How to Write Perfect Opening Chapters

[@user-nm4pq4kc3u]

As an aspiring (comic/ manga) writer, this is one of the best videos about comic specific storytelling I’ve ever seen. Wonderful example and break down. Thank you!

[@sdpad1899]

Wow!!! Thank you for the amazing comment! I hope to make some more just like : D

I was trying to think of panels that caused this reaction in me and there's nothing that will ever top a page from Billy Bat (I won't say it's contents in case you haven't read it). The first half of that manga is probably the best example of this video's contents, one of the biggest page turners I've ever read. I swear your analysis are 1000 IQ stuff. Idk how you manage to spot and break down these storytelling techniques but it's SO helpful. My mangas will owe you one 😭

[@sdpad1899]

I read Pluto and 20th Century Boys, I haven't read Billy Bat yet but I need something to read so I'll give it a go :D Oh awesome I'll check it out! I'm so happy that it helped your manga out! I mainly make these to try and gather my own thoughts to help me with my writing haha so it's really cool to hear that it can help your manga! Please send me a link when it's done I'd love to read it!

Your page is so Underrated man I feel like you explain things in a very engaging way

[@sdpad1899]

Thanks for the awesome feedback! I just need to try and make more videos haha

[@fadimeozdemir4453]

Omg that one page made me jump on my seat xD didnt expect that

[@sdpad1899]

Hahaha me too!

[@Sawddpit12]

The goat, to someone who’s never engaged in manga content before his certainly has me hooked. Much better editing than so many KZbinrs I’ve seen online delving into other topics.

[@sdpad1899]

Wow that's the highest praise!!!! Thanks so much!!!! Yeah slowly improving my editing hahaha going to try and make more videos like this :D

[@schocoman3000]

[@phillipcontreras720]

Nice. that's good advice for all writing types this breakdown of unexpected moments and revelations not drawing on too long and not becoming too formulaic and expected. I'll keep that in mind.

[@sdpad1899]

Thanks for watching! :D

Great editing on this one man! Really enjoyed the last segment of the vid, the perfect chapter is the one that turns casual viewer into fans. :)

[@sdpad1899]

Thanks so much!!! I love that comment! Hahaha

[@Czar_Art_]

Bro I read it last weekend and I wasn’t thought it had so much effort in the story and I wanted to stop collecting it but I’ll see the price for the box set!

[@sdpad1899]

Yeah I should really buy the boxset in the future! There are some arcs that are a little slow but there are some really great moments in it :D

[@DippedInInk]

Very good breakdown......My favorite manga is SAKAMOTO DAYS.....OMG I am sooooo hooked!!!! The new anime that caught my attention is One Punch Man, Chainsaw Man and DanDaDan...those caught me off guard.

[@sdpad1899]

I love Sakamoto Days too! And I'm currently reading DanDaDan I'm really enjoying it super funny and the relationship between the characters is great!

[@DippedInInk]

@ indeed. Binge watching Kaiju No. 8 now. It’s surprisingly good.

[@sdpad1899]

Thanks so much! Yeah I've got loads more ideas for videos :D

[@Abilovesbooks]

New subscriber here! Your videos are so helpful! Do you have any advice for someone who wants to create a manga but can't personally do the art? I'm a writer, but I can't draw very well.

[@sdpad1899]

@@Abilovesbooks I’m glad I could help! Yeah I also can’t draw and use illustrators haha, that’s a great idea for a video! I’ll add that to the list :D
