The moment that international manga fans were waiting for has finally arrived… The three manga drawn by the SMA MasterClass and published by the ZENON Editorial Department are finally available FOR FREE for your enjoinment!   A limited initiative for the SMA MasterClass organized by the ZENON Editorial Dept., the ZENON Creator Audition allowed three MasterClass members to debut in Japan by reimagining a “name” (pages draft) provided by professional manga artists in their original way. The experience helped the selected international creators Sideburn004 (Russia), Dedy Koerniawan (Indonesia), and Alex Irzaqi (Indonesia) to also fully experience the professional environment of the Japanese manga industry and its strict deadlines!
