Template:Anime and manga Template:Nihongo is a Japanese manga dōjin group. It was active from 1962[1] to 2016.[2] The official name of the group is Template:Nihongo. The representative of the group is Osaka-born Yoshiaki Baba, who established the group while in junior high school.[1] Many professional mangaka have participated in the group despite it being an amateur group.
Main activities
Their primary activity involved a standard system which involved a member submitting their original work to the group where they received critique from volunteer members which was then published in the group's bulletin.
While the group generally did not attend dōjinshi conventions, they did exhibit original drawings and announce works for a variety of formats including kashi-hon, dōjinshi, and traditional commercial formats which drew criticism for being too commercial. However, they retained high standards for their original work and continued simpler activities such as sharing Template:Nihongo—original hand-drawn work in a sketchbook or notepad—until the 1980s. They believed this would result in higher quality work through members showing their techniques, such as their linework, with other members.
Some members went on to become professional manga artists such as Yuki Hijiri whose Locke the Superman was first published for members of the Sakuga Group in 1967 and later serialized in Shōnen King. Group membership exceeded 1,000 in the 1980s as fans joined.[3]
