Mangaka <TAG1> is a Japanese artist (and writer) who creates manga, a form of comics or graphic novels that is popular in Japan and beyond. Mangak works can range from short stories to long series. Mangaks work at a professional level.
How to become a mangaka?
Anyone can become a mangaka, but just like any business - this profession requires practice in drawing and telling stories. Many mangakas start as assistants to already famous artists, learning the craft before creating their own works. You should also pay attention to the term - doujinshi (self-published manga). Through self-publishing, many people begin their journey to a professional (commercial) mangaka career.
Can foreigners become mangakas?
There are cases when people from outside Japan became successful mangakas. When they mastered the Japanese language and culture, it gave them a chance in the industry. But some believe that real mangakas are Japanese (or born in Japan) because they know culture, aesthetics and language more deeply.
