- Hey y’all, I’m tired of this guy so I used clips from mainly the video where he critiqued if that’s what you guys wanna call it, black blaze, utterly disregarded my narrative and made attacks and insults on me and tried to play himself as the victim and I wanted to point out that his audience are silly to keep buying into the things that he says, and does when it comes to the creation of comics, and/or manga or in his dumbass case MANAA
Because he’s a fraud and a grifter who will slander and tear down any number of creators no matter how big or small to build himself and his brand up and he needs to be stopped or at the very least reality checked
So hopefully the video is entertaining, funny and informative for you guys

Both of you need to keep working on your craft because you both have a long way to go. I strongly recommend using reference material. For both story and art.
Koffee would probably see using references as tracing. 😂
@EATHER2468 real
I stopped watching that dude after he basically said every manga should look like dragon ball with extremely muscular characters, like you can't make any other body type for a male character in your manga no matter what or its weak/feminine etc. which is kind of a contradiction cause one of the people he's associated with literally has an MC with real feminine traits in his manga and he never said a damn thing about that person, I'm not gonna namedrop. I also remember when he made a rant video on Dragon Ball Daima putting it under fire based on a MERE teaser trailer back when we knew way less about it, judging it like it was a full fledged product which was real odd to me as someone of the type to judge something as an actual finished product.
Goku is a warmonger and a terrible father twice over.
yet he influenced thousands of mangaka
@@youneedsomethinigotyou1028You don't have to make something good for it to be influential. Most of the things Dragon Ball inspired are superior compared to it.
yeah, I remember that when he said everyone looks like a kpop "Twink."
@@youneedsomethinigotyou1028 what does that have to do with it? ah yes because dragon ball is a big inspiration to so many manga, that means everyone has to have the same bulky and brolic characters. How did one piece and naruto ever make it when both of their MCs aren't built like yujiro hanma?!
I always found his approach to reviews and "advice" weird when looking at how he writes in comparison. Its like listening to Micheal Bay trying to critique Reservoir Dogs
😂😂😂 this one of my new favorite comments 💯💯💯
Last note I swear... Unless you are working for them, don't be bothered by people who are trying to enforce their standards on your work. Your work is your work and will stand on its own. Make it how you want and if it's great others will see it and share it.
📠 indeed bro indeed 💯💯
Thank you for talking about this. I remember when I saw his channel and I thought he was overly negative and he didn't give any "real" criticism. He never wanted to build us (American mangakas) up and instead wanted to tell us why we "can't make it" or "aren't good enough". Overall useless content IMO
Also I fw your energy, you ain't pulling 0 mf punches and I'm here for it 😂
This is like watching the last two brain cells fight for third place 💀💀
What I do to you brodie 😂😂
…and yet you watched it. 😂
For some it’s going to be less about what you did to them and more about how you portrayed their leader (Koffee Pot). I try to avoid drama, but you have the right to defend yourself….You aren’t the one who started this, from all we know, so Koffee and his Kreamers are going to have to just be mad on this one. 😂
This shit is hilarious @@RodneyKing-kz3ym
That might be an issue with your IQ buddy
Koffee comics just talks down to the people he critiques through their own works. Calling them rip offs of big dark shounen like JJK and CSM when the irony is just when his own works bites off a lot of things he holds dear like Berserk and Dragon Ball, without understanding what made them special to begin with (for the most part). This is coming from someone who wants to tell my own story for a key audience who i know will enjoy this and will get something out of it. Koffee Comics is one of the very last people I want to hear when it comes to giving feedback to on how to tell stories, let alone, his "standards" for manga or indie projects. He is such a hypocrite. And i am glad i am not the only one who feels that way about him (as a content creator).
yeah he been a clown
100% koffee deserves to hear all this but bro u dont need to come at him with stuff like "dirty african". He's a piece of shit but i just wonder a bit about how that type of thing throws other ppl under the bus
I understand but people are gettinf tired of holding their tongue with Tinos, wytes, and African/Caribbean groups and their anti-AA mentality. It’s why so many AA’s are becoming more increasingly anti-immigrant and radically more anti-poc. I get it. I feel the same way a bit. If you are constantly being attacked negatively and the groups doing it mostly agree you will get the lion claws out too. It’s only fair.
HE'S AN ANTI-AFRICAN XENOPHOBIC AMERICAN.
Bro said “Wet Willy Swords” 😂😂😂
By the way I find this funny he complains about your characters having the same Body type but yeah half of his Female characters also have the same Body types
Them hoes look like bbl bandits😂😂
@@SINVERSE137 lol 😆 😂 dude, But I do have 2 things to say. First you know coffee or It's cool we're gonna see this and make a video about it so be prepared for that. And Your art needs some improvement and don't be afraid to accept real criticism.
