For the past 6 months, I've been writing, constructing, drawing and producing my very own manga entitled: Tactile Therapy.

It's the story about of a group of individuals all in adulthood now, finding themselves crossing each other's paths again after an asteroid threatens humanity.

The manga has a very engrossing storyline and doesn't follow just the narrative of a single individual like Naruto or DbZ does. It does however, contain high visceral combat akin to the aforementioned titles.

The first issue is now released, and you can read it over at

It was okay. It seemed professional which I liked. But a lot of the panels were too hard for me to understand what was going on.

Thanks man. Retrospect is an amazing thing, looking back at the first few pages I can gather why some will find it hard to keep up with what's going on.

Rest assured however, I got all of the confusing stuff out of the way in the beginning so we can get to the juicy ish. All we be explained in the next issue!

The art needs work imo. It was hard to tell what was going on because the panels would just be line art for the most part. Which isn't bad but the lack of values of light and dark made it hard to see what was happening. Also it needs style, the characters are very generic and unappealing.

--------> IMO, keep studying and trying to get better. Or find an artist you have chemistry with creatively to do the art while you do the story.<-----------​

But it's really hard to judge the plot from one chapter but it sounds good.

The One-Punch Man author of the original manga, has the shittiest art ever (yours is better), but his story is awesome, so Shonen Jump publishes a redrawn version exactly the same (it's a lot of chapters behind, but both are ongoing), but with an extremely talented artist. It goes to show, if the story is amazing, you can still do well, bro.

Just some advice though, make sure the character designs of the main characters are awesome.

You just put me on to something I knew nothing about. Now I got some homework to do on this guy and his craft!

Oh and the main cast is probably the best thing about this little story. I shall try not to disappoint

Wow that was quite an abrupt ending.

I'm predicting that the Russians misinterpreted the falling asteroids with missiles. Now the U.S is going to have to convey that there aren't any malice intentions. Can they do this in time?

It's weird that there wasn't any

with Russians in the first place.

I like the direction of this story; it's a mix of sci-fi and political drama with a lethal dose of tactile therapy.

The anecdote about 1.1 million TNT, is that a reference to the explosive power of a thermonuclear bomb?

Nice, wish you the best of luck!

Some things:

I think the grey on the cover was a bit dark, it should also have halftone on it. You could do a white stroke + glow combo around the black guy to distinguish it further from the background.

Anime Ace 2.0 BB is a good general dialogue font. Also, any text over drawings should have a 2-4px white stroke.

All the best. :)

Thanks agent, you're pretty close at figuring out what's going on but the real truth as to why thenrussians declared war is 100x more interesting, but good guess!

And u know what, there's a coffee scene coming up in 2 issues so I'll definitely do you that favor pal!

I too wondered why both nations aren't working together but it will be revealed as to why they aren't next chapter. Stay tuned man
