I also hear its exteremely difficult to learn how to write in japanese, and if you dont learn, they wont even consider your works! I would also have to leave america, and go live there, and I really dont have sufficient funds to go there, nor actually pay for a place to live! I really want to be a manga ka, its the only thing Ive ever wanted to do, but sometimes, it feels like Im just waisting my time. Please tell me theres some hope for me.  |
if its what you want to do then just go for it. its my dream to become one as well. right now im doing research and creating things for a manga i plan to send to publishing companies soon. you can also try Tokyopop. they have contests for manga artists every so often id say get started now so when they announce it you'll be ready.