It seems koffee gets all his talking points and "philosophy" from UA-cam. The internet was South Africas pandoras box.
Algo sent me here, but lowkey i agree. I've peeped his stuff and the dude is such a hater.
"Your work... is passable, the work is good but something is off. I think he is tracing..." I have no models to compare the work to that prove my accusations. I have no other references that directly show the poses you are using. I am using my "professional" judgement and I think they are all the same. Although the perspectives and sizes are all completely different. They are all somehow the same. They can't look the same because they are drawn in the same style by the same person. Nope. They must be the same because they are all copied from the same source. Bruh. Really?
I believe that working on perspective despit weather your a beginner or not perspective is key
And references and take from your favorite artist steal from them everyone steals from everyone
There's a way to critique someone without the hate in your speech. You can be a better person.
We should forward this comment to the guy running for President. He needs to hear this perhaps more than anyone. In all seriousness, bro got dragged and is justified in defending himself. Trying to shame someone for standing up to a bully seems like energy placed in the wrong direction.
@@RodneyKing-kz3ym The thing is he is insulting Africansl. Koffee is the one who he has a problem with. I am African, and I didn't appreciate some of the points he made against us. He was using stereotypes even though he would probably would complain if stereotypes were used against him.
Koffee talks bad about Africans living in America, “black” Americans, all the time. I cannot speak for the guy but I think he was going tic for tac with him and giving him back his own energy. The way that was done was wrong. You are correct, it wasn’t appropriate to do that.
I have a great deal of respect for Africans and I am sorry the video was offensive to you, for that reason.
Like I’ve said to everybody that has checked me about that. I truly apologize. It was a unstructured rent video so things might have gotten a little off the rails, but every comment that I said about anything African related, it was all to be directed solely at coffee, but once again as I’ve stated numerous times to anybody that has had an issue with it in my comment section, I truly sincerely apologize. It was not my intention to insult, all Africans just him💯💯💯
@RodneyKing-kz3ym I never heard of that person, and I probably will never watch his content. But at the end of the day.
To be honest both of y'all artwork is terrible.
Ong and they both got horrible digital footprints with these videos 😂
Bruh be fr im doper links to both of my comics are in my description and see for yourself
Na both of their aren't is alright, Plus The immense there is being used for coffee's comics is outdated he redrew it
Ikr their arts are terrible
@@alanmoon2448you get a participation star ⭐️ there ya go you earned this bud😊
Using a model and tracing is completely fine. There's nothing wrong with working like that at all. As long as the concept arts and characters are yours, and not by others, you can freely do whatever you want with your work.
How right you are but me personally I prefer to take the longer road of practicing and using references or getting my anatomy game up to produce a drawing solely from my imagination and own abilities that have been owned. That’s why I felt so offended that he would lie on me to so many because I have never in my life used a 3-D model and I never will
Just started a youtube to promote my manga. I got tired of seeing these guys talking all negative. Only art and comic production on my page.
Im also works on webcomic with friend im lose for paying some to help with my comic cuz its bin a whlie
@@tylermorgan5230 Are you saying you need help on it?
@@WolvyDraws yeah thats what im saying
watching this while finishing up my manga to vizmedia🙂
What the manga?
Viz wants pro’s. It’s not a flex to send works to viz anymore
@@dark_nightwing_xl2797 uh i think i'm a pro sir
@@musaabMK where can I read your works then?
Drawing characters in anatomically incorrect ways isnt necessarily a problem onepiece for example draws all charcters in a very stylized way.However the author of one piece clearly understands anatomy and how to draw fights,so drawing anatomy weirdly isn't necessarily wrongif you understand anatomy well enough
You are not wrong in saying this, but there is a difference between a stylistic choice and a lack of understanding.
Things like scale, proportions, consistency and perspective will show who is making stylistic choices versus who may be lacking in skill or understanding.
Koffee and Oda are not in the same consideration.
More like koffee isn’t even in the same universe as oda
@@RodneyKing-kz3ym yeah that's why I said someone who understands anatomy well enough
@@SINVERSE137 well I know that for sure
Yea but Oda does it intentionally koffee doesn’t. Oda takes things anatomically impossible and presents them in the way it would look if anatomically possible. Koffee doesn’t he presents anatomically possible things in anatomically impossible way…there is a difference
Koffee Comics can put out some genuine criticism from time to time, but it's more likely that aliens will arrive on earth than him doing that tbh. Koffee doesn't do constructive criticism, he attacks people AS well as their art which is disrespectful and rude as heck. He is not helping the indie comic or manga scene at all. He just unnecessarily talks down to people while making the same mistakes as them yet presents himself as if he's a professional mangaka. You can criticize people of your level, but don't bring them down as people
Like Saturday AM is a bit questionable behind the scenes, but the dude takes things too far and he's far worse with anyone below their level. I don't think you and many others deserve this from him. The man sometimes brings up old art from an artist and act like they haven't improved one bit too on occasion. He's just not a good figure in the community
Not sure why you bothered to lower yourself like this...Koffee has a habit of trying to chip at people doing better than him to make himself feel like the world is unfairly turning their back on his art.
