This video actually made me think about my own manga that im working on, it's named Pitch Black. It's basically about a group of all-female vigilantes who try to take on their dark and corrupt world to change it for the better. It's sorta shonen-esque with a lot of supernatural/fantasy themes. It's also more so centered around the characters and watching them battle their internal challenges as flawed people and world as well. The title was basically supposed to represent how they constantly struggle and their world feels almost hopeless, so I kinda always wondered if my title held up as a good one 🤔

@etinarcadiaego7424 there are things call OEL manga (original english language) which is just a manga in the sense of the formatting and setting and about japanese characters, but written in the west. Mark Crilley's work is a good example. However works like Avatar the last Airbender are considered western graphic novels because even though the style is clearly manga influenced, it is produced in a standard western format, in English, with nothing in the work evoking a Japanese setting or anything Japanese. Remember, it's okay if your work isn't a manga in the traditional sense. A lot of us artists get heavily influenced by manga in our formative years and our early art journey and we end up in a very narrow scope of art style and idea of what our work must be like, but you can make a work identical to your ideal comic and still have it be a "western comic", it's really a matter of semantics and nothing else. However if you want to format your work like a manga (read backwards) and are drawing a very traditionally Japanese "anime" art style, then sure, you can call it a manga if you want. But remember, manga literally just means comic in Japanese. Its not a special category or "type" of comic. It's just a comic made by somebody who speaks Japanese and that's the only word they can call it. You can call every manga just a "comic" and it's still correct.

As a "not your average writer", I find creating titles to be hard when it's specifically catered to the genre and story you're trying to put out. For example, one of my titles is basically fanfiction but in a more... unique way. Zeroland, used to be simply called "Zero", is a series that emphasizes mixing reality with fiction with the main theme being the truth of humanity and the underlying themes of freedom, companionship and pre-determined fates. There are two sagas, I would like to call, for this series. The New Light saga, which I have finished from the start to the very end, and the Second Chance saga which I haven't finished because I have more projects that I want to write. For those that are curious for my other projects, here they are, starting from: Standalone Projects - Muhammad's Chronicles - A historical manga series inspired by Vinland Saga and tells a fictionalized version of Muhammad from the start of his life to his very own death alongside the themes of death, violence and peace. SYSTEM VEIL - A manga series highly inspired by God Eater and is set in a cyberpunk-ish dystopia apocalyptic setting where only one settlement exists and that is SYSTEM with the main theme being the greed of humanity. The Vampire Detective - A manga series that is inspired by Jun Mochizuki's Case Study of Vanitas and follows Havise Yamashiki, a Nasjonalite vampire detective with his personal detective agency, The Inspektoriani Case Agency, in solving a variety of cases in a supernatural Victorian era setting with the main theme being the identity of humanity. This Peaceful Life That I Know - A simple slice of life light novel series with a very dark twist that flips the simple genre on it's head, find out yourself. : ) Series Projects - The Catalyst-Process-Result Project - A series that follows three protagonists in three different fictional time-periods that are connected to each other. This series is still in progress in being layout of not only it's genre, but story, characters, terminology and lore. Rushè - An isekai manga series that instead of a bright new world, tells a dark old world where over a hundred years ago, the Distinction Event happened where humanity gains a second chance at life through death, if they have the will to keep on living and are afraid to die at that point.

@@bella_daze3092 Haha, I wish. The only problem is that... I don't think I have clarified it in my original comment so, I'll clarify it here much to everyone's dismay probably. Zeroland is not finished in the original sense, I label it as finish because the story is mostly done, the lore itself is also done, starting from the Singularity Plex all the way to the fiction-side of lore and the backstory light novels also being done in the unique sense. The only problem is that... I did not publish the stories, because I don't know how to draw, especially with projects that I explicitly labeled it's medium to be, which is manga and sometimes light novels. So, yeah. Sorry for the let down. The thing is, I can draw, it's just that the illustrations I have done are mostly copies or tracings of an existing picture (which is for school by the way, which is weird.) and for me personally, drawings are about realizing an imagination in a 2D plane which is where comics and manga come from, personally at least. So... yeah, me problem. But thanks for the interest though, if you want more questions on my projects. We can do that in Discord since it's where I'm online the most despite not being highly active much to my own disappointment. Tldr; Zeroland is not finished completely, only story-wise and many other things all because I can't properly draw in my own sense. Yeah, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I need to edit the title of my manga. The title came from the beta which was just a one off one page gag, so I didn't put much thought in. The series is currently called "So I'm Kinda a God", which gives insight into what it's about and was also meant to reflect the protagonist's way of speaking and dodging the question. However, I feel this title is a bit too long and not catchy enough. It has a few more syllables than a typical best seller and it doesn't flow that nicely. Also with so many words the acronym would be SIKAG, and I think 5 is pushing it. Also it's not a title you could easily shorten, like Toilet Bound Hanako Kun becomes hanako, the distasterous life of saiki k becomes saiki k and so on. I'm going to have to brain storm and work out a better title to ensure my work gets read.

