Hi, i'd like to present you my manga, Soul Dreamer.
I started a blog called how to draw mangas which is related to "how to draw manga" and i decided to start publishing my manga.

Here are the first two chapters:
http://howtodrawmangas.com/post/32253256810/soul-dreamer-manga-1
http://howtodrawmangas.com/post/36802324395/soul-dreamer-manga-2

I'd like to ask you guys if it's possible to list it here in manga updates, as it's more possible that people will read it there, rather in my blog that it has low visibility. 😛

story
The background of the story takes place in our world. The protagonists are chosen by a mediator and they obtain the mark of the souldreamer. The mark gives them the ability to travel in a parallel dream world, where they fight nightmares.

I question your choice of dialogue font... And try proper spelling and grammar. D: Like... type out your sentences in Microsoft Word first and then transfer those to your pages..... If you want. Just a suggestion from a passerby.

Also, from what I can tell, the MU superiors prefer published (print and web (web meaning the chapters are released at a constant rate or something; they are complete chapters)) mangas/comics to keep in the database.... Or something like that. But I could be wrong; if you really want to know a definitive answer, try PMing lambchopsil (that is, unless you have already received word that you can't have your series in the MU database).

Thanks for your comments guys. I know that the chapters are really short, but manga is my hobby. I work a lot of hours in my primary job, so it's hard to make larger chapters. I try my best though!

@Ncf
thanks for your comments. I'll try and make them bigger from now on.

@Pikapu
MU publish scanlations which are translated. Mine isn't so i don't validate.

You have absolutely right about the fonts and grammar. I'm not a native speaker, so it's hard for me to write english as it's not my primary language. I'll probably hire a proof reader for the next one.

Keep up the good work!

It's pretty good, a little choppy and if I may say so without offending you abrupt in its transitions from scene to scene. Besides that though from the little plot seen so far it could be rather interesting. I'll definitely continue reading.

On another note, I've always wanted to try my hand at proofreading manga.

You definitely have potential 😃
I haven't actually figured out the plot yet but just by looking at the artwork (yes, I love beautiful artwork~) I'd say that it's very clean, and that the layout is nice.
I don't know if this is intentional, though, but on the first chapter/issue/release the character says, "What happened? I think I passed away" I kind of LOL'ed at that...judging on the standard that I think you meant to put "passed out." As someone already mentioned, the dialogue is a little awkward and if you intentionally wrote it like that, I think you should use the word "died" instead..."passed away" is like a formal euphemism-ish.

Keep forgetting to comment on this.

OP:
You have potential. Some of the scene transitions feel a little jarring to me (like one scene he's "dreaming", but then, he's "awake") but that's as much crit as you'll get from me. I'm surprised that you're doing it this way instead of hosting the manga on something like Drunk Duck or Smack Jeeves. I posted my own online manga over there, however, looking at Batoto, it doesn't seem like a bad place to re-start anything (for me, at least).

Good luck!! 😀
