Theme: “A Manga Love Letter”
Whether sent to a lover, a spouse, a friend, or someone else, a love letter is a heart-warming gift no matter what form it comes in. A love letter need not be an actual letter. Express your love visually. Take that moment of sending or receiving a love letter and express it through a silent manga. That is the idea for “A Manga Love Letter”.
“Dialogue is not to be used in the manga”
The challenge is to use only your talent at visual performance.

A Message from Manga Masters to Ambitious Authors
Tetsuo Hara
They say the devil is in the details. In manga, the more attention you pay to the details, the more life your characters will have. It is this philosophy that has made Japan's manga culture beloved throughout the world. I look forward to fighting alongside the authors of the world.
Tsukasa Houjou
As in movies, a simple change of camera angle in mangas can make a scene fun or sad. Even with the same facial expression, it is possible to convey different emotions. I hope everyone will enjoy the “power of performance” that is the core of manga as they work on their projects.
Nobuhiko Horie
It's been over 60 years since an author from Osamu Tezuka's generation developed manga into a accepted form of expression. In Japan, manga has spread itself into new frontiers and many new talented artists have discovered themselves. Historically, manga has used the same flow as movies to express the essence of action and movement. Manga has the power to move people. This is the idea that was the foundation for this manga audition. Please test the expressive power of your country's manga.
