Supplies Required: A pen and paper for writing.
First thing first, having a clear draft of the story is important. A rough and blurry idea, or wait-and-see-where-the-story –is-going attitude is NOT a good attitude for beginners. In most cases you will found yourself giving up halfway and never want to go back again, because the inspiration has dried out, or you failed to see when you should stop. Put the story in writing if you can, even if it's just an outline. If this is your first manga, start with a short story of 2~8 pages, 16 pages tops. It will be so much easier for you to plan the process, and increases the possibility of finishing the whole story. Once you handle the short stories well enough, long series will not be much of a challenge any more.
