Manga is nowadays the most widely read comic book in the world.
Its attractive aesthetics has deeply influenced young readers and its narrative formula has revolutionized the language of comics.
The latest generations of specialized cartoonists show us the undoubted influence of the Japanese formula in their works, based on a graphic-narrative concept with a more emotional connotation.
Over the course of three years, the course covers the entire creative process of manga and delves into those aspects that differentiate it from comics made in the West.
Due to its format and application, the course syllabus adapts to all kinds of objectives: from the most playful to the most demanding interpretation.
The syllabus of the first year focuses on the basics of drawing, immersing in manga through its characters.
The second and third years seek a greater solidity in drawing and discover the language of the medium, analyzing styles and narrative.
Through both processes the student will achieve his best level both in drawing and in the interpretation of stylistic and narrative resources.
It is a year dedicated to the assimilation and improvement of the basics of drawing, according to the level with which the student enters the course.
At the same time, the first steps are taken in the manga universe, through the characterization of the characters, both physical and psychological.
