About E.O. Tenkey
Hello, E.O. Tenkey here! I am a budding serial novelist (which is a lot less dirty than it sounds) currently writing the first volume of My Life is Not a Manga, or maybe..., a series about a young man who discovers that he is the protagonist of a manga. Of course, the revelation he is a fictional character is not an easy pill to swallow, particularly because he is well aware of the many tropes that inform manga genres. Thankfully for you the reader, no prior knowledge of manga is required! You can simply sit back and enjoy the absurdity; experience with Japanese manga, anime, or light novels will simply heighten your enjoyment.
I am currently releasing a minimum of one chapter every Wednesday on notamanga.com and Royal Road, with chapters published more frequently as time permits.
(This is actually a pretty high-level drawing for me; the hat has a shadow and a highlight!)
Which brings us to Patreon. With your help, I will commission an actual illustrator to get proper interior illustrations! Patrons receive advance access to illustrations and input on which characters to give priority and which scenes to illustrate!
Plus get early access to the most recent chapter at notamanga.com a week ahead of readers on Royal Road!
My goal is to make a living through my writing, and "Not A Manga" is the starting point. If you enjoy my work, I hope you will help me to make it even more colorful.

Why Patreon?
I'm writing this thing regardless of whether you decide to throw money at me, because I want to read it. However, no Japanese-inspired literary endeavor is complete without illustrations, and my talents in that area are...decidedly sub-par. Exhibit A, drawn by Your's Truly:(This is actually a pretty high-level drawing for me; the hat has a shadow and a highlight!)
