Empty+Peace

Sub-Questions: How can peace be achieved after many years of war? Why do most wars continue on again and again?
= Our Pitch Plans =

1. Our idea is to let people over the world understand the meaning of peace and war through a manga story.

2. This is a great idea because it will interest more people and make them believe what peace and war really is.

3. Our hook is to ask if anyone actually knows what true war and peace is and to tell them that we can explain it.

4. One reason why this is a great idea is because it will interest more people and attract them since it's a manga. Our 2nd reason is because it will give the readers a chance to see what real war and peace is. Our final reason is because it will give readers a chance to think over the story.

5. What we will tell our readers is that war in general is hate and power while peace in general is forgiveness and love.