Light novels from what I've heard, are the result of the site that hosts some of them literally not having a description function. While western webfiction sites will have descriptions and tagging, one of the more well-known Japanese sites I have heard only has the ability for a title, meaning authors are effectively required to have Homestuck troll movie titles as their light novel titles if they want to explain what the book is actually about. Personally, when it comes to titles, I like a few. Made in Abyss is a cool pun on Made in China. Houseki no Kuni (Land of the Lustrous) is wonderfully poetic. The full title of Worldend is just funny. And while I like both Casshern Sins and GakkouGurrashi! (School Live!), because they sound cool, I think Mahou Tsukai no Yome (The Ancient Magus'* Bride) is my favorite in that category. (* Magus' as singular possessive is inaccurate English. The plural is Magi, and singular possessive is Magus's. Despite this, the actual English title is Magus'.) As for my own titles, _The Bluff's Damsel, Wetware, Iron Vein,_ and others are pretty decent. I like to keep my titles related to the story, rather than naming them after characters. And the first of those I got from an old (now defunct) romance title generator (I think it literally spat out The Bluff and the Damsel or something). Meanwhile the other two are -punk action stories; the first a biopunk cyberpunk hybrid with heavy emphasis on the prior; and the latter a more purist cyberpunk, albeit both have elements of body horror. I do have another longer less-romance title by the name of _50 Years a Blade: Embrace,_ which while the main title is a direct reference to the overarching concept of the world the story takes place in, the subtitle is more intended as a one-word-title for this particular narrative's more emotionally driven story.

I think it does sound a bit straightforward, but you could definitely brainstorm variations of the phrase "grim" "grim reaper" and "reaper." Usually when people say the word reaper they know what it is referring to. My biggest concern for the title would be it getting lost in the google search results so you might want to add a few more keywords or shorten it to a single word or two words maybe I like the direction you are going in because it sounds like it fits your story, so it's a good placeholder for now!

Hahahah, the Clannad title is funny. It's actually shortened from 'Clann as Dobhar' (Irish for 'Children of Dore' - an area of the remote parish of Gweedore in County Donegal). Because everybody in the band, past and present, are all related (Ciarán, Pól, Moya and Enya Brennan - siblings - and their uncles Pádraig and Noel Duggan), it's a fitting misunderstanding. 'Clann' is more like 'family', but it's regularly translated as 'children', likely because it's a bit of a more vague term, but it's so close that the author of Clannad isn't a million miles off.

Sometimes I think that is okay. For example, "Rascal Does Not Dream About Bunny Girl Senpai" stops being about the bunny girl after like 4 chapters/episodes. From there the title feels less relevant. Still a great series though, but definitely something to keep in mind long term!

I'm currently working on my own comic series, it's called Dark & Light to represent the two main protagonists one's a hero the other's a villain. Long story short, the name Dark & Light is just a placeholder, but I couldn't find a better name for it so the placeholder name kinda stuck with me. What's your opinion?

If your story focuses on the differences of your two protagonists and you're switching perspectives constantly throughout the narrative, try naming it Gradient. It's more appealing and unique than Dark & Light while still getting the core idea across

@@onyxwolfreaper21 It's all in your story's themes and/or messages, or at least that's how I approach my titles. For example, I'm working on a project I've titled This Fleeting Feeling. It's a dating sim where the main theme revolves around time. The love interests all struggle with time marching on relentlessly in one way or another, and the protagonist has a terminal condition that will claim their life by the end of the year, which justifies an in-game deadline and gives the title context.