That said, your African comments were out of pocket...we're better than that...and the veiled threats were unnecessary...Him calling you a hunchback or whatever means nothing since it's all internet BS.
Anyway, keep making moves and keep growing your craft. ✊🏿
I wouldn’t include an entire people when dealing with one person. But the energy was reciprocated, as Koffee takes shot at Americans and ESPECIALLY “black” Americans all the time.
I don’t think it was a veiled threat, as he said he wasn’t talking about fighting. Koffee likes to liken himself to some form of “warrior”, and puts others down as if they are frail or not “man enough”. So…he showed how he participated in “manly” activities as not to be claimed to be a “gooey bear hunchback”.
@@RodneyKing-kz3ymhey man you’re right about the African thing but I promise my intentions were to direct vitriol back on him and no one else but due to me ranting, the video wasn’t structured which left room for error because it wasn’t structured I’ll try do better next time 💯💯
I feel where you’re coming from bro, and I understand your view. Even the fact that you clarified to people that this wasn’t an edited video and there may be something you needed to reword or correct is respectable. You’re showing more respect than he does for his own people. He’s said some nasty things about them.
I get you bro. I don’t take issue with you defending yourself. I try to avoid drama, but this was a good breakdown and overall funny af 😂. Some of the same people trying to shame you, I wonder if they ever gave that energy to Koffee? 🤷♂️
@@RodneyKing-kz3ym My comment vanished so I'll just repost to clarify.
I get the reciprocated energy but Koffee not worth him dirtying himself with the same nonsense. The veiled threat was the "watch the video and be honest...I could fold you, right? And I could fold you in front your fam..." comments.
I understand the attacks on your ability and whatnot and the BS about folks being built a way but don't let fools muddy your craft by lowering yourself to their level, in both martial arts and artistry. ✊🏿
@@SINVERSE137 I get that it was off the cuff...and it's easier to let the initial outrage kick up...
Thank you Japan for inspiring black young niggas 😂😂😂 the future is bright for us
This is the drama that keeps me addicted to UA-cam 😂😂😂 two young niggas crashin out
I didn’t crash out. I proved that that guy should not be someone that people in this space listen to for help or knowledge of how to produce comics in manga. Should be going to for information because all he does is spread misinformation half ass information and negativity just to build himself up.
Of course 2024 Americans draw Manga style. It’s what we grew up with.
Both japanese and american designs
I think that managa ingredients list is really unhelpful in assessing what maked a story good;
it doesnt have to be familiar to be good something that your not accustomed to seeing can be good.
you dont have to relate to a character for them to be well written feeling empaty sympathy or understanding doesn't need relatablity, it doesnt have to be hopful either good narratives can still envoke dispear (a little ironic because he likes berzerk)
The only one i some what agree with is the last one, but even then, getting caught up on inspiring people rather than expressing what you want to express can be unhelpful.
I dont think these things are necessarily bad but acting like its the be all end all isnt helpful and doent allow for more open minded approaches when it comes to art and maybe that checklist mindest is the reason koffee acts how he does towards media😪
Yeah hopefully this video will EVENTUALLY give him the reality check and wake up call he desperately needs
Ehh, his art is average for self-publishing indie. I'm fine with average if the story is good, but I never read it so I can't judge. I consider Blindsprings, Devil Candy, and Daughter of the Lilies on the high end of indie self-publishing.
My sister and I found his African Comic video hilarious. He had a point. If you draw black comics and most of your base is white, are you really making black comics for black people? Or is it just a comic for everyone with a black protagonist?
He probably should have hand lettered his spell font or make his own font. He has a tablet and a scanner. Not hard too to do.
How would you know most of your base is white, unless you were collecting that data during transactions?
If he lives in Africa, it would make sense that a significant number of his customers would be Africans (melanated), unless he deliberately targeted white consumers. Which then would beg the question…why?
@@RodneyKing-kz3ym He probably is, remember we are apart of a global market. If he gets a sale from a Wyatt Smith in the U.S, it is unlikely the guy is an African. Koffee said in the comment section of his video, he receives most of his sales from western whites. Why? He lives in a 3rd world country. His books are too expensive for people in his country. The average South African is not going to spend his spare income on Indie comics. According to him they would rather spend it on alcohol or cooking oil. You know, more useful items, not picture books. Westerners have more disposable income to spend on books and entertainment.
