Update: November 9, 2005
«©NCSX» Glide into the shoes of an aspiring manga artist who hopes to become the next Rumiko Takahashi or Yumiko Igarashi. In Japan, the word manga-ka refers to a cartoonist who doodles comics for the masses... or maybe just a few local yokels who enjoy "dem purty pictures." To unleash her full creative animus, the heroine sets out to conquer 20 mini-games which build up her artistic credentials, skills, and equipment. Games include basketball, catching items thrown by three busy artists, matching puzzle games, and many more. When it's time to create manga, the NDS stylus is used to create mini-comics which may or may not make any sense. It's up to you and for your own bemusement and for anyone whom you share the manga with. A set of art tools are used for squiggly lines, circles, squares, and even spray paint. An eraser corrects any mistakes and a palette of colors may be used to add pizzazz to a circular blob shape. After starting the game, the gal protagonist is shown in her pastel colored house where she may sleep, check her schedule on the PC, or exit the home to visit with friends or explore the quaint town. There's an art supply shop that she may visit (but not buy anything yet), a pet shop, an art gallery, a movie theater, and other businesses. Time moves along as the heroine explores and interacts with citizens around town. Eventually, night time arrives and all of the businesses will close, forcing her to return home for bedtime. Japanese language comprehension is a must for this particular title. We would not recommend purchasing this game if you cannot read Japanese. Also known as Manga-ka Debut Monogatari DS: Akogare! Manga Ka Ikusei Game. View the back cover and screenshots on the main NCS site. Jan Code: 4988026816651 This document is ©NCSX 2005. All rights reserved.
