As mentioned the other day I’ve decided to try to think up a new comic idea a day, every day for the foreseeable future. The criteria is as follows:
- The idea must be vaguely unique to ones you have created before.
- The idea must be in the form of an elevator pitch of one to two paragraphs of three lines each minimum and five lines each maximum.
- The idea must fit one of three genres that you have pre-chosen.
- It must have a name.
So with that in mind here is idea number three:
Tackle Bag XV
At a Tohoku high school destiny calls for young Atsuki Toyama a small but at times vicious and aloof tomgirl of a delinquent who has been given up on by most of her peers and teaching staff. Enter David Evans a freshly minted English graduate and qualified Rugby coach something which the High School principal wastes no time in tapping him to launch the school’s first female rugby team and Evans sees great potential in Toyama.
Tackle bag XV consists of hard knocks, tough choices and even laughs where Toyama and her team mates realise that it isn’t just a case of personal improvement but of dedication and sacrifice for the cause. Along the way the ragtag 15 face incredible challenges which will require some serious fronting up to surmount.
A few interesting questions here pop up:
- Classic battle manga idea. Bunch of idiots who train themselves up into the very best or die trying. Question is will this be interesting to the reader.
- Gumshield 21 made American Football interesting. Can Tackle Bag XV do the same?
- Why Japan?
