No.

Source? does not require professional-level drawing skills.

We do not teach anatomy or illustration fundamentals — you can learn those anywhere.

Source? teaches how to:

• turn an idea into a story
• structure pages
• place dialogue
• finish a complete manga

Even simple drawings can become a finished manga.

Not exactly.

Art schools and teachers help improve your drawing.

Source? teaches how to create manga as a medium — storytelling, pacing, and completion.

Think of Source? Manga Academy as a “manga creation system,” not a drawing class.

Yes.

You can:

• download the app
• join beginner lessons
• submit your first manga for free

Some advanced features and programs require a subscription.

Your work is evaluated based on:

• structure
• clarity
• completion

If you pass, you may access advanced programs and challenges.

Possibly.

Outstanding works may be selected for further development and potential publication opportunities.

Publication is not guaranteed, but Source? provides a pathway and production support.

You do.

Creators always retain ownership of their manga.

Source? does not take rights to your work without a separate agreement.

Not primarily.

Source? Manga Academy is designed for growth, not elimination.

Challenges and rankings exist to motivate creators, not to remove them.

Most beginners can complete a 1-page manga within a few days.

The goal of the first stage is not perfection — it is completion.

Beginner:

Learn the workflow and finish your first manga.

Advanced:

Improve quality, revise works, and prepare for publication-level production.

No.

You can use Source?  Manga Academy individually.

However, some art schools may use Source? as part of a class.

Because most creators stop halfway.

Finishing even a simple manga teaches more than endlessly practicing sketches.

Source? Manga Academy is designed to help you cross that barrier.
