Akira Toriyama and Shonen Jump were massive influences on Saturday AM. Here's a wonderful fanart of Arale by our incredible artist,
@JeyOdin
, creator of our hit series HAMMER.
If you've not read DR. SLUMP or watched the anime -- you should. One of Toriyama's earliest hits!
RIP - AKIRA TORIYAMA!

CLOCK STRIKER IS A GLOBAL HIT! For years we were attacked for calling our work manga & fighting to have black main characters. We won that fight. We have new ones. We’ll win those too!
Kids this is what critique looks like — this person ACTUALLY read the books and/ or studied them - offers some positives and some commentary on things they may not have been as positive about while always demonstrating respect for the effort. Good stuff!
I'm getting into SATURDAY AM's books...the premise behind their publishing scheme is great; they serialize online like Shonen Jump, and publish tanks when they have enough, with an eye to diversity of creators and content.
Books are high quality in terms of creative talent.
SATURDAY AM 163 IS HERE!

Yes. Very shameful and we appreciate you helping to expose it. Manga deserves better than to have racists using it as their hub. That’s why we’re doing our small part to bring more perspectives to it as fans, creators, and characters!
Racist weebs when they see ppl having fun with Black edits: Stop blackwashing characters and make your own original Black characters!
Racist weebs when someone makes an original manga with a Black protag: It's not a REAL manga! The character is tokenized! Why does race matter??
Ahhh!! Shonen Manga's 1st Black Female Lead hero. It's been a bit of a struggle as we're still a small company but the fact that this series CONTINUES TO DRAW AN AUDIENCE even though it's publication is infrequent is high praise indeed. We're working on a permanent solution soon!

@saturday_am
of which Whyt is a co-founder. BIG THINGS coming...stay tuned! BUY Vol 1 - 4!!
Insane. Racism is a full time job. This clown is tries to claim they are actually Asian but spending a lot of time worried about Europe and black manga fans?? Would love to see the media actually take an interest in manga fandom’s diversity & the racist vocal minority harassers.
This is atrocious and our APPLE BLACK Vol 2 series by
@WhytManga
doesn’t deserve this (nor did CLOCK STRIKER before it) but it shows how racists are trying desperately to CLAIM manga for themselves. They are not anti-woke as much as they are champions of white supremacy. Blocked

For a decade, we’ve been attacked by bigots, trolls, & jealousy where they dislike anything not by them. We’ve always believed diverse manga could exist & thrive. Our fans, stores, libraries & industry have shown us love. Thank you all. We ain’t stopping - many more to come!
Now this is a pleasant surprise. The next time someone screams about black people creating or appearing in manga - hope they save that energy for non-Asian people playing Asian roles. No issue with diverse voices but can’t criticize one & not the other. Representation matters.
A global casting call for Asian & Indigenous actors in their 20s is going out to find the adult voices of the Gaang in Avatar Studios' animated universe premiering in 2025!
Dante Basco has already been cast as the voice of adult Zuko, reprising his role of young Zuko from 2005!