Black Americans are different. We have the disposable income but make a small portion of the market. 12% of the U.S is black and a smaller percent is middle to upper class. Also your average black American might like Popular Shonen manga but that does not mean they will take the risk to buy you Indie comic that might be crap. Whites are still the spending majority in most western countries. Lil Wayne and Tyler Perry gets most of their money from Whites despite making a "black" product. You get more money that way.
@@RodneyKing-kz3ym like you said, you need to have data:
Koffee is delusional, I'm African (West part) and I only agreed with his video about the state of African comics, because the reality is the average African is not looking to get comics because it's expensive.
except if you do a story they really want to read and at low cost, and accessible online, then sure.
A lot of African read comics, Mangas, etc, on pirated site because of low availability and price...Back in the day, When Bleach was popular (around 2006-2007) I remember one volume cost 14$, graphic novel 45$. It's a lot for us, since we can use this money for transport,food,etc.
He sound like he doesn't know what he wants, on one hand, ranting about his situation in SA, on an other one, criticizing other indie comic book creators, and he doesn't even understand the indie book market.
If he was real about it, he would of simply move to a western country, it's way more easier to get an audience who is willing to pay you well and see you succeed, or, accepting his situation and find viable solutions to sell to an African audience.
He has good advice sometimes but he says a lot of weird stuff I don't agree with. He doesn't understand that different types of stories exist.
after hearing him saying to me that in the other video I said "the guy quit bc gay people💀" the animator (Steve padmore) who responded to me in the interview video who said he's not that I see the animator is a cool misguided guy and this koffee mf here comparing the woman rights and LGBTq to the al-qedas💀 like out of nowhere
☠️💀💀💀☠️☠️
Remember a few months ago when whyte's channel got hacked and this nigga koffee saying he should "start over" like bruh
HOLY SHIT DUDE, I'M ON MINUTE 8:48 AND I ALREADY LOVE THE VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you fw it gang
in my opinion, even though i haven’t watched all of koffee’s videos, i have watched some of the longer ones and i personally think that only around 5% of his opinions/points are respectable, but they just come out incredibly blunt, with the rest either being questionable or just shit. coming from an 8th grader who is pretty good at art, besides most perspectives and is planning to submit the first chapter of a manga, i did feel a bit discouraged from his standards which did make it a bit harder to script out my story. anyway, i did enjoy you shitting on him but just remember not to dip down to his level 🙏
You’re a gentleman and a scholar
The truth hurts. Most unintelligent people will get their feelings hurt because they lack the knowledge to understand what’s going on with people on social media and how the influence affects their criticism
Wait I don’t get it
Wow i didn't know there was a dark side to making comic's 😮
Every community everywhere got some dumb or silly shit happening in it
@@SINVERSE137 that is true I'm glad you keep it Real
How in the hell did he not use the invert create selection tool with the use of other layers bucket tool for clipstudiopaint to fill in his color without looking like he colored outside the lines.
In clipstudiopaint, there is also the perspective rule tool and the grid tool.
I have a feeling he's letting his past define him
Me or koffee bean 🧐
Damn I never heard of this guy. And I'm glad this video is my introduction to him. Now I don't have to give him any views
That diagoue was hilarious you can't take that seriously it should be a parody haha
lol facts
Im going lie your art is godly man respect
I wouldn’t say godly but I appreciate your positive words all the same😅💯💯
I don't like this guy too he was makeing fun of the artist of apple black
it's not godly; And there's lot of room for improvement, compared to the pros.
@@eddyalvaross2195 you’re fasho right but I’m most definitely shitting all over koffee 😂
looks like the shit i was doing in grade school, whack af but i thought it was cool : P
He'll probably make the argument that what you're critiquing is older artwork as well.
As far as I know, Koffee has re-done his 1st volume of Bloody Hell with improved artwork. I haven't read the update, but if it's anything like what he's shown in the past year as visuals for some of his videos, *it is* an improvement -- Just like what I can see in #9 of Black Blaze.
For example, From what I can see going through your comic, you're addressing the critique of the stiff posing in your more dialogue heavy scenes. They're more varied and have more personality.
It's not just about having different angles (though it helps) it's also about characters expressing what they're thinking and/or feeling through body language.
What I believe helps, is thinking of stronger, more character motivated/inspired verbs when drawing, depending on the context like:
"slouching" instead of "sitting"
"calculating" instead of "thinking"
"dismissing" instead of "ignoring"
********
The use of slang is a fair critique.
Without context clues, not everyone is going to understand right away what the characters mean when they use slang. It can take people out of it I'll give you an example.
guy1: Yo...Wagwan?
guy2: I'm cheesed.
guy1: 'Bout what?
guy2: Some random took his sweet time just to order a double double and now I'm late for my meeting.
I'm from Toronto Canada.
