Mangakas are creators of manga, which are Japanese comic books or graphic novels. They are responsible for writing the story, designing the characters, and drawing the illustrations. Mangakas may work independently or as part of a team with other artists and writers.
A mangaka just means and author of a manga, as a author would write and illustrate a book, a mangaka does the same to their manga.
Mangaka (漫画家)
Typically, mangakas (manga artists) already have a plot in mind way before any specific event happens. The series was ended while it was good, so that it wouldn't drag on forever. Simply, the animators follow the mangakas, and what they say and do goes. Once they ended the series, the animators could only follow.
CLAMP...... a group of female mangakas. Among their creations Card Captor is the only manga/anime that has a happy ending, the rest are tragic
Osamu Tezuka's "Astro Boy" manga provided a benchmark for other Japanese mangakas to strive for in quality and in the techniques of both art and narrative .
Mangakas typically do not directly request anime adaptations of their work. Instead, their publishers or production companies may approach them to discuss the possibility of turning their manga into an anime. If a manga becomes popular enough, it may generate interest from production companies looking to adapt it into an anime series.

If you mean, "in money" then it would be 3,000- 4,000 U.S dollars. But if you mean, "produce" then it would be manga (pronounsed: mon-ga, which is Japanese cartooning (but that doesn't mean Americans can't be mangakas ;)
The advantages in this career path depend on whether you work for a publishing house or independently. Most mangakas will say different things such as the freedom to influence a generation or seeing your childhood stories come true.
well , I wouldn't really say that all mangaka actually go to "colleges" to become amangaka, but some do goto manga colleges..... others like Arakawa Hiromu used to be apprentices for other mangakas ( this is for better experience and reference, maybe) until they think they are ready to go and do their own stories..... alot of mangakas just start out by approaching a publisher (usually through contests) and , if they are lucky, they might just get selected (which is like once in a blue moon). some others might publish theirs as a weekly read in a magazine and hope for a publisher to look at it.
No, you do not have to live in Japan to make manga. Many creators outside of Japan have successfully created and published manga in their home countries or online. However, living in Japan may provide more opportunities and resources for aspiring manga artists.
There is only one manga company that I know of that allows minors to publish manga and that is tokyopop. But you have to get your parent to sign it. But where can i find the tokyopop company in California
The average income for mangakas can vary widely depending on factors such as popularity, publishing frequency, and sales. In general, mangakas in Japan tend to earn more on average compared to Europe and America due to the size and popularity of the manga industry in Japan. However, it is difficult to provide a precise average income as it can range from very low for emerging artists to very high for established, bestselling mangakas.
