The First Impromanga

Please note the first impromanga was discontinued.

How it Works

People sign up and are assigned a slot of time. The first person writes and draws as many manga pages as they can get done in their timeslot. This is the beginning of the story.

The next person then takes it from there, and in his or her timeslot, must make a few pages of their own. Then the next person must carry on the story, and so on. The idea is that, although a coherent story must be made, as long as it relates to the previous pages and makes sense, you’re free to have fun.

We’re always looking for new artistes to contribute to our ImproManga. Just post in the forum if you’re interested!

Setting

Just like the fifties brought the age of the teenager, sometime in the near future will be the time of the juvenile delinquent. Forget mobile phones, every kid now owns a gun. Instead of trading cards, they trade rare ammunition types. Schools are now the most dangerous places to be, which has led to the creation of a new role to keep the peace - The Special Prefecture!

The Prefects are charged with the duty of bringing order to chaos and protecting the innocent. This is no mean feat - they may be armed with all the latest weaponry and the skills to use them, but so is everyone else!

Plot

Our ImproManga is a love story/detective story with a dash of guns and action and plenty of humour.

The story centres on four Prefects: one strong-silent type, one boffin, one over-enthusiastic idiot and one femme fatale. Our strong-silent and a particular cute girl are probably destined to fall in love – the only problem is the cute girl's brother just happens to be a leader of a pretty tough gang, who certainly don’t have any love for prefects. On top of everything else, a mysterious third party has slipped into the mix and is stirring up trouble with the Prefects and the rival gangs...

Of course, that’s just a broad overview. The intricate twists and turns that the ImproManga must take are up to you!

Characters

As much as possible, try to keep to this character list. Obviously, your slot doesn’t need to show all of them, but they must have the main roles. Your own personal characters are free to make appearances in your pages, but they can’t make ground-breaking plot developments.

Character designs are provided, but you don’t need to draw them exactly as shown, after all, it’s about making your own style shine through.