- Where you're from, do you say "wagwan" to say hello or ask how someone is doing? (specifically where I grew up, people also sprinkled in west indies slang)
- Do you say "cheesed" to mean that you're upset?
- Do you say "some random" to mean a person you don't know?
- Is a coffee with 2 cream and 2 sugars a "double double" where you're from?
It's totally fine if that's how the characters speak. Like you said, it helps with characterization - what I understood with Koffee pointing it out is that, for immersion's sake, it sounds out of place for aliens to use human (Detroit specific like you said) slang.
I think the remedy is that your characters have their own unique slang/terms for things or to leave it out (the Detroit slang) unless your target audience speaks like that and/or understands it.
********
The names for characters being hard to pronounce is a fair critique.
Not everyone who reads your comic has English as their 1st language...and even then, it's not a guarantee that the reader will know how to properly pronounce character names on the 1st read.
For real, I was lost too until this moment in the video where you give the proper pronunciation of some of your characters -- and I'm a native English speaker.
Yes, I *could* take the time to sound it out...but I want to enjoy reading your comic, not wrestle with it. I would argue that it's *your job* as the author to make it as clear and pleasant of an experience as you can to keep the reader engaged reading your work.
*******
Not seeing variety in character builds/proportions is a fair critique.
Though I would like the variety too for visual interest, I personally don't mind it too much because of the heavy focus on action this story has. Almost everyone is a hand to hand fighter, so I don't mind that the builds are similar to each other.
What *does* separate the characters from each other are their silhouettes and costumes, which I think you're doing a great job with.
*******
Compositions looking flat is a fair critique. When looking at your panels, there is a heavy focus on your characters and the backgrounds feel like an after thought. This makes it hard to tell where characters are in the environment and relation to one another.
For example, in #9 of Black Blaze during Magnus' flashback, the backgrounds of the destroyed city are mostly in a 1 point perspective and the characters don't really stand on the ground --- they are composed in a way where it feels like they're meant to stand apart from their surroundings and not actually be in the environment.
This stands out the most for me when Flarre is introduced. Especially on page 9 with the red outline you gave her.
Some tutorials I found helpful were:
"Putting Your Figures In Perspective Quickly by Dan Lawlis" (YT channel: how to draw comic books by Dan Lawlis)
"How To Draw Figures in Perspective" (YT channel: David Finch)
*********
Now this part isn't on you, but Global Comics.
it seems like it favours webtoon-styled formatting over traditional style....I have to zoom out the webpage so that I can properly take in your work as intended (and I think it'd look best if you can see 2 pages at a time, rather than 1). Perhaps its a personal thing, but for me, it's an inconvenience
Do you know if there are any other sites that cater more to a traditionally formatted comic book? As of right now, all I know of is comikey.com -- but it's geared to manga, and I don't think just anybody can upload.
*********
Now I know that this video is reactionary and raw for entertainment purposes, but it *does* look like it's coming from a place of weakness, not strength.
--- That because Koffee called you a hunchback....what stands out from the video is that you're hurt for being called a hunchback -- Even though you try your best to address the critiques he made of the chapter of your comic and not insult him personally or his character....you end up doing it anyways.
Am I saying you shouldn't call out someone when they're disrespectful?
No.
You should, and I applaud you for not taking it. Because, at least from what you've shown online, I wouldn't say you're a hunchback as Koffee defines it.
....to me, it's just that you don't respect him as a person, so you're not willing to receive his feedback when it comes to him critiquing your art. This is just my perspective based on your interview with him and this video.
Cuz to me, the vibe you give off is that you do enjoy the competition and you genuinely care and want to continually get better at your craft - and at the same time, help others do the same by passing on what you're learning.
I do agree. Most of Koffee's content is "rage-bate". And I agree, he goes after people like Whyt Manga and DD Mark way too much for my liking.
Though he does this, he *does* point out inconsistences, false advertising and hypocrisy in what they and others like them in the indie space are seemingly accustomed to doing when it comes to living and making a living as comicbook creators and publishers.
I admit, that one of the reasons why I got on to his content is because *I am* upset of the state of visual storytelling and how stories in the mainstream are more and more hedonistic or nihilistic in their messaging.
It *is* demoralizing because it embraces and promotes degenerate behaviour and rejects objective moral and creative standards.
And I would prefer hearing more about Koffee's progress, thoughts and development when it comes to his own and his group's projects.
I think these are fair critiques of his content. But he makes what he makes, in style that he makes it.
In his own terms, I was a hunchback *and* a zombie.
I'm late to the game compared to where you guys are at, but I would say his content, and from some in his camp *did* inspire me to stop being idle and do something about my dreams of producing comics.
And I'm inspired by your work too.
