"What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun."
Ecclesiastes 1:9
There is no point in worrying about whether your idea is truly original or not. What matters is that it appeals to someone, it hasn't been done to death by mainstream entertainment, and that it feels genuine, not just an attempt to chase trends. At least you'll have some extremely obscure manga to reference as some of your artistic inspirations!
thanks! that's the verse that makes me remember of some "modern" things that were common on the ancient pagan civilizations like in old greece, egypt, sodom, etc. I particularly don't worry too much even though many of the features from my cartoon were featured on other things before i think it's still a pretty different cartoon.
Besides the monster like creatures can be seen on things like yugioh, dictionnaire infernale, metal album covers etc, i just had the idea to fuse their monstrous elements with anime girls, it ain't a big deal after all. I never knew about this manga until today, like i didn't know about junji ito until few months ago

I have a Bible verse for you, for once!
