[Discussion] Are they any successful american mangaka

[Ryuma720]

I ask cause I got three good ideas for a manga (but I won't tell u so no one can steal the idea)


I'm still trying find out what I can do for a career:
Animation
Digital Photography
or manga (but that might just be a hobby)

If you don't pass as an asian, you're shit out of luck.

Also, your ideas probably have been done before one way or another.

I'm not so sure about Americans specifically, but in recent memory Kamiya Yuu (No Game No Life) is a successful mangaka who isn't Japanese.

Also, your sig makes my penor diamonds. Sinon is love, Sinon is life.

No, the Japanese are very racial oriented people. They wouldn't allow it to flourish in their country unless it's by a Japanese person.

We, americans, make comics not manga

 

[Sakuto]

Yeah. Superman...

Unless you're Japanese or atleast have their nationality (wich you gain by living in Japan for a few years) you can't officially be a mangaka. Manga is their tradition to wich they hold on to tightly. If you want to be an animator, illustrator or a comic artist you can do just fine in America. Do note that the industry is very hard to break through so don't think it is all sunshine and rainbows.

America has comics or book series .
