An under-eleven football team that hasn't won in two seasons gets a new goalkeeper who is terrified of the ball, and every issue is one match closer to the day she stops flinching.
In the Shonen Ink look
Start with this ideaA season is a story already: the first practice in the rain, the losing streak, the one goal nobody saw coming. Put the team on the cast, whatever they play, and let each match be an issue, with the kids drawn from their photos in a look that takes them as seriously as they take it.

Write the team and the season: the sport, the scrappy underdogs or the champions defending a title, the coach, the rival. Everyone keeps it kid-safe; Teen suits an older squad.
Shonen Ink gives a match its speed lines; Silver-Age Halftone makes the goalkeeper a hero; Webtoon Colour suits the squad that reads on their phones.
The comic keeps up to eight regulars, each with a model sheet from a photo, with their parents' permission, so it's the real kids in every panel.
After each match, write what happened in the comic desk's ideas box, and it becomes the next issue. The writer reads the running story first, so the rivalry from week two still stings in the final.
Press start and the premise lands in the box of a new comic with its look already picked. Change every word, or the look, before anything is drawn.

Start with this ideaA swim team of eight kids who can barely stay in their lanes is coached by a retired diver who has never taught anyone, and every meet is an issue nobody expects them to finish.

Start with this ideaOr in any of the twenty-eight. A comic picks one look on its second step, and every panel of every issue keeps it.




Only with their parents' permission. Every photo asks you to confirm you have it for anyone in it, and an Everyone rating keeps the comic kid-safe.
Then skip it. An issue is written from the ideas you give it, so put in the matches that mattered and let the writer carry the story between them.
Download each finished issue as a narrated video with music, or as its panels in a zip with the captions, and send it to the team's parents, or share it by link.
