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.
