Is 40+ pages enough for a one shot doujin manga?

Recently Kuroi Kai has been thinking of doing a doujin manga mini series, titled "ASSASSIN HUNTER" and the rough draft he did for the first CHAPTER consist of 51 pages. Unfortunately, he needs to think of the paper budget. As he has (sort of) limited supplies of manga papers to use for doing comics.

So instead of making a mini series for ASSASSIN HUNTER, he'll probably make a one shot doujin manga instead which might consist of up to 40, 50 or 60 pages. So from the rough draft Kuroi Kai did for the first CHAPTER of ASSASSIN HUNTER, he needs to omit a few things from it for a one shot.

Another reason why he decided to make one shots instead of mini series is because he also wants to do other stories besides ASSASSIN HUNTERS.

Other stories to work on includes:

TRIPLE TROUBLE, ROXY ROCKSTAR, INJUSTICE (working title - title will change depending on how the plot goes and how many pages it takes to make the one shot doujin manga), LIKE A VAMPIRE,  and others...

TRIPLE TROUBLE is inspired by the simple sketchy manga Kuroi Kai did when he was in secondary school... about high school rivalries which ended up as trouble in high school until everybody complains about their rival wars...

ROXY ROCKSTAR, like ASSASSIN HUNTER, she is inspired by a fictional character within an unpublished 10 page comic.

Originally ASSASSIN HUNTER was named Bullet Jack in an unpublished comic...

Doujin Manga Draft and Projects...

Recently, Kuroi Kai has been suffering artist's blocks. However, he broke the Artist's Block and now he's doing some rough draft for a Doujin Manga mini series titled "Assassin Hunter".

For preview snap shots of the doujin manga "Assassin Hunter" click HERE to see them. You can also see how the draft cover look like HERE.

Other project includes "Roxy Rockstar", A work-in-progress Racing story, "Triple Trouble", and other mini series.

Delaying more works due to Artist's Blocks...!!!

One thing Kuroi Kai hates when it comes to drawing... is having those pesky artist's blocks!! Once you're experiencing an Artist's Block, you won't be able to think of anything to draw but blank... Blank... on a piece of white blank paper...

So books which are going to be done by Kuroi Kai will be delayed for now until he can get his mojo back!!

"BLACK. WHITE. GREY" to be put aside for now while doing other works...

Recently, Kuroi Kai is facing some difficulties with his social issues and personal problems. As he is also hoping to go study overseas after submitting his application form on time to the academy he wish to go to.

So as he is taking some time to get things done for the illustration book "BLACK. WHITE. GREY", it might probably take him a while to get it done. Unfortunately, he's been pressured by harsh criticisms which shows that he won't be able to do better illustrations.

So it looks like he'll need to do other works for sure. He said that he's been working on some experiments while struggling from artist's blocks...

So since "BLACK. WHITE. GREY" has been delayed/postponed, what other works will Kuroi Kai be doing for AKABUMI? Last year, he said that he doesn't have any good stories for comics so he isn't doing any comics at all... But what made him decide to do comics was something out of the blue...
