The start of 2017 has seen us start work on a new manga, our first in collaboration with another organisation. This is a totally new venture for us, and we’re excited to take on the challenge!
We’re going to be working with a social enterprise called Social Ark. They have supported us to develop our #BeCreative Academy workshops, aimed encouraging and developing creativity in young people.
Social Ark has asked us to create a manga that tells their story through the mayamada universe – highlighting the work they do, what makes them special and the characters involved in founding Social Ark.
To tell this story we’ll be developing a brand new mayamada show, Super Fun Learn Time & Friends!
The show’s two hosts, Saphira and Tan, will be taking on the challenge of explaining a range of topics in a fun way.
We’re going to be providing behind the scenes story and character updates in our Patreon campaign. So if you want to know more about how we put together our stories, go check it out and support!
Over the next month, we’ll be creating more characters from the story. For now, let’s introduce you to the shows to co-hosts!
Saphira is a teacher-turned-presenter who has a passion for education and loves all things kawaii. She’s smart, switched on and loves to teach others. Which makes her a great match for her co-host…
Tanoshi – aka “Tan” – may not have the same teachers instincts as Saphira, but what he lacks in book smarts he makes up for in curiosity which is a great trait to have too. Tan definitely puts the “fun” in Super Fun Learn Time!
We can’t wait to show you more from this manga when it is shown at Social Ark’s launch event on March 29th. It’s going to be a super fun journey ^_^
