"They were very flexible and it was wonderful that I could try different things according to my level. When they casually brought out a plate for checking typesetting font sizes, I was secretly excited. At the end, you get both the original manuscript and the printed version, so it is perfect for making memories. Thank you for such a fun time."

"My wife and I had a wonderful experience at the start of our three-week honeymoon. The teaching was fun and we really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend it both to people who want to learn more about manga techniques and to those who are not confident at drawing. The teachers are very patient and truly kind."

Antonio Afles Lorenzin (man in his 30s) April 2026

"We parents only dropped them off and picked them up, while our 12-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter joined on their own. It was a wonderfully creative two hours. The professional manga artist Anna and the bilingual manga assistant Satomi are excellent teachers. I confidently recommend this experience to people of all ages."

Phillipa Angel (woman in her 40s) February 2026

"It was my first time drawing with professional tools. I sketched with a soft pencil, erased with a kneaded eraser, inked with a mapping pen and ink, filled in solid blacks, applied screentones, and added typeset text in my preferred font to the speech bubbles. In the end, I created a one-of-a-kind piece. Thanks to the teacher's advice and encouragement, I was able to focus in a very warm and relaxed atmosphere."
