MAGIC International Manga Contest has attracted, in 7 years, nearly 500 authors of more than 50 nationalities from the 5 continents.

Exceptional competitions

MAGIC International Manga Contest is the only contest in the world created and produced in partnership with SHUEISHA (Shonen Jump), the Japanese publishing house, which owned the greatest successes such as Naruto, Dragon Ball or even the epic One Piece.

Each year, Shonen Jump’s chief-editors come to Magic, along with a Mangaka, as Jury members, to discover the upcoming stars of the discipline.

This competition offers to the winner, the one and only opportunity to see their project published on the Shônen Jump Plus next to legendary pieces of work.

On top of everything, Shibuya Productions offers the winner a trip to Japan, introduces him or her to a publisher likely to sign him or her and allows him or her to spend time with the greatest Japanese Mangakas.

A beautiful way to gather valuable pieces of advice for the rest of his or her career.
