Tokyo Manga tekenworkshop begeleid door Active Pro Manga Artist

Really kind staff and really relaxing experience. End result looks very professional from a very calming session, and you don't need that much drawing experience either. Had an amazing time!

The pace was perfect for me, who has never drawn manga, and I turned out a pretty decent frame. Katsuki and Machi were a super team who patiently showed us the different processes and fixed up stray lines when I stuffed up. Would highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Tokyo.

So much fun! The teacher was very patient and kind and gave great instructions. It was so neat to watch him work as well.

I did this workshop with my 12 yo daughter who enjoys drawing comics. It was a lovely introduction to manga techniques and our instructor was experienced, fun and very sweet. I really enjoyed it. And the results were excellent too!

I attended the drawing class/workshop with my 12-year-old daughter, who is a huge manga fan. Art and drawing are among her favorite pastimes, and I also really enjoy drawing. That’s why I thought this activity would surely be a lot of fun for both of us when we travel to Japan as a family (Easter break 2026), and we truly got our money’s worth—even more than that—I was overwhelmed by the course instructors’ warm and welcoming manner. They explained the drawing techniques to us in detail, provided constructive guidance on our drawing style, and consistently offered supportive and helpful guidance whenever we encountered hurdles or challenges. In short, I can only recommend this opportunity to anyone who wants to experience the insights, skills, and expertise of a real mangaka. The patience and empathy shown to you there are truly extraordinary and genuinely delightful! We felt incredibly comfortable there and still rave about the drawing lesson today whenever we talk about our trip to Japan. Because this was definitely one of the absolute highlights of our trip! The pictures we created there are now hanging in our home, and we’re very proud of them! All our love from Jeannette and Leila from Linz on the Danube/Upper Austria/Austria ♡

What a fun event. I learned many techniques. Teacher amazing artist. Very helpful

Incredible experience. My kids love art and one loves manga. We all got to draw a character of our choice and went through sketching, outlining, shading, adding tone/accents, etc. I’m terrible at art and the sensei helped me through it. There were two manga artists and one woman who helped with translation and with our art. Very well done. Highly recommend.

I absolutely loved it , it was a great experience perfect for young artists like me. The 2 young ladies were very sweet, helpful and informative. My mother is not artistic and she enjoyed it too

Absolutely loved our time with sensei!! Will go back again and again when we return to Tokyo

I took this class on March 6, having just arrived in Tokyo and still quite jet lagged, but I had a wonderful time nonetheless! Rokkaku (manga sensei) and Ai (interpreter) were an absolute delight. Rokkaku did the initial draft of the character and pose I wanted and then helped me outline, add detail, ink, and use screen tone. Ai was lovely and kept the conversation flowing between the three of us, made sure we were on schedule, and helped communicate any questions I had or if I needed help from Rokkaku. I have a bit of art experience so it really felt like a collaborative workshop where I got to learn the tools and style of manga. I would recommend this activity whether or not you have drawing experience, Rokkaku was always there to help me sketch out an idea or make suggestions when I got stuck. All in all it was a really fun way to spend the first day of a trip to Tokyo!