Very long comment, I know...but I care about the space and want it to be healthy for everyone -- I do hope and pray the rivalry will remain a healthy one where you're encouraged to become better and better....that you "coming for Koffee" like you said in a previous video, is you creating superior stories and artwork and better sales.
I'm not gonna read all your comment, but one point I want to talk about, you and koffee also sometimes mentions "It is demoralizing because it embraces and promotes degenerate behaviour and rejects objective moral and creative standards." which in my eyes is kinda a stupid take, like comic and manga is a free medium, everyone can create thus there is something for everyone, you cant just generalize by saying it is demoralizing it makes no sense.
@@wivyYA Yes, I should qualify what I mean in saying what's most popular and promoted.
Because you're right, not all of it is this way.
But, would you agree that the comics and manga that have been popular or have been promoted, let's say in the past 6 - 10 years, are comics that embrace objective morals and creative standards?
If so, what would be your examples?
@@StevePadmore what do you mean by that, I dont understand your question
@@wivyYA sorry for the confusion.
My question is about the messaging. The lessons and values shared in comic and manga stories....
I agree with you, people ought to have the right to make what they want.
However, because I believe that there is absolute right and wrong, not every message, not every lesson, not every value is *good*.
I believe that right now in the mainstream, there's more bad than good.
Do you believe that the comics and manga that are currently popular or promoted have good lessons for life, or bad?
@@StevePadmore Sorry for long reply, TL:DR: Shounen Manga's have a wieder audience, thus they are the most popular ones, since many people can read them, Seinen manga that have deeper meanings then just "this guy wants to destroy something I like, so I have to fight to save it" still exist, but they just have a smaller audience then shounen.
For Long: There are good ones and bad ones, but it’s not always as simple as black and white, things exist in every shade of gray. Take the classic moral dilemma of the train, five people are tied to one track, and one person is tied to another. Would you switch the train’s direction to save the five and sacrifice the one, or do nothing and let it run over the five, avoiding personal involvement? This question alone illustrates that issues aren’t always a matter of clear right or wrong.
Fiction, for the most part, isn’t created to teach moral lessons, it’s meant to entertain. There are good manga, and there are bad manga. Take Attack on Titan, for example. It delves deep into the psychology of its characters. Is Eren a villain for trying to destroy his enemies? Yes, because genocide is obviously not the ideal solution, and the story reflects this by portraying Eren in a negative light as he grapples with his choices and as the supporting character try to stop him.
Many of today’s most popular manga don’t even take place in our world. They’re often fantasy-based battle shounen series that aren’t designed to tackle real-world moral dilemmas. Criticizing these works for lacking a moral stance misses the point-they exist to provide escapism. People read them to enjoy exciting battles and take a break from the complexities of daily life. They’re looking for simple, accessible entertainment.
For those seeking deeper stories that engage with moral questions, there are plenty of Seinen manga that explore complex psychological themes. These stories dive into characters’ struggles as they wrestle with questions of right and wrong, offering more nuanced takes on ethical dilemmas.
It’s important to remember that the most popular manga tend to be shounen because they appeal to a broader audience. However, there’s still a wide variety of Seinen manga available that explore all kinds of themes, offering something for every taste.
I like your art and the energy of it, especially the recent stuff. It makes me think of Invincible and Dragonball, and how it would look if they somehow fused. I understand why you made this video, no one should have to just accept being trampled on.
I hope you have a rewarding career in comics. Do you have an online store or purely donations through global comix?
I don’t have donations yet, but each chapter of both my series can be downloaded for $.99 on globalcomix
👍👍
Koffee gave me a weird vibe when i watch a video from him.
As he gave off this
“Anti-woke, why does everything has to be political,” type of channel.
Espically after stating that representation doesn’t matter and you just need a good story.
Despite that fact that there’s a lot of amazing story that’s great because of its representing and focusing on it as it’s storytelling.
If that make scene
I don't want Koffee Comics. I want Wilkins Coffee Comics!
Honestly man I was wondering what you thought of his review of your comic And now I know. As usual coffee gives the worst disingenuous assumptions about people, What's could make people actually believe what he's saying. Although there's one thing I have to say I kind of wish you had used his more recent art instead of something that was an older art piece. Anyway do it's pretty good video and keep up the good work man
Thanks bro you’re living breathing w
@@SINVERSE137 thanks
i use CS5 and a wired mouse =) Real talk. ;)
Your roast was legendary my dude, especially about the Jimmy Neutron part, I was dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No worry about Koffee: his story and writing is trash, and he is making no efforts to improve. Only thing he have is rage-baiting like any right wing nuts out there.
