企画紹介文(日本語)
私は現在、「ヒッポジン(Hippo Jin)」というオリジナルストーリーをマンガ/コミック形式で制作しようとしています。この作品は、国境や言語の壁を越えて世界とつながる新しい日本人――“ヒッポジン”――の誕生を描く感動的な物語です。 試作として添付のイラスト(4コマ)をご覧いただければ、作品の雰囲気や方向性をご理解いただけるかと思います。主人公のヒカリは、閉鎖的な日本社会の中で、言語と文化の多様性に触れることで自分自身を再発見していきます。 この構想を本格的なマンガ作品として世に出すために、経験豊かなマンガ家・作画家・編集者・出版社の方々と繋がりたいと考えています。もしご興味がありましたら、ぜひご連絡いただけますと幸いです。 「ヒッポジン」は、世界に開かれた日本人の新しい姿を描くことで、読者に新しい価値観と希望を届けたいと願っています。 どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。
