thats a nice goal i guess, but i think you would have to be an amazing artist to compete with them for jobs over there. thats assuming you speak their language

Without wanting to crush your dreams or anything, but I know professional illustrators with decades of experience and immense talents who have tried - and failed repeatedly - to break into Manga in Japan. First of all, Manga studios are intensely xenophobic and it's virtually unheard of for them to hire non-Japanese artists. Secondly, you have to be AMAZING. And I don't just mean good or even excellent, I mean *world-class* to even get their attention. Thirdly you would need to be able to speak fluent Japanese. But getting back to your question, I doubt anyone here is going to have the answers for you. You're better off asking on Yahoo!Answers Japan, you might find someone Japanese who has insider knowledge! Or you could try emailing Emma Vieceli: http://emma.sweatdrop.com/ She's the only successful non-Japanese Manga artist I know!
