With the employment visas, you`d need a 4 year degree. If you`re planning on going to Japan in your early 20s, that shouldn`t be too much of a problem. As for getting a manga published... Unless you go the doujinshi route, good luck on that one.

Most manga artists publish doujinshi of their work before they`re syndicated.

Oh, really? I always thought doujinshi were fan comics. At least, that's what most Americans call it that. Cool, you learn something everyday
 yeah, doujinshi isn't such a bad idea to me, I just want to get something out there. Sorta like the writer, at least, writers I know, they write for the art of writing, and then they want to share to the world what they are about. Same with myself, except I'd like to express myself through manga. The thing is, even now that I know what doujinshi is, there still really isn't any doujinshi here. Only people with contracts with people like tokyopop get there stuff published. I don't know how I would go about publishing it

Nyororin and jasonbvr have lots of very useful information posted..
to join in, I also live and work in Japan. I've been here for 2 years already. Although the only information I know about the English-teaching community is from a friend of mine. I tried applying at schools, just for the sake of it, and they say that I am not a native english speaker so they did not accept me heheh, well there goes my attempt of being a teacher.  How to learn Japanese in a fast way? Join lots and lots of classes , japanese classes. Actually its cheaper learning Japanese here than at home because there are lots of volunteers willing to help you. Go to your local city hall and ask for a list of Japanese volunteer class. And interact with lots of Japanese and don't be shy speaking to them and ask them if they could correct your grammar, don't get irritated or angry if corrected but instead be greatly, you find that Japanese people are really helpful if you show them that you are interested and very much willing to learn. In learning the language you have to have an idea which part of the language is your priority. In my case, I can't concetrate in all aspect like reading, writing and speaking as I have struggle also with work so the time being I concentrate in conversation/speaking and a bit of reading, and if I can familiarization in Kanji. It also help that I was sent to a client with no foreigner and no one can speak English. So my week was like work till friday , in all Japanese and then classes on Saturdays , Sunday was my only rest day where I talk with my friends.

Do you even need to go to school for teaching to be an english teacher? Or, can you go to art school, yet still be an english teacher in japan? Just wondering.
Death brings eyes. Each time we blink we open our eyes again, yet, when we blink our last people will close their eyes and tear. However, the death will cause people to eventually open their eyes once again. Become stronger, strive to live as long as they can. Life brings death. Death Brings life.
