The grand-prize winner will be rewarded with 300,000 yen (US$2,800) and have their entry turned into a serialized manga in the pages of Ultra Jump.
Well, now you’ve got a chance to prove it, because manga publisher Shueisha is taking plot submissions for a new manga series to run in the pages of its Ultra Jump monthly comic anthology.
The runner-up will receive 200,000 yen and a one-shot manga adaptation of their story in Ultra Jump, and an unspecified number of honorable mentions will all receive 50,000 yen.
In some people’s minds, writing a hit manga shouldn’t be that difficult.
