Скачать или смотреть Art of Manga: How Storytelling Pulls Readers In | Bridge Podcast

Welcome to Bridge Podcast where we explore the many journeys we take and the bridges we cross, focusing on communication as the core of how we connect, understand, and engage beyond words.
In this episode, we host Mrs. Samah Hashim Kamil, a manga artist and author, to discuss manga beyond entertainment and dive into its role as a powerful narrative medium.

We dive into how manga stories are built, discuss why manga analysis should go beyond reviewing characters or plot events and instead focus on storytelling structure, narrative design, and audience awareness. We examine how manga stories are developed from the initial idea to structured narratives, the importance of one-shot concepts, and why the first pages are critical in capturing readers’ attention.

The episode also covers the role of editors in shaping manga stories, the core elements that hold a narrative together, and how different audiences influence storytelling choices. Through manga as a case study, the discussion highlights broader communication principles and how stories function as bridges between creators and audiences
