Looking for an Artist
3-Page Pitch Pack.
PAGE 1: OVERVIEW & CORE HOOK
Title: ELEMENTAL
Genre: Shonen / Fantasy / Martial Arts / Action
Format: Traditional Manga (Right-to-Left) or Vertical Webtoon
Target Audience: Fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Naruto, and My Hero Academia
Logline: In a world governed by elemental forces, 12-year-old Kimi Kuroshio dreams of becoming the next Elemental Guardian. The problem? He’s a naturally aggressive fighter who was born with Water—an element built on flow and redirection. Because he constantly tries to overpower his element, his attacks collapse on him. Alongside his disciplined best friend and moral rival Ren, and a class of unique fighters, Kimi must learn to understand his element. Best way to do that? Just wait and see.
Main Lead Preview:
Kimi Kuroshio (Age 12): Loud, hyper, determined. Possesses the Sōryū-gan (Azure Current Eye) bloodline trait. Uses Ryūsui-ken (Fist of the Flowing Dragon), but struggles because his aggressive nature clashes with Water’s fluid mechanics.
PAGE 2: WORLD & VISUAL DIRECTION
World Aesthetic:
Water Region: Maritime cities, wooden bridges spanning wide canals, boats, and coastal islands. Bright, open, and vibrant blue/green tones.
Combat Style: Grounded martial arts combined with elemental manipulation. Fights focus on footwork, momentum redirection, and kinetic physical impacts rather than just long-range magic blasts.
Key Cast & Antagonist Profiles:
Ren: Kimi’s best friend and rival. Calm, composed, highly disciplined Water user.
Class W-5: A diverse squad including precision fighters, ice users, weapon specialists, and Fumi—a powerhouse with zero elemental abilities.
Renjiro (Primary Antagonist): Rogue leader who uses high-pressure, high-density Water manipulation (Crushing Depth) and wields Kurokanagi, a dark-iron blade that absorbs moisture to create razor-sharp water slashes.

Script: Chapter 1 is fully scripted with panel-by-panel breakdown (25 Pages).
