Hey everyone!
I’m the author of a web novel currently in development, and I’m looking for an artist collaborator to help me adapt the first three chapters into a manga-style one-shot (approx. 25–30 pages).
Synopsis:
Minato is a second-year high schooler and a talented left-back who struggles with deep self-doubt and a "Nonchalant" mask. He thinks he’s a nobody until Emi—a world-famous idol from the group Stars—transfers to his class and sits right next to his desk.
It’s a story about the contrast between their worlds: his cramped apartment and sweat-stained soccer practices vs. her flashing lights and massive estate.
What I have ready:
3 Full Chapters: Roughly 4,500 words of content covering their meeting, a walk home, and the social fallout at school.
Character Profiles: Clear descriptions of Minato (brown mullet, stoic, athletic) and Emi (ethereal light-blue hair, professional "idol" smile).
Scripting: Im working on it (Almost Done)
What I’m looking for:
Since this is currently an unpaid passion project, I’m looking for an artist who wants to build their portfolio or practice their sequential storytelling. I’m specifically looking for someone who enjoys:
Slice-of-life/High school aesthetics.
Drawing sports action (soccer).
Genre Drama, Romance, Sports, School Life.
Expressive character acting (contrasting Minato's "poker face" with Emi's "idol energy").
Goal:
I’d love to complete a 25–30 page one-shot to help promote the novel and potentially enter it into contests or post it on platforms like MangaDex or Webtoon Canvas.
If you're interested in the "gloomy athlete x shining idol" dynamic, please drop a comment or DM me with some of your art samples!.

Notice:The thumbnail art is AI so that it not the actual design for The Character Emi
I hope to hear Back

Why would you think about art when you barely have written 4K words? Without meaning to be offensive, but your writing needs way more polishing to be readable.
