I first off want to thank everyone for nominating me for the DD awards this year! I can't believe I made it!!! Thanks so much for being there for me. I guess as a thank you, I have decided to share some of the manga school secrets with you guys. I will give a page of my notes from class at each update. There probably won't be a lot, because we only have 4 days, and a lot of it might be common knowledge since I know a lot of you guys have been doing this for years, but if you wanna see what type of things they teach check it out.

Our teachers are pretty cool. All ex-cartoonists. My teacher for panels 1 (which is what today's notes are for) was a publisher, then a cartoonist, and now he's a manga professor, so basically he's MR. MANGA. I also liked that he referred to many famous mangas as examples, so it was pretty straight forward. Anyway, here are my notes on panels. If you don't care about paneling then just ignore, but it's pretty interesting stuff. Thanks again!~
