Editorial Note

Additional Information

We are looking to publish at least 1 one-shot each quarter. Successful one-shots could lead to potential serialization.

SHRINE COMICS is looking to build the diversity of its lineup, so we will be paying extra attention to those submissions which tackle a genre which SHRINE currently does not publish. eg. Traditional sports manga (Captain Tsubasa, Slam Dunk), toy battle manga (Yu-Gi-Oh!, Beyblades). This does not mean you cannot submit your battle shonen manga idea, but please note that it must really stand out to be considered.

SHRINE COMICS is a very small business and is a passion project for all those involved. If you are expecting that having your series on SHRINE COMICS will help pay the bills, this is not right for you.

While there are opportunities for payment with us, for the time being they are few and far between. By being a part of SHRINE COMICS, you will be part of a professional work environment and gain excellent work experience.

For every potential publication, SHRINE COMICS will handle the financing and distribution. We are actively working towards ensuring fair compensation for all our creators. In the interim, you would play an integral role in shaping the SHRINE COMICS brand.
