★ About Me
I'm Foxy, a filmmaker turned manga story writer, here to share all I have learned about writing using the Eastern art of storytelling. My goal is to help aspiring Mangaka make their masterpieces. I'll even be showcasing the development of my big manga project that I have been working on for over 3 years so far, called "V-Esper-1." It's a supernatural mystery Seinen about a terminally ill con-artist taking on a sinister organization bent on controlling the minds of humanity. I am a big plotter, so it'll take some time before it will be published, but I am determined to create something on par with many of the Mangaka I look up to.

Join me on a quest to create something that isn't terrible.
