A new manga I am solo-ing that reflects how people treat those whom they do not understand.
They fear ignorance and change.
V is an acronym for Version
Wild..is just...Wild
What people would call "normal" depends on their living environment and the people that surround them. But if someone is different...if someone stands out, would they be seen as a savage?
"The humans will forever rule the day. At night, they shall hide with no opposition. But their habit of avoiding us is the greatest resistance of all...They are the ones who are able to see the light of day, because we are the ones who open our eyes in the shadows of the night..They have never seen the full moon. And we have never seen the sunlight. We fear one another. They call us'...'savages.' We have yet to understand what they fear in us.
They fear what they cannot see...we are known as, those who are 'WILD'" -taken from my written novel of V. Wild
The "wild" are half human-half animal creatures. They look mostly human except for their ears, and possibly a tail. They possess supernatural abilities that exceed those of a human's. They use these abilities to defeat creatures that lurk in the shadows at night, which feast on human souls. They have never experienced the sensation of sunlight. Therefore they are afraid of bright lights and their eyes are accustomed to dimly lit back alleys. For those who do wander during the day, they must hide all evidence of being different from the humans...

I believe that this will have a lot better outcome as opposed to my fail attempt at Demon Forme (which was also originally drawn traditionally without the proper resources=extremely time consuming).
The process from Demon Forme to V. Wild: I've read way too many demon versus high schooler kind of mangas, which is why I had a hard time even developing a plot for Demon Forme (But don't get me wrong, some of these kind of mangas are very wonderfully carried out). Ultimately, I gave up on Demon Forme because my characters were based on my real friends BUT there was an extreme lack of negotiation after we were all separated due to the different high schools. I also did not know where exactly to start, considering there was no real theme of the story. All that was on my mind was, "Okay lets just get to the part where they fight giant demons already." But how could I get to that part when I don't even know where to start? Okay. Highschool..now what? Okay. Lets make two opposing organizations. But what are they fighting for/against? The setting and plot seemed overused. It was time to just trash the idea altogether. Characters were much too complicated and somewhat biased. There was always that blonde haired blue eyed protagonist who is much too OP. And all his friends seem to be not-so-important characters. At one point in time, I even felt that the main character was just like the total opposite of Cloud Strife, just that now he has a claw. What really made me scrap this idea was the experience of sitting in a car as it drove home at night. I noticed a lot of dimly lit alleys and it seemed so mysterious compared to the daytime, which is so lively. What lies ahead in the alley? Is someone or something lurking in there? Or is it just my imagination? Thus V. Wild was born. A short, odd name that makes people wonder what the heck does V. even mean? Why are there animal people? The setting seems so...dark, where is everyone?
