"One day two years ago I wake up (in the sense that I opened eyes of the mind) and I realize that the years go by without my passion for comics had resulted in some way. So, I resume the old tables of ten years and decide to get to work, seriously this time. In those days, it so happens that I go over the advertising of a manga.
"will be the usual crap about the manga, the usual platitudes" I tell myself. But the curiosity is too much and takes over. The course is also online. I'm beginning to publish some of my drawing, and I get the first two friend requests.
Ernestgirl Nives and Savior.
I look at their pages and their designs and I down a shot ... very good, ... and professional people waaay years younger than me. We begin to confront and to respect each other (I still wonder how it is possible that the estimate is mutual, because I'm so far behind them ...) And then something clicked. We write, talk, comment on our work in a word, we will face.
And we discover to be different in design and in the stories we create, but with a common factor ...
Indeed, many factors ... First, we understand the idea of \u200b\u200bManga. We understand the vital necessity of storytelling. We understand that the stories we want to have to communicate qualcosa.Ci grande.Questo common factor we call it a joke factor M, which today, following democratic Voting within the group, is the factor MANGA.

Then we turn to manga in talent scout and go hunting for talent. The intent is to form a "living room on line" of cartoonists, who have talent and are willing to debate and willing to take part in a serious way in the discussions and eventually to joint projects. You add Nari Shishitsu, Eikochan, Bunnykira, Enrichan, Nillhenia, Lidivien, Ticcy, Neuro and many others until Onibaka and Kokoro, which are among the latest entries in the group.
We also have the moral support of two deluxe tutor as Midori Yamane and Giorgia Caterini.
Party's first project together ... the construction of a where some of our self-produced magazine published short stories, chapters of the pilot. We want to participate in trade shows with our work.
We met at Lucca Comics 2009 for the first time in person (although not all have been there) and it was as if we knew all along.
In creating the name and mascot of the group we worked pig brain storming and the beautiful ink OINK name, our mascot, is representative of all of us ... also because it is good because self-deprecating ... never take yourself too seriously. We are all well aware of the need to improve still, those who work and look better with admiration and nobody from the top down. This is critical to improve. If we believe we have arrived (but if we are not even almost party!) We would have already failed. Personally
comparison with the group made me learn and grow in terms of comics, as well as the human one, faster than ten years of solitary work.

I strongly believe in this team and what we can accomplish together ... I believe so much that this post had to be very serious ... it has become very serious! As
were born on our manifesto, our blog, the logo ... now we are working with the magazine .... and it is only the beginning ...
