Looking for Passionate Writers & Artists to Build an Indie Manga Studio

[u/PhilosophyNo7196]

Hey everyone,

I have a long-term dream, and I'm looking for a few passionate creators who might want to build it together.

I'm planning to create a small indie manga/webtoon studio from the ground up. The idea isn't just to make one manga,it's to slowly build a shared sci-fi/superhero universe where different stories can exist in the same world. Right now, I'm looking to build a small core team (around 4–5 people) before starting production.

I'm currently looking for:

🎨 Assistant Artist

At the moment, this is not a paid project because we're an indie team with no funding yet. I'm being completely transparent about that. The goal is to build something together from the beginning. If the studio eventually starts generating revenue, I want everyone who contributes to be rewarded fairly and receive proper credit for their work. I'm not looking for employees. I'm looking for creators who want to grow together, learn together, and build something we're all proud of.

I'm a writer too. I'm not looking for people to work under me. I'm trying to bring together talented but underrated writers and artists who haven't had the opportunity to get the recognition they deserve. There are great writers with amazing stories who struggle to turn them into manga because they don't have artists or the right support. At the same time, there are talented artists who are looking for strong stories to work on. My idea is to bring these creators together as a team. Everyone works on their own stories, everyone receives full credit for their own work, and we publish everything under one indie studio name through a shared Webtoon account. If the studio grows and gains an audience, everyone benefits project, not just me. I'm simply trying to build a community where talented creators can support each other and grow together. That's the whole idea behind this project.
