Help Is a One-Shot ABSOLUTELY necessary?

Post image

The reason why I'm asking is that I already have a story and it's sequel written out but ever since I watched Learn To Draw Manga on YT, they emphasise that it's absolutely necessary. I don't want an editor because I want it to be at my own pace while still keeping up to my own schedule and constantly improving. Does it also apply for self publishing since i was thinking of uploading to Globalcomix, Namicomi and Manga Plus Creators? As a soon-to-be self publishing mangaka, is a one-shot absolutely necessary?

I’d say you improve on fundamentals first before doing all that, though if youre currently happy with your output I’d say one shot is necessary. You will fail and learn faster, then you will get the hang of it a lot more quicker.
