Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening. I have an idea for a manga about appreciating small moments because they are fleeting, and how nobody pays attention to the little things that deserve it

Example: What gets more attention, the World Cup or watching the rain with a friend? So, I want to address that

The characters' names, put together, would give something like "In this fleeting moment, now... enjoy it."

What do you think of this idea of hidden phrases in names and the premise?

names:

Shunka → Mao → Raku

"In this fleeting moment, in the present… enjoy."

(瞬花 → 真央 → 楽)

1. Shunka (瞬花)

Literal meaning: "Flower of an instant" or "flower that lasts as long as a blink of the eyes."

Poetic meaning: Represents extremely fleeting beauty, like a falling petal or a flower that blooms and withers quickly. It symbolizes the ephemerality of life and precious moments.

2. Mao (真央)

Literal: "True center" or "central essence".

in the poetic meaning :

"The true center" or "the essence of the present moment" — the purest, deepest point of the now, free from distractions or thoughts of past and future. It's like finding the silent heart of the experience.

3. Raku (楽)

Literal meaning: "Pleasure," "comfort," "relief," or "easy."

Poetic meaning: Invites one to feel joy, lightness, and enjoyment. It is not an exaggerated pleasure, but a tranquil and grateful appreciation of the moment.

So, putting it all together, it gives "in this fleeting moment, now... enjoy it."

im working on starting a 2 volume mini series this year and I'm thinking of doing it monthly. altho ive heard monthly manga pacing are usually horrendous. I hope people don't forget too much content inbabmonth6

bi weekly seems to be the right balance however I think thats a bit crazy for my first series.

I'm eager to hear what yall think? my goal is to post chapters consistently to constantly have engagement and bring readers back.

I want to make a 200 page manga one-shot, but I have a problem.

I don’t have a good idea.

I can draw, and I really want to start tomorrow. But every idea I think about feels boring or too simple. Sometimes I start thinking, but after a few minutes, my brain just goes blank.

It feels like I want to build a big story, but I don’t know where to start.

Do you guys make the full story first, or just start drawing and create the story while drawing?

Also, how do you get ideas when you feel like you have no imagination?

If you ever had this problem and finished a one-shot, please share your experience. I really want to learn.

I'm working for someone as a line artist, and recently their previous artist, who did the storyboards, dipped, and they asked me if I could do a couple of pages to help get back on track with the line art.

The storyboard quality they are looking for would be stuff thats ready for inking (not the usual blob people I draw for my own storyboards lol)

I'm not super good at making storyboards for others, and this would be my first time (they also provided 3d models to help me understand what I'll need to draw). How much should I charge for each page? I'm not exactly sure how long it will take to draw all 3, but if I'm feeling hyped up, it shouldn't take too long.

For mine it happened hundreds of generations before when a big Power boom happened for my power system those that didn't awaken the powers got affected severely causing heightened physical traits and forceful awakenings eventually the people with the same abilities got into these clans. Fast forward to the present time these traits are still active barely as it diminishes with every generation these people are called inheritors this affected animals too however they are called mutants.

My power system i apologize if it's not very clear
