Totally From My friend ^w^!!

Totally Took the words from my mouth Mmhmm
There is a lot more going on than just color and black and white.

There are plenty of American comics in black and white. There are also plenty of American comics that aren't "realistic-looking" and plenty of Japanese comics that are.

Manga is a medium, it's the art of Japanese storytelling in comic form. Saying "I want to be a manga artist" is the same as saying "I want to be a French filmmaker." You can be inspired by French film. You can be influenced by French film. You can love French film. But unless you're French, you aren't going to be a French filmmaker.
