[@pkirruti]

Thanks for the video. A critism i'd like to dpoint out is that though you've shown us Eric Muthoga's work and talent, you have unfortunately neglected to post his contact information and social media info in the description of the video you've uploaded. Please do so if you can.

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

Fantastic-- love to see manga grow all around the world. Artists and writers telling stories we'd never hear about, drawing amazing backgrounds that are rich in cultural detail, incorporating their own immediate world into their fantasy or realistic storylines. Great!

Well do you expect to improve in a week? It takes years to get better at art. So don't get your hopes up too much.

[@berrytuhaste9490]

When my drawings get semi decent I will post my work around the inter webs. I am inspired to improve my drawings skills especially when it comes to manga because one day as a kid I wondered why black anime characters were not common and I didn’t realize it was a Japanese style cartoon. I want to make like maybe a 12 page manga book and upload it. This is a little dream I have I know I can do it. Very awesome to see a black mangaka

[@flip1sba]

Manga is more associated with Japan. These artists can be influenced by manga but are better off developing their own style including artwork and theme that is more associated with Kenya than with Japan.
