It's my dream to become one... I will even give up my life in America and move to Japan to do so, learn to speak and read a new language (Though hard). But I would rather just work for like Shonen Jump or something and work in America to make the Graphic Novels... I am pretty good at drawing, but I just want to know if anyone knows?

Yeah, anyone can. My pen name is Masahiro Nobunaga. I chose Nobunaga because he was one of the first men to try to unify Japan under one ruler.

Actually, Yes, an American can become  manga artist. There are a couple of them out there, Bizenghast is written and drawn by an American, she lives in South Carolina. Just keep drawing and developing the story and characters until you feel comfortable submitting it to a company.

I dont have much friends anyway, but I will push for American artists to be Mangaa artists. Stan-Lee had to work with a Japaneese manga artist to make Ultimmo, so why couldnt he just do it himself. (Sorry, ment to reply to something else and forgot that I already commented on that... sorry)

"Bust through the heveans with your Drill!

Yeah

Zaborg19's picture
I really want to become one, and it really is fun! If there were a Creative Writing section on here, I would post up a story I made on antother forums in where I moderate, of a story I made which would probably be my first Manga I will make if I became a Manga artist!

well
