Created for a New Generation of Creators
Great characters and ideas are being created everywhere.
SMA exists to help those ideas go further — from a single illustration or concept into manga, stories, worlds, and original IP.
Our Mission
Help Creators Turn Characters & Ideas Into Stories
To make manga creation easier to understand and accessible to creators everywhere.
We help illustrators move beyond individual artwork, while giving beginners and manga fans a clear place to start creating their own stories.
Our Vision
Create a Global Stage for New Stories
We want to see original manga and IP emerge from creators across different countries, cultures, and backgrounds.
Our goal is to connect global creativity with manga-making knowledge from Japan and help standout stories reach bigger stages.
