_alostdream. You must join the community in order to participate, but only the banner makers and I will have posting access. If you have any questions or comments please leave a comment at the Help Desk.
This community is a weekly icon challenge based on graphic novels (or 'manga') published by Jump. You are only allowed to use images from manga (or the anime version of the manga) licensed by Jump. Please read to the Usable Manga List for what kind of images you can use and more information.

I put credits on the voting post and I CANNOT put your username/a private or public community/or your sites.
