Some western / indie publishers of Manga:

Saturday AM ( https://www.saturday-am.com/ )

Antarctic Press ( https://antarctic-press.myshopify.com/ )

> *The* western manga publisher.
> Currently in the exploratory stages of setting up an English label.
> Submissions are open and several books have been announced. However, progress on the label seems to be moving very slowly.

Didn't realize the last thread was already at page 9. Reuploading my new chapter cover a final time for fun. This is the exterior cover for chapter 6 (empty space on the top will be where the title and other details go):

In order to have this one work you gotta darken the shadows of the piece in order to make the light source of the lantern stand out. An easy way to fuck around with that is duplicating the colors in a seperate layer, add like a Multiply effect to that layer, and use a soft eraser on that layer to erase away the parts of the piece that you want brighter
And if you want this piece to work >>8072768 you gotta integrate the girl into the stained glass more. That would require some more effort but the most easiest way is just making the girls outline THICK, something like pic related. I would also axe the stain glass having the name on it and really focus in on the ribbon being where you display the title. Give more attention to the text there and enlarge the ribbon.
I think I would need to see those improvements in order to judge more properly, but if you wanna print this is a book to sell then the first one with the lantern is the easy choice cause its telling a snippet of a story that you got goin on. The second one even if you follow my advice is more of a page transition-er or chapter art. You know, bonus shit for the viewer