Baby Tron 🎶🔥
Tron solo defeats all 🙏🏾
I’m saying. 😤
Im not gonna lie i like you and what you stand for way more then that other guy but his art is definitely better looking then yours
Cap
Like it looks good when I see you draw but as soon as you add color it looks a lot worse
@@SINVERSE137I'm telling you bro idk about art theory but from a consumer perspective no one wants to read stuff that looks like that the manga style actually sells but hey I'ma support a pro black creator either way
@@solosolo8610 Exactly. The pencils look good, but the colouring just makes the drawings look flat.
I agree with this
You don’t work at the shop anymore?
Nah
Totally off topic, but... Would you be up for doing a comic trade? I can send you examples before you decide whether you want to or not.
I’d love to see your work
Send it to my instagram it’s SINVERSE official
Thank you for making this video
My pleasure! I hate this guy’s ideology and message so much but when he came at me directly that’s when I knew enough was enough
Im currently working on my own webcomic with friend
Bro 😂😂😂😂😂😂 u Hella funny yo shit 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
lol thanks g
Nah i want read your comic cuz can tell put a lot of work in to it
Thanks links are in my description
I didn't know there was comic drama, and now I'm invested ngl 😂
Well, don’t get used to it. I don’t plan on making my channel based around nothing but meaningless drama. It’s just this idiot needed to be put in his place.
@@SINVERSE137 Nah, didn't expect your channel to be based around the drama, but maaaan you can't tell me if koffee comics aka manosphere manga make a vid on this you wont clapback--?? ya jokes in this vid funny asl, but i'm with some of the other comments where you don't have to be xenophobic like him 💯
Either way kudos for calling out that clown 😂
@@ArtsyNimbus fax…especially about the xenophobic thing 😅
He's probably gonna make a video about this😂
Aye bro, I wanna listen to your case but the constant remarks about Africans and shit is bugging me tbh, being that I'm African like ol' boy here. I'm not gonna hate on you but you making it hard to want to here you out, especially since I kinda agree with you on some points.
Somebody checked me about the African remarks earlier and once again like I said to bro my bad it was really supposed to be solely directed at coffee but because of it being an unstructured rant video it doesn’t seem that way and I apologize truly 💯💯
@@SINVERSE137 Its cool G. I get you were just talking off the cuff, at least you recognised it.👍
@@SINVERSE137Yh bro watch your mouth with that, you made a lot of good points but even for as much of a “hater” koffee is he never got this personal with insulting you, I’m Nigerian so these racist remarks ain’t cool w me bro.
@@marlondavide9343 are you kidding me right now? What was I saying that was racist? I’m black also I keep apologizing, but I’m starting to get tired of it because I wasn’t directing it at every single African that’s ever been born or existed. It’s just for coffee he has said several racist things about our own people pay attention at the beginning of the video he was peoples comic books don’t do that
@@SINVERSE137 I agree w u but bro no such thing as “our” own ppl because we share the same complexion don’t make us one group
I didn't know u had a yt! I'm subscribing!❤
Hey girl yeah I got one I been subbed to you cherry girl 🍒
W video
You a w man💯💯
You're both beginners.
I beg to differ
congratulations on your 3k views😂
from a bad artist to another, enjoy it while you can 🎉
Don’t really see why you posted this comment but I’ll give you a gold star ⭐️ too
@@SINVERSE137 thanks man! i watched your interview with koffee, i cant believe your lack of underastanding feedback 😂
i guess you earned a crown for being the king of hunchbacks 👑
Koffee Kreamers have entered the comment section. Is this a part of your “Crucible” training? 😭
And you got a gold star for being an ignorant fool who can’t see the writing on the wall you’re following behind somebody that does not care about you for real. He only wants your money and he only wants your support on his terribly drawn terribly written. “Manaa”
Also, I might add that you haven’t even gone to go and read either one of my stories and it shows because you would know I am far superior to him when it comes to composition, action scenes, fight choreography, character, writing narrative structure. Also my dialogue is much more digestible and realistic and believable than his is
Also, he has a striking lack of iconography and symbolism, which would make it a lot easier to identify his characters if he is to “”get it on the shelf
P.s it’ll be at 5000 viewers very soon silly little boy
Man this single video of yours is so much more toxic than anything koffee has shared on youtube. The hate and petty energy is just exuding off of you. Calm that ego down. Damn. Koffee at least backs up his critics and rips with some form of science and examples. You just name calling and hating without backing your stuff up. Yall miss the fact koffee is trying to push people to be better, you arent born great. You gotta work at it. If that doesnt sound good to you then you need to look in the mirror and grow up. Damn shame seeing this kind of childish behavior in the indie sphere. ManaA will def outlive whatever this content is
I ain’t gonna lie, bro. The only thing that I took from this paragraph you just sent me is the fact that you said he brings up if you’re listening to this guy for anything political, mathematically or scientifically you might need to seek professional help. Also, what does any of that have to do with all of the artists that he’s torn down and talked about and constantly uses for content for his channel, why aren’t all his videos just dedicated to what he does and his company that he’s trying to build why does he always find the need to talk about someone else and what they’re doing? I might add. Why do you even care who are you? I don’t even know you, bro.
