Story/Manga Creation: Tips?

Name: Anonymous 2006-07-16 11:58

Here's the deal. In about a year when I get done with school-related stuff (and after I get plenty of drawing practice) I will start to write my own manga, Nachtsoldat.

This story has been very important to me and I've been working out the details and such for about 5 years now. Here's the main plot.

As the dust settles following WWIII, and after a series of worldwide viral outbreaks and natural disasters, right-wing Swiss businessman Reinhardt Nietzsche uses his charisma, economic power and his own private security force to take control of the weak, ineffectual remains of the UN. After gaining control, Nietzsche attempts to unite the majority of the first-world nations through both military power and a promise to defend the people within them from rebels and terror groups, as well as to gradually rebuild the world market.

What the people do not realize is that Reinhardt Nietzsche is, in fact, a harbinger of the Prince of Darkness and is the prophesized Antichrist who will take control of the planet. However, many small groups within a number of countries realize the threat that the NWUR poses to all people, and thus form the Coalition of Separatists (COS) to counter-propagandize and aggressively resist Nietzsche's growing military power.

But, the COS is not the key player in this struggle against the Antichrist. Indeed, it is Tobias Edan Lane, the estranged son of the COS war minister Jeremiah Lane, who truly holds the key to resolving this struggle. (Continued in next post)

Sounds alot like the manga Eden. Worldwide viral outbreak, chaotic political situation, 15% of world population dead and more crippled by virus, private military force overthrows UN in pursuit of power, follows religious (Christian/Gnostic) themes, explores politics/human suffering/religion/human nature, etc. The only differences i see are that there is no opposing coalition (as far as i've read, anyway, only a few small insurgent groups and renegades/fugitives), no WWIII, and there's no Anti-christ figure.