I do agree with the commenter above that Gradient has more of a professional sound to it. The first thing I thought when I saw your title is "that's 100% not showing up if someone googles 'dark and light." And that is something to keep in mind. It is also two very broad terms so copyrighting it would be difficult. I'm not saying the title is bad, I think it does relate to your story and is a good placeholder. I do think exploring some other ideas would be better marketability wise though. Even just combining the words like DarkLight makes it feel more unique

The best titles are short and catchy, two or three words max. A.K.A. One Piece, Dragonball, Keroro Gunsou, Space Dandy, Gurren Lagann and Kill La Kill. These titles are immediately recognizable and have a certain "staying power" to them.

Currently my story is titled "Spirit Masters vs Spirit Busters" Spirit Masters are people who befriended good spirits to fight evil spirits, while Spirit Busters are people who want to kill all spirits (including the good ones). Later they both found out that Satan's body has been sliced into multiple body parts. Spirit Masters think that collecting it will revive Satan, so they have to destroy it. Spirit Busters think that collecting it will create an ultimate weapon that will instantly destroy all spirits. They then race to find it first before the others

@MonitorComics

I can definitely make a video about short stories. What you are describing though often has to do with anime adaptations being cancelled A lot of anime that only have 13 episodes are usually much longer in their manga or light novel form. For whatever reason, the anime was cancelled though Other times, the adaptation chooses to rush the source material. The most notable example recently is The Promised Neverland skipped like 5 volumes Haikyuu is another example of an anime adaptation that is about to skip a ton of volumes with the upcoming movie being the last entry to the series

I personally like the third option, Your Cursed Love. It has that romantic feel like "My Love Story" "My Dress Up Darling" etc. Soulmance doesn't feel serious, it feels like something that is meant to be a joke. Damned Beauty isn't bad, but it doesn't really hint towards the ghost aspect that much. It also has a negative feel as "damn" is typically seen as a more vulgar word

So far I only have one story idea that doesn't have a title. A couple I have had to change because it was the same as another series or the new one fits better with the story. None of my ideas are anywhere close to being made because I am currently working on my portfolio for my carreer. Here is what I have so far and the genres they are. Beast Lords. Fantasy. Copy Mage: Master of Magic. Fantasy. Dragon Kings. Fantasy. Fallen: Supernatural. Hidden World. Supernatural. Killer Hero. Superhero. Magic Knights. Supernatural. Monster Containment. Apocalypse, Scifi fantasy. Monsters of Terra. Scifi, fantasy. Reborn Kings. Fantasy. Rise of the Nephilim. Supernatural, Apocalypse. Seven Sins. Supernatural. War of the Gods. Supernatural. I have a scifi story I don't have a name for yet. I am still deciding between three names. End of the war, Galactic war, or War of the stars. I'm thinking using Galactic War as the main title and using a subtitle for each book. I want this idea to have multiple books so I think that would work for this story. Like I said I am nowhere near making these right now so if anyone is interested about my stroies just ask.

What do you think of using a name that translates well to Japanese, rather than using Katakana and keeping the english titles? Two examples for different series im working on is Poison Shroom Apocalypse, translating as Dokukinoko Mokushiroku or Dokumoku since shortening titles is popular, and Scion of Storms translating as Arashi no Seishi/Shishi.

I feel like wordplay like that can be good if you actually understand Japanese. If you are just using a translator you could run into issues because some Japanese words and phrases don't have direct translations so you might be using the wrong terms.

Thank you for this video. But I'm still having a mountain on a tough time naming my series. I'd love your two cents, if anyone here wants to help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm writing a Superhero comic. So far I've got almost all the characters in the first chapter drawn out, names and powers sre done. Need a few more and i can move forward with it. I've also got an idea for the cover. But I'm drawing a blank on the storys name. I'm placing it in a fictional town in Washington state called Port Royal. There's a superhero academy that enrolls metahumans mostly and occasionally normal humans that are can handle their powered counterparts at the 10th grade level. The main character is am empath who can weaponize hus emotions like a Lantern Corpsman can. The narrator is a friend of his who does get powers of her own. I plan to tell the story from their ages if 16 to 20-22. Amy advice would be great
