2.He or she needs to develop interesting characters both interesting looking physically and as character...
3.He needs to make a good story, an interesting one...
4.He doesn't need to make deja-vu or repeat what other had drawn, and when he or she did, it needs to be modified...
5.He or she needs to make a good love story in manga, so it will be interesting, but not a stereotypical love, especially not between boring characters(aka Fred and Daphney from Scoobydoo, but their not manga, just firs I can remember)
6.He needs to put more time for interesting characters, than for boring stereotypical ones...
7.He need always to keep us wanting to read his or her manga, and to keep 'tense some times, but also to give us some rest from all action, heart breaking chapters...
