Muahaha *evil laugh* but of course, my fans and readers know that I’m unpredictable, so who knows. Spoiler Alert! It would be a tear-jerking ending.
Since Episode 1, I’ve already had in my mind the perfect ending of Oh My Ghost.
Your series is already up to 700+ strips.I’ve always dreamt of making my passion for comics my actual job, and with crowdfunding, I was hoping it will fulfill my dream. So I decided to try self-publishing instead and hope to gain experience as a comic artist. But I started to lose hope and I feel that I’m not growing anymore and it felt stagnant. Lots of creators are tired of giving away their best ideas to companies and I’ve been a Webtoon Canvas Creator for 5 years and hoping to become one of the Webtoon Originals. I decided to go with crowdfunding for Oh My Ghost because it is similar to the interview with Rick Lopez ( The Power ). Why did you decide to go with crowdfunding for the project?
Also, my mind is full of stories, that’s why my series ended up having 700+ episodes.ĥ. Sometimes my stories are based on real-life experiences. When you walk to a mall and you see a scenario. Like when you watch a movie/series then you ask yourself “What if the ending is like this?” or “What if the characters are like that?” or when you listen to music you can relate to. I think all of them are easy to make, as long as you have an inspiration or an idea. Then if I get tired of comedy scenes, I will create an action and fighting episode. If I get tired of wholesome romance scenes, I will create a comedy episode. To be honest, it really depends on my mood and inspiration. Your stories have featured both comedy and fight scenes.Can’t spoil it, better to read season 6 (Season 6 starts at episode 343). Most of my fans and readers didn’t expect who the villain was. The Villain’s character was influenced by Kira Yoshikage from Jojo Bizarre Adventure, Patrick Bateman from American Psycho, and the song “Polly” by Nirvana. I actually did a lot of research about psychopathy and some real crime cases about murder since the main villain of season 6 has the fetish to kill beautiful high school girls. The tone of the story becomes darker since there’s a mystery, and murder theme involved. I like the season 1 storyline because it has a romantic comedy theme, but my favorite is season 6. What is the favorite storyline you have written for the series?.Since we were poor we couldn’t afford to buy western comics. I still remember when I was 5 years old, every day at 5 pm, I would peek into my neighbor’s window just to watch anime since my family was very poor and we lived in a slum area here in the Philippines. Yeah, you can clearly tell that I was influenced by Anime. Just think of my series as like Dragon Ball becoming Dragon Ball Z and Jojo’s Hamon becoming Jojo’s Stand. There’s been a shift of genre since season 5, since I like to try action scenes and improve my story as well. Later on, in season 5 and especially in season 6, most of my story was inspired by Bleach and Jojo Bizarre Adventure, Hunter x Hunter, and Gintama. The early seasons of Oh My Ghost were inspired by the series of 90’s – 2000’s anime era, like Chobits, Sailor Moon, Ranma ½, Dragon Ball Z, Card Captor Sakura, and Revolutionary Girl Utena. What series influenced you to create Oh My Ghost ?.Yup, you heard it right, this Ghost can eat because logic is useless in my series.īy the way, Oh My Ghost already has 7 seasons and 700+ episodes. Also, Maya loves to eat and her favorites are ice cream and cake. So he decides to rent a very cheap haunted house where he will meet Maya, the ghost, who has no memories of her past and who is afraid of scary stuff, including ghosts. Oh My Ghost is a webtoon or webcomic series about the story of Loi who is broke and desperate to find a place to stay. For those who have never read your series before, what is Oh My Ghost about?.GhostMaya was kind enough to sit down and tell Monkeys Fighting Robots a little about the project.
Now the series creator, GhostMaya has launched a Kickstarter to offer the first physical collection of the comics. The highly-rated series features the story of Loi, a boy who finds out his new home is haunted by Maya, a ghost with a penchant for snacking. Oh My Ghost is a comic from Web Toons with over 48,000 subscribers.
