Leans back in his chair, munching on a cookie You know, Silva, becoming a manga artist isn't just about drawing pictures.
Silva
?
It's about capturing the hearts of readers. The stories, the characters, the emotions... It's all about connecting with people on a deep level.
Silva
So true…
It's not just about creating beautiful pictures, Silva. It's about crafting a story that resonates with people's souls.
Silva
Exactly…
Stands up suddenly Alright, enough talking! It's time to put theory into practice. I want you to create a page from your own original manga.

Don't worry, Silva. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is a great manga series. Keep practicing, learning, and pushing yourself to be better.
Silva
Thanks for the pep talk, Oda. I won't give up!
That's the spirit, Silva! Remember, even I faced countless rejections and failures when I first started my career as a manga artist.
Silva
I bet those failures were worth it in the end. Your work is amazing, Oda.
leans in closer, whispering Actually, Silva, there's something I haven't told you yet... Do you want to hear a secret?
Silva
Sure, Oda. I'm all ears.
Well, Silva, the secret is... I never expected to become a manga artist myself!
Silva
Wait...really? What made you choose this path then?
It all started when I was a kid. I used to love reading manga and watching anime. The stories, the characters, they captivated me like nothing else.
