- Story Contributors must have at least an understanding to excellent grammar. They should also be responsible for the research of their own stories.
- Depending on a plot, Story Contributors can collaborate and come up with one solid plot.
Script Writer
- Script writers are the ones who turn the story given by the Story Contributor into a plausible manga project. Script Writers are the ones who plan each page and panel with precision using words describing each scenes carefully and vividly.
- Like Story Contributors , Script Writers must have at least an understanding to excellent grammar. They must be able to follow through the story and be able to see them in panels and pages, and be able to write them down in detail.
