Start by thinking about what you would like to draw, what kind of scenes excite you most, what kind of setting, what kind of characters; this will facilitate your plot creation process. It is of utmost importance that the artist does their work with love, so put emotion first in the creative processes, follow your heart.

A theme is an essential part of creating a good manga; it's basically the reason your story exists, what justifies it to the reader. It can be anything; let's use One Piece as an example. The main theme of One Piece is freedom, and the author, Eiichiro Oda, develops his story from this theme, talking about freedom in various senses, such as the freedom of a people, freedom of thought, emotional freedom, and so on. As long as you have a basic theme, just follow it and develop the story. And remember, plot and theme are different elements.

If you are a beginner, the best thing to do is to write and draw short stories, of at least three pages and a maximum of five, this will help you a lot to know the manga format, the experience of writing a story with a beginning, middle and end will give you a lot of experience, no matter the theme of the story, the objective of creating short stories is just to train your narrative

To introduce your protagonist in your story, the ideal is to present him/her full-length on the page or at least show a large part of your character's body. This way, you will leave a strong impression of the protagonist on your readers. In addition, you should clearly show your protagonist's personality as soon as possible in the story, preferably on the first or second page. Furthermore, if your manga is black and white, add a dark element to your protagonist so that he/she stands out on the page, such as Goku's hair or Luffy's shirt.

To create good characters you need to make them simple to understand, a character that readers can easily understand is a good character, also think of contradictions for your characters, a character with contradictions becomes interesting, for example, a musician who is deaf, or a fearful hero, use your creativity.

CHARACTERS! The most important thing for a manga is the characters. Good characters can carry a manga even if the story isn't very good. Focus on creating captivating characters.
