conducted in English by our professional, English-speaking sensei. Visual step-by-step demonstrations mean even guests with limited English can follow along with ease. Japanese instruction is also available upon request.
Yes! Children aged 7 and above are welcome — kids especially love using the real professional G-pens and screen tones. Children under 12 should be accompanied by a participating adult. It's a wonderful family experience.
We intentionally keep groups very small — a maximum of 8 guests per session. This ensures every guest receives personal guidance and real attention from the sensei. We are not a large, crowded tourist class.
Yes! Couples, families, and small groups are all welcome to book together — please contact us to arrange a private or group session, custom scheduling, and quotes.
Three things set us apart: (1) Our instructor is professionally published — not a hobbyist or art school teacher. Over 90% of manga workshops in Tokyo are taught by amateurs. (2) We are the only professional manga workshop in Shibuya — all competitors are in Akihabara, Nakano, or Ikebukuro. (3) You use real professional tools — authentic G-pens, real screen tones, and professional manuscript paper — not simplified tourist versions. This is the real thing.
