can be anything about Coffee Party characters. Croissant, Eclair, Dango, and others. 4-koma, 8-koma, illustration, manga, comic, everything is OK.
Who is Croissant?
You should take Croissant or Eclair at least. You can add your original character if you like - he or she should be named by a sweet (hairstyle), typical one in your country (Something nice with coffee).
On the first page, your name and title(if you have) are required.
The language must be English, I'll add Japanese subtitle later. (You can do both, if you like) So you need to keep some space for subtitle in speech balloons). Of course you can add the Japanese subtitle by yourself.
You can read some back numbers from here. See how Croissant and Éclair are like.

You don't need export the file, both Clip Studio and Manga studio file are acceptable. But all the text layers should be rasterized. (I recommend to keep the text layers. You can put all text layers in one folder and copy it, then merge the folder. It's automatically rasterized. )