Science? He literally claimed autism isn't real, according to his witch doctor it is all just awful luck. The clip is out there, go check it out. Along with that, the dude constantly targets the look and weight of people for no reason, just because he's mad. Kusanagi (a youtuber) won a silent manga contest, he made a video on it calling him a 600 pound clout chaser because his vids werent all manga related. He then got mad at an april fools video the same youtuber made about getting into shonen jump. He say he showed his bud in discord, and they just had a roast session on the guy for doing an April fools' prank on April fools. Besides that, he hates male k pop singer for no reason besides looking feminine or "sissies" as he says and claims that manga protagonist like deku who look like them are the problem with modern shonen. Where's the better in that? he literally names those vids rants just so he can hate for no reason besides his own personal gripes, He also turned off the comments on the Saturday am exposed vid where he called the CEO the full n-word, with the ER at the end. Your whole speech about being better and this guy being childish doesn't mean much when koffee does the same shit, other members of their studio do that shit on Twitter comments too. The other day I saw one mocking people because he could draw on his phone. I'm not defending this dude in the vid mind you, I'm simply bringing to light the fact that koffee and that whole manaa group have the same toxic attitude. If Manaa does succeed then cool, but just like SaturdayAM they're going to end up getting exposed at some point because of their digital footprint, and they're just going to act the same as Satam did, claim it's all just liars and trolls (which koffee is already doing)
its also weird how he consistently targets DDMark up until recently(FYI I don't like DDMark either), even seji has started to target him on his UA-cam and twitter which is just weird and almost to the point of stalker behavior when he replies to DDmarks fans on twitter (before he deleted it ) saying DDmark doesn't care about them
I’ve heard Koffee talk about witch doctors, but I can’t recall science. 🤔
@@uraveragejoe3883
What’s wrong with DD mark?
Did he do something wrong or?
You're lame for this and misinformed because koffee in no shape or form is the head huncho of onsol-go, they changed the name and if you really "rocked" with them like you claim then you would've known this wouldn't spread bad info. This is a pointless clout chasing vid.
Yo, shut your dumb ass up. I said nothing about rocking with onsuro go people I only know and care about one guy from there idgaf bout none of that extra shit gangy 😅😂😂
@@SINVERSE137 I can tell because you sound super emotional, over some "criticism" but my point still stands, you lame for this video and it high-key makes you look bad and desperate for whatever attention you're seeking. And this is coming from someone who's been following you for years.
you are white knighting a guy that literally lies to your face without shame just to bring his point across.
Dickriding this bad is dangerous for your health go check your esophagus🤷🏽♂️ and receive proper medical attention lil bro.
Who co-signed Koffee though? Which “head honcho” put Koffee on the team?
You are who you hang with.
Art is Subjective my g.
Can’t wolf on the art he actually CAN draw exeptionally well.
I don’t watch bruh but that “im not a black dreadhead etc” was out of pocket.
Don’t try to attack his pride bro even if he is outrageous. just leave him true words of wisdom and let them live they life and cook as you are 🔥If that’s your thing then do you but yall not artistically fighting then it’s a tad immature.
Life is short bro this could’ve been an update on your works or an animation
Fax tbh but he still had to get taught a lesson
@@Bishop_Goto i get the sentiment, but art *is* objectively good or bad.
If it weren't true, Sinverse or Koffee couldn't critique each other's art.
And they would have no real way to recognize what they're doing right, and what they're doing wrong as they become better artists.
There would be no reason to learn principles of art and design (principles grounded in reality) if "art is subjective".
What *is* subjective, is your enjoyment of the of the piece... because the art could be a technical masterpiece, yet you might not like it based on your preferences.
Sorry, it just really bothers me that this lie is always circulated through art spaces - unaware how damaging it really is when you think about it.
@@StevePadmore Art, including comic art, is both subjective and objective.
Subjectively, individuals have their own unique ways of interpreting and experiencing art, and what one person considers beautiful or meaningful may be different from another person's perspective. Art can evoke emotional, personal, and cultural reactions that vary from person to person.
Objectively, there are certain elements, techniques, and principles in art that can be evaluated and critiqued from a technical standpoint. For example, the use of color, composition, anatomy, and storytelling techniques in comic art can be assessed based on established criteria and standards.
@@Bishop_Goto 100%
@@Bishop_Goto i do think though that many don't make the distinction and it leads to a lot of confusion and delusional artists
*** Edit: so though i agree about the distinction, i still have to say Art is one thing, the person's experience with the art is another... for clarity sake
